 railroads to secure fresh capital with which to buy equipment.
 Now the impending congestion is, no due to any lack of money. The railroad administration can find plenty or money for equipment and repairs. T. is chiefly due to the inability of the manufacturing plants of the United Stated speedily to make the necessary repairs.
 The wonder is why work of this Kind was not ordered by the railroad admin istration several months ago
 "A PARADOX OF CREDIT
 It is curious, really paradoxical, sit uation to which reports that have come from Argentina to New York refer For these reports assert that Argentina. is about to provide a credit aggregatlng s100 000 900 which will be utilized by European nations. whose representa- lives are in Argentina seeking to buy wheat, hides and other commodities, or which Argentina has plenty, and which Europe needs.
 Already Argentina had authorized joint credit of s200. 1000, 900 to enable Great Britain and France to provide facilities with which the European na- tions could make purchases in Argentina. So great was the demand for the prod ucts of that republic, that this large credit was speedily exhausted Now Argentina is ready to provide the fa- cilities in the form of credit up to s100,- 900 900 by means of which Europe can make heavy purchases principally oi wheat and hides.
 And yet Argentina which had all ready obtained loans in the United States is reported to be anxious to se- cure new and large loans in this coun- try Therefore, while extending new credit aggregating s10o.000,000 to en- able the European nations to buy the products of Argentina. that county. or the other hand, is about to seek fi- nanciaI assistance in the United States Possibly it is with the expectation that this country will aid Argentina with respect to these credit arrangements. There is to be, however, speedily a heavy demand for new capital in South a billion dollars of fresh capital could be put to profitable use in the South American countries with corresponding advantage to those who provide this capital The statement is publicly made that Argentina would be glad to secure $250, ,000.o 900 in the United States for with that money it would be able to pay off it's floating indebtedness.
 In comparison with the population and resources of the United States i the advantage in the form of credits | which Argentina has made to Europe are fully as great relatively, as the l $1 0,000, 100000 which this country l loaned to Europe while the war was | iii progress

HOSTAGE SLAYERS ARE EXECUTED AT
 STADELHEIM PRISON
By Associated Press

Munich, Friday, September 1s.-(De- ed)-After the ministry had refused to intervene in the case of the murderers of hostages the six prisoners were exc cuted at Stadelheim prison at ?. m today. With the exception of the chief defendant, Fritz Seidl, who attempted to show bravado, the men collapsed utterly as the death hour approached. The fir ing squad was composed of especially se- lected men from various Bavarian troop units from which there were numberlesS applications for positions on the exc cutting squad. The execution was con ducted under the direction of an officer especially appointed by the staff of the Munich garrison and member of> the peoples tribunal before which the triai was conducted was present.
 News of the execution reached the city an hour after it had taken place, and was received with general satisfaction There were no disturbances.
 The states attorney already has ini- tiated proceedings for the trial of SIX men charged with murder of hostages. Two more were arrested today near Rosenheim.

For the Good of
 the Community

BIRMINGHAM has the opportunity D of doing the Alabama sweet potato grower real service and at the same time serve her own people and make a little money.
 It is estimated that over 190,000,O00 bushels of sweet potatoes were grown in Alabama this year. In 1918 the yield was about IS, 100000 bushels, of which nearly 10,000,000 bushels of the value of S1 bushel, rotted in the fields or in improper storage places. It is probable that sim liar loss will be sustained this year.
 The Alabama yellow yam has reputa- tion not excelled, if equalled, by any other tuber grown anywhere. It is juicy sweet and palatable
 In the north, where it was introduced only few years ago, it is rapidly SUD- planting the northern grown, dry and al- most tasteless article which has to be lib- erally dosed with sugar to make it at all attractive.
 By erecting storage house, equipped for properly curing and preserving the sweet potato Birmingham could and would become the center of the trade in that product which, in Alabama alone, amounts to something like S20,000,000 a year.
 Such warehouse would save to the far mers of Alabama over S10 10000 year and bring trade closely approximating that sum to Birmingham
 From this great store house other mar kets in the south and the north could be supplied as demand required
 Not only would it save millions of dol lars to Alabama farmers and add immen- sely to the trade of Birmingham, but it would attract other business to Birming- ham. Farmers shipping thier potatoes to Birmingham would find 1t convenient and profitable to bring other surplus products here and to buy their supplies from Bir- mingham merchants. It would create an entente cordiAle" between Birmingham business men and Alabama farmers that WOulu 0V0ICudCG III q UCCC0I CuluCTSCdllQ- ing and more harmonious relations be- tween the industrial and agricultural sec tions.
 A conference is to be held in Montgomery in few days with the view of working out better mar keting conditions in Alabama. Representatives of the state agricultural department, the Auburn extension service, agricultural departments of railroads in Alabama and the marketing commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce will be in at tendance
 As an incident to this conference big farm products warehouse in Birmingham might be pre- sented and advocated. Cooperation of all the agencies named would assure success.
 In the last analysis it is up to the business men of Birmingham to put this thing through. They can do it. Other things involving greater expen- allure of money and requiring greater business or engineering skill have been undertaken and con- sumated in Birmingham, and this one can be put through if only little properly directed effort is put back of it.
 Birmingham was built on coal and iron and these still are and will continue to be the basis of her orowth but they have their limitations Bir-

