BERNE, Switzerland, May 20 (by
mail).—For her continued work while
in Berlin in behalf of British civilians
interned in Ruhleben, Miss Geraldine
M. De Courcy of Mississippi, employed
in the passport department of the
United States legation at Berne, and
similarly employed at the embassy in
Berlin until the breach of diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Germany, has been signally hon
ored by the British government.
She has been given a stiver service,
consisting of a large and suitably en
graved loving cup, for “having dis
tinguished herself in the service of
British prisoners in Germany.” The
cup has been delivered to the state de
partment in Washington, and will be
given to Miss De Courcy as soon as
congress gives its necessary permis
sion.
The honor is the more striking be
cause Miss De Courcy is the only
woman to be thus distinguished, just
as she was the only woman permitted
by the German government to visit
Ruhleben, see the prisoners and at
tend to their wants. She carried on
the work tirelessly for eighteen
months, went to the camp on nearly
every occasion when Ambassador
Gerard visited it, and often when he
did not, and made herself very popu
I lar among the prisoners of war.
BUENOS AIRES, June 28.—The
Lloyd Brazilian Steamship Company
has established another new line of
boats between Buenos Aires and Be
lem, Brazil, with callings at Monte^
video, Rio Grande, Santos, Bahia, Mac
cio, Recife (Pernambuco) and Ceara.
This new service was natigurated .
by the steamship Rio Janiero, which .
sailed from this port recently with
passengers, mail and cargo.
In a short time thereafter other
boats were placed on this run. It is
believed that the new enterprise has
been well planned and that its suc
cess is assured. The greater part ot
the ships which once carried the traf
fic between these ports belong to
European companies and have since
the war been placed on transatlantic
routes.
The Lloyd Brazilian company al
ready has established several lines
between Buenos Aires, Montevideo
and Chile. This company, instead ot !
liquidating its boats at the high prices
brought about by the war, has bought
all the available tonnage in South
American w'aters for the purpose of
enlarging its formerly small fleet.
Since the war began Argentina has
been selling off her boats, until today
she is practically without the sem
blance of a merchant marine Brazil,
on the other band, baa bees baying
boats as fast as Argentina sold them,
and now possesses several regular
lines of steamers with sailings be
tween the principal Argentine and
Brazilian ports.
The sailing of an Argentina boat
from Buenos Aires has become an un
common thing. The few ships that re
main under the Aregntine flag are
destined at an early date to be sold to
foreign countries.
Brazilian companies have taken ad
vantage of Argentina’s inclination to
realize immediate, large profits from
the sale of her boats, and has ac
quired ships of every class,
j Argentina today is at a great disad
vantage and entirely unable to com
pete with Brazil In shipping. It will
be many years before she is able to
overcome the lead in shipping which
Brazil has acquired so rapidly.

A single strand in the cables which uphold the Brook
lyn bridge is not very strong, but thousands of these !
strands uphold one of the great thoroughfares of the
world.
When our fathers, sons and brothers were called by our
country to take up arms in her defense you did not hear
an individual soldier refuse to serve because his service
alone would not win the war. EACH MAN WAS j
READY TO DO HIS PART.
If we are to win this war each and every one must do
his part. The savings of every man, woman and child j
are necessary if we are to hasten the victorious ending of
the war.
