 t'The greatest wrong would be done in the case of the parcel post, for carrying of which the railroads are today underpaid not less than 50 per cent, at a. loss which will probably exceed $8,0OO,0oO in the present fiscal year.

OUR WAR PERIOD TRADE.
Imports Decrease sa7o,ooo,ooo, Exports
Increase Sao3,ooo,ooo.

Washington, ID. c., July l2.--An in
crease OF nearly 1923 100000 in the ex,
port trade and a decrease of 1920 900 ,00C
in imports is shown by the analysis OF
the United States foreign trade for the
ii months covering the European war
issued Saturday by the bureau of for.
eign and domestic commerce. The trade
balance in favor of the United States is
estimated at 81 900, 500 sos.
The analysis shows an enormous in
crease in exports of crude foodstuffs and
food animals, the total expectations
amounting to $4sl, ll0,3s4, as against
1926, 40s,965 for the same period last
year. Crude materials for use in manu-
featuring fell off nearly $500, 100000 in
exports, owing to the closing of Euro.
pean factories which use American raw
material.
Exports to France more than doubled,
to Italy they nearly tripled, and to
Great Britain they increased by nearly
$500, 100000 The export trade to Ger
many fell from 1928, 1890, to s2s,s6l,-
5s7, and to Austria from sci ,2s0,OS7 to
81 .240,l67. During May. only s400 worth
of merchandise went to Germany.

tin Triana, who led the Carranza forces
in the recent attack on Aguasealientes
was killed in the battle, according to {
message received Saturday BY the Wills
agency. The dispatch to the Villa agen
cy says:
Carrying out his strategic plan, Gen
Villa allowed the enemy to approach tc
within six miles of the city This led
them to believe they could capture il
with ease. The Carranzistas advanced
and attacked us vigorously during the
following hours of the morning, the
fighting lasting until o'clock p. m. The
result was very successful for us, the
enemy being repulsed and his positions
taken. The enemy attacked with forces
of all three armies, while we repulsed
them, using only our cavalry Our in
fantry remained in the trenches, and
there was no need OF the reserves. The
enemy was driven to San Bartolo and
points beyond, leaving behind many
dead and wounded"

WARNS ENGLAND SHE
STILL FACES DEFEAT
Home Secretary Tells the Nation That
1t Must Do More Than 1t
Has Done.

London, July l2.-Sir John Simon, thu
home SECRETARY, speaking at an open-ail
meeting at Legion Saturday, declared
omphaticaIly that if England does not do
more in the future than she has done in
the past she is going to be defeated by
Germany.
The assertion came after the home
secretary had expressed the greatest con-
fidence in the future, saying that vic.
tory now appears an absolute certainty
because the nation has awakened. He
added that this awakening was abso-
lutely necessary, finishing with the as
sertion: "If we do not do more in the
future than we have done in the past We
are going to be beaten"
He told his audience that he knew
there was great concern in Germany
over the consumption of ammunition. A
Russian general told him that in four
hours the Germans had fred as many
large calibre, high-explosive shells at
Przemysl as Russian experts had thought
sufficient for six months siege.

supreme court, made by the counsel of
Charles Becker of New York, who has
been condemned to die in the week Of
the Goth for the murder of Herman Ro-
senthal, the gambler. The application
was denied upon the ground that there
was no substantial federal question.
1t is understood that the argument

Barre Athletic club again took defeat
Saturday afternoon at the Granite City
trotting park, and this time by score
of to 3 against the strong st. Johns
bury nine. Hitting was done aplenty by
both teams and although the number OF
safe ones knocked out was evenly divid-
ed, each getting eight, the st. Johnsbury
men were able so to bunch their hits
that they won the game. Not only hits
figured in the winners victory, but costly
errors by the Barre men helped along
the opponents score. 1t was an ideal
day for baseball and the st. Johnsbury
nine certainly showed some good playing,
Tom Davidson was sent to the mound
for st, Johnsbury by ,Hoernle to settle
accounts against his Barre mates. Twelve
victims were his own by striking out;
but he was touched up rather hard at
other times and some hits were well
placed against him. He allowed but two
passes and seemed to have good control.
Gilbert, the pitcher for the Barre team,
was rather wild Saturday. Only seven
We're credited to him and these
came toward the latter part OF the game.
1t was in the first part that he was hit
hard. In the first inning three safe ones
we're responsible for the runs, but not
wholly, as two errors were also made.
In the sixth inning it was on another
series of three hits and one error that
.hree runs were made by St. Johnsbury

WILSON SHAKEN UP
IN AUTO COLLISION
Presidents Car Bumped From Behind
When Stopped To Avoid
Accident.

Cornish, N. H., July l2.--President
Wilson was In an automobile accident
near Newport Saturday night with mem
bers OF his family, but no one was in.
lured. When his machine stopped to
avoid frightening a horse, a small auto
mobile bumped into the White House car
from behind, breaking the front lights of
the smaller car.
The president and Mrs. Francis B,
Sayre, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones and
Mrs. Norman Gait of Washington were
shaken up by the collision. An automo-
bile carrying secret service men which
was a short distance behind came quick
ly to the scene. The secret service men
jumped out to see what was wrong, and
soon learned that the presidents party
had suffered no hurt and that the five
men in the other car we're uninjned.
General opinion was that the presi-
dents chauffeur was in no way to blame.
His automobile was going at compare
lively slow speed, but as the bump oc-
CURED on down grade, the car follow
ing had some difficulty in coming to a
quick stop.
The presidents ride took him for more
than IS miles by Lake Sunapee. Dur.
ing the trip the automobile chased two
small deer for 300 or 400 yards while
their mother watched proceedings from
field nearby. The deer, both wild, were
in the road when the presidential car
approached. They became frightened and
AN along in front of the car. The presi-
lent and members Of his party were
greatly amused and leaned far out to |
watch the chase. When the automobile |
got too close the deer left the road and !
disappeared in a forest.
