BELIEVE WAR WILL LAST
SEVERAL. YEARS MORE

Persons who have made a close study
OF the war believe that IL will last for
several years yet. II is possible that
the American munition concerns, like
the American copper companies, will
Yet earn from the war and pay out in
dividends more than their present mar
ket prices. But Wall Street is afraid
must go, and in their fall keep the
whole list unsettled for a time. In
munition companies and particularly
those that took munitions up AS a
side issue have stopped all extensions,
and are planning 10 convert 10 other
uses their special machinery. This
may he bluN TO brighten tho allies
into sending the orders along, but

READING COMPANY
SELLS SMALL COLLIERY

Wall street rumors. although wide
of the truth, are in nearly every IN
stance based on some scrap OF truth.
1t now appears that the Reading Com
or iron company TO a manufacturlnS
concern. presumably the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation. An official state
ment may be expected some time, but
slow to take the public into its con-
fidence.
Sale of the Nickel Plate Railroad by
the New York Central confirms an.
for years in Wall street. This sale
is significant of the intention of rail
road directors TO accept without queS-
ton the puhlic's mandate that rail
institutions that they are, and not as
private enterprises, as some railroad
people once imagined they We're This
means better standing for railroad Sc
curities. They begin to approach bank
stocks in meriting public support.
Munitions are being sold for three
distinct reasons. The first is that pro-
fessional operators find them the most
getting prices in general to lower
level. The second is the fact that the
United States government proposes 10
pay the cost of the Mexican affair out
issue. some leaders in Congress are
opposed 10 this program. but the Prcs
will use ali their influence TO force

heavy taxes on corporations profitinG
by the war. The third reason is that
of their own munitions. Naturally the
orders to American concerns will fall
off. This is as good for America as il
is for Europe, because it would UNI
settle all business ii all the money in
the world were drained to the United

PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS
German Testing Office Claims Inter.
esting Discovery-Would Be Boon
To the United States.

Berlin.--The royal material testing
office at Gross-Lichterfelde, a suburb
of Berlin, announces the interesting
discovery that paper can be manufac-
tured from cotton stalks.
The discovery is not considered Of
much Importance for Germany, which
produces no cotton, but is pointed as
of vast Importance to the United
States, the greatest producer of cot.
ton in the world, because of the short
age OF paper reported in that coun-
try.
The discovery vas made, it is stat.
ed, by a German institution while car.
rying out a commission from an Egyp.
tian firm, given before the war. A
shipment Of stalks which had arrived
from Egypt before the opening of hos
Utilities was used for the experiment.
The stalks were cut and ground,
boiled and b~leached, and the paper
making then proceeded after the usual
methods. The result causes the test
ing office 10 arrive at the decision
that cotton stalks are a good material
for making paper.

Indianapolis.-The first OF three ma
tional notification ceremonies in In
dianapolis was held here On Aug. s
when J. Frank Hanly, former COVER
nor of Indiana. and DR.. Ira Landrith
of Boston were notified Of their re.
spective nominations for president

The next notification will be that
Of Charles W. Fairbanks, the Repub-

the last will be Vice President Thorn
as r. Marshall.
In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Hanly re%pudiated the national Prohi-
bition platform plank favoring the mi
t~iative, referendum and recall.
DR.. Landrith in his speech told how
he had always been an independent
Democrat in Tennessee and said he
probably would continue to vote with
the party of my fathers" in local and
state affairs, but in all national mat
tiers he would support only the cause
which called for state and nationwide
prohibition.
The notification ceremonies were
attended by representative Prohibit
tionists from all over the country. The
national campaign committee selected
an executive committee to complete
the details of the campaign plans.

SHOW A STEADY GROWTH
Nearly 5000 Men Give Entire Time
70 Y. N. C. A. Work-Over
a 100000 Members.

New York.-The steady growth Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
OF North America Is reflected in the
new annual report now being CON-
piled.
Buildings and equipment continue
to increase. The membership and va
rious activities, educational, industrial,
social and religious. show substantial
gains. The number Of buildings has
grown from $50 in 1909. valued at $21.'

ued at $685. 300 900, besides $40, 900. 900
more in equipment, endowment and
building funds. In the last year %
buildings, valued at more than $6,000..

more are being erected.
These buildings provide an almost
endless variety of attractions for boys
and young men, and more than 700,.
900 have taken out membership tick

ings. Nearly 100000 have been en-
rolled in vocational evening classes.
$4,000 use the gymnasium privileges.
$4,000 live in the association dormi-
tories and 100, 900 were registered in
the various classes in religious educa-
zion and Bible study.
Talent and exceptional ability in the

social, educational, physical and ad.
ministrative. The total number Of
men giving their entire time to this
work is nearly 5000. .ti
The biggest problem which the as.
sociations face is where to get these
men. 1t Is met in a by the
association training colleges in Chi.
cage and Springfield, Mass, but these
provide less than one-fifth Of the new
men required, besides making no pro.
vision for the needs of present secre-
taries.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Amusing stories are being told by q
London newspaper correspondent con-
corning the carrying out Of the mo
treating" orders issued by the British
board Of control. On one occasion
two detectives attired as lockers Wis
tied a Liverpool house. One of them
ordered two pints" and rendered
money in payment. The barman
brought the drinks and the change,
whereupon he was informed that he
had broken the law. "Not q bit of it."
replied the apron-wearer. "you ordered
two pints, and I'm going to stand here
and see you drink them yourself"
A New Brighton, "public'' was the
scene Of this story: Three men NJ
tered and one Of them ordered and
paid for three bottles of stout. The
barmaid brought the bottles I'M
corked and n glass. On being asked
for two more glasses she politely In
timated that the man who ordered the
three bottles must drink them. and
that she had nothing to do with his
companions.

