France Has. Kaiser
 in Tight Hole
Germany Must Soon Settle Mo- rOccan Differences to Avoid
 Bankruptcy
Special from United Press)


 Paris, Sept. 19-Unless Germany shall settle her differences with France before 6 o'clock next Tuesday night, she will be forced into virtual bank ruptcy
 This was the decision arrived at dur ing an all night conference between a group of leading French financiers presided over by Baron Rotschild, of Frankfort, acting on behalf of the German bankers who had hurried him to Paris to try to save them from bankruptcy. The Baron was unable to secure any, concessions except on the understanding that German fnan- ciers should force the government to settle the Moroccan troubles and thus reaSSure business everywhere
 German four per cent. government notes to the extent of 300, 900, ,00O marks come due next Monday. Most of them are held in France, where they were placed by German banks. The latter would have to make good and, as they admit they could not, they would be forced into bankruptcy, which would involve all Germany in financial chaos. Because of this fact, it is now believed here that Germany will be willing to accept a compromise proposition soon.
 The latest reply from Germany reached the capital today, having been handed to Ambassador Cambon in Berlin last night. While it's con- tents have not been made public and will not be, the officials say that it's tone is conciliatory and believe that one more exchange of messages will settle the question.

|BRANDE|S SCORES TAFT'S TRUST
 SPEECH AND LAUDS LAFOLLETTE FOR USING 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

it's illegal acts, may prove their dam- ages as an incident of the same pro- ceedings, and without having to un- dertake the impossibility of litigating anew, as under the present law the question of illegality.
 Second, the Sherman law as inter- preted by the supreme court leaves in vast uncertainty the question as to what in any case, will be deemed a restraint. The LaFollette bill, utiliZ- ing the experience of 20 years, spec1- f1es series of acts which in practice, have proven to be unreasonable as destroying competition. Such acts as these are declared unrea sonable, there by giving certainty and effectiveness to the law. Its examples of such prac- tices are that of refusing to supply customer, if he purchases also from the trusts competitor, or quoting prices in a particular district to kill a competitor as was so often prac' ticed by the Standard Oil.
 Third, to secure compliance with the Sherman law involves, now, a heavy burden because even if it proves that the defendants have not combined to restrain trade, the government has the further obligation of proving that that restraint is unreasonable. Util- izing the experience gained by years of an attempt to enforce the law, the LaFollette bill provides that, where the combination to restrain trade ex- ists the burden of proof that it is reasonable shall rest upon those who assert the fact.
 This provision is similar to the one introduced by the progressives in the law under which the railroads, seek ing an advance in rates, had the bur den of proof to show that the propos- ed increase is unreasonable.

EXHIBITION OF TRADE SCHOOL WORK ARRANGED

An exhibition and sale of work done in the dressmaking department of the State Trade School will be held We'd nesday and Thursday afternoons and Thursday evening of this week
 The general public are invited to attend both for the purpose of seeing the exhibit and thus becoming more closely acquainted with the nature of the work and also to purchase any garments which are on sale.
 The exhibit will consist of work in garment making, underclothes, shirt waists, dresses and children's clothes This will salso afford an opportunity for people to look up the work of the school and consult the teachers re- garding the advisability of registering students
 With the opening of the fall term it is found there are a few vacancies in the girls department, some of the former students having been placed with dressmakers.
 The course this year will be some what extended over that of last year, the girls having completed their first years training. This will enable the school to take in orders for, more ad- vanced dressmaking.
 The exhibit will give anybody in- terested and prospective customers the opportunity to inspect the kind of work done in the dressmaking depart ment

Especial from United Press.)

\SpSc1dl OLIleu IISSS.I
 Boston, Sept 19-Declaring that the President demonstrated by his trusts speech that he has ignored the experience of 20 years with the Sherman law and that on the other hand Senator LaFollette has taken advantage of his experience, Louis D.. Brandeis, today, gave the following statement exclusively to the United Press:
 (By Louis D. Brandeis.l
 A comparison of the President s speech on the antitrust law with the LaFollette bill places in striking con- trast the mere lawyer with the con- Structive statesman.
 The President and Senator LaFol- lette start with the same premises, namely-that the maintenance of com petition is desirable and that the de- cisions of the supreme court in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases are right. But the President, ignoring 20 years experience with the Sherman law, treats that act as final, while LaFollette utilizes his experience to perfect the act.
 the Sherman law. First, even when enforced as in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases, it, at most, prevents future violations of the law, for it leaves the violators in possession of the spells illegally gained and leaves the crushed competitors and the pub- lie which has been subjected to extor- tionate demands without remedy for the wrongs they have suffered.
 The LaFollette bill undertakes to remedy this grave defect by provid- ing that when in proceeding by the government trust has been declared illegal, those, who have suffered from
