WILL CONDEMN THOSE AIDING
TURKS TO RE-TAKE JERUSALEM
Rome, Dec. 17. According " to the
Messagero, the Pope has addressed a
circular letter to all bishops in the
belligerent countries declaring that if
any Christian state aids the Turks in
an attempt to re-take Jerusalem it will
be condemned by the Holy See.
Washington, Dec. 17 America's as
cendancy to financial supremacy in the
world in the brief space of three years,
Ngives every promise of continuing aft
er peace comes, according to the an
imal report, of "the bureau of foreign
end domestic commerce.
"It is probable that the demand by
European countries.' the roport says,
"especially Russia, France and Belgium,
for building material, machinery, rail
way equipment and other construction
and reconstruction material will "be
larger than during the war. Much of
our new business in South and Central
America, Australia, and the Far EastT
as well as in, Africa, is expected to be
permanent, especially in view of our
increased . purchases of raw materials
and foodstuffs from these .countries"
Since 1914 the flow of gold has been
steadily toward the United States in
payment for this country's goods, un
til one-third of the world's visible sup
ply of gold is held here. Net imports
of gold have amounted in three years
to ?1,115.000,000 and in addition mil
lions of dollars Jworth of American se
curities held abroad have been return
ed here in exchange for merchandise.
" Millions also have-been invested in for
eign securities and government loans
end the United States has made loans
to the allied governments amounting
to 52,250,000.000 to the close of the fis
cal year 1917.
"Three years ago the suggestion that
the United States would soon be a cred
itor nation received scant respect eith
er here or abroad," the report says.
"Now speculation is turning on our fu
,jture rank among creditor nations."
The fiscal year 1917 was the nation's
greatest year in foreign trade, due al
most entirely to higher prices and not
to larger quantities.
"That higher prices are not confined
to the United States, but are general
throughout the world is proved by the
Increases in the prices of imported ar
ticles," says the report.
Exports in 1917 were valued at the
unprecedented sum of $6,294,000,000 and
imports were $2,660,000,000, The exports
showed an Interesting feature in the
growth in sales of completed manufac
tures, $2,944,000,000. The tendency to
increase imports of raw materials and
. decrease purchases of finished manu
factures made a striking contrast on
the other side of the ledger.-
"There has been a pronounced ten
dency," says the report," to buy direct
from the original source of supply in
stead of through middlemen as here
tofore." Most pf the exports went to Europe,
consisting in the main of army sup
plies and foodstus, but tremendous in
creases were made in commerce with
Latin-America, the Far East and, re
mote parts of the world which former
ly were customers of European coun
tries. It is this new frade which the
Bureau is organizing to aid American
manufacturers to retain after the war;
end which Burwell S. Cutler, chief of
the Bureau, says can be done despite
the United States becoming a belliger
ent, adding:
"It is confidently expected that our
trade with South America, the Far East,
South Africa and with Australia will
not be too seriously interfered with
" and that we may reap In the future
the benefits of having cultivated those
markets so assiduously and intelli
gently during the past few years."
Exports to North American countries
Increased from $529,000,090 in 1914, to
$1,164,000,000 in 1917. a gain of 120 per
cent. Shipments to South America
more than doubled, rising from $125,
000,000 to $260,000,000. Exports to Asia
Increased more than three-fold, from
$113,000,000 to $380,000,000. Sales to:
Oceania rose from $84,000,000 to $lll,
009,000 and to Africa from $28,000,000 to
$53,000,000.
An interesting fact recorded in the
report is that war has not stimulated
exports of raw materials, which are
, needed at home and which it is difficult
to ship owing to the war, although ex
ports of cotton showed a recovery to
1 $543,000,000 after the depression in the
market during the first two years of
the .war.
For the first time in the history of the
. United States, Europe took second place
In selling goods to the United States.
Imports of $766,000,000 f rbm . North
America during the fiscal year 1917
were greater by $156,000,000 than the
imports from Europe. The increase in
purchases from North American coun
tries wag due largely to the greater
value of sugar purchased from Cuba.
; Imports from South America and Asia
showed a gain of 100 per cent over
1914.
In order to retain the advantages
gained by aggressive business methods
: and honest dealings, the bureau is en-
gaged in efforts to furnish reliable data
-on all commercial subjects and also fo
; aid American" commercial activity in
every foreign field. The corps of spe
cial agents employed to investigate
. specialized lines In various countries
has been doubled and now numbers 26
. Their activities have extended into
South Africa, New Zealand, Australia
and Oriental countries. Much informa
tion has been gathered and assorted by
the Bureau lor the benefit of American
manufacturers. A separate division for
handling far eastern affairs has been
organized, to promote commerce with
nations there as the Batin-American di-
' vision has stimulated trade with Ameri
can republics.

Washington, D, C, Dec. 17. "With
the exception of Jerusalem, Bethlehem
and Damascus, there is not a city in
the Holy Land which holds greater in
terest for the Bible student than the
ancient town of Hebron, whose capture
by British forces under General E. H. E.
Allenby was announced recently," says
a-war geography bulletin issued today
by the National Geographic Society
from its Washington ,headquarters. .
"Hebron is a ribbon of a town runr
ning along the eastern slope of a nar
row valley, above which are terraced
vineyards and fruit orchards of great
fertility. It is not more than 20 miles
southwest of Jerusalem, and in peace
times tourists are accustomed to make
the journey by carriage in four and a
half hours.
"Until captured and pillaged by the
Calebites (as recorded in the Book of
Joshua) Hebron was known as Kir-j
jath-Arba. It is one of the most an- j
cient cities in the world, having been'
founded, according to the Book of
Numbers, "seven years before Zoan In
Egypt."
"The name of Hebron means 'The
Friend of God,' in other, words the city
of Abraham. A tree standing in the
Russian hospice garden, half a mile
from the city, is known as the Oak of
Abraham. It will be remembered that
it was under the oaks of Mamre that
the patriarch pitched his tents and he
is supposed to have built an altar here
in 1920 B. C.
"When Moses sent his spies into the
land of Ca'naan Hebron was one of the
cities visited. It was here that David
was anointed king over Judah. and that
six of his sons -were born, including
Absalam who at a later date made this
place the headquarters oi his rebellion
against his father. It was also, here
that Abner, captain of Saul's hosts and
guardian of Saul's son Ishbosheth. was
killed by Joab.
"Hebron was fortified Rehoboam and
was repeopled after, the 'return of the
Children of Israel from captivity.
"Following the Biblical days Hebron
was destroyed by the Romans. It be
came a place of importance under Mos
lem rule, not only on account of its
commerce but also because of, its con
nection with Abraham, who is vener
ated by the followers of Mohammed.
During the Crusades it was occupied
by the Christians for a short time and
became the seat of a Latin. Bishop in
1167, but it was recaptured by the
Moslems under Saladin twenty years
later.
"The most conspicuous building in
Hebron is the Haram, with its ram
parts dating from the Herodian peri
od. Within the enclosure are modern
cenotaphs of Abraham. Isaac. Jaoob,
Sarah, Rebecca and Leah. These are
above, the double cavern of Machpelah,

on them to deny themselves the usual

"The most immediate difficulty."

of the millions, but for the purpose'
of furnishing power to drive the loco

"May I not use the exigency of this

far as possible in all war industries
wherever located in Virginia, to deny
