better-have punch and pep-the pow
er and will to do things and get re
suits, and your stomach misery will be
gone.

There is very widespread feeling
in government circles that the 'Amer-
icanizing" of our people must not be
allowed to lag. 1t takes a great crisis
like the war to show the weak points
of a nation and our weakest point was
undoubtedly our large foreign popula-
ton. There are 100000 people in the
United States above the age of ten
years who can~neither read nor write
the English language. During the war
it has been declared by every great
American that citizens of this country
must be absolute in their loyalty. This
cannot be accomplished unless some
method is followed by which our for
eign population may be educated to
see things from an American point Of
view. How to do it is a question that
is one of our great reconstruction
problems.

LOOKS MUCH LIKE
HUNS PROPAGANDA
COVERT THREAT THAT GERMANY
MAY LEAD THE BOLSHEVISTS
OF EASTERN EUROPE.
IS PLEA FOR EASIER TERMS
Congressman Cannon's Vigorous Old
Time Speech for Bill to Appropriate
$1oo,O00,000 for the Starving Peo-
pie of Central Europe.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

WashlngtOn.-For several weeks
there mas been in circulation something
mat comes very near being propa-
ganoa' but it may simply be the result
OF more recent Investigations of con-
ditlons IN Europe. Stories are told in
various ways and at various times
ABOUT the condition of Germany and
her inability to pay any large indem-
nifty. Then these statements are fol-
lowed up with others to the effect that
IL VIII not do to boycott Germany and
that she must have an opportunity to
secure raw materials and that her
products must be bought by other
countries, else her people will starve
and bolshevism will take absolute con-
troll. Finally these stories eliminate
In this sort of scare:
All eastern Europe, it is said, is bad
ly tinctured with bolsheyfsm. Ger
many, containing the most intelligent
OF all the populations, is tending to-
ward -bolshevism, and there is grave
danger that she may become the lead
er of that vast territory comprising
Germany, Russia, Austria, parts Of
Turkey and most of the Balkans. This
would mean another war and on a
much greater scale and of far more
d1sastrous consequences than that
which has just been fought.
In this connection it is said that
one reason why the president was so
anxious TO get $1O0.OOOOOO to feed the
starving peoples of Europe was for
the purpose of stopping the spread of
bolshevism. Possibly this carries out
the idea voiced by Senator Vardaman
of Mississippi, who says that bolshe-
vism is a disease caused by hunger.
1t may be that the hungry hordes of
Europe are going to be a great menace,
but 1t is impossible for them to become
as great menace as was Germany.
The men who are putting forth these
Ideas admit that there is still strong
sentiment in the countries lately at
war with Germany to make that cCun-
try pay, and pay heavily, for the in
juries she inflicted upon Belgium and
France and the enormous expense she
caused all the nations in the great
war. They also say that the sentiment
in the United States is stronger even
than in Europe, and they realize that
it would be very difficult to overcome
the idea of eXacting vast indemnity
from Germany and at the same time
making her an outlaw among nations.
Nevertheless, they are asserting that
IN 70 70 1ich

AS Europe looks toward peace Mex
leo looms upon the horizon as a
trouble maker for this country. Are
we ever going to get back again to
the tranquil days of peace and quiet
which the country enjoyed for a
quarter of a century before the Span
ish war? OF course there were little
difficulties with foreign governments,
but they were easily settled and of
small moment compared to those
which have come upon us from the
days we became world power.
After the acquisition of the Phil
ippines we thought we had to have
an eye out as to the purposes of
Japan in the Orient. In later years
the troubles in Mexico have been ours
to a large extent and have necessi-
tated the use of our fleet and our
army. At the present time there is
great uneasiness along the border,
which accounts for the movement to
extend our southern boundary line
still farther south in order to insure
peace along the Rio Grande and in
southern Arizona and New Mexico. 1t
is asserted by some who think they
know what is going on that when
President Wilson gets through with
his peace negotiations in Europe he
will have another great task in pacify-
ing Mexico.

Figures have been collected from
the states by the agricultural depart
ment showing the number of returned
soldiers that can be used for road
building work. According to these fig
ures more than 100000 of the demo-
bilized soldiers can be employed in
unskilled workmen. 1t will be killing
two birds with one stone if employ
ment can be furnished that many men
after their discharge from the army,
and at the same time provide effective
organizations for the building and up
keep of good roads.

1t seems that there is no city Of
Washington. Some one who was inter-
ested in such matters created quite a
stir a few months ago by declaring
that Washington city, does not exist,
that there never has been law Great
ing such city, and that the seat of
government of the United States is
simply the District of Columbia. Since
that time all proclamations issuing
from the White House have been
"Done in the District of Columbia"
ETC., instead of Done in the city of
Washington" Senator Myers Of Mon
tana has introduced a bill to remedy
the situation and provide for the es-
Establishment of a city of Washington,
with boundaries the same as those Of

Uncle Joe Cannon will go down in
history as the most remarkable man
that has ever been known in the halls
of congress. He went into action in
his old-time, vigorous style in support
Of the bill to give $100,000,OO0 to feed
the starving peoples of Europe. He
was like the Joe Cannon of a quarter
of century ago, going through all the
gyrations, arm swinging, fancy steps,
and using the terse Anglo-Saxon which
is always effective. There has not
been a speech made in congress in many
years that was so literally punctuat-
ed with cheers and applause as that
made by this famous octogenarian, who
has been longer in congress than any
other man who ever served.

