Amsterdam, July 31.-Panic has
seized the German commercial world

war. The Huns fear that whether
or not they are victorious, their
business will never sgain pe what
it was before 1914.
DR.. Lohmann, president of the

many should reply 20 tn, allies
threatened raw mar ,rials war

2. Germany shall have restored
to her as much as may be left of
the tonnage taken away from her
in violation of international law
or receive compensation therefor
in kind. In addition, Germany shall
have placed at her disposal suffi-
cient tonnage to bring the above
mentioned raw materials to her
ports.
3. Germany demands that the
resolutions Of the allies Paris eco

forced. If they are enforced the
Germanic powers. must close their

crippled condition Of the board-but
that's where the rub comes In.
Under the act creating the board no
appointments shall be made except

ate" and the Senate these days is
without a quorum. It Is therefore i'm
possible for the President to make q
recess appointment. or to ask Mr..
Warhurg to hold over until the return
OF the Senate. for the latter move
would also be contrary to the law.
May Reappoint warburg.
II Mr.. Warburg Is reappointed. or
successor chosen, he will hold Of
nee for a term Of ten years, and Mr..
Deiano's successor will serve out the
unexpired portion Of his eight years

mentioned for the place. Chief
among these Is c.. 8. Alexander.

AIRCRAFT DEPARTMENT
OPPOSED BY DANIELS
Secretary Desires Navy to Continue
Its Own Activities.

Any effort by Congress to create
an air ministry to control the pro-
duction OF aircraft will be ,opposed
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
it became known yesterday. He said:
There would be no more reason
for establishing single control over
aircraft than there would be for es-
tablishing partial control Of subma-
rines in the War Department"
He indicated that the functions of
the army and navy are at wide vari-
ance and may continue to be for
long time. He believes that the
navy has been uniformly successful
in bringing speedy creation of air
planes for the use of the navy. and
feels that this work can be carried
forward with equal success in the
future under the skilfull direction of
the officers who already have nego-
tiated their tasks skilfully and with
dispatch.

FRANCE STOPS
GOUGTNG U. S.
OVERSEAS MEN
Stores That Charge iYanks
More Than Poilus to Be
Dealt With.

Paris. July zi.-The French minis
ter OF agriculture and supplies has
acted to stop profteering against
American soldiers.
Store keepers have been selling
American and British troops their
goods at prices higher than those
charged to French civilians. and In
an order issued to all the projects
OF France, the minister Of agricul-
ture has condemned this practice and
ordered that Il be stopped.
'I cannot condemn too greatly such
q procedure" he says. '.as Il is in
complete opposition to the spirit
which SHOULD exist between the al
lies.
LET us not forget that for the
same ideal and with the same effort
the armies of our allies Of Europe
and America are marching with ours
to dispute foot by foot the agres-
sions Of the enemy on the soil Of
our invaded regions.
To Stop Practices.
Undoubtedly realize that some
of the increases In prices may be
explained at least In part by the
difficulties Of our retailers I'm getting
provisions and the work OF our small
producers. But these reasons can
not Justify the asking Of higher
prices to men who are united to us
by the fraternity OF arms on the
battlehelds OF France.
THE government is therefore re-
solved to put q stop to these regret
table practices. All persons guilty
Of ouch acts are to be delivered to
Justice to be tried by the applica-
ton Of the law of April 20, 1916, on
Illegal increasing Of prices."
To assist in checking profteering
Gen. Pershing has ordered that the
American soldiers report all cases
OF excessive prices charged them.
