PREDICTS YELLOW PERIL
FOR COMMERCIAL WORLD
Gov. Pothier of Rhode Island Sees
Danger in Recent Tariff
Legislation.

PROVIDENCE, r. /. November It.
The recent tariff legislation has opened
the way for a commercial yellow peril,
declared Gov. Pothier today in a speech
before the New England Textile Club.
THE new tariff. said the governor,
will result in the lowering of wages of
textile mill operatives and will deprive
American manufacturers of their home
market.
THAT there may be a yellow peril
commercially no thoughtful man VIII
deny said he. THE races of the orient
are progressing steadily, and It Is only a
question of time when they will enter the
markets of the world with products which
will come into competition with those of
advanced nations. We shall have to pro-
tect our labor and the products of our
labor against the extremely low wages
of the orient if those nations enter the
industrial field.
IF it is considered proper to open our
American markets to the Europeans by
means of a low tariff containing no re-
ciprocai clause. how can we close them
to the Asiatic?''

CALLS IT PAGAN CUSTOM.
Catholic Minister Argues Against
Flowers at Funerals

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, November 10
Rev. Edward ]. Wunder, pastor of ST.
Patricks Catholic Church here, in a ser
mon argued against the use of flowers
at funerals. He said:
This church packed full of lilies will
not do the soul one iota of good. The
giving OF flowers at the time of death
is pagan custom There are bishops
who will not countenance flowers in the
church at masses for the dead. It is
simply a means of trying to hide the
thought of death.
Continuing. Rev. Father Wunder re-
marked that the flowers on the bier
We're often the cause of animosity among
the living He counseled the substitute
of prayer for flowers, adding that 1t was
pleasing to the priest at requiem mass
TO note the entire absence of flowers. be-
lieving the omission displayed the pres
euce of true Christianity.

The official placard containing the first
instructions given the public concerning
the parcel post, which were posted in the
Hobbies of post offices and in other public
places, have lost their efficacy. Postmas-
ter General Burleson has ordered them re-
moved because of changes made in the
service since they were printed and of
changes that will probably become effec-
tive in the near future.
The Postmaster General has also or
dered 5000 parcel post scales and re-
quested their early delivery. The de-
partment scales We're originally provided
with a weight limit of twenty-five pounds,
but the weight limit for parcels has now
been extended to 100 pounds, making new
scales necessary.
