Urgent Need of Markets,

other wars have been settled, the ma
tions of Europe will face not only the
enormous war debts and expense of a
normal rebuilding of their industries,
but in addition the continuously in

for markets will be the most urgent

They VIII urge upon their people the
patriotic duty of accepting lower

in order that the nation may secure
profit at the prices it is able to get
with which to rebuild it's industries

OPPOSE TRANSFER OF RELICS.
Some Officials Against Bill Favorins
Mount Vernon Association

House bill providing for the dona-
ton to the Mount Vernon Association
of certain relics, souvenirs, etc, OF
President George Washington, now in
the possession of the government, does
not meet with the favor Of some of ths
officials of the War Department.
Col. Harris. the engineer oficer in
charge of public buildings and grounds
to whom the resolution was rsfArred
reported that there were no such relics
IN his office. and expressed tho belief
that II was not good policy to transfer
any sovernment-owned relics Of George
Washington to a private association
In his opinion all such relics in any OF
the executive departments whose pos
session is not specially desired should
be transferred to the United States Ma
tional Museum. where there Ia already
a valuable and interesting collection of
relics of the first President.
