FEDERAL TRADE

AROUSE PROTEST
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Criticizes Commission and
Urges Changes

Washington, Aug. 24.-Recent activi-
ties of the Federal Trade Commission
In relation to big business interests have
drawn an emphatic protest to President
Wilson from the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States. 1t was learned to-
day that the headquarters of the Cham
Der here has sent a letter to the Presi-
dent vigorously criticizing the commits
sion and making suggestions, it is un-
derstood. for changes in personnel and
methods
The letter has not been made public
either by the White House or the Cham
ber, and White House officials declined
to discuss 1t in any way.
Bitter resentment against the COM
mission among some of the leading busi-
ness interests was aroused by its report
on protiteering, submitted to the Presi-
dent on the basis of treasury income
tax returns. as well as by the protracted
investigation of the packing industry,
eliminating in a report denouncing the
five great packing concerns as mo-
nopoly and recommending the Govern
ment assume complete control of the
meat industry by taking over and op-
Grating stock yards and other facilities.

MAY RESULT in BREAK
BY the Associated Press

Amsterdam, Aug "a,
Germany has energetlcally protested
against the intention Of Spain to replace,
sunken Spanish tonnage with interned
German ships, according to an Official
statement issued in Berlin.
A Madrid dispatch August 81 stated
that the Spanish ambassador at Berlin
had been instructed to inform the Ger
man Government that Spain will utilize
German vessels now in Spanish ports
In place Of Spanish ships sunk by Ger
man submarines It was said that this
decision was announced in an oficial
statement issued after a meeting Of the
Spanish ministry at San Sebastian
Paris, Aug. - tIavas) s).-Negotiation
between Berlin and Madrid over Spain's
decision to replace sunken Spanish ships
with German interned vessels have fall
ed according to the Petit Parisien. I'm
perial Chancellor Won Hertling does not
desire to furnish any guarantees against
submarine warfare. 1t is said, and the
Maura Ministry Of Spain is maintaining
Its position. .,
1t Is said that at meeting Of the
Ministers at San Sebastian last night
complementary decisions were reached in
the controversy with Germany. %
London, Aug. 24.-Germany's reply to
Spain's announcement as to submarine
warfare, which is reported to have been
sent, says that such procedure on the
part of Spain as was indicated in tho
instructions sent to the Spanish Am
bassador at Berlin might possibly result
in the severance Of relations between the
countries, according to a Copenha gen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company. The note declares, however,
that Germany is ready to consider limit
Ing the operations of submarines out

1t is asid that Germany has informed
spain that she cannot render any guar
antee In this respect and cannot treat
Spain In an exceptional way. Germany.
the note says, cannot give UP the SUBJ
marine warfare and hopes that Spain,
which has expressed a desire to main
tain her neutrality. will really remain
neutral.

USING nEHYDRATTON

The industry of dehydrating vege.
tables In this country has been made
use of by the Quartermaster Corps OF
the Army for the protection Of the
American soldiers in France. Gen.
eral Pershing, to conserve tonnage
and guarantee against any possible
shortage Of vegetables, suggested the
drying of vegetables as reserve for
his men. His suggestion has been
acted upon.
Successful dehydration involves
much more than merely taking the
water out OF the fresh vegetables.
The processes by which this extrac-
tion of water can be accomplished
without injury are complicated. The
advantages of dehydration are that
vegetables so prepared will keep in-

may be worn for two or more wounds
received at the same time. :.
