situation a year ago or two years ago,
when their chief customers were for
eign nations and foreign peoples.
The only prices they have been
willing to discuss are based upon the
fictitious prices built up during the
three years that the European ma
lions have been at war. and lave been
willing to pay any price (however ex-
cessive) for the last ton of steel that
could be produced in this country.
1t has been pointed out to these
steel kings that such prices, consider
ing the huge amounts Of steel requtr-
ed by the government now, were out
rageous and impossible; hat the tax
payers of the nation simply would not
stand for them. They have answered
that the only way to get maximum
production was paying these excessive
prices.
In other words, the steel kings say:
eff our government and u fellow
countryment want US to produce the
necessities of war in, the quantities
necessary to win the war, they must
pay our price,
And what is true of the steel kings
is equally true of the coal kings and
the iron ore kings and the transporta-
ton kings.

The rulers of Germany misjudged
their man; they thought he was bluff
fling. They saw their mistake when 1t
was too late.
The appeal Of the president to the
big interests of the country, in which
he begs them to forego their excess
sive profits inc be no less patriotic
than the boys who are to bleed and
die for their country. is analogous to
his last peace note to Germany.
If his appeal does not bring an i'm
mediate response the unlimited var
power Of the government will be ex-
ercised.
The nation needs hundreds of mill
lions of tons of coal and millions of
tons of steel and efficient t~ransporta-
ton on both land and ocean If it is to
defeat Germany.
1t is going to have these things at a
fair price, If it has to commander
them.
That is the meaning of the presi-
dents appeal. The issue is as clear
as crystal.
The American people need have no
fears that President Wilson will try
to evade it.
The demagogues will have no rea-
son to ply their trade on this score.

it is a time for treason. Both evils

and handled in adequate manner.
President Wilson has shown his
hand to the men of great power in
the business and industrial world. and
a given them warning thai while it
is now gloved and accompanied with
soft words of appeal, it will be an

New York. Jan. l0.--With the po-
lice of many cities searching for
Harry X. Thaw, wanted here to an
swer to an indictment charging him
with assaulting and kidnapping Fred
erick Gump, jro of Kansas City, Mo-,
it developed today that the man whom
the police of Philadelphia have ar
rested is not George +. O'Pyrnes,
Thaw's bodyguard, alleged to have
been involved in the enticing Of Gump
to New York last Christmas.
Frank +. Walsh, counsel for the
Gump family. consulted the district
attorney upon his return here today
from Philadelphia He informed the
prosecutor that the man in custody
in that city is Oliver Brewer Of
Utica, N. Y, all acquaintance OF
Thaw.
According to Mr.. Walsh's story to
the prosecutor today, Thaw appar-
emily left in Browcr's care at Phil
adelphia hotel number of letters
and documents. One OF these, ac-
cording to the lawyer, is an agree
ment, drawn up but not signed,
whereby Gump set forth that he had
no objection to being whipped. The
charge against Thaw is that he
lashed Gump with whip on three
occasions during Christmas night in
Thaw's rooms in New York hotel.
Brewer is held in Philadelphia on
a technical charge. He is not in
volved in the accusations mentioned
in the indictment against Thaw and
O'Byrnes, but acted. Mr. Walsh al
leges, as Thaw's emissary after Thaw
left New York subsequent to the es-
cape of Gump from the hotel here.
Thaw is understood to have sent

OF preventing the youth from telling
of the alleged incidents of Christmas
