MIR. UMBERGER,s REsIGNATIoN


TIME vacancy in the City Planning
Commission caused by the
resignation of Is. f. Umberger
will be hard to fill. Mr.. Umberger,
who has found the charm of rural
residence too great to be resisted, is
not only we'll versed in municipal law
and as such has been of valuable as
sistance to the commission in it's null
titude of activities, but he is a close
student of municipal development and
firm believer in the future of Harris
burg. His long career in Council we'll
fitted him for the work of helping to
plan the future of the city.
The Planning Commission will be
indeed fortunate if it is able to enlist
the services of another so we'll quail
fed to succeed him. The value of the
pioneer work which the commission
has done since it's organization will
not be fully realized for many years,
and the sense of a duty we'll per-
formed will be the only reward the
retiring commissioner will receive for
his services.

Ruthlessness.

aL.GAFr
Copenhagen, July IA late edi-
ton of the Lokal Anzeiger received
here claims that Chancellor Michaelis
is for the foreign policy and peace
terms expounded by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and the Pan-German
camp. 1t quotes conservative and ma
tional liberal members of the reichs-
tag who attended yesterdays confer
ence with Won Hindenburg, General
Won Ludendorff and Dr.. Michaelis as
being most favorably impressed with
the results of the conference.
The Lokal Anzeiger asserts that DR..
Michaelis already has established IRE
lations Of absolute unanimity and 20
operation with these military-political
chiefs.
The Berlin Boersen Courier under
stands that Chancellor Michaelis will
accept the %reichstag majority peace
resolution.
The Lokal Anzeiger, on the other
hand, says that DR.. Michaelis and
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg at a
reception to the conservative and ma
tional liberal members OF, the reichs-
tag showed full accord in views which
it is hard to reconcile with the Couri-
er's unconflrmed assertion, consider
ing Won Hindenburg's o~ft-repeated
statement, that peace must corre-
spond with the sacrifices made.
Z Chancellor Michaelis informed the
reichstag members hat his speech on
Thursday would deal with his foreign
and internal policy.

THE MARKET WORLDLY
CORN IS HIGHER
ON WAR REPORTS

Chicago, July 17.-suggestions q
prolonged hostilities instead OF resi-
indications of peace turned the corn
market upward today and
about sharp gains. Prices closed
frm, Ia to q IN net higher. Wheat
finished steady, 2 IL cents on to
81 1-2 cents up, oats varied from Il
cent net loss to IA cent advance AND
provisions closed unchanged to ~
cents lower.
Disappointment over the failure OF
peace talk to take definite form was
evident throughout the day IN tne
corn market. In this connection
decided majority Of traders appear
to believe that selling had been over
done and that a rally was inevitable;
Cold, wet weather in Illinois ana
other important states formed an ad-
ditional stimulus to buyers.
Irregularity Of fluctuations was the
most noticeable feature of the wheat
market. The September option sag
.ged under selling by house with
eastern connections.
Oats followed corn and underwent
q setback In price. Aggressive selling
on the part Of leading houses was
ascribed to favorable reports regard
ing the oats crop al a whole.
Lower quotations on hogs weak

GERMANY .BALKS
FINLAND PLANS
FOR FREEDOM
Intrigue with Socialists Has
Prevented Action on
independence.

Helsinfors, July 1S.-The proposed
PRONUNCIATION whereby Finland seeks
to wrest from Russia complete inde-
pendence has caused extreme tension
and nervousness. The situation is
complicated by the diets continual re-
fusal to grant a full $50, 900, 900 mark
loan to Russia and by a threat of a
general strike if the diet postpones the
passage of the new communal bill
a~bolishing party qualifications.
The latter was the subject OF the
demonstration in the senate last
night. If no compromise is reached
the bill will be on third reading to-
morrow, backed by socialists and a
handful of bourgeois members. It is
believed the present situation is due
to German intrigue.
Other bourgeois members Of Swed-
ish-Finnish nationality opposed de-
claring they, too, support in principle
complete independence. but that the
roposed law is in fact unconstitutional
and coup d'etat would be certain to
provoke Russia's resentment.

GAS BEING USED
AGAINST GERMANS

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France, July 1.-THE western part of
Lens, particularly hat known as the
Cite du Moulin, was subjected to a gas
attack early today. The first OF the
gas cylinders was projected into the
enemy's positions about one O'Clock
and projectiles and drums loaded with
deadly Cvapors were sprayed upon the
Germans for almost two hours. The
enemy attempted to cause a cessation
of the attack by putting an artillery
and gas shell barrage on that part of
our front from which he supposed the
gas was being circulated. In this he
failed and the operations proceeded
until the available drums had been
DISCHARGED.

Price of Raw Material and
Labor Both Compel Closer
Watch on Affairs.
LAUNDRYMEN PAYING MORE

Manufacturers in Omaha will pay
more attention to cost finding now
than they ever did before. They are
talking this more and more as the
cost of raw material and the cost of
production rises. Too little attention
has been paid, manufacture now
say, to the cost in various depart
ments OF the factories, and they rea-
lie now that il they are to meet
the increased cost of production with
out constantly raising the price of
their product, they must do it by
economy ana efficiency.
The laundrymcn in their state con-
vention at the Henshaw hotel took
the lead in this cost finding discus
sion. Laundrymen are counted among
the manufacturers. They hope to
practice greater economy.
Not to Increase Cost Of Service.
Their president announced that the
laundrymen have 10 intention of in
creasing the rates of their service,
though they are aware that the cost
Of raw materials has increased from
20 to 100 per cent since their last in
crease in rates went into effect ii
October. If efficiency in work and
economy in management is to over
come this divergence in cost of ma
terials, it is said 1t will mean thai

RECORD WEEK IN
RECRUITING HERE
More Men Join U. s. Forces
Than During Any Previous
Period Since Call Issued.
TOTAL IN ALL ARMS 683
OMAHA'S MUSTER ROLL.

More recruits enlisted here last
week than in any previous week since
the call for volunteers.
Total for the week was 6S5 in all
branches, making the grand total 1857
since the call.
The record was established in spite
of the marked falling off in enlist
ments Friday and Saturday. Friday
brought in only eighty-three and Sat-
urday only seventy-one. Other recent
days totals were we'll above 100.
Bad Weather Blamed.
Bad weather is partially blamed by
Lieutenant Waddell of the navy for
poor results the last two days. Ma
tional Guard recruiting in some towns,
before regular army recruiting began
efforts there, is given by Captain Nc
Kinley as the reason why his men
failed to find recruits at Clarinda. Ia,
and some other towns.
