11vfNG COST TO REMAIN
HIGH, SAYS BANK
STATISTICIAN
O. P. Austin Sees Little Prospect of
Material Reduction in
Prices.

New York, April II.-There is lit
tie prospect OF material reduction
in the high cost OF living, sent soar
ing to unprecedented heights by the
world war, in the opinion of O. +.
Austin, statistician of the National
City Bank of New York. who de-
livered an address today on Prices
Yesterday. Today and Tomorrow
before the Editorial Conference OF
New York Business Publishers AS
soQiatiOn.
Austin attributed the rapid in
crease in prices to three principal
causes: First, the urgent demand
created by the war for, TODD and raw
material for the use OF the vast
armies oi the field; second, the adj
vance in wages due to the increased
cost of living; third, the enormous
initiation in the worlds currency
caused by the vast quantities OF
paper money put out by the leading
countries.
The measure by which the cur
rency of the world has been inflated
was shown by the speaker when he
said that the warning countries had
issued paper money with face
value OF 100000, 100000, or more than
the value of all the gold and silver
mined in the world since the discov-
cry OF America. This does not in
cludc 10000, 100000 rubles issued by
the Russian Rolsheviki. Meanwhile,
during the four years OF the war, the
national debts OF the world have ad
vanced from $4,000. 600, 900 in 1913
to $22o,ooo,o 900 in 1919.
Austin said he saw little prospect
of all immediate reduction in this in
flation, in view of the fact that the
10000 budgets OF the leading coun-
tries of the world call for four times
as much money as those OF the year
proceeding the war.

REBEL CHIEF ZAPATA KILLED
Leader of Constant Revolutions
Slain by Carranza Forces.

Mexico City, April II.-Gen
Emiliano Zapata, the rebel leader IN
Southern Mexico, has been killed by
government troops, according to an
announcement made by the Mexican
War Department tonight The an
nouncement confirmed an earlier
newspaper report of Zapatas death
from Cuautla, in the State of More
los.
The message says that part OF
the Fiftieth Regiment serving under
Gen. Paolo Gonzalez of the Car
ranza army returned to Cauutla, Gen
Gonzalez's headquarters, tonight,
with the body of the rebel chief.
Later the Mexican Government re-
ceived an official bulletin confirming
the report of Zapata's death.
Advices from Morelos say that the
death of Zapata was brought about
by strategy. Zapata with his fol-
lowers had been hiding in an mac
cessible mountain region since the
government troops had pacified the
State of Morelos, which had been
the stronghold of Zapata since he
began his revolt in 1909.
The rebel chief is said to have
been killed in an unnamed part OF
the mountains OF Southern Morelos
by troops under command of Col.
Guajardo. The War Department has
promoted the colonel to general
ship for his feat.
At the height OF his power several
years ago, Gen. Zapata figured as the
possible head of the Mexican Gov
ernment. At three different times
during the last ten years his follow
ers were in control of Mexico City
for brief periods.

If Germany fails to pay up In that

DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW
REPEAL SEEMS SURE

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Repeal Of
the daylight saving law, effective with
the turning back of the clocks the last
Sunday in october, was regarded as
certain today as the result OF action

rider to the agricultural appropriation

repeal law md sent Il to the senate.
The senate bill row goes to confer
