Gold Flowing In
Starts Prices Upward

New York, June 22.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The establishment of high stock pri-
ees today was probably induced as
much by the growing belief that the
stringency in the money market will
not become seriously acute as by any
other consideration. Gold continues to
flow into this center in large volume,
another consignment of $50, ,34 900 be-
ing eceived from Canada today. Near
ly $35,000,000 has now been imported
from Canada in the past ten days. The
recent course of the market has brought
about much improved technical posi-
tion and stocks responded easily today
TO buying orders. But best prices were
generally recorded around mid day, the
upturn being assisted not little by
the covering of easily frightened shorts
United States Steel l.dctuated over
a range of about two points and main
tanned gain of more than point Buy
ing of Bethlehem Steel was vigorous
at intervals. Firmness also character
lied the steel.
Trading came practically to a stand
still as the session came TO close.

German People Pin Faith on
Ability Of Submarines to
Force England Make Peace

in Russia She may make a separate
peace, in which case, Germany would
easily be able to lend her plenty of
money-even billions. Italy would un.
doubtedly make a separate peace like
wise if Russia took this step-because
Italy fears for what the Austrian troops
might do on her borders if they were
released from the Russian front. With
this, it seems probable that France
might also agree to peace on certain
favorable conditions, which Germany
would be willing to grant Under such
circumstances, nobody thinks England
would be foolish enough to stick in the
war alone, or with the United tSates.
elf England did, Germany could lit
orally put a steel net of submarines
around the British Isles and starve
them out. 1t would not take more than
a few months either"

VIII Not Be Decreased

London, June %. - England might
Just as we'll make up her mind that
there can be, no sudden diminution in
losses from German submarines, the
Times warned its readers today. The
lesson is, the "thunderer added, that
strict economy must be praeticed by
all.
Gin both this country and France,
the arming Of merchant vessels is max
ing rapid progress and there is fair
prospect of a substantial increase in
the available merchant tonnage Of the
allies at no distant date" the editor
ial asserted. "The admiralty statistics
show clearly that the menace of the
enemy IS submarines has in no sense
abated. We have had only two worse
weeks than last week.
The Times detailed the speeding
up" of shipbuilding in England ond
America as eyidencing how the. allies
are preparing to cope with the loss OF

State Not Liable for
Damages to Truck

Attorney General Brown today gave
a written opinion to Secretary Of State
Olcott advising him not to audit a
claim for $3.50 against the state fish
hatchery fund. The claim was pre-
state fish and game commission and
represents the premium paid on an in.
sented to the secretary of state by the
suranse policy taken out on an automo-
bile truck operated by the commission
in connection with the hateheries.
The policy is intended to insure
against loss from damage or injury suf-
fered by Others as result of the
operation of the automobile truck.
The attorney general holds that no
liability is imposed by law on the state
for damages resulting to others from
the operation of the truck. Such in.
jury would have to be compensated by
a special act of the legislature, he says.
He also advises that even if the state
would be liable for damages, an insur-
ance premium could not be paid out Of
the fish hatchery fund as that is not
the purpose for which the fund exists

ELECTRIC WORKERS
OF COAST MAY STRIKE
Trouble Starts at Aberdeen
Would Tie Up Coast From
Mexico to Canada

! Seattle, june GA general strike
I of telephone operators and electrical
workers which would practically tie ur
all Pacific Coast lines is feared here to-
morrow as the result Of lockout of IS
| girls at Aberdeen yesterday.
J. Morganthaler, president of the Pa.
cifie coast council Of Electrical work
ers, of San Francisco arrived in Seat
tie Thursday night and was scheduled
to confer with Pacific Telephone q
Telegraph company officials in an ef-
fort to avert the strike.
The electrical workers and the line.
men of the coast are well organized
but there is no organization Of the op-
orators. The girls want the right to
unionize, and they also want charges
in the working schedule which includes
guarantee Of four days a week at
$I.j0 q day while learning, and $l.75 y
day when they are proficient.
At present they are guaranteed two
days a week at q day and receive
$3.50 when they have learned the bust
ness.
If they walk out, il is declared by
union officials here that the electrical
workers and linenlen will call sym
pathetic strike to enforce the girls de-
mands. This would mean practical ces-
sation of telephone business from Mexi-
co to Canada.
According to reports received from
B. F. Gordon, international organizer
of the electrical workers, who is now in
Aberdeen, the girls have gone back to
work pending a settlement of the trou-
Bile.

