Manly UncoverS Syndicate
Working for Big Egg Loot
"Buy Now, Sell Next Winter,
Realize Enormous Profits "
Is EntiCing Slogan of One
Concern
BY BASIL M. MANLY.

CHICAGO, June l6.-In my tour of
the vital food centers 1 have heard re-
liable reports that in addition TO specu-
lation in foodstuffs carried on by deal
ers. large syndicates are being formed
TO corner markets and reap large prof
its from the dining tables of the peo-
Pile
Advertising matter put out by Wood
and Denman, of Minneapolis, tells the
whole story Of many such syndicates,
planning to buy enormous quantities
of eggs now, storing them until next
winter at profits that may run as high
as $50 per cent.
1t is said formation of this "syndi-
cate" has been conducted with great
secrecy and circulars were sent only to
persons who answered an advertise
ment in newspaper classified columns
and who were believed safe"
l was able to secure a copy of the
circular.
In the circular the Syndicate" Of
Tered to advance 60 per cent Of the
purchase price OF any number of. cases
of eggs and led investors" on by
promises of apparent profits of $500 on
an investment of $3.50.
lis ii possible" asks the circular.
ito find any other investment that Is
surrounded with absolute safety, in
which you can invest and receive such
enormous returns on your money!"
The answer is mo" But the per-
son who falls for the game will find,
say those familiar with this kind of
Investment" that he will not have
$500 profits.
Before he gets started he may ex-
pect to find there is a commission to
be paid on the purchase of the eggs, a
commission and interest to be paid on
the so per cent advanced by the syn
dicate," storage charges to be paid on
the eggs, and other charges and COM
missions. TO be paid to the syndicate.
Thus. a large part of the expected
profits may be taken by the 'syndi-
cate" before the investor" gets into
the game.
But there is evidence that this is
only one of a chain of "get-rich-quick''
schemes to corner food markets and
trim suckers"
The evidence in this particular case
has been turned over to the Minnesota
committee of safety, which has al
most plenary powers, and brought 20
the attention of the federal district at
torney.
AS the law stands federal action
against such schemes can be had only
under the sherman act, with all the de-
lays and technical loopholes for which
1t Is famous.

BOGUS j. S. NOTE STIRRED
RESENTMENT IN JAPAN
Friction Is Dissolved Later by
Explanation That 1t Was
Not True

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Relations
between the United States and Japan,
upset and delicate bver misunderstand-
ing as to Americas purposes in China
were straightened out satisfactorily to-
day through explanations sent to the
American embassy in Toxic. At the
same time an investigation was started
to ascertain the source of bogus note
purporIing to have been cabled from
New York to Toxic, which aroused re-
sentiment in Japan.
Japanese resentment was stirred when
the Asahi printed the bogus note This
message made the United States say
that the Chinese revolution should be
uuelled because Germany and Russia
were about to make separate peace
and Japan intended to send her troops
into Manchuria.
The true note sent China merely ex-
pressed the hope of this government for
settlement Of internal troubles.
Subsequently the Japan Times took
exception to what 1t considered Amerf-
can interference in China without con-
sultation with Japan, though this gov
eminent was not obligated to make such
a consultation.
Later, the true text of the note, OBJ
tanned in Shanghai, was published in
Japan, dissipating the anger which the
bogus note had aroused
Realizing that the situation might de-
velop unpleasantly if the misapprehen-
sion was not Immediately corrected
this government informed its embassy
in Toxic of the true status of affairs,
with instructions to inform the Jap
anese government about 1t. This has
been done and Japan now understands
that the American note was based upon
no Interior purpose as to the far east.
The Asahi printed the false note under
New York date line. Secret service
men started tracing its origin today.
Secretary Lansing declared today that
whatever misunderstanding has arisen
was due solely to publication of the boz
gus note"
This, he explained, was corrected by
publication of the true text and by the
American instructions to the Toxic en-
baSSy.
Ambassador Sato has had recent ne
gotiations with Lansing, presumably or
the basis of the Chinese situation
| though Lansing said today that Safe
had not taken up the note question d.
rectly with him.

ARMY NEEDS 10000 MEN
TO REACH WAR STRENGTH
Baker Appeals to Americans
PatriOtiSm-Promotion
Chances Good

Newton D. Baker, secretary of war
is earnestly appealing to the patriotism
of the country to fill the gap in the
ranks of the regular army by 10000 en-
listments before June 80, 1917, thus
bringing the army up to its full war
strength of 100000 men. There are A.
600 men needed at once to complete the
new regiments of infantry and field ar
tillery. while $4,000 men are needed to
fill vacancies and ktep the regular army
up to it's required strength.
The regular army of the United States
is in crying need of men who can show
a measure of responsiveness and in
itiative. and any man who shows that
he Is wide-awake and more intelligent
than his companions is rapidly promot-
ed. Perhaps no field of endeavor in the
world today offers greater possibilities,
or greater measure of success than the
regular army. The new regiments will
demand that non-commissioned officers
and officers be procured, and the man
in the ranks is to have the first oppor-
tunity of making good. Georgians are
requested to do their part in bringing
the army up to war strength, and II a
man cannot enlist ne should encourage
enlistment by pointing out the oppor-
tunity for patriotic service and promotion
which the army today offers.
Ire orders incident to the appeal for
10000 men follow:
