REPORT GOETHALS
READY TO resign
Will Quit Corporation if Wilson
Thinks Best.

Gen. George w. Goethals, general
manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation yesterday refused TO
either deny or affirm the report that
he had written President Wilson and
suggested that If in the judgment of
the Executive the shipbuilding be
expedited by his resignation. he would
be glad to tender it. Members of the
Shipping Board refused to discuss the
matter, but it is known that severa!
members doubt that Gen. Goethals
made any such offer.
At the White House it was admitted
that letter had been received from
Gen. Goethals, but it was stated posi-
lively that it had contained no direct
tender of a resignation. As to whether
there was any inference that the
canal builder stood ready to resign II
the President thought it best. the
White House maintained silence.
The consensus of opinion in official
circles was that even though Gen.
Goethals indicated a willingness t.
resign, the President would not ac-
cept his resignation at this time.
1t is understood that within the
last two days contracts for a large
number of both steel and wooden
ships have been signed and that
contracts for the two yards for the
construction of fabricated steel
ships have been put into shape for
submission to contractors. 1t is ex-
pected that these contracts will be
let sometime early next week. The
work of the Shipping Board and
Fleet manager has been complet ted
and it is understood that all points
of variance have been compromised.
Further changes, however may. be
necessary as the result of sugges-
tions from the men to whom the
contracts were offered.
The plan for Communicating
ships will probably be announced
tomorrow or Monday. The State De-
partment is understood to have sug-
gested several minor changes in
the plan submitted by the Shipping
Board and these are expected to
be settled upon not later than Mon
day.
1t is intimated that President Will
son is in close touch with the work
being done and approves of the
caution exercised. When all that
has been accomplished in the last
four months has been made public,
II is stated, the public will be amaz-
ed at the extent OF the work done
by the Shipping Board and Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.

Conspirators Menace Russian
Republic, Says Correspondent

Workingmen's Delegates early last
month urged this body in a violent
speech to repudiate the provisional
government in Petrograd. Two days
later he was arrested as an agent
provocateur'' in the employ of the
followers of the former Gar. The
same thing happened to the presi-
dent of the council of delegates in
Waitka. This worthy. who, on the
day before his arrest. in a speech
urged the soldiers to grasp the hand
of their German brothers" and not
to fight again, also turned out 10 be
an agent OF the reactionaries. Simi-
lar cases were reported from Odessa.

Would Re-estabIIsh Autocracy.
No less dangerous is another class
of reactionaries. which fights the pro-
visional government openly and con-
ducts an extensive propaganda for
the re-establishment Of the autocracy,
among the ignorant and bigoted
peasants in the most rural districts.
One of the leaders of this group
of enemies of freedom. the Duma
Deputy Nowitzki, of Kherson, made
tour through his large election dis
trict and implored his constituents to
place the former Gar on the throne
again and not to recognize the inf
del new government.

Skyline" Logging Method of
Western Camp.

In the logging camps of Oregon
and Washington a skyline" method
of logging is proving much cheaper
and more efficient than the former
method Of dragging out logs from the
forest by a donkey engine and cables
operating on the ground. The skyline
plan is to run a cable through blocks
or pulleys suspended at great height
on giant trees, so as to form a sort
of trolley line. by which the logs are
hoisted into the air and then hauled
over the tops of ordinary trees and
other distractions to the rollway,
where they are loaded aboard freight
cars for shipment The donkey en-
gine which operates the skyline has
five drums, including two for main
lines and two for trip lines The
top cable, from which the log is sus-
pended, is one of the main lines,
while the other is used to haul the
log. In operation the top cable is
lowered with its block, or trolley
directly over the log to be picked
up; it is then pullel taut, raising
the log with it by means of a "chok-
err" or steel tongs. In the air a log
can, Of course, be moved much faster
than on the ground. An interesting
illustration of this form of logging
appears in the August Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

The Largest American Flag.

The city of ST. Louis. Mo, possesses
the largest American flag in existence,
as far as is known. 1t is $50 feet long
and rs feet wide. Each Of the thirteen
stripes is six feet wide. Iamigne a plot
OF ground containing 11.7o0 square feet
almost one-quarter OF an acre-and
you will have an idea of the size Of
the flag. When used in parades it re-
Guires two hundred people to carry il.
But on account OF its great width it
cannot be carried through many of the
streets of the city.

Propose Electric Lights
For Lincoln Highway

The lighting of Lincoln Highway by
electricity from coast to coast is the
ultimate aim of a movement set on
foot recently in Ohio. The Stark
County members of the Jovian
League, which is a national organiza-
ton composed OF men connected with
the electrical trade, have proposed
that this order, through its branches
located in various parts of the country
indorse and work for such an i'm
provement. The plan has been weh
received in many quarters. Its
orisinators estimate that the cost of
illuminating the thirty-three miles of
the Highway which lie within Stark
CountryS would be 1900 per year.

