WILL Be NO PANIC
IN THIS COUNTRY
GOVERNOR FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD SAYS PRICE CUTTING
is HEALTHY MOVE.
RESTRICTION OF CREDITS
Harding Convinced Foundation Is Be-
ing Cut from Under the spscuIa-
tors-Says World Wide Lack
of Capital.

Washington.-GOv. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board thinks that the
drop in prices throughout the country
come as a result of restriction OF
credits, and it will keep up until the
country is back upon a sound basis.
By combining loans to essential indus
tries and properly protecting non-es-
sential enterprises the banks of the
country can stop speculation and elm
mate the boarding ,profiteer. That is
what is going on now.
1.-THE condition resulting from the
lowering Of prices is a healthy one"
said Gov. Harding. I'VE realize that
the credit position is extended and
very considerably extended. From the
first of April, 1919, to the first of
April, 1920, the expansion of bank
credit was about 25 per cent. During
the same time there has been an ad-
vance in commodity prices of about
26 per cent. This has been accompa-
MED by a decrease in production Of
essential articles"
Gov. Harding is convinced that the
federal reserve banks are cutting the
foundation from the Spectator. His
advice to the bankers at the confer
ence of the Federal Reserve Board of
the federal advisory council here on
the 18th, when four representatives of
each reserve district were here, was
taken in good faith, and is being acted
upon. The plan is that speculation is
to be curbed, If not eliminated, and
the money used by spectators will
be turned into the proper channels of
commerce to relieve in part the strain
upon the financial situation.
Gov. Harding pointed to the reduc-
tions in the prices of grain and pro-
visions in Chicago. He looks for a
gradual healthfal decline.
There is a worldwide lack of cap
ital," he said, ''and with calls upon the
investment market which cannot be
met there is an unprecedented demand
for bank credits. The fact must be
recognized that, however desirable on
general principles, continued expan-
sion of trade and industry may be,
such developments must accommodate
themselves to the actual supply of
capital and credit available"
Gov Harding says that all "unnec-
essary borrowings for purposes of
pleasure and luxury should be re-
stricted as far as possible.R

PERSIAN SITUATION GRAVE
Invasion Of Country and Seizure Of
Post by 5oisheVIki Causes Grave
Concern in England.

London.-Invasion of Persia and the
seizure Of the port of Enzeli by the
Bolsheviki, with the evacuation of that
town by British troops has created a
stir here and the Near Eastern posi-
ton is extremely grave, it is declared
in some quarters. Newspapers ask
what the British government is going
to do, IN view of its agreement with
Persia which was concluded last year.
The Anglo-Persian treaty does not
place Great Britain under obligations
with regard to the Bolsheviki invasion
of Persia, it was stated in the house
of commons by Andrew Bonar Law,
the government leader.

MITIGATION OF TRANSPORTA.

DURING WAR TIMES.
TO CLEAR UP CONGESTION
Direct Routing of All Freight Without
Regard TO Carriers or Shippers and
Compulsory Car Movement by
All Lines Ordered.

Observation-Disclosures for the effec,
tive unificaiCn OF the railroads of the
United States into single transpor-
tation system to meet the present
emergency were issued by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The. or
ders provide for the direct movement
of all shipments without regard to
routing or the traffic of individual
lines, putting into effect some of the
practices for traffic movement that
were instituted under government
control.
The order directs that the most
available and direct route be used in
all cases, and that routing by car
riers or shippers be ignored. 1t pro-
vides that the carriers shall agree
upon the division of rates on re-
routed traffic and that in the failure
of agreement the division will be
fixed by the commission. Additional
charges cannot be made against the
shippers. - ------ ..~--..--+--'
Specific and detailed orders for the
movement of given number of empty
cars each day were issued to practic-
ally all Of the big railroad systems.
In general, the orders provide for a
fixed and definite movement of empty
box cars from eastern roads. to west
ern roads and for the movement Of
open-top cars from western to east
ern and southern roads. The car
movement is prescribed by the gov
eminent and cannot be escaped under
penalty, and one road cannot deny
cars to another or fail to move them.
The order for direct movement of
freight, without regard to the traffic
developed by particular railroads, was
in part as follows:
1.-THE subject of routing of freight
traffic being under consideration, and
it appearing, in the opinion of the
commission. that, because of shortage
Of equipment and congestion Of traf-
fic, an emergency exists on the lines
of all carriers by railroads in the
United States subject to the inter.
state commerce act, which requires
immediate action.
1T is ordered that until the further
order or direction of this commission
all said common carriers by railroad
are hereby directed to forward traffic
to destination by the routes most
available to expedite its movement
and relieve said congestion, without
regard to the routing thereof made by
shippers or by carriers from which
the traffic is received, or to the own
ership of the cars, and that all rules,
regulations and practices of said car
riers with respect to car service are
hereby suspended and superseded in
so far only as conflicting with the
directions hereby made.
''It is further ordered and directed
that inasmuch as such disregard of
routing is deemed to be due to car.
riers' disability. the rates applicable
to traffic so forwarded by routes other
than those designated by shippers, or
by carriers from which the traffic is
received, shall be the rates which were
applicable at date Of shipment over
the routes so designated"

Chihuahua City-With announce

believed Francisco Villas political as

the rebel chieftain would be elini-
mated painlessly from the arena went
glimmering. Through his emissary,
Alfonso Gomez, Villa declared he had
no intention of being eliminated, ac-
cording to Gen. Gales. The general
stated he would publish letters from
the insurgent leader and the reply to
be sent the latter.
During the conference between Gen.
Gales and Villas envoy there was a
buzz Of excitement in the Hotel Patio
when it became known that the prob
able course of events in Chihuahua
for months to come was being decided,
Ezquiel Salicedo, labor representa-.
tive with Gen. Gales, has received the
following telegram from the infantry
bureau at Mexico City:
Relations between Great Britain
and MEXICO are to be resumed when
the provisional president resumes of:

cisco P. de .Mariel, followers\ of Car

reported fleeing across the mountains
of Vera Cruz toward BarTanaulta, on
the coast. Four million pesos and
much bullion were recovered from the
Carranza train recently captured"

Villa, variously described as revolu-

factor in Mexican affairs, as ready
and willing to take the field against

was against the Carranza regime, he
told the Associated Press here.

ing in close pursuit of him, after the
raid of Columbus, N. M, in 1916, when
Villistas raided that border town, de-
clared the successor of CarranZa must
fully satisfy his ideals of government
before he would retire to private life
and quit the life of Robin Hood"
Villa does not like Gen. Alvaro Obre-
gon, candidate for the presidency Of
Mexico, who apparently has become
the "man of the hour" in Mexico
through the country's new revolution.
Villa, discussing the revolutionary
leader, joked and laughed about Obre-
CONS actions at the convention of
Aguas Calientes which led to the SCI
lection of Carranza as president OF
Mexico through split of revolution
airy leaders.
"Obregon signed the flag as did 9th
ers at the convention" said villa. He
kissed the flag and cried as he kissed

the agreement stole the flag with the
signatures Of the delegates"
