THRIFT TO LEAD FIGHT
AGAINST PROF|TEERS

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE people in
many parts of the United States are
virtually in league with the proflteers,
according to william Mather Lewis,
Director of the Savings Division of the
Treasury Department. who has jus,
returned to Washington after visiting
the various federal reserve districts
"A veritable orgy OF extravagant
buying is going on he said, the re-
action from the careful use of money
during the war time Is widespread and
disturbing. Retailers are securing
goods from iobbers without arguing
about prices, If they can only be as
sured of Immediate delivery. They
know their customers Will scramble
for the goods. regardless of cost. Thus
with an abnormal demand and a linn
tied output nothing else can be ex-
pccted than high prices. IL is a nat
ural, though deplorable, consequence
that profiteers abound.
THE people must return to the poll
icy of careful buying and regular saw
ing IL they wish to help the situation.
The Treasury Department in order to
combat this artificial situation, Is in
tensifying and speeding up its thrift
campaign. Statements on the princi-

New York, Sept. 1.-The cable. from
Cuba reports very heavy sugar exports
which according to the Cuban allot-

with 1864 tons indicated 10 Atlantic
ports. For the first time in several
weeks the figures show exports to the
United Kingdom: Canada was also

The heavy exports combined with
the receipts which were light, re-
duced stocks to s75.709 tons, which is
10000 t0Ne greater than at this time
last year, The balance supply contin-
ues high and with a crop OF 4,00e. 900
tons will be 430, 900 tons. greater than

WHAT CAUSES DAMAGE
TO THE HIGHWAYS

There seems to be tendency on the
part Of some who have not thought
deeply ION the subject ITO foster the
idea that the only wear to roads comes
from the use OF the motor truck.
"A few years ago the automobile
met with this condemnation" but
the automobile is now thing OF such
common use that hardly anyone finds
fault with 1t any more.
The motor truck is rapidly becom-
ing the nations freight carrier. and
while 1t is not true there are people
who sres3eSe II ssssnses In direct csf1,rss~
ution with existing means of trans
portation OF supplies. especially in ru-
raj communities and between cities
There has been some unwise leg
islation against motor trucks as re-
suit OF such an attitude, But with
motor trucks hauling more than $50
900, 900 tons OF farm products year.
the people can hardly sit idly by and
allow legislation based on false ideas
to hit at every source of their life sup
ply,
"Of all vehicles using our highways.
the motor truck probably causes the
least damage in proportion to the SER

There are two things that causes
of weight. the other is TO the surface.
with A substantial road bed the
impact OF weight does little damage
If the road bed is faulty. weight tends
to break it. 1t is simply a matter OF
gravity
Perhaps the greatest destroyer of
road surfaces and the least condemn
ed is the steel tire. The steel tire hits
the roadway with an absolutely un-
giving impact It's constant hammer
ing brushes stones and skaters all
particles that project from the sur
face OF the road.
-Steel tires are usually narrow and
they wear and cut deep tracks and
ruts. They pulverfze the surface so
that automobiles with the suction of
their pneumatic tires. suck up the dust

The motor truck with IT'S broad
fat rubber tires and glow speed, COM
pared with that OF the automobile,
causes practically no damage to the
surface Of the road. 1t causes no

the highway. this is largely taken
care of by the s00-poand limit per

o. General Liman Won Sanders, the

IN which the United States is expected
TO participate can only be held, SO far
AZ the United States is concerned after
ratification of the treaty OF peace.
There Is every reason to believe that
at the time Turkey was under the 6omi-
nation Of Germany during the war the
German military representative in Tur-
key naturally took part in the repres-
ssve measures against the Armenians
as local revolt which had 10 be put

HOPE FOR EARLY END
Of THEATRICAL STRIKE

New York, Aug. 31.--Hope for an
early settlement of the actors strike
was expressed today in view OF the
new contract offered by the managers
through the medium OF the Actors'
Fidelity league. Frank Gilmore, ex-
ecutive secretary OF the Actors Equity
association, issued a statement to the
effect that the managers were ap.
parently coming around to the actors
point OF view.
At headquarters OF the Fidelity
league headquarters, however, there
was a hint that an attempt may be
made to open some OF the closed
theaters with new casts made up OF
Fidelity league members. Equity
men scoffed at this suggestion. point
ing to tire patent irnpossibiiity OF car
rying out such plan in the face OF
the strong organizations OF the stage
hands and musicians, which are am
lated with the Equity association.
A letter from Samuel Untermeyer
to MFR. Gilmore was made public to-
day, in which Mr.. Untermeyer urges
tho Equity association not to COM
