DEMAND DEPORTATION
OF PRINCE Won BuELOW
French-Swiss Newspapers Want For
mer German Chancellor Expelled
From Switzerland.
VIOLATION OF NEUTRALITY
He Has Been Living in Luccrne Most
of Time Since He Was Forced to
Leave Post as Special Ambassador
in Rome.

BERN, July 7~French- Swiss papers
demand the deportation Of Prince Won
Buclow. the former German Chancel-
lor. who has been living in Lucerne
most of the time since Italy entered
the war. when he was forced to leave
his post as special ambassador in Rome
The Geneva Tribune and other papers
charge he is violating the neutrality
OF Switzerland by directing a propa-
ganda to split the entente powers.
According to the Tribune. the prince,
who recently transferred his residence
to Lugano, during the last two or three
months has had many conferences with
leaders of the extreme socialists. These
leaders are working openly for the
separation of Italy from the allies. an
early peace and the overthrow Of the
presen, italian government.
The eX-chancellor is also charged
with having furnished money to Nicho-
las Lenine and other radical Russia
socialists who went to PetroErad from
Switzerland some time ago to work
against the provisional government Of
Russia and to bring about a general
uprising of the proletariat. and a con-
dition of complete anarchy.
Three deputies from the cantons of
Geneva and Vaud have announced that
they will formally demand the expul-
sion of the prince in Parliament. II
a resolution ordering the deportation
of the eX-chancellor should be intro
duced a bitter fight between the pro-
German and pro-entente elements
would result The federal council
wants 10 avoid everything that might
give Germany pretext for action
against Switzerland. but In view of the
growing pro-entente agitation in the
western cantons the situation is be-
coming more critical from day to day.
Nobody is able to say how much longer
the little Swiss republic will be able to
maintain it's neutrality.

An educational Innovation will be

recently purchased from Denmark.
when the European system of cduca-
ton will be used with American text
books.
The former commissioner of educa-
ton OF the islands. o. Rubncr. still
has charge OF the schools. AT his re-
quest. two American teachers have
beNl sent to take charge OF the schools
at 81, Thomas and ST. Croix. The DAN
ish system OF education as used in the
Virgin Islands differed from The Amcri-
can plan. in that the schools were in
session virtually the year round. re-
ligious training was required, the
teachers had longer hours and less
pay. and stress was laid on those sub
jectS that pertnined TO Europe
The form of religion was that OF
the Moravan Church. This will not
be continued, now that the United
states owns the islands, European
history and geography will not be
emphasized as they once were, and
more emphasis will be laid on reading,
writing and arithmetic.
There arc no high schools on the
islands. although the residents made
numerous petitions of the Danish gov
eminent for them. This lack of sec
ondary alucation was responsible for
great deal Of dissatisfaction with
the government of Denmark Between
so and 80 per cent of the inhabitants
OF the Virgin Islands are said to be-
black. The rest are white.

ENGLAND MAY SEIZE WEALTH

Capital When the War Comes
to an End.

London, Oct. 1O.-Bngland has a
other shock in store for that section
of America which hates to see wealth
do its bit. England is preparing to
conscript alphabetically.
There has been a great deal of talk
about CONSUMPTION of wealth in con-
nection with the war, but it has meant
only high income taxes, excess profits
taxes and levies of that sort, The Brit
ish government today has practically
decided to take the next step and levy
directly on capital. Barring a change
of opinion in the meantime on the
part of those responsible for the Brit
ish financial policy, such a levy will
be made soon after the war ends.

MUST Be MORE DEVELOPMENT
Convention at ST. Louis is Told That
More Lead, Tin, Mercury, Mica
and Zinc is Necessary.

ST. Louis, Oct. 9.-The United
States will face a gave scarcity OF
certain minerals necessary to the sue
cessful conduct of the war unless the
vast mineral deposits of the country
are developed, said w, G. Westervelt
of New York, chairman OF the United
States war minerals board, in an ad-
dress today before the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers in session
here.
Nitrates. essential in the manufac-
ture of gunpowder and high explosive
shells, are imported in small quantl-
ties from South America, he said, be-
cause of the shortage Of ships. Man
agnese, a mineral used in hardening
steel for armor plate and shells, he
said. is imported at the expense OF
other necessary articles, while vast de-
posits of the mineral in Virginia, Ar
kansas and California are undeVei
oped.
Steps also must be taken at once
to insure a sufficient supply of lead,
tin. mercury, mica and zinc necessary
to the successful prosecution of he
war" the speaker declared.
The speaker urged the mining en-
gineers to cooperate with the board,
he purpose of which is to insure a
supply of minerals and stimulate pro-
duction from mineral deposits now
neglected. The engineers institute
will be asked to supply volunteers TO
develop mineral deposits that have
not been used.
Strong government control, prefer
ably through the medium of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, was recon-
mended for the bituminous coal indus
try by Francis S. Peabody of Chicago,
chairman of the coal production COM
mittee of the Council Of National De-
| tense, in a paper prepared by him and
read before the engineers. Mr.. Pea
body, in his paper, dwelt on the So
called bad features of the present sys-
tenn of producing coal, which he said
not only was wasting the heritage OF
people. but which was placing almost
insurmountable difficulties for success
sors to overcome in working the thin
ner veins of coal which s'e left.

President Wilson Awaits Only Com
pletion of Conferences to Issue
His Executive Order.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Virtually all
the staple foods consumed by the
American people will be put under
government control on November l.
The food administration announced
tonight that within a few days Pres
ident Wilson will issue an executive
order requesting that manufacturers
and distributors of some twenty fun
damental foods operate under license
restriction designed to prevent unrea-
sonable profits and to stop specula-
ton and boarding.
Regulations for All.
Regulations will be prescribed for
meat packers, cold storage houses,
millers, Gamers, elevators, grain deal
ers and wholesale dealers and retail
ers doing a business of more than
500, GOO annually in the commodities
TO be named.
THE prime purpose of the food ad-
ministration," the announcement said,
sis to protect the patriot against the
Stacker in business. 1t has generally
been recognized that the enormous
obligation imposed on the American
people to feed our soldiers at the front
and the allies creates @ disturbing FAC
tor in trade which allows opportunity
to a few TO impose burdens upon the
many and that it is of vital national
importance that such control should
be exerted as will remedy, so far as
may be, the economic disturbance in
cident to the war"
Wants Cooperation.
Issuance of the Presidents procla-
nation has been delayed, the an
nouncement said, that the food admin
istration might complete conferences
with representatives of trades and
producers and consumers Already
about 200 conferences have been held
at which we're planned regulations
and constructive methods of control.
1T has been the desire of the food
administration the announcement
continued, ito secure the cooperation
of all patriotic men in the various
trades so as to eliminate speculation,
boarding unreasonable profits, waste
full practices, etc, in the great dis
tribution.'
