Purchase Has Easy Victory

pricked forward, his neck arched.
But Hannibal had not seen the end
of his troubles. Laboring close to the
rail, away to the rear of Purchase,
Hannibal soon found himself in COM

rush through the stretch. This one
took the place easily. Fifty yards

but it was to prevent his mount from

close for comfort.

Hildreth Colt Gives Han

Shows His Superiority
By W. ]. Macbeth

SARATOGA. N. Y, Aug 26-Sam
Hildreth's great chestnut colt, Pur-
chase, drove another spike into his
three year-old throne chair this after
noon when he galloped to easy victory
in the Huron Handicap, at mile and
three sixteenths, the feature race of
the programme. The stake was worth
$4,000, but that was only a circum-
stance in the mind of Mr. Hldreth.
Purchase, as a three-year- old, has
done everything that could be asked

ability as a sprinter and shown stam-
ina and speed over a distance Of

best of his class. including the great

Purchase alone. Sir Barton has not
been out since Purchase took his
measure.

DROUGHT CUTS BRITISH CROPS

Crop prospects in Great Britain are very
poor, says Henry Hyde in a special cable
dispatch in the Chicago Tribune from Lon
don. A great drought of early summer
went far toward running the hay crop and
did great damage to wheat, oats and barley.
From May to the middle of June, hardly
drop of rain fell in the United Kingdom.
The famous green meadows of England
grew brown and parched and early vege-
tables withered on their stalks.
The international grain market of London
is undertaking to keep the country supplied
with wheat by importing from the United
States, the Argentine and Australia.
The drought had bad effect on all vege-
table and fruit crops. Strawberries and
other fruits were less than half an average
crop and prices are very high. Since jam
and marmalade are part of the British
breakfast, the shortage will be keenly felt
AS result of the drought, forest and
meadow fires broke out and hundreds of
square miles of country were burned over.
Mr.. Hyde says that it is impossible to find
anybody of authority who takes an optimis-
| tic view of the situation in Great Britain.
Food Controller George Roberts declares
that further increases in prices are newt
able, whether under government control or
not.

HOUSE PASSES DAYLIGHT REPEAL
BILL OVER PRESIDENTS VETO

Our readers will remember that some
time ago both Houses of Congress passed
this repeal bill, but the President vetoed
it. After the Presidents return from
Europe, the Congress again took up the bill,
adding it as a rider to one of the big gov
eminent bills, but the President the second
time vetoed it.
On August Is, the House of Representa-
tives, by vote of 223 to 101, again passed
the bill over the Presidents veto. The
Illinois Congressman, voting for the bill
over the Presidents veto, were Yates, Ma
son, Wilson, JUL, Fuller, Graham King,
Ireland, Mckinley, Rainey, Wheeler, Ro-
denberg, Williams and Denison: The three
members voting to sustain the President
were Madden, Gallagher and Chindblom,
all of Chicago.
Members opposed to continuing the law
declared the action of the House makes GER
tain the death-knell of daylight saving. They
declare that On every vote taken on the
subject in the Senate more than three to
one majority for the repeal had been re-
corded. Needless to say that the present
prospect causes great rejoicing among the
rural population.

MESOPOTANIA OR THE EUPHRATES
RIVER BASIN

In the newspaper, The Times, of India,
of June appears an article by Mr.. Edmund
Gambler, a representative of the British
press, with the Expeditionary Force of
Mesopotamia.
In this article, Mr.. Gambler says:
This year nearly a hundred canals on
the Hilleh branch of the Euphrates River,
which had fallen into disuse have been dug
out Three hundred thousand acres have
been brought under cultivation, and there
is promise of the greatest harvest in the
memory of man since the days of Nebuchad-
nezzar.
"This canalization is made possible by
the Hindieh barrage, part of the great
European irrigation scheme designed by Sir
William Wilcox"

GERMAN COAL AND IRON LOSS

A writer in the Chicago Herald and En-
anti,tey remarks:
"By the loss of Upper Silesia and Alsace-
Lorraine, Germany loses ST. per cent of her
coal output, 72.4 per cent of her iron ore,
74.7 per cent of her zinc and 1913 per cent
of her blast furnaces.
1t has been estimated that the cession of
territory to France, apart from the loss of
Upper Silesia, will reduce Germanys annual
pre-war productions of steel ingots from
100000 to 100000 tons, and increase
Frances capacity from 100000 tons to
100000 tons.
These figures show at once that as an
exporting country for iron and steel pro-
ducts Germany must cease to be important.
Out of total output of zinc of 3O1 ,521 tons

other reasons, the American troops of the
Eighth Calvary crossed the Mexican Dor
der at GAO o'clock this morning august
1o) in pursuit of the bandits.
These troops are being guided by the same
two aviators who were released upon pay
ment of the ransom authorized to be paid
by the American government. An airplane,
accompanying the expedition, received two
bullet holes through it, but the bandits have
not yet been captured.
Of the possibility of Americas Interior
ence in Mexico, Senator Lewis remarked:
president Wilson, backed by Republic
an Congress, has determined to protect
American life and American rights in Mexi-
co, even if that involves taking control of
Mexico by force
He claims his information was obtained
on unimpeachable authority, and further
said:
"The Administration is determined to put
a stop to such outrages as the incident of
the aviators. The note to Carranza is but
the first step in a movement to make Mexico
safe for Americans"
Great Britain also has pending contro-
versy with Mexico over many things, the
latest of which was the expulsion of Will
liam Cummings, the British charge d,affaires
in Mexico. A news dispatch of August II
said:
"The purpose of the British government
was to act with the United States govern
ment against Mexico, and this would be
so, because the League of Nations is not
vet able to function. The British govern
ment has officially called the attention of
the American State Department to the ex-
pulsion of Mr. Cummings"

FEDERAL INVESTIGATOR REPORTS
TO UNITED STATES SENATE CON-
CERNING PACKERS HUGE
PROFITS

William B. Colver, chairman of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, presented the report
of that body before the Senate Agricul-
tural committee, on August 18. He was
in the witness chair all day long, during a
grilling examination.
He reported the net profits during the last
year of the five big packers, Armour, Swift,
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy, to be $178 ,OO0,-
0OO He declared that these five men had
perfected machine that is constantly reach
ing out to seize and control all markets, and
something must be done to regulate them.
Following this report, the paper of We'd
nesday morning, August 20, reported that
the United States government had impan-
eled federal grand jury, which will be
asked to return criminal indictments against
the Chicago packers and food hoarders
United States Federal Judge George A.
Carpenter, of Chicago, was ordered to i'm
panel the jury. The calling of this grand
jury was without precedent in the federal
court for this time of the year. Judge
Carpenter returned from vacation trip
suddenly, and for this purpose, at the call
of United States Attorney Clyne.
Important evidence tending to show a
criminal conspiracy on the part of the food
dealers, including the "Big Five" Packers
especially have been increasing daily More
than fifty investigators have been checking
up on the daily sales of more than two thou
sand food dealers, including cold storage
men, wholesalers and retailers
The first action of the federal grand jury
is supposed to be the indictments against
John F. Campbell and John E. Bunker.
charged with sugar prohteering. Following
these men will come the packers.

in 1912, 225,175 tons came from Upper

in 1912, 225,175 tons came from Upper
Silesia.
"This loss is equally important from the
point of view of manufacturers. The fig
ures for the blast furnaces in 1911 are:
Sarre and Lorraine, 81; Upper Silesia, 81
loss of 118 out of total in the empire of
213; and of iron and steel foundries, al
will be lost out of 1,48o.
"In 1913 the German export of iron
goods, including tin plates, ETC., was over
$33O,OOO,O00, equal to 1872 per cent of her
total exports; and the export of machinery
and parts, including motor cars, was over
$185, 100000, equal to rs per cent of her
total exports. Coal, coke and briquettes
formed 7 per cent and wooden and cotton
goods about SO per cent and SO per cent.
ut will be seen at once that, as regards
the principal categories- namely, machin-
cry, iron goods and coal-Germany's capa-
city to export will be greatly diminished as
the result of the territorial cessions, and
even if, as is probably so, she imports iron
ore from Alsace-Lorraine and Upper Silesia
to be worked up, she will be unable to COM
pete in the worlds markets on the sar
scale as formerly"

GREAT BRITAIN ALREADY CON-
SIDERFD THE FIRST VIOLATOR
OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Z
COVENANT

This belief has come about through an
other secret treaty, by which Great Britain
grabs Persia, even at the risk of angering
Paris.
In news dispatch from Paris, the morn
ing of August II, may be found this signi-
fcant paragraph:
Although the Peace Conference has not
yet taken up the British-Persian treaty
which has just come to light, wherein the
British claim special privileges in Persia,
which practically makes Persia protec-
torate like Egypt, it is expected that the
subject will be brought up before the coun-
Gil of five, as soon as the Shah of Persia
arrives in Paris
1t is believed that the British treaty with
Persia violates certain of the Wilsonian
fourteen points and provisions of the League
of Nations.
The French and not the Americans are
expected to make most bitter fight upon
the British-Persian treaty. The French
press is already actively engaged in attack
ing it.
In the face of this treaty, the British re-
fuse to support the French claims in Syria.
The Shah of Persia will ask the United
States to request Great Britain to nullify
the treaty, which he claims was imposed
upon Persia, and to guarantee Persia's fur
Their sovereignty.
Great Britain wants Persia as buffer
state against Afghanistan, and to block the
road to India
United States Senator Mccormick an
nounced that he would deliver a speech in
the Senate, this week, upon the League of
Nations covenant in the light of the dis
closure that Great Britain has acquired COM
plete domination of Persia.
Secretary of State Lansing admitted yes
terday that all efforts to preserve the indie
pendence of Persia had proved failure.
1t seems that Great Britain is proceeding
to absorb Persia, notwithstanding the fact
that Persia is one of the states invited to
become a member of the League of Nations.

PRESENT JEWISH POPULATION IN
UNITED STATES

There are in the United States, according
to the Jewish Year Book just published,
over 100000 Jews. They number 1,5OO,-
600 in New York alone; thus New York
and not Jerusalem is the greatest Jewish
city in the world: All the ancient city of
Jerusalem within the old walls could have
been slowed away in Central Park, New
York City.
The United States is little more than
three per cent Jews, and every unit in the
three per cent is busy. Let any bigot, poll
teal, religious or otherwise, who thinks that
there are too many Jews in the United
States, remember what happened to Spain
and Portugal after the Jews were driven
out.

WILL GOVERNMENT SALE OF
WHEAT AT $3.50 HELP THE
SITUATION VERY MUCH?

"A financial writer remarks that govern
ment sale of wheat at $3.50 bushel, as
planned, might help lower the cost of living,
but will prices come down to the level of
those when wheat was marketed at ST so?
Since the summer of 1916 when this
price; prevailed, necessities have increased
two-fold and in some cases even more.
Breadstuffs especially have risen abnormal

COAL SITUATION, THREATENING

Relative to the coal situation, writer re-
marks:
"The middle-west and southwest are
threatened by the most serious coal short
age in years, primarily because the mines
now are working at only about half speed
because of the failure of the people to
shop early in laying in next winters sup
ply of fuel This is indicated by production
figures made available to local mine oper-
ators and labor officials by the United States
geological survey.
"According to these figures the go mines
in Iowa, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Okla
hon1a and Texas now are working an aver
age of only 3.4 days week and producing
2o7,845 less tons per week than their normal
output. Of this decrease, Isl ,41o tons is
due to the fact that there is no market,
while only 26,585 tons can be blamed on
strikes and labor shortage Car shortage
and mine disability is responsible for the re-
mainder of the decrease
Mine operators declare that in most
places they would have little trouble in
working their mines at approximately full
speed, but that the public generally refuses
to purchase coal in the summer for winter
use and that as result they cannot afford to
operate more than half the usual time. Ur-
gent pleas are being sent out in all these
states, asking that winter fuel supplies be
ordered at once"
Missouri is suffering the most from
strikes and labor shortage, while Iowa is af-
fected the least. In Iowa, however, general
strike is threatened. The men are prepared
to present demands this Fall for 6-hour
day and increased wages. If the strike is
called, it will affect 1900 men and III
mines
