h'REYNOLDS IS
OPPOSED FOR
SUPREME BENCH
Democratic Leaders Assert,
However, That He Will BE
Confirmed for Seat
SENATORS OPENLY
ANNOUNCE OPPOSITION
Thomas w. Gregory Will Sue
coed in Attorney General
ship c.r.e ,...... .

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Strong,
but probably futile opposition doomed
up today In the senate to the pro-
posed nomination by President Will
son OF Atty.-Gen. James c. McReyn-
olds to the supreme court vacancy
caused by the death OF the late JUS
tice Horace II. Lurton. Several SEN
ators let II be known that they would
vigorously oppose McReynolds. Little
trouble, however, was anticipated by
Democratic leaders In insuring his
confirmation. ~ .aas..
That McIteynolds was to be chosen
has been known for months. The
New Haven railroad dissolution was
the only hitch" He desired to clean
that matter up before retiring from
the department Of justice. With the
amicable court settlement assured,
McReynolds now feels free to accept
the promotion to the high court,
Thomas w. Gregory, of. Austin, Tex
a., the special assistant OF the attor-
ney-general, who Is slated to succeed
McReynolds, il now In charge Of the
New Haven case. Gregory Is So
years Of age, native of Mississippi
and has been prominently identified
with Texas bar activities. He Is said
to have the backing of Col. e. Nj.
House, OF Texas, reputed political
mentor OF the president.
The nomination OF McReynolds 10
expected to 60 to the senate today
or tomorrow but he will probably not
qualify and take his seat until the
court reconvenes Oct IL.
Contrary to general belief. McReyn-
olds will not be the youngest men,
Der Of the court. He IL 81, as Is JUS
tice Hughes, but Is two months older
than Hughes.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 19.-De-
spite denials from the war Of.
dee, the reports that the Liege
forts have at last fallen, persist.
Circumstantial accounts of their
being badly battered by the
huge German siege guns that
eventually were placed in posi-
ton are related. These ac-
counts agree that after the big
Intensive weapons were mounted
they speedily made the chain of
forts untenable. In accordance
with instructions the Belgian
major in command then explod-
ed charges previously placed in
position and demolished the de-
lenses, the Belgians effecting a
retreat in safety. The war Of
nee, however, in discussing the
matter says:
"At last accounts the Liege
forts were still holding out,
Communications interrupted"

U. s. INSPECTION OF
GRAIN IS DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Federal
inspection OF grain, so crushingly de-
feated by the senate last winter, may
come as the result OF the present
agitation by the cotton states sena-
tors and representatives for federal
licensing and inspection of cotton
warehouses. This was made evident
today when the proposal OF Senator
McCumber, leader OF the grain inspec-N
ton advocates. that the same benefits
should be extended to grain as to cot.
ton, was acceded TO by Senator Hoke
Smith, OF Georgia, on the part OF the
cotton senators.
smith gave notice that he would
call up the bill for early passage and
that while no section had been in.
cluded relating to grain. he and his
friends would rather welcome such
an amendment az making the bill
more nationwide in its aspect.

of the surrounding land
grabbing powers.
The geographical situation of the
empire is the most unfortunate of any
European country. The empire fs
hemmed in on all sides. She would
have been crushed long ago by the
pressure from outside her borders had
she not maintained such an efficient
military organization"
Germany, Mr.. Ginzberg says, was
not expecting the present conflict any
more than the other powers involved,
When | made by last visit over
here in April" he said. there was no
thought OF war. A conclusive proof
OF that is the fact that when / came
home there were six young German
army officers on board who were com.
ing TO this country on leave OF alb.
sence. They could never have got on
IL there had been the slightest pros
pect of war.
While In Germany on that trip,
was In Kief during the annual nava.
freviews there.7z0 One of the new BRITISH
warships happened to be in the harbol
at the time. 1t was decorated In Ger
man and British flags and the German
and British officers and enlisted mer
were fraternizing on the very best OF
terms. This war came like thunder
clap on Europe. True, there has Ions
been jealousy and rivalry between the
different countries and q conflict was
looked for sooner or later, but to say
that II was deliberately planner or pro-
voked at this time Is foolish.
There Is no reason for commercial
jealousy OF Germany on the part OF
Great Britain. The increasing COM
mercial prosperity OF Germany il not
matter of politics or strength OF
arms. II Is the natural expansion OF a
thriving people. With $4,000, 900 of
people shut up In a territory no larger
than Texas and growing In numbers
all the time. something has 70 furnish
an outlet for their growth.
The need OF Germany for an i'm.
perfalistic, colonizing policy IN UNIQUE
among the nations OF Europe shut ON
from such natural course OF expan.
sion by the jealousy of other powers
the Germans have devoted their ener.
giles largely TO scientific and Industrial
problems at home and TO increasing
their commerce abroad. The German
has not shown himself narrow or big.
oted 1 nhis efforts to meet the condi.
lions before him., His greatest strength
has been his adaptability. If he want.
ed to do business In Brazil, he went TO
Brazil and learned the methods OF
doing business there so that he could
treat with his customers IN their own
way He is a lingu!st by nature and
he has made good use OF that trait
everywhere. Nearly every German can
speak German. This versatile adapt.
ability has ben one OF the greatest fac.
tors In the tremendous success OF the
German commercially.
