MARKING GRAVES
Transmits Proposal to House
to Erect Memorials at
Cemeteries in Europe.

President Harding transmitted to
the Speaker OF the House yesterday
proposition supported by Secretary
Weeks and Director of the Budget
Dawes urging legislation to create a
commission to erect suitable memori-
ais commemorating the services of
American soldiers in Europe. Presi-
dent Harding said that he concurs in
the recommendations of Secretary
Weeks and Director Dawes.
The project. as mapped out by the
War Department.. included four gen.
era! classes of monuments and mark
ers. as follows: Relief map in
bronze. outline sketch map in bronze.
special markers and bronze tablets.
Would Cost $4,000.
Should he tentative project, as out
lined by the War Department be ac-
| cepted by the commission contem-
plated in the recommendations of
President; 1t would involve approx
sketch maps. IL special monuments
and 10 tablets, at a total estimated
| cost Of $4,000.
Director Dawes further estimates
that this project would require about
$125,000 for the first two years, and
that the entire project would be com
pleted within five years. 1t is also
estimated that the annual charges
for upkeep and maintenance of the
entire project after completion would
probably amount to about $1,000 q
year. in connection with care OF
American cemeteries in the vicinity
of the monuments.

A conference is to be held at 10
o'clock this morning at the Grace
Dodge Hotel, women labor leaders
meeting at the call of the National
Women's Trade Union League to con-
slider the danger believed to be in
volved in the proposed equal rights"
amendment to the federal Constitu-
ton.
The call to the conference stated:
''On the basis of legal advice from
attorneys who have made a study of
the special fields of constitutional and
Industrial law, our national legisla-
tive committee and executive board
believe that the so-called equal
rights blanket amendment proposed
by the National Women's Rarty to the
federal Constitution would seriously
interfere with existing laws which we
have worked for years to secure.
See Danger to Present Laws.
I'VE believe, in the light of ex-

tary of War as chairman. one senator

Army, the national commander OF

Director Dawes says that the need
for central supervision is indicated
by the fact that American battlefields
in Europe now have a large number OF
markers showing the performances
Of five or six American divisions
Most of these markers were erected
by these divisions before leaving
France for the United States. They
are mainly of temporary construction
and with little architectural beauty.

crisis was past. but this cannot be con-
firmed. The director of the RelchebanlN
said that the first deliveries of notes
were made In the big industrial areas,
notably the Ruhr valley and Saxony,
where labor trouble was likely. Some
firms are paying in checks, while the
private issue of notes by big concerns
is becoming more general
Payment in kind Is common. An agri-
cultural college demands rye, urbot-
tied, in exchange for tuition. Doctors
In some cities are regulating their fees
according to bread prices. The practice
OF retailers fxing prices on a level with
outside markets is spreading, though it
has been general where imported goods
are sold.
That there is much speculation in
money is indicated In the fact that many
Germans are willing 10 pay interest even
as high as 100 per cent. for marks.
Farmers continue to hoard the mark de-
spite its depreciation, hoping to avoid
taxation as result of bank inspections.
The stock market is at the lowest ebb
in month and fuctuation Is slight.
Many manufacturers whose capital was
fixed when the mark had ten times its
present value are doubling and re-
doubling their capitalization There have
been increases in the face value OF glass
and bituminous coal securities ranging
from 500 to 1000 per cent.

CARS IN GOOD ORDER
INCREASE SINCE STRIKE
Percentage Is Being Grad
ually Reduced.

That the railroads OF the country,
despite a countrywide strike of shop
men, for more than two months have
succeeded in reducing the percentage OF
freight cars on line In need OF repair
is shown in reports by the Car Service
Division of the American Railway AS
ISOLATION. indicating 1874 per cent. in bad
order September 10, compared with 14.3
per cent .on July /, the date that marked
the shopmen's wallSout.
AS of September is last, there were
3o4,54S freight cars on line in need OF
repair. The decrease from the July
level was 20,035 cars. On September 10,
1921, 374,431 cars were in need of
repair, representing 1873 per cent. of the
total cars on line. The reason for the
larger percentages last year was given
as business depression, which afforded
tho executives more leeway in the re-
habilitation of rolling stock.
The figure as of September Is shows
a reduction of 17,126 from the number
CT freight cars in need OF overhauling
on the first of last month. The report
states that decreases In the number OF
bad order cars were noted in every dis
trict throughout the country.

