A Bad Situation

F. ", Webb and family returned
last week from Phoenix. Arizona
where they have been the past sew
eral months and he states that the
farmers there are surely up against a
serious proposition. He says that
most of them sold off their dairy COWS
when there was apparently SO much
money to be made in cotton and now
many of them are absolutely broke.
They are wanting to get back into the
dairy business and veryone who can
is doing so but that they face slow
remittance into that business because
of lack of money.
Mr.. Webb states that he saw whole
fields of cotton which were left to GO
unpicked because of the slump in
the cotton market and because of a
lack of money to harvest the crop.
Others picked over, the fields and
took the best, and have stored it hop
ing some day the price might get bet
ter and market open up.
ut was the mistake of their lives"
said Mr.. Webb. when the farmers
there quit the dairy business. They
went pell-mell into other things
which looked like big and easy money
and for the time made dairying look
like a poor business. It is different
now. They want back into the dairy
game and surely will get back, and
when they do they will stick to it,"

My Commission Expires October 6. 1929
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08
Occultist Is Blamed for
German Defeat on Marne

BERLIN, April ~. DIR. Rudolf
Steiner, the mystic occultist, has been
the subject of strong criticism on the
ground that he undermined the Ger
man national sentiment during the war
by the occult theories he advanced.
There were scenes of great excitement
at meeting at Stuttgart, where Gem
eral Congleich said that such theories
had led to Germany's loss of the Battle
of the Marne. The audience wildly ap-
plauded, refusing to hear any state
ments in DR.. Steiner's favor.
A dramatic incident was the rising
of tall, fair-haired woman, dressed
in deepest mourning. who said:
"You must hear ne. / will not have
my husbands sense of duty attacked
merely to provide a sensation. am
the widow of Field Marshal Won
Moltke."
She emphatically denied the accusa-
tion that the leader of the German
General Staff was hello up by a philo
sophical meeting during the Battle of
the Marne and was, therefore, unable
to transfer headquarters westward in
time. Her defense strongly Impressed
the meeting, which then broke up

should look over the said passenger
lists.
"There is also room for another sup
position, l. e., thaS instead of taking
the boat in New York he sailed from
another American port, in order to con-
ceal his voyage from his wife.
you will readily imagine the i'm
portance of the description Sonora q.
may give of the writer of the aforesaid
paper to the unfortunate woman"
DR.. Prince was asked yesterday if he
had any way of accounting for the So
called vision of Sonora z. He replied:
"Men not converted to occult philoso-
ply are yet tremendously impressed by
such manifestations as this, and can
not account for it. Logic tells them
something they are not yet ready to
acknowledge. The substance of one
theory, which 1 am not prepared to
support, is that at time of emotion
an object handled stores up vibrations,
and person especially endowed,
handling the object, senses these vibra-
tions, interpreting them as vision"

portant problem that confronts this
country to-dsy?"
Finances Greatest Problem
Of the Day, Says Coolidge

Finances" was the prompt reply.
From governmental standpoint the
finances of the country are all-im-
portant to-day. This is reflected in the
| course of legislation in Congress The
House and Senate are giving particular
attention to the financial situation and
revenue and tariff legislation is being
| prepared.
"Private business Of the country, as
we'll as public, is involved in this ques-
tion Of finance. The character of tax
| alton that may be levied by Congress
is an important factor, touching bust
ness as a whole"
Drifting away from this subject for
moment, the Vice President hit upon
closely rotated toric-the railroads
and their problem.
"Thc solution of the railroad prob
lem is to a large extent the key to
the existing situation" he said. "If
that problem can be solved the rest
will! follow. l believe that it can be
solved and that the Admni stration
will accomplish that end. 1t is essen
tial that the roads make their receipts
cover their expenditures. They cannot
| exist otherwise"
aren't some ones toes likely to be
trodden on, bringing about this solu-
tion?" l asked.
The Vice President considered for a
r'oment before replying.
"The railroad workers are among the
very best citizens and the most intelli-
gent we have in the country" he said.
II believe in them ard their patriotism.
| The four big brotherhoods have used
their influence patriotically in the
| With this he dismissed the probable
effect which reduction in wages

