RUMOR IS INTERNED FOR
THE DURATION OF WAR

TO rumors set af1oat that the govern
ment intended to fix the price of cot
| ton.
The effort being made to stop ru-
NOR spreading is new and has never
Deen done before. 1t has been eff
fectiN = to a degree. although it did
not prevent the f1OtatiOn of a rumOr
that the German crown prince and
4oOOO men had been captured by the
allies. This rumor started the rounds
shortly after the opening of the stock
market and later when it came back
TO the exchange the total bag of Teu
tons had reached $4,000.
Cur1OuSly enough during the recent
visitation of German submarines to
these shores the rumor factory was
comparatively idle. the only story
emanating from that quarter being a
rumOr that six German submarines
were lying to off Atlantic City get
ting ready to lombard the resort
Since the various exchanges banned
the dissemination of rumors their
point OF origin has been carefully con
cealed so that it is next to impnssi-
bic nowadays to run them down at
their source.
Curb on Wild Stories.
The German kaiser, who ,ust
yield the palm only to the crown
prince IN the number of times he has
been killed in this war, has been killed
on the stock exchange time and time
again since 1914. On other occasions
he has died a natural death from q
strange malady. There was time
when the death of the kaiser meant
to Wall street the end of the war So
that rumors of this character were
often put out with a view to intiuenc
ing the course of market prices. But
since the exchange banned rumor
mongering the kaiser has not been
killed" once in the financial district
In the markets of 1915 and 1916 re.
ports of war orders placed with in
dustrlal companies filled Wall street
for months. Some of the r,1mors
proved to be true, whereas others
were made out of whole cloth. Peri
odlcally there came also runners ot
peace proposals which on a number Of
occasions eXerted an important m
f1uence on stock market prices. The
most frequently appearing reportS
have been those of vessels snnlS at
sea.
1t would of course be too much tc
say that the exchange authorities have
effectively checked rumors spreading
oy their recent action, although un
doubtedly the tendency is toward
suppresslng wild stories that might
be harmful both to sentiment and to
market values.

markets. have all felt the hand of the
war goo in varying degree, and the
changes that have taken place in busi
ness methods and customs in the
street would surprise the Wall street
frequenter of five or ten wears 400
Probably one of the most interest
ing developments in the financial dis
trlct since our entrance into the war
mas been the attempt made by the
market authorities to put the ban on
the rumOr-monger. In normal times
the most gossipy place in the coun-
try is to be found right in the finan-
clai district where rumor is born
every minute. Millions of dollars
have been made and lost in Wall
street on the circulation of rumors.
There have been times when wild
stories were deliberately concocted for
stock market purposes.
Unprecedented on Street.
Dame Rumor lately, however, has
been taken in hand by the officials of
the New York stock exchange and
the New York cotton exchange. and
while she is still to be found at large.
her activities have been much re-
strlcted. On the stock exchange the
governors recently adopted resolu-
tlons to the effect that "the circula

sensational character by members of
the exchange or their firms will he
deemed an act detrimental to the in.
terest and welfare Of the exchange.
Similar resolutions were ad0pted nv

TWO SUBMARINES ARE SUNK
IN ATTACK ON LEVATHAN

1T was over III less time than 1t
takes to tell 1t. At the same time the
next nearest destroyer was perhaps
1OO yards away, spinning around in a
tight little circle and dropping depth
bombs as fast as 1t could spill them
over the stern. Presently great oily
DloD OF water rose and the destroyer
curved away from the ship and went
over to the first one to see what 1t was
doing. The rest Of them had apparent
ly gone plumb crazy. They were SIM
ply whipping the nearby surface of
the sea to white ribbons.
Living Wall Formed.
"A big flock of English gunboats and
destroyers came up from nowhere in
particular and moved along ahead of
US and on our fanks. We reduced our
speed to theirs and our own flock of
wasps came up and formed a living
wall around us and we moved along
up to where an hour later an English
pilot was picked up who took us
through the mine fields and into port.
I'VE learned then from the COM
mander of the destroyer fleet, who
came aboard us, that there had been
three subs waiting for us. They had
hred three torpedoes at short range.
but just as the fracas started we had
been signaled to turn sharp and beat
1t. We did. The torpedoes skinned
our sides. Two Of the submarines went
to Davy Jones locker and they kind of
felt that the other one was smothered
the same afternoon"

The average Garrett countian was
not aware until last Monday that there
existed such an organization as the

there before private homes to render a
selection, it became apparent that the
band was reality and their efforts was

The damp, cold weather, with the

caused much anxiety for fear of frost.
Nearly all crops are looking fine, ex-

good.
The first of series of patriotic meet
ings throughout the county in behalf of
the War Savings Stamp drive was held
here Wednesday evening, June 18th, by
County Agent Middleton and Rev. APP
pleton, Of Oakland. The addresses by
the above gentlemen were extremely
good and had telling effect on the
crowded house of patriotic people. De-
spite the halt-witted attempts at
spreading German propaganda by scabs
of the kaiser $500 worth of stamps were
sold.

vicinity were called to the colors this
