PRIZE GERMAN SHIPS
ARE COMING ACROSS
Four of Battle Fleet Under Tow
and Big Dreadnought Under
Own Steam.

Washington, July 1.-THE five Ger
man surface warships allocated to the
United States sailed from Brest July 13
and are due to arrive at New York August
3, it was announced at the Navy Depart
ment
The 22,00O-ton dreadnought Ostfries-
land is proceeding under her own power,
but the armored cruiser Frankfurt and
three destroyers are under tow by the
transport Hancock and three American
mine sweepers. These four ships were
incapable of self-propulsion, the Frank
furt's machinery having been irreparably
damaged, while the destroyers were
among the German vessels submerged
at Scapa Flow.
1t is planned TO open the vessels for
inspection, it was said, shortly after their
ARRIVAL at New York After remaining
there two weeks, the destroyers will be
towed TO Norfolk. Whether the vessels
will be sent 10 other ports for inspection
had not been determined. The Ostfries-
land may be, as she is able to proceed
under her own power.
Naval officials said today that while
the vessels would be carefully examined
by experts ii was doubtful that much
important information would be cleaned.
Under a clause of the peace treaty, the
German craft must be destroyed within
year after their arrival In this country.

DEPRESSION IN JAPAN.
Conditions have Placed Manufactured In
Critic al Position.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Toxic, June 20.-The financial depres-
sion and the depreciation of cotton yarn
has placed the hosiery manufacturers OF
Japan in a critical position. Production
in nearly all centeres has either ceased
or been reduced owing to the market
prices offered for the manufactured goods
and the closing of the money market,
which has cut the manufacturers OIL from
their supply of funds. ;.
Scarcity of exchange funds and the
sudden advance of exchange rates conse-
quently upon the depreciation of silver
quotations, have helped to kill the export
trade. Where the fall of silver prices has
seriously affected Asiatic countries, the
export of hosiery from Japan has been
very seriously interfered with, the buy
ing power of the mercantile community
coming to n standstill
According to official figures issued from
Nagoya the financial depression has dealt
the severest blow to the hosiery industry
in that district. The latest returns from
the municipal office show that lis of
the 225 factories in Nagoya have closed
their doors and LIS of the 2,050 knitting
machines are idle. Thousands of opera
tives are out of employment and the
Manuf acturers Union has organized
support association for their relief.

COX--W|LSON TALK
WORRIES HARDING
G. o. p. Managers Hope to Show
Serious Democratic Split
on Policies.

Marion, Ohio, July 1.-THE out
come of the conference between the Prcsi-
dent and Governor Cox, to take place
tomorrow, is awaited here with no little
interest, as we'll as anxiety.
The Harding men are waiting for some
definite indication from Governor Cox
as TO how much Of his campaign will be
in agreement with the desires Of the Ad-
ministration. Thus far they have been in
the position OF general anxious to take
the offensive, but unable to do 80 until he
learns more Of his opponents position.
There have been two attempts to feel
out Governor Cox's position. The De
mocratic Presidential nominees declara-
tion for real dirt farmer" as Secretary
of Agriculture was countered by Senator
Hardng's assertions that this had been
the policy of three Republican Presidents
I'm retaining "Uncle Jim" Wilson Of Iowa
in that office. The next, Harding move was
TO accept the Democratic challenge 10
make the League of Nations the campaigns
dominant issue Senator Harding's adj
visors took the ground that it would be
undesirable to continue in this direction
until after Governor Cox's interview with
the President.
The present indications here are that
the Harding managers will attempt TO
make as much political capital as pos
sible out of Democratic Congressional
opposition to the Presidents policies.
They will be gratified il Governor Cox
aligns himself with President Wilson,
for this will give them an opportunity,
it is asserted to make drive on disgrunt-
led Democrats On the other hand, should
the Democratic Presidential nominee show
a disposition To go bis own way, having
as little as possible to do with the Whit
House, Senator Harding's supporters
say that their tack will be harder
Going on the assumption that there
is at pent a divided Democracy, the
Harding campaign workers are making
every effort 10 bring back progressives
into the Republican Party. Senator Hard
ing's conferences with Raymond Robins,
Walter Brown Of Toledo, and Alexander
Moore of Pittsburg, are regarded as
having accomplished much in this direc-
ton.

