REFUSE PRICES
fIXEDB u. S.
Big Business VIII Not Ac-
cept Rates Set for War
Material.

Big business has thrown down ths
gauntlet TO the government.
Great interests which control most
Of the material and machinery neees-
sary to the H-psecution OF the war
haye informed the government that
while they stand ready 20 furnish
their product at prices far below the
market value, they cannot be expected
to quote rates that would be ruinous.
Furthermore. they declare that they
cannot be asked to offer the allies
the same preferential rate which they
are willing to make to the United
States.
Copper interests, TO which all the
big industries look for leadership, have
decided that they wills charge thu
government 3 cents a pound for their
product, while the allies must pay y
cents. This was decided in New York,
it was learned here yesterday. at q
luncheon held last Friday.
Originally they had quoted q price
OF l6 2-3 cents a pound for their prod
uct. 1t was generally understood here
that this price was for all copper that
would be needed by the government
during the war. Now II develops that
the quotation was only supposed TO be
for $4,000 pounds. This was for
the navy. At that time it was said
that this would, be all that the govern
ment would require.
Less Than Tenth Needed.
The offer was made before the coun-
try was actually in war, and now
that the country is at war. IL is
learned that this is less than one
tenth the amount needed The navy
alone will require Il0, 10000 pounds in
addition to its first order. while the
War Department will have to have
rs, 900, 900 pounds.
The government. say the copper
men, can hardly expect them to sup
ply this vast quantity at the same
pTice-they call IL a sacrifice price
that was paid for the nat order.
More than $40. 900. coo was saved BY the
government on the first order. This
was brought about through Bernard

| authority on the East who greatly
fears that the Western democracies,
especially the United States, will be
tricked by Germany on this issue,
said TO me:
THE main thing to keep in mind,
and the point that is so hard for
freedom to recognize, is that Ger
many and Austria are military des-
potisms in which. parliaments and
ballot boxes are merely playthings
of the autocrats. Consequently the
coming parliamentary resolutions
and paper constitutions in Austria
and Hungary must not be taken
seriously. One thing only counts,
the army; and the allied publics
will not go astray If amid all the
shouting about differences between
the Teutonic allies, they remember
one fact. Every Austrian. unit, with
the exception of those operating on
the Italian front, contains German
troops-'satisfying' the Germans
call them. Every Austrian army
is under German supreme command,
and not only the All-Highest Ger
man General Staff, but German army
group and army STATS direct the
movements of Austrian troops. Con-
sequently the Austrian Emperor is
absolutely unable to revolt against
his master the Kaiser.
"A country is ruled by the men
who control that country's armies,
or by the political power to which
those men are answerable. Ger
many's greatest conquest in this
war has been Austria, and that con-
quest can be taken away from the
German army only by destroying the
German army. No doubt many Aus
trian and Hungarian politicians are
agitating sincerely, but they can
do nothing while Germany controls
the armies in their country. Even
supposing the Austrian troops re-
volt, they would be useless for mil
itary purposes without German or
ganization, and a few regular Ger
man troops could subdue them. The
war, therefore, cannot be won
without a military defeat of Ger
many in the field and the resolution
OF the patchwork quilt of the Haps-
burg empire into its component
parts"
The coming territorial readjust-
ments in the Near East are the
subjects of renewed comment mere
since the development of the pres
ent political crisis in Austria and
Hungary. In common with other
American. reports in Europe, have

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL FOR
COLoRED FOLKS SUCCESS

81 s
Edward 1. Young, representing the
Piney Woods Country Life School,
located in Southern Mississippi, was in
the city a couple of days this week, in
the interest of that school. The school
was established in 1909 and has made
rapid progress in the eight years Of its
existence. Agriculture and other in
dustrial pursuits are taught, and is
along lines similar to that at Tuskegee.
Eight years ago Laurence C. Jones of
Iowa went to Mississippi and established
the school, and 534 acres are cultivated
by about 800 students, most OF whom
work their way thru the establishment.
Mrs.J. L. Brooks of Waterloo, Iowa,
recently donated four months of her
time to the school, teaching from Z a. M,
until 8 p. m. Asa Turner, prominent
Iowa man, is also deeply interested in
the institution and spends considerable
time there each year.
Mr.. Young, who is apparently bright
and intelligent young colored man, not
only worked his way thru the school, but
is now travelling in it's interests to help
pay his way thru Ames college in Iowa.

WIRE FENCE ADDS TO
DANGER OF LIGHTNING

Wire fences increase the dangers Of
livestock during thunder storms, unless
the fences are carefully grounded"
say specialists at University Farm.
Such fences may be grounded by run
ming No. 8 or No. 10 galvanized iron
wire from each strand of the fence into
the ground. The wire should be twisted
two or three times about each strand and
should reach to a depth of four or five
feet into the ground. If the soil is
particularly dry the wire should be sunk
much deeper. It should always reach
down to moist soil. A crowbar may be
used in making the holes. Projecting
points above the fence will help to re-
lieve the electric tension, and prevent the
from striking.
Field fences should be grounded every
20 rods and fences about barnyards and
feed lots every 10 rods at least.
