Rome, Aug. 2S-''The Montenegrins are

ing OF villages, and the wholesale killing
Of inhabitants.
The Servian government will enforce
the stfictest military measures possible

ments. In the event Of continuance of
barbarities. It Is added. 1t probably will
be found difficult to restrain the Servian
troops from making reprisals.
Two Montenegrin divisions came in con-
tact with the Austrians at o'clock yes
terday morning and in the fight the Aus
trians lost heavily. CThe censor cut out
the name Of the location of the fight).

the Austrians tried to take the Monte
negrin positions by storm, but were
driven back. During the hand to hand
fighting, the Montenegrins also sustained
heavy losses.

German casualties. containing the names

PANAMA CANAL RECEIPTS
ONLY S150.O00 THUS FAR

Panama, Aug 23.-During the first week
of business the Panama Canal earned
approximately $4,000, not including the
amount collected for barge service and
payments made in advance for ships on
their way to use the canal These
amounts would bring the total receipts
up to almost S150O0O
Thus far sixteen ships have used the
canal-fourteen American. one British,
and one Peruvian. Traffic, while con-
sidered good, was not up to the eXpecta-
tlons OF canal officers, who say that the
war is keeping many ships from using
the waterway.

CHICAGOPACERS
INVITE inquiry
Reply to Charge that They
Are Taking Advantage Of
War to Boost Prices.
READY TO COOPERATE
Arthur Meeker. Managing Director of
Armour & Co.. Challenges Any
Misstatements.

Arthur Meeker, managing director Of
Armour & Co., has given out a state
ment, part of which follows:
The current toor-prioe scare hai
brought forth much ignorant and reck-
less Misrepresentation.
Armour & Co. Is no longer willing to
be maligned and will challenge any mis-
statement or Misrepresentation which
seeks to hold Us up to public scorn as
malefactors.
Armour & Co. invites the fullest pos
sible inquiry into current food prices. II
is ready to cooperate in such an inquiry
with public officlals. governmental COM
mittees, or any authoritative agency
anywhere without reservation.
One Mig Factor.
Look at the one big fact Of the situa
tion. II is this:
When all Europe went war-mad. 4
little over two weeks ago. every news
paper in America proclaimed or pre-
dicted, in one way or another. a rise
in prices Of almost every article Of
commerce. That alone would cause. a.
It did. prices to rise, because both con
sumers and dealers everywhere wert
Immediately prompted TO anticipate thC
rise by quick and heavy buying. Food
prices were affected first, Of course. and
a scare" was on. Then the scare
was exploited and that still further stim.
ulated the buying impulse. Unprecedent-
ed demand was created and higher prices
grew with it,
Families which ordinarily buy sugar
and flour by five and ten pounds were
buying by the barrel. Retailers who
ordinarily buy in five and ten case lots
were buying, or trying to buy, in fifty
case lots. AS a consequence wholesale
and retail houses report an unheard of
volume Of business in the last week or
two-more volume in a week. in some
cases, than in the whole month OF July.
Under such conditions. and particu-
larly when the conditions are stimulated
by sensational exploitation of reckless
statements. no human power can con-
troll. regulate, or modify price tendencies
until the law OF supply and demand is
repealed -shs
Misrepresentation has bred more mis-
representation. There have been many
concrete examples Of It like the fol-
lowing:
e." "A Chicago newspaper OF Wednesday,
August 10. had Representative Ware, of
Pennsylvania, saying that while meats
in this country have jumped 81 per hun
dred since war began, Armour & Co.
contracted with England last week for
100000 pounds Of canned beef"

What Governor Hanna Is Like

In anticipation Of Governor Hanna's contemplated
visit 10 Glendale, which is scheduled for tomorrow,
the Glendale Leader says:
1.-The visit of Governor Hanna to Ellendale next
week is looked forward TO by most Of our citizens
with a great deal OF pleasure. The Leader editor
has been asked by not q few as to what sort of q
man the governor is, some Of them seeming to have
the idea they will see someone out of the ordinary
person. Governor Hanna is Q plain, everyday citizen,
just like any ordinary successful business man. liz
has q pleasing personality aud no one can help liking
what he has to say when he speaks. either. III public
Or private. There is nothing what people call stuck
up about Geovernor Hanna. He has grown up in
this state just like all the early settlers and he has
been very successful Us a business man. This sue
cess as a business man is what put him In Congress.
1t is what put him In the highest Office within the
gift Of THE people of the state, the govern0rship, and
during the first year of his incumbency he has given
to the state his experience as a successful business
man and the state has benefited thereby. The affairs
OF state were never In better shape than now, and
this is due in a large measure to the guiding influ.
ence of Governor Hanna. We bcspeak for him a
hearty greeting at Ellendale. T.
