REEO SCORES
ANTITRUST BILL
IN PRESENT FORM

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Reed opened his attack on the Clay
ton antitrust bill conference report
in the senate today, declaring that IL
passed in its present form 1t should
be entitled AN act to apologize for
unlawful restrain and monopolies. +"
He assailed the elimination of spe-
cifc criminal penalties for unlawful
price discrimination and exclusive
and the detention of his amendment
authorizing courts to sell property of
convicted corporations.
"If the allies" declared Reed, had
attempted to stop the Germans with
dough bullets the soldiers of the kai-
ser would have taken Paris in "a
hours. So far as its antitrust fea-
lures are concerned, this is dough
bullet bill instead of the Clayton
bill. 1t should be referred to as the
'Conferes Capitulation.' 1t is a sort
of Hague propaganda promulgated
under a white flag. To the soothing
melody of peace on earth, good men
toward the trust Rockefeller like
another Richard. can declare, Now
is the winter of our discomfort made
glorious summer. by these con-
feres.

FIRE SWEEPS THRU
LARGE OIL AREA

New York, Sept. 2S.-An area ap-
proximately II acres in extent sur
rounding Aguia. one of the largest
oil wells in the world, located in
the Tampico district. Mexico. is a
fass of smoke and flames, according
to officers of the steamship Esper-
anza, which reached here today
from Mexican ports. The well was
capped down shortly after the capt
ure OF Tampico by the constitution
alists and several months ago 1t was
noticed that the subterranean pres
sure was causing the oil to seep up
along the well. This seepa5e
catching fire from lightning or some
other cause spread until now the
glare by night and the smoke by day
can be seen for nearly 100 miles.
Officers of the Esperanza says that
the light at night resembles the
glare from great city and during
the day the smoke clouds ook ike
an approaching storm. Several
weeks ago field artillery was
brought up from Tampico and an
effort made to shoot the cap off the
we'll, in the hope that the pressure
would be relieved but the effort
was unsuccessful.

GERMANY FIXED
FOR LONG WAR

Berlin (via London). Sept. 2S.-
The response of the German public
to the efforts of the government to
raise war fund OF five billion
marks t$1 ,20O,000.0OOD has. 1t is
asserted here. removed all anxiety
the nation may have had regarding
its ability to meet the financial OBJ
legations due to the war.
Originally the reicnstag allowed
u war credit of five billion marks in
addition to the war treasure and of
this amount 100000 marks has
been subscribed by the public with
out straining seriously the finan-
cial resources of the empire.
According to military authorities
the war is costing Germany about
20 100000 marks ($5,OOO,000D a
day inclusive of the money spent on
behalf of those who have been de-
prived of their bread winners the
means of the government at the be-
ginning of the war, not counting the
permanent war treasure but fnclud-
ing the reserve funds of the Reich
stag Bank amounted to about 500
million marks ($125, 900, O,00O). which
in the meantime, however, has been
considerably increased through the
issue of notes. 1t is thought, there
fore, that the money available for the
purposes of the campaign can be in
creased If necessary by several bill
lion marks.
The amount which the government
could borrow from the Reiches Bank
is unknown at the present time,
but it is estimated at about three
billion marks. making total of
about eight billion marks $1,000
OOO. .O0O). At the rate of 90 mil
lion marks a day this sum would
permit Germany to carry on the war
for over year. 1t is claimed here
that these estimates concerning
Germany's field of resources are low
rather than high.
