Paviilson. a Brlt th banker who haa Jut arrived in tliia country on hi war to 8uoth Amer ica, aaid that he thought it would take licrmtny from five to ten years to put heraelf bark In a poaition to make an ef (ectiva bid for her loet trade In fouth American countries. Mr. Intvidson Is Inspector of branches for the Anglo outb American Hank, whone home of fice is In London, lie will vtsit the bank's t went j-tbree branches in South America. "While Germanjr la preparing again to make her attempt to regain her houlh American business, which has been absolutely lost since the war be Iran, the allies, in the meantime, are doinr everything to procure and hold that part of the business which for merly went to the Teutons. he said. "Incidentally, the l'nlted States Is very favorably thousht of in Xouth America, especially alonir the west coast." Statements that American manufac turers did not meet the wishes of South American business men In the class of good offered and that our manufactur ers were, as a closs. too Independent and refused to observe packing and shipping directiona given by their South American customers, were aaid by Mr. lavldson to be exaggerated. He thought this waa more applicable to tlngih than to American manufactur ers. The attitude of the English man ufacturer was: "Here Is what we make. You may take them or leave them." Mr. tavidson will, during hia trip, make certain investigations In Argen tina with regard to the wool held there on Herman account. Thia wool, on which the Germans have made part payment and have met storage and in surance charges. Is being held there In the hope that the minute the war Is over it can be sent to Germany aa part f tha cargo of the thirty-eight German ships wheh are lying In Argentine waters. In the neighborhood of 104. nOO.nOe pounds of raw wool Is thus held In Argentina. It waa estimated by the banker. He ie!teves that Germany's partial ownership of this wool and oth er commodities in South America and wther parts of the world may become a factor In the terms of peace settlement "Bunktng and large manufacturing Interests In England, as In other allied countries, are now engaged In Initial work of laying their Jipe for gaining and holding the after-war trade." aaid Mr. Davtdron.

At this point Mr. Davidson turned to Russian matters, and. speaking of that Nation's opportunities, he said that be fore the advent of the Bolshevik! Rus sia had the opportunity of being the greateat Nation in the world In every sense of the word. That opportunity now had gone forever, he thought. He said that Russia had had before her, through the Dardanelles, her undevel oped natural resourcea. and her Im mense population, a future that was unrivaled tn history- Mr. Davidson scoffed at the reports that Germany, during the war, had been able to build large numbera of mer chant vessels with which to capture the ocean-going trade of the world and to offset the losses she had suffered by the aelxure of her own merchantmen. "Her first duty," he said, "will be to fill her own shelves." Touching upon the feelings of South Americans and people of other natlonl alitles whom he had studied In regard to the Germans, Mr. Davidson declared that tha business men of tha various countries, In the majority of cases, were not "especially fond" of the Germans, individually or collectively.' Neither, in the majority of cases, did these people like the German, residents In their re spective countries, ho declared. He be lieves that the Germans as a class have been too stupid and too Prussian in their dealings, with their foreign cus tomers to be able to regain or hold their former business through good will.

With his pockets rifled and his head beaten to a pulp, the body of a well-dressed but thus far unidentified man about 35. apparently a foreigner, was found in an excavation at Sansome and Broadway.

LONDON. -Lord Curzon, member of the War Cabinet, estimates 1.000.000 persons will be out of employment In the next few weeks, owing to cessation of munition work of various kinds. The government, therefore, has decided to expand the staffs of employment ex changes throughout the country to aid the eventual readjustment of some 10, 000,000 persons to peacetime conditions. Military Policewoman Valuable. LONDON. War conditions has shown officialdom here trie value of women "military policewomen," so London has decided to enroll 100 "lady cops" to patrol the down-town district during evil doing, especially by women.
