SHIPPING BILL AND WAR
A German View Of How 1t Will Supply
the Kaiser with Munitions.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To-day | was talking to fine
young German who is very proud of
the fact that he will soon receive his
final papers and become full-fedged
American citizen.
We discussed the war in good tenn
per. although we favor opposite sides.
and after other phases had been passed
on ! said that | did not see how. if il
became a question of things remain
ing in about the same condition as now,
Germany and Austria, with some $50,
600 square miles of territory TO sup
Tort them. could hope to outlast their
opponents. with all the rest of the
world open TO them.
He then made the astounding state
mert that as soon as the United States
bought the German ships everything
that Germany needed EARNS. powder,
copper, food, etc. would be sent to
her in those ships; and that England
could not interfere with them unless
she wanted TO go 10 war with the
United States He had got that idea
from reading a certain German news
paper and talking with others who had
read the same paper
To my mind any paper which would
raise false hopes by knowingly mis-
stating the effects of the pending ship
ping bill, should it pass. ought to be
barred from the United States mails.

WIDE OPEN SALOONS
What a Clergyman Observed on
Sunday Stroll in His Neighborhood.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune Of December
q, 1914, headed "Shows Wide Open Sa-
looms on Sunday" is an account telling
of the visits made to seven saloons
within two blocks of this church,
showing them TO be wide open.
The inspector of the police of this
district called on me the same evening
to verify your reporters tale. On
leaving me | asked him what he was
going to do about the liquor tax laws.
He replied: 81 am going TO enforce
the laws
Sunday, January 8, and yesterday /
found nearly every saloon | passed 40
ing business. One saloonkeeper shook
his fist at me when he saw me looking
through the window as he was behind
the bar getting drinks for the men IN
the back room. The door between the
barroom and back room was open, con
trary 20 the liquor tax law.
The Mayor, i'm my interview with HIM
in December. said in reply TO my query
as to what the administration would do
in the matter of violations OF the law
by LIQUOR dealers: I'VE are Tightening
up as fast as possible" II may be
tightening up, but | think the liquor
dealers are loosening up to some one.
This wide open defiance of the liquor
laws by both the liquor interests and
the administration reminds me:
A man met a friend whose father had
been Ill and said: "How's your
father?" "He is dead" said his friend.
"Sorry, old boy" and shook his hand.
Later in the day he met his friend
again and absentmindedly said: "How's
YOUR father" "Still dead" said his
friend. JAMES V. CHALMERS.

particulars speed. convenience in pick
up and delivery, care in transit, collec-
tions, cost of insurance, tracing OF lost
packages. adjustment OF claims
large majority of the shippers pre-
fcrred the express companies. And
even in the matter of cost the charges
by freight were cheaper than by the
parcel post, but of course the character
of the packages largely differed. While
the parcel post had the advantage Of
the express companies in cheapness
and also in certain instances of reach
ing of-the-way places at times not
reached by the express companies, the
advantages on the whole rested de-
cidedly with the express companies.
Even as regards cheapness some ship
pers said that the post was unsatlstac-
tory. since it took longer to prepare
a package for mailing than for eX-
press. and if lost the Postoftice Depart
ment ellis out paper and makes an
attempt to locate it, but never hnds
the goods
The Question of Cost.
Again, the question of cost to the
public in distinction from cost to the
shipper seems as yet entirely unset
lleu, LOT, SO lar dS Oit Nlu lNdA IT. wv
Postoffice Department has made no
statement of cost accounting in con-
nection with the parcel post so that
one can determine whether really it is
carrying cheaper than do the express
companies, or whether. as seems not
improbable, the difference in charges
TO shippers is made up by the low
rates forced upon the railroads against
their will, or by shifting the burden
upon other branches of the postal ser
vice or upon the taxpayers. The rail-
roads claim that they have been most
unjustly treated, and many Senators
and members of Congress agree that
the burden has been placed in good
part upon them. Certainly the Post
Office Department has no right to claim
success in this regard until 1t can show
cost accounts that are clearly compar-
able with those of the express COM
panies.

PARAMOUNT COMEDY
 AT PRINCESS TODAY
TWO GREAT FEATURE COMEDY PRODUCTIONS WITH SPECIAL
 ORCHESTRA MUSIC.

