The young man playing pool il. a

The young man playing pool in a
pool room is rather up against it if a
peace officer happens to ask to see his
registration card. If the y. m. has no
such card, he cannot lawfully play pool
as the age limit was raised some time
ago TO q years. Hence if he is playing,
he. must have the green card in his
pocket and any peace officer can de-.
mand to see it. If net presented on de-
mand, the officer can take the young
man and hold him until government of
ficers take him in charge. For the young
man it is NO registration card, no pool.
The good housekeepers who will soon
be asked to sign the government s
pledge card need not feel alarmed. In
the first place, there are no dues or
fees. That is some consolation. Then it
does not obligate any service of any
kind excepting to follow the suggestions
of the food administrator as to what
foods should be served ON certain days.
The pledge is as follows: III am glad
to Join you in the service of food con
servation for our nation and l hereby
accept membership in the United States
Food Administration, pledging myself
to carry out the directions and advice
of the food administrator in my home,

An easy way to help the Red Cross,
one that will cost nothing is just to

be in the way or chueked in the stove,

figured that if the 5000 housekeepers
of Salem would take this amount of
trouble, there would be shipment of
100 tons of old papers. Several of the
business houses are doing the right
thing. The Booteryf happens to have
about two tons of old papers and boxes
and the Red Cross got them. Gale &
Co., also notified headquarters they had
wagon load of old boxes for the Red
Cross. 1t appears that the giving of
boxes and papers by the business houses
to the Red Cross works both ways-good

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2s.-D. Parouard'
captain OF a Danish steamship, Just
arrived, had a narrow escape on ms
trip here, when a German submarine
commander, whose ire he had unwIt-
tingly aroused, threatened TO shoot
him.
He was off the coast Of Denmark
when a submarine ordered him to stop.
After examining his papers, the U-boat
commander permitted him to leave. lie
had gone but a short distance when
another submarine ordered him to halt.
Engines were stopped, but the YES
sci continued some distance under
Roadway, and the submarine opened
ire. Fearing his ship would be sunk,
Captain Parouard lowered a lifeboat
and proceeded to the submarine.
why didn't you stop" the German
asked. :,
II did as soon as I saw your signal
Parouard answered.
mo. you didn't" the enraged Ger
man shouted. you tried to escape,
and I have notion to shoot you"
Finally the captain convinced him
that he was acting fairly, and he was
allowed to proceed.

Consul General in this city yes
terday made public preliminary

ton in the interests OF national de-

Coal Operators Plan
Appeal to Congress

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Bitumi-
nous coal operators who are dissatis-
fed with the scale of prices proclaimed
by President Wilson are contemplat-
ing appealing to Congress for help.
The operators who are protesting
against the scale will voice their SEN
ti->snts at the operators meeting in
Pittsburgh, to be held some time next
week. The meeting was scheduled for
tomorrow, but had to be postponed
because of the inability of many oper-
ators to attend on short notice.
1t is reported here that the oper-
ators will propose resolution which
they will seek to have the Senate or
House adopt calling upon the President
to submit TO Congress the cost figures
gathered by the Federal Trade Com
mission and upon which he based the
soft coal scale of prices.
Officials who have knowledge OF the
situation said to-day that they doubt
ed that either branch of Congress
would adopt such a resolution. II,
however. it is adopted, these officials
are confident that the figures would
not be submitted, on the ground that
their disclosure would be incompatible
with the nations interest.
The coal administration, headed by
Harry A. Garfield, has leased quarters
in Washington and is preparing 20
start work within a few days.
Operators from the Birmingham and
West Virginia districts are now in
Washington and are seeking a confer
ence with Ny Garfield

