But one thing fortunately is sure.
The people are not in need to have
any multi millonaires manufactured
out of the country's misfortune, if
war must come.
"If the peoples business must be
disturbed, if the high prices of food
must go still higher, if this nation
must be dragged into the war dance
and pushed toward the verge of bank
ruptcy as other nations have been,
the makers of ammunition and sellers

is done fairly and justly, fair prices
as far as possible for those that en-

those whose inanimate wealth in the

Allies Recover Treasures
Stolen by the Germans
Valuable Will Be Returned to
Institutions From Which
They Were Taken

LONDON. Dec. 10--French and Brit
lsh pickets under the direction of the
taymaster general of the French army
and in the presence Of German officers
in civilian clothes, have been sent to
the various banks of Brussels, notably
the Compton National, D'Escompte de
Paris and the Credit Lyonnais, in the
last two days, and have removed large
numbers of chests which were placed
there by the Germans about the middle

These chests. says the Reuter- corre-
spondent at Brussels, contain strong
boxes and securities taken from towns
IN Northern France, including Lille,
Roubain, Tourcoing, Valenciennes, St.
Quentin and Cambria Other cases
placed by the enemy in the banks at
Liege are said to contain securities to
the value of thousands of millions Of
francs.
These valuables will be returned to
the financial establishments from which
they were distracted, except in the case
of towns where the banks have been
destroyed as, for example, st. Quentin
ond Cambrai. In such cases the secu-
rites will be deposited in Paris.

DIR. Rumely Fights
TO Keep His Trial
From Washington

Declaring that his client, DR.. Edward
A. Rumely, former publisher of "The
Evening Mail" has been outrageously
treated and wronged by the govern
ment, Frederick j. Powell in a removal
proceeding before United States Com
missioner Hitchcock yesterday insisted
that the effort on the part of the gov
ernment 70 have DR. Rumely removed
TO Washington on the eve of his trial
mere was an injustice and tended to in
dicate that the Department of Justice
is playing battledore and shuttle
cock" with his client and is in reality
department for persecution.
DR.. Rumely was indicted by the Fed
eral grand jury of the District of Co.
lumbia on December for alleged fail
ure to report the fact to Alien Prop
erty Custodian Palmer that certain
shares of stock in the S. S. Mcclure
Corporation held by him were pur-
chased in behalf Of the imperial Ger
man government and also the fact that
he was indebted to the German gov
ernment to the extent of S1,461 500.
He was indicted by the Federal grand
jury here in July on the charge of per-
jury in .concealing the enemy owned
stock in "The Mail" He is awaiting
trial on this charge and is out in bail
Of $4,000.
Hearing Set for December II
To support his complaint that DIR.
Rumely was wanted for pleading in
Washington, Assistant United States
Attorney Harold Harper presented
certified copy of the Indictment re-
turned in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Harper also called Mr.. Powell
as government witness to establish
the fact that his client is the person
named in the indictment and then
rested the governments case.
Mr.. Powell asked that he be given
two weeks to prepare to fight Dr.
Rumely's removal to Washington by
challenging the validity of the indct-
ment. Mr.. Harper objected, and at his
suggestion the hearing was set for
December IT,
Rumely Issues Statement
At the conclusion of the proceedings
DR.. Rumely declared he was being
made victim of sharp practice in
order to transfer his trial from New
YORK to Washington. He added that
he had been hailed before the bar of
public opinion by partisan and SANDER
GUS statements before he was given
a hearing in court.
Describing in detail his plans for de-
1ence on the first Indictment which
would have been tried in New York,
Dr. Rumely declared that it was here
he should have had an opportunity of
clearing himself.
"lns toad, however, the government
suddenly tries to move me into strange
surroundings" said DR.. Rumely. "To
needlessly increase and duplicate the
cost OF my defence is an unfair bur

the facts is wrong.

