The exact nature OF the mission at

the French authorities to change the
national standard. or rather TO add a
religious emblem In silk to the existing
standard, which Is the tricolor. If this
Is done. the end of tho war Will be
near. This is the message OF the I'm

SOCIALIST DEMANDS
MOB'S PUNISHMENT

NEW YORK. July 3.-"Swift and Sc
we're punishment" for the mobs which
wiped out the negro section OF East
st. Louis and burned their property
was demanded by the Socialist Lead
er, William English Walling, in a
telegram 10 President Wilson today.
Such punishment Is necessary, Wall
ing said, because "of the dangerous
effect Of race riots in America on
revolutionary Russia, South America
and japan"
Walling characterized the uprising
as partly result OF German agents ef
forts to stir up a race war TO keep
American troops at home and partly
the result OF an attempt by the South
ern States to keep the negro under
their thumb.
Speaking as a member of the eXecu.
tive committee OF the National Asso.
citation for the Advancement OF Col.
ored People, Walling IN his telegram
said:
"savages at East St. Louis delIber-
ately prepared this riot for a whole
month. Without military excuse. II
was worse, therefore. than anything
the Germans did in Belgium, and
compared only to the Jewish massa-
ores under the Gar.
THE pretext OF labor Invasion is
invalid. There Is no oversupply OF
labor anywhere In the country today"

KILLING Of DAIRY
COWS MAY BOOST
milk TO Is CENTS

wRIGHTSToWN, n. J.. July a.
Unless the State or Federal Govern
ment intervenes at once to check the
sale of miIch cows for butchering,
New York, Philadelphia, and New
Jersey will be paying 25 cents a quart
for milk within one year, and VIII
md IL scarce at that price.
This is the opinion OF many OF the
biggest farmers in the great New Jer-
sey dairy belt, OF which Wrightstown
is the center. The foundation Tor
their prediction Is confirmed In the
records of public sales OF live stock
in Burlington county during the last
month, in which so per cent OF the
mich cows have been purchased by
butchers to be converted into beef. in
dozens OF instances the butchers have
outbid the farmers who wanted the
cows for dairying purposes.
Farmers consider IL OF sufficient I'M
portance to comment upon the fact
that a large percentage OF the pur-
chasing agents for the butchers are Of
German lineage. The governing mar
ket prices OF beef, however, would
permit any butcher to come into the
sales mart and bid successfully
against what a farmer would think
he could pay for a COW for his dairy.
Yet 1t is a significant fact that no
more certain scheme for Gripping the
dairy output and stock breeding could
be devised 1han the slaughtering of
mich cows by the hundreds as at pres
ent.
1t takes three years to raise a COW
to milk-producing age. Many farmers
are selling their herds, having become
dissatisfied with the dairy business
and its small and uncertain profits and
will raise no more cows. and II will be
ten years before the herds. already
depleted this year can be restored,
eten under Government supervision.
The New Jersey State agricultural
authorities are investigating the con-
ditions and are alarmed by what they
have discovered. The dairying de-
partment may make a special report
TO Governor Edge and urge some rec
concentrations for checking the rapid
determination OF the dairy animals.
The department has discovered that
IL Is largely the farmers who keep
records OF their dairy costs and profits
who are selling their herds. These
farmers blame the present high cost
OF feed and the wholesale milk prices
for their quitting the business. II is
| asserted by state experts that the
average dairymen are actually selling
milk at wholesale at a loss OF from l
to 3 cents a quart ON each quart pro-
Guccd.
The summer grazing will help in
reducing the cost OF keeping the
herds for the next few weeks, but the
rtstement is made that by midsum-
mer the prices to the farmer must
advance TO 8 cents a quart. This
means milk at IL or IS cents a quart
| In the cities. Babies first" will GER
| tsirly become an official milk slogan
In many OF the markets supplied by
the central Jersey diaries before the
end OF the year.
when the farmers on the great
| 5.0Oo-acre tract taken by the Govern
ment for its army cantonment, near
wriGhtstown. begin to move out Of
| their homes next week. about 900 pro-
ducing milch cows will be forced on
the market

Half-grown boys and girls were
scattered among the more mature
rioters. When three negroes were
shot down at collingsville and State

There was general praise for the
