Would End SpecuIation-

Washington.-A plea for realign- ment of the lumber industry so as to eliminate speculative forest owner ship, over cutting and tendency to disregard the public interest in regu- lating production, was made by the Forest Service, in a statement con- cured in by the Federal Trade Com mission, summarizing survey of the industry.

Berlin.-Ambassad James W. Ge- rard received instructions to request his passports. His plans for depart ure are not yet decided.
 Ambassador Gerard called upon Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the German for eign minister, to ask for his passports.
 Peaceful continuance of German American relations after the depart ure of the respective embassies at Washington and Berlin, in the sense indicated by President Wilson in his address to Congress, appears to be very slight. judging by all the infor- nation, some of the highest authenti- city, gathered by the Associated Press.
 It was stated positively in high po- litical circles that the German orders for the conduct of a submarine war could not and would not be modified; that in Germany the determination to enforce the prohibited zone order was absolute and final and that the only security for shipping was in avoidance of the prohibited zone.
 Germany, so the Associated Press was informed, resorted to this meas ure after the shameful" rejection by the entente powers of peace over lures, and only ofter the fullest de- termination and as the imperative weapon in defense of it's threatened interests; Germany cannot relin- quish this weapon-the only promis- ing a speedy end to the war-reluct- ant as Germany was to take this step.
 The government had hoped that the United States would see it in this light, and was and is actuated by no animosity to the United States in it's determination. Germany, therefore, so the high informant of the Associat- ed Press continued, is very keenly disappointed and grived by the terms of MT. Wilson's message, but the gov ernment cannot alter or modify the course upon which it has determined. This official added:
 ''We can only hope and trust that American ships and American citizens will avoid the danger zones laid down in the German memorandum"

If you come into a room on win-' ter's day, you do not need to see the stove or the radiator to know there is heat there.

NEGRO SOLDIERS RIOT

TWELVE MEET DEATH AT

Houston, Aug. 23.-Twelve white
men, civilians, police officers and
National Guardsmen, were killed ana
more than score of persons, men,

gro soldiers OF the Twenty-tourth
United States Infantry stationed
here to act as guards during the CON

known how many negroes are dead.
Capt. J. w. Mates, A Battery
Second Illinois Field Artillery, was
among the dead, being kill,,. when
he tried to demonstrate with the ne
gro soldiers. The outbreak is sup
posed to have originated in diff
Guilty which two negro soldiers had
with police officers who arrested
them for disturbing the peace and
sent them to the police station early
in the afternoon.
The firing began when an ambu-
iahSS Slailc luc StSllOu OC-

BIGGER MUNITION SUPPLY.
Uncle sam to Give Merchantmen
More Shells.

Washington, Aug. 23.-As a re-
suit OF the official report on the sub
marine destruction of the American
tank steamer Campana. which said
the gun crews supply of shells ran
out in the midst OF the fight, the am
munition supplied to armed mer-
chant ships will be doubled. The
Campana had $50 shells.
Naval officers have not accepted
as conclusive the unofficial report
that the failure of the gunners on
the Campana to strike the subma-
rine was the superior range of the
submarines guns, but believe 1t
more probable that 1t was a case of
low visibility, making the small at
tacking craft an exceedingly bad
target. 1t also pointed out that the
speed of the tanker was not great,
giving to the submarine an advan-
tage.
The Campana's captain and five of
the naval gun crew were captured
and taken on the submarine. Re-
ports have said the submarine was
later sunk by a French cruiser.
