A Union battery at the top of a
little hill was holding up the ad-
vance. The school boys went into
action behind a stone wall at the
bottom of the hill, in the center
of the line.
As the Union fire increased the
boys received orders to advance.
In the face of withering fire from
seasoned soldiers they charged
the hill, captured, and held the
battery.
It was the only time a cadet

In a careful examination
1930 from the American stand-
point. he showed that our foreign
trade had fallen off considerably
more In value than in volume,
owing to lower commodity prices. .
American foreign trade reached a |
peak of $13,500,000,000 in
fell almost by one-half to $7.000,-
900,000.0000 in 1930. The last t
000,000 in 1928 and $9,600,000,

900.000,000 In 1930. The last to-
tal was 28 per cent below 1929
and 25 per cent below the average
for the previous five years.
But although our exports fell
27 per cent from 1929 value to
$3,843,000,000 in 1930, the De
partment of Commerce, making
adjustment for price changes, has
estimated that the quantity of our
exports dropped only 19 percent.
And imports of $3,061,000,000

Also, said Signor Pirelli, al-
though the United States owns 75
per cent of the world’s operating
automobiles the number of new
registrations of motor cars in
1930 was 453,000 in Europe and
only 123,000 in the United States.
John H Fahey, the American
publisher, former president of the
international chamber, said the
trade of Europe as a whole had
expanded at practically the same
rate as that of the United States
except for the war period.
Fahey also made the interest-
ing observation that it was an
open question, raised by able
economists, whether living stand-
ards in the United States had
risen more rapidly than in Eu-
rope. Comparisons, he said,
might be merely matters of opin-
ion and the variations simply
those represented by different
tastes and attitudes of mind.

It makes a lot of difference to
this country. No one disputes the
growing interdependence of the
two continents. Europe provides
half our export markets and the
percentage of loss In exports to
Europe during the period of de-
pression has been less than that
in our exports to any other conti-
nent. . , .
The United States is more im-
portant to Europe as a spuree of
supplies than as an export mar-

mists at the international Cham
