since
TUST now we have been passing
through a period of almost
unequalled activity, with large
profits pouring into the Golfers of
great and small business men of GER
tain classes. Whether that activity
will long continue is burning ques-
ton. and one which no one can an
swer to-day. But long or short, it
must inevitably reach a climax.
For every period like 1906 or 1915
we have year like 1898 or 1907,
when the best of firms found that
banks were unwilling to lend funds
excepting upon deposits of good COL
lateral, prime bonds like underlying
railroad issues, the best municipals
and in some cases those Of industrial
and public utility corporations.
Commercial or manufacturing con-
Germs carry large stocks Of mer-
chandise. raw material and supplies
and own real estate, plants and ma
chinery worth thousands; all have
ordinarily sufficient cash to meet
current requirements or can borrow
it, but how many firms have
strong, live reserve fund against a
possible money stringency at time
when cold cash is a matter of life
and death to the organization? How
many concerns have reserve that
would enable the president to go to a
bank during period Of depression
and borrow a substantial sum when
his competitors were being refused?

''WETS" PUT UP
NEW FIGHT FOR
HARD" LIQUOR
Action Follows Defeat of
Bone Dry" Amendment
to Food Measure
BY associated Press

Washington, July THE battle
over the prohibition issue involved
in the food control bill is being
fought out in the Senate again to-
day, this time on the question wheth-
er liquor shall be prohibited during
the war.
The contest had narrowed down
to this phase to-day, following the
defeat of the bone dry" amendment
which action makes it certain that
all legislation stopping manufacture
of intoXicants will be limited to dis
titled beverages.
''Wets" endeavored to force recon
sideration of the Cummins amend
ment, tentatively adopted. which pre-
vents withdrawal of hard" liquor
now held in bond for beverage pur-
poses. Opponents of the provision
claim 1t amounts to a virtual con-
fiscation' of 220, 100000 gallons with
out effecting conservation of any
grain.
Compromise Pending
Pending is a compromise amend
ment by Senator Reed, which would
authorize the President, in his dis
cretion, to permit the withdrawal
of distilled spirits from bonded ware
houses.

hibition issue by tonight, plan to

the streets of New York and its
suburbs following the explosion on
Black Tom Island in the upper
New York harbor last July.
The people in the capital are urg-
ing that quick reprisals be taken.
The west end ande fashionabl
northwestern residential suburbs had
a superb view of the approach of
the visitors. From the further north
ern fringes of the metropolis the
raiders swept ONWARD in fairly close
formation, more than a score in
number.
The squadron. which had been f1y-
ing high, then began a swift tobog-
gan downwards, its speed increasing
tremendously under the assistance
OF gravity and the planes soon reach

Meanwhile from all directions
antiaircraft batteries We're working
like machineguns. Bursting shrap-
mel dotted the air around the on
coming raiders with snarling, vicious
black puffs of smoke, more numer-
Gus than the planes. 1t seemed im-
possible for the raiders completely
TO escape from the atmosphere of
curtain fire surrounding them. The
raiders, however, pursued their
course, holding their cargo of bombs
until they had crossed the suburban
district and outlying parks.
Fortunately majority of the peo-
pie in the capital had just enough
warning of the raid to enable them
to seek safety in easements.

TALE THAT SOUNDS LIKE LIE

A spirited argument took place
among the Sons of Rest at the Penn
Harris corner this morning when
John Newton. of 2416 Market street.

spectors on the job. made the state
ment that If the shovel operator lost
control of his machine it wouldn't be
any time at all. hardly. before the
shovel would have dug itself out of
sight.
The Third street opening at this
time held thirty-eight members of
the order. who had been standing for
some time complacently watching the
shovel as 1t tore down tine stone wall
over near the former location of the
saloon at which folks were wont to
connect with the fatal lager
But when Mr.. Newton MADE the
crack. or assertion. about the ability
of a riderless steam shovel % "fole

ALL APPOINTEES
TURNED DOWN BY
SENATE RENAMED
Patton, Lafean, Butler, Young,
Mead, Leech and Long
Reappointed
ACTION UNPRECEDENTED
Governor Brumbaugh's Action
Expected to Be Made Sub
ject of Test Suit

Announcement was made at the
office of Governor Brumbaugh at 1
o'clock to-day that the Governor
had reappointed all of the eight men
whose nominations were rejected by
the State Senate in the closing hours
of the recent session. 1t is understood
that the men will be commissioned
until the end of the next Senate,
which will meet in 1919.
No statement was issued accom-
panylng the appointments, only the
formal announcement with the
names and offices being given out.
The Governor is away for the week
end and only one or two State Of
fcials were in the city when the an
nouncement was made. None of the
men reappointed was here.
IT is believed that a test of the
Governors authority to appoint men
to offices for which their original
appointments had been rejected by
the Senate will be invited by the
Auditor General, who will probably
refuse to honor any requ Isitions for
cash. Court action will then follow
to compel payment and the question
will go to the highest courts for de-
termination.
The Governors action is unpre-
cedented. There have been very few
instances in Pennsylvania history in
which the Governor has reappointed
man who was not confirmed, but
never has a whole list been taken
up and named again.
The men announced as appointed
to the places for which they were
originally named are:
Charles T.. Patton, Clearfield, Sec
retary of Agriculture.
Daniel +. Lafean, York, Commits
sioner of Banking.
Nathan r. Butler, Wayne, Com
missioner of Fisheries.
William Young, Philadelphia
member Industrial Board
B. Frank Mead. Dauphin, member

ber State Compensation Board.
Robert X. Young, Tioga, member
Public Service Commission.
ID. Edward Long, Franklin, Super
intendent of Public Printing and
Binding.
The commissions for the officials
will be made out at once and they
will be summoned to qualify.
