Il do not criticize the management

CORN PRICES RISE
At CLOSE OF week
Market. Shows Advantage Of One
Cent for Bulls.
BY JOSEPH f. PRITCHARD.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-Bulls in corn fin
ished the week with prices 5-S to !
cent in their favor. weather has been
a big factor in the trade during the
PAST week Food conservation will
demand a greater use of corn for
human food than ever before and this,
in a way. will offset the reduction in
the demand from dstillers. oats
finished the week with gains. With
the September delivery cleared away,
it is probable that a nervous and ir-
regular action will be noted. The
recOrd-breaking crop must be taken
into consideration when foreCasting
the future trend of value and this
will always hang over the market as
a depressing factor. However. it is
stated that the expert demand for
oats will be greater.
Provisions values attained highest
levels on record last week. The big
cash demand for produce was a fac
tor. Government buying of meats has
pra cticaily wiped out stocks and with
a continuation of this demand there Is
no prospect of the accumulation of
any depressing amount of products.

Will WIN War
Senator Humbert, of France,
Predicts Certain Down

BY SENATOR CHARLES HUMBERT,
Vice President OF the Army Commits
sion of the Senate.

vice PRESIDENT OF tine Army Commits
sion of the Senate.
Paris. Sept. IL. (by mail to The
Washington Herald. - Nine months
ago we scarcely dared to hope for
American intervention; today We count
II one of the surest factors Of victory.
And we are right The powerful aid
OF the United States cannot be rated
too highly. The great republic is
strengthening us in men, industrial
means. foodstuffs and money to an
extent never hoped for.
Way to Win War.
To my mind two IDEAS should in
spire and direct the collaboration of
the United States in the common
task.
To begin with. despite three years
of war. not every one yet realizes
that this is above all a war of ma
terial. war of machinery. a war OF
production and toll, a war of eco
nomic organization.
The second idea is that. in spite of
the increasing number of peoples en-
gagged in the struggle. in spite of the
daily growing complexity of the dip
lomatic and military problems, the
whole conflict still hinges upon the
duel between France and Germany.
II is upon our soil that the enemy
might win complete victory and be-
come the master OF the world; it is
on our frontiers that he must receive
the fatal blow which shall break his
power and pride.
L. I'D ftd f1n1l
effect, American cooperation should
aim at crushing the enemy upon the
| Western front by taking French ter
! ritory as the base for a supreme in
dustrlaliZation OF the struggle. 1t Is
upon our soil that all efforts must bt
| concentrated.
Our allies across the Atlantic will
first of all send us men. and her hell
in this direction will prove at once
most essential and most valuable.
But do not let ourselves be dazzlet
once more by the mirage of electives
The great usefulness of these youni
and vigorous Contingents that arr
about to cross the ocean resides no
in the fact that they will augmen
| the already considerable superiority
the French, English and Belgian
have over the Germans. but in th'
fact that they will permit France Il
ease up a little the superhuman mill
tary effort which has carried hel
much farther than any OF her allies
France should find in the American
re-enforcements an opportunity to lib

it for the government has pooled all
the copper output of the country and
has fixed a price for the sale of the
copper to itself and to others.
1t is a curious fact that the first
commercial pool in the United States
had for its purpose the control of
the price and marketing Of copper.
The brass industry, which has for
some twenty years been listed with
those Industries which have been
called big Business could not have
been established, had it not been for
the organiza ticn of the pool. The
brass manufactures of the Nauga-
tuck valley. Conn, were accustomed
to go to Baltimore once or twice
wear to buy copper. for Baltimore
then possessed the only large copper
smelling plant in the United States.
Competition Keen.
Competition in the copper market
became so keen as seriously to demora-
lie the brass industry. Then it was
proposed that all the brass manu-
facturcs unite in an agreement upon
the price which they would pay Balti-
more for the copper, and at the same
time an agreement was made that
the various corporations enga ged in
this industry, should pool their earn
ings. each receiving its prOpoTtiOnate
part of the entire business.
As A result the industry began to
flourish. 1t became one of the greatest
of American industries. 1t was the
largest buyer Of copper and its eX-
port of brass constituted an important
item in our international trade. Leg
lslatton put an end to the pool and
price agreement. Now the govern
ment has organized and is about to
operate the largest pool ever estab-
lished in the United States. whereby
1t will maintain complete control Of
the copper output and the copper
market. HOLLAND.

Congressman Albert Fl. Vestal OF
Indiana has made vigorous appeal
to his colleagues to reduce the tax
on advertising other than that ap:
pearing in periodicals. He has com
piled figures showing that out Of
$500, 100000 spent in advertising each
year only per cent, or about $780,,
100000. is expended outside of the COL
umns of magazines and newspapers
for billboards, electric signs, street
car advertising, etc. Mr.. Vestal can.
not see the justice of putting five
per cent tax on that small proportion
of the business and letting the balance
escape even though the latter may be
reached slightly by an increase III

what he can to effect a more equitable
distribution of the burden.
