turned out which. II approved and en-
forced, will result In some people keep

A resolution to the effect that they
would not make appropriations for cur
rent expenses in excess Of the states
income was offered and about to be lost
when some fellow patched 1t by strik-
ing out and inserting that bonds would
not be issued. I hope these fellows
may not be called upon to vote for OF
against a bond issue, but am by nc
means certain that such will be the
case. It reminds me OF the rabbit who

caught-climbed; and when told by thu
dog that rabbits did not climb tree'
was informed that this n had to.

This talk made by Collins was a mas

TEUTONIC ALLIES IN
WAR CONFERENCE

Berlin, Sept. 1.-The visit of
klng Ferdinand of Bulgaria to
the German emperor at eastern
headquarters is being made the
occasion of an important confer
ence on the near eastern situa-
ton, particularly that in the Bal
kans.
King Ferdinand is accompanied
by the chief of his cabinet, while
the imperial German chancellor,
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg is in
attendance on the Emperor as his
responsible political adviser.
The other Teutonic allied gov
ernments also are represented at
the conference, which it is under
stood will not be without effect
upon the future grouping of the
Balkans.
While apparently there is no in
clinatlon to divide the lions skin
before the animal is killed, it is
considered advisable and timely
in view of Roumania's entry into
the war and the Greek attitude, tc
discuss certain questions of gen
eral policy and the aims of the
Teutonic allies in the near east
Concrete proposals, however, sc
far as the Associated Press is in.
formed, are not under review
The conference rather is devoted
to general survey of the situa
ton and study of the genera
lines of the Balkan policy.

SIZE OF SCENT BREAD
LOAF TO BE REDUCED

Chicago, Sept. 1l.-Reduction
by one-third in the size of the
hve-cent loaf of bread appeared
tonight to have been decided up
on by Chicago bakers instead of
an increase in price.
City officials announced that
bakers had purchased large guam
titles of municipal stamps for
half-pound loaves instead of the
three-quarter pound stamps form
erly used.
United States District Attor-
ney Cline, who is investigating
the bread situation with a view to
possible prosecution under the
Sherman Antitrust law, said to-
night that the weight of the five
cent loaf had been reduced by
some Chicago bakers a week ago.

WOMAN SHOULD
SEEK THE MAN

Ames, Iowa, Sept. 1l.-Miss
Tura A. Hawk probably is the
only college graduated woman
blacksmith in the country.
She has taken course in the
blacksmith department of Iowa
State College, and carries a di-
Ploma stating she is eligible to
work at the trade.
In college Miss Hawk has
taken her turn at the forge, hand
led Whlte-hot iron, welded, rivet-
ed and repaired just like men.
But her idea of the profession for
women is wifehood and mother
hood, Here are the woman black
smiths views of life:
"All the issues of a woman's
lite are conferred in the home.
is it any more than fair that a
woman should be permitted to
ask the man of her ideals to help
her find and operate that home? :
Must woman, because of GUS
tom, wait only to be chosen by
some man who is not her ideal or
else never enter her life profess
sion?
Every woman, if she is to live
up to her ideals, must do one of
two thlngs-get the special man
She desires or live an unmarried
life!
Marriage is an episode in a
mans life; marriage is woman's
life.
"As the situation stands todav
a girl may see the man who is her
ideal, but must stand in line and
hope and pray he will come and
choose her.
IF he doesn't she must accept
the man who does come or never
enter her chosen profession
Wltehood and motherhood"

ANOTHER NOTE
EXPECTED SOON

Washington, D. c., Sept. Ii
Secretary Lansing said today that
another communication from Au-
strla- Hungary regarding the at
tack by an Austrian submarine
upon the American oil tanker Pc
trollte was expected shortly. The
United States has demanded an
apology, punishment of the sub
marine commander and repara-
ton.

NAVY DEPARTMENT VERY MUCH
PLEASED WILTSHIRE SITUATION

I men were trying to arrange to
ship by trolley cars from Pitts
burgh to Cleveland, and thence
by lake to Buffalo and Erie canal
and Hudson river to Brooklyn,
when the emergency legislation
passed by Congress caused the
strike to be called off.
IF the word desperation
seems too strong, it must be re-
lnembered that, besides the New
Mexico, there were under con-
struction five other battleships,
ten destroyers, four auxiliary yes
sells and - submarines. Work
on every one of these would have
to stop ii a strike should last two
weeks. More than that, Congress
has just appropriated nearly
$315,000,OOO with which to build
something like sixty additional
vessels for the navy, and not one
of these could be begun. And in
addition to all the rest, when the
threat of a strike became acute
the navy had only a two weeks
supply of coal on hand. By buy
ing everything within reach a
sufficient supply was secured for
ten days or two weeks more. But
if a strike should last month,
every ship in the navy, except the
very few that use oil for fuel,
would have to tie tip to the dock
and lie there as helpless as "a
painted ship upon painted
ocean.
Because it leads out from one
of the greatest coal fields and
from the greatest steel manufac-
turing center of the world, COM
pletely improved, definitely de-
pendable Ohio river would, in
case of such strike as has Just
been temporarily averted, be
worth more to the navy alone
than its improvement will cost.
If the coal and steel that it could
carry should save us from attack
by an enemy when Our navy was
helpless, it would be worth more
to the nation than all that ever
has been or ever will be spent on
all the waterways of the United
States. Yet the hIibusters con-
Quoted by former Senator Burton
have seriously delayed the work
upon the Ohio-and on every 9TH
er waterway and harbor in the
land-and the senator who led
the flibuster against the River
and Harbor bill of 1916 tried to
cut out the whole appropriation
for the Ohio and stop the work
entirely.
Recent dispatches from Ger
many state that, although the
railways are given over almost
entirely to military use, thriv-
ing commerce is being carried on
with Switzerland, Holland, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden over
the network of waterways which
reaches every part of the empire.
Because we have failed to develop
and use our waterways the peo-
pie of the United States, have
within the past few weeks, been
brought face to face with the por-
tentous fact that, just as long as
we depend solely on one method
of transportation, our commercial
prosperity, Our national existence
our very lives may be imperiled
by a dispute over wages, hours,
and conditions of employment.
mo lesson is more clearly
taught by the anxious days of the
recent past than that the work of
improving Our natural waterways
and joining them into great,
connected system should be
pushed with all possible speed
and it should be made sure be-
yond all peradventure that the
needed appropriations can neither
be Burton-ized nor Carter-ized."
