New Issue Delayed

Investment bankers say that several
new issues of securities are being held
back from the market by the delay Of
the Capital Issues Committee in pass
ing upon the applications. This Fabian
policy on the part of the government
body was criticised in view of the
short time that will elapsc between
now and the fourth Liberty loan. The
only excuse that has been offered has
been the absence of members Of the
committee on vacations and the hot
weather.

Reports indicating that an early
and, in the main, satisfactory con-
clusion Of the railway contract con-
troversy would be reached caused
a slight revival of activity in rail
road shares yesterday, and prices of
all the leading issues in this section
of the list advanced. Speculative
rather than investment buying was
responsible for the move 1t is, ap-
parently, the consensus Of opinion
in Wall Street that another out
burst of activity in rails will follow
definite settlement Of the dispute.
That opinion is probably we'll found
ed, though it would be difficult to
forecast the direction of the cx-
pected movement. In any event it
is likely to be short lived, and in the
succeeding period the dulness of
rails will probably be even more
pronounced than the stolidity in the
industrial group. Trading in rail
road stocks will not only be held
down by lack of funds and by other
influences which tend to restrain ac-
tivity in the whole market, but they
will have the additional handicap,
from the spectators point of view,
of fixed return, which means that
interest in them will be Of an invest
ment rather than speculative nat
ure.
There is one market at least
which such things as money crises
and taxation do not check. That is
the market for cotton. Yesterday
the price Of this staple rose to the
highest level Of the year, which
means, of course, the highest level
since Civil War times. Reports of
weather conditions unfavorable to
the growing crop explained the ad-
vance, which was almost as much
as is permitted in a single session
under the present rule Of the Cotton
Exchange. 1t is probable that if
the advance continues we shall soon
hear a demand for price fixing. The
chances for action Of that kind are
none too favorable, however, though
it is hard to see why cotton should
remain immune when the prices of
steel, copper, wool, wheat and many
other commodities no more essential
than cotton have been fixed. Not
SO long ago, some Southern inter-
ests who had first violently protest
ed against the proposal to fix prices
when cotton was selling at appro xi-
mately the same price as now OBJ
tains, urged that the government
intervene to save the poor planter
from disaster. The government was
to buy the surplus output at fancy
price. But the planter has beer
saved without interference, and
henceforth the chances are that the
South will stick to sound economic
principles and insist that there be
no interference with the law of sup
ply and demand.

Cotton Exchange Votes Extra Holida,

Whether the Stock Exchange will
vote to close the exchange on the Sat
urday preceding Labor Day, thereby
making a three-day holiday for the
brokers, has not yet been decided. In
view of the current dulness, however.
there is strong sentiment favorlng
the extra holiday. Members Of the

can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. say s4.755O. The intrinsic
parity is S4SGfs per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds arc at dis
count or that dollars are at a premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng

greater than the demand in this coun-

To Hell America Win
Aids Government by Doing Away With
National Convention Scheduled
for San Francisco.

Not less than 100000 in delegates

saved, it is estimated, through the sub
stitution of meeting of the national
board of directors, which opened in
Atlantic City, for the customary an
nual delegates convention of the An
cient Order of Hibernians which was
originally planned for San Francisco.
The great saving thus effected is to
be made available for the use of the
National Government through the pur-
chase of Liberty bonds, War Savings
Stamps, and other win the war" in
vestments. Reports of the Order
showed that there are more than 2,100
branches in thriving condition, with
a membership, including that of the
women's auxiliary, considerably in eX-
cess of 100000 The auxiliary has 49,
900 members.
Resolutions reiterating the fealty of
the Organization to President Wilson
and the Government have been
drafted. If any action is taken by the
board with relation to the Irish situa-
ton, it will not be stronger than an
expression of sympathy from Ameri-
cans who have no desire to raise adj
ditional difficulties for the Washington
Administration at this critical time.

An Astroeity Monger
Recalled from j. S,

Washington, July 10. = General
Pershing has cabled to the War De-
partment denying statements attrib-
uted by a st. Louis newspaper to an
American sergeant, about the way the
Germans treat American prisoners.
The sergeant was one of the group of
fifty who were sent back to this coun-
try to assist in the Third Liberty Loan
campaign. General Pershing recon-
mends that the sergeant be returned
Immediately to France for duty. His
name is not disclosed by the War De-
partment. The generals cablegram
follows:
Pershing's Cablegram.
"a St. Louis, Mo-, paper recently re-
ceived here states that sergeant, one
of the fifty men sent back in connec-
ton with the Liberty Loan campaign,
is making speeches in which he states:
The False Statement.
1.-The Germans gave poisoned candy
to the children to eat and hand gre
nades for them to play with. They
show glee at the children's dying
writings and laugh aloud when the
grenades explode. I saw one Amer
lean boy about IL years old, who had
been captured by the Germans, come
back to our trenches. He had cotton
in and about his ears. I asked some
one what the cotton was for.
"'The Germans cut off his ears and
sent him back to tell us they want to
fight men, was his answer. They feed
Americans tuberculosis germs
No Foundation Whatever.
AS there is no foundation whatever
in fact for such statements based on
any experience we have had, 1 recon-
mend that this sergeant, if the state
ments quoted above we're made by
him, be Immediately returned for duty
here, and that the statements be con-
tradicted. PERSHING.

tlon only stopped when the man or
blood and iron" was forced after all to
so to 'Canossa' by the Catholic party
in the Reichstag. And this is the coun-
try which now poses as the friend of
Catholic Ireland!
BY her long fight for liberty; by
her deathless devotion to the faith of
st. Patrick; by the matchless purity
Of her women; by the dauntless cour-
age of so many of her children who on
every battlefield of Europe have fought
and died for freedom: by all these and
for the sake of the good and righteous
cause for which the allies are fighting,
l, the son of Irish parents, beg my
fathers people to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the gallant men from
Canada, France, America, Italy, Aus
tralia, Belgium, yes and England, who
are fighting for human freedom
against despotic and irresponsible rule.
America has made up her mind
never to give up the fight until victory
crowns our arms, and she sees hun
dreds of thousands of the children of
Irish parents marching under our glo-
rious banner; and all of us are sore
grieved to hear that in this world
wide struggle for liberty, Ireland fall
ters and holds back as though she
thought liberty was not worth the
struggle.
Make no mistake. This issue is
not the supremacy of England on land
and sea. The sole issue of this war is
the right of the people to govern them
selves, and we are fighting against a
blasphemous despot who arrogantly
and constantly boasts that God is aid
ing him in his barbarities and MUIR
ders. If the impossible were to hap
pen and Germany be the victor, there
would be an end to liberty and the
death knell of freedom everywhere.
Every day that she delays, Ireland
is losing the support and sympathy of
my countrymen here in America, who
have looked with admiration at her
struggle for freedom, and have given
practical proof of sympathy; and it
grieves us now to find that Ireland is
needless of Americas peril and is CIV
ing at least indirect aid and comfort
to our enemies.
Eve cannot understand how the
land that so honored John Redmond
can now be found on the side of the
despot against whom John Redmond's
brave brother fought to the death.
We are waiting and watching for
the glad tidings that Ireland has sent
her sons to fight for liberty God
speed the day!
