BERLIN. July 10. - Further highly
dramatic details of the suicide Of the
two fugitive assassins of DR.. Walther
Rathenau when surrounded by the po-
lice in the old castle of saaleck in Thu
ringia reached here to-day. The two
men, Engineer Herman Fischer and
Naval Lieutenant Edwin Kern, had just
managed to establish communication
with monarchist friends in Bavaria and
were awaiting aid from them in the
castle when the curiosity of two tour
lists proved their undoing.
The tourists had been informed that
the castle in which the men had taken
refuge had been for centuries the scene
of baronial sieges and that latterly it
was being occupied by the monarchist
writer, Stein. They were told that he
worked at night in room in the tower
of the castle and that light could be
seen there from the road. Along the
way they encountered two men who
acted in suspicious manner, but they
thought little of it at the moment.
Put Two and Two Together
Reaching the castle gates they
Knocked for adnu ssion, but were told
by guard that DIR. Stein was not at
home. They asked for permission to
go through the place, but this was
gruffly denied. Lettering around the
outskirts later they saw light in the
window and thought they saw two shad-
ows on the bleared panes. Instantly
their experience on the road earlier in
the evening occurred to them and they
suddenly remembered that the mys-
terious wayfarers bore a rem arkable re-
semblance to the pictures they had seen
of the fugitive assassins. Coupling all
the facts together and, knowing that
the castle was not far from the Ba-
varian borde - friendly territory to
the monarchists-they determined to
advise the police OF what hey had seen.
In the meantime the chase, which
had been conducted with the aid of
bloodhounds and hundreds of natives,
had veered off in different direction.
At the same time, the fugitives, having
reached the castle, possibly by prear-
rangement, had communicated their
whereabouts to friends in Bavaria, by
what means it is not known. although
the castle is equipped with both tele-
phone and wireless. A party of
monarchists was being organized when
it was learned that the police had re-
covered the trail and were surrounding
the castle.
1t was the plan of the Bavarian party
to supply the assassins with DISCUSSES
bring them over the border and then
rush them through to Czecho-S -Slovakia,
where a good hiding place had been
provided by expatriated royalists.

LONDON, July 19.-Lord Chancellor
Birkenhead, addressing the Austrailian-
New Zealand Club at luncheon to-day
made speech which is interpreted as
favoring the cancellation of the French
debt to England. He said he was quite
sure that the civilization of Europe and
the prosI Gritty of Great Britain never
could be restored until. in one way or
another, 1t had become possible for
Germany to make some contribution to
commerce. He decried tnv theory that
the collapse of the mark was due to
subtle German scheming, and said that
it was largely the result of an unsound
financial policy.
81 hope that the Allies in the late
struggle. on whom must fall the re-
sponsihility for steps which must be
taken" said Lord Birkcnhead, "will
arrive at a solution which will make
Germany pay large part of the
punitive contribution without placing
her in a position where she will be
unable to pay anything at all"
Little Press Opposition
Such speeches as this from repre-
sentatives of the government must be
regarded as trial balloons to ascertain
Pupllc OPINION. so Tar as press COM
ment is concerned there seems to be
little opposition to some form of debt
cancellation. "The London Times"
which made feature of the erroneous
report that Lloyd George had changed
his mind, said editorially this morning:
"Ihe objection that debt remission

tlon of paying in full all it has bor-

the rescue party had secured false
rassports and were prepared to send
the fugitives out of the country.
Shots Heard After Shouts
All these carefully laid plans proved
futile when the police threw q gordon
around the castle walls after vainly
battering against The heavy gates.
Battering rams had been sent for and
the line around the castle had been
heavily augmented when the fugitives
appeared on the parapct and shouted
defiance few minutes after their
cry "Long live the monarchy" had
ceased to echo across the valley, the
watchers below, who had suddenly be-
come silent at the audacity of the
assassins, heard two shots. "They have
killed themselves" said the head Of
the police searchers.
In a little while a party of police
arrived with heavy batterina rams, the
heavy oak gates were smashed in and
the pursuers rushed up to the top floor
of the tower, where the men we're last
seen. They found the assassins dead,
with bullets through their heads, each
gresping q large automatic pistol in
his right hand.
The Castle Saaleck has long been

