GOVERNORS OF SIX WESTERN
 STATES GET TOGETHER AND
 DECLARE WAR ON MOBILES

sions of the legislatures to act in this connection were likely to be necessary, the governors pointed out.
 Governors attending the conference were: Erenst Lister, Washington, who presided as president of the west ern conference of governors; James Withycombe of oregon; Sam V. Stew art of Montana; Emmet D. Boyle Of Nevada: Nose Alexander of Idaho and Simon Bamberger of Utah. Cover nor Boyle was accompanied by George B. Thatcher, attorney general of Ne vada.
 In deciding to deal vigorously with the Industrial Workers of the World the governors made a clear distinction between them and what they described as legitimate labor organizations.
 We feel that during the war period every effort possible ought to be kept forth to keep our industrial plants in continuous operation" said Governor Lister.
 Governor Stewart, coming fresh from the Butte troubles in Montana said:
 Direct action is necessary in put ting down Industrial Workers of the World disturbances. It is fatal to let these opponents of destruction get 9 foothold. Experience has taught us that determined action rather than procrastination is what is effective"

Feared She Would Lose Baby
 Uterhart then related how Mrs. De Saulles was in constant fear that her husband, by reason of his wealth and influential connections, would be able to get permanent control of the boy. This in spite of the fact that the court decreed the boys time should be divid- ed equally between the parents.
 'She was fearful" he said. ''She had listened to the boy, returning from his fathers people. say:
 "Mother. they say I shouldn't come to you, that this isn't my home. that my home is with my father
 'You can imagine what effect this had on a woman 23 years old and in a strange land without relatives or friends.
 "When she reached The Box she saw that they had deceived her. Through the windows she saw her former husband. She saw that the boy was there. All the insults that had been heaped upon her; all the accu- mulated lndignltleS she nad sunered and all the. agony and torture he had made her experience concentrated in her heart These things and the fact that they were seeking to take her child-the only tie she had left to the once superlative happiness-combined in a great surge of hate.
 "The hate possessed her. She was the tiger mother; she was no longer the gentle woman. She was ready to strike and strike she did. She knew what she had done. She knows now. She does not regret. She would not regret if the electric chair stood be- fore her eyes.
 That's the story she told me today"

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-The governors of six western states met here today with Colonel Charles F.. Dentler, U. s. A, who commands all troops in Oregon, Washington.

 The conference took place behind closed doors. The governors declined D make public its details. except in a general way. They did, however, agree to cooperate in suppressing In dustrial Workers of the World activi- ties wherever they may occur in their respective territories. A definite plan for organizing constabularies to re- place the militia, it is understood. was proposed.
 Preventive measures, it was agreed, were the most effective and Colonel Dentler assured the executives that troops would be provided where actual ly needed. For disturbances which might not warrant federal troops, state constabularies were discussed as prob ably the desirable step. Special ses-

SAYS GERMANY WAS NOT COMPELLED ID
 GO THROUGH ELGIUM
Nation Avoided War on Her Own Territory by Violating Neutrality of Tiny King dom, Writes Expert.

COPENHAGEN. August 11.-Lieu- tenant-General Baron von Freytag7 Loringhoven, chief of the supplement tary general staff of the German army, in an article here quoted in German newspaper. admits the falsity of the German pretension that the violation of Belgium neutrality in the cant paign of August, 1914. was due to mil itary and defensive necessity provok- ed by alleged preparations of the French to invade Germany through Belgium. General von Freytag-Loring- hoven writes that, on the contrary, the French originally started to concen- trate their armies along their own eastern frontier and made belated change in their plans only after the German offensive was set in motion through Belgium and the Germans profited greatly from the resulting con- fusion and delay.
 Stories of French troops marching through Belgium during the first days of the war and of airplane and automo- bile attacks from Belgian territory, and other fairy tales which figured so largely in German justification of the invasion of Belgium, are not mention ed.
 The article describes the disastrous effect of the sweep of that unexpected German flood upon successive French armies, and the advance to the Marne. General von Freytag-Loringhoven de clares that the Germans retreated from the Marne because they were too week to break through the French line but he argues that although final sue cess was missed there. Germany, by seizing the opportunity of daring ad- vance through Belgium, avoided war on her own territory.
 The newspapers say the article of General von Freytag-Loringhoven. who is Germany's leading military histor- ian and writer of the basis of official general etaff records, is circulated semi-officially in the German press.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, August 1.-The same causes which have served to repress advancing tendencies since the early part of July again were operative dur ing this weeks irregular and at times reactionary, sessions. Questions of government price fixing and excess profit taxation assumed gore definite form. Developments were mainly help ful to the short account
 In the several weeks that have elaps- ed since prices and taxes have become almost the paramount issues, the dog en stocks accepted as market leaders show no steady market condition in quoted values. Some of the steels and other equipments are only 3 to 5 points lower, but Bethlehem is down more than fifteen points, due more to specific reasons.
 Coppers, save in a few instances, have varied only slightly despite the adverse labor situation. Important rails are almost unchanged.
 Trading has been almost wholly speculative or professional with a lib- eral admixture of pool activities in specialties. notably tobaccos and su- gars. The strength and activity of shippings seemed to be predicted on more substantial gorunds.
 , Extraordinary financial operations, involving the heavy shifting of loans, accompanied the firmer money market. Time rates manifested no pronounced change but funds were in much small Ter supply.

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO, August 11.-Sensational breaks in prices of corn for immediate delivery almost monopolized attention today in the grain trade. The fall amounted in some cases to 27 cents a bushel. as compared with "A hours be- fore. Distillers were at least tempor- arily out of the market Future de liveries closed nervous at the same as yesterdays finish to 4 cents lower. with December S1.34A to 1.341a and May 112 IS to 112A. Wheat closed three cents down but steady at 2.15 for September and oats off A to F cents. Provisions showed advances of 15 to 30 cents.
 With the competition from distillers eliminated, other industries were not disposed to pay recent high premiums for corn. It was said that many small industries were closing down until supplies could be obtained on more reasonable basis. Shorts in corn fu- lures here took profits on quite lib- eral scale.
 Bearish sentiment regarding wheat became more pronounced in view of an assumed unlikelihood of any sus- tained advance in prices.
 Predictions of an enlargement of the federal estimate of the oats crop tend ed to ease the oats market.
 New record breaking-upturns in hog prices were duplicated by provisions.
