MAY SUSPEND PRESIDENTIAL
 OILS DEGREES

Mexico City. Friday. Aug. 15- Writs asked for by foreign oil in terests were placed at the head of the calendar by 5he Supreme Court to- day, the justices voting unanimous!y Y to give them a status of urgent inn portance. 4 committee of three justices was named to classify va1i- ous petitions which have been aD- pealed from lower courts to the Su- preme Tribunal so that the full bench can begin an immediate study of the legal points invested in the various petitions. The number of petitions which will be considered by the court is 66 up to the present. It is stated that this consideration will begin within the next fifteen days.
 Should the Supreme Court grant the writs petitioned for by the for eign companies, Presidential oils de- crees against which the oil interests are fighting, would be suspended and the petroleum situation would remain in status quo until congress acts on pending legislation. The action of the Supreme Court, together with the decision of the Senate to begin work on petroleum legislation without waiting for similar action by the Chamber of Deputies, has encouraged the hope that an international crisis can be averted.

REED SAYS HIGH
 COSTS JUSTIFIED
 BY BIC DEMANDS
Says Remedies Being Pro posed Are Artificial and
 Create Trouble.
NUMBER OF DOLLARS
 NOW IN CIRCULATION
Believes Economical Situa- tion Would Naturally Ad,
 just Itself.

Washington, Aug. 15.-High cost of living is the result of operation of fundamental and immutible laws, and lower living costs will come, to large degree, only from operation of these natural laws, Senator Reed, Demo- Crat, of Missouri, declared in an ad- dress in the Senate today.
 Many of the remedies being pro- posed to reduce living costs, Senator Reed asserted, are futile because they are artificial and designed to disturb operation of natural economic tendencies. Increase in production, the Missouri Senator declared would be the greatest factor toward reduc- ing prices.
 There are two great principles in economics and finance which cannot be described and no amount of legis- latiOn can effectively control" said MT. Reed. First, whenever the de- mand for any great necessity mater iauy exceeds the supply, an increase in price is inevitable. Conversely, when the supply exceeds the demand, a decrease in price follows. The lat ter condition may be temporarily effected by combinations artificially withholding the supply and controll-
 
 of men and no decrees of government have ever been able to transmit de-, 1ctenCy into plenty or to remove the natural longings for a necessary ar ticIe which cannot be obtained.
 Second, a radical increase in the number dollars in circulation results in a decrease in the purchasing power of the dollars.
 Any device, plan or scheme, there fore, which will have a tendency to lessen production, to discourage en- terprise or to arrest industry, will, in stead of bringing lower prices, in crease present excess prices, by un- der pro o6uction.''
 The war, Senator Reed said, stopped production throughout the world to large extent, except for articles need ed in its prosecution. With the end of the war. the natural result Is in creased demand before production can be brought up to normal.
 'All this is elementary and obvious. but in a crisis like that which now confronts us, even the wisdom of statesmen ts likely 10 overlook the obvious" MT. Reed observed The raise the price in the United States has been made to all of the people of the United States, all of them being con- sumers, Likewise the benefits of high prices have been in part distri- buted to nearly all of the people of the United States, for nearly all of them are producers"

HOOVER RECEIVES MEMORIAL FROM
 SOCIALISTPARTY
Polish Men and Women Elk press Gratitude To
 America.

Warsaw, Thursday, Aug. 14-CBy A. P.)-Men and women representing the socialist party in Poland, accom- panied by the Minister of Labor, call ed on Herbert Hoover. chairman of the Allied Relief Organization, today, and presented a memorial.
 "Please present to tho American people," the memorial said, "our feel ing of gratitude. But for America, we would have not been able to pull through the last six months, We pledge ourselves to devote our strength to the orderly upbuiIding of a stable government.
 "We are not Bolshevik, but are patriotic thinking people who know that our ideals of democracy are best served by preparing the minds of the masses for the responsibilities of a socialist government and that such progress only is sound when accom- plished by the votes of any intelli- gent majority,
 We know the difficulties and de- privations through which the Polish republic must pass during the next year and will endeavor to live up to your slogan of full production on farms and in coal mines and factor les, We must beg our American brothers in democracy to have pa tience with us and not to remove their support until i've can get on our feet, Give us just one more year of credits and other active sympathy md we will emerge a strong self re- spectins nation prepared to face the world alone"

