pressed; John N. WHY'S
Sees the Outlook Good

Two prominent passengers. with OPP
posite views as to present day Europe
and the outlook abroad, returned last
night on the Cunard liner Aquitania
from Southampton and Cherbourg.
The first to come ashore was John
N. WHY'S, automobile manufacturer of
Toledo, who offered glowing outline
OF conditions generally, and behind him
came Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who re-
marked that optimists returning from
Europe should cease talking about rain
bows.
Europe is In serious. condition"
said DR.. Wise. mo intellectual and
earnest observer could fail to be i'm
pressed with the seriousness of those
lands to-day. The answer is simple.
Three things indicate the real basic
trouble in Europe: First, there is fear;
second, loss of the old faith and fail
ure OF a real one TO take it's place, and
lastly, disappointment. Europe feels
it has been disappointed, and that APP
plies to the victors as we'll as the van
auished. Fear rules Europe to-day
and that fear is of another war"
DR.. Wise had been through ENGLAND.
France, Italy, Egypt and Palestine. He
said the Holy Land is To-day far ahead
Of the Palestine he visited ten years
ago. and he gave abundance of credit
to the British for the advancement of
the Jew and his nation in the East.
The Jews, he said, have appreciated
this and are already doing their part
in the economic enterprises of the coun-
try.
Mr., WHY'S said that he returned this
time a greater optimist than ever rela-
tive to the business outlook and the
labor situation as he say them in
Britain, Spain, Belgium, Holland and
Scandinavia
Even in Germany, the country peo-
pie who have real goods to exchange
for their labor, are surprisingly well
off. The buying power of number of
European countries is Enthusiastically in
creasing."
Max d. Steuer, lawyer, who has been
abroad two months studying procedure
/ IN the COURTS of Europe, returned with
Mrs. Steuer. He said procedure in the
British courts was no speedier than in
the United States, but that in the other
courts he found it much slower.

"A consolidation of the Latin Ameri-

BERLIN, Sept. S.--Behind the walls

death.
One of their number, Eugene limo

door against his throat. The two-line

Timoreyeff sacrificed himself In an
attempt to draw the attention OF the

Levant Ship Lines
To Put Up S2O,O 900
AS Rate Guaranty
13 Companies Approve
Plans for Cash Forfeits;
Final Action Awaits Word
FromHeadquartersAbroad

The Levant Conference, consisting Of
thirteen steamship lines plying be-
tween United States north Atlantic and
east Mediterranean ports, yesterday
approved in principle the plan to have
each company post a cash forfeit of
$4,000 to guarantee the maintenance Of
freight rates Final ratification awaits
word from the Headquarters abroad of
several foreign lines. Meanwhile de-
tails Of the contract are being worked
out In meetings here.
1t is understood that the contract
that Is now being considered by the
Levant Conference is similar in many
respects to that put into effect by the
Far East Lines, but that the latter is
not being followed slavishly. The in
tention is the same-to assess "liqui-
dated damages" against any company
found guilty Of breaking the confer
ence tariffs. The forfeit under consid-
Grafton by the Levant is not SO heavy
as that in the Far East, which was
fixed at $4,000.
The Levant Conference gave most Of
it's attention yesterday to completing
the bylaws and other regulations, fol-
lov>ng the restoration Of the confer
cnce on August 20 after rate war
lasting since November. No rates were
changed, members said. Several other
meetings will be necessary, one official
explained before the organization is
functioning smoothly.
