stroy Spanish vessels, and also neu-
trail shipping bound to and from

advertence or else under the pretext
that their cargoes were Of a contra

Department Makes Splen-
did Showing of Work
During Past Year

A total Of 919 delegates had regis
tered this morning for the twenty

ton.
The morning session began at 8
o'clock with the Bible hour led by
Rev. d. j. Williams, Wausau, Wis,

dents and officers showed splendid
progress made in Sunday school work

year., Isl
General Secretary James G. Garrt-
son told Of the county association
work and the progress that has been
made towards raising all schools to
the international standard.
@: H. Simpson, Neville, chairman
Of the executive committee, reported

pecially in the selection of Mr.. Gar
rison and Mrs. Bruce Tuttle to sue
ceed Mr. and Mrs. Snow who resigned
as general secretary and assistant. He
extended personal thanks to the mem
bers of the committee for their CO.
operation during the year.
John l.. Alexander, Chicago, inter
national secretary, did not ask Presi-
dent Bishop to introduce him; neither
did he wait for an invitation, but
threatened to attend the convention
next year. He was interrupted by
Secretary Garrison who asked the
convention to make it known how
many wanted Mr. Alexander to come
next year. The answer was a aInani-
nous rising vote. &
Mr.. Alexander congratulated the
convention upon what has been done
in the state and told the delegates
that the state has the most up-to-d date
girls class in North America. He
called attention to the progress that
has been made in the personnel of
those who are active in Sunday school
work. He made it plain that the sour
face does not belong in. the Sunday
school for it is the beauty of the
soul that makes the face shine"
He complimented Secretary Garri-
son, and the local committee that has
made such complete arrangements

The roll call of counties brought q

being an "Old Red" parody Of the
"Swanee River"
AS the counties reported the large
chart of the state was decorated with

counties and seals showing the stand

URGE GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE over COAL Mines
Wisconsin Council Of Defense Asserts
This 10 Only Solution of Problem.
(By Associated Press.)

Madison, Wis, June 21.-Congress
and the president, in resolutions adopt
ed yesterday by the Wisconsin coun-
Gil of defense, were urged to take over
coal mines Of the United States until
prices go down. Prices are unjustifiadbly
high, according to the council, which
took action after long secret session
at which numerous coal dealers were
questioned.
Proper control of prices Of this
commodity to consumers will not Of it
self avert the crisis that menaces the
people" say the resolutions. THE
available supply throughout the ma
ton must be augmented. Intensified
production and proper distribution
must be combined with control of
prices Of the crisis and its accompany
ing distress Is to be averted.
It was brought out during the quiz
of coal dealers that there was no COM
petition in the retail trade in Madison.
Attorney General Owen conducted the
investigation.

MOTOR TRUCKS
EASY TO GET
Governments s Call for 50, 900
Can be Handled With
out Difficulty
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 21.-The war de-
partments request for bids for $4,000
army motor trucks brought responses
from eighty-seven concerns through
out the country and when the offers
were opened it was found that the to-
tai number for which bidders are
ready to contract is many times the
governments requirements. How many
will be ordered has not been determin-
ed.
The estimate of $4,000 made in ask
ing for bids was based on the maxi
mum transport needs OF an army OF
two million men.
Virtually all the big motor conn
panies and many Of the smaller con-
Germs submitted bids. Many types and
sizes were offered, the prices ranging
from $1,031 for one-ton trucks to $4,-
600 for five-ton vehicles. Some of the
manufacturers are ready to begin de-
livery at once.
Three concerns each offered to build
the whole $4,000. There was one Of
fer of 10000 and and several OF 5000
Three companies offered to build
trucks at cost plus ten per cent profit.

London, June 20.-(Special.) )-Those
who have watched Spain closely dur
ing the past few months are con-
vinced that the land of the Hidalgos
Is on the very brink Of a revolution.
For the first time since the restoration
of the Bourbons to the throne, in
1874, military pronunciamentos, which
even much more than Carlism were
the blight and curse Of Spain during
some six decades or more Of the nine
teenth century, have loomed up again
as a political factor, largely through
German manoeuvres and instigation.
The revolution, IL it takes place,
will differ from that of Petrograd in
that it will be in no sense aimed at
the king, who is personally very popu-
lar, nor even against the dynasty. But
it will be directed against the present
government and against the army.
Today Spain is divided into two
camps. On the one side there is the
new cabinet, the greater portion of
the court. all the higher ranks of the
army, most of the territorial aristoc-
racy, and much Of the rural popula-
tion, who all favor the cause of Ger
many. On the other hand, there is
the entire industrial and commercial
element OF the population, the work
ing classes in the cities and towns,
what are known as the liberal pro-
fessions, such as lawyers. physicians,
