United States May Get Something Out Of
the War After All---the Island of Yap


Oh the Island OF zap is the home of chap
Who is sick of the high cost of clothing,
= On that fortunate isle they go clad in smile
And they look collar with loathng.
When the folks take dip they look very kip
In the one-pece attire they were born in,
And necklace of shells sufices the bellies
When social afair they would horn in.
Yes, life is snap the Island of zap,
Where one is out prohteering-
They couldn't, at that for citizens fiat
Is the shade of palm in a clearing;
And the boosting Of food is by Nature tabood,
For she treats all the Yappers as boarders;
With fish and YAM not soul gives - clam
For gougers packers hoarders
Oh, would we could flap to the island of zap,
For the way we live here is dub way,
And once there what the deuce would
For Wattles, old chap, his 7-cent fare?
We'd find no intrigue in the talk of League,
Lying under the cocoanuts, mapping
Free eats and no rent, and for clothes not cent
No wonder the isle has us yapping!

Urges Immediate
Return Of Yank
Forces to America

Washington, Aug. N.--Senator
Johnson, republican, California, in
a statement Wednesday urged the
immediate return OF American
troops from abroad and declared the
time had arrived when this country
should get out Of the whole mess
and be just American again.
Asserting that American boys
were fighting an "undeclared and
undisclosed war in Siberia" that
others were to be sent to Silesia,
while American troops had been
cruelty treated in Dalmatia," and
still others were to remain upon
the Rhine for IS years, Senator
Johnson said:
"All of this was ordered in Sc
cret, not in the United States but
in Paris, where we had one vote out
of five. The logic Of events demon
strates what the league of nations
is forlto have America underwrite
the peace treaty in which are ipter-
woven the secret treaties disposing
of the world among the allies which
were hidden from us during the
war; and to make this republic, with
its treasures and its blood, bear the
burden of the world, and fight by
the secret order of foreign nations,
undeclared war American mothers
and fathers can see in these daily
occurrences the set purpose to in
volve us in quarrcH in which we
know nothing and which are not
at all our concern and by involv-
ing us, make us pay the price in
money and in men,"

in the sugar market. The situation
later was aggravated by marine
strikes which affected the shipments
Of sugar to this country. The letter
added that there is practically no
sugar being sold now for export.
rs it fact that some local deal
ers here resold sugar which had
been intended for this market?" At
torney Munger asked.
Il understand that this is a fact"
The state officials holding the
Omaha probe are endeavoring to
confirm information that an Omaha
firm made a profit of more than
$4,000 recently by speculation in
sugar which is said to have been
to Chicago and other
points. Two weeks ago Chicago
wholesale grocers were quoting a
sugar price of $3.50 per hundred
pounds to the retail trade.
Big Boost in Coffee.
Mr.. Hughes testified that coffee
had been advanced nearly 100 per
cent during the last six months,
and may 60 higher. Activities of
German buyers in Brazil, he ex-
planned, has affected the coffee
market. He stated that his COM
pany is selling a grade of coffee for
48 cents per pound, which was sold
to the retail trade before the war at
1917 cents.
1T is almost impossible to buy
coffee today" he said.
He predicted that rice this fall
will be sold from IS to Is cents per
pound, and that it will be retailed
for 20 cents. He anticipated an ad-
vance in all dried fruits. The pack
ers of peaches, pears and other
fruits are already asking IS per cent
more than the seasons opening
prices on these goods, he reported.
rs there any local speculation in
foodstuffs?" he was asked.
This market is not large enough
for much specializing" he replied.
Mr.. Keogh testified that prices
are controlled by supply and de-
mahd.
Asked by Attorney Munger to ex-
plain the high price of coffee, Mr..
Keogh replied: The United States
food administration last year ruled
that no one would be permitted to
store coffee in excess of one and
one-half months supply.
Normally this country carried
one years supply of coffee. When
the armistice was signed | would
say that this country did not have
more than six weeks supply. When

Blames the Retailer.
"He stated that his firm is earn
ing 3Hz cents gross per pound on a
brand of coffee roasted and packed
here. The retailer. he added. re-
ceives about 20 per cent profit on
this coffee.
Increased production will reduce
prices" Mr.. Keogh said. There is
a tremendous demand for export
goods and this demand will be main
tanned for several years. There are
FIVE New York firms buying all Cal

tain for export trade.
you can't buy a car of standard
peaches on the coast today. They
are all sold"
I'VE need a propaganda for in
creased production in this country
I think we will reach the period of
over-production within the next two
years." was another observation of
the witness.
He asserted that an analysis of
prices will show that everybody
concerned in the production and
distribution of any commodity is
sharing in the increased ultimate
cost.
Explaining the prices Of canned
tomatoes, peas and corn, as an ex-
ample, he stated that when the ar
mistice was signed the government
held approximately 100000 cans.
Anticipating an early unloading of
these stocks upon the markets, the
producers of these raw materials
did not plant as much as usual last
spring.
Boost for Advertising.
Chairman George A. Williams,
chief of the bureau of markets and
marketings, asked Mr.. Keogh
whether he believed that the promo
tioi, of bulk goods would result in
reduced prices.
Il believe that the standard lines
of advertised goods are the salvation
of low prices" he replied. 1T costs
more to handle products today in
bulk"

One of Group of 500 Caro-
line Islands May Be-
come U. s. Coaling
Station.

In view, of all the agitation stirred
up by the Navy department over the
division of the formerly German
Caroline Islands in the Pacific. it
begins to look as if the United
States is going to get something
tangible out of the war at that
namely, the hitherto little known
Island of zap. ..
zap is one of the group of 500 or
so tiny islands making up the Caro-
lines. and before the war was used
by the German administrator as the
governing center. The island is i'm
portant to the United States because
of its value as wireless and coaling
station.
Ordinary iaymen can be excused
for pleading ignorance to the local
ity of Yap> when President Wilson
himself admitted to the senator's
comprising the foreign relations
committee that he had never heard
of it until he returned from Paris
and the Navy department wanted to
know who was going to get zap.
Up until that time either Britain or
japan was going to get it, but now it
appears that the Stars and Stripes
may shortly be hoisted there.
After the war with Spain it was
thought that the Caroline Islands
would be acquired by this country
along with the Philippines. How
ever, the deal did not matefialize,
and in 1899 the group was bought by
Germany for approximately $l2,-
600 900.
Some years later an American
woman placed valuation of $780,

of her husbands estate. Her hus-
