TEUTONS DEVOTE SPACE /
TO AMERICAN fighting.
Sehuermann Talks of Metz as a
christmas Present for Pres
ident Wilson,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, October 4.-The Amer
leans are filling a continually grow
ing amount of space in the battle
narratives of the German war cor
respondents. The former semi-con-
temptuous references to their scanty
numbers or fighting spirit are now
rare. They are being taken very
seriously.
Both Schuermann and DR.. Rooster,
who write for the Frankfort Gazette
and the Berlin Vorwaerts, respective
ly. report on the testimony of Ger
man soldiers themselves that the
Americans are cool and daring in at
tack, although at times overash,
and despite losses will come on again,
SO that the Baden, Wurttemberg and
Alsace-Lorraine troops who opposed
them in the recent Argonne fighting
reap extra praise for holding out as
long as they did.
One Baden regiment is reported to
have performed what is claimed to
be the remarkable feat of ''for
moment causing a whole American
division to waver." and was only stop
ped for fresh American reserves and
the advent of sixty battle planes.
The American attacks, wherever
they occur, are represented as fail
ures by these correspondents. Schuer-
mann says that the latest he hears is
that Metz y whose new governor,
Lieut.. Gen. Lequis, was appointed
yesterday-is to bea Christmas pres
ent for President Wilson.
Describing the Argonne fighting,
the feature of which was the employ
ment of large numbers of light tanks,
Schuermann says the Americans
thought tank war good sport. The
Germans thought it equally good
sport to pick them off with tank guns
and mines, and especially with hand
grenades.
The American prisoners, Rooster
says. behave quietly and decently.
The officers say, according to Rooster,
that America had no grudge against
the German people, and when asked
whether America would have come in
if there had been no U-boat war they
shrug their shoulders.

BUY ON COOPERATIVE PLAN.
French Manufacturers Take Action
as a War Measure.

What amounts to cooperative, syndi-
Gated buying in foreign markets has
been adopted as war measure by
French manufacturers who get raw
materials abroad. Commercial At
tache Pierce Williams, at Paris. points
out that French Industries, therefore,
are rapidly being centralized in syndi-
Gates acting on behalf of the French
government.
These importing syndicates are
known as consortiums. Their capital
stock is fixed by the government, and
each manufacturer requiring the raw
materials is permitted to take a Ger
tain amount based on his pre-War
imports.
The consortium is permitted to dis
tribute the material to the members
at price determined by the ministry
of commerce. 1t is expected that
wasteful competition will be pre-
vented in markets which also must
supply Frances associates in the war,
and that profiteering by mushroom
firms will be eliminated.

COTTON CROP SUFFERS SERIOUS LOSS
FROM DROUGHT

An announcement just issued from Washing
ton states that a disaster unparalleled in the his
tory Of the cotton growing industry OF the
United States has befallen the American cotton
crop this year as the result of the severe
drought in July and August.
The government s cotton report, issued on
September 3, forecast the production this year
at IL 1877 900 five hundred-pound bales, which is
4,098,0 bales less than was forecast at the be-
ginning of the season.
The report places the cotton condition at
557 per cent Of normal, the lowest given out by
the agricultural department in any month since
crop reporting was begun in 1870 Cotton grow
ers planted this year, the second largest crop
on record and prospects seemed bright for one
of the largest crops ever grown, but drought
during July reduced the crop by 1,616, 900 bales,
and continued dry weather in August caused
the greatest deterioration ever recorded in a
single month
report from Birmingham, Alabama, states
that the question Of securing cotton pickers is
proving great annoyance to southern planters.
Fear is expressed that large amount OF cotton
will go to loss if more pickers are not secured.

PRESIDENT SETS 1920 A BUSHEL AS
MINIMUM PRICE FOR 1919 WHEAT CROP

By proclamation issued on September 2,
President Wilson set 1920 a bushel as the
minimum base price granted by the govern
ment for the 1919 wheat crop.
This is the same price granted for the
1918 crop. A dsinterested commission, the
president stated, will be appointed next spring
to see whether the increased cost Of farm labor
and supplies would justify an increase above
that price.
Possibility of peace before the middle Of
1920 was indicated in a memorandum writ
ten by the president and accompanying the
proclamation, as a factor in determination Of
the president to maintain the present price
for the 1919 crop.
The president, in setting the price at 1920
a bushel, did so in face Of the recent recon-
mendation of the general agricultural advis-
DRY committee of the food administration and
the Department Of Agriculture, that the price
be fixed at $2.46 for the 1919 crop.

VATICAN PURSUING STEADY POLICY OF
RESUMING AND ESTABLISHING
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH
ALLIED POWERS

Mr.. Henry Wood, United Press staff CORES
pondent Of the Chicago Evening Post, in an
article written from Rome, Italy on August
IL, declares that the vatican, in preparation
for the great "after the war" task Of rees-
tablishing the entire world on basis of per-
manent peace, is pursuing a steady policy of
resuming and establishing diplomatic relations
with as many countries as possible.
Shortly after the opening of the war, diplo-
matte relations were resumed between Eng
land and the vatican, and papal nuncio also
was accepted at Constantinople by the Ottoman
Empire. More recently, the vatican has been
able to resume diplomatic relations with Por-
tugal and to enter into relations with China
and Japan, thus establishing official relations
with various nations representing all Of the
principal religions Of the world.
Diplomatic negotiations are understood to be
under way between the vatican and Switzer
land for an exchange Of diplomatic represent
atives One Of the most cherished projects
along this line which the pope is declared in
competent circles to have at heart is to see the
apostolic delegate representative at Washing
ton raised to the position Of papal nuncio or
papal ambassador. At the present time, no
official relations exist between the United
States and the vatican. The apostolic delegate
at Washington is there merely to watch over
the interests of American Roman Catholics.
Mr.. Wood adds that there always is more
or less probability of an eventual resumption

