HENRY FORD CUTS PRICES
Prewar Rates Are Established on All
Products of His Motor
Company.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 23.-Re-estab
lishment of prewar prices on all prod
ucts of the Ford Motor company, eff
fective Immediately, was announced
by Henry Ford. The price reductions
range from approximately IA per cent
on motOrtrucks to 81 per cent on small
automobiles.
In making the announcement, stat
ing that someone has to start the
movement from high prices downward,
Henry Ford says:
1.-THE war is over and 1t is time war
prices We're over. There is no sense
or wisdom in trying to maintain an
artificial standard of values. For the
best interests of all 1t is time that q
real, practical move was made to bring
the business of the country and life of
the country down to normal.
Inflated prices always retard prog
reSs. We had to stand it during the
war, although it wasn't right, so the
Ford Motor company will make the
prices of its products the same as they
were before the war"

REDS ASK ARMISTICE
Head of Soviet Peace Body
Makes Proposal.
Declares Proposition Must Be Accept
ed Within Ten Days or Russian
Winter Campaign Will Start.

Riga, Letvia, Sept. 25.-Adolph Jof-
fe, head of the soviet peace delega-
ton, at the last session of the Russo
Polish peace conference, proposed an
armistice, which, he said, must be ac-
cepted by the Poles within ten days
or the Russian winter campaign would
be inaugurated, which, Joffe declared,
the soviet government desired to
avoid.
NJ. Joffe preceded his proposal by
offering to withdraw virtually all the
10 peace points submitted at Minsk
to which the Poles objected. The
soviet armistice terms, which M. Joffe
said the soviet central executive COM
mittee in Moscow decided upon, elm
mate virtually all conditions designed
to sovietize, Poland and abandon the
Russian claims regarding Galicia. M.
Joffe's proposals make the prospect
of peace much brighter than hitherto.

Sim FEN CHIEF
ASSASSINATED
County Councillor Shot to Death
in Hotel by ''Black and
Tan" Police.
KILLED WHILE IN OWN ROOM
Town of BaIbriggan Again Attacked
by Officers-citizens and Clergy
men Appeal to Dublin Castle for
Protection From Avengers.

Dublin, Sept. 24.-County Councillor
Lynch, q prominent Limerick Sim
Feiner, was shot dead in his hotel
apartment in the center of Dublin. His
assailants are alleged to have been
"black and tan" police.
The murder took place at three in
the morning, according to the Press
associations account, when uniformed
men entered the hostelry, the Royal
Exchange hotel, and, going straight to
the room of their intended victim, shot
him dead
ton remaining in town, Balbriggan,
wrecked by the assaults of the auxil-
larry police (the ''black and tans'), is
reported to be quiet. According to
information received in Dublin the
''black and tans" entered Balbriggan
at the very moment delegation of
leading citizens was being received
at Dublin castle to ask for protection
from further depreiations.
1t is said that the black and tans,"
100 strong, drove through the streets
of Balbriggan in motor lOrries, throw
ing bombs and firing rifles. So far as
is known there were no further cas-
ualties. The only persons in the
streets at the time were few Dublin
journalists and photographers, who
sought cover when the lorries ap-
preached.
The first attack, Monday night, was
made following the Staying of District
Inspector Burke and the wounding of
his brother, Sergeant Burke. Homes
ians were killed. A barber named
Larless, q middle-aged man, the father
of large family, was taken from his
house and slain, as was dairy farm
er named Gibbons. The latter, at least,
was both bayonetted and shot. Ac-
carding to parish priest, the deaths
of Larless and Gibbons followed upon
demands ON them from the "black and
tans" to disclose the names of the To-
cal Sim Fein leaders.
1t has been ascertained that the reg
-ular local Irish constabulary had no
share in the attacks upon the town
and succeeded, after vigorous efforts
in protecting the Smyth hosiery fac
tory, the largest industry in the place.
There is intense excitement in Dub
lin. In consequence of an attack on
a military lorry in the streets of Dub
lin at night all permits for the pos
session of arms in this district have
been withdrawn and those holding
arms have been ordered to surrender
them. =,
The town of Milton Malbay, county
Glare, is reported in flames, with the
British soldiers and police out of con-
troll. The Inhabitants are fleeing along
the roads to the east.
The soldiers and police FLASHED with
civilians midway between Milton NAL
bay and Lehinch, about twelve miles
north, and in the bloody affray which
ensued four police and one soldier
were killed. Twenty-six civilians are
reported arrested. The number killed
is not known.
The new sack comes just as Balbrig-
gan, IS miles north of here, practical

