Germans Finance ''Neutrality

Govt Finds 1t Out and May
Prohibit Demonstration.

Buenos Aires. Oct. 11.-There is
much concern among the people of
Argentina over disclosures of German
intrigues to bring about a conflict be-
tween Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
The Argentina papers comment ex-
tensively on the disclosure that the
German legation at Buenos Aires paid
for the publication of a booklet by
the editors of a newspaper in this
city, predicting war between Brazil
and Argentina.
Senior Carlos Rodriguez Larretta,
the former Argentine minister of fl
nance, declares in a published article
today that a Won Luxburg dispatch
which has not yet been made public
refers to German intrigues in Argen-
tina and southern Brazil He says
that the neutrality demonstration
planned for next Friday is ill timed
as it must stamp Argentina as pro-
German at a time when sister repub-
lies are breaking with the common
foe.
The government is expected to take
measures to prevent the proposed
neutrality demonstration next Friday,
it being reported that the govern

FORCE PRICE hike
Threats To Cut OFF Milk Deal
ers' Supply Compelled Action.
Producers CO-Operated To Raise
Price ThruOut Midwest.

Chicago, Oct. lin seeking to
solve its own milk problem, Chica-
go is expected to expose a milk
trust that operated in practically all
the large cities of the country.
Evidence obtained by federal and
state authorities is to be presented
to the county grand jury tomorrow
This is said to show that the National
Milk Producers association, with head
quarters in New York, was largely
responsible for high milk prices
Raids on the offices OF the Illi-
nois Milk Producers association here
several weeks ago resulted in the ac-
quisition of records alleged to show
colIusion between producers of the
middle west to raise wholesale prices
To complete their chain Of evidence
authorities late yesterday raided the
offices of the Chicago Milk Dealers
association and obtained data on re-
fail prices. They are said to nave
discovered that small dealers were
forced to raise prices in conjunction
with the larger ones. under threat of
having their supplies cut off. This
same situation is said TO exist in all
large cities.

IT BRINGS RESULTS
State journal Appeal for Soldiers
Blankets Is Answered.

Letters have begun to be received
from the soldiers in the camps, thank
ing the givers of bed covering that has
beer. sent them. These letters, telling
of the cold nights in which the men
have been insufficiently covered, and
the comfort that the volunteer offer
ing of bedding brought to them, are
enough to witch" the covering right
off all the spare beds in Topeka and
out of all the musty. moth-infested
closets.
An appeal was published recently in
the State Journal, asking women who
had more blankets and comforts and
quilts than they needed, to take them
to the headquarters of the Military
Sisterhood for shipment TO the sol
diers. The response was instant and
generous The clothing was taken to
the stations by truck loads, and the
men who received them are writing
back their letters of thanks Among
the articles sent which appeals par
ticularly to the boys at the camps, are
the pieced quilts, made of firm ma
terials and put together with infinite
painstaking labor by our mothers and
grandmothers. A good many of these
old quilts have found their way to the
men at the camps, and they are priced
for the memories that they bring
scarcely less than for their warmth
The Sisterhood will continue to re-
ceive and ship bedding as long as any
is brought to their rooms in the Me-
mortal building And all that can be
spared will be needed inasmuch as
the demand is greater than the gov
ernment is able to supply on account
of the difficulty in getting it from
the factories in sufficient quantities.

No Excuse for High Prices
They Charge, Carey Says.
Coal Should Not Be Higher
Here Than Elsewhere.
INVESTIGATION is Threatened
Retail Price Semi-Anthracite
Should BE S7.55 a Ton.
Local Men Unable To Explain
Unusual Conditions.

Topeka coal dealers. persistent in
Ike eping their retail prices higher than
quotations in cities adjacent, face a
federal investigation. Emerson Carey.
coal director for Kansas, speaking
over the long distance telephone from
Hutchinson. told the State Journal to-
day that there is no excuse for the
Topeka dealers charging 50 ton for
Al kansas Semi-anthracite coal while
the commodity is retailing in Herring
ton, west. and Kansas City. east. for IS.
According to price schedule sub
mitted by Mr.. Carey. Topeka dealers
are making S1.50 a ton excess profit
on semi-anthracite COAL prepared
sizes.
Price Mt Mines $500.
THE mine price" he said, lis $2.90.
The freight rate from the Greenwood
district to Topeka, of course. must be
added. (The freight rate is $2.65 a
ton, carload lots, by way of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Santa FED Then
the dealers must have a reasonable
profit based on the 1915 schedule plus
30 per cent. l would say that a 50
gross profit per ton would be fair to
Topeka dealers"
Mr.. Carey's schedule would bring
the retail price, arrived at by adding
the cost at the mine, the freight rate
and the gross profit for dealers to-
gether. to S7.55 a ton. Every Topeka
dealer is charging SO a ton.
Look Into Prices.
1--WE are going to follow up the in
formation we have on Topeka prices"
said Mr.. Carey, land look into them.
We are going to get organized shortly
and one thing is sure the government
isn't going to stand for excess profit
grabbing. Dealers who try to pull
anything over like that are going to
get themselves in a lot of trouble"
Several Topeka dealers have taken
exception to the story printed in We'd
nesdays State Journal which exposed
the fact that Topeka dealers are
charging higher prices than in sur
rounding towns and cities. They de-
clared the story mostly bunc," but
were unable to tell why dealers in
Herington and Kansas City can sell
Arkansas semi-anthracite for IS while
Topeka consumers have to pay So.
They also failed to explain why unions
obtain coal from Usage and southern
Kansas without trouble and the deal
ers have but little on hand at any
price.
