Just Price Must Be
Paid for Everything

therefore take the liberty of
stating very candidly my own view
of the situation and of the princi-
Piles which should guide both the
government and the mine owners and
manufacturers of the country in this
difficult matter.
A just price must, Of course. be
paid for everything the government
buys. BY a just price mean a
price which will sustain the indus
tries concerned in a high state Of
efficiency, provide a living for those
who conduct them, enable them TO
pay good wages and make possible
the expansions OF their enterprises
which will from time 10 time become
necessary as the stupendous under
tskings of this great war develop.
We could not wisely or reasonably
do less than pay such prices. They
are necessary for the maintenance
and development of industry; and
the maintenance and development Of
industry are necessary for the great
task we have in hand.

Appeals to Loyalty as Un-
selfish as That of
Soldiers
Unusual Profits
Won't Be Tolerated
Ship Owners Censured for
Exacting High Freight
Rates

Washington, July 11.-President Will
son appealed to the business interests
of the nation to-day 10 show the same
unselfsh loyalty to the country as its
soldiers and sailors.
To this plea the President coupled
the warning that just prices would be
maintained by the government, that
one price for the government and the
public must prevail and that no at
tempt to extort unusual profits would
be tolerated.
"Your patriotism" he said, "is Of the
same self-denying stuff as the patriot
ism of the men dead and manned in
the fields of France. or it is no patriot.
ism at all. Let us never speak, then,
of profits and patriotism in the same
sentence
The ship owners Of the country were
censured by the President for main
tanning prohbitve ocean freight rates.
The appeal follows:
My fellow countrymen:
The government is about to at
tempt to determine the prices at
which it will ask you henceforth to
furnish various supplies which are
necessary for the prosecution of the
war and various materials which will
be needed in the industries by which
the war must be sustained. We
shall, of course, try TO determine
them justly and to the best sdvsn-
tage of the nation as a whole; but
justice is easier to speak Of than to
arrive at. and there are some consid-
erations which hope we shall keep
steadily in mind while this partlcu-
lar problem of justice is being
worked out

Patrio ,ism Has Nothing
To Do with Profits

But / trust that we shall not sur
round the matter with mist Of SEN
timent. Facts are our masters nov.
We ought not to put the acceptance
of such prices on the ground of pa
triotism. Patriotism has nothing 70
do with profits in a case like this.
Patriotism and profits ought never
in the present circumstances be
mentioned together. Il is perfectly
proper to discuss profits as a matter
Of business, with a view 10 main

cal months, when the liberty of free

self trembles in the balance. but II
would be absurd 20 discuss them as
motive for helping TO serve and save
our country.
Patriotism leaves profits out OF
the question. In these days Of our
supreme trial. when we are sending
hundreds Of thousands of cur young
men across the seas 70 serve great
cause, no true man who stays behind
10 work for them and sustain them
by his labor will ask himself what he
is personally going TO make out OF
that labor. No true patriot will per-
nit himself TO take toll of their hero

By the shedding of their blood. He
will give as freely and with as un-
stinted self-sacrifice as they. When
they are giving their lives will he not
give at least his money?
hear it insisted that more than a
lust price, more than a price thai

paid; that il is necessary 70 pay
very liberal and unusual profits in
order to stimulate production; that
nothing but pecuniary rewards will
do-rewards paid in money, not in
the mere liberation of the world. |

argue thus do not stop to think what

After Hecht's internment the follow
ing statement was issued by Chandler

We have just been advised. to our
great surprise and regret, that the
government has seen necessary to take
action looking to the internment OF
Mr.. Rudolf Hecht.
"Mr. Hecht became associated with
US before the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, and is a gentleman of es.
timable business reputation. He ap-
piled for citizenship in 1918, and in
tended to make the United States his
permanent home. His conduct while
in our organization has been beyond
reproach, and devoted to the legiti-
mate business interests of the firm.
Our association with him has been
such that we cannot conceive OF his
doing anything detrimental to this
country in the interest of any other
We trust that there will prove to have
been some mistake in the matter"
Before going with Chandler & Co.,

Secretary of War Informed
Situation Is Getting Be-
yond State Authorities
Industries Halted;
Workers Threatened
Troops Needed to Check
Anarchists, Determined
to Block War Plans
frrnr In. T-huns Bureau !

Washington, July 1.-THE !. W. w.
has begun a reign of terror in the Far
West, Secretary Of War Baker was in.
formed to-day. The agitation, II was
reported, is paralyzing industries
some of which are necessary to the
prosecution of the war. The agita-
tors activities have progressed, it was
said, to point where the local and
state authorities are unable TO cope
with them, and situation is being fast
created which will require Federal
troops to protect life and property
The coming control Of the National
Guard by the Federal government will
take militia protection away from the
states.
Secretary Baker has been informed
that in the northern part of Idaho, a
large part of Montana, especially in
the Butte region; practically all Of
the State of Washington, OF Arizona,
and throughout scattered communities
of Oregon and California. the l. W. W.
is paralyzing industries and terrifying
the labor population.
Workers Inundated
Many lumber camps have been COM
PEELED 10 close down; some mines have
suspended operations, more are threat
ened with conditions which promise tJ
force them to stop work, and now the
|. W. W. has invaded the agricultural
districts, organizing farm laborers and
employees of related industries, intlmi-
dating and threatening laborers who
refuse to join the organization.
The |. ". w. agitators are threaten
ing to burn the hay, wheat and other
crops after they havo been gathered.
THE communities invaded are thor
ouehly frightened, the people fearing
violence to themselves and destruction
Of their property. The sheriffs and
police are unable 10 maintain order,
with conditions approXimating anarchy
approaching.
Secretary Baker is in thorough touch
with the situation, but was said to-day
TO be awaiting formal requests from
tho Governors Of the states affected
before ordering Federal troops to pro-
tect them. He was said by persons
who have discussed the !. W. W.
menace with him TO be perfectly Will.
ing 10 act whenever the Governors OF
the respective states make applications
for assistance.
Wages Their Pretext
u was reported to-day that he has
already ordered troop, to the state OF
Washington, but this report could not
be verified.
The l. W. W. activities were. said TO
have caused the most widespread
alarm, as the people feel absolutely
HELPLESS without military protection.
The Industrial Workers of the World,
who are opposed to war, were said TO
have made the question of wages,
which was not a live question until
thew began their agitation, the preteXt
for their activities. They were de
clared TO be boldly proclaiming that
wage demands are merely the begin
ming of their programme, which calls
for the destruction of industries until

