SIMONDS SAYS AMERICA MUST
 END RED RULE
Europe Knows That Only Chance for Safe Peace
 Lies With U. s.

Frank H. 3imonds, the noted war cor respondent, in one of his compre. hensive peace confersnce stories from Paris, says:
 "All Europe recognizes the fact that the war is not yet over; that 1t will not be over until it's consequences have been liquidated in sure peace.
 All allied Europe equally recognizes that only with Americas continued aid can safe peace be obtained and preserved. Accordingly, Americas aid being priceless, no price is too great to pay.
 "The one essential thing is that America should stay to finish the job. If she doesn't we may have anarchy od Bolshevism from Kamchatka to Lands End"
 Simonds is on the job and knows. He isn't writing Victory Loan propa- ganda but the Victory Loan must be put over" because of the very facts that he brings out.
 We have got to finish the job. To finish the job costs money. Every American citizen has got to dig down and help finish 1t with the Victory Loan.

and copper, he would be in excellent financial condition. Unfortunately, this is impossible.
 Much of the war material can be used only as junk. It is supposed to be time for turning swords into plow- shares and spears into pruning hooks, but the cost is great. That is why there is some slowig down in manu- featuring. In probability several thousand factories work was going on for definite purpose which wholly failed to be of benefit.
 Uncle Sam is trying to sell his junk, but most of it is of small commercial value. It must be turned back into raw material with the great loss of expert labor used on its original for nation. Figures of salvage are not complete, but Uncle Sam hopes to col- lect one billion dollars out of what cost him ten times as much.

.ENV|ABLE RECORD OF THE \
 l2TH RESERVE DISTRICT

An enviable record in oversbscribing four Liberty Loans faces the Twelfth Federal Reserve District as the Local committees of the seven states and two Territorities in the district make their plans to eclipse during the Vic tory drive the marks which were es- tablished under the stress of actual fighting on the Western front.
 Upon each previous call by the gov ernment the Twelfth District has gone over its quota. In the first Liberty Loan of 1917 just after this country entered the war the quota of this dis trict was $143,644,950. At the end of the campaign the district had sub scribed $175,623,9OO more than ESQ., 000,000 in excess of what had been asked or an oversubscription of 22.24 per cent.
 The quota set for the Twelfth Dis trict at the beginning of the second loan in the fall of 1917 was $21O,000,- 900 and again the district periodically gave the government more than was asked by buying $293, 160,5 500, the to- tai of excess subscriptions amounting to $40,000,000 or an oversubscription of almost forty per cent, the best rec ord made for any of the four previous drives.
 When the government called for the third loan early in 1918 the quota as signed to the Twelfth District was the same as in the second drive and for a third time the district did more than it's alloted share by taking $2S7,975,- 900 an oversubscription of 37.19 per cent. The territory of Alaska carried off the banner for the best showing making a subscription of 252 per cent of the quota given her, Arizona came next with subscription amounting to 213 per cent of her quota and Nevada
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-04-26

followed with total of 1S6 per cent of her quota.
 The fourth loan last September more than doubled the amount of any of the previous loans and gave this district a quota of $4O2,000,0OO. The district raised $462, ,250, ,0O0 or an over- subscription of IA per cent. Alaska again captured first place for oversub- scribing it's quota taking 232 per cent of te amount asked.
 During the four loans 4,550,302 peo- pie have subscribed for bonds each loan finding an increased number of supporters. There were 100000 sub scribers to the first loan 624,654 to the second loan, 1,4O2,5s5 to the third loan and 2,123,063 to the fourth loan. The population of the seven states and two territories, Washington, Ore gon, California, Utah, Nevada, Idaho Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii is 5,338,- 750. The percentage of the popula- tion of the district was 32.89 for the first loan, 54.91 for the second, 53.93 for the third and 84.71 for the fourth loan.
 With better terms to offer purchas- CTS in the Victory Liberty Loan local committees throughout the Twelfth Federal Reserve District have report ed to general headquarters in San Francisco that they are sure of over subscribing the districts quota of $301 100000 during the campaign for the fifth war loan.

WAR JUNK COST HIGH
Philadelphia Inquirer)

Eventually we shall have paid out 35 billion dollars in this war, not in- cluding interest, pensions or other con alterations. Of this amount about ten million will be due from foreign na- tions and we may or may not get the money. It is perfectly we'll known that great portion of our own ex- penditures was for materials never used.
 We had practically no artillery in France when the armistice was signed and our airplane showing was little better, We had enormous stores in this country for shipment which never were needed. If Uncle Sam could sell at cost price the goods on hand, in- cluding such raw materials as wool

NEVADA SENATOR
 WANTS EMBARGO
 TAKEN OFF SILVER

Tonopah, Nev., dispatch says-A tel egram has been received from Key Pittman regarding his efforts to have the embargo lifted on silver shipments by the United States government. A copy of this message was also for warded to the secretary of the Ne vada Mine Operators association, urg- ing that body to assist in an endeavor to have the embargo taken off. Sem ator Pittman believes that if such an action is taken that the price of white metal will rapidly advance by reason of the great demand for the product. The telegram reads:
 "I have just sent the following tele- gram to secretary of the Nevada Mine Operators association. We should not be ungrateful to the treasury de- partment for agreeing to our silver bill for it protected us against the fixing of the price of silver by London and raised the price from S5 cents to over $1. For these reasons we did not fight the embargo on export of silver as a war measure. We must, of course see that the bill is not repeated as it guarantees a price, but I think conditions now warrant the removal at the present, as the demand is great and the price would go up. I have already made some headway along this line, but I need the active support of our miners and industrial and com mercial bodies."

