WANT PLANTS
 KEPT IN USE

Washington, Nov. 15-Now Is the time for making plans to build up a dyestuffs industry of sufficient size to meet the demands of this country, Representative Good of Iowa said yesterday. He has introduced a bill providing for an inquiry by War Salvage Commission into the uses to which big war plants might be turn ed. ga
 The governments great war pro- gram has brought many plants into being and expanded others that MT. Good believes could proftabIy be turned into making dyestuffs, inks, and similar products for which this country depended upon Germany be- fore the war.
 The Salvage Commission, under the bill, would investigate carefully all property acquired by the government, with @ view to deterr7in+~~ -77~ uses to which it can be put. This applies to equipment UI -osL cantonments and storage houses, sup plies, etc., at home and abroad. which may be sold or otherwise dis posed of as best to protect the gov ernment.
 In the sale of these plants MT Good urged, favorable interest rates can be allowed on deferred payments

Three Automobile
 Mishaps Yesterday

Three automobile accidents occur red in this city yesterday afternoon, none of the victims being seriously injured.
 The first was at 1:45 p. m. James -Baccola, IS years old of 751 Hallett street was hitching on the rear end of a truck going north on Hallett street, jumped from his unwelcome perch directly into the path of an auto driven by Julius Vankovici of Sport Hill Easton. He was slightly injured and treated by a private physi- clan.
 At 3:15 p. m, Clifford Banks, a driver for the Smith Murray com pany was slightly injured when his car turned turtle. Banks said that he was driving north on State street when a touring car turned out of Mountain Grove street, and that he turned to the left to avoid a collis- sion but that the driver of the pleas ure car also turned left. Banks then turned to the right but so sharply that his car overturned. The driver of the other auto did not stop.

RELEASESYA YACHTS
 FROM SERVICE

Washington, Nov. 15.---Private yachts and other small craft now a part of the coast patrol fleet will be released without boss of time Those leased to the navy will be returned to their owners in the same condition as when they were turned over to the Government, and the auction block will mark the passing from the naval service of many small vessels.
 This announcement was made by Secretary Daniels yesterday when he was asked about the effect of the ces- sation of hostilities on the coast pa tTol. He said: NO orders have yet been issued to the naval district commanders. It is quite possible they are permitting the boys to come in from time to time. The whole question of the disposition of small craft taken into the service for the period of the war is now un- der consideration.
 'AIbout 100 yachts and other craft are in the service at $1 a year. These will be . turned back as quickly as possible in first class condition. Un- til the situation clears there will be no letting down in the navy"
 The Secretary also announced that young men in the navy who desire to return to school or college or those whose business interests need them imperatively will be released as speed fly as possible.
 The navy personnel now exceeds 5OO,0OO, and MT. Daniels said he could spare about 50,O0O in the near future should that many desire release!

EMERY RELATES
 GERMAN CHANCE
Nation, Lied To, Began Last Summer to Realize it
 Would Meet Defeat.

