Honor For Pershing Is
 HeldUpByR Republicans
Refused for Six Weeks Report Resolution Because Dem ocrat Wrote It-Rent Profiteers in Washington Have Stirred Up Real Scandal-Taggart
 Discusses Mistakes of President
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August 30.--(SpeciaL) Republican politicians hesitate at noth. ing. even the most delicate matters, in palpable efforts to further their chances in the presidential year about to dawn.
 It just comes to light that the resolu- ton confering on General Pershing, the hero of American arms, the perma- nent rank of general, was held up for six weeks in the House committee on military affairs because of political reasons.
 The resolution was introduced by Representative Caldwell of New York, a democrat. He tried, day after day to kecure action Day after day action was denied by the republican majority Zof the committee. Finally, in great amazement, he asked republican mem bers for a confidential explanation. They told him that the resolution should have been introduced by re- publican--that q republican Congress could not afford to permit the enact raent of resolution, of such import and character, when it's author was 1 democrat
 Though bit disgusted, Representa- tive Caldwell proceeded in such man. ner as to prove that in the resolution he had no inordinate pride of authorship He wanted first. the enactment of the resolution in order that honor and sim pie justice might be done the com mander in chief of the victorious Ameri- can troops.
 So he announced that the resolution might be reported as the Kahn resolu- ton in compliment to the chairman of the committee, Representative Kahn oi California a republican, with mania 7 for all things military. It had ranked hts soul Chat democrat had anticipated him in preparing the resolution in honor of General Pershing.
 The Californian immediately accept ed the sacrifice of Representative Cald- J Jwell. Thereafter. the path of the reso Mutton was adequately oiled" With Surprising celerity, the republican ma jbrity responded to the "insistent need Jf the moment, and the resolution be came a living document.
 Speaker Gillette, strongly partisan nractically rebuked Representative Caldwell for his tardiness in yielding to the chairman
 Why" said he, when you demo crats were in control you would no think of giving us such an honor--ot IL g5ermitting any resolution of nationa lcope to bear the name of repub NsNican."

UNIQUE PHASE

New York. August 3o-l lSpecia Sometime in the winter or tnis year.
 tha rresident of one of the largest saw
 irss hanks of New York city, spoke
 with keen interest of unique oeVef

While the war was in progress and especiaiiy Tn 'ne first year or two of battle, the oeposi- tors in the New York savings panAs' hotb city and state. withdrew what in the aggregate was the largest amour. of saving They did this because oI their fear that the government migh. iconfiscate savings banks deposits anu that apprehension was due 10 cer.A'n nropaganda which at the time was spread among the more IS
 wage earners.

 l Apparently this has been the case for the unprecedented official report which tells of the condition of the sav- Iines banks of the state, as that was discovered by the state superintendent 1 to be on June 30, shows large increase l in the deposits of these New York saw

 on June 30.
 l This increase in deposits amounted to
 a little over $187.000, 900. and these
 New York institutions carry total re- sources of $2367,000 900. Relatively | this matches the unparalleled showing of the national banks which the comp troller of the currency. MT. Williams was able to report in July.
 WHAT THESE PRICES MEAN This increase in deposits as well as Ithe aggregate of deposits clearly proves that notwithstanding the high cost of living and the appeal made by working linen for increase of wages, neverthe- Iless they have been able to earn and
 save in a single year an amount which almost matches the best record. , Then again these savings reflect the magnitude which labor was employed A good part of the savings are the sur Iplus of wage earners, but savings bank lofficers say that they received a fair

REINSCH RESIGNATION CAUSE OF DEBATE

Washington. August 30.-(Special)-Dr.
 Paul s. Reinsch might have resigned as American minister to China because he couldn't stomach the Presidents policy regarding Shantung, and then, again, he might have resigned, as he stated, be- cause of bad health and desire to enter private business. When Reinsch announced intention to resign the busy republicans gave as a reason, unofficial of course. that the min ister was opposed to the league of na- tions, and could not serve his country when his country, through it's President had signed a treaty which would give the Chinese possession of Shantung to Japan.
 Republicans state that Reinsch had promised China that America would dc the right thing, and as America had done the wiring thing he could not longer face the Chinese or serve America. But Reinsch says nothing about all this And he may have been telling the truth when he stated his reasons for wishing to leave the service.

others whose salaries are small There fore it is evident from this report that the thrift habit is now firmly estab- lished. although that was demonstrated at the time of the popular subscriptions
 to the liberty loans. Three and half million persons are now depositors of the New York savings banks.
 WHAT THRASHERS ARE DOING
 From several of the large wheat belts
 reports have come to New York tell
 ing of the substantial completion of
 wheat thrashing. Within a few weeks
 therefore, it should be possible for the
 statistcians at Washington to publish figures which will show substantially
 what the wheat harvest of 1919 masured by bushels amounts to. There appears to be hope that the figures will put the number of bushels at a billion at least.
 Meanwhile, considerable interest is revealed in the reports which have come from some of the largest of the indi- vidually owned wheat fields of the United States. Already references have been made to one farm whose aggregate acreage is 200, 0e0, every foot of it de- voted to the cultivation of wheat and located in certain reservations in Mon tana and Wyoming.
 1 Should the yield of this farm average | 15 bushels an acre then the farm vii harvest approximately 3.0oooo0 bushels | the government guaranteed price of s2.2 a bushel is received then the gross re- | turn for this harvest will be a little un. der $7,o00o00. Farmers all over tn, country who have already demonstrated that they are excellent business men as | well as agriculturiSts are watching witt | keen interest the reports which will come l from this farm. It could not be worked properly if animal power was used Re. | liance has been placed upon tractors. oi | which there are 50. These tractors made | it possible in one day to turn 1900 acres of soil and made it ready for seed wheat l It is very great undertaking tho | greatest of it's kind in the world No in. dividual would be justified in venturins upon the cultivation of a 20o.0O0- acre l farm.
