Also, that they believe now is the time to make preparations for the big revival of business that is to fol- low; a revival already under way.
 Among those who hold this opinion are not only Charles Schwab and other kings on industry known throughout the nation, but number of Pine Bluff men. Among these lat ter are H. w. Coles and J. w. Reynolds, who are putting their money into and casting their fortunes with, this new Pine Bluff enterprise, although both are re- linquishing lucrative positions to do so.
 The timid will not benefit from such period as this, perhaps, but the fellow with the courage to go ahead now is going to reap rich re. wards in the shape of good profits.

RELIGION.

A Jewish rabbi recently informed us with regret that his religion now was split up into seven sects. How ever, as Christians get along with only 134 sects. he probably won't despair. That reminds us that church unity is still debatable question. Everybody seems to be 1T favor of if except as regards his own particular congregation. But funda- mental truths go marching on il spite of artificial cleavages.

MONEY EASIER IN EAST
Business on Atlantic Coast Lively,
Too, Says Peter G. Schmidt.

That money is quite easy and busi-
ness conditions show much improve
ment in Atlantic seaboard cities, in
the iron and steel districts and the
agricultural regions Of the Middle
West. we're statements made by Peter
G. Schmidt. head Of the Olympia
Brewing company, upon his return
Sunday from a months trip during
which he went as far east as New
Haven, Conn.
There are more good spots back
there than there are out here on this
coast" was his comment. "Along the
Atlantic coast, where the war orders
have run into millions, business is
real lively and money much easier
than it was few months ago. Yet
people are still doubtful about the
international situation and the gen.
eral feeling is that business will be
more or less unsettled until that is
cleared up. A great improvement
however, mas DeeH HOleu during tHe
last few weeks"
During his trip Mr.. Schmidt spent
a good deal of time investigating the
dairy products and fruit products
business, in which the Schmidt inter-
ests are engaging in this territory.
He reports crop conditions through
out the Middle West as generally ex-
cellent and the farmers and business
men optimistic over teh outlook. The
eastern trip followed a trip Mr.. and
Mrs. Schmidt and two children made
to the San Francisco exposition, the
family going East to attend the we'd
ding of Mrs. Schmidt's sister.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Every in
dustrial center of the United States
reports continued increase in the
number of men employed. More
marked still than this increase is the
growth in the amount of wages paid,
for in plant after plant a return to-
ward full time is to be noted. Inqui-
ries made by the World during the
past week show that, while much of
this activity is due to war orders,
there is also healthy, if somewhat
leisurely, reaction to normal condi-
tions in the usual markets. Not one
of the reports received lacked a de-
cidedly hopeful tone
Detroit, where 40 per cent of the
male population is now employed in
automobile factories, has witnessed a
phenomenal increase in activity since
the firts of the year. One company
has increased its payroll 500 per cent,
another 200 per cent, another 81 per
cent. The smallest increase has been
25 per cent.
South Bend, Ind, in reporting an
increase of only 700 in the number Of
men employed, at the same time re-
ports an increase of $4,000 a month
in the amount of wages paid.

Schenectady, N. Y. home of the
General Electric company, shows an
even more significant condition.
There, with the number of men still

FACE FEDERAL CHARGE
Attorney c. f. Collier and Brother
Indicted for Alleged Land Frauds.

Charged with using the mails to
defraud in a land scheme, Attorney
c. e. Collier of this city and his
brother, D. r. Collier of Oakville,
formerly of Olympia. will be placed
on trial in the federal court in Taco
ma June Is. They were arrested the
latter part Of last week on indict-
ments made by the federal grand
jury, charging that in 1913 they
wrongfully located settlers on "gov-
ernment" land in Skagit and Snoho-
mish counties.
The indictment, which is 35 pages
long, alleges that the Golfers OBJ
tanned payments of 5000 each from
some 35 persons in various parts of
Southwest Washington. Attorney
Collier was arrested in this city and
was released after posting $4,000
bail with United States Commissioner
T. l.. O'Leary. His brother was ar
rested in Oakville and taken to Taco
ma, where he pleaded not guilty and
was released on $4,000 bonds.
Golfers accusers claim that they
found the land supposed to come to
them already actually settled on.
Though the Golfers at that time lived
in this county, most of the land fraud
operations are alleged to have been
conducted in Aberdeen, Hoquiam and
Centralia. Residents of these cities
were induced to take up" claims, 1t
is alleged, when shown a plat Of the
district.

