Germany Is Preparing
for an Industrial War
After Conflict Is Over

While industrial Germany is reported
as regarding lightly the threat of
general trade war, there are many
evidences Of the physical preparations
being made to meet IT. Large numbers
of freight and passenger ships are be-
ing built the reports say. and plans
are being made on an immense scale to
re-equip manufacturing plants with
machinery Of maximum efficiency.
One effect of the war, as seen in
Germany. has been to improve processes
and cheaper production. Women
pressed into service as factory ma
chine operatives to meet drafts of men
for the battle fronts are reported to
have shown themselves more efficient
and have increased the productiveness
of machinery. In the interest of the
general welfare. however. 1t will not
be the policy to keep them in factories
during times of peace. The govern
ment counts, however. upon the in
huence which the record Of the women.
will have upon the men returning to
peaceful pursuits.

sentative Gardner Enliven Con-
gressional Night Session.

The new revenue law, which is esti-
mated to raise about 5000. 1000. 900, was
signed by the President at the Capitol
today.
The measure passed finally both tho
House and Senate last night as 1t came
from the conference committee yester-
day afternoon. Tho physical impossi-
bility Of having the measure engrossed
in time for the Presidents approval
last night caused an abandonment Of
the plan made earlier In the day to
have Congress adjourn it's session last
night.
The Senate sat far into the night be-
fore a vote was finally had upon the
conference report An adjournment was
then taken until o'clock this morning.

Signs of German Activity.

Wide publicity recently has been given
in Germany. the reports say. to a COM
bination OF several leading dyestuff and
chemical concerns in the interest of bet
ter equipment and increased efficiency
to meet the new commercial competition.
Standardization of factory processes and
questions of marketing and raw products
are among the foremost considerations.
In a dispatch to the State Department,
Ambassador Gerard says that while 1t is
conceded throughout Germany that there
may be changes in legislation, with espe-
cial difficulties for time, due to lack
of raw materials. insufficient shipping
facilities and long interrupted trade re-
lations, no real doubt is entertained con-
cerning the prompt rehabilitation of Ger
man trade in all its more important fea-
lures. And of this German merchant
princes are convinced, the ambassador
said, in spite of the action of enemy
countries that plan to wage an industrial
war after the present struggle ends.

Gardner Charges Hypocrisy.

Mr.. Gardner charged Congress with
hypocrisy, and his criticisms of the ad-
ministration aroused the ire of some of
the democrats, two of whom. Represent
atives Decker of Missouri and Cullop Of
Indiana, made speeches in reply. Repre-
sentative Bennett OF New York, repub-
lican, said he disagreed with both Rep
resentatives Gardner and Decker, but
that there were questions Of national
honor that arose above partisanship.
Representative Decker. amid rounds Of
democratic applause. thanked God that
there was in the White House Presi-
dent who was willing to resort to negotia-
tions before resorting to the sword. He
suggested that the views of Mr. Gardner
and Mr.. Roosevelt were pro-ally.
You claim to be devoted to humanity
and to despise commercialism," said Mr..
Gardner why don't you pass an amend
ment refusing American harbors to Ger
many's interned ships until she repdiates
the Lusitania crime? These retaliatory
amendments would be looked upon all
over the world as blow in support
of Germany's ugly cause. What has
Congress done? Your only protests have
been aimed at the allies, who are fighting
our fight and the fight of civilization"

The revenue bill as 1t was signed by
President Wilson today contains drastic
provisions empowering the President to
retaliate against foreign interference with
American commerce, creates non-parti-
san tariff commission, increases the duties
on dyestuffs to encourage their manu-
facture in the United States, provides
means to prevent dumping of cheap for
eign- made goods into American markets
after the war, and provides for income,
inheritance, munitions, corporation stock,
liquor and miscellaneous internal revenue
taxes
During consideration of the report in
the Senate Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon protested vigorously against elm
ination by the conference committee of

control of Pacific coast fisheries, and Rep
resentative Gardner of Massachusetts en-
livened the House with bitter denunci-
alton of the retaliatory provision against
foreign interference with American COM

Definite PLANS FORMED
TO BRING PEACE TO EUROPE
David Starr Jordan Reports Results
Of Conference In Which Presi-
dent Wilson Participated.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal. Sep
tember s.-That definite plans were out
lined at recent conferences between
for bringing about peace IN Europe. is
the declaration made BY Chancellor
David Starr Jordan Of Stanford Uni
versity, who has tust returned from
Washington.
According to Dr.. Jordan, tho confer
ence agreed that any one Of three plans
would be feasible:
1. congress of executives Of neu-
trail nations might take the lead in
gether.
2. Congress might appoint represent
atives to meet with representatives OF
other neutral congresses to act.
3. The United States might act inde-
pendently.
Not at Liberty to Give Details.
DR.. Jordan said he was not at liberty
to give out tho details OF tho plans. az
they would be handled by President
Wilson himself
I'm my judgment. without relation to
the conference with President Wilson,
said DR.. Jordan. "the President can do
nothing during the coming election, as
1t would be unwise to undertake a
peace movement that would be attacked
politically at home.
TT Is probable that tho President and
Congress will join in a peace movement,
which Will not come, however, for two
or three months. as the entrance of
Greece and Rumania into the war has
given hope of victory to the allies"
Arbitral League After the War.
NEW YORK, September s.-The United
States apparently is prepared to give
favorable consideration to the program
of the League to Enforce Peace. looking
toward the formation of an arbitral league
Of nations after the close of the Euro
pean war. in the opinion of former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft.
In a telegram to Finley J. Shepard. sec
retary Of the League to Enforce Peace,
which opened conference here yester-
day. Mr.. Taft. who is president Of the
league, wrote:
There also, are Indications that serious
thought Is being given our proposals in
the belligerent countries and abroad. Mr..
Asquith's recent Queens Hall speech
showed agreement with our fundamental
plan. So Influential journal as the Man
chester Guardian, published in Man
chester, England. has given much atten-
ton to the league. In fact, both abroad and
at home, the league Is commencing itself
to thoughtful public opinion as offering
the most practicable plan for adoption at
the close of the war"

Anderson of his own mother.
Anderson felt his blood run thick.
Then he felt both ashamed and NOR
titled.
Pleased to meet you, sir" said the
old man. my girl has often told me
of your kindness to her"
Don't mention it, said Anderson,
wondering what sort of trick Lily
Holmes had played on him, and how
soon he could escape.
my daughter was fortunate to
find so kind a gentleman as your
self" said the mother warmly. ct

ployer takes it upon himself to look
after his stenographers like you do.
Lily has told me how you took her

"Yes-yes," said Anderson nerv-
Ously.

versation, the old couple rose. "And

almost a wink the old man left the
room, his wife upon his arm.
Anderson sat staring foolishly at
Lily. It was true, then. She was
really entirely unsuspicioUs of the
part he had expected her to play!
She had really thought that he was
interested in her welfare. And she
had led him into this preposterous
situation! Anger sUrged up in his

He rose. Good night, Miss
Holiness" he said, holding out his
hand and taking her own.
The door had closed behind him,
but he remained in the hall, unable
to stir, thinking deeply. He had never
been SO moved. He had thought all
women worthless and selfish, and
here was a girl who had given the
lie to all his theories. The shock was
a revelation to the man.
And there came to him the memory,
of far-off days when he was a young
man struggling in New York He
had married hard, shrewd, worldly

she had helped him to success. Then
she had tainted him with it. She

given her her way, enduring all the
opprobrium that followed.
And then, cut by all decent people,

played the part assigned him. And he
saw the wretchedness of those years,
and how little happiness they had
brought him.
