GAVE AWAY $4,000
OF $35,OOO.OO LOOT
$4,000 LIBERTY BONDS AND ST.
600 CASH ON 19-YEAR-OLD
YOUTH WHEN CAPTURED.

NEW YORK. - Samuel Shapiro,
the 19-year-old messenger arrested
on a charge of stealing $4,000 in
liberty bonds from a firm of stock
brokers, has been held in $1,000 bail
for a hearing.
The police say that when Shapiro
was arrested he carried $4,000 in
liberty bonds and $4,000 in cash; that
he told them to whom he had given
$4,000 of the bonds, and said he had
"been living high" on the other 5000.
Took Another Name.
When Shapiro got his position with
the brokers a few weeks ago, the po-
lice say, he called himself Harry
Shaw. His duties were to deliver
bonds in the morning and to collect
checks in the afternoon. One morn
ing he was sent to deliver $500
worth of bonds, He got back just as
a messenger left $4,000 in bonds on
the cashiers window. The police say
Shapiro took these bonds and $10,-
900 more which were near.
He remained in the Office until he
was sent to make his check collection.
When he failed to return the firm
learned the 5000 worth Of bonds had
not been received. Then the S35, 900
in bonds were missed.

SUITS AND CLOAKS WILL BE
MUCH HIGHER IS PROSPECT
National Association Has Just Been
In Session-Next Springs Styles
Are Announced.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. - The ma
tional association of cloak and suit
manufacturers closed a two DAYS
convention here today. The federal
government probably will decide ear
ly next week on policy of releasing
its holdings Of several hundred mil
lion pounds of wool, according to
Harry S. New. vice president of the
association. Manufacturers believe
prices of suits and cloaks for next
spring and fall may be 25 per cent
higher than in 1918, due to the in
creased cost of labor and operating
expenses.
The style committees recommen-
dations for next spring, as announc-
ed today, show a new silhouette in
dolman coats and capes, built on
loose-hanging lines and tapering
slightly at the bottom.
Short, loose-hanging, boxy models
with braid, cording or embroidery
trimming will be popular in suits.
Others are more simple of outline
and will be worn with white or col
ored vests or vestees.
The skirts for spring will be built
on youthful lines, not too tight, and
having the appearance of tapering at
the foot line.

COOL RECEPTION FOR AMERICAN
ARMY AS MARCHES IN GERMANY
Neither Friendly or Hostile Demon
stration - Even Children Had
Been Schooled in Their Part.

AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCU-
PATION.-No demonstrations either
friendly or hostile, marked the entry
of Maj. Gen. Dickman's army into
Germany today. The frontier was
crossed early in the day and by night
fall the Americans had moved for
ward twelve miles, reaching Raggen
on the left and Saarholzbach on the
right. The line extended along the
Saar river and through Saarburg and
Treves.
The reception given the Americans
differed from that encountered in
Luxembourg and parts of Belgium and
France. There they were welcomed
as deliverers by almost all of the pop
ulation. The attitude Of the popula-
ton of Rhenish Prussia was different.
Not a single act of open antagonism
was reported, but it was evident th,t
even the children had been schooIed
carefully in the role they must play.

Good for Business, and Sees No
Reason for Depression of Any
Kind in the Near Future.
ATLANTA, Ga. = Norman H.
Johnson, of Richmond, Va, secretary
OF the National Wholesale Dry Goods
Association, member of the price
nXlng committee of the war indus
tries board and by all odds a man
who should have a pretty keen insight
into business conditions. predicts that
cotton is going to As cents a pound
next year and to 40 cents early in
the year.
Cotton, he asserted, is just as good
as money itself and commodity ev-
cry merchant should hold to. He
himself, he confded, had Just put
$4,000 into the staple.
Decline in Prices Gradual.
Further, said Mr.. Johnson, who is
just completing tour which 81 put
ting him in touch with practically
every big dry, goods jobber in the
south, the price of merchandise is
not going to drop back to normal
suddenly just because the war is over.
AS matter of fact, he predicted,
prices of many lines have not vet
reached their maximum. The de-
cline, he predicted, will begin some
thing like eighteen months from now
and will be very gradual.
For eight years." he said, 81 have
advised people to sell cotton. Now
| say hold. It's the biggest asset in
the United States, and the crop is
short.
Il am not venturing my statement
about cotton on hearsay or unsup-
ported facts" said Mr. Norman, but
from hard statistics gathered during
my inside investigation of the whole
merchandise and cotton situation.
Devastated of Cotton.
There is no cotton overseas and the
countries at war have been devastated
of cotton and there is no way to keep
the market from rising.
Merchandise is scarce and our
production will be decreased for the
next three months, making it still
scarcer. 1t is more than probable
that a majority of our mills will have
to close down for some period, from
one to three weeks, in order to adj
just their machinery to again plan
for civilian trade.
"The war has destroyed values
more than we can reconstruct in five
years with the world in harmony and
action, and then we can not hope to
be as rich as we were prior to the
war. The south will be the last part
of the world to feel a depression. Our
labor is in better condition than any
other section, and we are sufficiently
equipped with all industries to bal
ance any changed condition without
being affected detrimentally.
THE coming year will be good for
business, and while business will not
bring as much money as during the
war it will be better than any other
year in the history of our country
prior to the war"

CENTURY OLD SOCIETY
STILL AFTER HORSE THIEVES
Anti-Nag Stealing Body Has 1OSth
Annual Meeting.

DEDHAM, Mass.-The Society for
the Apprehension of Horse Thieves
held its one hundred and eighth an
nual meeting in Memorial Hall re-
Gently. The annual dinner was dis
pensed with because of reasons of
conservation.
Joseph H. Morrill,, who presided,
observed that, while the attendance
was somewhat smaller than 100 years
ago, when the community looked to
the organization for protection
against horse thieves, there was still
something to report" More than a
dozen cases of horse thievery in the
Bay State during the past year were
reported, showing that the evil which
the society organized to combat is
still alive in the east, even if less Wig
orous.

ing Guarantee Is Expected.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Brit
lsh government is securing a supply
of wheat from Australia at 90 cents
bushel, while Uncle Sam is paying
his wheat growers 1920 bushel, IN
der a contract that is to continue in
force until June l, 1920.
1t makes no difference what comes.
no matter how many millions of bush
els of surplus wheat the world has
now or produces next year, the gov
eminent can not escape the guarantee
by the president of 1920 for No.
red wheat, such as Australia is turn
ing out to the British government at
less than a dollar per bushel.
200,O0O,OOO Bushels From Last Year.
Australia has more than 100000
600 bushels of last pears crop and
the closing of the war opened her
granaries to the world unless Great
Britain's needs demand all of it.
Interesting questions have come up
in connection with the guaranteed
price to the American farmer. 1t is
this: If New York miller has the
boats and will send them to Australia,
buy wheat and bring it back to his
mills in this country there is no way
to prevent or punish him. He is free
to go after the cheaper wheat and
transport it to New York and mill it.
There was some talk of enacting
legislation to prevent the dumping of
foreign products in the United States.
By the middle of January Austria
liza will have the new years crop har-
vested. This will add to the surplus
of wheat already looming large since
the signing of the armistice.
1t is not likely, however, that there
will be any great rush to Australia
for the SO cents wheat, for ships for
that purpose are not to be had.
No Change Is Contemplated.
There is little or no intention now
either at the food administration or
in congress to start any movement to
lower the existing guaranteed price
for wheat, because the farmers have
prepared for next years crop with
the governments promise of financial
backing.
