Reeves, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., gave an interesting and educational address before the mem bers of the Spanish Club at their rooms, Second and State streets, last evening. Mr. Reeves spoke on "The Commercial Value of the Spanish Language." The purport of his address follows: "Spanish will within a few years become the foremost of commercial languages. The attitude of the South Americans up to this time toward their brothers of the north has been that of suspicion and mistrust. They have thought that the North Ameri can designs are aggressive, both on their territory and commerce, but in the last few years this feeling has disappeared and a more friendly feeling exists between the United States and South America. This is largely due to the policy followed by the Government at Washington, D. C., to create a more harmonious relation between our country and that of South America. The tour of the South American countries by Elihu RQot several years ago did much to bring about this closer un derstanding and the consistent aim of the Government to cultivate this policy toward these countries has done much to strengthen that closer relation. "The world war has also brought the South American countries and the United States closer together. Sev eral of the South American countries have severed diplomatic relations with Germany and some have de clared war. This will naturally bring about an alignment of the countries that will prove another step in cementing the unity between South America and the United States. "What will be the result of all this? Simply this, our businessmen will have easier access to South American commercial fields and it they are aggressive and fair in their methods, our trade with South Amer ica will be greatly expanded. An other advantage that our business men now enjoy is the superior bank ing facilities made possible in for eign countries by the foreign branch bank system effected by the new Federal Reserve Act. The National City Bank of New York City has opened several branch banks in South American countries, particularly Bra zil and Argentine. This system makes commercial transactions easier and more efflcient than formerly when we had no branch banks there. "Another advantage is that after the war we will have an enlarged merchant marine that will be availa ble for importing and exporting bus iness with foreign countries. This country will doubtless emerge from the war as the strongest maritime power on the face of the earth. This is a natural result of the hundreds of ships this country is building and will build in the nair future to trans port soldiers and supplies to the war zone. AVhen the war Is over these ships will be available in South American trade as well as in other foreign trade routes, and will give our businessmen ample shipping fa cilities to successfully supply, the needs of South American countries. America will also have a freer hand in South America after the war for the competition with Germany will not be so keen as formerly; a pref erence, doubtless, for England and the United Staes will be exercised by the Southern Continent peoples. Prior to the war, Germany was rap idly monopolizing the South Ameri can trade, with England a close sec ond. The European countries made every scientific study of the needs of that country and were far more efficient than we are in our business methods. They gave a longer term of credit than our American mer chants do and they sent the finest type of representatives to that coun try—men who could speak Spanish nnd Portuguese fluently and studied the people carefully, as well as the commercial methods, blinking facili ties and economic needs. The result was that competitors for this trade were rapidly gaining foothold, while our big bGsinessmen failed to grasp the big opportunities for trade ex pansion. lAg Opportunities "The world war gives great advan tages, if our businessmen will re spond by making a more efficient and scientific attack on the problem. There is no trade limit to the trade that may be secured, for competition in the future will be intense because the European countries, especially Germany, will make a fierce effort to regain the lost trade there. "What I have said in this con nection is designed to show you the absolute commercial value of Span ish. There is a groat field open to young men in the importing and ex porting business as well as in the manufacturing of such products as are sent to foreign countries. Obvi ously these great business concerns, many of which will have commer cial relations with the South Ameri can countries, will need young men and women in their employ who can use the Spanish language fluently. Spanish correspondents will be es sential. Kach office will need such persons who can speak and type write Spanish letters. There will also be an unusual opportunity for commercial travelers to go to these South American countries to repre sent these big concerns there, and they, of course, must necessarily speak Spannsh. "It Is a wonderful field—rich in opportunities, and 1 trust that many young men of this city will avail themselves of the opportunity af forded to take this study by attend ing our Spanish classes. The classes for the second semester will be opened Thursday, January 3, 1918. These study classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday evenings until the summer. Mrs. Menges, the teach er In charge.

It is one of the finest and most difficult works thf- Olivet and Immanuel choirs have ever attempted and promises to be one of the most worthwhile.
