Financial Critics
 Differ on Cause of
 New Slump of Mark

BE2LIN, July 29.-(By the Asso ciated Press)-Financial critics differ as to the immediate causes of today's record slump of the mark. Some of them said it was due to what they consider the somewhat brusque French note regarding Germany's clearing house payments.
 There was no Bourse today, but dollar-tradings at 6.50 were recorded and the official rate wavered between eos and COG. Foreign moneys again had to be allotted, demands being met in proportion to the supply on hand. This scarcity is held responsible for the marks drop by some quarters, which declare that speculation is a large contributing factor Industrial ists, as well as the general public, are blamed for alleged wild specula- tion against which stern measures are advocated.

TARIFF DEBATE AGAIN CENTERS
 ON WO0L RATES
Absence of Quorum Forces Senators to Recess in
 Midst of Roll Call

WASHINGTON, July 29.- Only three paragraphs in the wool schedule of the tariff bill were disposed of to- day by the senate, which again forced to recess in the midst of a roll call because of the absence of a quorum. Duties on cloth for mems suits and overeoats, and on pile fabrics were quoted today as recommended by the committee, and on motion of the com mittee, there was eliminated house provision proposing an added two per cent on wollen cloth subjected to any process of sponging, dampening, or shrinkage.
 Whether the wool schedule would be completed Monday was regarded by leaders on both sides as debata- ble, although Senator Lenroot, Repub- lican, Wisconsin, said he would con tent himself with the efforts thus framed to reduce the duties.
 Some Democratic leaders estimated today that the committee amendments could be disposed of by August 15, but since the senate then would have toact on each of the nearly 2,000 par agraphs in the bill, some of which have not thus far been open to change they thought it might be mid-Septem- Der before a final vote on the meas ure was reached.
 The paragraph proposing duties on blankets ranging from 20 cents pound and thirty per cent ad valorem to 40 cents a pound and 40 per. cent ad valorem was under consideration when the senate adjourned Senator Lenroot, had proposed to cut the per centage rates by approximately five per cent, but on the roll call only 45 senators, four less than a quorum, an- swered to their names, the division being g to 22. against the reduction
 Senator Walsh. ADemocrat, Massa- declared che protective rates on blankets were practically the same as in the Payne-Aldrich bill. but that the rates compensatory for the raw wool rate were higher than before" Senator Shoot said this was correct except in some brackets, where the Payne-Aldrich rates were higher Sen ator Walsh argued that the higher rates would affect the bulk of the i'm ports and that. unlike other wool man. ufacturers. more blankets were ex- ported than imported.

WASHINGTON, July 29.- Senator Heflin; Democrat, Alabama, resuming today in the senate, his attack on the federal reserve board and it's gover- nor, w. P. c. Harding, turned his fire on publicity of the board and the scant attention which he said was given his speeches criticizing the board by what he characterized as the subsidized press"
 The Alabama senator mentioned specifically H. Parker Willis whom he identified as an editor of the New York Journal of Commerce and who he declared had been on the payroll of the federal reserve board, first as secretary and later as director of research He contended that this was a way that the board got publicity and suppressed criticism of it, and the federal reserve banks.
 Denouncing what he termed the "subsidized press,' which he said had representatives in the capital, Senator Heflin said:
 When I mentioned the deflation policy of the reserve board today the correspondents of the great metropol- itan dailies left the gallery. flushed like a covey of birds. have asked why this has happened in the past and it was so that they could say that they did not hear me talk about de flation."
 MT. Heflin went on to say that he meant no offense to correspondents who did not represent ."subsidizet presses" but thst those whose con nections brought them within the scope of his attack would have to have the shoe if it fit"

 ''Then count. 'em again." he or dered.
 And behold, they counted the worms and not one was missing.
 Next time you get worm scare" said the young detective, don't send for us. Get an adding machine"

Thus 1t is clear that there was good reason for what might be called the send off that was given the retiring British soldiers by the Irish. They were glad to see them going, but they had also come to appreciate the fact tz=s the cause for i'll feeling had been to great degree removed and grounds for better relationship in the future es- tablished.
 Clearly apparent to the Irish must t be that the greatest menace at the pres ent time rests with the Irish. The fight is now, between the Free Staters and that small number of trreconcffab, ,ss who are hopelessly struggling to break down the new government. They are no longer fighting the British. They aro eDdeaworing to wipe out Irishmen and in turn are being greatly decreased in nurnoer, or driven to hiding, by the stiff enforcement of the penalties for failure to respect the laws of the new govern m> 1t! Ireland has rodson to be happy but it cannot be so until it has checked the fighting among themselves.

ETTEPS TO THE EDITOR
A FfEht to the Ffnish.

MT. Editor: The first thing I saw when I took up Mondays Bulletin was a column headed Prohibition Conference at the White House. Where, may I ask, could such a conference find a more appropriate place to hold a pro hibftion meeting than at the White House? The only liberty that prohibit tion takes from a man is the right to take up the whole sidewalk instead Of part of it-not knowing or caring who he knocks off into the gutter-but on the other hand it helps to fit him for any calling that he may choose to fol- low, to benefit him in all conditions of life, as father, son and husband. For what wife and mother can be prond of husband or son who is a whiskey or a beer drinker, for if he does not make himseh fool in one way he does in another. A moderate dFinker is hard to find, besides he exerts a bad inffu- ence over those who are too weak to control their appetites and though he may not consider himself to be ''IIts brothers keeper" I, like many others believe that a man to a certain extent is his brothers keeper and if he throws bad influence over another he will in some way be punished. The prohfbi- tionists did not enter the hard fight ex- pecting to have an easy time of it. They fully realized the difficulties and handi- caps that were placed before them, for they well knew the multitude Of men that were slaves to the rum curse evil but since they have entered the, fight they are going to keep at it, not allow, ing one discouragement to deter then from their duty.

FREE SEEDS AGAIN.

When tho last appropriation bills were before congress it was noticed that the committee had not included therein the usual provision for free seeds. That was an unheard of move, but made along with others for the pur pose of doing away with those eNpendi- lures which the country couId get along we'll without Because 1t meant the elimination of one of the appeals to constituents upon Whioh many of the congressman have depended it was hardly expected that it would be en- dorsed, and in keeping with expectation, even though believed to be against good judgment, the free seed appro- priation was returned.
 In the presentation of appropriation bills at this session of congress there has been another effort made to cur tall expenditures by the non-inclusion df the free seed appropriation. It is the right attitude to take, bat it h eoa- sidereraiole to hope, in view of the strong insistence for it in the past, that it will not be restored by those mem- bers of congress who are unwilling to OoP2NNG Ol "HdI IEcy COn- slider the vote, getting effect of such seed distribution.
 It is a matter oe only few hundred thousand dollars that is involved ir buying free seed. Then of course there Is the expense attached to getting them ready for mailing and that of the act. ual distribution, but the sending of the same material each year is far from the object intended when the seed dis. ribution idea was first advanced
 Those who have received the seedI are fully aware that it would be fal better for the government to keep the money that is involved in the plan i1 the treasury, or make use of it for oct ter proposes. It is one of the ways il which government expenditures can b. curtailed without causing any. loss O handicap to those in whose interests tn free seed distribution is advocated. Tn fact that the regular appropriation ha not been included in the bill cannot however, be regarded as rehecting th view of congress as yet. ,'.