troll of production over to them. me

How Losses Fluctuate

Fluctuations in the U-boat campaign
from week 10 week since the most seri-
Gus losses were inflicted is shown in
the following table:

IA British Ships
Sunk; U-Boat
Toll Decreases
Lowest Figure, Except One,
Recorded Since Ruthless
Campaign Began

London, July 11.-To-day's Admiralty
report on shipping losses for last week
shows that, with one exception, enemy
U-boats had less success against Brit
ish vessels than in any week since the
ruthless" submarine campaign was in
augurated. Among British merchant
men of more than 1900 tons, only
fourteen were sunk, while three small
cr craft and seven fishing vessels were
also sent down.
The lowest figure previously record
cd was that for the week ended March
10. when thirteen large British ships
and four smaller ones were destroyed.
The most disastrous week was that
ended on April 2l, when forty capital
ships and fifteen smaller ones were
sunk.
For a month the submarine "wave"
has been ebbing, and apparently the
comparative ineffectivcness of last
weeks work represented the bottom of
the curve. which presumably will start
upward this week toward a new crest,
as another feet of the submersibles,
newly outfitted, issues from the Ger
man bases. Nevertheless, naval au
thorities here are gratified at the fig
urcs issued to-day, and point to a
dwindling average in U-boat destruc-
tiveness observed since the BLACK
week. last April.
Proves Patrols Effectiveness
The drop in the number OF sinkings
is attributed largely to the increasing
effectiveness of the joint British and
American warship patrol. But it is
also admitted that as the submarines
expend their torpedoes they gradually
withdraw to home ports to wait until
the next feet is ready for operations.
There is no means of knowing how
many, if any, of the enemy underwater
craft were destroyed during the week,
but the published figures indicate that
they have had hard going recently.
The number of arrivals and depart
ures OF ships of all nationalities, $500,
compares favorably with that of other
weeks. Seventeen British vessels. in
Guiding four not previously reported.

GREAT PATRIOTIC SPIRIT
DISPLAYED IN
Hunts Theatre Was Filled With People
Wednesday Night at the Preparedness
Meeting

The patriotic spirit held swayin Wildwood last Wednes.
day night when the gteat preparedness meeting was held in
Hunts theatre.
There is a lot of people on Five Mile Beach who have
not been saying much during the national crisis of the past
two or more years. They early realized the exposed position
of our homes and property and that in the event of war it
would be necessary to take protective measures. Therefore,
our people were tuned up for the preparedness meeting and
sung the patriotic airs, which were thrown on the screen,
with a vim that BODIES no good for an attacking enemy if it
should come to that.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the Wild
wood Battalion, a military company which has been drilling
and practicing in the arts of war for nearly two years past.
Led by Huebner's band they marched to the theatre, under
the leadership of Capt. John E. O'Daniel, and took seats on the
platform. The boy scouts, led b fScoutmaster Walter Beers,
followed and took front seats. o. l. Blackwell called the
meeting to order and announced John w. Young as chairman
of the meeting. Seated on the platform also was Second
Lieutenant Charles F. Bugless, of Company F, 10Th regi-
ment, National Guard of Pennsylvania, in full uniform.
Others on the platform were Freeholder Thomas E. De
Bow, of Sea Isle City; Harry Burkhart, secretary of the
Wildwood Battalion; Mayor Smitha and S. A. Laning.
Mr.. Young gave an interesting speech that bristled with
patriotism and then introduced ex-senator Harry Wheaton,
who gave one of his characteristic speeches. Senator Whea-
ton was followed by ex-Congressrnan Thompson Baker,
who spoke for half an hour or more. City Clerk Irving
Fitch, of Sea Isle City, was introduced, and after reciting the
preparedness plans in his town, read a resolution uphodng
the United States government, which was adopted by the
meeting. Mr.. Blackwell told of men being wanted by the
government for naval coast defense reserve and said that a
recruiting officer would be in Wildwood in a few days. Mr..
Blackwell made an appeal for men to come forward and dis
play their interest by giving their name and address SO that
the recruiting officer could look them up and explain the con-
ditions and their duties. He explained that this action con-
veyed no obligation to enlist. There were several responses,
the first one being Harry Jackson, a colored man. Other
volunteers were Charles Steward, colored, David Young, son
of the chairman of the meeting, E. Linton Martin, Robert
v. Stin, the latter an elderly man and a retired naval marine.
Since the meeting Gottleib Anderson, of Anglesea, has vol
unteered with his boat. John H. Pratt, of West Pine avenue,
has offered his power boat, which is 81 feet long with a
twelve horse power engine.
