CENTRAL CHILE SHAKEN
THE LITTLE PoTsDAM.
Former Cronies Gather Around the
Ex-German Emperor at
Doom
(Associated Press

Doom, Holland, July 9.-The for
mer German emperor. William. while
processing desire to lead at Doorn
the quiet life of country gentleman,
has nevertheless created a little
court around him-somewhat larger
than that which he had at AmerongeA
and Dutch newspapers have already
begun calling Doom "The Little
Potsdam."
The Allies demands upon Holland
to guard the former emperor closely
have made it impossible for William
to mingle with the Dutch country
gentry who have estate about Doom
and the house where he is said to
expect to spend his remaining days
is just like little bit of Germany.
Strict military order prevails out
size the House of Doom, where pas
sersby must not be too curious.
Within the discipline is Prussian.
Williams only associates are German.
His entire staff. including approx
mately 40 servants, are German, with
one exception-the village barber. a
Dutehman, is called in now and then
to trim his hair or beard.
When at Amerongen, William went
freqeuntly to Doom by automobile,
but now, he is seldom seen outside the
wire fence Of his estate. which VII
layers call his $40 hectare cage"
Forty hectares are about 80 acres.
The few times he has been out, he
has paid visits to his former host,
Count Bentinck. at Amerongen. Now
and then, the former crown price or
others of Williams sons have been
permitted to visit the exile. largely
because of the illness of their mother,
but from day to day, William seldom
sees any new faces-only his daily
associates.

ECONOMY OF THE ENGLISH
BRING BUSINESS FAILURES

London, July 20.-English people
have determined upon a policy of
strict economy resulting in consid-
erable increase in the number of
bankruptcies during the last few
months. These failures have occurred
not only in London but also in the
provinces. Business men, however,
are confronted by the fact that the
aggregate number is far below the
total for pre-war years, figures for
1919 being 737 as against 1856 for
1914.
While many reasons are advanced
for this state of affairs, the most ac-
ceptable one in business circles is the
attitude of the buying public which
has decided only to purchase absolute
necessities In consequence, traders
who have purchased large stocks of
goods at fancy prices in anticipation
of quick and handsome profits, find
themselves with "while elephants" on
the hands and a non-buying public.
The goods had to be disposed of fire.
quently at big loss.
The recent bankruptcies included a
number of demobilized men who
started business with the proceeds of
their gratuity and small savings.
These men, for the most part, were
in experienced in the ways of trade
and when a severe test came, they
were forced to close their doors.
A woman proprietor of a high-class
millinery shop in Bond street explain
ed recently that wealthy women who
before the war bought generously In
such speciality shops as hers, were un-
able to do so now, because of the tre-
mendous increase IN the cost of liv-
ing, wages for servants, etc. These
women now are only purchasing the
necessities, the business woman add
ed.
From every trade comes the report
that shop keepers and business houses
generally find themselves with an
overtsock of goods. purchased in hope
of a big buying season this spring
and summer.

A NOVEL APARTMENT HOUSE

New York, July 27.-Residents of
Manhattan island, in their eternal
fight for space, have perked up their
ears at the announcement by New
York syndicate that it will build a
$45O,000 apartment house, whose dis
tinguishing feature will be "disap-
pearing beds" Officials of the syndi-
cate are silent as to what form the
disappearing beds" will take during
the day time. They dismiss the mat
ter by saying that disappearing beds
and many other labor saving devices
will be installed"
Architects, however, have given
their opinion on the proposed innova-
ton.
The beauty of disappearing beds"
the architects say, is that the bed
cannot disappear while the occupant
is lying in it on his back, with his
knees up and his mouth open. This
was the chief drawback to the old
fashioned folding bed. The architects
made this statement to quiet the fears
of many New York residents who had
inquired as to whether the "disap-
pearing beds" were similar to the old
fashioned folding bed. or contained
any of the latter's cranky and uncer-
tain tendencies.
The architects say that "disap-
pearing bed" is a bed at night and an
oil painting or Gordon setter or
something like that in the day time;
that it can be slipped under the bath
room floor tucked away behind the
aquarium; or that it may be sunk
into a trap door int the floor and an
Oriental rug placed over it. so that
the tell-tale cracks may not be seen.
The apartment house of the ''dis-
appearing bed," the syndicate an
nounces, is to be built on West End
avenue, Manhattan.

