There were no discordant elements pres ent at the meeting of the board of com missioners yesterday. The board was unanimous on everything except bill of $500 or so which Commissioner Truss pre- sented and recommended for payment. It represented the charges for repairs to one of the street rollers. Commissioner Bar Der thought perhaps the charges were ex- cessive and moved that it be referred to the city comptroller for investigation.

 State to Be AnnuUed
By FRED II. eoRMLEY

Montgomery, June 12.-sixteen trains will be eliminated from the passenger service of the Southern railway in Ala bama July 1 as a result of the decision of the public service commission Tues day afternoon, which granted the rail- roads petition, with minor exceptions. Every request of the railroad was granted. with the exception of those re- latng to the Selma -Thomasville division and the Blossburg short line.

RESPONSE TO LIBERTY LOAN
By HOLLAND

New York, June 12.-(Special )-Dwight w. Morrow, one of the partners of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, who spoke at Carnegie hall few evenings ago following the Secretary of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo, said among other things that the liberty loan was not to be over subscribed by merely thinking that it is an easy proposition to finance, but in- stead, by good understanding of the fact that it is a very hard proposition. In many parts of the country this belief has been just the one which voluntary asso- citations and organizations met with when they started out to bring people into good understanding of precisely what the loan means from all points of view
 When Secretary McAdoo announced a loan offering of $2,00O, 900, hoping that it would prove to be acceptable to the people of the United States, no one knew better than he how great the necessity was fully to inform the people, both of the opportunity and of the obligation. But there were only 8 few weeks in which to bring instruction of this kind to the plain people of the United States. Many of them had little or no understanding either of the magnitude of the amount or of the vital necessity that it should be divided up in proportionate parts among the people instead of being loan absorbed by bankers and men of great wealth.
 The campaign of educa tion which be- gan immediately after Secretary McAdoo made public the offer, is without prece- dent in effect and success in the history of national financing. When England and France jointly sought a loan of $5000oo,O ,OOO in the United States, many of the bank CTS of this country did not fully under stand the proposition and were for that reason reluctant to participate in the loan. It was necessary for a campaign of education to be carried on in order to enlighten the bankers. This was in- stituted under the leadership of J. P. Mor- gan and he was very successful teach- er for in due time this loan was fully subscribed. The banks and bankers of the United States had up to that time but slight experience in the financing Of loans to foreign nations.
 The campaign of education in the rural districts of the United States in behalf of the liberty loan had been successful wherever it was possible to carry it on. In some parts of the country, especially in the remote south or southwest, where the population is widely scattered so that there is great difficulty in reaching in- dividuals the responses to the offerings have been rather disappointing. But those who have been active in securing subscriptions do not attribute this to any conscious indifference on the part of k, -fa of fo Ia rl of in. formation That will be remedied when second offering of the loan is made.

|IS. .UNSWERVED
BY KAISERISM'S
PEACE REPLIES
Teuton Acceptance of Pope's
Profer Fails to Impress
Washington
WAR AIMS UNCHANGED
WASHINGTON. Sept. 90.

WASHINGTON, Sept. -.
csrmany's and Austrla's acceptance Of
N, pope.s peace offcr failed to swerve the
,.c,,ed states Government today in its an
,u,ncod determination to make no peace
while Kaiserism lasts.
Authorities declared that the war prep
.-atons will go on and that the struggle
,,sef will continue despite the Teuton re-
vn,A. They pointed out that the IIohen-
..fsrns always talk peace with their mouths
~hile their hearts plot murder and in
triguc.
The Bernstorff $4,000 fund to influence
congress was held up as striking example
n what German peace talk amounts to,
rernstorff was talking pence, but It was a
nsace that would tie Americas hands and
keep one more enemy Off Germany's back
PROBABLE RESULTS
a. International experts viewed the re-
,es the following effects are likely:
The German Government will again GO
hsfore its people with the plea that 7,
,ccepted the peace offer, while the other
natIons scorned It; therefore, the war from
M Teuton standpoint Is one of defense
Tgds for a time will again soldify the
German people behind their Government
\ probably.
The Teuton acceptance will tend to re-
.ngorce the pacifists and cutters among
s,her nations in their demands for cessa-
t,on Of hostlities. The effect in Russia
NAV be unwholesome, and while It will
Give American cutters more ammunition,
I, VIII not alter the general determination
"a asht it out until democracy is safe
The replies indicate to the real warning
,lenents that their victory is really nearer
than they had supposed, for these answers
show that Germany really is desperately
wanting peace before her losses and
sbortages become more overwhelming.
Tbe United States has stated unmistakablN
shat there must be change of spokesmen
for Germany, but the Teuton notes fail to
riye any new peace basis by conceding any
such proposition.
The Teuton answer declares a hope that
ths Popes efforts will succeed and that the
world for years will be free Of fighting or
the principle of limited armaments and the
triumph of international right and justice
freedom of the seas, compulsory arbitration
Of International difficulties.
American authorities maintain that wheT
the Teutons talk of having international
right and justice prevail they talk of an
impossible thing under a Teuton regime
which regards treaties as scraps of paper
The Teutons express the view that, will
he general principles of disarmament anC
The like settled. the matters of territQria
division can be settled at the peace table a.
the Pope suggested.
Meantime the storm clouds about Ger
many grow darker. Authorities here fore
see the possibility that Argentine will adj
troops on the west front and. with Amer
lea sending fresh, virile troops abroad il
the next few months, the chances OF sweep

U. S. SLEUTHS REPORT
NEW MEAT MONOPOLY
Big Packers Alleged to Have
Apportioned Territory to
Thwart Competition
WASHINGTON SEPT %

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 20
\ new meat trust more insdious in its
monopolistic activities than any which have
been hunted in the past by government trust
busters, has been discovered by the Federal
Trade Commission. In the course of its in
vestgation into meat prices, made at the
behest of President Wilson, the Commission
has unearthed a large amount OF evidence
showing that certain large meat packers
are carrying on their business along monop.
ostic lines
The Commissions investigators have dis
covered that one of the new tricks of the
packers is to give each other a free field in
certain territory and on certain products.
For instance It has been found that one
large packer of bacon knows that he will
have no competition from his rival meat
packers in a certain group OF cities. An
agreement has been reached, ii is alleged,
whereby the other packers keep out OF this
particular Company's territory 80 far as the
bacon trade is concerned, IL the first COM
pany refrains from active competition with
others in beef, hams OF other varieties OF
dressed meat.
TIE big packers It Is alleged, have ap-
portoned the entire country with the excep'
ticn of the Pacific coast, in such a way as
to exclude fair competition calculated 70
reduce prices in the butchers stalls.
Francis j. Heney, the trade commission
expert in the meat investigation. has com
pied a mass of evidence as to practices
such as that outlined above and the COM
missions report on the price of meat viii
he based largely on these revelations.
The commission has an office in Chicago
from which it has sent out investigators
charged with making the most comprehen'
siye Inquiry into the meat packing business
ever conducted by the Federal Government
Commissioner Davies has charge Of the in
vestgation and is assisting Mr.. Heney.
The evidence discovered by the trade
commission has been made accessible to the
Department of Justice which also has some
of it's experts detailed to search for facts
| and it Is probable that new prosecutions
| under the Sherman law and under the trade
| commission law viii be brought as a re.
sult of the disCoNeTies.
