535 less than collections from similar

passing the revenue from the corpora.

NO EVIDENCES
OF A CONSPIRACY
INVESTIGATION OF INCREASED
PRICES YIELDS NOTHING
IN NEW YO.k.
NO UNUSUAL RISE IS FOUND
Timeliness Of the Inquiry, However,
May Have Prevented a General
Advance in Prices.

New lork.-The federal inquiry in
10 the higher cost of food stuffs since
the war began in Europe has not de-
veloped that the increases were I'M
warranted, according to Roger B.
Wood, United States assistant dis
trict attorney. in charge of the in
yestigation.
No evidence of conspiracy to force
up the price of food has been dis
closed which would warrant criminal
action being instituted by the gov
ernment," Mr.. Wood said.
Generally speaking, there has been
no unusual rise in the price of food
stuffs. There have been increases in
few commodities, but some of these
have become dearer because of ma
tural causes.
II will admit that the timeliness of
our inquiry might have arrested a gen.
eral upward movement OF prices, due
TO the greed of wholesalers and re-
tailers..

FRENCH CHARGES
Of BARBAR|T|ES
THEY SAY THAT TIME FOR WAR
WITH GLOVES ON HAS
PASSED."

London.-A dispatch to the Reuter-
Telegram Company from Paris quotes
an official statement:
owing to strategical considerations
1t has been impossible to cooperate
earlier with the Belgian army in the
defense of their country. but the en-
gagements which We have undertaken
are only the more solemn and our CO.
operation will be still closer and will
be pursued with extreme energy.
In contrast with the considerate
treatment accorded German prison
ers, 1t has been established that the
enemy considerers as nonexistent both
international conventions and the most
ancient traditions of right and military
order. We are suffering a veritable in
vasion OF barbarians. We wish. in.
deed, to remain civilized, and will do
so till the end, despite this return to
savagery on the part of a nation which
has pretended to be an arbiter of
civilization. But it is impossible to
preserve toward our present adyersa-
ries the chivalrous generosity which
until now has been the rule between
soldiers.
Time for war with gloves on has
passed. The enemies with whom we
exchanged at Fontenoy courteous
words before opening fire have become
today our faithful and useful allies.
We have before us unbridled savages.
We owe to them only the strict obser
vance OF the rules of humanity and
the laws of war.
THE minister of war has issued
strict instructions that German pris.
oners. officers as well as soldiers. are
not to be treated with the considera-
ton and favor which should be re.
served for our own men. Life is as.
sured. naturally, but that is all we
owe them"

WAR WILL COST 70 BILLIONS
Estimate Made BY NikoIa Tesla Of
the Terrible Conflict.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-Taking issue with other
statisticians more moderate in their
estimates, Nikola Tesla, the famous
inventor of electrical contrivances,
says the total cost of the general war
now going on probably will not be
les than s7O,O00,O 0,OOO,O 900.
THE present war may easily in
volve 100000 combatants," said Mr..
Tesla. II have seen an estimate of a
total cost of $50,000,0O0 a day. This
is too low. The number of those dis
abled through wounds and disease was
recently placed at 100000. This, also.
is too moderate. 1t would be less than
two and one half per cent and it must
be remembered that in the most re-
cent great war preceding this, the
Balkan struggle, the casualties were
ten times greater, or 25 per cent.
Observe that 1t is reported Belgium
lost $500, 100000 in two weeks fight
ing while there were no large cities in
the path Of the Germans.
The difficulty with most statisti-
clans Of war losses is that they simply
consider the cost of military opera
tions. This is a small fraction OF the
war waste"

IN NORWAY WHEN
THE CRISIS AROSE
GERMAN KAISER SOJOURNING
THERE PEACEFULLY, NOT
EXPECTING WAR.

Christiania.-Whether the kaiser is
most to blame for the worldwide war
or not, 1t is fact that he was So
Journing peacefully in a Norwegian
ford when the crisis arose.
The story of how he received the
news that great events were impend-
ing was told here by one of the pilots
who was aboard the Hohenzollern. the
Prussian royal yacht, at the time.
The yacht was at Balholm, one one
OF the most picturesque of the long,
deep arms of the sea pentrating the
coast, Saturday, July "a
The day before, the kaiser had been
fishing for trout and had been very
successful. He had ordered the trout
cooked as part of banquet which he
was giving to 200 persons, mostly Nor.
wegian friends.
1t was arranged that the yacht and
the squadron of 40 war vessels which
had been maneuvering in the vicinity
should leave Sunday morning, July
20, at sunrise.
The kaiser shook hands with the
pilots as they came aboard about noon
Saturday. He was in excellent spirits
and said: I'VE who pretend to know
our way about the seas would really
be helpless without you"
At this moment an officer approach
ed. He had a wireless message in his
hand, which he presented to his
sovereign with deep obeisance.
The kaiser scanned the contents
and instantly his face became very
grave. He turned to a high naval Of
ficer and handed the message to him.
The officer read and then appeared as
il struck dumb.
The kaiser took the message from
the officer, wrote reply on the back,
and handed the slip to the messenger,
saying loudly to the officer: Every
thing is moving"
The kaiser hastened to his saloon
and his suite followed. Banquet was
forgotten. Orders were given for
leaving instantly. The kaiser began
series Of conferences with his Of
ficers."
What he meant by Everything is
moving" is a matter of conjecture.
He may have simply expressed sur
prise at the rate with which an un-
expected situation was confronting
him.
One the other hand, his words may
be taken to equal: Everything is
going along as arranged"

Claim Magnificent Victory

Washington.-An official German
dispatch reports a magnificent vic

Metz and the Vosges mountains. The
German embassy here received a re-
port on the dispatch from German Of
ficials in New York through whom it
had come. but who did not make pub.
lie any details. At the embassy it was
regarded as opening an important
phase as chief interest thus far has
been centered on operations in Bel
GUM, whereas this indicated extensive
operations south of Belgium.
