-Four Inuaders
Fastened on Us

-Four firms in the United States.
Mr.. Palmer found, came as nar+s
OF the German invasion-the Ameri-
can Metal Company, representative
of and owned by the Metallgcsell-
schaft; Beer, Sondheimer & Co.
and L. Vogelstein & Co., representa-
tives of Beer, Sondheimer e. Co..
and of Aaron Hirsch & Sohn in
Germany, and Roessler, Hasslacher
d Co., chemical firm, but con-
trolled by the Gold und Silber
Scheide Anstalt.
The first of these was the great
est. ard ranked next to the power
full Guggenheim interests in Amer
ica. 1t had connections with a
total of thirty-seven concerns in
the United States and Mexico of
which eighteen were owned or con-
trolled and operated by it; six were
partly owned and in close relations;
nine in which stocks or bonds were
owned, and four which had ceased
to operate. 1t not only produced.
1t acted as both broker and specu-
lator in metals, especially copper,
of which it bought 141, ,398,982
pounds during 1918. In two wears
ended June 80, 1917, it produced
1,7OO.O 100000 pounds of spelter and
bought 585, 100000 pounds more.
1t dealt in lead, arsenic, sulrhuric
acid, coal, silver, zine oxides and
dust, antimony and malybdenum.
Its annual business has run above
81 100000 year and its profits
above $7,000,0O0 This is for the
American Metal Company alone
the total, including it's subsidiaries.
has not even been estimated
l.. Vogelstein & Co. was far less
powerful. Its business was purely
that Of trading, not of producing.
except IN one or two very minor
cases. But something of it's in
fluence can be seen from the fact
that in five years it had handled
870,931,737 pounds of copper.
578,138,1 ,191 ounces of gold, 25,-
120,134 ounces of silver, 323.O99.-
OLA pounds Of lead, 397,74O,356
pounds of spelter and 91,12S,623
pounds Of tin. The total business
was $342,538,1887O, an annual
turnover of more than s68, 100000.
The Beer, Sondheimer business
was smaller yet. Most of this was
IN the zinc trade, though it also
figured heavily in copper and lead.
Its total business in the last four
years amounted to S18,O52,958.
Thus the German octopus.
through the last five years, has been
handling about 1920, 100000 an
nually Of American metal business.

amount of irritation, if not
profanity - but let's be
cheerful over it until we
show Congress how ridicu-
lous it is as a revenue pro-
ducer.
Perhaps you consumers
feel that we dealers can
better afford to be cheerful

Planning a Room

Starting with dark floors and fading
up light to the ceiling gives an effect
Of dignity and even grandeur. Starting
with light floors and going up still
lighter gives an effect of gayety. Starting
with a dark ceiling and fading down
to light floor gives the bizarre effect
of room depending from the top. This
is a reversal of all artistic rules, but
has been used in gigantic effort toward
something new. The result is cool and
cave like.

Paris. June 13.-The British haSe

open the reparations question. They
have submitted proposals introducihs

rcparations commission the. principle
of control of raw materials, ETC., 1ur-

the commission to control Germany
economic development during the pc

The British effort did not meet
with a sympathetic reception by
the reparations commission, to when
it was referred 1t seems improbable
that the proposals will be accepted,

delay Of completing the reply to the
Germans, which. it was rumored to-
day probably would not be presented

vickers-Vimy Bi-Plane Flew
From New Foundland to
Ireland in Sixteen Hours
FIRST NON STOP
FLIGHT ACHIEVED
Way For Air Route Across At
lantic Blazed by Two British
Army Officers. Trip Made
Hazardous by Fog.

London, June Is (Ry the Associat-
ed Press) The final goal of all the
ambitions which flying men have Ven
tured to dream since the Wright
brothers first rose from the earth IN
a heavier than air machine was
realized this morning when two young
British officers, Capt. John Alcock and
Lieut.. Arthur W. Brown, landed on
the Irish coast after the first non
stop fight across the Atlantic ocean.
Their voyage was without accident
and without unforeseen incident, SO
far as can be learned. 1t was a
straightaway, cleancut flight achieved
in 16 hours and - minutes-from
Newfoundland. to Clifden, Ireland, a
distance of more than 1900 miles.
But the brief and modest descrip-
ton which comes from the airmen at
Clifden tells Of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the North AT
lantic and the Vichers-Vinly blplane
climbed and dove, struggling to eX-
tricate herself from the folds of the
airplane's worst enemy.
She rose to 1000 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface Of :he
sea, and at times the two navigators
found themselves flying upside down
only ten feet above the water.
Before coming to near near the
CEfden wireless station Alcocll circled
the wireless aerials, seeking the best
SPOT to reach the earth. But no suit
able ground was found, so he chanced
it in a bog. The wireless staff rushed
to the aid of the aviators. They found
Brown dazed and Alcock temporarily
deafened by the force Of the impact
AS soon as they were able to be cs-
corted to the wireless station, they
telegraphed the news to their friends
then had breakfast
That. is. the best way to cross the
Atlantic said Lieutenant Brown. af-
ter he had eaten.

New Orleans, June 14.-WarnlnS
of an uprising of anarchists planned

The letter explained the object Of

that revolution was in the air and
added:
Advantage is to be taken Of the
