Brockdorff-Rantzau To Resign

The report comes from Paris that
Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau. the
head of the German Peace Delega-
ton, has sent in his resignation be-
cause of his unwillingness to sign
the Treaty Of Peace as presented by
the Allied Governments. There is
also a report that Count Won Berns-
torff, former German Ambassador to
the United States, is to be appointed
in his stead
Such an appointment would be ex-
tremely tactless on the part Of the
German Government. In a singular
degree Count Won Bernstorff embo-
dies in his career and personality all
that is distasteful in the official
German war record. His name

famous Zimmerman note whereby it
was attempted, by dangling before

Mexico start a war on the United
States.
In the German note of May % there

composed chiefly Of the Society OF
Friends. One OF the first issued had

chief Of the Iroquois and last Of the
Senecas.

were given to Indians on the trip. The

Philippine Petition
Soon to be Heard

A memorial presented by the
Philippine Commission at point
session. Of the Senate Committee on
the Philippines and the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs, which Of
ficially represents the Philippine
government and the people, asks for
final and immediate solution of the
Philippine question by the granting
OF independence. The following par
agraph Of the memorial is Of special
interest:
"For the first time in the history
Of colonial relations subject and
% alien race comes to ask severance
Of their political connection with the
sovereign nation without recounting
sny act of injustice done to them and
demanding reparation therefor, but
rather with feeling of gratitude and
affection, and with the object and
for the purpose Of strengthening the
bonds of moral and material union
which have bound the two peoples
together in an endeavor to establish
che reign Of justice, democracy and
Veace in the world"
While the circums tances incident
70 this petition of the Philippine
people are undoubtedly unique IN
respect to the matters mentioned, it
10 ! still more remarkable fact that
there seems to be every indication
that the requested recognition Of
Philippine independence will be
speedily granted. America will thus
be setting the greatest example Of
information square dealing in all his
tory We sincerely hope that the flu
tsre history of this, fortunate people
will fully justify Americas generos-
ity in this matter.

GRIZZLY BEAR FROM ASIA
Something Like Million Years Age
the Animal Came Here BY
Way Of Alaska.

The grizzly bear has been known to
the white race little more than cen.
fury. Lewis and Clark wrote the first
official accounts of him in 1906, and he
was first discussed publicly In 1914 by
Gov. De Witt Clinton in New York city.
Guthrie's old geography says that he
was named Ursus horribilus by Natur-
aiist George Ord in 1915. Fossil rec
ords Indicate that the grizzly Is Of
Asiatic origin. He appears to have
come into America about million
years ago over one OF the prehistoric
land bridges that united Alaska and
Asia. Bears and dogs are descendants
from the same parent stock. The griz-
ely bear never eats human flesh, is not
ferocious and fights only in self-de-
Tense. He leads an adventurous life,
10 born explorer and ever 'ias good
wilderness manners-neyer makes at
tacks. The numerous cases in which
the grizzly has been made pet and
companion Of man, where he was
thoughtfully, intelligently raised, show
him to be superior animal. dignitied,
intelligent. loyal and uniformly good
tempered.
Not a grizzly exists in any of the
four national parks Of California, and
that animal, once so celebrated in that
state, is extinct there. He is also ex.
tinct over the greater portion Of the
vast territory which he formerly oc-
cupied, and is verHng on extermin&
ton.

TEMPE G|N CO.
 HELPSD|STR|CT

The Tempe Ginning company, more commonly known as the Mccall gin, is another or the reasons for the pros perity of Tempe.
 This plant was established in 1918, with Frank FogIe as president. A. I. Peters, secretary and treasurer, and a board of directors composed of sev- eral of 7he most prominent growers in the Tempe district
 The machinery WAS moved from the Sea Island district of the South, the boll Weevil there having destroyed the growing of Sea 1siand cotton. This machinery was thoroughly fumigated and installed at Tempe. A new innovation of this plant was a sys- tenn of humidifying each roll. MT. Mccall, the manage~, has used this system with wonderful success in the South, and thought with the very dry cotton that was harvested in the val ley, it would prove a 'howling" sue cess. However, it was found, after a lengthy trial, that. in way, it was success, but the increased cost of handling this cotton this way was SC great that this season these humidi- fiers have been abandoned.

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The stock market was violently unsettled at the opening of today's dealings. popular shares br saking sharply on announce ment that the steel labor eladers had issued a national strike order, effec- tive September 22 next.
 Much of the loss was retrieved in the first hour, with further recoveries in the source of the session, rallies being accomplished for the most part on comparatively moderate but seem ingly confident buying.
 To observers, the reouperative power displayed by the general list indicated that much of the .arly upheaval re- suited not so much from liquidation Of long holdings as from aggressive short selling.
 Naturally the stocks which experi- enced greatest depreciation at the out set were the favorite steel issues. United States steel reacted almost five points with as much for Republic iron, Bethlehem dropped , and Crucible II.
 Oils and motors came next at ex- treme reversals of 3 to 6 points, Chand . Ter motors showing a gross setback of 141z while shipping, rails, coppers feathers, tobaccos and food shares for feited to s.
 Equipments, in which early losses were relatively slight. featured the re- bound. Baldwin locomotive and Ameri- can locomotive representing the chief clements e strength, with such affili- ated issues as Stakeholder, General Motors and high grade oils.
 Another reaction towards the close attributed in part to profit taking caused general shading from maxi mum quotations, bur this was again overcome, the net result leaving few serious losses. Sales amounted to 1.150,000 shares.
 Bonds were heavy, the most severe reactions being confined to specula- tive issues, Liberty bonds and interna- tional steady. Total sales, $13,S75.0 900