MORE PRICES ARE CUT.
Clothing, Corn and Hogs Show
Downward Trend.
Cotton Contracts for Future Delivery,
Which Have Been Falling Rapidly,
Continue to Drop.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Evidence that
the cost of living is going down is
plentiful in Chicago. Following an
nounced reductions in the price Of cot
ton goods and clothing by two big mail
order houses, the food market is also
showing a marked inclination for low
er levels.
Corn is below the dollar mari. for
the first time in three years. Oats, rye
and barley have declined in lesser de-
gree. At the Chicago stock yards hog
prizes have again declined and the
trade in cattle and sheep is dull.
The stock markets, which for some
time have been discounting lower COM
modify prices and consequent lower
corporation profits. continued in this
vein. Industrial stocks fell rather
sharply, influenced by announcements
of price reductions by large eastern
manufacturer of cotton goods, another
automobile manufacturer and three big
Chicago mail order houses.
There also were reports in steel
~ oSAN III NASo khut OOS hhO
concessions in prices over those pre-
vailing few weeks ago and that
there is less difficulty In securing
quick deliveries of goods ordered. This
tended to bear out the prediction that
steel prices, particularly those quoted
by the Independent concerns, are due
for a reduction.
Cotton contracts for future delivery
and spot delivery, which have been
falling rapidly in the New York
market, declined still further, in part
because of the announcement of price
reduction in manufactured goods by
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com
pany. The price for spot" cotton
broke 100 points to the basis of 291a
cents q pOpnd for middling.

Rome, Sept. 27.-Disorders continue
at Turin and rifle firing is sometimes
assuming the character of battle I'D
the outskirts of the city, according 10
q dispatch reaching Rome. Three more
persons have been killed, it is SAID,
among them being Mario Santini, pres
ident of the Young Mems Nationalist

A bomb was thrown in San Carlo
square, near the central police ONCE
but no one was killed or injured, only
the nearby buildings being struck by
fragments. Police and military au-
thorities are showing extraordinary
actiyity and have made 200 arrests.
A resolution adopted by the council

The people to remain calm and not TO
ieopardize negotiations in the metal

Ayanti.
Italian workers appear to be DIVIDED
in their reception Of the agreement
signed in this city last week, at the IN
stance of the government, by employ
ers and workmen in the metal trace
which was intended to solve the prob
lem arising from the occupation of in
dustrial plants throughout the country.
Unions at Milan have asked for
referendum to be held on the question
of accepting the agreement, and the
plan has been rejected at Genoa b! the
Metal Workers union.
On the other hand, the employees OF
the Gampi works in Genoa have voted
to eyacuate that company's plant at
once.
1t appears the agitation at Turin
has been carried on by extremists who
do not have the support of the popu-
IatiOn.
DISPATCHES received here say street
cars carrying placards with such IN
scriptions as "Vive Lenine," Death to
The King" and death to the Royal
Guards" were surrounded by indig-
nant tOwnspeOple when they reached
the center of the city. Conductors
were dragged from the cars and beat
en-, and the posters were torn to pieces.
Printers employed by the newspaper
Naxiene of Turin have occupied the
plant, and have announced they will
manage the newspaper themselves.
A fund of 100000 lire is said to
have been deposited in bank to the
credit of the men, and there are hints
that this money originally came from
soviet Russia.
There have been sporadic attempts
on the part of the poorer classes, TO-
mented by the socialists, to occupy I'M
inhabited buildings, palaces and villas,
especially in the outskirts of Rome.
The most important of these at
tempts was made against the famous
Villa Albani, owned by Prince Tor
loni.
A mob broke through the side gate
selves for the occupancy of the best
rooms. They carried portions of their
poor furniture, which they placed in
the beautiful gallery betW cen the
statue of Greek Apollo ami q frag-
ment Of a Venus and under pictures
by famous artists.
The police were soon rushed to the
villa and cleared out the inv lders. The
same occurrence took place at the vii