WHISTuNG FOR
MORE WIND
Considerable Doubt Exists that the
Shamrock and Resolute Can
Finish the Race Today
eAssociated Press)

Sandy Hook, July 27.-Clear skies,
smooth sea and seven knot south
west wind were the conditions at s
o'clock this morning for the fifth and
final race for the Americas cup,
and at that hour the race promised TO
develop into another drifting match.
WHISTLING FOR WIND
Sandy Hook. 1870 a. m.-The race
was postponed at Is minute intervals,
while the crews whistled for wind.
ONLY THREE KNOTS
The Shamrock and Resolute crossed
the starting line together. The offic-
ial time was 2:17. The course was a
15-mile beat to windward down the
Jersey coast with run home. The
wind was only about three knots off
shore and few spectators believed the
yachts could finish within the six
hour time limit unless it freshened
considerably.

DEPRECIATION OF
THE GERMAN MARK

Berlin, July 9.-More than 80 per
cent of the people of Germany are
trying to exist, according to a Berlin
statistician, on incomes which do not
equal the present minimum cost of
living. The mark today, he reckons,
has purchasing value equal to only
about one-twelfth that of pre-war
times. He shows that in 1914 the
a,inimum cost of rental, food, cloth
ing and other necessaries for man,
wife and two children was 1900 marks
a year. Now this minimum cost is
estimated at 1890 marks.

THE PRICE OF BEEF
GOES UP AND DOWN

Washington, July 27-Unusual fiuc-
.tGations in the price of dressed beef
occurred during the first six months
of this year. says report of the
United States Bureau of Markets.
Starting with top price of $21 for
good grade beef in January, sharp
and erratic price changes marked
trading throughout the period, with
the low top price of SIT recorded dur
ing the last week in May and the high
point, $31. made on June %. an in
crease of $14 a hundred pounds in 80
days.
A series of unavoidable events,
most of them resulting from abnormal
conditions produced by the war, con
tributed to the phenomenal price
trends, the report says. Among the
principal disturbing influences de-
scribed are periodical releases by the
war department of surplus stocks of
beef in an effort to reduce living
costs, higher stocker and feeder mar
kets, high priced feeds, fruition Of
producers efforts to increase cattle
production for war needs and antic-
ipated foreign demands, labor trou-
bles, decreased transportation facili-
ties, embargoes. unsettled foreign
credit and exchange conditions, de-
cerase in beef exports, financial credit
restrictions, declines in prices of
hides, tallow and other animal by
products and decreased or spasmodic
consumption of meat.
In fact, the report says, every pos
sible economic factor incidental to a
period of reconstruction and capable
of disturbing market conditions for
thes products of the farm and range
had free and almost unlimited action.
Prices of livestock in the Chicago
market and those paid for dressed
carcases as taken from New York
quotations from 10 days to two weeks
after the live cattle transactions also
showed wide fluctuations, the report
asserts. The difference of S2.25 per
100 pounds between prices for good
beef steers and the corresponding
grade of dressed carcases in January
was widened until it stood at $14.5O
during the closing days of June. For
the same period the difference be-
tween the low price of medium steers
on the hoof and in the carcass had ad-
vanced from $6.25 to $12.75.
A comparison of live cattle prices
and prices on relative grades cf
dressed meats on January and June
80 this year with those of correspond
ing dates last year shows the top
price for good beef steers at the be-
ginning of this year at $1S.75 and at
the end of June as $16.50 with the
opening top price on dressed beef
from such steers at $21 and the close
at $31. On January 2, 1919, live
prices for the same grade were up to
SITS and at the end of six months
the top stood at $3.50. decline of
$3.15. Good dressed beef on Janu-
ary 2, last year, registered top of
S27 and on June 80 had declined So
to top of $19.
