JOHNSON CITY. Tenn. August TO-
Mayor William b. Ellison Of johnson
City yesterday made public a copy of a
letter he wrote to Supt. Klotz of the
National Sanitorium, located near this
city, in which he states that tine charges
made by Director Forbes and amplified
by Senator Walsh are. in the main,
Ieyelat ton to the people of this city.
'sWith the investigation and reports Of

nothing to do" says Mayor Ellison's let

representation, to saddle the cause Of
ycur troubles ard criticism upon the city
of Johnson City and its officials. public
duty and decency require demurrer.
Mayor Ellison then attributed the state
ment of Supt. Klotz to lack Of expe-
rience, rather than to an evil disposition,
and states that no request has ever
come to him from officials of the sani-
torium, except about two months ago.
for keeping down vice around the sanl-
torium grounds, and at the conference

better BUSINESS
CONDITIONS SEEN
Chamber of Commerce Re-
port Cites Increased Buy
ing as Indication.

Retail dealers were buying more ac-
lively in some sections of the country
during Jlly, indica ting a slight improve
ment in the business situation, accord
ing to Archer Wall Douglas, chairman
of the committee on statistics and stand
al DIS of the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States, in his monthly review of
trsiness conditions.
"A study OF their orders,'' he says.
reveals the vital fact that they are
stead of having them sold altogether by
the travelling salesman, indicating a
gradual return to usual ways and meth
DDS and the slow effacement OF fear and
apprehension.
Another hopeful sign, according to Mr..
Douglas, is ''an increase in the working
forces of some railroads, both in the
number of trainmen and shop workers
to take care Of the added tonnage and
to repair cars that were urgently needed.
while these promising signs have
appeared. we are not yet out of the
woods. There are still readjustments
to be made, financial wrecks to be
disposed of, many problems to be
solved. But we seem to be headed
definitely toward better conditions
even though they are still afar off.
= 'One of the serious handicaps of
business is the difficulty in obtaining
a living profit, because the cost of
doing business has not yet been ad-
justed to the still high prices of
necessary supplies and the expense
of many of the operating methods.
The consumer is much of the per-
suasion that 'profiteering' is still in
vogue and he is scarcely open to
argument on that score. This is prob
ably truer of the farmer than of the
city man. because the dweller on the
countryside got it very thoroughly
imbedded in his consciousness that
the things he sold declined further
and faster in price than the supplies
he bought. and gives scant considera-
ton to the fact that it takes due
process Of time for the complicated
facts and impressions of economic life
10 adjust themselves in needed pro-
portion"

COURT PROTECTS LIQUOR
IN TRANSIT FROM CANADA
Temporary Injunction Forbids In
reference With Bonded Product
Passing Through United States.

DETROIT. August 10.-A temporary
injunction restraining federal officers
from interfering with shipments of
bonded liquor in transit from Canada
through the United States was issued
by Judge Arthur ]. Tuttle, in United
States district court here.
The injunction was issued on petition
of Hiram Walker & Sons. Ltd. of
Walkerville, Ont, who claimed that
John A. Grogan, internal revenue COL
lector. and Richard 1. Lawson, COL
lector of customs. had seized ship
ments of liquor in violation of the
trade treaty of 1871 between the
United States and Great Britain. The
bill of complaint cited several in
stances Of alleged interference by the
two officials and charged that twenty
five cases of liquor consigned to Mexico
City were seized on February IA last,
after being delivered to Collector Law
son for shipment through the United
States.
The court announced the injunction
would stand until further study of the
law has been made.

Caruso owned no real estate in this

including his art objects, had been snip

said, SO that he had but little personal

First Law Voted in 1911.

y FlfSt Law tOtcO IN lOl1.
1t is in these circumstances that a
X first law is voted in 1911, under guise
of technical improvements, entailing
However an increase of 10000 men in
the regular army and an expenditure
of 1877 millions. Ten months later, in
1912, a second law is passed tending
10 keep the regular army constantly
IN a footing so nearly that of war
SYhat an attack can be launched in a
few hours, and providing for new
units. the creation of two new army
corps. fifty battalions of technical
/ army by 10000 men and an eXpendi-
h, ture of $50 millions. This second
\ law Is hardly promulgated than Il
third is introduced and passed. This
ime the increase is 10000 men a
ear. or for any army serving two
|ears total addition of 10000,
bringing the total effectives of the
Irregular German army up to 900. 900.
This was a costly operation. 1t meant
a capital expenditure Of 1850 million
francs and an annual charge of 215
millions.
Fresh Taxes Unavailable.
That alone should suffice to demon-
strate the plan of aggression but
here is proof decisive. These burdens.
which Germany imposes upon herself,
coincide with a financial situation
at least very hard to bear. At the
very time when within a space of
thirty months the imperial govern
ment has burdened itself with a cap
3,al expenditure Of nearly 1900 mil
penditure of nearly 1,00a millions. its
budget is in deficit Of $50 million
marks for 1s11-1912.
For three years 1t has been seeking
&esh taxes. but can find none, this
vain search having led only to the
resignation of the minister of finance.
The pressure Is so great that it is
decided to resort to an exceptional
tax on capital. justifying it by re-
calling 1918. the very mention of
which in itself throws light upon the
situation. the secret intention and
the future plan. Placed side by side
with its financial policy, the military
policy of Germany assumes its full
budget others are added. with no
sure means Of filling either. Why
ecause Germany is already deter
mined to throw the sword into the
balance and call upon her national
industry" TO restore her finances. Like
the gambler. who, when the game is
up. pulls his gun.
Searching for Fretexts.
The hypocritical search for pre-
texts begins at once. France, alarmed
at the disparity between her army of
100000 men and that OF 100000, which
the laws of 1911. 1872 and 1913 assure
TO Germany, votes the three-year
service and a slight increase in ar
maments. Immediately the pan-Ger-
man press denounces this "provoca-
ton I can still hear Baron Won
Stumm, who had been pleased till
then to play at conciliation, remark
ing dryly during a dinner at the
Dutch legation in July. 1913. that if

did in 1905 and 1908 TO reduce her
military charges. Germany will re-
ply to this reduction by an increase
of her own. Yet she is already ahead
of US. From 1902 to 1918 she spent
1O4 per cent more on armament than
did France; 2,20O millions as against
$50 millions. Her military expendi-
ures always exceeded ours-by 121
billions in 1902. by 306 millions in
3o6 (they will exceed them by 500
millions in 1910. From 1900 to 1910
the head of every German family has
paid 25 per cent more toward the
npkeep of the army than the head
of every French family. Taking the
increase of military expenditure of
the six great European powers be-
tween 1883 and 1913, We find the fol-
