The Colorado School OF Agricul-

will open its term this year on
Tuesday, October 8, the entrance
examinations being held on Mon
day, October 5, This school was
established to meet the needs of
the boys and girls of Colorado, who
cannot pursue an education further
than high school, Agriculture,
mechanic arts and domestic science
are taught with special attention
to the practical or vocational side

of these subjects. Thus the young
men and women Of the state are
provided with a more thorough
and practical training for the ac-
tual business of making living
than was available to them before
the school was established. Three
years are required to graduate and
the term lasts for only six months
thus providing ample time for the
discharge of home duties, especially
for the boys and girls in the
country where it is inconvenient
to leave home before crops are
harvested. Much interest is being
evinced in this school this year be-
cause of the demand for trained
leaders which the war has created.
Military training forms a part of
the work at the school and this
alone is attracting many young
men

A Chaos of War Prices
By G. w. Gilbert

Washington, June 19.-0ne thing
much needed now is a purchasing COM
mittee to bring order out of the chaos
of war prices. 1t should be made up of
men of first class ability, courage and
fidelity to the public interest. And 1t
must have a policy with respect to
prices laid down for it by the Admins
tration. This is a rather large order.
And, as in the case Of a great many
other needs of the hour, the President
"has the matter under consideration
He has had it under consideration for
a long time. Several weeks ago it was
announced, evidently on the authority
of some Cabinet member, that single
purchaser for this government and for
all the Allies was to be appointed. 1t
was estimated that this man would con-
troll the spending of sl0,OO0,00O,OOO a
year, and it was further predicted that
Bernard NJ. Baruch, member OF the
Advisory Commission Of the Council OF
National Defence, would proDaDly De
the single purchaser.
About this time there were various
plans to create executives to carry on
the war preparations. 1t was announced,
also apparently on Cabinet authority,
that a munitions controller and trans
portation controller and food con-
troller were to be appointed
Of all these executives, it now seems
likely that only the food controller will
come into being, though board OF
three or more members for the pur-
chase of supplies may also be created
There has been an apparent swing
away from the idea of designating au-
thority, and the creation of real war
organization seems TO be as remote as

Collapse of Austrian
Cabinet Step ToWard
Constitutional Rule
By ISAAC DON LEVINE

The collapse of the present Austrian
Cabinet is the most significant politi-
cal event in Austria since the begin
ming of the war. If the designations
Of the ministers are accepted by the
Emperor, Austria will have made a
start toward parliamentary govern
ment.
Since the Reichsrat convened on May
30 the various groups composing it
came out with declarations and de-
mands. The ordinary membership Of
the Reichsrat is Bis. but owing to
death and other causes only 496 Depu-
ties are attending the present session.
These are divided into two main Sec
tions, the German and anti-German.
The former commands only 233 seats,
including the Socialists, while the lat
ter. composed of Slavs and Latins, con-
trolls the remaining 263 members.
The Reichsrat is thus dominated by
the Opposition, which, although badly
split, still forms majority. The
Czecho- Slovak- Croatian combination,
numbering a hundred Deputies, was the
first to demand the creation Of an in
dependent state under Hapsburg pro-
lection at the opening of the House.
Next followed the representative of the
Ukrainians, or Ruthenians, demanding
autonomy for his race.
The Poles, whose representation con-
sists of seventy-eight members, wanted
nothing less than what their Russian
brethren had won-a pledge of COM
plete independence and reunion. The
Italians supported the claims OF the
Slavs. The Socialists were ready TO
give their assistance to all factions
standing for peace. Only third of
the Reichsrat stood by the Cabinet.
The Premier promised to make state
ment. setting forth the governments
stand toward the various declarations,
but found reconciliation Of the aims
of the opposing factions impossible.
After an attempt to reach q common
formula for all the nationalistic claims
the Cabinet decided to resign and let
the Emperor do it.
Emperor Charles can dissolve the
Reichsrat and let the present Cabinet
continue in power. He can let the
Reichsrat form a coalition government
Such a government would probably
seek an immediate understanding with
Russia and the Allies. If Germany can
help it. she will go to any extreme to
avert the formation of Cabinet con-
trolled by Slavs and Socialists. Aus
tria undoubtedly is about TO make her
supreme effort toward liberation from
the Prussian yoke.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-20