The Princess offers one of the greatest feature comedy programs ever shown in Hot Springs, today headed by the Paramount five reel comedy drama by Jesse l.. Lasky "The Country Boy" and ending with a sereamingly funny two reel Reli ance comedy entitled Sympathy Sal"
 Jesse L. Lasky's picturization of Edgar Selwyn's most famous dra matic hit, The Country Boy" is as far as possible from the race of sen. sational films which claim to warn against this Ur that evil in the world Just as it is more direct and more convincing, however, it is a more real warning to those country boys" who feel tempted to yield to the lure of the city for no sounder reason than the restlessness of youth.
 The Country Boy"-impersona by Marshal Neilan--is just the aver age self-confident young chap of the small town, who lives with his mother and seeks to marry ~abOve his sta tion-' Unwilling to go through the plodding drudgery of making his way at home. he turns to the metropolis and accepts a $l5 a week position in New York. But the city is bigger and stronger than he is: and it takes him in it's grasp and brings him down to the level of people not worthy to associate with him at all But, in the end it is the love of the good country girl which brings him back home, to live down his disgrace and make his fight for standing in the community to which he properly belongs.
 The second feature of this premier comedy bill is Reliance two reel com edy, Sympathy Sal" It is one of the greatest two part comedies you ever witnessed and in the Reliance come dians and comediennes you will see some new and attractive faces and some talented joy artists.
 A special musical program has been rehearsed by the Princess orchestra. Ned Picerno will render some violin solos, and Duke Hodgins will inter- sperse some of his own masterful rag. time music that will simply make the comedies dance.
 This big program and 10 cents.

also included in the film, aud pictures of the newspaper men who are cover ing this case for the Gazette. the Democrat and out-of-town papers were taken A good picture of Elmer E. Clarke, publisher of the Democrat, his editor, F. c. Vane, and his busi- ness manager K 0. Engle, all en- gagged in a discussion of the race bill, was also procured. The Democrat has made this almost a personal issue between the paper and the governor, and their interest in Hot Springs be- half is appreciated.
 The moving picture camera created no end of interest in Little Rock yes terday The proprietor of the Palace theater, one of the largest and most palatial moving picture houses in Little Rock, learning of the purpose of Messrs. Blaschke and Ebel, earn. estly requested that when the pic lures are shown in Little Rock that he be given the first opportunity tC present the same to the capital city public. These pictures. together witl two other reels of Hot Springs scenes and the big events that have taker place here recently, will soon be re leased and taken by Mir.

HARVESTER SUIT IN SUPREME COURT
TWO DAYS WILL BE CONSUMED IN ARGUMENT BY
 ATTORNEYS.

Washington. April 7-The crucial contests in the governments dissolu tiOn suit against the International Harvester Compan began today with the presentation of the case to the supreme court in oral arguments. On account of it's importance the court consented to give two full days for argument for the case Only John r. Wilson. a director of the. company. and one of it's corps of attorneys, was heard today. The suit was begun three years ago in the federal district court of MinnesOtal. More than 200 witnesses were heard by the lower court which eventually held the com. pany was a combination in violation of the Sherman antitrust law and directed it's dissolution into at least three equal and independent organ izations.
 MT Wilson in hts opening address sought to put the f acts in the case as viewed by the defendants before the court He emphasized the fact that the petition for dissolution charged that the harvester company had been guilty of illegal practices toward customers and competitors He followed this with the statement that since the case had been tried in the district court the government had changed it's position and instead of pressing these charges insisted that the mere acquisition of a prepon- derant proportion of previously com peting businesses in and of itself con- stituted violation of the Sherman law.

that many things had been testified tU that he might contradict, but they were immaterial to the issue, and would only bring up a matter of veracHy between himself and others He said Senator Harris on Monday asked him to be named commissioner. and that he told Harris the bill would be vetoed, and that Harris then left. He said that when the primary cleo tion bill was pending Judge Walls and harmon and Hutton came to his house to get him to help defeat the bill. He said he was only interested in the defeat of some provisions.
 "I said to them, tomorrow is senate day in the house. If the house does not vote on the Ruff bill and the pri- mary bill tomorrow, before the racing bill comes up, there will be no racing law in Arkansas. | never asked q senator or a representative to vote for the racing bill. l spoke to but one senator about it. Judge Rofe asked me to speak to Senator Harry Harris and find out how he stood. 1 did SO and Harris was against the bill, and so reported to Judge Rolfe. The ap pontments Bedding refers to being held up in the senate were not there at the time. l did not tell Bedding would sign the bill, but told him felt that l could almost persuade myself to do so, and would take up the mat fa..
 ridge Davis and Bradsher had been informed by me from the start that would not sign the racing bill"