monarchist conspirators. 1t was here
that Lieutenant Kern brought Lieu
tenant Dittmar, whom he had aided to
escape after being sentenced for sub
marine atrocities. 1t was from this
place that Dittmar was secretly trans
ferred to Munich, where all the enc
mics of the republic are sure of find
ing refuge and a. helping hand.
1t is asserted here that Stein, the
monarchist writer, had obviously alb
sented himself from the castle the
night the assassins arrived for the
purpose of establishing an alibi in the
event of the plans miscarrying. The
police are now seeking him. Deep re-
gret is expressed here that the men
were not taken alive, as it is believed
that they might have thrown further
light on the ramifcatiors of the royal
ist plots, which are now thought to be
far more extensive than believed at
first.

veloped. Ten years from now
we can tell others that we were

Possibly the business man,
looking over less spectacular in
dustries and particularly the one
in which he is engaged, imagines
that everything possible which
might secure leadership for him
has already been done within
that industry. Suppose, to get
a line on the situation. he looks
over the history of a few of the
businesses which are considered
enormously successful and which
are widely advertised. Let him
see what was the situation with
these particular businesses about
ten years ago.
An investigation will reveal
many firms selling products
known all over the country and
spending enormous sums for
advertising which were not in
existence ten years ago.
The men who launched these
businesses did not have such
favorable conditions as exist to-
day.

TIFLIS, July 19.-The cholera epi-
demic in Armenia and other Caucasian
republics is now under control, accord
ing to DR.. j. X. Marden, medical direc-
tor of the Near East relief organiza-
ton, who superintendent the campaign
against the plague for the last two
months. DR.. Marden says the prompt
suppression of the epidemic was due
mainly to the action of the American
vaccine laboratories in Tiflis, which
produced 100000 doses of cholera
vaccine in the last month. All this was
distributed free in Armenia Georgia,
Azarbaijan and all Turkish Black Sea
ports.
A rigid quarantine against cholera
has been established at all ports at the
urgent request of the Angora govern
ment, which fears that the epidemic
may reach fresh territory from Russia.

The advertising Of one of the

larger.

in respect to war advances or repara-
tion, does not seem to us exhaustive.
For various reasons our debt claims
upon other European nations cannot,
by any stretch of the imagination, fbe
regarded as of the same value ms those
of the United States on us. They may
in theory be recoverable at SOME dis
tant time, but they may also impede
the immediate recovery OF European
trade and industry which is indispensa-
Bile. The whole issue of the problem
is enlightened selfishacss the problem
Of the merchant prince as distinguished
from the mere money lender.
Reduced to its simplest terms, our
proposal is that this country should
seek to set an example of far sighted
and eventually interested generosity
that might conceivably evoke re-
sponse and find imitators in other quar-
ters."
This last paragraph obviously refers
to the United States, and in this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
American opinion on the proposed Brit
ish concessions has been cabled here
at length. In the crcums tances the
postponement of Poincare's visit here
Is not regarded as wholly detrimental
to solution of the reparations prob
lem, as there is a chance that the cam
collation. program will make progress

BERLIN, July 10 (By The Associated
Press) As was foreshadowed in it's
note to the Reparaton Commission of
July II applying for moratorium, the
German government, it is announced.
has now sent note to the Allied gov
ernments asking that the monthly rep
arations payment, which hitherto has
amounted to G2,000,000 should be re-
duced to 100000 for the period ending
December 81, 1924.
The government further requests
that during the same period all cash
payments due under Part 10, Section 4
and especially Paragraph 287E of the
peace treaty, be suspended These
paragraphs refer to compensation re-
specting damage inflicted upon prop,
erty rights or interests of subjects of
allied or associated powers in Ger
many.
The government will dispatch a note
to Paris at an early date, in which it
is believed it will specify reservations
under which it is ready to yield to a
far reaching system of auditing, which
the guarantees committee will recon-
mend to the Reparation Commission.
These reservations will be based on
denite assurance by the ALLIES to
grant the moratorium asked by Ger
many, and also stipulate that German
sovereign rights and the inviolabiity
of the secrecy Of the tax rolls be
vouchsafed and that the supervision
of the Allies will not interfere with
the operation of the administrative
departments.

