WILSON WARNS OF DANGER IN
TREATY DELAY

The Chicago Tribune, in an article entitled
Wilson Fears Cataclysm in Treaty Delay"
is quoted. in a conversation with Senator
Watson, of Illinois, as saying it will take
all winter to get the peace treaty ratified by
the other powers of the world, if the Senate
insists on making reservations; moreover,
that some of the nations signatory to the
pact may break down before negotiations
can be completed.
The President made the plea that he
would oppose any reservations, no matter
how desirable they might appear from an
American point of view, on this ground.
Senator Watson is said to have told the
President that he could not support the treaty
IN its present form, and reiterated whatmany
other Republican senators have said, that
the Senate will reject the treaty without
reservations. The Senator told the Presi-
dent that he was thinking of the interest of
the United States first, and did not believe
that the welfare of America should be sacri-
feed just to hurry the final acceptance of
the treaty by other nations

GREAT CATASTROPE NARROWLY
AVERTED

1t has developed that, bad as was the race
riot in Chicago, last week, with its toll of
more than 80 killed and some 800 wounded,
a great catastrophe was, in all probability,
narrowly averted by the issuance of an
order by Mayor Thompson, throwing
troops into the riot district just in the nick
of time.
The Mayor, in a statement, has said:
eve had information at E 80 o'clock, on
Wednesday evening, that there was to be
a general effort to start fires during the
night. The police were worn out. In view
of this condition, it was decided the time
had come to call out the troops, and | acted.
The information was definite and authentic,
and required immediate action. The con-
dition of buildings were such that great
conhagration would have started in no time.
There had been almost no rain during the
month of July, and everything was as dry
as finder. Many fires actually were set, and
only the action taken, together with the rain
which came during the night, settled the
situation"

Liverpool, proclaimed general strike

senting more than 100000 miners who re-
manned on strike, refusing to accept the
governments offer of settlement, had de-
cided to submit to its branches the ques-
ton of continuing the strike.
An Associated Press dispatch from Lon
don the other day, declared that British
railways and coal mines are, at present,
financial invalids Both of these industries
are controlled by the government under war
legislation. Proposals that both should be
natiOnalized, are among the most important
reconstruction plans now being agitated.

roads for the coming year will show a

profit for the last five years before the war
The deficits of the railways and mines are

former directly from the treasury out of

DAYLIGHT SAVING REPEAL ACT
AGAIN GOES TO WILSON

Readers of current events are familiar
with the fact that President Wilson recently
refused to sign the agricultural bill, for the
reason that it contained rider providing
tor the repeal of the Daylight Saving Law.
He placed his signature, however, to the
agricultural bill after the rider had been
eliminated.
Opponents of the Daylight Saving Act,
however, Immediately framed new bill
aimed solely at its repeal. This was passed
by the United States Senate, on August /,
by vote of Al to IL.
The measure, as passed without amend
ment, already had received favorable action
IN the House. 1t has now gone to the
President for his signature. Friends of
the Daylight Saving Act, however, are con-
fldent that President Wilson will again veto
the repeal act, on the same ground that he
vetoed the rider

INCREASE IN PRICE OF MILK

The price Of milk in Chicago has been
increased to Is cents quart A few DAYS
ago the farmers of Illinois got together and
Informed the Chicago milk distributors that
the price of milk from the farm to the city
would be increased from $500 per hundred
pounds to $3.50 per hundred pounds. This
followed an increase of 50 cents per hundred
pounds made on July for July milk.
The reason for this increase, the farmers
say, is that dairy hands are now getting
40 cents an hour, instead of 80 cents, the
wage paid month ago.
The price of milk to the distributors last
August was $2.75 per hundred pounds. A
representative of the Bowman Dairy Com
pany has pointed out that milk to the con-
sumner in Chicago is cheaper than in some
other cities; for instance, Detroit and New
York, where it is 10 cents a quart.
Dr. Robertson, Health Commissioner of
Chicago, says that decided saving can be
effected by using powdered milk, which, he
says, is made by atomizing ordinary milk
in an extremely hot room. When the milk
is sprayed into the superheated room, the
water in it is evaporated and the milk falls
to the floor of the container in the form Of
powder A pound of powdered milk can
be bought wholesale for As cents. 1t will
make five quarts of ordinary milk. A
pound of powdered skinned milk costs II
cents 1t will make five quarts Of skinned
milk. He adds:
Powdered milk is simply ordinary milk
minus the water in it. 1t is not deleterious.
1t is just as nutritious as ordinary milk,
though some consider the taste little fiat.
It is the kind Of milk that was shipped to
Belgium for relief purposes. It will keep
year and no ice is needed to preserve it.
Powdered milk is fine for cooking pur

MANY CARPENTERS LEAVING
CHICAGO DURING LOCKOUT
OF BUILDING TRADES
WORkMEN

During Chicago's building trades tie-up,
which came on the verge of construction
boom throughout the country, carpenters
are leaving that city for other points by the
thousands. Many have left for Detroit
while others have gone to Dayton, Cleve-
land, Des Moines, and other cities.
1t is estimated, by union officials, that of
10000 who normally worked in Cook
County, only 1900 or $4,000 are left.
The rest are plying hammer and saw else
where.
Allied trades, which are shut out of en-
ployment, also report migration, and men
in close touch with the situation fear that,
when the strike is settled, Chicago will
be hampered by serious shortage in the

AUTOS OWNED BY LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF WESTERN
FARMERS

An editorial writer remarks that there
was time when every other western farmer
had mortgage on his place; now, large
percentage Of them own automobiles. He
goes on to remark that every eighth farmer
in Nebraska, California and Iowa owns a
car, every ninth one in South Dakota, and
every tenth one in Montana Ali of the
states which lead the list in this percentage
of car ownership lie west of the Mississippi,
while New York is thirty-ffth. The writer
further observes:
"No one begrudges the farmer his good
fortune He constitutes a third of our
population, and his prosperity will have
wide ramihcations But we trust he will
pardon the suggestion that he shake off the
old habit Of making wry face at every
piece of national legislation which has in
view the prosperity of the urban two-thirds

Senator New, of Indiana, in warning the

must keep abreast of the times in aviation

He said in part:
"The last report of the British air minis

to comprehend not only the possibilities
but the certainties of aeronautics and is de-
termined to derive for England all the bene-
fits that they afford.
"Of course, this is known to those in
the government air service and the COM

that England, for instance, has appropriated

THE GREATER CRIME

The following scathing rebuke, sent
a few days ago to The Chicago Herald -
Examiner by a gentleman expressing his
opinion of the publicity given the revolving
Fitzgerald crime, which occupied pages of
space in all the great Chicago dailies last
week, emphasizes lions viewpoint on this
subject:
"Some days ago one Thomas Fitzgerald,

girl

cent of your columns to the story, debauched

A press dispatch, from Ottawa, the Cana
dian capital, few days ago, said: Despite
government efforts to reduce prices, the
cost of living in Canada continues to soar.
The high prices are cited as the cause of
unrest in every district. The average cost
of twenty-nine staple foods in 90 cities, in
June last, was 1882, as compared with
%.35 in June, 1914"
