3 AUSTRALIAN MERCHANT
h SCORES OUR ATTITUDE
Says Business Men Here Pur
sue Short-Sightcd and Dis
couraging Attitude
"Onft mnn out at every 15 bt the popu
lation of Australia volunteered anil went
Into nottve service for the witf," sulci Her.
mnn Pfrtff, of Melbourne. Australia, n gen
eral Importer, who Is visiting Philadelphia
with a View to establishing commercial
relations with merchants and manufan
turers n this city. , .
" Australia." he said, "has n population
f S.060.000 and over 300,000 have volun
' ' tarlly enlisted' for the war. The feeling of
loynlty for tho mother country." ho con
tinued, "Is far more Intense nnd the feel
ing of bitterness against Oenilnny Is
greater than In Great Hrltaln! In fAct, tho
, Ausfra linns nro more Kngllsh than the
English themselves. And they are moio
compact In tholr loyalty that Is, llicro Is
lltttn or no difference erf opinion on. the
subject.
"Mlslness In Australia has been serious
ly affected by the war. Our exports are
keeping up remarkably, but we are ham
V Iiered by the scarcity tiC ships to trans
port "our wbol, fruit and meat, which are
our three principal exports. Our wool ex
port nlono nmounts to uvcr $260,000,000
each year,
"-My personal opinion," said Mr. Pfnff,
"Is that Australia will recover more quick
ly after the war Is over than any other
country- because we nro n producing coun
try rRthcr than n manufacturing ono;
thnt Isi wo produce the raw mntcrlnls.
IVo have no-lnrga steel Industries like
England nnd the United States; wo finish
' half-manufactured products qUlto cxten-
nlvsly. Woolens, boots and shoes are our
1 " lamest manufactures."
Mr. Pfaff Is here to replace thoMlncs he
.formerly Imported from Uerniany' espe
cially dry Roods, hardware and pianos.
"My experience for bo rnr, no Bald,
'show mo that American merchants and
manufacturers nro too busy nnd too pros-
X' trnds. I ihirlk they nro adopting a short-
ntchtpri nnllrv. ntul tliev will And If thev
f Uo not go nfter this business now when
' 'It Is seeklnff them, some one clsb will

for It nfter the war. when the wheels be
gin to slow down nnd they will want a'
market for their surplus. It Is not en

Police Court Chronicles
As Ions as Mike McCroary has his pock
ets filled with potatoes nnd matches ho
Is happy. Mlko figures as long as ho
can keep a supply of spuds ho can l'-o
without consulting the morgue or the
poorhouse. Hut even to keep supplied
with potntoes requires enerpy or money.
3tII;c finds It dlfllcult to obtain tho lnttcr
for the reason that the wave of pros
, perlty has not carried u Job .In his direr
' tton up to the present time. His failure
I; In this connection is duo largoly to -the
Jl fact that most employers light shy oC
j' Jllkc, His appearance Is not calculated
jj.to Inspire hopo or enthusiasm and ho
jj'la always run down because of his love
ji;of liquid.
):". Therefore, to obtain his favorite dish
; It was necessary to find the potatoes when
"their , owner wasn't looking. Mike nn
! nexed a bag of spuds In this fashion from
-r huckster wngon A'ml carrying tliem to
. the sldo of a railroad track sorted them
OiL
oUt Iji vnrlous sizes, McCroary was well
stocked up "for a siege hut found thnt
he had run out of matches,
Nearby a locomotive was pudllng
vigorously. Ho asked tho engineer if
he could roast the potatoes in the en Kino's
hot coals. The engineer reminded him
that he wasn't running a hotel, but Mll;o
became obstinate. He squatted on tils'
tracks and refused to budge. Whilo he
and tho engineer were arguing PoIIce-
man Fonn arrived. He ended tho trouble
by taklmr JHko befor Maclstrate Wrls-
ley at the Belgrade and Cleurtleld streets
station. Incidentally tho potatoes were
found near tho side of tho railroad trnck.
Mlko said If he had something on his
mind to pass the time uway ho would
be able to keep out of mischief,
'They need industrious men like you
at the House of Correction," said the
JUdge.
So without solicitation on his part
Miko obtained a job there which will
list for the nex 30 days.

TRADE HOARD URGES PENNSV
TO BECOME BELT LINE ROAD
Would Vastly Increase Manufacturing
Inducements, Is Belief
The linking of tho Pennsylvania
nallroad. into tho system operated by tho
Philadelphia Belt l.lnc Railroad will re
sult In building up tho Delaware River
front With new business enterprises to n
greater extent than almost any other ptan
yet devised, according to William It.
Tucker, secretary of the Board of Trade.
This commercial organization. In view
of its participation In the via Philadelphia
movement, Is. noRotlating wlih tho Penn
sylvania to enter the liett Lino system.
The Phllndelphlr. and ReaJtng Rnllwny
and tho Baltlmoio nnd Ohio already nro
associated, With all three railroads In
cluded In the Belt Lino system outside
manufacturers would to induced to locato
along its line.' Mr. Tucker declared, be
causo of tho fact that nil roads would bo
equally nt their disposal. This, he pointed
out, was a big factor where a manufac
turer shipped all over the .country,
Another benefit, ono that would affect
local shipments, ho brought out, would be
the elimination of switching charges at
times when It was necessary to deliver
freight to the piers over two different
roads. Under the present arrangement If
a shipment.of goods is to go from tho
Reading to n pier on the lines of the Penn
sylvania, or vlco versa, the consignment
must be taken to Belmont Junction over
ono rood and transshipped over tho other
line. In this. operation the, shipper Is sub-,
Jected to n double charge. With nil roads
working!!! conjunction with the Belt Line,
this shipment would pass directly over
tho Belt Lino at, an Insignificant freight
rate.
