American officials in Touch
Through Departmental Reports.

By the Associated Press.
| Germany, facing political and
economic situation generally admit
ted as most serious, must, in the view
Of American officials as expressed
yesterday, look across the Rhine to
France for necessary relief.
France, it was stated yesterday by
one official in close touch with devel-
opments in Europe, must loosen her
grip upon the reparations situation
to tighten Germany's financial burden
or utter collapse of the former strong
central power, may result and a radi-
cal regime arise from the ruins.
Help from the United States, It
generally is maintained by officials
here. can, only be given Germany in
the form of loans Of private capital.
and Germany can obtain loans only
through the offer Of sufficiently pro-
tective security to attract investors.
Under the present reparations scheme
it appears to officials hero that all
of Germany's resources are bound to
the wheel Of allied payments and held
close by the hand Of France. so that
unless Germany can obtain conces-
sions to permit of the pledging OF
some of her potential wealth as
security all hope of financial assist
ance from without must be aban-
doned.
France Holds the Key.
The situation in Germany fnan-
cially and economically has been
made known to ofYicials of the Ameri-
can government not through any for
NAL communication from the German
embassy but by means of reports
from American representatives in
Germany of the State and Commerce
departments. These have been sup
plemented by information given by
American business men who have
been In Germany recently or have
representatives there with whom they
are in close touch and by frequent
conversations between members of
the German embassy stan and public
men in Washington who. are concern
ed with the European situation.
All of these reports and communi-
cations were said to agree very
closely in certain general conclusions.
The salient feature is the conviction
expressed that France holds the key
to the solution of this great problem
of the rehabilitation of German
finances and upon her attitude in
the collection of payments. due under
the reparatfon clauses of the Yer

The plea for the injunction here
was presented by B. !. Scott. legal
adviser for the road, and asked that
the strikers be restrained from picket
ing, intimidating workers and de-
stroying property.
Troops Ordered to Clinton.
Lieut. Gov. Sterling of Illinois to-
night ordered troops to Clinton. where
an outbreak was threatened following
a clash between Illinois Central
guards and strike sympathizers in
which a boy was killed and two men.
one a striker, were injured.
One bright ray appeared through
the threatening strike clouds tonight
when d. w. Helt, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen,
announced he would withhold strike
orders to $4,000 signalmen pending
the preparation and submission Of a
program to the United States Rail-
road Labor Board.
Mr.. Helt's announcement was made
following an all-day conference with
w. L McMenimen, labor member of
the board.
While neither the board nor Mr..
Helt indicated the proposed program
on which the signalmen would call off
their strike, 1t was generally believed
, that it would be modelled after the
agreement reached with maintenance
of way officials earlier in the week.
Plan to Open Shops.
With B. M. Jewell, head of the
shop crafts, and the Labor Board
each standing firm in the attitude
| that peace overtures must come from
the other. the railroads tonight were
girding for the second week Of the
struggle, determined to maintain un-
interrupted transportation and thus
! break the strike.
Many roads were preparing to open
their shops the first of the week.
when the ultimAtum to strikers to
return or lose their seniority rights
| expires.
Some carriers. have applied for
troops to protect employees and prop
erty in this move: others are making
| ar.anRements to afford private pro-
lection to employees who remain at
work and others that are being en-
ployed.
NEGOTIATIONS Deadloekea.
Efforts looking to an immediate
| settlement Of the strike apparently
Letood still today. Following the
statement yesterday. of Chairman
Hooper of the Labor Board. that the
board had no power to mediate the
strike so long as the men remained
away from work, Mr.. Jewell today
| reiterated his assertions that the
arst move toward peace must come
from the roads or the board.
| Except for the disorders at Clinton,
Ill. most Of today's violence was
confined to clashes between strike
L lsyfnpathixers and workmen due to
the efforts Of the strike sympathizers
to persuade the employees still on the
job to quit.
Missouri, Kansas and California
were among states that had either
assembled troops or were prepared to
do 90 in case disorders occurred.

infraction of federal laws. Interference
with interstate commerce or mails win
not be tolerated. Mr.. Parshall said.
The appearance of the federal
officers was theatrical. There was no
inkling generally that they were COM
ing, and when they descended from
the train, with badges pinned to their
coats. and strobe up the main street
Of the town, it caused a sensation.
The marshal and his party estab-
lished headquarters at a hotel and
arranged for a consultation with the
mayor of Slater.

