INDUSTRY OF GERMANY

Trade Disaster Has Come, De-
clares Author. in Bcr-
lin Paper.

CoPENHAGEN. Sept. DIR Emil Led
erer a well known German author writing
for the Berlin Vossische Zeitun0, says
that the removal of all men capable or
bearing arms has smashed industry 10
atoms All the links uniting the various
trades has been broken" He adds:
The crisis with regard to money and
credit, which occurred in the first in
stance. was accentuated by the necessity
OF financing the war by a single stroke
The attempts made to meet the crisis by
liquidating assets only made matters
worse
THE unfortunate thing Is that this
liquidation, which is customary In all
times OF crisis, does not in the present In
stance affect merely the small body Of
spectators, but expresses the fact that
German industry and its production are
on fictitious bases A complet" trans
formation Is necessary in order to cope
with the new conditions brought about by
the war.
AT present there is little sign OF this,

is an increase OF unemployment among

IMPOSES TAX ON FUTURES
Bill to Regulate Cotton Exchanges
Passes the House.

Washington, June 30. - Regulation
of cotton exchanges is provided for
in the Lever bill which passed the
house. The measure proposes to reg
ulate cotton exchanges through the
exercise of the taxing power The
senate having already passed like
bill, the whole proposition is now
thrown into a conference committee
representing the two houses. This
means that in all probability a law on
the subject shortly will be enacted.
The bill passed by the house, upon
which an agreement is expected to be
reached, is aimed at the so called cot
ton futures" The bill requires each
exchange to accept government estab.
lished standards in grade and levies a
tax of cent a pound on all contracts
for future sales Contracts that do
not comply with the government
standards are each to be taxed $500.
Advocates Of the bill say this bill is
prohibitive and will put an end to ali
such deals in the market.

OHIO TO VOTE ON

kntl-SaIOOn League 10 Submit II
to People This Fall
TRUSTEES VOTE TO FIGHTITO OUT

Decision Means the Entering Upon
Terrific Struggle For the Perpetual
ton or Total Abolition Of the Liquor
Traffic In This State-Amendmen
q Counter Proposal to That Of the
Wet Forces.
Columbus. July 2. - A majority II
trustees of the the Ohio Anti-Saloon
league, having voted to fight II out
this year, the executive committee Of
the league cast the die and announced
there would be submitted to the peo-
pie this fall a straight prohibition
amendment to the constitution as a
counter proposal to that OF the vets
to write into the constitution a clause
forbidding the legislature to pass a
state prohibitory law and to make in
valid the county option law
The decision, which means the en-
tering upon the biggest struggle for
the perpetuation or destruction Of the
liquor traffic the state has had for
many years was announced by Chair
man A. NJ. Courtenay of the executive
committee. Immediate way for the
contest was cleared by obtaining APP
proval Of the form Of the wet amend
ment by Secretary of State Graves
and Of the form of the dry amend
ment by Attorney General Hogan. Pc
tition blanks on which each of the con-
testants must obtain 100000 sigma
lures by Aug. 4 were sent out. In the
amendment the drys give the saloons
eighteen months in which to close
business should the people vote pro-
hibition.
Chairman Courtenay in his an
nouncement pointed out that the vets
had forced the contest this year by
demanding that the Ohio constitution
shall go further than that of any 9TH
er state by forbidding any advance in
temperance legislation. He said this
belied the claim of the vets that they
were satisfied with the license system
and that they would not inject the
liquor issue into important cam
paigns where men and other measures
are issues"
Concluding his announcement he
says
"The trustees of the Ohio Anti-Sa-
loon league, representing the various
religious denominations, as we'll as
afiliating organizations, accept the
challenge of the brewers and with
faith in the patriotism and high moral
purpose of the voters, submit to them
the proposal to end the persistent at
tempts of the liquor men to force their
destructive traffic upon the people by |
every saloon, brewery and |
in the state. In this crucial |
contest we invite the cooperation of |
every organization in favor of the |
abolition of the liquor traffic and in
woke the blessing of Almighty God"

South American Diplomats Bring

HUERTA ENJOYS DISAPPOINTED

American Delegates No More Pleased
Than the Mexioans at the Decision
Of the Mediators 10 Abandon Their
Efforts For Restoration Of Peace IN
the Southern Republe-statemen
Of Medators.
Niagara Falls, Ont, July 2. - The
three South American diplomats who
undertook TO seek a solution to the
Mexican problem brought their work
% an end without having found that
solution. The closing Of the media
tion conferences was marked by for
NAL luncheon given by the med.ators.
All the members of the American and
Mexican delegations were present
The formal statement by which Am
bassador Da Cana Of Brazil and Min
listers Naon and Suarez Of Argentina
and Chile virtually admitted that they
had abandoned hope, took the form OF
a speech made by the Brazilian envoy.
After declaring that he and his col
leagues had never disagreed, Senor Da
Cana announced that the interna-
tional conflict had been settled,
thanks to the mediators, and that 80
far we averted a war"
The optimism expressed by the am
bassador of Brazil and his two col
leagues does not appear, however, to
be felt by anyone else connected with
the mediation conference. The Ameri-
can delegates are no more pleased
than the Mexicans at the sudden de-
cision of the mediators to abandon
their efforts in behalf Of peace in
Mexico. It is known here that the
Washington government was quite
willing to keep its representatives
here until a solution had been found.
Although sorely disappointed over
the outcome Of their fruitless labors,
the Mexican delegates feel that they
and the government which they repre-
sent have left no stone untuTTed in
their effort to make peace.
No protocol has been signed as yet
indicating when the American forces
will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz.
This has been left for consideration
after the two Mexican factions agree |
on the new provisional government.
It is expected that this protocol along
with others already signed, win be
embodied later in a complete agree |
mept to be signed by the Constitu-
tionalists, the Huerta delegates and |
American representatives. This would |
finally clear up all points of interna-
tional difference and fix a date for the |
recognition of the new government.