Barber-Chair Attachment SimpIiies
Shampooing.

a narrow drain board of aluminium
has been devised which attaches to a
barber's chair in place of a headrest
and enables the barber to give a Gus
toner a shampoo without the latter's
leaving his seat. After the back of
the chair has been lowered to an al
most horizontal position the customer
rests the back of his head on the end
or this board. The outer end of the
attachment slants down to a wash
stand, and as the barber cleanses and
rinses the hair the water drains OF
into the bowl. The device is illus
trated in the Auguf Popular Me-

(By the international News serVice.)
Zurich, July 2I.-A Swiss newspaper
correspondent who recently returned
from Petrograd writes in the Neue
Zuericher Zeitung:
The Russian revolution has to be on
guard continually against the sinister
powers the supporters Of the former
autocratic regime, who are at work
among the ignorant masses and still
hope to be able to overthrow the new
government.
Many of the reactionary leaders
have been imprisoned or shot, but
the government has been unable to
get hold of all OF them. The most
dangerous ones pretend to become
revolutionists and are now carrying
on their nefarious work under the
mask of ardent supporters Of the
new order of things.
Most of the disorder reported from
different parts of Russia in the last
two or three months has been caused
by these dangerous elements.
The principal field of the reaction
ary conspirators is the smaller pro-
vincial towns and the rural districts,
where they work with the old weap-
ons of the Black Hundred'-lies,
slander and agitation.
Petrograd and Moscow, the centers
of the revolution, are unfavorable
territory for the enemies of liberty,
but their activities are plainly visible,
even in these two cities. Here they
masquerade as ultra-Radicals and try
to bring about uprisings of the ex-
treme Socialists and anarchists by
preaching class hatred and terrorism
of the worst kind.
Try to InfIame Soldiers.
At the same time, they try to in
flame the soldiers supporting the new
government against the Socialistic
workingmen. In Petrograd they re-
Gently distributed many thousands of
copies of a pamphlet which urged the
soldiers to break the power of the
labor organizations and Socialists, to
overthrow the provisional government
and to establish a military dictator
ship.
In another pamphlet they urged the
workingmen to rebel against the tyr
amy of the soldiers and the bour-
geois government and to proclaim a
Socialistic republic.
The conspirators are everywhere. in
all walks of life. Six of them sue
ceeded in getting themselves elected
to the Petrograd Council of Soldiers
and Workingmen's Delegates, where
they posed as the most radical of
radicals until they were unmasked,
arrested and summarily dealt with a
few weeks ago.
Acts of Terrorism Committed.
In many instances the reactionary
agitators commit acts of terrorism to
create excitement and disorder. One
of their favorrte methods is to dash
through the streets of Petrograd and
Moscow at a terrific speed in black
automobiles, firing shots and throw
ing anarchistic handbills among the
crowds. If the troops and the militia
attempt to stop them, they resist with
rifles and revolvers, and in nine cases
out Of ten they manage to escape.
While the propaganda Of the re-
dictionaries is hopeless in the two
capitals, 1t has reached dangerous pro-
portions in the provinces, where they
have succeeded in many cases in de-
ceiving the revolutionary working
men and getting themselves elected or
appointed to positions Of trust and
power.

the work OF the leaves comes to an
end. The machinery OF the leaf fac
tory is dismantled. SO to speak. the
chlorophyll is broken up into the var
ious substances OF which 1t Is COM
posed, and whateevr food there Is on
hand is sent to the body Of the tree to
be STORED up for use IN the spring. All
that remains in the coli cavities Of the
leaf is a watery substance in which a
few oil globules and crystals. and a
small number Of yellow. strongly re-
fractive bodies can be seen. These give
the leaves the yellow coloring so
familiar IN autumnal foliage.
1t often happens, however. that there
is more sugar in the leaf than can be
readily transferred back to the tree.
When this Is the case the chemical
combination with the other substances
produces many colored tints varying
from the brilliant red Of the doSwood
to the more austere red-browns of the
oak. In coniferous trees, which do not
lose their foliage in the fall the green
coloring matter takes on slightly
brownish tinge, which, however. gives
way to the lighter color in the spring.
While the color of the leaf is chang
ing, other preparations are being made
At the point where the stem of the
leaf is attached to the tree, special
layer of cells develops which grad

the leaf. At the same time nature

WHY Leaves Chang. Their Color.

Why Leaves Change Their Color.
1t requires no vivid imagination to
picture Mother Nature going about

paint with which she colors the leaves
of the trees and other plants and

In reality the change in coloring is the

takes place in numberless tiny cells Of

POTATOES! POTATOES!
Are They Going to Be Scarce or Are
They Going to Be cheaper?-Flower
Offers His Views On tho Situation.

What about potatoes? This is the one
big question in every household. No
two persons agree on this question.
Some think they will be cheaper and
others that they will be scarce. We
are offering our advice and telling you
why we are Of this opinion.
First, it is generally known fact
that the early frosts have ruined an
enormous amount of stock This morn
ing we received messages from Mime
sofa and Colorado from our represen-
tatives. In Minnesota the cold weather
has played havoc with the crop, ana
the potatoes that were dug previous to
the big freeze can not be shipped be-
cause of car shortage. In Colorado
the potatoes are frozen, in some places
snow has fallen to the depth of several
inches and growers do not expect to
dig them at ALL The stock that is al
ready dug is. being bought at high
prices and it is doubtful whether or not
we will be able to buy western spuds at
any price. Again, we know that cheap
potatoes is an absurdity, as $40 hogs.
$1.25 corn and 1925 wheat means at
least f$2 potatoes. The price Of sugar
was 'thought, to, be. failing. and you
were; advised not to buy, that it would
be cheaper Now you can't buy sugar
at any price. This same situation will
exist with the potato crop. They will
tell you that they will be cheaper, but
yet you can't buy them. -!

them today We have no intention Of
boarding them for higher prices, and
