Coast Avenue of European Commerce
Special Correspondence A. P.
SAN Fit A NCI SCO,Cal if.—The Ger
man U-boat is adding daily to the
world importance of the ports of
Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, San Pedro,
according to a recent communi
cation from the National Council of
Defense to tlie Chamber of Commerce
here. The council states in this
missive that the Pacific will doubt
less escape tlie U-boat menace lie
cause of the difficulty of establishing
bidden bases, and the vast range of
water to be covered. As a result vast
shipments to Russia and other points
in the far east, which would ordinari
ly go by way of New York, will be
In-ought to the Pacific coast for deli
very across the ocean.
In order to cure for this vastly in
creased trade two large piers will
be built at Vladivostok, Russia, and
the terminals of the Trans-Siberian
railway will be enlarged.

its doois before that date. Others

game of "beggar your neighbor,” be

U. S. PIANO MAKERS
CAPTURE CHINA’S TRADE
Special Correspondence A. P.
WASHINGTON.—A curious result
of the Interruption to German for
eign trade brought about by the war
lias been the successful introduction
of American made pianos in the Chi
nese market, according to a special
report received at the department of
commerce from Consul General Geo.
K. Anderson at Hongkong.
Pianos for the Chinese trade here
to fore have come from Germany hav
ing been especially constructed and
priced low. Two hunderd and fifty
dollars, gold, is the most popular
price for th'ese instruments. They
# i
are smaller than the standard Amor- j
lean makes and constructed entirely :
without (he use of glue. A piano in
which glue is used deteriorates In
ihe Chinese climate, the report says.
American firms have awakened to
the opportunity opened by the cut
ting off of Germany's commerce and j
have captured the Chinese market.
Tange supplies of American made
[danos now are going forward to the
Chinese market. The report says
that to keep tin- piano trade of the
Orient American manufactiirers must
built ttic-ii- instruments to withstand
lic-at and dummpness. If this sugges
llon will be followed, (lie deparment
says, the piano trade may be held
I by Americans after tin- war as the
American product is rapidly gaining
in popularity
