arrangement, Commissioner Jones
said yesterday that there might be
some modification of it on a return
to normal conditions, of shipping but
he did not think that it would ever
be seriously disturbed. Water rates.
he said would never again be as low
as they had been. They had always
been too low and owners of lines
would never make the mistakes of the
past. Water competition began %
years ago when the shippers of San
Francisco, to hammer down the excess
sive rates of the roads,. put on line
of ships. They succeeded in forcing
down the rates and bringing about a
chaotic condition but they banArupted
themselves in doing it,
Speaking again of preferential rates
from coast points to the east. Mr..
Jones said that the rate on wool from
San Francisco to Boston was 81 while
the rate from Arizona points is $2.07.
| Now wool from Arizona will reach the
| market on even terms with wool from
the coast. While the readiustment
may not generally reduce freight rates
to Arizona points, said Mr.. Jones it
opens the doors and destroys the bar
riers which have hemmed in Arizona.

IN finding in his mail a proof copy of

Blood, Cruelty and Rapacity.
[By Associated Press. ]


WASHINGTON. July 90. Senator
Lewis declared in the Senate to-day
that. in his opinion. the recent speech
of DR.. MichaeliS. the new Chancellor
Of Germany. was direct invitation
to the United States to use its in
fluence for peace. He said he believed
the central powers would be willing
to accept peace without victory.
II interpret II to mean that tho mere
asking for peace by the allies would
be the occasion fer Germany agreeing
10 discussing terms" said he.
Senator Lewis said he believed that
the speech was peculiarly directed to
the United States" and added his opin-
ion that II was not written by the
Chancellor. Senator McCumber OBJ
served that the Chancellor's references
TO continued use of the C-boat to bring
the allies to their knees did not look
like an offer OF peace"
Senator Lewis said that his Idea.
gained only by reading Of the speech.
was that Germany would be satisfied
10 restore the status quo before the
war.
1T Is my conviction" the Illinois
Senator said. that already influences
have been aroused in Germany which
will cause great domestic reforms
SPEECH NOT SUSCEPTIBLE
TO LEWIS'S CONSTRUCTION
In a spirited reply. Senator King. OF
Utah. declared it folly to discuss peace.
and commended DR.. Michaelis's speech
was not susceptible to Senator Lew,s's
construction.
1T was tribute to Bethmann- oil

nent OF tho policy OF blood. cruelty
rapacity and wickedn which has
characterized the German prosecution
OF the war. 1t Endorses tho ruthless
submarine warfare and boasts of Its
infamous success. 1t seems TO me that
the Senator. in desire to seek peace
has been intent on reading into the
speech sentiments never expressed by
the German Chancellor.
Were in this fight to win and will
not talk peace until Germany sues fol
peace and rights the wrongs and crime:
che has committed. Let's talk no more
OF peace. but fight to win this wal
for democracy and the world"
Senator Lewis, in a brief reply. said
Surely the Senator does not NEAR
that he is in favor of continuing tn,

peace on our terms or those of tn,
