Land Company which it is alleged
sold Florida everglades, frog ponds and

1t Is Of small moment whether Pres

talk from the delegation of negroes VINO
came to protest against race segrega-

of great moment that Wilson has given
his endorsement to the Jim Crow

white and black employees OF the gov

with no discrimination. President VIII

foot down on the exhibition Of preju-

Segregation, once established, means

HEALTHY BUT SUBJECTED 10 ANNOYANCE

In Iowa and the Quarantined states
the uncertainty of the livestock stu
alton while not directly affecting bust
ness in a serious way is the cause OF
conslderable embarrassment because of
the embargo and doubt as 10 how long
it will be maintained. However, the
feeling is that it will not be continued
longer than is necessary to locate and
segregate the affected districts and
that the cattle movement eastward
from unaffected districts will soon be-
gin again.
Business sentiment in general &C.
coroing to the reports of :he CONNER
cial agencies is expanding. Market
machinery which has been idle thru
the breakdown under the strain of in
ternational crisis is being started up
again Also the immense increase in
exports is having a reviving effect
with prospects of steady increase.
Money is becoming distinctly easier;
and the reduction in the amount of
legal reserve as a result of the oper-
alton of the federal reserve bank sys-
tenn will, in New York alone, release
about 100000 900 gold. Clearing house
certificates and emergency currency
are being rapidly retired. Further re-
strictions are removed in stock trad
ing, and curb quotations are now pub
lished all of which suggests the early
resumption OF business on the exchange
itself. AS to trade conditions. the stu
alton is divided into two parts. On one
hand, in all departments where there is
a foreign war demand for foodstuffs
and war supplies, there is large activ-
ty. On the other hand, in all depart
ments depending solely on domestic
demand there is greater or less curtail-
ment, the result of the checking of en-
terprise on account of the doubts pro-
duced by war, and in the steel industry
especially of the depleted purchasing
ability of therailroads.
Generally an optimistic spirit pre-
walls. With the great crops and the
illimitable foreign demand it could not
be otherwise in the middle west The
opening of the cotton exchange Is a
symptom of a better condition due in
the south and cotton mills are working
on large foreign orders. I, seems to be
a question OF adjustment and of wait
ing patiently for adjustment The ma
terial is in the country and the demand
abroad large enough 20 take all we can
furnish. When that market is again
actually open the prediction is for un-
precedented activity in America
Iowa and the middle west are in good
shape. They are suffering from the ac-
cidents of business. accidents and an
noyances. The crops are good, prices
good. Such depression as exists is IL
logical and the result of what may be
termed accidental conditions such as
the tightening Of money under the dis
organized conditions that followed tina
European cataclysm and the unfort-
innate outbreak of dangerous livestock
disease that came just At the begin
ming Of the marketing period. Iowa
business is healthy. 1t is simply suf-
fering from annoyances.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

! The MuScatine Journal has already
suggested the name of Senator Chase
of this city. as the republican candi-
date for governor in 1916 notes the
Webster City Freeman Tribune, which
goes on to explain that "fhe senator
no doubt, appreciates the honor, but is
is understood by his friends here that
he Is going to be candidate for con-
greSs two years hence to succeed the
Hon. Frank P. Woods. Good material
for the governorship is plentiful. but
there seems to be a deart1 of 1t for
members of congress from this dis
/ trict."
! Another argument has been added
TO the already long list of arsument in
favor Of recall of judges and judicial
decisions by the Kansas supreme
courts releasing prisoner from the
penitentiary upon the ground he had
been convicted of robbery, while in
reality he had been guilty of only
burglary gays the Sioux City Trib-
une.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says
1t is all right for republicans in Iowa
| to aspire TO the office of governor two
years hence. But voters should be very
chary about tying themselves up to any
candidacy so early in the game. A
grave responsibility coufronts Iowa
voters on this line right now. II three

SAYS TEUTON OR
SLAV WILL RULE
Prof. Richard Deplores
Anti-German Press
Attitude Here.

