the opening half of the main attrac,,

ALLIES DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW IN THE SAAR BASIN
BECAUSE OF DISTURBANCE:

London. Martial law has been pro
claimed in the Saar region, now oc-
cupied by French troops under con-
troll of an allied commission, in conse-
quence of new disturbances, accord
ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company.
A dispatch from Berlin says that
qualification that the entente powers
have recognized Germany's contention
relative to the physical impossibility
of surrendering men accused of viola
ton of the laws of war is expressed
in the German foreign office. The
official giving vent to the sentiment
of the foreign office said it was in
evitable that internal chaos would re-
suit from such step and declared the
German cabinets position was mate
rialy strengthened as the result of
the decision reached by the supreme
council in London.
A foreign office official said. I'VE
do not for single moment delude our
selves with the assumption that the
government has scored a diplomatic
victory in persuading the entente to
recede from it's original attitude on
the extradition issue. While we are
all gratified, inasmuch as the allied
note permits the conclusion that the
entente is inclined to smooth the path
for other negotiations we are fully
conscious of the dangers and diff
culties to be met with in the trial
of war criminals. In this connection,
it is hoped the very scant evidence pre-
scented in the extradition list will be
supplemented by specific testimony or
that cases for which no tangible evil
dence is adduced will be abandoned"

PRoFITEERING LAST AND
LEAST OF SIX REASONS
FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING

New rk.-Profiteering is the last
and least of six reasons for the high
cost of living given by Howard E. Figg
an assistant United States attorney
general at the ninth annual conven'
ton OF the National Dry Goods asso-
citation. Mr.. Figg asserted, however
that some of the dry goods dealers
were guilty of profiteering and should
-,be punished without trial, while he
believed that all were guilty of hav-
ing profiteered, perhaps unwittingly
at some time or other.
"The first reason for present condi
tions," said the speaker, is the In
creased volume of money and credits
second, the wide increase in wages,
due partly to war necessities and gov
eminent wage scales; third, lessened
world production; fourth, increased
cost of distribution; fifth, reckless
extravaganza and spirit of specula'
ton, ana sixth, profiteering."
Mr.. Figg predicted that there would
be no appreciable reduction in prices
until labor considers itself part
of the whole industry and consents
to cooperate.
Il do not mean," he explained, that
labor must give up its short work
days and its high wages, but | dc
mean that labor must bend it's back
and work a full sixty minutes each
hour"
