KEEP CALM, SAY
NOTED CITIZENS
Riots Spill Innocent Blood
And Avenge
Nothing.

Calling upon citizens of the Dis
trict for calmness. as a means of
ending race riots here. a group of
prominent Washingtonians yester-
day issued the following statement:
I'VE desire to call to the atten-
tion OF the public that. far from
preventing or avenging attacks
upon womanhood. the riots in
Washington have resolved them
selves into irresponsible acts OF ag-
gression upon innocent people. Mob
violence discredits our government
and our institutions.
Citizens who are concerned for the
good name of their city and OF their
country are urged to discount exag-
gerated rumors OF crime. and the
press is encouraged to cooperate in
moderating the infiamed state OF the
public mind.
THE Capital City naturally has a
particular responsibility to set an ex-
ample of moderation and justice in
dealing, with offenders against the
law. The public should remember
that crime is individual, and the law
must be impartial. No one is safe
unless all are safe"
The statement was issued by Louis
F. Post, Assistant Secretary OF the
Department of Labor; Alice Thatcher
Post. Miss Julia Lathrop. Edward

denial this morning that any action
would be taken by Baltimore off,
cials as a result of the race rioting
in Washington.
Marshal Carter stated that no other
precautions would be taken by po-

added that the order affecting fire.

a request received from Maj. Pullman,
of the Washington police department.
He announced that there was not
the slightest cause for alarm in Bal

while. upon his visit to Great
Bfitain. whence he returned a few
days ago. A. C. Bedford, who is
chairman OF the board of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey,
was informed by high authority
that one of the great problems
which the English statesmen and
n4anciers must solve. II they can.
isl the future relation of the coal
mining industry to England's ex-
port trade and to her Industrial life
ae ehome. Mr.. Bedford was told that
not again will the wages of the coal
miners be established at such a
low figure as was the prevailing
rate for many years until the Eu-
ropean war began. Not again will
England be able to produce coal
with very cheap labor. The rates
demanded by the miners, rates
which they undoubtedly will receive
hereafter, are substantially equiva-
lent TO the pay which is received by
the American coal miners. Besides
they are to have shorter hours.
Intimation has come from England
within a day or two which tends
strongly to support the statement
which was made by Mr.. Bedford on
the authority OF leading men Of Great
Britain whom he met. There is grave
danger that England is to lose a con-
siderable part of her export trade in
coal. Heretofore she has commanded
that trade with the world and by
means of il has in no small measure
held mastery in international COM
merce. especially with South America
On the other hand our own authori-
ties at Washington have been quick
to act so that the United States may
take reasonable and honorable ad-
want ,ye of the conditions which pre-
vail in Great Britain. The United
States Shipping Board sanctioned on
Monday Of this week a reduction OF
$50 a ton upon the charges for trans
porting coal and cement to South
American ports, This country will
proba bly, have in any event control of
the cement market in South America
but with the reduction of 81 50 a ton
in the freight rates for coal. the
United States will be in position u
command South American markets.
This should be of great Importance

which. nevertheless, are in such form
that II 10 almost impossible to secure
the cash with which to make the
heavy tax payments which are de-
manded by the government In many
cases 1t has been found necessary to
borrow from the banks or from in
dividual capital money. or even to sell
portions of estates with which to
make these payments. and. OF course,
the estates are charged with this debt.
This Is not exactly a conscription OF
wealth, but 1t amounts approximately
to the same thing.
There VIII BE NO Boycott.
While the war was In progress the
statement was frequently made that
there need be no fear of the dumping
Of German goods in American mar
kets after peace was established be-
cause the American public would be
disposed to boycott these commodities.
Now II is evident that no danger OF
that kind exists. German goods will
come to the United States, excepting
dyestuffs. chemicals and a few other
items. freely exchanged for the vast
anbunt of American commodities
which. now that the embargo and
blockade are lifted. American mer-
chants and exporters are ready and
willing to send to Germany. There
seems to be no apprehension about
the ability OF Germany to pay either

FRUIT CROP DAMAGED
BADLY BY HEAVY RAIN

Baltimore, July 22.-Accurate in
formation on damage to crops as
the result of heavy rains was
brought to Baltimore today by Sid
ney C. Jones. expert orchardist. He
estimates that the apple and peach
orchards OF the great fruit belts
surrounding Frederick and Hagers-
town, Nd, will yield only so per
cent of their expected crops.
In the West Virginia orchard
sections he says. the apple and
peach crops will be less than 40 per
cent. of average, with the excep-
tion OF Stayman winesap apples,
which will average 65 per cent.
In many cases. in all of those
sections. wheat uncut because of
the heavy rains and beaten down
to the ground Is rotting. Losses
will amount to thousands of dollars.

In maintaining. and Increasing Our
commerce with that continent
It's Eject nj Home.
Many haye been the intimations Of
late that there is to be a shortage Of
coal in the United States which will
be seriously felt In the late fall and
winter. This refers to anthracite coli
chiefly but there appears to be some
apprehension Of a shortage of btu
minous coal.
Now with the lowering of freight
rates upon coal to South America and
with the consequent increase of de,
mand from the nations OF South Amer
lca for American coal the market
should be SO broadened as to speed up
production. In fact the Shipping
Board intimates that a steady South
American demand for coal will stimu-
late production in the United States
and will keep the mines on a capacity
basis whereby all the needs OF the
United States will be met.
1t will be a serious blow to Great
Britain IL she loses a considerable part
of her export trade in coal. It is not
conceivable that her production can
be so increased. IN view OF the shorter
hours and the higher wages, as to
make it possible for England to regain
her export trade in coal. II she does
not regain II she will meet with great
difficulty in her attempt to secure
once more a considerable portion of
her world trade.
The Conscription of Wealth.
What seems to be authentic rn-
ports from Germany indicate that
the government will soon be COM
PEELED to begin the conscription OF
wealth and that this method OF TAX
ing from the rich a considerable part
OF their resources may be extended
over thirty years.
This is In line with what seems
to be authoritative information
brought back from England by
American industrial leaders and
financiers who have recently visited
London These men have oeen say
ing to their friends in this city that
the English statesmen and financiers
are now almost persuaded that in
order to meet the vast demand
which will be made upon England
to liquidate her war debt and to
meet her other obligations IT, may
be necessary to conscript some por-
lloh VI inc wealth. OI tnOSe IN ENG
land who are fortunate enough to
possess riches. If this be done then
Germany and England may be found
az ting in similar way in orler to
obtain the means necessary to pro-
tect credit, to meet expenses and
To restore Industrial conditions.
1t would aot be possible. probably.
at least without an amendment TO
our Fundamental law to co-,e-,'pt
wealth directly IN tho United Statcs.
For the law declares that property
cann,t be raAen by government
without due compensation. IL may
be taken indi;e' tiy. however. IN the