TO PREVENT REFINANCING OF INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM CO

New York. July 11.-An' injunction suit to prevent refinapcing of the In- ternational Petroleum Company, a Maine corporation capitalized at $6, 100000 which controls 11O,00 acres of land in Tampico, as planned by John Hays Hammond, Harris Hammond and Frederick N. Watriss, voting trus- tees. was filed today in federal court by Thomas E. Wing, minority stockholder, who claimed to hold 43,- 552 shares.
 In his complaint.

Wing is substantially less than the face value of the said debentures and nothing whatever for the stock" The plan, according to Mir.

SENATORS IN CONFERENCE
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, July 11.-Senate lead CTS in the League of Nations contro- versy continued their conferences to- day in preparation for the ratification fight which will begin when the senate reconvenes next Monday While it was said the exact lines of division might not be drawn for some days further progress in solidifying their forces was claimed by both sides.
 President Wilson today saw none of the senators who have been active in the fight and while he conferred with Acting Secretary Polk at the state de- partment, it was understood other subjects furnished the basis of ~N ir discussion.
 Whether the presidents offer is to be accepted by the foreign relations committee remained an open queS- tion. Some of the opposition leaders are known to oppose inviting him be- fore the committee. but his supporters believe they can secure his appear ance should he request that they do so.
 It developed today that in his con- versa tions with senators yesterday at the capitol MT. Wilson went into great detail regarding the Shantung agree ment He was quoted as saying that the understanding that Shantung would be returned to China after a re- construction period was of a very de- finite nature, and that the only gain to Japan would be such benefit as she might derive from temporary use of the German railroads and other Ger man property in the territory.

FURTHER TESTIMONY IN
 THE FORD LIBEL SUIT

Mount Clemens, Mich, July II. When the armistice was signed on November II. 1918. the great Ford Mo
 tor Company plant at Detroit was en- t1rely given over to war work ac-
 cording to Edsel B. Ford. president of
 the company.
 Mr. Ford occupied the entire ses- sion of court today testifying in the
 suit of his father, Henry FcN, against
 the Chicago Daily Tribune in which
 he seeks 7$1,000.000 damages on a
 charge of libel.
 The Ford company manr%Actured Liberty a1rplane motors, MT. Ford
 testified, and by a new process cheap
 ened the production of cylinders for this motor and manufactured all of
 the cylinders used by the Ford com Liberty motors and likewise the bear lngs; it made nine or ten thousand artillery caissons: did the finishing work on two mig on helmets: per fected, and produced new light ar
 nor for tanks which withstc / the
 shock folder arn1cf twice it's weight ana thickness; produced 16 or IT
 tanks, and had an oEder for fifteen thousand of them when the war stop
 ped; turbines, gears and boilers for the Eagle boats; tractors to increase food production in England, and in a separate plant at River Rouge pro- duced huls for the Eagle boats. Harry Ford, witness continued, maintained i in England throughout the war a hos pital for Belgian refugees. and in the United States turned over to govern
 ment use large buildings in Cam
 bridge, Mass. Atlanta, St. Louis, Cleveland, Long Island City. Wash ington. and Detroit
 This testimony was largely design ed as an answer to the Tribune ale gation that in 1916 MT. Ford's pacifist utterances and attitude so threatened
 to weaken the military powers of the United States, thus destroying govern ment, that the newspaper was justi- lied in calling him an anarchist, as 1t
 did in an editorial June 23. 1916.

 The. great demand for American coal the report says. will result largely from decreased production in England due to the seven hour day obtained by English miners.

STATEMENT BY PACKER
 THOMAS E. WILSON

Chicago, July 11-Thomas E.. W.il- son, president of Wilson & Co. issued the following statement tonigh:
 After reading the latest attacks upon the meat packing industry. must say that it is unfortunate that state of mind seems to exist among the members of the federal trade com mission that they should be opposed to large business interests.
 Tt seems strange to me that in this report the federal trade commission failed to call attention of the people to facs in the food administration re- port, as shown on page 29, which re- lates to a wartime profit to the pack CTS.
 This report shows that the pack CTS were permitted to earn a maxi mum profit of g per cent. on sales of edible products upon capital invested. It also states that the profit of the five larger packers for the year end ing Nov. 1st. 1918. was a little over $40,0O0, 900 on an investment of over S714,00o, 900, meaning net profit of 5.6 per cent, or 3.4 per cent. less than that authorized by the government.
 These figures passed through the hands of the federal trade commits sion and the accuracy of these figures has not been and cannot be question: ed :"

21 UNIONS IN STEEL INDUSTRY
 DECIDE TO TAKE STRIKE VOTE

Washington, July 11.-Representa- tives of 24 affiliated international unions of workers in the steel indus try at a meeting here today adopted a resolution recommending that a strike vote be taken among their membership. Definite action on the recommendation will be taken at a conferenceAsof the international union presidets to be held in Pittsburgh July 20.
 Representatives of the. unions said the object of the strike if voted would be to enforce recognition of the unions and of collective bargaining by the steel industry which always has op- erated on an "open shop" basis. The union representatives claimed that a letter written by President Gcmpers, of the American Federation of Labor, to Judge Ebert H. Gary, as president of the American Iron and Steel Insti- tute, at the time of the federation's s Atlantic City convention. to ascertain the position of steel employers with regard to recognition of the unions, had not been answered. Failure on the ratf of- the steel Interests to re- spond, they said. led to the recom- mendatfon for a strike vote.
 Since the establishment of ma tional committee to head the A affil- Hated international steel unions was authorized by the American Fedora ton of-~Labor more than a year ago the union representatives said mem bership in the unions had increased until they now embrace from 9 to 90 per cent. of the steel workers in all the important plants of the country.
