Indiana Manufacturers Are
Much Concerned Over
Controllers Ruling on
Legalization of Contracts
Placed Informally.
LsyEcIAa TO THE TI>rEs.I

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Legaliza-
tion of contracts placed verbally, in
formally and by other methods by the
war department and which are now
held to be illegal by the controller OF
the treasury. is a subject of much in
terest to a number of Indiana manu-
facturers, who stand to lose thousands
If the contracts are not Iegalized and
who also stand 10 lose a great amount
OF money through a delay in legalzing
the contracts because payments arc held
Up in the meantime
Several Indiana manufacturers and
representatives of others have been in
Washington in the last few days in
sisting that the congress act immedi-
ately to legalize these contracts Dur
ing the war, the war department aban-
doned all red tape in the making Of tho
contracts and often told manufacturers
to go ahead on certain products with
the understanding that formal contracts
would be sent on later.
Payments Made.
This practice extended through prsc-
ucally every contract made. and manu-
fscturers soon became confident that
this kind of contract was sufficient war-
rant for ordering large quantities of ma
terial and for actually undertaking
manufacturing work. During the war
payments were made on these contracts
without question by the treasury de-
partment. but when the armistice was
signed the controller of the treasury
suddenly found the contracts were ille-
gal and refused further payments on
them unless they were found to be in
correct form.
The military committee of the senate
is ready to recommend TO the senate a
bill legalizfng such contracts and Gen
eral Cocktails. who has been acting "a
quartermaster-g general. has assured the
committee that unless such action is
taken it will mean the loss of millions 10
manufacturers who have undertaken
work for the government in good faith.
There Cancellations stand.
The Indiana manufacturers have been
assured that the contracts viii be legal
lied, although it probably viii be sew
eral weeks or even possibly as many
months before the congress takes the
necessary final action.
The war department will not recon
slider its cancellation of the contracts
for recuperators for 155MM guns. on
which stone companies in Bedford and
Bloomington have been working. Sens
tor Watson was Informed today. The
army has a surplus of this article. and
feels that further manufacture would
results only in waste, army officers said.
The stone comp, MES protesting
against the cancellations had pointed
out that much of thsir work was 30
per cent. complete. and that cancellation
would cause great waste to the govern
ment. The prospect of unemployment
for the men on the work also caused
protests to be made.

SITUATION rs GRAVE
By Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, April 27.-Diplomatic infor-
nation from Holland emphasizes the ex.
treme gravity of the German Holland
situation.
Germany has made demands which
mean the abandonment of Holland IS
neutrality, if she yields.
Between the devil and the deep sea,
Holland fears to forsake her neutral
ity.
The questions here: will she yield9
And what will Germany do if she does
not yieldl
The aggressive tone of the German
press indicates Germany will not recede
from the course by which she seems to
be deliberately picking quarrel with
Holland. The newspaper Germania shows
Germany's 3 hand, saying:
''This is Holland s chance for redress
and 10 balance her concessions to the
entente. Sooner or later both Holland
and Switzerland must enter one or the
other camp. May they understand the
signs of the times and choose that side
which will have the deciding vote at
the peace conference by right of sue
cess and victory"
Diplomatic officials hear that Ger
many sent four demands to Holland and
that the fifth--verbal and more drastic
has been delivered.

CENTRAL POWERS
in the protection of her Asiatic designs.
Turks Fear Kaieer.
CONTINUED from page .one)

Turkey, it appears, is increasingly dis
satisfied with her German alliance, ac.
cording to the Rome advices, and would
be willing to concede much to the Brit.
ish"if she was guaranteed against Teu-
ton aggression from the west. 1t is declar-
ed that the Young Turks are beginning
to realize that Ottoman sovereignty will
be respected to no greater extent than
was that Of Belgium in event of Ger
man victory.
Bulgaria is dissatisfied with the in.
tention of the central powers to give
Bessarabia to Rumania as well as the
blocking of her designs on Salonika.
Turkey also opposes the Bessarabian
proposition.
Austria is worried by the ever-grow-
ing restlessnass of the Jugo-Slavs and
the Czechs. Reports to Italy through
neutral channels indicate an increased
solidarity between the two peoples un-
der Austrian rule. A Czech newspaper
declares that politically and nationally
the Jugo-Slavs and the Czechs are iden-
teal. Their economic interests also
agree. The Czechs need a route to the
sea as offered by the territory of the
Jugo-Slavs and the Jugo-Slavs need
Czech S industry and capital"
The Czech and Jugo-Slav press joins
in favorable sentiment toward the unity
Of the ambitions of the two oppressed
races.

COMMITTEE DECIDES
AGAINST WAR CHEST
Plan Heretofore Used VIII Be
Continued for Raising
All Funds

Liberty drives and in fact all patri-
otic drives will be conducted in Salem
as in the past. Yesterday afternoon
the war chest committee of the Com
mercial club, with nine of the four.
teen members of the committee pres
ent, voted that it was not advisable
to substitute the war chest plan for
those that have already been tried.
This decision however was not unan-
imous as several members of the com.
mittee were inclined to favor the new
plan of caring for all patriotic affairs
from financial standpoint.
W. M Hamilton, who favored the
war chest plan explained that it was
to assess every person in the city a
certain per cent Of his monthly income
and make this sum payable monthly.
By this means, everyone would know
what he was expected to give each
month. This amount would be collected
and divided into the various different
funds.
1t would be better, Mr.. Hamilton
thought, to make one big drive than
for the business men to leave their
affairs several times year and de-
vote a week or more to raising funds
or selling liberty bonds.
Joseph II. Albert was inclined to
favor the views taken by Mr.. Hamil-
ton He thought more could be raised
per capita than by the old system Of
drives and had the figures to show that
Rome, N. T., Syracuse, N. Y, Columbus
Ohio, and other cities had found the
plan quite satisfactory.
Thos. B. Kay opposed the war chest
plan. He said we could not foresee
what the calls would be in the future.
As the Oregon boys come home sick or
disabled, he thought the demands
would be even greater than heretofore.
Trying to make a levy on o man S in
come Mr.. Kay thought would not work
out as it has been tried in the church
es.
Henry Meyers agreed with the
opinions of Mr.. Kay. He thought it
would be rather difficult to apportion
out the general fund to be collected
just what the Red Cross or other or
CARNATIONS might need or what would
be their needs.
Walter Denton was opposed to the
war chest plan. The monthly eollee-
tions would have to be made, there
would have to be continual educa-
tion Of the people to the giving and
he thought taking it In all, there
would be no conservation of energy in
the new plan.
Dan j. Fry thought the war chest
idea a good one as it would eliminate
all drives and big money getting cam
paigns.
However, as the majority present
were not in favor Of the plan, the com
ing campaign of the Red Cross next
month and the next campaign Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. will be carried on as in the
past.