People desiring to travel in any for
eign country experience a great deal
of difficulty in obtaining passports.
Before the war people could travel in
Great Britain, Germany, Holland, Bel
GUM, France and Italy without pass
ports. Now no one can land in any
European or South American country
without passport and our govern
ment has been warned by most Of the
countries that the fewer passports is
sued, the better they will like 1t. 1t
is rather surprising to find that the
English government is one of those
which has asked the United States to
restrict the issuing of passports to
those persons who absolutely must
visit that country. The scarcity of
food in the European countries is CIV
en- as the main reason why people
from America are not desired at the
present time. Is to the South Ameri-
can countries, our government has
found that a great many persons OBJ
tanned passports and went to that
continent and engaged in German
propaganda, and they are still appre-
hensive that German agents may be-
come a disturbing element in South
American countries where there are
large German populations.

Some time in the future there is
going to be a move made to find the
unknown heroes of the great war.
When we come to think of it, there
are mighty few heroes of this war
vet, although everybody knows that
many heroic deeds were performed.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts says
there ought TO an inquiry to find
out who these men are. ANY guam
tity of men performed great deeds of
valor, but these deeds have gone unre-
corded because the officer or man per-
forming them was not under the eye of
a superior officer at the time who could
make report of it. Private letters
have told of many heroic actions which
we're seen only by private soldiers, and

HIGH PRICES LED
To HEAVY SELLING
IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Both Corn and Oats Fin
ished Downward, While
the Provisions List Was
Up and Down

Chicago, August 2-Unpopularity OF
high prices led to heavy selling and to
unusual lack of support today in the
corn market.
The close was nervous 11sq2A, lower
with September LS5 to 1.S51s and Decem-
Der 1.50s4 to 1854. oats finished l.. to
2s4 down, ano provisions varying from
roc decline to a rise of 20 cents.
Attention of corn traders favored
throughout the day almost exclusively
on developments IN the movement to re-
duce the cost of food and of other
prime necessities. Only a few concerns
had the hardihood to recommend buy
ing in the face of the widespread agl-
tation for lower prices, and but very
few moments of actual trading at the
outset were required to demonstrate the
error of opinion that the corn market
had already fallen enough. Then anX-
iety to unload holdings plunged values
downward in hurry. The September
delivery made an almost vertical descent
of nearly nine cents. Transactions,
though, were few in the month. Week
end covering by shorts tended to steady
other more active deliveries before set
backs became abnormal
Oats fell in sympathy with the weak
ness of corn. Liquidation of Septem-
Der holdings of oats was on a large
scale.
For the most part provisions went down
grade with hogs and corn. Offerings.
however were not urgent.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 2.-Wide re-
actions were forced in the cotton mar
ket today following a hard spot on
the opening, when orders which were

cited buying which followed. After

The initial rise amounted to Is to
20 points, October being the strongest
Nmonth and rising to 33.50c. Almost be-
fore the call was over, offerings were
heavy from profit taking longs and
the pressure from them soon swamped
the ring. A quick break of 100 points
on the most active months was the
response to this and from then on to
the close of the market retained an
easy undertone. At the lowest of the
session the trading months were 80 to
164 points under the highlevels' of
the day and "a to "a points below the
level of yesterdays close Last prices
showed net losses of 70 to 80 points.

The threatened government investi-
cation into the cost of living was re-
garded as an unfavorable feature by
some traders and helped to some ex-
tent to increase selling.

New York, August I'm marked con-

tude of buying orders holding prices I'D
to maximum limits at the close. was
the lack of support in today's market re-
sulting in a decline of SO to 70 points
with the close barely steady. While lit
tie attempt was made to modify the inn
portance of yesterdays low condition
figures, overnight consideration of general
economic conditions evidently made a
bearish impression upon sentiment. es-
peeially the widespread protests in favor
of bringing down commodity prices. and
the further unrest among labor as indi-
Gated by the strike of railroad shopmen
The market opened steady at net adj
vance of to 10 points following a scat
tered demand from shorts but after SELL
ing as high as IS Soc for October and
IS. 35c for December, met a renewal of
aggressive selling through commission
houses, the local trade and for southern
account which speedily brought about
violent declines to S4.27c for October and
34.50c for December, this being the low
est of the day. The final prices were
practically at the bottom.
The holiday on the stock exchange I'M
doubtedly had some Influence on the vol
ume of trade, which was not much great
er than the average Saturdays business,
and there was little outside support to
absorb the offerings. The absence of I'M
favorable weather in the belt discounted
the condition report, also probably con-
tributed to the weakness Of today's mar
ket, while uncertainty over foreign cred
its, especially in regard to Germany,
caused some modification in views as to