spective hail. The central body of
course couldn't please all, and realiz-
ing that piano doesn't furnish much
music when split in four parts and
in order to keep peace and harmony
decided to dispose of it. Then more
trouble Walter Price and A. ESEg-
gleston, the two secretaries of Coun-
ell insisted that the instrument be
placed in Hall No. /, SO that they
could exercise their canary-like voices
This, the members decided, wouldn't
do at all, as it might break up the
organization
In order that all will have the same
chance, it was decided to place the
piano in the salesrooms of Steinway

him $500 a week in these days of
H. C. of L., lays him off day or two
each week, not paying him for the
days off, and docking him for all
holidays, should not complain if that
employe in need and under great
temptation, helps himself to some of
his employers money We have

stole about 5000. Friends came to the
front and offered to reimburse the
merchant one half the amount stolen
if prosecution be stopped This, the

because of his desire to prosecute the

On every occasion possible to do so

week it pointed out that food, shell
ter, clothing, fuel and light, and sun
dries had increased 65.9 per cent,
while at the same time it quoted fig
ures showing that the railroad work
ers had their wages increased about
100 per cent. The R-N fails to men
tion however, that this increase was
only made after the railroads had
been taken from the control of the
capitalists and the government dis
covered that the workers were receiv-
ing less than existing wages. The
R-N on this basis says the worker
is QUITE A BIT BETTER OFF
THAN HE WAS IN THE ANTI
WAR DAYS" 1t goes on further to
say the skilled workers are now re-
sewing from $6 to $40 per day and it
then becomes so enthusiastic as to
say that some receive as much as SIS

lack of space that prevented the RN
from quoting figures that would make

STATE LOSES ONE
OF EsCHEAT CASES
CONSENTS TO DISMISSAL OF
DRAFT LAW SUIT AGAINST
CHRIST ZURCHMElDE.

Suit brought by the state against
Christ Zurchmeide and Jacob Rychen,
Swiss dairymen, to escheat their farm
near Yelm on the ground that they
forfeited their citizenship by obtain
ing exemption from the draft as being
aliens, was dismissed with the con-
sent of the state SO far as Zurchmeide
! is concerned, after another hearing
before Superior Judge Wilson Tues
day.
The case against Rychen is still
pending, Judge Wilson reserving de-
cision The suit is the first OF its
kind brought in this state under the
draft laws and the constitutional pro-
vision which forbids an alien holding
property, and probably will be car
ried to the highest court.
Zurchmeide took out his first papers
in 1912 and Rychen in 1913. Some
time later they bought the property
near Yelm involved in this suit, pay
ing $4,000 for it. Improvements made
since have increased it's valuation to
some $500.
Zurchmeide. the younger of the
two men, registered in the first draft.
He was working then on a dairy
| farm near Puyallup and filed out
his QUESTIONABLE before the Tacoma
board He testified he did not ask
exemption on the ground of being
an alien but on agricultural grounds.
He still has his first papers.
Rychen registered under the sec
ond call. which included men from
81 to As. He testified that he "got
little scared" about going to war
and claimed exemption as an alien,
FORGETTING his first papers.
The states contention, in the case
still pending against Rychen, is that
he is neither a citizen nor declarant
in good faith within the meaning of
the constitution, and that the fact
that he gave up citizenship to evade
military duty is proof that his dec
laraion of intention to become citi-
zen was not made good faith.
The contention of Attorneys Troy
& Sturdevant and Geo. F. Yantis,
representing Zurchmeide and Rych-
en-, is that at the time they took on.
their first papers the men had q
bona-fide intention of completing the
citizenship process and acquired
vested rights which the state cannot
now take away.