There was one other letter in the
envelope the medium had held, This
was from the Austrian who had re-
quested the experiment In this letter
he told of meeting in Havana, while
there aboard the yacht Maria del Con
suela, family the head of which had
strangely disappeared. This man was
Ramon Penoles, and his last letter was
dated New York, having been written
in those days when the greatest mum
Der of ships was sunk by the Germans.
In this letter he had announced to his
wife his intention to start for Eurone
on business mission. He did not tell
the name of the boat nor the exact
| sailing date. The Austrian then said
that, about year ago, an official of the
Cuban government sent for the wife
OF the missing man and delivered to
her the penciled note, saying that there
was reason to believe it was intended
for her; that the paper had been found
IN bottle among the rocks on the
shore of Azores by fishermen; that the
person they delivered it to sont it to
Havana, as it bore that direction. Off
cials OF the Cuban government recalled
the search made by Sonora Luisa
Penoles for her husband, Ramon
Penoles, and accordingly submitted the
message to her.
In concluding his letter the Austrian
wrote:
"His signalment is as follows: Tall,
broad, without be ing stout, fair,
skin, dark eyes and abundant black
hair; pronounced Spanish type; thick
eyebrows, and above the right one a
very pronounced scar; full black beard,
large and slightly aquiline nose, broad
forehead. He leaves widow and two
children; boy, five years old, and a
girl, three.
Considering that his wife was on
posed to his trip to Europe, foreboding
an accident, and that in spite Of all
researches his name was never found
among the lists &c passengers who
sailed on the different boats sunk at
that time by German submarines. It
is believed that he embarked under a
false name in order to keep from her
the fact of his sailing, in case she

With the same rapidity that we sank

spot where but few minutes before
there had been marvellous boat OF
splendid construction and unsurpassed
solidity, with hundreds Of human be-
inss on board palpitating with terror
and despair, nothing was to be seen
except quiet sea whose waves were
silently wiping out all trace that might
lead to the discovery Of it's grewsome
secret"
In her post-hypnotic state Sonora q
complained that at the very moment
she was afloat again the paper was
taken from her fingers, thus inter
rupting the psychometric vision. She
evolved within space Of ten minutes.

Dr. Prince said, "the seals on the en-.

tents were read in Spanish. I could
only get word now and again, but
was fascinated by the expressions on
the faces of the others. DR.. Viramon-

'Excellente, exeellente!' Then the doc
uments were translated for my benefit

One of these was a stained and

Sees Many Passengers
End Agony by Suicide

he moment the Spaniard hears the
explosion he stops writing and looks
eagerly toward the sea for an instant
and then writes few more words
rolls the paper between his fingers and
slips it into q bottle taken from the
right-hand side pocket Of his coat. He
then closes the bottle tightly with a
cork by pressing it hard against the
wall of the cabin. He now takes the
bottle by the neck and throws it with
force into the sea, as Ear from the
boat as possible, at the same time
murmuring some words in a low voice
"a prayer, perhays-and steadily
looking at the spot where he saw the

~ AN the power of the ocean tides
be harnessed to furnish energy
NJ for man?
The old question is again be-
ing discussed here. Two years ago a
commission was appointed to consider
the question of whether France could
utilize this energy, which M. le Troc-
qucr, Minister of Public Works, terms
"blue coal"
M. lie Trocquer now announces that
this commission is on the verge Of
solving the problem. Up to now, he
says, only moderate success has been
obtained from the system Of con-
structing artificial reservoirs in the
sea by means of barrages and using
the power developed when these empty
with The out tide.
The idea, therefore, has been con-
ceived Of using Ii series of intercon-
nected reservoirs acting as regulators
which will permit Of fairly constant
supply of power at all stages Of tide.
A new type of turbine engine also has
been developed. A bill soon is to be
placed before Parliament For granting

wages Of their employees.
! "lt is probable that there can be
Improvement made in the management
of the railroads." he continued "It
would be strange if there we're not
room for improvement along this line.

Board abolishing the national agree

in the interests of the country and the
workers themselves.

"The railroads in New England are
having their difficulties as they are
elsewhere in the country. do not be-
lieve there is any appreciable senti-
ment in New England in favor of gov
ernment ownership" Mr.. Coolidge said
in reply to a question. "Of course,
there are some people who have be-
lieved in government ownership in the
past and will continue to do so, but
they arc very much in the minority.
without attempt;n~ to place the
blame anywhere fol what happened
during the period Of government op-
Grafton, it may be said I think, that
no one in Congress savors government
ownership after that experience. In
fact, have heard it said that no one
in Congress fayors government owner
ship. OF course, that statement is rela-
tive. There probably are some mem
bers of the Congress who still support
the idea, but not many. The business
Of the country should be owned by it's
citizens"
Revertng to his life in the National
Capital, the Vice President said:
