Washington, Sept. T.-Warning that

and reduced consumption. on the other
II high prices are TO be brought down
is voiced by the federal reserve board
in its September bulletin issued today.
After reviewing conditions OF for

ance of trade, the federal reserve
board also advises the banks against
loading up with slow credits and with
investment securities OF limited mar
Reliability.
The board says regarding the pres
ent trade balance. now in favor of this
country:
Whatever economic and financial
justification there may be for the vast
quantities of merchandise the United
States has been sending to Europe,
payment for which, looking at the
transaction from the point OF view OF
the nation as a whole. Is to be made
sometime in the future when the eco
nomic and financial circumstances of
the importing nations Of Europe are
more satisfactory, the immediate pres
ent effect of II in many Tines OF indus
try. is to curtail the supplies available
for the American consumer and there
by to become factor OF considerable
Importance in our price level
. Buying in competition with export
demand undoubtedly has been ma
tor cause OF rising prices in the post
war period In the United States.
''As long as circumstances make It
necessary or advisable for the United
.,taLes. " sell a large volume OF mer-
chandise TO Europe on credit, there
must be shortages OF supply in the
domestic market unless industry Is
kept in high state of activity and all
hands are at work to increase output
The whole situation can be met

The hoard expresses the opinion
that the probable demands of foreign
nations upon this country for recon

the regular Sunday church parade.
Suddenly, out of as side street
dashed three automobiles occupied
with armed civilians. who ordered the
military to halt and deliver their
arms. The commander Of the squad
ordered his soldiers to fix their bay

diately opened by the military and 4
regular street battle followed. Both
parties were of equal strength but
The Sim Feiners proved better shots.

IRA NELSON NORRIS .
GETS GERMAN POST
Though Official An
nouncernent Is N O. t
Made, Minister Of
Sweden Expected to Be
First Ambassador to
Republic.

BY KARL III. Won wIEGAND,
Universal Service STAFF Correspondent.
Berlin. Sept Ira Nelson Morris
United States minister to Sweden. ac-
cording to a report received here. has
been selected as Americas first am
bassador to the German republic.
Official announcement. according to
the same report, naturally will not be
made until the state of war. which
technically continues to exist between
Germany and the United States, is
ended either by ratification of the
treaty or by special resolution of the
senate.
The origin of the report is difficult
to trace, but it appears to have come
by way of Paris and The Hague. AS
the Germans are as much interested.
il not more so, in the question as to
who will represent America In Ber-
lin as they are In the German repub-
lies selection of a representative to
Washington, the report has attracted
much attention, particularly because
Of Mr.. Norris efforts at Stockholm in
the matter of bringing German pfls-
oners home from Russia.
No less interest is shown in the
more vague rumors coming from New
York by way Of Paris that the presi-
dent viii name Samuel Untermyer for
the Berlin post. Other reports credit
Henry Morgenthau with aspiring to
the Berlin ambassa dorship. The lat
ter was regarded here with more or
less favor at one time, but his book on
the war appears to have robbed him
of some of his popularity here.
Friends Of Robert r. Skinner.
United States consul-general in Lon
DON. and formerly at Berlin, who has
been called the ablest official in the
consular service also are credited with
putting him forward as candidate
for the Berlin Enthusiastically in re-
ports reaching here.
Won Haimhausen Dropped.
Great Britain's appointment OF Lord
Grey to Washington has caused the
lists to be re-opened for another re-
view of the men considered qualified.
Haniel Won Haimhausen. former coun-
sellor to the German embassy at
Washington under Count Won Bern
storff, has practically been dropped
from consideration for Washington
and pressure is being brought to bear
to SHIFT consfderation of DR. Snlf from
the Warrington to the London post,
Prince Hermann Hatfield, who was
secretary to the German embassy in
London for a time under Metternich
and who later retired to enter the
banking business in London and Count
George Wader, chief censor in the for
eign office curing the first years OF the
war, but who was forced out of office
by Ludendorff on the ground that he
was q defeatist. are among the latest
names mentioned for the Washington
post. Both are very wealthy.

now been substituted for Count Won

Fifteen Russian girls. dressed in
their confirmation clothes, were
dragged from a church one Sunday
morning in Spasskoe, Siberia, by Jap
anese soldiers and Criminally assault
ed. Their frantic mothers ran scream
ing to the American garrison across
the street and begged that their
daughters be saved. The priest and
Russian colonel. n. Ivanhoff. home
on leave, followed on their heels and
pleaded with the officer in command
to prevent the outrage.
All could do was call on the
japanese Commandant and ask him
to control his men," explained the
American officer. of course I was
too late but I could not turn my
troops out because l had been In
strUCted to remember. on all ocCa-

Thee Russian community was so
aroused over the crime that the Japa-
nese regiment was removed from
Spasskoe after the facts had been
laid before the japanese commanding
general in Nladivostok.
Say Japanese Are Poor Soldiers.
This. however, is one Of a Ions list
of similar outrages. The Japanese
have treated the Russians as a con-
quered people and have exercised
Prussian methods in all their deal