There is, however, a dark side to all this gayety and happiness. some of the French wine-ErowiuE districts are very much affected by drunkenness. The peasants of certain sections have been dcEeneratcd by wine-drinking through generations. They are sul- len, resentful. swift to quarrel. The joy and innocent merrymakin- of the vintage season is often marreI by deeds of violence. It is impossible to Eeneralize upon drinking in France. One can go into certain sections and almost never see a drunken man or woman And yet everyone seems to drink. A few miles away. one may find a village where brawIs and reel ing vintagers are the rule rather than the exception.
 So many more people in France are dependent upon wine making than peoples of other lands and the French have such a different attitude toward intoxicating liquors than Americans that prohibition does not seem prob able there in the near future. France might agree to close her distillerie5 and to forbid the importation of hard liquor, but it is doubtful if the people

France has long been. in every way, the leaIng wine producing country of the world. The people make more wine and consume more than the people of any other country. There have been bad years when the total French production has been surpassed by that of Italy, but these have been rare. In quality of wine produced, France is also far in the van. Ger tain districts in Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Spain and other countries make wines that are highly prized and eagerly bought at high prices, but the general superiority of French wines is almost everywhere ackuowl- edged.
 The scenes in the wine producing districts at the viuLsge season are at tracuye. The gay groups of laughing girls who pass along the rows of vines gathering he great punches of grapes make an animated picture. Quaint customs that originated cen turtles ago have been jealously pre- d---proCessions, dances, observ- arces that can sometimes be traced back to the ancient rites of the vim tage season in Greece and Rome.

This meeting Is for the benefit of the Czecho-Slovak Red Cross for the pur- pose of presenting to the American people exact conditions in Czecho- Slovakia. brought about, as the result of the war.
 The speakers for this occasion are all in intimate touch with the Czecho-Slovak government and know first hand the needs confronting this new country.
 When the Hoover Food Relief Committee was selected to work in the various members of this commit they arious members of this commit tee were chosen for their varied ex- periences and close contact with the people whom they were serving. Lieut.. Porucik Sedley Peck will be one of the principal speakers for the meeting tonight, He was a member of this committee and spent six or seven months in SzechO- -Slovalzia.

Article Confused Principal With Hickory Bluff
 Magnate.
Larchmont, N. Y, On Board Yacht Mystery"
 August 1st, 1919.

To the Editor of The Bridgeport
 Times,
 My dear Sir:
 In your issue of Friday, July 18th, there appears an article which does grave injustice to yourself and me. and which has caused me consider able irritation and annoyance, and placed me in a very unenviable pO- sition. If I had not been a subscrib CT to your paper I might not have seen the article and it would have gone unanswered
 In the first place. I am not a mil Honaire," neither am I chairman Of the board of the United States Steel Corporation" In fact I have had no connection directly or indirectly with that corporation for the past thirteen years, and then only in the capacity as one of their general superintend- ents of enc of their works. I do not live in Norwalk, but reside in Sound Beach, Conn.
 am the owner of the Schooner Yacht Mystery" and in June, 1917, Nils Rasmussen was the engineer on the boat and he with other of my employees was covered by insurance under the Compensation law of this State, I having taken out a policy in The Zurich General Accident and Liability Co.,, Ltd, of New York City. At the time of which I write, in June, 1917, he met with an accident on board the boat and received immed- fate attention from competent sur geon, and the case was promptly presented to the Insurance Company and a hearing was duly had before the Compensation Commissioner in October, 1917. Against my wishes, the claim was contested by the Insurance Company upon some little technical claim and owing largely to this con- duct on their part, decision was not rendered until this month. Two years after the accident occurred the mu- nffcient sum of S110 was granted to him by the Compensation Commis- sioner, and he gave to Rasmussen the right to reopen the case and re- cover a further compensation in case that 1t should be shown that the in jury to him was continued beyond the time that the award was made,
 After waiting for two years, 1t now seems that the Insurance Com pany, unknown to me and against my wishes, has taken an appeal to the Superior Court. If this is jus tice to an employe, or the employer for that matter, then I fail to grasp the purpose of the Compensation law, The law may possibly be all right and the injustice my rest with its ad- ministration, It may be interesting to know that Rasmussen is still the en- gineer on board my boat. although I am compelled to have a man to perform a iarge part of his work, which was not necessary heretofore,
 These are the simple facts, and l trust you will give them the same prominence in your valuable paper as you did the article to which I am taking exception.
 Very truly yours,

