THE POTASH WAR.
An Explanation Of the Causes of the
Present Raise In the Tax on that

An Explanation of the Causes of the
Present Raise In the Tax on that
Article.
The following explanation of the
Potash War" has been made by Dan
lei /. Pierce. a representative of the
non-trust producers and purchasers.
When the German Potash Trust,
which controls tie worlds supply.
found that almost the whole American
market had been obtained by non-trust
mines at prices 35 per cent lower
than the trusts prices, demand was
made upon the German government
to find scme way to invalidate the
low-price American contracts.
This was accomplished by law
which in effect places tax of 100
per cent on ptoash sold to American
/ contract consumers. The tax falls
on the consumer because his contract
provides that the buyer shall pay all
/ government charges
The production of the non-trust
, mines is limited to an amount barely
suihcient to fill their American con-
| tracts; half this amount must be sold
IN Germany. Failing to do this (Which
1t was well known the non-trust
mines could not do) on their entire
product must be paid the enormous
! tax stated.
Before the tax law was passed prom
| ises were made that Germany would
not impair existing contracts. The
State Department Is now making cy-
cry effort TO secure observance of
these promises.
President Taft in his recent mes
| SaEe to Congress said: There are IN
| fortunately instances where foreign
F; governments deal arbitrarily with
American interests within their iu.
riadiction in manner injurious and
| incQuitable."
The German potash tax. levied for
the benefit of Il monopoly and 10 de-
Irive American consumers of the hen
elllS 10 NHlVn tncS are entlt'e0 under
contracts made long before the tax
law was passed, surely comes under
the Presidents definition or injurious
and ineQuitable" treatment.
Enrichment of American farm soil
should not be dependent upon the ov-
! er- -enrichNcnt OF the German Potash
Trust The hope of all agricultural
interests is that our Sta.e Department
will not allow this wrong to continue"

Athletics Banked Opponents q Times
the Past Season.

Much less wf1itewaSh was plastered
on American league teams this year
than last. That fact, taken in conjunc-
ton with the larger number of low
hit games recorded in 1910 indicates
one OF two things. The teams have ac-
quired the old White Sox habit of
scoring hitless runs or the fielding has
detericrated. There have been 127
shutout games in 1910, while last year
saw 145 games in which American
league pitchers allowed no runs. Tween :
ty of this years shutout battles have
been won by the lowest possible mar
gin, / to O. and in four battles neither
team has scored a run. This is in COM
parison with f40@1 to 0 games and one
runless contest last year
The White Sox have been partici-
pants in ~ shutout battles this year
No other team has taken part in as
army. Comiskey's men have won %

ers have handled the brush oftenest,
the Athletics having shut out oppon-
eTrts % times They have been blank
ed only four times. st. Louis has been
banked oftener than any other team

ents only nine times Altogether the
eastern teams of the league have been

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
CHANGED ATTITUDE
On Part of Foreign Money Lenders
Affects New York Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The speculative
movement in stocks showed signs to-
day of an entry upon a new stage
Besides the normal profit taking move
lnent which interrupts every advance
sooner or later it was evident that the
course of the London money market
was exerting more influence on the OPP
erations in the New York stock mar
ket than heretofore. International
banking houses in New York having
occasion to negotiate in London found
a degree of discrimination against
American borrowings that afforded a
sharp contrast with the recently ruling
conditions. 1t was reported that pri
yate banking advices gave as one ex
PLANTATION for the expected advance in
the official discount rate of the Bank
of England on Thursday a determines
disapproyal by the authorities of that
institution of the demand for creditors
in London for Use in the New York
speculation. The heavy drain on the
Bank of England supply from various
sources prompts the Bank of England
to take measures for the protection of
the reserve position.
There is nothing in the published
banking returns to indicate how far
New York borrowers have been resort
ing to London in financing the pres
ent speculative movement in stocks.
The shifting of loans amongst the New
York credit institutions in the period
of the speculative activity shows an
insignificant change on balance and a
negative inference Of resort to othei
sources may be deduced from that fact.
The foreign exchange market was
affected by this situation in the Lon
don market. The extension of the
present working arrangement for
financing exports also had the effect
Of strengthening the exchange market.
The local call money market show ed
the relaxed tone which developed yes
terday.
Whether on account Of a CHANGE
attitude on the part Of foreign money
lenders. or from other causes. the
mea sures for advancing prices of
stocks were less aggressive today.
United States Steel maintained It's
prominence in the dealings, but met
sufficient offerings to beat down the
price when attempts were made to lift
it. There were other points of strength
but they were less influential in thei1
effect on speculative sentiment. Read

BUSINESS is not one of the worst traits
in football, but it should be curbed, as
it has hindered the teams on several
occasions and prevented one touchdown
in the game last Saturday. With but
fraction of a minute to play and the
Harvard backs only a few yards from
the visitors goal line, the entire right
hand side of the Harvard line went off :

ball could be put in play after the pen

Eddie" Collins the Hero.
The hSQ of the afternoon, who
shone as brilliantly in his department
OF the game as did Bender in yester-
Gays contest, was Eddie Collins, the
SSar second baseman of the home team.
This former captain of the Columbia
university nine several times eIectri-
hed the crowd by his sensational
work. The score books show that in
MS f1ve turns at the plate he reached
fFst every time. making three hits,
two of them doubles, receiving base
on balls and making force play. He
scored two runs and sent two home;
accepted ten chances without an error;
inquired in two sensational plays that
stopped Chicago from running the
bases and last, but not least, the cham
pion base runner stole twice on the
king of National league backstops,
King. His work on the paths greatly
delighted the crowd.
Mordecai Brown kept Collins as close
to the first bag as he could. In the
sixth inning, Collins outguessed the
Chicago battery three times, Brown
pitching three wide balls for king to
line them all to second, but each time
Collins appeared to divine the play
and waited. Then he made hts dash
and went into the bag feet first as a
perfect throw reached the bag just
an instant too late.
Chieago's Inside Play Not in Working
Order.
Coombs pitched a most erratic game,
giving nine men bases on balls. He
got into trouble in the first inning by
giving two of the first three men up
ba ses on balls. He got away with the
inning with but one run scored against
him. At several other stages of the
contest he was in trouble, but the bril-

INVITING HEAVY MEN
TO TRY FOR CREW
Yale Taking a Lesson from Harvard.

New Haven, Oct. 1S.-In calling for
more crew men. Captain Frost of the
Yale crew and Mr.. Anderson. director
of the gymnasium, today asked that
heavy men try for the varsity boat,
pointing out from 1891 to 1905 Yale
defeated Harvard every year save two
by crews which always outweighted
their opponents. Since 1905 Yale has
been outweighted and has been beaten
four times.
Fatigue is declared to be the arch
enemy of the oarsman. Toxenia. which
is produced by exhaustion, affects less
the big-muscled man than his lighter
opponent. Statistics are quoted TO
show the advantage of weight, and
the statement is further made that
while figures do not conclusively prove
that heavy men must be in shell. II
can be shown that greater proper
ton of winning crews have been mace