Locomotive Works are, has increased

New England is feeling the full ef-

Steel Shows Improvement.
Steel, long accounted the truest ba-
rometer of industrial conditions in the
United States, is evincing unmistak-
ably the improvement in conditions.
In the Pittsburgh district alone 5,378
more men are now employed than
were on the rolls in January, and
from other centers similar conditions
are reported.
Dayton, Ohio, finds the outlook en-
tirely reassuring. The increase in the
number Of men employed has been
gradual, but in the National Cash
Register works alone the number of
days in the working week has jumped
from three to five. AS rapidly as pos
sible the men laid off are being taken
back.
The International Harvester COM
pany reports an increase of 20 per
cent in the number of men employed
since January. Emphasis Is laid by 1t
on the bright prospects for a steadily
increasing volume of sales in this
country, the condition toward which

Big Seattle Explosion Still Mystery.

Efforts of the Seattle and Tacoma
police to discover those responsible
for the explosion of Is tons of dyna-
mite on a barge in Elliott bay. Seattle,
early Sunday morning, have so far
failed. One suspect, a man who had
bought $50 feet of fuse in Tacoma
Saturday, was later exonerated after
he had produced the fuse and ex-
planned his actions. The dynamite
had been brought from San Francisco
and was in the Seattle harbor await
ign shipment to Vladivostok and the
supposition is that the explosion was
brought about by enemies of Russia.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife, causing from 100000 to $780,
900 damage in the Seattle business
district by the destruction of plate
glass windows.

TO HOlO GERMANY
TO DEFINITE ANSWER
EVASIVE REPLY BRINGS DEVEI.
OPMENTS THAT MAY BREAK
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.

Because the verdict of a majority
OF the cabinet was that the German
reply to the American note, following
the sinking of the Lusitania, was un-
responsive and unsatisfactory, that it
dlsregarded the good will of the
United States, doubted it's facts and
disclaimed all blame for the destruc-
ton of the merchantmen, with Amer
lean lives, President Wilson deter
mined this week that the United
States must ascertain definitely and
very mptly from Germany
whether the imperial government in
tends in the future to be guided by
the accepted principles of interna-
tional law and the rights of neutrals
or to follow its own rules of maritime
warfare.
The questions of fact raised by
Germany were regarded as irrelevant
at this time. The note setting forth
this governments position will be dis
patched to Germany the latter part of
this week, the president being now
engaged in it's preparation.
May Break Relations.
An unfavorable answer to this in
quiry would lead, 1t was predicted in
official quarters, to a severance of
diplomatic relations on the ground
that the United States could not con-
tinue intercourse with a government
which repudiated these principles.
Steps then would be taken to in
form Americans of the dangers to
which they we're exposed as result
Of this action and such measures as
necessary adopted to safeguard the
lives and interests of citizens of the
United States.
Should Germany accept the prin-
ciple in q way that would constitute
a guarantee for the future. the Amer
ican government would reiterate its
demand for q ''strict accountability
for violations Of this principle and
the killing of Americans in the tor
pedoing without warning of the Lusi-
tania.
Cabinet United in Decision.
The decision to base the American
note on the principles of international
law to obtain an Affirmative or mega
tive reply, and not enter into a tech
nical discussion of details raised in
the German communication. which
avoided the main issues, was the final
outcome of the cabinet deliberations.
Expressions of confidence in the
president are received in great num-
bers of kilograms from all parts of
the country every day. Members of
the cabinet spoke of this and declared
that the presidents view of the entire
problem was such that he could be
depended upon in his action to MAIN
tain the honor and dignity of the
country.