A resolution condemning the anti
Germanic attitude of some newspapers
in this country was passed by unani-
nous vote of delegates representing
115 German societies, having a mem
bership of 10000, at Msennerchor Hall
last night.
The resolution, which was introduced
by its author, Professor Ernst Richard,
OF Columbia University, will be sub
mitted to the New York State German
Societies when they meet Monday at
Utica, and later will be offeISd to the
National German Alliance, with its en-
rolled membership Of 100000.
Professor Richard said he did not
want to think that malicious prejudice
against Germany was at the bottom OF
the reports of the present crisis IN
Europe which appeared in some Amcrl-
can dailies. He was inclined to think
that it was rather due to ignorance OK
actual conditions.
"Such statements as that Austria is
using the assassination OF the success
sor to the throne as a pretence 20 sat
isfy it's desire for conquest, or that
Germany has instigated Austria in this
war, are unwarranted," said Professor
Richard.
"If we do have a European war, Rus
STA and not Germany will be its father.
Germany is for the peace of Europe.
"The big question behind the whole
trouble is, will the Slav and the Cos
sack rule Europe or will the Teutonic
ideals of civilization, culture and dem
ocracy prevail? Germany stands not
only for itself and Austria in this
question, but it stands for England,
for the Dutch, for Norway, Sweden and
for the Danes, and the decisive battle
il battle there will be, will be TO pre-
serve Europe from Slav and Cossack
rule"
Alphonse G. Koeible. president of the
United German Societies, who acted as
chairman, is former newspaper man.
He told his hearers that European
news was not colored by the Ameri-
can press.
at is well-known fact" he said,
"that English-speaking newspapers in
this country get their European news
through London, and London colors the
news so as to make it favorable TO
England and unfavorable to Germany.
at would be we'll for Americans to
bear in mind that during the Civil War
England was our enemy, and that Ger
man bankers, through loan OF sl2O,-
100000 to this country in the early SIX
ties, helped TO save the Union"

SAYS SUEZ CANAL
IS GOAL OF WAR
Servian Prince Tells His
Hearers Germany COvets
Gateway to Orient.

The determination of Germany and
Austria TO open for themselves a door
way to the great markets of India and
China and Emperor Franz Josef's pas
sion for power were named as the i'm
pelling causes Of the wer in Europe by
Prince Lazarovich Hrebelianovich OF
Servia in a lecture delivered at New
York University yesterday. Prince
Hrebelianovich was an officer in the
Austrian army when that country and
Servis were on better terms, but his
sympathies are all with Servs.
There are two great strategic
points in the present day world of
commerce and industry" said Prince
Hrebelianovich. "They are the Suez
Canal and the Panama Canal, each
leading from one of the two great pro-
ducing territories of the world into the
common market of Asia.
"To gain control of the Suez Canal
and the land routes through Asia
Minor will be the greatest issue of the
war. And the plateau of Servia is the
key to these routes. The master of the
Servisn plateau is master of the Bal
kan peninsula, and hence of the door
way to Asia, provided he has the ma
terial means to enforce that mastery.
"For many years Germany has COW
eted that open door; but always Russia
has stood firmly in the way. Now Ger
many has its opportunity and will
make the most Of it. II is this same
jealousy of the powers in regard to
the gateway of Asia that has kept Tur-
key from destruction.
Several years ago, in Berlin, high
official of the German government said
to me: 'Austria's vocation is to open
the door for Germany TO the East
Austria shall fulfil that vocation with
out hindrance from Russia.
England has the same interest as
Russia in wishing to keep Germany
and Austria cut off from direct COM
munication with the Orient; hence her
promised participation in the struggle.
France looks at Alsace-Lorraine and
starts her troops moving toward the
German frontier. And Italy will play
game of watchful waiting TO see how
many chestnuts she can pull out of
the fire without getting her fingers
burned too badly.
"All of these causes go back great
deal further than the ASSASSINATION at
Sarajevo, which wasn't really a cause
at all, but an excuse.
"Then there are the personal causes
Emperor Franz Josef is one and Kaiser
Wilhelm is the other. For several
years the Kaiser has been practically
debating to Russia and Eng land be-
cause they feared to resist him. Now
his bluff has been called.
Austria is fighting TO dominate
nation which is a menace to the con-
tinusnce of her conditions of govern
ment."