, There Is no price agreement here;
there Is no meeting of minds or
collision" The philosophy of the
trade association Is that the in.
dividual will not benefit by the ruin
of his competitor, but will be hurt
himself thereby; that he and his COM
petitors are all in the same COM
mon cause and must prosper to-
gether or suffer together. Finally,
their idea of raising prices is by
improving quality or service in the
goods they sell.
Cooperative Marketing
This brings us back to the problem
of agricultural price and the CO.
operative ASSOCIATION. To what ex-
tent is there a similarity between the
farmers cooperative association and
the manufacturers trade association.
Shall the cooperative association
, seek frankly and directly to control
prices?
Shall the cooperative association
improve its quality and service by
grading and standardizing, and in
troduce economics and savings
through a large volume Of business,
thus indirectly securing the benefits
Of better prices?
The answer is not a simple one.
But evidently in those fields where
competition and equal bargaining
power are now setting supply-and-
demand price, the first function of
cooperative marketing is to intro
duce economics in the various mar
keting functions, and to improve the
quality, the grading and the stand
ardizing Of the commodity pro-
duced. In those other fields, where
the farmers are so weak as bar
gamers and competition among
buyers is so lacking that a fair
price is not received, then first
should come the bargaining func-
ton. This should be exercised as
a collective bargain" in which
there should be represented all three
nterests-producer, distributor and
consumer. If the consumer has no
voice in such price determination
then he lacks that protection which
our legal and commercial philosophy
has promised him. But second, and
almost as important as price bar
gaining, is the fundamental and ever
present questions of quality Of prod
uet. This is illustrated in the mar
keting Of fluid milk. Thus DR.. John
r. Williams few years ago re-
ported, after making a survey Of
municipal milk problems in Roch-
ester, New York.
Gin the study of the use Of milk
in the homes it was discovered that
many people are afraid to use cows
milk and use as little as possible"
The committee on agriculture Of
the Boston Chamber Of Commerce
issued a milk report in the year
1915 containing these words:
General consumption of fluid milk
for cooking purposes as well as in
dividual consumption has decreased
per capita in the last ten years."
The conclusion seems warranted
then that the problem of quality
rather than price is the chief con-
Germ of the successful and enduring
cooperative marketing association.

ton' D. c. Note these carefully.
- A recent book on marketing has
an elaborate chart to illustrate
what goes on in the dark" The
; printing of such a charge is sig
nlhcant. It reflects that insistent
and increasing demand to know
Where and how prices are deter
mined. 1t implies further that there
IS not merely mystery but also some
thing furtive, or even clandestine
and surreptitious in the levying AMI
; collection of marketing tolls" It is
the purpose of this brief article to
make certain definitions and distinc-
lions, and help us orient ourselves
IN regard to marketing.
- In it's broadcast sense agricultural
marketing means the getting of the
, goods from the producer (of the raw
materiaD to the consumer. Produc-
ton is defined as the creation Of
utilities. The farmer, therefore, is
a producer in the sense Of producing
= raw materials or elementary utilities.
The "middlemen" are producers in
the sense Of producing the utilities
or time, place and form, and also
performing certain personal services.
|. Marketing, as defined in this broad
way, therefore, includes certain es.
sentia1 functions such as grading
: and standardizing, storage, trans
portation, credit and finally selling
or merchandising. Selling evidently
~ but one step in marketing, and
should be so regarded. Therefore
any efforts to solve the marketing
problem which begin and end with
:. the selling question are merely pal
tering and piddling and piff1ing with
this tremendous problem. This is a
lesson which those cooperative as
sociattons which aim solely at price
fixing or price determination must
learn or pass away. To understand
the true relation of cooperative mar
. keting to the price-determination
: problem it is necessary to discuss
G certain economic principles and pol
1cies concerning price.
The problem of securing a "fair
price" for each commodity and each
service is indeed a serious one. The
= economic maxim-"Competition is