BEER AND GRAIN.

Germans are beginning to chafe
against the liberty granted to the brew
er to waste grain, while the consump-
ton Of bread is restricted and cattle
are grudged their usual sustenance.
Daily 5000 hundredweight Of barley
are wasted by Germans In producing
beer. To make a litre of beer nearly
half a pound of barley is required,
n some Germans drink five litres a
day. One writer sums up the case
against the beer drinker in these
trenchant words: "Whoever drinks
beer during the war takes away a
piece Of bread from his fellow man,
robs his people Of meat and butter and
deprives u children, our sick and
wounded Of the milk and eggs SO nee
essary."

Washington.-Gen. Carranza's reply

Thus, the de facto government ap-

than the military situation and limits
its discussions to subjects originally
by Observation-Disclosures OF
American troOps from Mexico; formu-
Of a protocol to cover future OPP

ton Of interests which may have pro

Whether this will be satisfactory to
the United States government has not

Service Resumed.

New York.-The strike on the sur
face railway lines here came to an end
Aug. 7. Directors of the New York
Railway Co. and the Third Avenue
Railway Co, the two principal lines
affected, voted after being deadlocked
for IL hours to accept a plan of settle
ment proposed by Mayor Mitchell and
Oscar S. Straus, chairman Of the pub
lie service commission, after repre-
sentationves of the strikers had agreed
to 1t. 1t was then announced that
normal service would be resumed on
the lines ratifying the agreement.
One OF the chief concessions in the
settlement gives to the employees the
right to organize, which was the issue
the strike leaders said they were de-
ternined should be fought to the end.
The companies agreed to treat with
grievances committees of their en-
ployes irrespective Of the fact that
they may belong to a union. Wage
demands will be arbitrated, the pro-
vision being made that negotiations
must not begin later than Aug. 20.
Officials of the Second Avenue rail.
road and Richmond Light & Power
Co. and the New Pork & Queens Coun.
ty Co. were invited by Mayor Mitchell
to meet with him and Mr.. Straus to
consider measures to end the strike
OF those lines.
Although the agreement reached
comedies the right Of the employees to
organize, the union is not recognized
by the company.

BELIEVE BOSTON OBJECTIVE
Report That Cargo For Return 10 Be-

Portland, Memo further trace had
been reported of two vessels believed
by the coast guard lookout, who sight

ed off the Maine coast near Machias.
Cross Island, where the lookout Vas
stationed, is at the mouth of the Bay
Of Fundy and close to British terri
torial waters off the provinces of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The possibility that one Of the YES
sells might have been the German mer-
chant submarine Bremen aroused
much interest and resulted in a close
watch along the coasts of Maine and
Massachusetts.
Those who argue that the German
submarine Bremen will find refuge
in Boston harbor were encouraged by
persistent reports that an outgoing
cargo for the merchantmen was being
assembled in Boston. According to
these reports, which could not be
traced to a definite source, the cargo
will consist of nickel and rubber,
which are being brought to Boston in
a way to escape observation.

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman uncon.
scIous and She Died From
Fright. lnRN

During a thunderstorm at Newton.
N. j. a woman who through all her
life Of fifty years had felt q nervous
dread of lightning" became uncon-
scious from fright and died. dig
Cannot the m%ultitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel Of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay
their fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an access of terror in
every thunderstorm. and in effect I'M
dergo the agony of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms Of
death so painless or so remote. In
1912 in the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women, who
mainly feel this fear, should be en-
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in CONGREGATIONS
in a year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number Of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning is as 354
to 1. sssr
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept a light
ming stroke as an end as easy al any
other. 1t is too instantaneous to ad-
NIT of physical sensation, while the
f~ear-ridden are assured that If the
flash is seen the sufferer Is safe.

SUBSTITUTE LONG SOUGHT,
Americans Have Wrestled With the
Paper Problem Many Years.

New York.-Lincoln B. Palmer,
manager of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, said that al
though private and governmental lab.
oratories had been seeking for years
10 find a suitable substitute for wood
pulp in the manufacture OF paper,
nothing had as yet been produced that
would stand the test.
IF the Germans have solved the
problem" he said, they will have
rendered the United States a valuable
service, and it ought to bring millions
to the inventor OF the process. The
discovery, If true, should prove a boon
to the paper-making industry in this
country"