DIVING FOR PEARLS.
Season is Opened In Tahiti in the French
Settlements.


Pabeete, Tahiti, June l5.--,Thc OPEN
ing of tho pcarl-diving season, the great
event Of the year in the French settle
ments comes in July. Diving is not per
mittcd for two years in succession Mt the
same island. The various pearl islands
are opened in rotation. This means that
all gear, stocks Of merchandise and build
ing material must be taken to a new Island
each year-no small undertaking when it Is
remembered that the coral atoll which IN
ordinary times supports less than 200
persons, becomes in the diving season the
abiding place Of $500 or more.
This year the open island is Hikncru,
one of the Paumotu Archipelago, 400
miles to the eastward of Tahiti.
Already this lonely atoll is taking ON a
metropolitan appearance. The profits to
he gained come not only from the pearl
shell won from the lagoon, but from the
sale of all kinds of wares, dear to the
native heart and from the providing Of
entertainment to refresh the weary diver
and his women folk after the labors of
the day are over. The average native
diver wins a good sum from the bottom
of the lagoon and much of it goes on ex-
pensive silk dresses for his wife and
daughters, on the delectable canned goods
of the "popaa" white NAM and on the
movies"
This year there are 10 be, it is said,
three moving-picturc theaters, any num-
Der of motor-cars for hire-the length of
the roadway in Hikueru is less than half
mile, but that apparently does not make
any differences brass band and, it is
reported, electric lights along the Great
White Way of this little ring of coral
sand.
Late advioes indicate that the season
this year at Hikueru will be the most
active In many years. II Is estimated
there will be at least 900 divers at the
island These, together with their families
and the traders with their staffs, will swell
the population of the island during the
season to nearly 1000.

FEISAL LEARNED
 CAME OF BLUFF FROM EUROPEANS

Prince Feisal, who has proclaimed himself King of Syria, is about 35 years of age. He is the S7th decendant of the Prophet. He is a tall well built Arab, with a full black beard in Arabic style. He was educated in Constantinople and therefore thor oughly Europeanized. Beneath his large rich Arab gown he always wears European clothes, a uniform in khaki.
 Perhaps in Paris Feisal was some what out of his element. Though his tongue was silent his eyes were open; his mind was active; he was learning. His old father, Hussein, might be more satisfied with the mere freedom of Arabia, regardless of what ths boundaries of the country might bS5 but not so was the more ambitious F7eisa1 There was a time when Ara bia included all of Syria and Palestine and the Mesopotamian valley, all from Persia to the Mediterranean.
 According to the peace conference, Palestine was to be given to the Jews. Syria was to be delivered to the French Mesopotamia should be British But all of these three dis tricts were once a part of Arabia The largest element of their populations is still Arabic and Mohamme medan. Even Jerusalem to the Arab is one of the most sacred of Mohammedan cities. Following the example of the European diplomats, Feisa1 desired to recover for Arabia at least a part of this lost territory. With this in view he proclaimed himself the king of all Syria, including Palestine, and he has made Damascus his capital. His younger brother, Zeid fbn-Hussein, has announced that he is king of Mesopo- amia with the old glorious Bagdad as his capital. Thus the Arabian empire as Feisa1 would seem to have it, con- sists of the three separate kingdoms.
 It is difficult to believe that Feisal has ever had any real hope of retain ing for Arabia either Palestine, or Western Syria or Mesopotarnia. He has learned the European game ot bluff He has asked for more than the Allies would ever give him, that
 his share of the spells may be in- creased.
 It seems improbable that anything F'eisal can do will be enough to pre- 1 vent Palestine being reserved for the i Hebrews, perhaps as a British protec- l torate. I can not imagine it being | left in any way under the control o1 | the Arabs or of any other Moham- medans and any combination o1
 Arabs and Christians of the Orien- | would scarcely be strong enough to l resist the pressure of the Zfonists 1 Probably Feisal himself laughs at his | preposterouS demands. Certainly he
 never expects to rule over Palestine i He is merely playing the diplomatic l game of bluff.-Edgar J. Banks, 1T 1 Christian Herald.
