Coach Henry. of College of En-
poria, is expecting the very hardest
season he has ever had in Kansas.
He has scheduled only eight games
this season, but they are with the
strongest teams in the Kansas con-
champion of the conference and has
not been defeated since 1917.
Henry is not Boosting about what
he will accomplish this year. but adj
mits he is going to do his best. His
eleven, as usual, is the lightest in the
conference and plays all the heavy
ones. They will all lay" for Emporia
this year
The Presbyterians will open the sea-
son with Paramount at Wichita, Oc-
tober 1. The Wheatshockers have not
won from the College since 1911 and
are doped to lose their ninth straight
game to Henrys men unless they
show much better form this year.
The big game of the year for EN-
poria will be the game with South
western on College field October Is.
Last year the Moundbuilders were de-
feated by two touchdowns and the
Presbyterians were pressed to the
limit to win.
The game with washburn at To-
peka November 3 promises to be the
bitterest in the conference. An in
tense rivalry exists between these
teams. Baker and Bethany are both
doped to lose to the College.
Henry is said to have lined up sew
eral stars from Texas, but there is
something mysterious about these
men. Little has been said concerning
them.

HUN DOMINATION ENDED

Berlin. Aug. 2S.-The German
! 'kalisyndikat'-the syndicate under
government direction supervising Ger
many's vast potash business-has been
trying dictatorial methods on Ameri-
can business people.
The result is that American busi-
ness is practically saying to the Kali
ayndikat. GO hang; Wen develop
most Of our own potash"
L. S. Buys Only Fifth.
And, American potash buyers are
suiting their actions TO their words.
Consequently, the outlook at present
is that the American market will not
absorb more than $10,OOO,0OO to S15,-
100000 worth of German potash a
year IS against five to ten times as
much We're the syndicate in a concilia-
tory mood
The clash between American con-
sumers and German producers dates
back to the period just before the
Kapp coup. The American buyers had
contracted for a vast quantity of pot
ash-understood to be around $40.-
100000 worth. Then came Kapp and
upset industry and the government.
Subsequently, the workers in the pot
ash fields held that they wanted more
money, making fulfilment of the con-
tract at the original price impossible.
Americans Won't Recontract.
Since then negotiations have been
under way toward arrangement of
new contract. But the Americans
have found that the syndicate itself
was inclined to be dictatorial. In fact.
one Of the interested parties told the
writer:
Many of the men in the syndicate
are kaiser appointees. And, can tell
you that the kaiser himself in his
palmiest days was never more dicta-
torial than those men in the syndicate.
AS a result of their attitude, America
is turning her efforts to development
of its own potash resources. Sources
on which work was halted directly
after the war are again starting up,
especially since consumers have guar
anteed a minimum price of 81 a unit
for the next five years.
Hun Domination ut End.
This relieves US Of the German dom
nation. and makes it possible to take
q much smaller quantity than would
otherwise he the case. They thought
they had us on the hip, but that is not
the case"
Potash IS one of the vital products in
fertilization. Germany has hitherto
had a grip on the worlds market.
but the stimulus given the Ameri-
can industry by the arbitrary posi-
ton of the syndicate is loOsening
that grip.

Here is one question on which all
Americans are a unit. There may be
differences of opinion as 10 how the
matter should be worked out, but
all are agreed that our merchant
marine should be at least sufficient
to provide for the overseas trans
portation Of our exports and i'm
ports in Americana built and Amer
lean owned vessels.
In 1914. just prior to the World
war, the percentage of freight and
passenger vessels carrying the Amer
lean flag reached the lowest point
in our history. go per cent of our
foreign commerce being carried by
vessels OF other countries-50 per
cent by British vessels. The situa-
ton was vastly different from that
prior TO the beginning of the Civil
war, when from so 20 60 per cent Of
cur foreign commerce was carried by
American vessels.
During the comparatively brief
period of our participation in the
World war. because of the urgent de-
mand for ships with which TO trans
port our troops. munitions and other
supplies TO Europe, shipbuilding in
this country was greatly stimulated,
more than $4,000. 900, 900 being eX-
pended Oy our government for the
purpose. AS a result, the United
States government now owns nearly
geo merchant vessels having a car
rying capacity which, together with
cur coastwise shipping. aggregates
approximately 100000 tons, or
about the same as that of Great
Britain.
Americas Golden Opportunity.
Thus America finds herself, at the
present moment. in a position that,
If properly taken advantage of,
should forever free her from the
necessity Of using the ships of other
countries TO do her foreign market
ing, and make available at all times
an ample supply of ships of her own
people for use in the event OF an
other unfortunate emergency calling
for the use of our military forces IN
foreign lands.
Sen. Wesley l.. Jones, Of Washing
ton, chairman Of the senate COM
merce committee, who has been
most earnest and persistent advocate
of the Merchant Marine act. makes
these statements regarding 1t:
The merchant marine act is, in
my opinion, one of the most i'm
portant laws ever passed by con-
gress. The American people should
know more about ii. IL is remark
able that a measure of this kind,
which so vitality affects the welfare
OF the whole country, should be
given so little publicity. The peo-
pies Of other nations have long been
awake to the importance Of the
worlds ocean carrying business.
They realize. as the American people
do not, the very large extent 10 which
the economic stability and prosper
ity Of a great nation depend upon
the possession of unhampered facil-
tiles for foreign trade.

Needs Public Support
"In enacting this law congress has
a long and important step toward

tablishment of great American
merchant marine - and congress
stands ready TO enact promptly at

necessary.
Something more than an act Of
congress is needed to insure the COM
plete success of the act. The project
must have the active and answering
support of the American people,
American business and American
dollars.
Congress by wise legislation can
make possible the opening OF new
trade routes with American ships,
and the executive branch of the gov
eminent can see to ii that the legis-
lation is honestly and efficiently ad-
ministered. but whether or not such
new avenues of trade are permanent
" maintained depends ultimately
upon the American people them
selves. II our people support this
great enterprise as merchants and
manufacturers, and as investors in
our new marine securities, the
project will undoubtedly prove a
great and lasting success, and an i'm
portant means Of preserving inter
national peace and the security and
stability Of our country and its in
stituuons; but If the support OF our
people is withheld, or given only in
limited measure, sooner or laZer the
great fleet OF merchant vessels now
owned by the United States is likely
TO pass to other nations whose peO-
pie realize the advantages Of COM
