st. Paul, Aug. 12.-The Internatton-
al Harvester company is declared to
be a monopoly in restraint Of inter
state and foreign trade. and was or
dered dissolved by a majority decis-
sion filed here by Judges Smith and
Hook in the United States court.
Judge Walter H.. sanborn, dissented.
Unless the corporation submits a
plan for dissolution within ninety
days. the court will entertain appli-
cation for q receiver. Judge Hook
demurring, said:
"The International Harvester COM
pany is not the result Of the normal
growth or the fair enterprise Of an
individual, partnership or a corpor-
alton. On the contrary. 1t was cre-
ated by combining fve great compet-
ing companies which controlled more
than 80 per cent Of the trade In the
necessary farm implements and It still
maintains a substantial dominance.
That is the controlling fact: all else
IA detail. 1t may be. as is said, that
there is growing recognition of the
need of the great concentrated re-
sources for trade commerce. even
though secured by. combination of in-
dependent, competing concerns. But
that is not the Sherman act. And Z
statute must be taken by the courts
as a true estimate Of the preponder-
ance Of public opinion which calls
for Legislative expression. It ID mot

or whether 1t has since changed.

or whether 1t has since changed.
ut is but just, however. to say and
to make 1t plain, that in the main the
business conduct of the company to-
wards its competitors and the pub
lie has been honorable, clean and
fair. Some petty dishonesties were
tracked in at the start, mostly by su-
bordinates who had been in the serv-
ice Of the old companies. but they
were soon gotten rid Of. In this con-
nection 1t should also be said that
specific charges of misconduct were
made in the governments petition
which found no warrant whatever in
the proof. They were Of such a char
'acter and there was SO much OF them,
apparently without foundation that
the case is exceptional in that char
acter."
Judge Sanborn dissenting, says with
profound respect for the judgment Of
his court associates, he finds himself
forced to disagree with them in this
opinion, and in part says:
First, because 1t seems to me to
give insufficient consideration to the
trade conduct Of the defendants at
the time this suit was commenced In
April, 1919. and for seven years be-
fore that date, and then were not

Reason to Think German
Vessels Have Taken Re
fuge in Dardanelles.

London, Aug. 12.-The admiralty
and war Office information bureau
gave out the following last night:
There is good reason to believe
that the German cruisers, Breslau and
Goeben, have taken refuge In the
Dardanelles and will be dealt with ac-
cording to International usage.
According to international customs
in time of war, II the Goeben and
Breslau have taken refuge in the Dar-
danelles. they will be compelled to
coal within twenty-four hours and
put to sea or else be interned until
the end Of the war. These two cruis-
ers were reported from Athens as
rounding the southern extremity OF
the Morea, Greece. at full speed yes
terday morning. In what direction
they were headed was not stated.
There is good reason to believe
that the mass Of German troops on the
western German frontier are distrib-

At one of the forts the German

London, Aug. 12.-Dispatches and
advices received from Belgium are
unanimous in describing the repulse
Of the Germans in their attack upon
Liege on Friday as carnage. The cor
respondent Of the Times in letter
mailed from Brussels. tells what he
learned through personal interviews
with German prisoners and wounded
men and officers on both sides, who
have been brought to Brussels. He
says that when the German army
first advanced upon Liege the officers
believed that the sole task before
them was of pouring in continuous
gian opposition. But with the men
in the ranks the situation was other
wise. The German soldiers. he says,
were gloomy and bewildered. They
had no wish to be at the front and
scarcely realized VIII ythey were there.
The yalready had heard terrible tales
Of multitudes Of Cossacks. who were
prepared to enter Germany and de-
YOUR It, and they were frightened at
the prospect of war.
Marched Straight to Death.
Incredible as 1t may seem," writes
the Times correspondent, these un-
happy Germans are marched straight
to death almost shoulder to shoulder
The Napoleonic tactics Of the sudden
appliovation of overwhelming masses
Of men to achieve desired victory or
reach q certain objective point seem
to have inspired the German generals.
Apparently they hoped to satisfy the
greed Of guns in the forts by holo-
caust Of Victims"
The result Of this policy. he says,
was a terrific slaughter among the
closely concentrated ranks Of the Ger
mans. According to some accounts
the men were actually driven for-
ward like sheep by their officers. Ter
ror fought against discipline.