uncertainty regarding the attitude of
Parliament continued.
The uprising of the Poles in the
Vienna Reichsrat last Friday is report
ed BY the Vienna "Arbeiter ZeitungS TO
have been directly brought about by
the rash attitude of the pan-Germanist
Deputy Heine.
10000 Poles Hanged
The Polish Deputy Daszinski had de-
clared that more than 10000 Poles
have been hanged by order of the Ger
man authorities. Following him on the
floor. Deputy Striberny described the
abominable treatment accorded Polish
political suspects. He was in the
midst of this speech when Deputy
Heine shouted: "They haven't used the
rope enough; all Of them ought to have
been hanged"
At these words all OF the Slav and
Polish members rushed upon Heine
and the President was forced to sus-
pend the sitting in the midst of a ire
mendous uproar.
The Polish aspirations, which re-
Gently have been indicated, aim at prac-
tically an independent kingdom openly
on an anti-German basis, and have
evoked marked displeasure in Germany
even the Cologne Gazette" sharply
rebuking the Poles.

Copper Deals
Hurt Baruch's Chances

II is said here that Mr.. Baruch's
chances Of being the single purchaser
were hurt by the developments in cop
per. I have told in a previous article
how the much-heralded price for cop
Der. 16 cents a pound, covered only a
small amount of the metal, the govern
ment having grossly underestimate
its needs, and that when the subject
of a price on the quantity this country
and the Allies needed was brought up
the copper producers suggested "a
cents to assure a prolific those pro-
ducing ore under unfavorable circum-
stances.
Mr.. Baruch favored the copper pro-
ducers' views. But Secretary Daniels,
who. with all his faults, is making the
most consistent fight here in Washing
ton against the excessive cost Of raw
materials. objected TO "a cents as too
high. This price would have assured
a good profit even to the man with the
worst vein worked, and large profit

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-20
Contracts Must Tell
Real Price

And General Goethals, the other pro-
tagonist in the controversy, is said TO
maintain that il makes no difference
what price is written in the contracts,
since the price is only tentative. But
il does make a difference. The United
States is to spend three-quarters of Il
billion for ships. If contracts were
made for steel involving hundreds OF
millions of dollars at s95 a ton,
should like to see the board or COM
mittee with the courage subsequently
to cut that price to 1856 or SOS, which
ever figure finally prevails.
Besides this, the question who IS
finally to fix prices is just as mucn
confused as everything else about this
muddle. Secretary Daniels STROBE into
the limelight yesterday to tell what
he is doing with respect to prices.
And, as ! already have said, he is
firmly insisting upon fair treatment
for the government. But he refers the
determination of final prices for the
Navy Department to the Federal Trade
Commission. Why the Federal Trade
Commission? The Shipping Board
steel prices will be examined into by
the committee on raw materials, OF
which there seem to be several. But
Mr.. Denman is careful to say that its
action will be simply advisory, the
Shipping Boards authority being final.
Thus we have at least three author
tiles on steel prices. General Goethals
has. however, asked the Munitions
Board to fix prices on steel, and this
board certainly is fixing prices on
great deal of steel. either finally or
tentatively, used in making munitions.
Thus we have at least four possible
authorities on the price of steel.
Imagine all of these bodies with ten
tative prices on steel before them in
contracts involving hundreds OF mill
ions of dollars, all the tentative prices
different. with vast fortunes depending
upon their decision, and you will get
some picture of the confusion of the
existing situation and see at glance
how much the country is likely to lose
in the end.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-20

10 the biggest producers with rich
veins, turning out copper at cents. A
sense OF the problem before the pur-
chaser dawned upon the Administra-
ton when this situation arose and the
question of purchaser and price pol
icy is still unsolved.
Meanwhile an equally absurd situs-
ton in the Shipping Board exists,
steel going in a few hours from sos to
S56 ton, both prices being tentative.
Meanwhile, see what comes OF leaving
prices TO any one TO fix. even tenta-
lively, and with no policy adopted by
the Administration. Mr.. Denman ad-
mits that he signed contracts for ships
with steel at s95. and even at sll7 a
ton, without looking at the price, until
after, as he said, the power to COM
mandeer was granted by Congress.
This was, to be exact, about the time
The Tribune called attention to the fact
that the Shipping Board was paying
$95 for steel when the Navy Depart
ment was paying about $50 less.
