More than forty members are slat-

IGNORANT Of FACT
THAT WAR IS OVER
CHICAGO RETAILERS OF FOOD
PRODUCTS FRUITS AND ICE
STILL GAUGING PUBLIC

Chicago, ILL.,, July 12.--Retail
merchants of Chicago. particularly
those handling food products. fruits
and ice cream in various forms, ap-
parently are ignorant of the fact
that the war is over. They are still
doing" the public to the limit. Deal
ers in clothing, shoes and other COM
modities have seen a great white
light and fallen in line with the gen.
eral readjustment, but the con-
scienceless bunch of profiteers who
supply Chicago with its food still
maintain their highwaymen meth
DDS.
Due to a vigorous campaign by
city officials and all the newspapers,
the retailers of ice cream have been
forced from their lofty perch. Cream
that sold week ago for % cents a
portion, may now be had in dozens
of places for 10 cents, war tax in
cluded. The profit in ice cream was
so alluring that hundreds of par
lors'' opened up and many drug
stores employed one prescription
clerk and perhaps twenty dealers at
the soda fountain.
With thirty to forty cars of tcma-
toes from Tennessee, Texas and
southern Illinois arriving every day,
wholesalling around % cents a
pound, retailers are charging from
35 cents up per pound.
Lemons selling wholesale at $12 a
case are retailing for 80 cents
dozen. Some chain stores sell them
at 60 cents a dozen.

To MAKE PORTO
R|CANS AMERICANS
Il. MONT RILEY, APPOINTED GOV
ERNOR BY HARDING, PRE-
PARES TO RESIDE IN
THE TROPICS

Kansas City, Mo, July 12.-Fron
residence on quiet street in Kan
sas City, E. Mont Riley is moving to
palace in the tropics, palace built
in the year 1918, with thirty?five
rooms, twenty-one servants, a throne
room from where once Spanish gov
ernors ruffled it in armor and bright
silks, and courtyard gardens bright
with flowers.
The palace is one of the perquisites
that goes with being governor of Por-
to Rico, a position to which President
Harding appointed his friend Mont
Reilly a few weeks ago. Gov. Reilly
sails for his new domain July 10, to
take up the task of colonial admin
istration that has been assigned to
him. He has already devoted con
slider able time and thought TO the
problems of Porto Rico and has ten
tatively formulated a number of pol
icies which he hopes to carry out.
81 want to see Porto Rico as truly
and completely American as any state
in our union," the governor salu in
discussing his plans for the island,
and have no sympathy for the
movement for making Porto Rico in
dependent. l do not believe that the
rank and file of Porto Rican voters
want it, either; the independence
propagandists are professional agita-
of xxyhn
born on the island. To the Porto Ri
cans who desire independence, !
would say: Make Porto Rico a full
fledged state of the union; elect your
own governors then, and you will
have all the independence you want,
and be infinitely better off than If
the island were an independent ma
tion.' And the thoughtful men of
Porto Rico, looking around them at
some of the nominally Independent
countries of the West Indies, strug-
CLING with debts and other handicaps,
appreciate the advantage of belong
ing to Uncle Sam.
II don't know what the feeling of
the president and Secretary Weeks
would be in regard to statehood for
Porto Rico and while l should like
to see 1T, whatever their views are
are mine.
In line with this / favor making
English the primary language in the
Porto Rico schools, and Spanish sec
ondary. l want to see the stars and
stripes the only flag in Porto Rico.
There is a movement in the island
for Porto Rican flag. The Ameri-
can flag, under which our forefath-
ers won their liberty, is the flag
which brought liberty and self gov
ernment to Porto Rico l don't think
we need try and improve upon it.

Porto Rico and mean to work for it

the city. The car fell 20 feet down
the embankment to the bed of the

The accident was caused by dust

eyes of the driver as he approached
the bridge. Another car came to
their assistance, and took them to

called.

ed ribs. Mrs. Bennett escaped with

The Washington conference on limita-

ure because none of the nations invited
to participate is sincerely In favor of
reducing its military or naval strength,
according TO Paul Boulanger one OF
the owners OF the great Thyssen Steel

been in the United States for several
months studying the steel and coal sit
uation.
France is constantly saying she is
menaced by Germany and is concerned
only in arranging a special alliance
with the United States and England.
She is not willing to disarm," he said.
England will never agree to reduce
her navy. 1t has been her salvation all
these years. Japan has her eyes on
China. She wants to make that coun-
try her colony for the overflow of her
population, so she will never weaken
her prospects for the satisfaction OF
this ambition"
''Will Germany affiliate with the

asked.
Never" he replied. 1T is misnamed
1t should be called the league of the al

was ready to make the necessary sacri-
fices. He insisted on the necessity OF
forming a central industrial organization
and proposed meeting the reparations
obligations through practical methods
beginning with financial reforms and
the control by the State of foreign pur-
chases. He proposed the delivery of
goods instead of gold marks wherever
possible.
DR.. Walter Rathenau, German Min
lister of Reconstruction, emphasized the
point that German industry was the
basis for all reconstruction and urged
the need for a far sighted foreign pol
icy. He said he hoped that the Feder-

the outside world.
