Just before starting out on his speak
ing tour President Wilson announced
that a general conference on indus
trial and economic questions would be
held in Washington early in October.
Already number of leaders of finance,
manufacturing, labor and agriculture
have been invited and the LIST will be
enlarged from time to time. The pres
ident and members of his cabinet will
take part in the discussions, and 1t is
the hope and belief of Mr.. Wilson and
indeed of everyone that the sessions Of
this round table will have decisive ben
efcial results in the way of stabillzing
industrial conditions. Certainly much
good should come of the frank inter
change of opinions and suggestions
that is planned.
In general the labor situation Is I'M
changed, pending the presidents tour,
the war on high prices and the above
mentioned conference. At the same
time the radical elements are keeping
busy, and it may be the threatened
strike of steel workers will come any
day.

Mexican soldiers in the Carranza
uniform provided the latest compllca-
ton in the Mexican situation by shoot
ing at an American army airplane that
was patrolIng the border near Laredo
Tex. One of the aviators, Capt. Davis
w. McNabb, was wounded. The Mex
lean authorities said the machine was
over Mexican territory at the time !;
the American officials on the ground
denied this, and the administration at
Washington patiently awaited further
information. The American army is
growing FESTIVE under the evident con-
tempt in which 1t is held by Mexico.

The supreme council handed to Aus

AS for the Chinese, If Yosuke Mat
sucka, a member of the japanese peace
delegation, is to be believed, the wind
viii soon be taken out of the sails of
those who are shouting against the
Shantung settlement. He thinks Japan
will open negotiations in a very few
weeks for the settling of the Shantung
question In a way that will satisfy eva
eryone. Tokyo will offer TO restore the
territory to China, withdrawing all
japanese troops. STIMULATING that the
peninsula shall be open to information
al trade and that there shall be an in
ternational settlement at Tsing-Tao,
and that the Shantung railway shall
be operated by Chlno-Japanese joint
corporation. There are reasons to be-
lieve the Chinese government is not
nearly so angry over the Shantung ar
ticle as the American opponents of the
treaty pretend to be.

Hungary continues to present the
the peace conference The Roumanian
occupants of the country so far have
been absolutely defiant of the orders
of the supreme council and are said
to be plundering it in most shame
full way. Finally the eXasperated
council last week dispatched to the
Roumanians an ultimatum c0uched in
drastic terms, demanding that they
evacuate Hungary and hand over to
the allies for proper distribution all
the goods they have requisitioned. The
Roumauan diplomatic representatives
in the allied capitals also were sum-
moned by the foreign ministers who
impressed on them the seriousness of
the situation that would arise If their
government should refuse to comply
The position of the Roumanians Is that
what they call the war between them
and the Hungarians is a new affair and
that the allied conference has nothing
to do with 1t.
In Budapest they were trying hard
10 establish a government that the al
lies would recognize. Friedrich offer
ed to resign in favor of a coalition cab
met formed by Heinrich, wholesale
hardware merchant, on certain condi-
tons All Jews are barred from the
Heinrich ministry, but all other classes
and parties are represented.

The senate has passed the highly i'm
pertant bill providing for the lease Of
public lands with deposits Of OIL coal,
gas, phosphate and sodium, and the
measure has gone to the house. Sem
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin says the bill
goes further In the protection of the
public interest than any other bill ever
proposed in the senate or house. Other
senator's charged that 1t was framed
in the interest of the Standard Oh com
pany. II places the leasing of all lands
in the hands Of the secretary of the
interior and fixes the minimum and
maximum royalties. One amendment
adopted compels constituent compan-
les OF the Standard OIL company to
sell their product at the same price In
all parts of the country, and another
is designed to force those companies
to become independent in fact as well
as In name.

TrotsAy, addressing the Petrograd SOW

The reports that General Cough, the

untrue. The Poles also, using tanks
for the first time, whipped the bolshev-
Xxi, capturing the fortified town of Bob

Quick to resent attacks on the pack
ing industry, several big clubs and as
sociations of Chicago have gone on rec
ord against the proposed restrictive
legislation by congress. The secretary
of the Chicago board of trade said its
members were united In opposition to
the licensing features of the pending
bills, believing the whole licensing sys-
TEN was wrong, or, If right, should be
applied to all business. All of these
organizations seem to assume that the
reports of the federal trade commits
sion and the allegations on which legal
action against the packers Is based
are full of falsehood.

Serbia officially denied the report
of a general revolt Of the Montene-

arrived In Paris from the Black Noun

in Ohio down TO 80 in North Caro-
lima, among the 100000 acres or
more in crop. The lowest figure
