Why Kings?

When Germany and her allies are final
ly defeated this question will echo thru
out Europe:
Why kings?
Almost every week brings forth its
own damning proof Of the danger kings
are to the world. The recently published
correspondence between the German kali
ser and the Russian car should shock
the world into a realization Of that dam
ger.
Here behind the scenes, ignoring ad-
visers and cabinets and parliaments and
all the rest. willy" and "Nicky" were
playing at cross purposes with each
other. There were many afectionate
messages TO members Of their respect
i've families. There was on the part Of
the kaiser a constant attempt to infu-
ence the stupid Russian car against Eng
land to make him believe France was
not always true to the Russian ally.
All the time and always the kaiser was
seeking to strengthen himself against the
day when he expected to make an on
slaught on Europe
It is not pretty picture-this of two
mere human beings, like the rest Of US
toying with the lives, the fortunes, the
future of millions of men. And that is
why, when all the full story Of this wal
is known, the question will come up con
stantly upon the lips Of men:
Why kings?

ID SIGN EXPORT
 CONTROL ACT TODAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

TRepubican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, June 19.-President Wilson is expected to sign tomorrow an executive order putting into opera tion the export control act just passed by congress- A plan of organization and general export program drawn up by Secretaries Lansing and Redfield was taken up at today's cabinet meeting.
 The act will be administered by an expert council made up of represent atiVes of the state war navy and com merce departments the food admin Stration and others, to be selected by the state and commerce departments. Administrative details will be handled by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. which will be enlarged by the addition of an export licensing divi- sion.
 Matters of internationa! consequence will be decided by the state department. Food questions will be left to the food administration. Coal and wheat will be the first two commodities to come un- der operation of the act and a presi- dential proclamation specifying these two probably will accompany the exc cutiVe order.
 Heavy grain purchases by European neutrals, it was said tonight, influenced
  expert control act into operation. Alarmed at prospects that the United States was preparing to exercise the strictest supervision over food ship ments. the neutrals, it is declared, have gone into the American wheat market and obtained contracts for enormous quantities of the cereal. Much of this now probably will never leave the country and if the fool bills pass. the purchasers can be forced to disgorge their holdings under tho embargo clause.
 The allies who have discontinued grain purchases for the time being, awaiting the outcome of the food ex- port and control legislation have grown more and more impatient, it is de- clared, at the continued neutral buy ing The heavy allied buying in the spring has been blamed in large meas ure for the high prices to which May wheat went.
 Under a program that probably will be adopted by the government America will be supplied first out of American products; the allies will be taken care of next and the neutrals will be con Sidered last

DEFENSE |S NOT
 BELL|GERENCY
rReDubIican A. p. Leased wire1


 WASHINGTON, June 19.-President Viera's executive order that mo Amer i"an country which in defense of it's rights shall find itself in a state of war with nations of other continents will be treated as belligerents" was cabled to the state department today by the American legation at MontevidO. The reasons for the action are set forth in the order as follows:
 Tn various communications the gov sernment of Uruguay has proclaimed the principle Of American solidarity as the criterion of it's international pol icy. understanding that the grievance against the rights of one country by the continent would be considered as grievance by all and provoke them to uniform and common reaction. In the hope of seeing an agreement in this respect realized between the nations of America which may make the practical and efficient application of such ideals possible. the government has adopted a watchful attitude with reference to it's action, although it has signified in each case it's sympathy with the continental nations which have seen themselves obliged to abandon their neutrality As long as such an agreement is not made Uruguay, without acting contrary to it's sentiments and convictions, could not treat the American nations which in defense of their own rights find them selves comnromised in an international war as belligerents"

at all costs to embroil us with the United States. This is proved by the publication in the pro-German papers of the United States of stories of wire less dispatches between Mexico and Berlin and of an alliance against the United States between Mexico and Sal vador and by declarations that high Mexican officials have been paid mill lions of dollars to secure support for Germany. To these instrigues, we should respond by a declaration of war"
 Luis Ledon said an alliance with Germany would be highly disasterous for Mexico. for assuming that the Ger mans should repulse the attacks of the Americans in Europe they would come to Mexico and conquer it as a base of operations against the United States and crush Mexico as they crushed Bel gium.
 We should ally ourselves frankly with the United States, said Senor Ledon, ''on moral as well as economic grounds for they have all the money | we require for the rehabilitation of our country"

WASHINGTON. June 19.-Tangible plans for women's work during the war were made at a meeting here today between the women's committee of the defense council and the heads of leading national women's societies.

 forts to set aside labor standards or put women into mems positions with out equal pay. Organization of women to sew for the needy of America and France was outlined in addresses as presenting field of invaluable service

WOMEN WORKERS
 ARE EXPLOITED
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ


 WASHINGTON, June 19.-A protest charging that war has resulted in the exploitation of women workers on gov ernment contracts and the violation of labor standards in government depart ments was presented to White House officials and several cabinet members today by a committee of the national wOmen's trade union league.
 The committee told Secretary Tu- multy and Secretary Baker that while many garment workers in New York are idle contracts for uniforms and other supplies are going to cities where labor resources already are Overbur- dened. To Secretary McAdoo they com plained that several hundred employees of the bureau of printing and engrav- ing and the government printing of flee. including many women, are work ing excessive overtime, amounting to twelve hours a day and seVe! days a week." while the civil service fosters are filled with names of eligibles enough to make overtime entirely un- necessary.

willing to meet the copper corpora tions half way. If we are to work at wages that obtained prIor to the dec laration of war, then we must demand that prices remain as they were prior to the declaration of war. In the face of the stubborn attitude of the copper companies on the one hand, and the rising cost of living on the other, fear more for the welfare of my country from internal disturbances than from external It is my opinion that some thing will have to be done by congress and done quickly if we are to avert serious industrial conflicts"

ROCK SLIDE CHANGES
 COURSE OF RIVER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1 TTNCTTON Colo Inn,

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, June 20. The Grand river was forced to change it's course near Palisade early today when a quantity of earth and rock from a mountain which the stream had undermined fell into it, damming it up and forcing it through a tunnel. The river flowed through the tunnel washing out several rail- road buildings. So far as learned there there was no loss of life.
 The river has been at flood stage for several days, reaching a 13-foot stage Monday, the highest it ever has been.
 Palisade, near which place the rivers channel was blocked, is about 20 miles from here. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad, on which the tunnel is. is blocked by the action of the stream.
 It is not known yet whether the change of course will be permanent.
 Among the buildings washed away were the station and section house of the railroad, and several smaller structures.
