100000 APPLES
FOR FIGHTING men
Growers and Dealers Want to
Give 1907 600 Barrels to
Warning Nations.

Each soldier in the trenches and hos
pitfalls of Europe is to get an apple, and.
according to the proposal of a commit
tee of the apple trade. a vessel will
carry a big cargo of the greatest Amer
lean fruit across the seas for distribu-
ton under the auspices of the Red
Cross.
Apple rover and dealers who have
learned that many of the lighting men
are suffering because of the lack or
fruit juices, will make efforts to get
President Wilson and Secretary OF state
Lansing to induce the warning nations
to grant safe passage to the appl con-
signment. The apple men also hope to
get the belligerent nations to agree on
an armistlce for one day during which
the apples shall be distributed no truce
has been arranged 50 far, however.
This Is the way a local dealer In APP
pies has made the reckoning:
w understand that there are about
25. 900, 900 men actively engaged in the
various armies and navies in the war
and probably as many more indirectly
involved. To give them all an Ameri-
can apple would mean at least 50,-
600. 900 apples, and counting 500 apples
to the barrel we shall have to provide
100, 900 barrels. At present the mini
mum market value of this fruit Is 50 a
barrel. I estimate hat the whole un-
dertaking would cost not lees than
$500, 900"
IL Is intended hat the apple laden
ship shall sail on October 10. National
Apple Day, so that the consignment
might reach the various fighting n
and hospitals early in November. when
Europe's scant fruit supply will nave
been exhausted.

ADVANCE IN WESTERN RATES.
Commerce board Permits Increase
of sI,5OO.OOO q Year.

wAsHtNGToN. Sept. 21.-Permisslon
was granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day to Western railroads
TO adjust their tariffs OF file with the
commission so that they will be in posi-
ton to increase certain freight rates on
September 80 and leave other proposed
increases to be considered by the COM
mission.
This action grows out OF the recent de-
cision OF the commission allowing cer-
tain Increases In the so-called West
ern advanced rate case and denying
others. The permission now granted
leaves the carriers In position TO apply
before December 81 for a ~rehearing on
the proposed increases denied.
The increases allowed by the commits
sion TO the Western carriers are esti-
mated at about s1.500,tOo per year. Had
the commission allowed all the increases
asked the latter would have aggregated,
II is said, between $1,000. 900 and &c.,
600, 900 a year.

PRESSURE UPON BRITAIN.
state Department L. working TO
Aid I'm p%Orters.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 2l.-The State
Department is making vigorous efforts,
II was declared to-day, to s~traighten out
the confusion which has arisen with re-
gard to the manner in which American
importers may obtain goods of German
origin contracted for before March l,
1915, the date on which the British
orders in council were made effective.
The charge has been made repeatedly
to officials Of the State Department that
certain importers are being permitted
to get such goods. now lying on the docks
in Rotterdam, while other importers
have been unable to DO so.
The State Department is ~endeavoring
to have the British Government agree
to an arrangement whereby American
importers may file their applications for
the release of goods with the British
Embassy here through the foreign trade
advisers Of the Department. TIL British
have not agreed to this proposal.
The negotiations in these cases are
entirely unofficial. as the State Depart
ment holds 1t cannot officially be "A
party to arrangements for exceptions
under the British orders in council, since
II has declared these orders illegal.

AWAIT TEXT OF DECISION

WASHINGTON. sept. 2l.-The confer
ence between officials OF the State De-
partment and counsel for the Chicago
packers who recently lost a case involv-
ing goods to the amount OF SIS. 000, 900
In the British prize courts, has been
postponed pending the receipt OF the
official text of the courts decision, which
is expected to be available in a few
days. 1t Is understood that the pack
ers will charge that their case was de-
clded wholly on presumption and with
out evidence. on this ground, II is ex-
pected. they will ask the diplomatic in
tervantion of the United States Govern
ment in their behalf.
While the State Department has
reached no conclusion in the meat cases,
* is known that some officials feel that
the point raised by the packers Is well
taken. officials have gained the impress
sion tina the court decided against the
packers solely on the ground that the
presumption was against them In view
Of the extraordinary volume OF the meat
shipments TO Denmark and the organiza-
ton OF German resources for the war.
The United States has always held
that I'm applying the principle of the
continuous voyage there must be specific
evidence In each case showing probable
enemy destination of c~ontraband to war
amt a condemnation OF the goods. Com
seuuently, II now seems probable that
the packers will find the attitude of the
State Department most sympathetic in
their cases.
Just what action. IL any. the United
States Government might take in the
packers behalf has not yet ben madee
clear. II is understood hat the packers
ave already taken an appeal from the
prize courts decision. but this step, it
is held here. will not prejudice their
standing in the event OF other measures
being adopted later.
1t has been suggested hat the Wash
ington Government should file with the
British Government a notice that this
Government cannot accept on behalf OF
its citizens interested. such prize court
decisions as that in the packers cases. on
the ground that the accepted rules Of
international law were not applied by
the court. Many here are inclined to old
the view that the British court has
proved in this case that 1t Is not truly
an International tribunal applying in
ternational law. but merely a court for
the application of British municipal law,
such as the British orders in council.
The State Department some time ago
notified Great Britain that this Govern
ment would not recognize prize court
decisions based on British municipal law
when such municipal law was not in
accord with the accepted principles Of
international law.

THE STEEL MARKET.
Indications of Better Buying by

The steel market continues active and
firm and aside from the heavy demand
for steel for export and for conversion
into ammunition here signs of better
buying Of commercial products by domes-
tic consumers are being noted. Steel mills
report that they are buster on railroad
equipment supplies, which gives evidence
OF larger buying by the roads. 1t was
reported yesterday that Michigan Central
was inquiring for $500 freight cars.
Prices continue to show u higher ten
dency. 1t is reported that producars are
asking a dollar a ton more for bars,
plates and shapes for delivery In the first
quarter OF next year. other classes Of
steel also have been affected by the adj
vance.