TURK SECURITIES
STRONG ON BOURSE
Franco-German Steel Trust to
Exceed U. s. Capacity,
Says Rumor.

Special Cable to Tyrp New Yoxx Hprnn.
Copyright, 1899. by TIM Nrw YoaK HERALp
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Oct. 1.
One element leading to the belief that
the present Turkish trouble gradually
will vanish is the fact that the French
Bourse's Turkish division last week
showed remarkable resistance. While in
the other quotations, chiefly coppers,
there we've the usual fluctuations Incl
dent to threats of war, Turkish securi-
ties, especially the later pre-war issues
and various tobacco and mining stocks
were eagerly sought at prices comparing
fayocably with the high levels of last
year. Offers, it was said, did not come
from French bidders. but chiefly Ameri-
lSan and English, which is taken as an
I other indication that big finance of the
outside world is not anxious to aid in
incitng trouble in the Near East.
Apart from this new interest in Turk
ish affairs, the financial mart was ex-
ceptionaliy dull throughout the week,
and though plenty of money was Of
fered by the banks at the usual rates
there seems to be a feeling that month
end settlements may reflect political ten
sion Monday, If for no reason other than
it offers splendid chance for lenders
other than the established banks for
grabbing an additional half of per
cent on temporary advances.
The metallurgical world is prophesying
early Improvement In business, apparent
ly because of impending arrangements
with German firms. Rumors of a great
anco-German steel trust which will
exceed the capacity OF American organi-
cations still are heard everywhere, and
evidently have some foundation, but 1t
Is doubtful whether the merger will
reach, the proportions that French steel
magnates have been describing to their
friends. So far as can be learned, the
only basis for the report Is a preliminary
agreement between Hugo SHINES and
Jules Bernard, owner of important in
.tercsts In northern and eastern France.
According to a well informed financial
expert, their accord thus far comprises
four conditions:
First--Tho interruption OF construction
of any new errnan metallurgical works.
Second--The Ruhr district to furnish
large quantities of coal to the Lorraine
steel mills now owned by the French
Third-The French to furnish the Ger
mans, at rock bottom prices correspond
ingly large quantities Of half finished
metal products.
Fourth - German PARTICIPATION IN
French firms financially, some Lorraine
firms considering permitting fourth
of their capital stock to be held by the
Germans.
The general scheme Is 10 be drawn up
aa soon as arrangements are completed
for the visit of D group or German IN
vestors to the devastated regions, 10 IN
spect the mills interested in the pro-
jected metal alliance.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Diamond Markets Of World
Strong Despite Lack of
Normal Demand.

The diamond markets both here and
abroad continue strong, although de-
mand is still below normal. There has
been some Improvement In business in
the last month, but orders from whole
sslers and retailers are small and ap-
parently OF the hand to mouth char
acter. Importers are said to be ex-
periencing difficulty In obtaining a
normal quantity of the, better grade Of
rough stones. The small supply OF
high grade diamonds and the restric-
tons on distribution abroad arc factors
making for higher prices. The surplus
of inferior diamonds has been reduced
to a condition, II Is said, where 1t no
longer menaces the structure Of prices.
Local cutting establishments are operat-
ing on slightly larger scale, reflect
ing preparations for the holiday trade.

knitting yarns, especially mohair, are
said to be enjoying good demand.
Automobile manufacturers arc keen
buyers OF mohair yarns. Interest In
hand knitting yarns has increased. al
though the demand IS not as strong as
the machine yarns. Consumers OF hand
knitting yarns show preference for
the cheaper grades, because OF lower