Washington. June Belgium, "the
broken heart of Europe" spoke out
its sorrows in the chamber of the SEN
ate today.
Before great throng in the galleries
and on the floor, Baron Moncheur, chief
of the Belgian mission to this country,
related his story Of bitterness and mis-
fortune.
"It is only my great desire to express
the gratitude which all Belgium feels
toward the American people and their
government that permits me to speak
today" Moncheur said, in opening.
{" You all know the unspeakable evils
which have befallen my unfortunate
country, the unprovoked passion accom-
panied by deliberate system of terror,
the burning Of many OF our thriving
cities and villages and the massacre OF
thousands Of our peaceful citizens.
"Then followed the iron hand of
foreign domination and enormous war
contributions exacted from all provinces
of Belgium.

pleasing the invader, as, for example,
the noble Brussels burgomaster who has
been in prison for the past two years
for trying to uphold the principles OF
civil liberty which for centuries has
been so dear to all Belgium.
"You have learned of the deporta-
tion Of our workmen into Germany
crime the horrors Of which should cause
more indignation throughout the world
than all other outrages against justice
and humanity. But Belgians still say,
like Patrick Henry: 'Give me liberty

Hoover Gets Busy Being As

Washington, June 22.-The senat,
interstate commerce committee today
decided to begin hearings next Tuesday
to include not only coal price fixing, but
also steel, copper, iron and other sup
plies.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
committee, declared that the hearings
were going to take a wide range because
of the "danger of labor disputes and
popular uprising against high prices, il
the present conditions continue"
In statement to the committee,
Senator Pomerene declared that coal
dealers made between 35 per cent and
40 per cent last year and that unless
something is done coal in Ohio at least
will go up to So a ton by fall.
Coal should be plentiful this fall
and winter,' Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Meyer said
The commerce commission has author
lied railroads to refuse to make, recon
signments of coal cars. This will keep
self-dumping cars on coal carrying lines
and will expedite coal shipments.
Another important step taken by the
interstate commerce commission to re
lieve the high coal prices, was reduction
in the number Of grades Of coal at the
head of the Great Lakes from 20 to less
than 10. The two million ton coal short
age there at the beginning Of the navo
cation is rapidly being overcome, it was
seated.
Representative Lenroot s amendment
limiting presidential power in the food
bill to acts specified in the measure
was passed by the house.
House leaders are determined to hold
up all legislation-even the first food
production bill-providing for food
census-until the senate passes the food
control bill, Il was learned today. This
bill. passed by both houses, never has
gone to conference.
On the first real test of strength, the
house repected, 1913 to 66, an amendment
that would have eliminated the powers
given the president in the bill to license
all food dealers in order to prevent un-
lawful price fixing. The amendment
offered by Lenroot was defended on the
ground that to license all dealers would
imply that all might violate the law.

Copenhagen, June 22.-Berlin and all
Germany are submarine mad. Men and
women with their faces pinched by lack
of adequate food, are heroically and
single mindedly fixed in their belief
that the thousand or more underwater
craft which the public is now led to
believe Germany has in the war zone,
will win for the kaiser.
No discomforts incident to achieving
that success are too great to be borne.
This is the picture of Germany, from
the German viewpoint, which the Unit
ed Press is able to present today. The
information was contained in letter
received here today by Danish resi-
dent with close friends in high official
positions in Berlin. Despite all diff
eulties Of food supply, the writer said
the German public had complete conf
denee in the u-boats' mastery of the
war.
England Their Object.
everyone believes England s defeat
Is the prime consideration, the Ger
man writer declared. "Germans re-
gard England as the one nation respon-
sible for prolongation Of the war. The
German government, the navy, the army
and the people, are not anxious to start
open hostilities against America. Eng
land is Germany 3 main enemy and Ger
many thinks through the submarines
she has found the weapon which will
bring England to her knees
HThe public expresses regret that
English women and children win have
to suffer through lack of food-but it
remembers thar the German women and
children have been suffering for a long
time on account Of England's starva-
tion blockade of Germany.
"Of course, there is suffering here
through lack of adequate food. The
children are growing thinner. All our
faces are pinehed-exeept those of the
food grafters and there are plenty of
these. 1t is true that we have only
enough to live on. But we are going to
go ahead and We are watching daily
the work of our submarines. In the
meantime. we have cheering news Of
vegetables and cereals that will be
plentiful soon. Also our meat ration
has been increased and We are told the
toll of the submarines viii be inereas-
ingiy larger
fswe do not know what viii happen