1917 Wheat Price
Still Unsettled
Presidents Board Develops
Differences Of Opinion
in Balloting

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-MemOsr'
Of the committee appointed by Presi'
dent Wilson to fix a price for the 1917
wheat crop were voting on price at
late hour tonight. 1t WAS understood
they had agreed to come to eonclu'
sion before the session ended. The
price probably will be announced early
tomorrow.
Members of the committee declined
to discuss the situation tonight but II
is understood several votes were taken
Il had been decided earlier that q three
fourths vote would determine the
price.
The fact conclusion was not
reached was taken to mean tnsV cor
siderable differences Of opinion had ae'
veloped as to what is q fair Valuation
of the crop.
The basic price fixed will be for No.
Northern wheat or its equivalent
Prices for other grades and classes
will be left to the food administra-
ton. which will work out q scale IN
few days.
Representatives OF grain-produeihg
interests on the committee have con-
tended for high price because OF the
short crop. arguing that, since. Con,
cress has fixed an arbitrary price OF
50 for next years yield, with every
prospect Of increased acreage, this
years crop is worth a much higher
figure. IL is generally predicted the
price will be between SO and $3.50.
The duties Of the committee, it has
been understood, will end with the NIX
ing of a wheat price, but it is now sug,,
gested that the committee may be asked
to recommend to the food admins
tration fair prices for other common,
ties, on which producers and the food
administration cannot agree.
The committee, headed by DR.: H. A.
Garfield, president Of Williams College,
has twelve members, representing both
producers and the public.

Teuton Reply Favors
Papal Peace Proposal
Central Powers to Follow the
Same Policy as When Re-
plyinp to President Wilson

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Reports
from Germany have led observers here
n believe that the Central Empires
and their allies will not reject the
peace proposal Of Pope Benedict, and
that they will advocate in their reply
10 the Vatican the calling of an imme-
date conference Of the representatives
of the belligerent nations in some
neutral country to begin the peace
negotiations.
The German reply has already been
prepared. and is ready 10 be forward
ed. this being indicated, observers as
sert. by the fact that the new commit
tee of seven members OF the Reichs-
tag and seven of the Bundesrath are
meeting to-day with Chancellor MI
chaelis to consider the German com
munication. That II will be forwarded
without delay to the Vatican IS e%-
pected here.
The surmises regarding the Teutonic
allies answer 10 the Pope are based
partly upon their reply TO President
Wilson's December invitation to all the
belligerents to state their peace aims.
The Central Powers and their allies
countered, refraining from stating
their war objects, but proposing, in
stead, a formal conference of the two
groups of belligerents.
There is belief, also, that the leu
tonic allies will 60 further in their
reply to the Pope in outlining their
war aims than they went in their an
swer 70 President Wilson's proposal,
seeking TO justify themselves on the
ground or self-defence.

America Expects
Germany's Allies
To Declare War

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-There
were intimations by high government
official. to-day that the United States
and the allies Of Germany may be
actually at war. Because of the grant
ing OF loans by this government TO
the governments of nations at war
with Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey, with the special condition
that the money so lent be expended
in America for war materials, it is
considered that this country has given
Germany's allies a cause for declaring
war.
II was made plain that this govern
ment does not at present conceive Of
any situation which would prompt IT
70 declare the existence of state Of
war with those powers, but the Ad-
minis.ration would no. be surprised,
and, it was indicated, the government
would not regret, the recognition Of
state OF war by those governments
with America.
officials saw no especial disadvan-
tage at this time because of the anoma-
lous situation between Germany's al
lies and the United States. but said
they could foresee conditions which
would possibly make the continuance
Of such a situation Instantaneous.
However, it was pointed out, the posi-
ton taken by the United States points
to Germany ss.the principal aggressor
and offender. and in view of the cen
trail European alliance, it was regarded
rs possible in some well-informed quar-
tiers that the United States might &C
tually wsge war upon Germany's asso-
ciates without going through the for
mality Of declaration of war This
opinion did not, however, receive gen.
eral support.
Severed relations" is the official
phrase for defining the absence Of re-
iations OF any kind with Austria-Hun-
gary and Turkey. Bulgaria has not
vet been induced by Germany TO with
Draw her representative from America
and to present passports 10 the Amer
lean officials who may be in Bulgaria,
