SALES IN FRANCE
 BROUGHT AMERICA %s $2S3,OOO,OOO GROSS

It cost the United States $S93, ,716,- 093 to settle all the claims made against her by the associated and allied powers and their nationals while the surplus material following the departure of the American Ex- peditionary Forces which remained tc be disposed of were sold at $S22 ,923,- 235. These figures are set forth in the final report of the War Depart ment Liquidation Commission to Sec retary Baker.
 The following settlements were made: With France, SPAS, ,392, ,005; with Great Britain, S112,996,912; with Belgium, $2,279,S2 with Italy :$12,620,174, and with individuals, ST. 427,175.
 Bulk sales of war supplies to France netted $4OO,OOO, ,0OO, while other sales including those to Belgium, Poland Czecho-Slovakia, Serbia and other lib erated nations of the Near East amounted to $412,823,225. Besides the $S23, 100000 worth of supplies sold abroad, the commission in it's repor, states that $627, ,0OO,0 ,000 worth were returned to the United States. Of the total sales made abroad, $108, 700, ,O0( were subject to cash delivery, the bal, ,ance being paid in 5 per cent bonds maturing from two to ten years.
 Through the method of sales adopt. ed by the commission, it is pointed out that 'the United States has beer relieved of the trouble-breeding task and of the enormous overhead expense of disposing at retail of the irregular unbalanced and rapidly deterioratine stock over 5000 miles from home The settlement of claims has eliminat' ed countless opportunities for annoy ing controversies, creating many sources of bitterness between US anc the people of our Allies.
 Slightly over year after the sign ing of the Armistice we find the Ar my home, bringing with it the gooc will of the governments and their na' tionals with whom America made common cause, the surplus stocks have been sold, and practically every clain settled" the report stated.
 This report was made public al most simultaneously with that of thu subcommittees of Congress, in whicf the sale of property abroad was con demned.

Retreat

A lone and weary doughboy was plodding through the well-known mud and drizzling rain along the road near Savenay. Around curve just behind him came big army truck. The driver saw the lone pedestrian too late for warning and sweved, but not in time to prevent a wheel from hit ting him and sending him sprawling into the ditch.
 Jamming on his brakes excitedly the driver yelled: Look out, there. The prostrate soldier rubbed the mud out of his eyes and sat up.
 What in h-l you going to dc now?" he sputtered angrily. "Back up?"

Trade was bad with the timber mer- chant,and he was sitting in his office musing gloomily over the outlook, when there entered weIl-dressed man with a quiet, thoughtful face.
 'Do you sell beechwood 2" he asked, bluntly.
 1do, sir" replied the merchant, ris- ing with alacrity from his seat, and hoping devoutly for large order. "We can supply it on the shortest mo- tice, either in the log or the plank"
 He began rummaging through the papers on his desk for a price-list; but the quiet man stopped him.

MERCHANTS HOPEFUL
OF U. S. OUTLOOK

"Merchants of the state are taking
a hopeful view of the future business
outlook stated Lee 3. Nusbaum
Thursday morning after returning
from the meeting of the Indiana Re
tail Dry Goods association at Indian
apolis. The general policy that is be-
ing followed is to sell goods on the
basis of replacement they are taking
the markdowns, occasioned by the
markets, in the same manner as they
took the markup and expect Stable
basis to be reached after the first of
the year"
That dry goods prices are now at the
lowest point they will reach was the
opinion Of the merchants at the state
meeting, according to Mr.. NuSbaum.
An effort to return to normally and
stability is being made and most OF
the flIctuating between now and the
first of the year will be up was the
prediction made by many at the con
vention.
Speeches made at the state meeting
showed that the prices of dry goods
were not greatly effected by the rails
ing and lowering of the market, of raw
material. but that three-quarters Of
the cost of production was in labor
and until this factor is lowered mate
rial will stay at virtually the price now
prevailing.
Mr.. Nusbaum is secretary treasurer
of the state association which is com
prised of about 500 retail dry goods
merchants over the state. He has held
this position for the past three years.

AUGUST PASCAL GETS
LIFE IMPRISONMENT
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18-Life i'm
prisonment is the maximum penalty
that can be imposed upon August
Pascal, "the crank" self-confessed
abductor and slayer of IS months old
Blakely Coughlin, who yesterday
pleaded guilty in the Montgomery
county court to second degree murder
and kidnapping for extortion. The
commonwealth accepted the plea of
second degree murder. which carries
a penalty of twenty years imprison-
ment because of its inability to pro-
duce the body of the child or witness
who had seen the body. Under pen
al law this is necessary in order to OBJ
tain conviction of murder in the first
degree. The penalty for kidnapping
is life imprisonment.
Judge Swartz, before whom the case
was heard, said he would pronounce
sentence Saturday. Owing to the pris-
oner's plea of guilty no jury was en-
paneled.
In his alleged confession The
Crank" said that after he stole the
child from its crib June he &C
cidentally smothered it under his coat
and the same night cast it into the
Schuylkill river tied to an iron rail
Divers found the iron rail but repeat
ed search in the vicinity of the spot
where THE Crank" said he had
thrown the body failed to reveal any
trace of it.