EASIER REGISTRY FOR
FOREIGN SHIPS URGED
European War Crisis DiscIoses
Danger of Paralysis of
Ocean Commerce.
From Tho Tribune BurcauI

Washington, July 3i.-Legislstion
providing for the American registration
Of foreign vessels TO increase the Amer
lean merchant marine and prevent a
paralysis OF international commerce in
the event Of a general European war
will doubtless be urged By the Presi-
dent as a result Of a series Of con
ferences to-day.
The Secretary Of Commerce early to
day called the attention OF the Presi-
dent to the fact that a serious situation
was threatened because Of the lack Of
a law permitting the registry Of foreiga
vessels. President Wilson promptly
summoned Representative Underwood
and Senator Kern, Democratic Leaders
of the House and Senate, respectively,
and the subject was thoroughly dis
cussed. IL was pointed out by Secretary
Redfield thai a blockade would tie Up
practically all vessels not Tying ths
American flag, and that as result
American exporters and importers
would be hampered in making or re-
ceiving shipments.
No Cabinet meeting was held because
of the conference to discuss the steam
ship situation. The possibilities on
forming 2 nucleus for powerful Amer
can merchant marine appealed 70 the
administration, and IL is expected that
immediate action toward enaeting reg
islation will be taken.
At the present time the restrictions
governing the registration OF vessels
in the United States are extremely
rigid. They provide that vessels mrst
be owned by citizens OF the Unite
States or corporations organized ahd
chartered under the laws of the Unitec
States, or of any of the states, and that
the officers and a certain proportion pr
the seamen shall be citizens OF tue
United States. No foreign buit YES
sells more than five years old may DC
admitted TO American registry.
To encourage the purchase OF VesSeii
for the commerce of the United States
il Is probable that one or all OF these
restrictions will be modified. Senate,
Burton suggested to-day that II would
be advisable to remove the Limitations
recurring that foreign built vessels
shall be not moro than five years old.
The requirements concerning the ma
tionality of officers and crews probs-
bly, also will be relaxed TO some ex-
tent. If this is done il is thought pos
sible that the owners of tramp steari,
crs or vessels which are not operated
under subsidy and under government
contract will find the opportunities OF
American trade sufficiently attractive
to take out American registry.
The matter has not been considered
to any extent by the committees Of
Congress, but if the merchant marine
upon which the United States now re-
lies should be absorbed by require-
ments of war an effort will be made TO
pass legislation at this session of Con.
gress to relieve the United States ron
the embarrassment in which II would
find itself.

READY FOR EUR0PE'S WAR
Underwood Holds Members OF
House in Washington.
fFrom Tho tribune bureau.

Washington, July 3i.-The European
war crisis to-day suddenly terminated
the plans Of House members for "con-
structive recess" following the passage
of the general dam bill, which is e%-
pected tomorrow. Anticipating the pas
sage of two emergency measures TO
meet conditions incident to the war in
Europe, Mr.. Underwood, the majority
leader, passed the word among House
members that their presence probably
would be required until further notice,
and vacation hopes again went gllm-
mering.
Following the White House confer
ence in which Mr.. Underwood and Mr..
Adamson participated, House leaders
expect the early consideration Of legis-
laton providing for special American
registration of foreign vessels and the
upbuilding of at least temporary mer-
chant marine. Mr.. Underwood, whose
hobby is merchant marine, is entirely
in sympathy with any plan of the adj
minstration for legislation Of this sort,
although he said to-day that the plans
were in only formative state.
