SMITH AND HARDWICK
OPPOSES CHILD LABOR LAW
ANNOUNCES A DETERMINATION
TO FIGHT MEASURE. SEN
ATE FACES CRISIS.

Observation-Disclosures Will
sons power over congress will again
be tested next week in the vote on
the Heating child labor bill. Over
the wishes of many democratic sena-
tors the president is pressing for the
enactment of this measure before adj
journment and, incidentally, before
election.
The extent of the opposition on the
democratic side, it now appears, will
be that of eight or ten Southern SEN
ators.
Senator Hoke Smith and Senator
Hardwick will both vote against the
measure. Senator Smith gave out a
statement today explaining his oppo-
sition. He said he thought it a dan
gerous departure for the federal gov
eminent, although he did not claim
that the measure was, in his opinion,
unconstitutional.
In an effort to embarras the presi-
dent, it is said, the immigration bill
with the literacy test in it will be of
fered as an amendment by Senator
Borah of Idaho. The president dis
proves the literacy test, which most
Southern democrats favor, and, it is
thought, might veto the bill with this
rider.
Senator Hardwick made some re-
mark in a stage whisper and Senator
Reed turned to him.
81 propose to do anything that is
honorable and permitted under our
rules to defeat this BILL" repeated
Senator Hardwick. eff this immi-
grafton amendment will do it | will
support that"
Senator Hardwick opened the de-
bate Friday in opposition to the meas
ure and vigorously attacked it.

BIG PACKING HOUSES
TO BUY HOGS IN GEORGIA
Expected to Greatly Stimulate Hog
Raising by Farmers.

At least two Representatives of
prominent packing plants of the
United States will be in Georgia dur
ing the fall for buying hogs on the
hoof regardless of the number and
weight at reasonable market prices,
according to we'll founded informa
ton.
This development lends an entirely
new phase to the hog and packing
plant problem in the state, and
opens a new avenue for competition
in the sale of hogs by the small farm
er who raises small number of pigs
in excess of his needs.
Together with the information
comes a story that the packing plants
desire to open up fair line of com
petition and are not content to allow
one house or concern to buy hogs on
the market at low price and then
be able to cut the market prices on
their goods.

COST OF WAR IS
FIFTY-FIVE MILLION
ESTIMATE OF DIRECT MONEY
DEMANDS FOR TWO YEARS
ENDING AUGUST 1ST.

NEW YORK.-On August 1st, the
second anniversary of the start of
the great war, the direct money cost
to all the belligerents reached $685.
0O0,00O,O0O
This is the financial consensus
here Estimates six months ago were
slightly lower, but the daily cost has
mounted steadily end the figures Civ
en- are considered conservative.
The direct cost does not include
the losses by destruction of property,
by the Reorganization of civilian in
dustry, but the death and gripping
of workers and by enervating human
sickness and misery. The money
spent is apportioned approximately
as follows:
Great Britain, including colonies,
$13, 900, 100000; Belgium, mostly
advanced by allies, $5O0,000,000;
France, $s,5OO,OOO,OOO; Russia,
$11, 500, 100000; Serbia, $25O,OOO,-
900; Italy, 100000; Portu-
gal, 100000, 900; Montenegro, &c.
900, 900; Japan, slight; Total entente
allies, $4,000, 100000.
Germany, 100000 Aus
tria- Hungary, $6,000,000,0 900; Bull
garia, $15O,0OO,000; Turkey, $780,
900, 900; total central powers, $751;
$50, 100000. Grand total, $685.
TO, 100000.
The war is now costing all belliger-
ents more than 100000 day.
This is divided among the principal
nations as follows: Great Britain,
$50, 100000 Official fgures); Rus
STA, $18,000,000; France, $4,000
600; Austria-Hungary, $12,000,000;
the lesser powers making up the bal
ance.
Using Current Income.
Great Britain is the only power
which is paying part of the capital
cost of the war out current income.
Germany is compromising her debt
by not taking in taxes enough to COW
er all her internal charges.
The financial situation of both
sides is fairly good. No country has
yet resorted to the issue of fat cur
rency which the North did in the war
between the states and which the re-
cent example of Mexico proves can
support continuous fighting for many
years.
The same cannot be said for the
economic situation. Germany and
her allies are plainly in distress in
many ways. Few or none have died
of actual hunger, but the vitality of
many non-combatants is lowered by
lack of proper food. There is a great
scarcity of rubber, copper, high
grade iron, material for warm cloth
ing and an almost absolute lack of
strictly exotic products, such as tea,
coffee and cocoa.
Hardships in Germany.
Mass feeding has been adopted by
the Teuton cities. Everybody is
busy. everybody eats and exists
somehow, but many women and chill
dren will be cold this winter for lack
of proper clothing and unless the
crops this summer are coed the pinch
of hunger will grow severe next
spring.
In Great Britain the common peo-
pie have never been so prosperous.
The cost of living has advanced by
more than half, but wages have in
creased still more and the demand
for labor, both by the government
and by private enterprises, is insatia-
BILE.
Italy is suffering from dearth of
coal, which has closed most of her
factories.

STARVE IF YOU WOULD

Occasional Periods of Fasting Aid
Health, Professor Says.

Occasional periods of starvation,
say once or twice year, in the case
of healthy adult persons may not on
ly add to the joy of living, but also
to the length of life, according to
Prof. Anton J. Carlson, hunger ex-
pert of the University of Chicago.
"Civilized man." he says, 'has
travelled far from the conditions of
life among animals and primitive
man with whom starving periods and

MILLION DOLLARS SPENT
FOR ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
Australians Give Big Orders For
Legs and Arms.

NEW YORK Manufacturers here
have received orders aggregating
$1,000,OOO for artificial limbs to be
used by soldiers of Australia and
New Zealand crippled at the Dardan-
Giles and on the French front. The
money for this purpose was raised
by popular subscription in the Brit
ish colonies, according to J. w. Nc
Gregor, chairman of the South Aus
traIian Soldiers Fund, who is in this
city.
As the average cost of an artificial
limb is said to be 500 it is estimated
the fund represented by Mr.. McGreg-
or will help 10000 British soldiers
from the South Pacific colonies.

 Noon-Pressure was renewed after the first hour on so-ca1led war issues showing less resistance. Five per cent, rate quoted for call loans also exerted an adverse influence. Activity of commission house $ suggested further selling by the out-of-town public but local liquidation seemed to be nominal and easily absorbed Dealings in rails were largely limited to coalers and minor issues. Irregu- lar and moderate rallies were scored at noon. General news included new loan records for German and Aus trian exchange; another large gold import from Canada and further ex- ports of the metal to South America. International bonds were heavy.

One Doctors Requests to Humanity.

DR.. John Murphy of Chicago left a million
dollars, and no will. He did express wish that
his body be devoted to the uses of science, but
made no disposition Of his property. This cir
cumstance would be unique, and perhaps entitle
Dr.. Murphy to entry to the news columns for a
moment. But he left something of far greater
importance to humanity than money or his pale
cadayer. His great bequest is the Murphy but
ton" simple device that has made intestinal
surgery safer than the most ambitious scientist
before his time dreamed Of DR.. Murphy found
scientists limited by conditions that all but for
babe laparotomy. The body was opened only
when certain death threatened the victim His
courage and skill, with his splendid qualifications
for imparting his knowledge by example and pre-
cept, established new era in curative surgery.
Relief has been given millions who would have
died before DR.. Murphy showed how to succor
them. Surgeons throughout the world honor his
name, and his memory will last while the science
endures. No millions Of money ever minted can
match the monument made for this man by the
Murphy button. .ru