According to Henry c. Emery, for merly professor of political economy at. Yale, and who has just returned from Germany after having been a prisoner there since April, practically the whole German people recognized the inevitability of defeat early last summer and in August were openly discussing the necessity of getting rid of the Kaiser and his government. MT. Emery was in Russia in 1916 in the interests of the Guaranty Trust Co. He was arrested while staying on one of the Aland islands on the coast | of Finland in March and was interned in the German prison camp of Tuchel in April Five weeks later he was re- leased and allowed to go to a small town in Pomerania and from there two months afterward went to Berlin. In Berlin he was permitted to have the liberty of the city so long as he re- ported regularly to the police. He was allowed to leave for the United States on Oct 22.
 "In the little town where was liv- ing before I went to Berlin" he said yesterday "what struck me forcibly was the complete lack of understand i ing by the mass of the people of what i their government had been guilty of | and of the conditions that had forced America into the war.
 | But in Berlin the truth was pretty generally realized. When I first i reached the city the last great German offensive was just coming to an end ! +o +I,o I feeling of confidence in German suc- cess was still high.
 But I soon discovered restlessness 6mong the people, especially the work ing people. In July my barber com plained bitterly and with amazing frankness of the way the German peo- pie had been lied to, and when ask ed him what he thought ought to be done he said, We have got to throw down that chap up above.'
 'tAt that moment could hardly be- lieve my ears, but each succeeding day made 1t clearer that the great masses of the people were heartily sick of their rulers and it was general. ly accepted that the Kaiser had long ago lost his grip and influence and that Ludendorff was the dictator of Germany. While I was in Berlin saw him, once the national hero, fal to be the most execrated man in the country. Early last month a rather conservative journalist said to me that the larAppost it was proposed to hang him on had been picked out"
 Fought Even Past "Bitter End"
 "A week later was in the core spondents' room at the Reichstag 2 while the Reichstag was discussing President Wilson's second note tC Chancellor Max. asked some of the newspaper men if they thought Ger many would fight to the bitter end 1 and amid loud laughter one of them a German, said that Germany not only would, but had, since the bitter end | had arrived some weeks ago."
 MT. Emery said that before Prince Max of Baden accepted the Chancel- lorship it had been offered to Matthias Erzberger, Philipp Schiedemann, the Socialist leader, and a half dozen oth- CT men recognized for their demo. cratic principles and thoroughly trust ed by the people. None of them would consider 1t.

RED CROSS HELPED HIM

A French soldier recently visited Red Cross headquarters in this little town near Lake Geneva.
 He was a bronzed, weatherbeaten man, the dust of his journey still up pn him, his battered helmet and boughened clothes telling their tale. It was easy to take his measure-a Fearless man, who would face danger Gnfinchingly. Yet his voice trem- bled like a childs, his eyes moistened with tears, as he told his story.
 The words came jerkily. He had some tcf Bourg to find his wife and child; he had been told that they would arrive here on the convoy of tepatriated French people leaving SIvian June 5. And he had been granted three days permission to be with them, a generous concession, he sdded, at this time when no man can be spared. And all to no pur- pose. Already the better part of the T Iday was gone and he could get no Trace of them. And no one seemed to ube able to tell him where they were. u He had not seen his wife and little -,g1rl, now five years of age, in four Sears. Four years in the invaded ter- dtory and not one word from them In that time. He did not know his second child born shortly after the Herman hordes swept over his coun- kry and buried two years later. To his little girl he was only a name Four years of hope and fears and Houbts. and then word from Evian khat they were there and would be 1T Bourg where he could reclaim them
 He carried in his hand a very much erumpled package, a doll he hac bought for his little girl He hac carried it around with him all day He had gone from bureau to bureau from official to official asking for in formation which would help to lint bis wife and child. He would have tC be patient. They would be traced He had only three days in which t' visit with his family, to make up fol Pour years. He despaired.
 Then some one told him to go to th' Anerican Red Cross. He came wltl very little hope, but left jubilant, Th' pe5 Cross was able to help him. Th' pad Cross knew where his wife an' ,btld were, knew their destination. Tn aastination was confirmed by tele hbone. In a few hours he would b svith his family. And we sent him o1 his way with an outfit for hls nut virl a few toys, something for his wifi snd a package of tobacco for himself

Ger many's great fear now is Bolshevisnl, he said, and mixed with this fear 5 the realization that Bolshevism owes half it's success to German support when it was weak and young.

The outside steel market during the
last week has been particularly quiet.
Conferences were held last Wednesday
and Thursday at Washington between
leading steel and iron interests and
the war industries board. at which es-
tablished prices to govern after March
81 were agreed upon The figures will
not be announced until approved by the
President, probably some day next
week The proceedings have been
closely guarded, but the belief prevails
that no radical changes have been
made. 1t is thought that basic iron
may be reduced S1.00 per ton. bringing
it down to s32 at the furnace. A pro-
portionate cut may therefore be ex-
pected in Eessemer. 1t is not unlikely
that establishments have been made in
certain steel products to bring them in
accord more closely with base prices.
Producers and importers of ferro al
Toys also conferred with the war in
dustries board to protest against prices
which they say are below the present
market. 1t is presumed this action was
taken to offset the possible demand by
steel producers that the price of alloys
be regulated.
