TO HELP FOREIGN TRADE.
President Declares Export Shippers
Will Be Protected

Washington, Oct. 14.-In one of the
most important utterances since the
beginning of the European war Pres
ident Wilson gave a tremendous i'm
petus to American foreign trade. and
incidentally to the expansion of the
American Merchant marine
The president said that the United
States is prepared to protect to the
utmost the rights of shippers OF Amer
lean exports when such goods are be.
ing transported in vessels flying neu.
trail flags. This is an assurance of
protection irom confiscation by bel
ligerents of the following classes of
exports:
Grain. meat, and other food and all
other conditional contrabands of war
consigned to any destination in neu-
trail countries or to belligerent coun-
tries for the consumption by non
combatants only.
Arms, mules, horses, and other alb
solute contraband of war consigned
to neutral countries and not for the
use of the present belligerents.
If the policy announced by the pres.
ident is carried out the United States
will insist that justice be done the
shippers of American goods in neu'
trail vessels which may be seized by
a belligerent.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE federal
reserve board announced its approval
in principle of the plan for $780,
100000 loan fund to take care of the
surplus cotton crop.
Governor Hamlin of the board in a
letter t Festus j. Wade OF St Louis

that the just administration of such
a fund would benefit those interested
and the rest of the nation as well.

that the banks and merchants would
subscribe.
There is no impeachment to the ship
ment of cotton from the United States

Roosevelt Helps Democratic Party.

There is no doubt that the Demo
Gratis have taken on renewed hope in
all of the states in which Roosevelt has
spoken. Both Republicans and Pro-
gressives would have united in Ne
braska TO take one final smash at
Bryan, but Roosevelt, who is so much
opposed to bossism, ordered his fol-
lowers not to make the combination.
In Springfield. H., Colonel Roosevelt
dined with Governor Dunno, much to
the JOY of the Progressives. His large
audiences in Illinois have infused en-
thusiasm into his party, and thus in
creased the chances of Democratic
success.

Treasury Must Be Ready

These are parlous times the world
over. We are not at war with guns in
our hands with any power, but are en-
barrassed by conditions which the
fighting powers have produced: and
those conditions must be met as they
affect US. The Democratic revision of
the tariff is failure as a revenue
producer. Democratic appropriations
are record-breakers. Let the respon-
sibtlity be fixed, but let the treasury
be put in shape for any emergency
that may arise.

Democratic Economy"

Democratic economy is, in fact. a
fearful and wonderful thing We are
getting a remarkable taste of it, The
Republicans have a good fighting is
sue here and the appeal to the past
is hopeless defense for their adver-
saries What voters will consider is
how did the Democrats meet their
own problems; how. especially after
their years of "denouncing" Republi-
can "extravaganee" did they meet the
challenge to economize? Their record
on the pork barrel is a sad answer to
these interrogstories.

REIGN OF TERROR IN

Adherents OF Zzpata Attack Suburbs

Battle Zone.

Mexico City. Oct 14-An attack
Saturday night on San Angel. Xochi-
mileo, and Jther suburbs OF Mexico
City by adherents of Emilian Zs1ata
caused reign of terror In the capital
The suspense was relieved when il
was officially announced that Zapatas
followers had agreed to cease all fight
ing until the termination of the peace
conference between the northern and
southern constitutionalist generals at
Aguas Calientes. The troubles in the
suburbs were satisfactorily adjusted,
The invaders entered San Angel at
seven O'Clock Saturday night. and
heavy firing was begun. The tele-
phone operators were compelled to
flee from the exchange, making com
munication between the suburbs and
the city proper difficult.
The government Immediately i'm
pressed a number of the striking
street car motormen into service and
rushed 1900 men with artillery to San
Angel to REINFORCE the garrison there
Fighting in the streets between the
invaders and the defenders followed
Xochimileo was surrounded by the
Zapata men, and re-enforcements also
were rushed to that place on tram
cars which were impressed into serv-
ice.
The authorities of Mexico City ex-
pressed fear of a general attack. and
families living in Coyoacan and Mix
coac began moving into the city.
The feeling of intense suspense in
the capital. however, was allayed
when the official statement gave as
surances that Mexico City would not
be attacked

Chicago, Oct. 15.--National apple
day is to be observed on October 20

this year is the greatest since 1896
The European war has so affected the
foreign trade that the apple growers
are compelled to make extraordinary
efforts to cultivate the domestic mar
ket in order to dispose of their i'm

the southern states with regard to
cotton the apple growers have adopt
