To ailments of age his death is at

Sauer was born in Deckenheim, Ger
many, March 10, 1929. He resided

exports and bringing in the necessary
imports are cut off. In this crisis II is
to be sincerely hoped that the bill
now being passed by the United States
congress may be of great assistance in
relieving the situation. That, however,
can only point out the way. There
must follow the placing upon the high
seas to operate between the United
States and the principal South Amer
lean ports feet of vessels flying the
American flag. and this can only be
done by United States companies TAX
and carrying out the provisions of this
bill.
National Loans.
Just as war was declared several
of the principal countries of South
America were negotiating loans in the
European financial capitals. These
loans are inspired by the pressure of
local conditions and are absolutely
necessary for the welfare of countries
concerned. For the present and prob
ably for a acng period 1t will be i'm
possible to float such loans in Europe.
Under the circumstances these gov
ernments will naturally turn to the
banking and financial interests of the
United States which heretofore have
seldom subscribed for South American
loans or shown much interest in them.
By endeavoring to help out these gov
ernments in this crisis, they can not
fail to perform not only a great SER
vice 10 such governments, but place
themselves i'll a favorable position to
obtain other loans in the future and
favorable consideration from the gov
ernments concerned.
In conclusion, it is gratifying TO
state that the department of commerce
of the United States with commend
able energy has already started an or
ganization to relieve this situation, but
far-reaching results can only be &C
complished by the direct action and
interest of the entire financial and
commercial interests of the United
States; and if the Pan American Union
can give any information which Will
be helpful 10 those who may be inter
ested, it will be glad to supply all this
data within its power

NEWSPAPER FOR ARMY
is ORDERED IN FRANCE

Paris, Aug. 15.-An official cOmmun-
ication issued yesterday says that
since the beginning of the war the
German people have been systemati-
cally deceived by false news circulat-
ed by a large German agency, with
the object of making Germans believe
their troops had gained great advant-
ages. 1t adds that there has been an
absolute suppression of all news I'M
favorable to the Germans.
The French government, it was
stated, has decided to issue a daily
news bulletin for distribution among
the French troops. This will be COM
posed of reports of field operations and
of important events in France, the OBJ
ject being to create a strong link be-
tween the French soldiers in the field
and their relatives.
The decision to issue this bulletin
was reached as a result of correspond
ence between Adolphe Messimy,
French soldiers in the field and their
relatives.
NJ. Mess-my writes:
Our armies cover a front of more
than $50 miles from the North Sea to
Switzerland Among the several mil
lions of men each officer and each sol
der is lost. He is given over to the
Impressions of the moment and of the
place where he is, and is without news
of the others and without news OF the
war.
81 believe it to be necessary to send
to all those fighting under these con-
ditions the comfort of a daily news
paper. l would have the soldiers con-
stantly measure the Importance of
their individual effort in the national
task, and by this though create among
them a generous emulation.
81 wish the soldiers to learn with
what care the nation surrounds the
parents. the wives and the children
they have left behind them, while they
consecrate themselves to their great
task, a task glorious because their
sacrifices are the price of the indie
pendence of our country and the
grandeur of France in the triumph of
right and liberty"

SALARIES NOW
MAIN QUESTION
Magnates Seem Doomed to dig
up'I kaIe and Keep Quiet

New York, June 13.-With three big
leagues competing for the best talent,
and one OF these leagues outside of or
ganiZed baseball the salary question
has become about the most important
issue in the national pastimc
The efforts of the Federal league to
sign the star payers are at the root of
the high salary problem. The Feds
have given evidence of possessing n
large bank roll and they seem willing
to slip the rubber band whenever the
service of an lSK pastimer are at stake.
This readiness on the part of the
Federal league moguls to give up large
gobs of perfectly good money is likely
to be the magnet that viii attract
many National and American league
players next year, particularly those
players who failed to get in on the big
money this season.
AS both the National ana American
leagues have been forced to boost sal
aries to figures never dreamed of a
dozen years ago, while the attendance
figures so far this season have been
anything but startling. IT Is difficult TO
figure out how the two older organiZa-
tions can pay their players more mon
ey and continue to run their baseball
plants at a profit Nevertheless. the
magnates seem tagged Co stand the
rifle for a slant at the game from
any angle shows that the player is in
a position to demand turkey, gravy
and all the trimmings.
