Merchants See
No End of High
Cost of Living

NE WYORK, July 25.-Folk look
ing for signs of reduction in the
high cost of living will get little en-
ouragement from statement issued
! by the Merchants Association. No
lope is seen for lower prices or for
oetterment of husing conditions.
The association expresses the be.
lief that prices and wages will re.
main at their present high levels in
definitely, if they do not mount high
er; that labor shortage is inevitable
that industry will be taxed to its limit
to supply merchandise and that man.
ufacturers will be forced to remodel
their methods in order to make pro-
it. Only the erection of new houses
can aid the housing situation, and the
outlook for construction is exceed
ingly blue.
AS some aid, the association pro-
poses exemption from the Federal in
come tax of income from real estate
mortgages up to 100000. This is its
only suggestion except that there be
ess indiscriminate harrassing of land
lords who charge high rents.
The association bclleves that the
present high cost of construction, due
largely to higher prices paid to labor,
discourage builders, but asserts that
builders need expect no lowering of
wages or decrease in the cost of ma
terial for several years. Because Of
this, business men are warned to ad-
ust their operations to conform to
prices asked to-day, rather than to
those of 1914. The increased cost of
labor in building is put at 70 per cent,
"The determination of workers to
maintain the high wage schedule Is
A factor to be considered, and would
he important even though the law of
supply and demand should not op-
crate to maintain present wages" it
is asserted. at is this determination
on the part Of the workers to prevent
wage decreases that has been to a
large extent responsible for the main
tenance of wages since the signing of
the armistice."
The statement goes on to say that
higher wages have not yielded cor
responding higher return and the
policy of the manufacturer has been

Change In Plan
Of Kaiser's S Trial

LONDON, July 25.-It is possible
that former Emperor William may not
be tried in London, according to an
announcement made in the House of
Lords by Earl Curzon, of Kedleston,
government leader in the upper house.
The lords passed the peace treaty,
through all stages. In the course of
the discussion Viscount Bryce, for
mer ambassador at Washington, de-
preciated holding the trial of the for
mer German emperor at London.
Baron Buckmaster said there were
grave reasons why the government
ought not to pursue any further the
project of trying tie German war

declared, to ask an English judge to
sit on such a tribunal to administer

In his reply Sarl Curzon said he
thought the kaiser in exile in no way
way comparable with Charles l or Ma
poleon. He was unable to imagine
that man who had ignominiously
fled his country could be turned into
martyr or a hero by a trial, while
his continual presence near the Ger
man border might be political dan
ger.

HUN DELEGATES ON
 WAY TO MEETING
Financial Commission Leaves Weimar to Meet With
 Allied Envoys

BERLIN, Thursday, March 27.-By the Associated Press.)-The German financial commission will leave Wei mar for Versailles tomorrow at noon, equipped with the fullest instructions and powers. It hopes to arrive at noon Saturday.
 Versailles is believed to have been chosen for the place of meeting with the allied financial experts, because the members there will escape any unpleasantness they might be subject ed to in Paris. Part of the German press, however, considers the choice of Versailles as an indication that the delegates will not be allowed to par ticipate as equal negotiators. Some of the papers maintain, on the other hand, that the entente has no such intention, since such a move would upset things from the start. These journals point out that the economic council repeatedly has met at Yer sailles.
 The press ill part. is convinced by the entente invitation German fin ancial commission will be given ques- tions of considerable importance to work upon and that it will be regarded as a regular and permanent financial and political connecting link between the economic council and the German peace delegation.
 It is anticipated that important fin ancial and economic questions which will start immediately on the arrival of the commission will lead directly to genuinely political negotiations with which the peace commission will deal.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-An i'm mediate call for 5O,O0o volunteers for service in Europe has been prepared by the war department and pobably will be published tomorrow. As an incentive to enlistment the men will be offered early duty in France as a relief for men in the expeditionary force who wish to return home.
 War department officials expressed confidence that no trouble would be experienced in raising the 50,000 men, or an even greater number if it should be found that additional increments were necessary. The bulk of the men are expected ot come from recently discharged troops, who, after a short vacation" as civilians, desire to re- turn to army life.