tendent OF the Chicago and Alton rail-

GOVERNMENT T
OF PRICES AND
SEN. JIM REEF

SEN. JIM REED
The following was handed us by a
prominent local Democrat and is
based on a full knowledge of che
facts expressed in it. It is especially
interesting in view of Senator Reeds
statements which he continues to
make regardless of their ~refutation:
Wonderful Herbert Hoover-whiie
every other business was al
lowed to profiteer." reported ex-
clamation of Senator Reed at Char
aleston Missouri, in discussing the
price fixed for wheat during the
war;.
The foregoing is a fair sample of
the misinformation that is being scat
tered broadcast over Missouri, by
Senator Reed and the newspapers
that quote him. The natural infer
ence is that wheat was the only
commodity that was limited in price
What are the facts?
The price of wheat and other farm
products such as beef and pork on
the markets were fixed at more than
twice the brewer price, and guaran.
teed, and the government supervised
the mills, elevators, and packers ane
saw to it that the price was paid ths
farmer, and that the product wal
sold at a fair profit for handling.
But that is not all. The govern
ment controlled the great steel indus
try and limited the prices to about
rs per cent above pre-war prices.
It controlled the sugar industry ant
limited the price to about fifty pei
Gent over pre-war prices.
It controlled the coal industry, ant
limited the price to very little above
lpre-war prices.
1t controlled the automobile indus
try, and limited the price and com
mandeered practically all the lout'
put.
It controlled the oil and gasolin'
industry, and limited the prices. 4
fact it controlled every industry, tina
could he controlled.
After the war, when government
control was released, what happen
ed? Prices of farm products fiuc
tuated for a while and then tumble
to pre-war leavels. The price Q
sugar went from about s cents to 81
The price of cotton ,woolen and leath
er goods went sky high, while cottor
!, wool and hides, dropped to almost not
ing. Coal doubled in price, and $

COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY
TO Be LOCATED IN MEXICO

For years Mexico has been known
a. q school and college town and now
smother school has been added Of
which the city win soon have reason
to be proud. It is the Commonwealth
University, Incorporated, and it has
already been granted a charter by the
State of Missouri.
1t is the intention Of those connect
ed with the school to begin q CORES
pandence course Of instruction in
craftsmanship which win be suitable
for both travelling and retail sales
men. Later the courses given will be
enlarged to take in other branches of
business knowledge. The University
is designed primarily to be Of great
benefit to those who are engaged in
business.
Birch F. Rhodus is president Of the
new school and his son, Howard ].

these 1nen r connected with the Con-
tinental Bank Supply Company and
are well known in Mexico, having
taken an active part in civic affairs.

both as an educator and salesman
and his son was at one
time president of the salesman
ship club of st. Louis. Edward

University.
1t is the intention Of those inter-
ested to locate the headquarters Of the
school and also its entire Office force
IN Mexico If it is found practical to
conduct so large a business enterprise

University will be able to give office
employment to many stenographers
and also to persons, who have had the
advantage of high school and college
training. It viii offer particular ad-
vantages to those skilled in the use
of English.

new University will be called to the
attention of the local Chamber OF
Ccrnerce but nothing other than Its

Ding figures concerning the rapid
growth of another American Cores
pOndence School. The school which
has been in existence for twelve
years has increased its assets from
$4,000 TO $6,250O00, which is an In
crease of 125 times. The school now
has an office force Of about six hum
bred persons and the payroll in a sim
gle year excluding statesmen, amounts
to about $950,0O0. The organization
consists Of more than 1400 persons
and more than 295 900 persons have
applied to it for instruction. These
students have added more than $685.
000, 900 TO their yearly income. The
gross business Of the school in q sim
gle year amounted to $6y900,O00. In
1910, 5000 students were enrolled in
the school and this number had in
creased to $4,000.
The mail sent out by the school
amounted to 100000 pieces in q
single year and had a total weight OF
4 100000 pounds, the postal outlay
being 5000 a day. A list Of 1000 OF
the schools pupils show that their
average increase in salary after TAX
ing the course was 55 per cent.
College courses by correspondence
are increasing in popularity until now
not far from two hundred of the reg
ular old line colleges have installed

It is the intention Of those in
charge Of the Commonwealth Uni
Rersity to divide the Unied States
into districts with managers in each
district. The school will be intro
duced as the Commonwealth Univer'
sity of Mexico so will be an excellent
advertisement for Mexico. 1t viii

and the local post office department
For the present, the offices Of thu