Equally interesting and forceruI a speaker will be Miss Emma Novakova, who will give a true picture of the work of the Red Cross in that coun- try. Miss Novakova has been private secretary to Miss Alice Masaryk, president of the Czecho-Slovak Red Cross. Although born in that coun- try, her mother is of American birth and she herself speaks English flu ently, so that she will be able to tell of her experiences in English and the dire need for financial assistance on the part of all American citizens, who can afford it will be moro forcibly brought home to us by these speeches than by any other means,

CAPE TO CAIRO
AIR SERVICE
ALL JEWS TWENTY AND OVER
ALLOWED TO VOTE

| London, Feb. 17.-(Correspondence
| of The Associated Press. actual
construction work already has been
begun in connection with tn pro-
jected Cape to Carlo Air Service, the
British Air Ministry announces. Aero
dromes are being set up every 600
miles, the present nonstop limit, from
one end of Africa to the other, the
principal ones being built at Cairo,
Khartoum, and two in German East
OoYmbers haLaeev fl H?m
The route then passes into Rhode
5ia, and along the course of the rail
way to the Cape. Long before the
famous Cape to Cairo railway is in
operation, it is confidently expected
that air plans will be covering the
route on regular schedules. The dis
lance is 5000 miles.
After establishing this service, the
plan of the Air Ministry is to hand
it over as a going enterprise to a Brit
ish commercial company.
The Air Ministry is acting as a
pioneer in various undertakings and,
according to one of its officials, it's
position to commercial flying will be
analogous to that of the British
Admiralty and merchant-marine SER
vice. A "Lloyd's Aircraft Register"
is expected to make its appearance
in the near future. Already wireless
stations on the Continent signal the
passage, apparent condition, origin,
nationality, cargo and destination of
passing aircraft.
England" said the official, eff
only On account of Empire commun--
cation, has more to ask of other pow
ers in the way of flying rights than
she has to grant. Air travel will not
be, in the main, over the sea. That
is too circuitous."
Commercial signal codes are being
considered at the Ministry, also the
question of air police.

TWO AMERICAN PRISONERS
EXHIBITED IN GERMANY

Coblenza, Feb 15-How it fells to
be exhibited in Germany will be told
when Joseph Brown and Charles
Knowlton, both Of the 165th Infantry
get back to New York WI they
lived before the war.
Both have rejoined their regiment
after imprisonment in Germany since
May when a patrol they I =
went out in search of Germans who
needed for the information they
might give. The patrol got the Ger
mans but the German army got Brown
and Knowlton and until a few days
ago the 165th Infantry knew nothing
more about them. Both had come
through the German lines after the
armistice.
After the German intelligence of
ficer had dispaired of getting from
them any accurate information about
the Americans both men were sent
cut on a tour of Germany. In city
after city they were exhibited as
speciments of the new enemy. To
make them appear as excellant ex-
amples of the weddings the Germans
had told their people the Americans
were, they said they were half starry
ed and otherwise brutally treated for
month or more when they were
thrown into an ordinary prison camp
remaining there until the end of the
war.
