TRADE BALANCE FOR
YEAR, IS 3 . BILLION
Government Experts Regard
Showing as Gratifying and
Next Year's Plans Laid.
GOLD STILL FLOWING SOUTH
Imports of South American Goods
by United State Alone in Last
Twelve Months Have Totaled
Nearly $600,000,000.
WASHINGTON, June 29. The United
States closes its first fiscal year as a
participant in the great war with a
trade balance of approximately $3,000,
000,000. Kxports for the fiscal year will
total $6,000,000,000, as compared with
$6,290,048,30 in the 12 months ended
June 30, 1917. Impcrts increased from
$2,659,355,185 last year to about $3,000,
000,000 this year. .
Such a showing: was regarded as
very gratifying; by Government experts
and no uneasiness is felt because the
trade balance declined $630,693,209 as
compared with 1917.
Steps are being taken, however, to
retrieve the loss as far as possible in
the coming year by a fuller utilization
of available tonnage in foreign trade,
especially small boats not needed for
trans-Atlantio service, which can be
lined to carry surplus manufactures to
Latin-American countries and reduce
the shipments of gold made necessary
by the United States becoming a debtor
Nation of the other Pan-American re
publics. The increasing flow of gold to South
America was' one of the most striking
features - of world trade in the last
twelve months.' Products of the Latin
American countries meat, grain, rub
ber, hardwood, nitrates, tin, platinum
have been sought in large quantities
by the allies, which have had less and
less goods to ship in return as the
war progressed. The result has been
that the Latin-American countries have
been paid in gold, which they hardly
have been able to spend.
Imports of South American goods by
the United States alone in the last 12
months have totalled nearly $600,000,
000, while exports to the same conti
nents have been only about half as
much. The United States also Is debtor
to Asia, Oceania and Africa, despite
the growth in sales to countries of
those continents. Europe and North
America, including Canada, through
which is shipped much of the exports
going to Great Britain, continue to
look to this country as their great
source of supply.

ARPtlY LIFE PLEASES
Oregon Guard Prepares Series
of Field Maneuvers.
NEW RECRUITS ARE SOUGHT
Ilecent Arrival of Neiv Uniforms Has
Added Strength and Color lo
Oregon's New Military
Organization.
Army life holds more than the fas
cination of military tactics and disci
pline, according to a number of Port
land men enlisted In the Oregon guard,
many of whom will make their first
appearance as soldiers Monday night.
These men have discovered, they say,
an unexpected element of fellowship In
their weekly and semi-weekly drills.
This spirit ot comradeship In Com
pany A, under tne command of Cap
tain William B. Wolcott, was evident
during the past week. Members of the
newly formed company now in the hos
pital have received many visits from
fellow militiamen who a few weeks
ago were strangers.
The members declare that the democ
racy, frequently mentioned as charac
teristic of .the American . Army in
France, can be observed any night In
the week at the Armory at Tenth and
Couch streets.
Bankers and professional men are
accepting orders and instruction from
truck drivers or occasionally men em
ployed under them in daily life.
Nevr Uniforms Arrive.
The recent arrival of new uniforms
has added to the strength of Oregon's
new military - organizations, and the
past three weeks has seen the addition
of a number of strong recruits. The
uniforms are complete from leggings
to the blue infantry cords on the Army
hats and will make a striking array in
the review and Inspection announced
for Monday night.
At this time all four companies of
the Portland division, Companies A,
B, C and D, under the leadership of
Captain Wolcott, Captain Doble, Cap
tain Held and Captain Sawyer, will
make their strongest showing since or
ganlzatlon before Colonel W. C. North
and Adjutant-General John M. Wll
Hams.-
During tha past week a general
weeding-out process has taken place,
This weeding out has left openings for
a number of recruits, for whom begin
ners' squads already have been organ
ized, -The ranks will be brought up to
full strength of 100 men to each com
pany.
Soldiers Drill Regularly.
"I am pleased at the remarkable In
terest the boys are taking in their or
ganizatlon and we are anticipating
many pleasant outings and maneuvers
this Summer, said Captain Wolcott
Company A commander, who is also
ranking Captain In the guard.
"The men are planning a company
smoker, in .a. few days, with boxing
matches and a number of athletic
events. At the same time we are plan
nlng for an all-day outing to be held
very soon. We will choose some such
place as the Clackamas range and
spend . a whole day working out new
maneuvers.
"The company is anxious to learn
riot formations, for we are apt to be
called out some time to suppress an
outbreak in the city or state, and the
men must know how to handle them
selves In the streets.
"I am especially pleased at the in
terest the men are taking in their
weekly drill on Monday night. Instead
of coming the required once a week
many are appearing two and three
times a week, to improve their knowl
edge of .military drill and to hobnob
with each other.

"They will make splendid soldiers.
"Although the organisation was com
posed, originally, almost entirely of
Spanish War veterans. Company A has
opened its ranks to any man in Port
land of good habits and character who
can otherwise qualify. The new unl
forms are now on hand and will be is
sued at once. The men enlisting in
this organization are subject to call
anywhere in Oregon.
"I shall be glad to meet any new
men at the Armory any evening."

Without Extrayagance
BUSINESS men in the cities and on the farms, to whom the,
motor car is a necessity that cannot be dispensed with, find
in the GRANT Six a most satisfactory car. It gives the utmost
in motor car service at lowest cost of investment.
The business man knows that there is in motor cars,' as there
is in machinery or in buildings, a point where low price ceases
to be a low price in the long run. .His aim is always to buy at
that intermediate point which, combined with economy of oper
ation and long service, gives lowest actual cost.
The GRANT SIX price, we believe, is such apriceamong
sixes. The size and appearance of the car, its mechanical refine
ment which makes for durability and long service, and finally
its high economy of fuel, oil and tires, make the GRANT Six the
ideal car from a business man's viewpoint. Price, $1245 f. o.b.
