STEEL INDUSTRY EXPECTING RADICAL
 FEDERAL ACTION
With This Feeling Prevail ing There Is a Strong Tendency to Price
 Reductions

New York, September 2-The feeling that has prevailed throughout the steel Industry for several weeks that Wash
 ngton action governing prices will be radical. is being expressed in further 'concessions in prices of $4 to s5 per ton on semi-finished steel and of g to S4 per ton on steel making pig iron in the Fittsburg district. Tn other sections sell ers are more reserved and are disposed to await developments. but there are ru- more of concessions of several dollars per ton being made on southern iron for ship ment into the southwest.
 It is pointed out that prices recently accepted as the market on semi and fully finished steel products for relatively early shipment are really an abnormal over growth the clearing away of which will be healthful, The bulk of the great ton- mage sold by steel mills has been on con- tracts for future delivery at much lower prices. The mills are making no effort to sell: in fact, they are still restraining buyers of nearly all products. Current business, even including government or ders, is scarcely equal to one-half of mill capacity and with shipments of nearly 90 per cent of capacity. the un- tilled tonnage carried by all of the large companies is being steadily reduced.
 The export embargo has effectually checked shipments of steel plates, but small difficulty is being met in getting licenses for shipments of steel shapes, some new sales being made even for ship ment to Japan. New inquiries for tank and ship plate in the last few days have amounted to 100000 tons, including near ly 45,00O tons, mainly for export to Japan. Sales of tank plate have beR made at cents per pound, a decline Of cents per pound from recent sales.
 The emergency fleet corporation has placed contracts for additional fabricated steel ships, requiring in all 392, 700 tons of steel plates and shapes. The steel building contracts previously noted will require 66,000 tons of steel, or total of 4SS,000 tons to be delivered in the next 12 to IS months It is understood that most of this material will be furnished by independent mills as the United States Steel corporation has already furnished more than two-thirds of all the govern ment orders heretofore placed. The ship yards that have been awarded contracts hy the emergency fleet corporation con tinue to place numerous orders for ma chinery and machine tools.

1t IS not necessary to maCcn coats and skirts this season, if we follow the fashion that has appeared in high places.
 New York, September 2.-Coats and skirts are not alike even in the most expensive of the new autumn models
 This verdict by the designers of cold weather clothes may please vast ma jority of women, but it will undoubt- edly lead to confusion.
 If every woman were an artist in clothes she would be allowed this lax ity of choice as to what jacket to wear with what skirt; but the selection of clothes Is not an art that Is easily learned, although one often believes that it is inherited.
 Going Back to the Old Ways
 For several decades in our history it was not considered necessary to match the garments that contributed to an entire costume When one-piece gowns were the rule of fashion there was not much variety allowed In the n1ingling of colors and fabrics, but there was rarely any marked desire on the part of women to harmonize the wrap or coat with the skirt until the mannish coat suit became the leading fashion of the civilized part of the universe.
 For over quarter of century the Anglo-Saxon woman has looked upon the suit cut from one piece of cloth as the correct thing to wear She has ordered as many of these suits as her purse allowed and she has rarely con sidered herself well dressed unless she owned such a costume and kept 1t in readiness for constant service.
 At the beginning of the autumn of t917, after 25 years of training in one department of dress, she Is asked to consider the new fashion. which is, after all. revival of an old one. She is told that she can wear a checked skirt of cloth and a cutaway coat of velveteen; that she can add a short jacket of black satin to blue and gray plaid homespun skirt. And she may wear a loose, knee length beige coat with plain or pleated satin skirt.
 You can easily see the danger of put ting into the hands of the mass of women such freedom of choice. Let us hope that the use of lf-rontrol shown Tn choosing coats and skirts Of the same material will guide the ma jority of women in the selection of their new costumery.
 And, mind you, there may be third garment added to the coat and skirt to make the costume complete, in the form of a waistcoat that takes on the proportions of that worn by Louis XIV.
 This waistcoat may be in colors in white or in black satin embroidered in metallic threads. It is nothing more or less than a sleeveless blouse that Is often girdled In at the waist. It's on-

.ORDER OuT OF CHAOS

The Fort Oglethorpe camp was orig inally intended for the training of about 25OO men and the sudden group ing of 5000 individuals has placed an almost unbearable task on the officers of the post.

However, in the bat teries the men were In tents and as it trained several times during tho week it was rather uncomfortable even with all that the officers were doing for them.

EXAMINING CANDIDATES

The medical department has been ex- amining the candidates throughout the week. At the close of the examina x tion comes the vaccination if the can . didate has been passed. If not he is allowed to return to work. but it Is understood that within a few days notices of their discharges from the service will be received. That is the straw that breaks the camel's back The men who are here want to stay here, and it is tough to get canned through a physical disability,
 Regarding the work, 1t has not been so very hard thus far. The physical drills are the most arduous, as many office men are not accustomed to grea exertion and Capt. Q. 0. Ellis, co author of the Plattsburg manual is a very healthy person and when he gets through the exercises the candidate Is also quite through.

Every disloyal word and act helps
the kaiser to beat us. His tools and
agents are everywhere. The little
New Ulm episode, magnified a thou
sand times, flashed to Germany and
Russia, may under the cifcumstan-
ces have done more damage to our
cause than a German regiment could
do on the field.
A dislOyal word, sheer at the
flag, may keep some one from enlist
ing or from contributing to the Lib
erty Loan or the Red Cross fund,
in fact. the only effect it can have is
to help the kaiser to beat us. And
anything that an American dees to
help the kaiser, is treason, and should
be dealt with as such.
I have more respect for the rattle
snake in his lair and the skunk IN
his den than l have for the sedition
and treason that not only turks but
actually stalks in our midst.
We are at war, and our slogan
should be. down with the enemy
For if we do not down him he will us.
The penalties for treason should
be hammered into the heads of dis
loyal Americans, by enforcement, if
necessary, but in any event to the
extent that traitors, not in the &C
tual pay of the kaiser, will take no
tice.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-08-21

Editor Pioneer: The patriotic
meeting here the other night was
supposed to be a rebuke to the dis
loyal conduct of especially certain
persons in New Ulm. The gentle
tone of this rebuke was altogether
too tame. We are not now concern
ed with who started the the war or
what the purpose was.
We are at war. That means that
the enemy will cut our Threats; that
Germany will kill us, if they can.
There may be two sides to every
question. There are two sides to
this war. America is Oh one side
and Germany on the other But
there are no two sides to whether
we Americans shall be loyal to our
country.
We must be loyal Americans. or
traitors. There is no middle
ground.
sWe are at war Our boys will
soon be torn to shreds by the enemy.
The flower of American manhood
will blister in the heat of No Mans
Land.
We are mot even concerned with
the cause of the war. I'VE are at
war to win, and so is Germany.
Everything we are. have and hope
to be is at stake. This is no time
to argue. The only way to convince
the kaiser is to crush him.
