DEPRESSION BEFORE WAR
-s' BEGAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-(Special
orrespOndence)-1n a speech a few
days ago Senator Oscar Underwood
made the amazing statement that times
we're good in this country just prior
to the outbreak of the war in Europe.
He was trying to make his audience
believe that the democratic tariff law
had not injured American industry
and that the depression was due to the
war
8. Fortunately, the people of the Unit
ed States are not dependent upon pc.
litical speakers, either democratic or
republican, for the fatcs upon this
question Shortly before congress ad
journed Senator Smoot, of Utah! made
an extended address on the tariff, the
extravaganza Of the administration
and the revenue laws enacted. and, in
the course of his remarks. placed be.
| fore the senate the statements of
non-political commercial agency re-
garding business conditions at time
when no one even suspected the posi-.
| bility of war. - ~ -, =. .--t ~
Those statements. were taken from
| Bradstreet's and were published before
the war was even discussed. The war
began very suddenly Aug. 1, 1914. The
Underwood tariff law had been enacted
Oct. g., 1913, Senator Smoot quoted
the following from Bradstreet's at the
end Of 1913: -
"Ninetcen~hundred and thirteen was
a year OF disquiet and disappointment
alike in foreign and domestic finance,
trade and industry. The disquiet was
worldwide, though until the latter part
of this year not SO much in evidence
at home as abroad"
A quotation from Bradstreets at the
end of tho first three months of 1914
says:
Sentiment in the iron and steel
trades is even less favorable than it
was This is indirectly traceable to
the fact that demand is exceptionally
light and because of retrenchments by
some of the leading railways. Pig iron
is very dull, and prices on southern
grades are lower The quarterly re-
port of failures and liabilities is not
very encouraging. There were more
failures in March than year ago, and
the liabilities were likewise the larg-
est ever reported in that month. The
first quarters total is larger than
year ago, and larger than any previous
quarter since 1896" -. 4 !
Bringing the record down to a date
one month prior to the outbreak of the
war, Senator Smoot quoted the follow
ing from Bradstreet's of July 4, 1914;
Good and excellent crop reports.
quieter distributive trade and dull and
depressed industry and manufacture
are the salient features of this weeks
advices. Collections this week are
rather slow. though crop movements
may tend to improve this. Failures for
six months of 1914 number 7,745, a to-
tai of S.4 per cent larger than last year
and "a per cent heavier than in 1908.
Liabilities for six months aggregate
$149, 969,754, a sum 81 per cent larger
than q year ago."
Thus, from an entirely non.political
source, this and much other conclusive
evidence was produced, showing that
industrial depression existed prior to
the outbreak of the war, and that the
democratic tariff, encouraging imports
and discouraging exports, was respon-
Sih1o -.... .ts.

DISEASE
ATTACKS SOLDIERS

Especial to Gateway by United Pressl
LONDON, July 6.-NIen with their
mouths crammed with cotton to keep
their cheeks from touching their
teeth or their tongues are becoming
more or less familiar sights in the
military hospitals in Europe.
A new, unnamed disease has made
its appearance and, though cures for
it have been established, its nature is
not fully understood. 1t exists among
the Germans as we'll as among the
allies. German prisoners say that the
German medical men are mystifed
by this latest human aiIment. 1t is
believed the trench rats carry the un-
known germ, which has not yet been
isolated.
Major DR.. Sidney McCallin, former
ly of Chicago, but recently attached to
the British R. A. NJ. c. has studied
the new disease in the laboratory of
the Chicago medical unit The first
symptom is the growth of a white lin
ing in the mouth and throat. This re-
sembles diphtheria. The inside of
the mouth becomes painfully sensitive
and at the climax of the attack the
entire mouth is padded with cotton.
After the climax, recovery is rapid.
"Trench mouth" is the popular
name of the ailment but the British
Tommies call it the "foot and mouth
disease" or sometimes, "1umpy jaw"
