NO real PROSPERITY,
SAYS COL. THOMPSON
High Wages Discounted by Living Cost,
Declares Speaker.

That the present prosperity Of the
United States is a fallacy was the state
ment made by Col. Robert NJ. Thompson.
president of the Navy League, in an ad-
dress yesterday at a luncheon of the
Commercial Club.
Although for eighteen months a flood
OF gold has inundated our markets, ard
prices have gone up" said Col. Thomp-
son, yet we have $50 million less bushels
Of wheat, half-a-billion less bushels Of
corn, five million less bales of cotton, and
only half a crop of potatoes.
The working man was apparently
never more prosperous with eight hours
work and increased wages, but the in
creased demand for necessities and lux
uries, and the short crops have jumped,
the prices Of everything to such an ex-
tent that real prosperity does not exist" :"
The flood of immigration to this coun-
try as q liability. rather than an asset
vas also touched upon by Col. Thomp-
son.
IF for ten years we can stop all I'M
migration we can become truly pros
perous," he declared. He said this coun-
try was now possessed of only sufficient
capital to provide the present population
with machinery houses, roads, railways,
telegraphs and telephones, factories,
farms, and everything that energizes and
makes labor effective.
More than 100 members Of. the Com
mercial Club listened to Col Thompson's
remarks, which were followed with close
attention and heartily applauded. The
luncheon yesterday was one of a series
to be given during the winter, the next
one being scheduled for November e

President Wilson will send messages
both to the royal family and to the

Lansing will send message to the

eign affairs In Vienna Congratulations
to the new monarch will not be sent
until later when his ascension to the

The German embassy, basing its
views upon an intimate knowledge Of

tain that the accession OF Charles Fran

tary activity of the most energetic
character. The dead monarch, by rea-
son of his age and infirmities, mas tax

ruler has been actively engaged ou
various fronts.
Count Won Bernstorff the German
ambassador, feels that from an internal
political viewpoint, the death OF the
Austrian emperor will not have he
slightest effect on the war. In times
of peace such an event might have q
strong effect. In war times, he believes,
the people are united for the success OF
their arms. Furthermore, che ambas-
sador feels the people of the duel mon.
archy have been so solidified by he
wa- that the death Of their ruler will
not bring about any political changes
of importance.

CROPS RoTTINe in FIELDS.
Federal Probe to Determine Truth Of
Serious CHARGES,


Chicago, Nov 22.-With the receipt
of information, which, according to
United States officials, apparently tends
to support the belief that certain pro-
duce dealers are permitting fruits and
vegetables to rot in the fields that
prices may be increased, a corps Of
federal agents. directed by United
States District Attorney Cline, today
was searching for the persons respon-
sible. The evidence, If obtained, will
be presented to the federal grand jury,
attempting to fix the responsibility to
fix the price OF food.
Information has reached Mr.. Cline,
he says, that thru organized effort
agents have been sent thru the coun-
try purchasing supplies and preventing
shipment to middlewest markets.
These complaints indicate that seven
acres Of pumpkins, twenty eight car
loads Of potatoes and train load of
cabbages have been destroyed to fur
ther the food shortage and that whole
salers in Norfolk, Philadelphia and
Saginaw are holding quantities of
beans in storage while the price rises.
Announcement was made that for
um for the discussion Of the prices Of
food and other necessities will be es-
tablished here shortly.

FITZGERALD TO
PUSH LEGISLATION
Chairman Of House Appropriations
Committee Secs Opportunity to
Punish Great Britain and at Same
Time Prevent Starvation Of Poor in
Our Own Country--WiIson Admins
tration Said to Oppose Embargo.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Representa-
tive Fitzgerald, chairman Of the house
appropriations committee. announced
today that he favored an embargo on
foodstuffs and that he would press the
subject In the early session of congress.
Two reasons chiefly impel me to
favor embargo legislation on food
stuffs," said Mr. Fitzgerald. st Is the
most effective weapon in our contro-
versy with Great Britain over her un-
warranted, outrageous and indefensi-
BILE blacklist of American merchants
AS our foodstuffs are needed abroad an
embargo will be more effective than
weary months of diplomatic negotia-
tons which end in the continuance OF
the indefensible practices against cur
rights
THE embargo also should be irpos-
ed for purely domestic reasons. Ihe
prices Of foodstuffs have reached levels
that are bringing widespread distress
to the country Many hundreds OF
thousands of our people are suffering
from the ack of the necessities OF l-fe.
Wholesale prices in many commodities
are less abroad today than they We're
year ago; here the retail prices nave
advanced alarmingly
"The argument that nothing should
be done to interfere with the expan-
sion Of our foreign trade does not i'm
press me. OF what profit is 1t II your
foreign trade Is to grow in leaps ana
bounds while our own people are
brought to the verge of starvation as a
result Of it? The time is ripe for the en-
barge and hope to see legislation
speedily enacted to impose it. Let.
America be for Americans first"
It seems to be generally agreed here
that the coming session of congress-
will see fight over the embargo pro-
posal which is sought by monster Pc
titions signed by thousands Of persons
and organizations.
President Wilspn-and the csbinst are
Understood to oppose It.
