Berlin, Aug. 24-The Overseas

George Bernhard one of Germany

says the recent statement by DR.. Karl
Helfferich, the German minister OF
finance that the enemies of the con

easily put into effect than is believed
by many pessimists. Germany, ne

If these lands are returned to their
former owners they must pay the
price fixed by the victors, the writer
declares.

The refined financial technique OF
modern times, he argues, would per-

FRICTION AT PORTE.
American Vessel Is Forced to Change
Its MOorings.

Mitylene, Aug. 24-Some friction;
has occurred between the American
embassy and the Porte with reference
to the dispatch boat Scorpion.
According to one account the Turks
compelled the vess,l toquit its moor
ings a Tophane and take up posi-
tion inside the Golden Horn. Anoth.
er version merely states that the Am
erican vessel is being kept under close
surveillance.
The Porte is said to have refused to
defer to Ambassador Morgenthau's
consequent remonstrances, but tried
at the same time to placate him by
granting permission, heretofore refus-
ed, for the departure of several Eng
lish and French residents.

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR., AND JOHN LAWSON
HOW THESE TWO MEN LINE UP
BY EDWARD T. LEIGH

Trinidad, Colo, Sept. 29.-While
John D. Rockefeller, Jr, is complet-
ing his campaign for friendship, the
thing which he found his millions
couldn't buy, John r. Lawson, his
leading opponent in the industrial
strife which drenched Colorado with
blood, is lying in the little Jail here,
confined in the same quarters with 25
other prisoners.
While Rockefeller lived in ease at
the cardenas hotel, Trinidad's best
hosiery, Lawson gazed through the
barred windows of little stone Jail
which was built 80 years ago and has
been condemned by the Colorado
prison board as unsanitary and unfit
for habitation.
While Rockefeller took long auto
trips through the bracing air of
southern Colorado, visiting his min
ing camps which dot the country
down here, Lawson paced the roof of
a tier of cells and breathed his only
fresh air through a hole cut in the
rear wall of the jail.
On the 23d OF September, 1913,
the miners of southern Colorado
went out on strike. Two years later
to a day was ushered through lit
tie, black corridor to an iron door,
with a little, square, barred grating.
John Lawson thrust his hand be-
tween the bars, smiled and said:
Welcome"
"NeVer BETTER" he said, in answer
to a question as to his health, and
he looked it. Big, square-shouldered,
John Lawson has a battle to fight
yet. He feels that the fight has just
begun. And he's keeping in condi-
ton.
81 walk all l can in this limited
space" he said. 81 keep by the win
dow and get fresh air. And, above
all, Pm optimistic l manage to
keep in good health"

above the other, front on a narrow
corridor. During the day the prison.
ers are free to pace this corridor or
to walk on the roof of the upper tier
of cells.
Mexican, negroes, Italians -confin-
ed for crimes of every nature-min-
gle with Lawson in the same corridor.
On this particular afternoon two card
games were furnishing most of them
amusement. Others were cooking in
their cells-for the men cook their
own meals.
There isn't much to say" Lawson
declared, when asked how he spent
his days.
"At O'Clock they open the cell
doors and at o'clock at night they
close them. At night l sleep in a
cell with Louis Zancanelli, the miner
convicted of the murder Of Walter
Belcher.
Louis does the cooking. He's fry
ing a chicken now. We buy all our
food outside, and Louis is a good
cook. That's the one bright spot in
this whole iail-being able to have
him for a cell mate"
During the day Lawson occupies
himself with reading and writing.
TITS at night have my trouble"
he said. 1.-THE cell we are in is so
narrow that l have to stretch my
hammock caticorner to keep my feet
and head from touching the walls"
Even during his time in jail John
Lawson has been helping others. His
fellow prisoners, who have come to
love him, though ZancaneIIi is the
only one confined here as a result of
the strike war, tell how he succeeded
in cleaning up the Jail after he en-
tered it.
For one thing, the prisoners didn't
get fresh air. Lawson pleaded with
the jail authorities for an improve
ment, and ventilating hole was cut