HEARTY RESPONSE TO GARFIELD'S
REQUEST FOR CONSERVATION
OF GASOLINE

In answer to the governmental request for
gasoline conservation, the Chicago boulevards-
ordinarily, on Sunday, presenting solid streams
of automobiles loaded with pleasure seekers
passing in both directions, as far as the eye can
reach-were absolutely bare last Sunday except
for an occasional horse-drawn vehicle.
Fuel administration officials at Washington
estimate that nearly eight million gallons Of
gasoline will be saved each Sunday by compli-
ance with Administrator Garfeld's request
East Of the Mississippi river there are approx
imately 100000 cars in use, and the estimate
saving is based on the use Of an average Of two
gallons of gasoline for each car
DIR. Garfield, by way Of explanation has said:
No person in actual need Of the use of
motor conveyance is under moral obligation to
deny himself that facility; EVERY PERSON
WHO rs NOT IN ACTUAL NEED OF A MO-
TOR CONVEYANCE, WHO CAN REACH HIS
DESTINATION BY OTHER MEANS OR CAN
POSTPONE HIS TRAVEL, rs DISTINCTLY
UNDER MORAL OBLIGATION TO FOREGO
MOTORING, that gasoline may be assured for
the allied drive that has increased the demand
for overseas gasoline"
Certain classes have been granted official ex-
emption cards, such, for instance, as Red Cross
emergency work, hospital ambulances, ETC.
Automobiles exempted, but not requiring cards.
lioO AIC APPARATUS POIICo pdCIOI Wagons
undertakers' conveyances and repair outfits
operated by public service companies.
Fuel Administrator L. P. Erskine Of Lake
County has pointed out that voluntary and
complete compliance with DR.. Garfeld's re-
quest will shorten the period necessary to ac-
cumulate the required supply Of gasoline, but
that failure Of general observance will make
it necessary for the fuel administration ito
issue mandatory regulation.

WORLDS LARGEST REVENUE BILL NOW
BEFORE CONGRESS
&C. B. W.

The new revenue bill-greatest Of all tax
measures in the history Of the nation, or OF any
nation-with levy affecting every individual
and business concern in the United States, was
introduced into the national House of Repre-
sentatives on September 3. Leaders hope to
send it to the Senate within ten days from the
time debate began, and it's passage by the
middle of September is expected.
The final estimate by the house ways and
means committee of the revenue to be yielded
under the new bill is $8012, $4,000 as against
1894 ,633, 900 last year under the present
revenue law. The largest source OF estimated
revenue is from taxes on excess profits, lnclud-
ing war taxes-$3, 100 ,OOO, OOO-and the next
is from taxes on incomes-$1, 482, 600 from
individuals and $828,0O0,0O0 from corpora
tons The tax on beverages also is expected
to yield ST., 137000,00O.
Washington correspondent, commenting
upon the measure, says:
'tMany sources and objects Of taxation in the
bill are new ito the people Of this country. Some
of these are the 10 per cent tax on clothing on
carpets, picture frames travelling equipment,
umbrellas. kimonos and footwear.
''They will pay tax Of 10 per cent on their
automobiles in addition to the manufacturers
tax of per cent, and they will have to contr1-
butte cents on every gallon of gasoline used
for running the car
tPianos, pipe organs, electric FANS bathing
suits, sculpture, paintings, yachts and motor
boats are some Of the other new things to be
taxed.
The measure is calculated to raise one-third Of
Americas estimated $24000,000,0O0 war ex-
penses for the present fiscal year by taxation.
It leaves approximately $16,0OO,O0OOOO to be
met by the issue of Liberty bonds.

Possibilities of Aerial Warfare in Fut

John d. Ryan, new assistant secretary OF war
and director Of the air service, states that orders
for the twelve-cylinder Liberty motors have IN

mands for these engines are far greater than
American producers can meet

planes, with all it's drawbacks and delays, has
made satisfactory progress, and while America
has not met the need for machines because the
need has never been met on any front, planes
are going across the water in fair quantities.
Every one Of our allies is calling for Liberty
engines, demanding them, finding it impossible
to meet their own production of planes with
engines
The possibilities of airplane warfare in the
future were outlined by Lieutenant Bottle of
Berlin at a recent meeting of the German Aerial
League and published in Der Motorwagen,
Berlin Journal, and later copied in the National
Geographic Magazine.
He predicted that upon the cessation of pre-
sent hostilities, all the nations would ait once
proceed to build up an mpenetrable series Of
modern defensive works extending several miles
behind their frontiers, and which it would be be-
yond the power of human beings to break
through except by the aerial arm. In future
wars it would be necessary to invade the enem-
les territories by means Of tens Of thousands Of
airplanes, which by dropping hundreds Of tons
of explosives would destroy all industrial works,
transport routes, etc., and thus dalay the ad-
vance Of the troops and impede preparations for
offense or defense The war would be won
within the first few days Of the declaration Of
hostilities by the power or powers which were
thus able ito throw in the largest weight of
aerial frightfulness" and thereby paralyze the
fighting efficiency of their opponents before even
battle had been fought or a campaign opened.