RAIL WAGE increase
HEARING WILL OPEN
IN CHICAGO MONDAY
tRv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Arguments for
and against the wage increase de
manded by employees of more than 100
day before the United States railway
labor board, meeting here, the board
announced today.
The testimony for the railroads and
their employees has been completed
after hearings lasting several weeks.
No date has been set for the hand
ing down of decision but it probably
would not be ready for several weeks
members of the board say as the per
picking question of the Boards juris-
diction over electric lines must first
be decided.
Electric lines contend that the Esch-
Cummins transportation Act does not
apply to them, while those of their en-
Dloyes who are affiliated with the rail
road unions insist it does. The board
heard arguments several weeks ago
and has had it under consideration
since. AS the question of jurisdiction
fleets every electric line which could
a classed as a feeder of steam sys
ms. and in some cases would even
0ply to city traction systems, board
1embers predict that when the decis
on is rendered. the disappointed side
will appeal to the supreme court. AS
he Esch- Cummins law has never been
before the courts, such action would
be agreeable to the board as it would
clear up other doubtful passages.

jAPS URGE DELAY IN
WAR AGAINST US,
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Nov. 1S.-Two thousand uni
versity students met here tonight to
discuss the question: Shall Japan
fight American" The debate lasted
four hours and was marked by vehe-
ment Oratory, but the audience re-
manned in good humor during the eve
ming. The managers of the meeting
out of Difference to the police, decided
not to take a vote on the merits of the
question as disclosed by the speakers,
and apparently the audience was
equally divided as to the expediency of
war between the two countries.
Speakers taking part in the debate
agreed that the action of California in
legislating against Japanese owning
property in that state furnished suf-
ficient cause for hostilities, but they
differed concerning the expediency of
going to war. Many pointed out the
fact of Americas wealth and prepar-
edness contrasted with Japan's weak
ness. One student thought that if ia
pan attacked America over this ques-
ton, other white races might com
bine against Japan. The orators free
ly praised Americas past friendliness
for this country but added: now that
Japan is grown up, America is tired of
US"

ago with collection of AZ Autographs
which is now on exhibition at the
Anderson Galleries in New York City.
has been invited by the directors of
the Art association here to exhibit the
collection at the Public Art gallery
some time in December. Mr.. Leigh.
whose home is in Spiceland, spent
much time in Richmond and did a
great deal of sketching here which
attracted favorable attention. He
graduated from Earlham college and
during his four years there made num-
erous sketches of the college
In Paris the young artists exhibit
ton of Autographs was the subjec
of much favorable comment, not only
from artists but from the critics as
we'll. J. B. Darlington, who is the
highest authority on prints in this
country, says: The exhibit of Mr.
Leigh's Autographs in Paris last July
attracted wide attention and they
were praised by both artists and

on Mr. Leigh's present exhibition at
the Anderson Galleries says. Mr.
Leigh. who is native of Indiana, has
taken the art world by storm. We
need not be ashamed of showing for
him an enthusiasm that is akin to his
youth, because Paris, which is more
sophisticated in such matters than We
are. warmed to him readily and with

MILK PRODUCERS TO
LAUNCH NEW PLANT

The milk producers of Wayne and
Preble counties have, it is said, de-
Cided that here is room in Richmond
for another distributing plant, and
that he people of Richmond will be
share of their business. They feel,
too, that the milk farmers will be able
to get better price for their milk and
cream, than under present arrange
ments, and that there will be no need
for an advance in prices to obtain a
little more money for their proouct,
delivered direct to the homes.
Much quiet work has been done
among the dairymen during past two
OF three months. The idea had in
ceptiOn at the time of the setting of
summer prices for milk. last spring, in
fact, and now seems about to culmin-
ate in the purchase of a building, or
in the construction OF one adapted to
the purposes OF the association, ac-
cording to c.. +. Thomson, secretary
OF the Milk Producers association.
A meeting Of the association will be
held at the Office of the county agent
in the court house next Saturday even
ing, and all farmers interested are in
vited to be present.
The work has SO far progressed. and
the interest SHOWN has been so great,
that the men informed are assured
that 'it is a go, as expressed by a
member on Thursday. This will mean
an investment of considerable money
and in increased milk facilities for
Richmond.