Opponents of War Prepared

Opponents of War Prepared
"There are men in both houses Of
Congress who realize the nature of
the forces that arc trying to bring
war upon the country.
"All of those that oppose war are
prepared for it if it must come and
will show in the prosecution Of it an
energy even greater than that with
which they have opposed war and its
dreadful consequences.
THE people have had time to think
over the war They have had to
study and understand the forces, the
interests. the selhshness, the profess
sional war movement.
Having had time to think in their
homes. and in the Congress that rep
resents them, the people are thor
oughly determined upon one thing.
They do not intend that war which
disorganize the lives Of citizens, in
terfere with this nations possibil-
ties of usefulness hereafter-they
don't intend that that condition,
damaging to ninety-nine per cent of
all the people shall enrich selfish
few. The people of the United
States have seen extortion practiced
upon the people of Europe, con-
demned to pay to the ammunition
makers OF the United States any
price demanded.
Sees Federal Autocracy
"They have seen the makers of
powder and dynamite, the manufact-
urers of killing machinery Of all
kinds, piling up their hundreds of
millions Of profit.
What has been with other nations
is the business Of other nations.
But what is done in case var
comes to this country will be the
business of this country.
"When the time comes for the
United States to ask for war mater
ials or for the manufacture of engines
of murder, our government will not
ask the manufacturer, the producer
or the banking middleman how much
are you going to charge your gov
ernment, how much profit do you
mean to get out of this war.
"The government will say and it
will mean. l know, what you have
for sale. l know or I shall find out
what it costs you to produce. l shall
take what | need, | will run your
factory myself, operate your mine or
your plant myself, if it seems to me
advisable, and l will allow you on
the actual cost such a profit as seems
to me advisable.

Hitchcock Explains
His Embargo Stand
In Speech to Senate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee, ad-
dressed the Senate to-day in regard to
the mention Of his name among the
advocates of an embargo on munitions
in documents produced before the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee in the Ger
man propaganda inquiry. He said it
was evident that the Germans had used
the names of many public men reck
lessly, if not falsely, the climax of
absurdity being reached when they re-
corded Professor Albert Bushnell Hart,
of Harvard, as willing to cooperate
with them.
Referring to the letter of q German
agent, dated July %, 1915, saying that
Senator Hitchcock Seemed strong"
for the embargo movement and had
said it would "sweep the United
States" Mr.. Hitchcock pointed out that
he had introduced a bill for muni-
tions embargo more than eight months
before and had made d speech in the
Senate on the bills behalf. On Feb
ruary II, 1915. the measure was reject
ed, 81 to SO, as an amendment to the
shipping bill
Favored Arms Embargo
"The part ! took during 1914 and
1915 in favor of prohibiting the export
of arms and munitions during our neu-
trahty has never been subject of

"My attitude naturally changed with
changing conditions.

and impartial neutrality, even to the
extent of selling no arms and ammuni-
tion and lending no money to either

DEALE RS IN EGGS
PROF|TEER, SAY
POOR CONSUME RS

Several complaints have reached the
officials of the food administration
that undue advan age has been taken
in several instances regarding the reg
ulated prices or profits that are al
lowed on the sale of eggs.
These complaints, coming from the
consumer, tend TO show that profiteer-
ing is practiced and that former in
structions in the shape of letters sent
out from the local office have received
little consideration if any.
Instances can be cited where firms
doing business in this state and other
states have had their licenses revoked
on account of profiteering, and the
decisions of the food officials on
such matters have met with the APP
prevail of the United States govern
ment.
The food administration has de-
termined that any sales of food COM
moditieS at a gross margin above de-
hvered cost in excess of those indi-
Gated below are unreasonable. and
will be regarded as prima facie evil
dence of violation of the statute and
of the above regulation. Percentage
may j e calculated on the selling price.
Delivered cost shall mean the cost at
the railroad, steamboat or other ter
minal in the retailers town. Where
the retailer is not located in a railroad
or steamboat town, he may include
any hauling charge in the delivered
cost.
The lesser margin indicated is not
a minimum margin but is a maximum
charge for those whose cost of doing
business is less, such as stores which
do not perform the services of credit
and delivery. Any change from the
pre-war practice in cash discount
terms or other charges which tend to
or result in increasing the margins of
profit allowed will be dealt with as
an unfair practice.
The retailer may have the benefit
of fractional costs on each transact
ton; that is. he may calculate the to-
tai charge to a customer on any trans
action as if fractional costs We're not
allowed and if the result is a frac-
tion he may add thereto such fraction
of cent as may be necessary to make
price even in cents. The following
table gives an example in the case of
eggs. using the cash and carry mar
gin of seven cents per dozen:
