LOW RATE INTEREST
WANTED FOR FARMER
Federal Reserve Bank is Consider.
ing 3 1-2 Per Cent. ON
Farm Loans.

Washington, Aug. 15-Establish-
ment of a special re-discount rate of
3 and one-half per cent. on agricul-
tural paper is under consideration
by the federal reserve board, Off
Gals said today. The proposal has
been laid before the federal reserve
banks, it was explained, and action
by the board is being withheld pend
ing their replies, although officials
indicated, the suggestion was not
meeting with favor generally.
AS suggested, officials explained,
the special farm rate would enable
banks which made loans for agricul-
tural purposes-upon the security of
farms products-to rediscount at 3
and one-half per, cent. which is
one-half per cent. below the lowest
reserve rate now in effect, if the rate
charged by the banks to the original
borrower did not exceed 6 per cent.
A special farm products rate, otti-
cials recalled, was in effect in 1915
but was discontinued.

SOUTHERN TURNS
TO OUTSIDE HELP
WILL NOW EMPLOY AVAILABLE
WORKERS.-HARRlSON SAYS
IF 1T MEANS WAR "LET US
HAVE it NOW, NOT LATER" ;"
TRAINS MUST BE RUN

Washington, Aug. 15.-The South
ern railway, which to date has made
no efforts to combat the shopmen's
strike, announced today through its
president, Fairfax Harrison, that it
would employ any help available to
keep trains in operation.
Mr.. Harrison in formal state
ment said that the Southern had
made every effort to settle with its
men even "to the extent of offering
the terms that they had previously
agreed to accept" and without result,
and that eff it means war to run the
Southern railway then let US have it
now-not later"
Officials Of the company supple
mented Mr.. Harrison's statement
only to the extent of pointing out
that conferences between the rail-
road management and the strikers
were held last week without result
and that the only course left open to
the company was to employ such
workers as could be obtained.
The statement issued by Mr.. Har-
rison said:
every effort has been made so
to operate our PROPERTY that our men
could honorably return to work. Ev-
cry effort has been made to settle
with our men, we have gone to the
extent of offering the term that they
had previously agreed to accept. We
have thus held out every reasonable
inducement for them to return.
"We must now turn to employing
others, for the road must be run; we
must give those we employ protec-
ton, for it may be that those we
have up to this time protected by
keeping their jobs open may now
turn against US even to an attempt
to prevent others from working.
"Call is now being maIe upon ev-
cry employee, upon every patron OF
this company and upon every citizen
along it's lines to rally to the support
of the road that has served you and
protected your own interest in the
maintenance of transportation. With
your help we can run the road and
we pledge all the resources of Ne
company to that end. If it means war
to run the Southern railway then
let US have it now-not later"

SILVER DEFENDING
FORD'S PROPOSAL
REPLIES TO CRITICISM by SEN
ATOR FROM OKLAHOMA
SAYS FORD'S PROPOSALS
GUARANTEE PRODUCTION OF
BIG QUANTITIES.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Replying
to criticism by Senator Harreld, Of
Oklahoma, and other members Of
congress, that Henry Ford in his
proposed contract for taking over the
Muscle Shoals project does not guar
antee to manufacture fertilizer, Gray
Silver, Washington representative of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, today wrote them calling atten-
tion to Section Is Of the Ford offer
which he quotes as stating that "the
manufacture, sale and distribution
of commercial fertilizers constitute
one of the principal considerations Of
this Offer"
Mr.. Silver declared this the most
important provision in the contract
and one the violation Of which pro-
vides for the institution Of proceed
ings by the attorney general to can
eel the entire lease.
"Not only does Mr.. Ford guaran-
tee to manufacture fertilizer but he
states that he will make 100000 tons
of nitrogen equal to one-ffth Of our
consumption for fertilizer and he
will do so with the "most economical
power available" says Mr.. Silveris
letter.
"The failure to make 8 per cent.
profit, or the failure to make any
profit, or the inability to manufac-
ture this fertilizer at less than it is
sold is not a cause beyond its con-
troll and would not give him the right
to cease the manufacture of the full
amount of fertilizer.
"Mr. Ford's proposal is to manu-
facture nitrogen and other CONNER
cial fertilizers, mixed or unmixed
and with or without filter, according
to demand Other commercial fer
tilizers must include phosphate or
potash fertilizers ingredients, as dis
tinguished from nitrogen CONNER
cial fertilizers. Mr.. Ford will not
fulfil his contract if he does not pro-
duce other fertilizer materials, such
as potash and phosphates.
"The methods of producing phos-
phate fertilizers are well known" l."
the letter concludes, "and the source
of material is within 40 miles of the
Muscle Shoals plant in the Tennes-
see phosphate fields, and there are
great possibilities in the production
of potash from potash shales by the
use of the electric furnace and from
other substances"

LORD NORTHCL|FFE
SUMMONED DEATH
GREAT BRTAIN's ; LEADING
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER Sue
CUMBS TO ILLNESS OF TWO
MONTHS-WAS STRICKEN IN
COLOGNE.

London, Aug. l5.-Lord Nortn-
cliffe, Great Britain's leading pub
Usher, passed peacefully away yes
terday morning after an illness of
about two months.
Death was due to infectious or ul-
cerative endocarditis, which, accord
ing to one Of the physicians attend
ing, probably began insiduously
months ago, possibly during his trip
around the world.
Lord Northcliffe was stricken in
Cologne while he was making a trip
incognito through Germany. AL
though he was aware of the mysteri-
BUSINESS of his illness, he battled
gamely to regain his health.
The news of the death of Lord
Northcliffe did not come as surprise
for during the past several weeks the
bulletins issued by his physicians, al
though skillfully worded, had failed
to hold out hope for his recovery.
Nevertheless his passing has caused
universal sorrow, and messages Of
sympathy have poured into his widow
all day long from all parts of the
world.
News of Lord Northcliffe's death
was given out by the doctors, who
have been attending him, in this bull
letin:
"Viscount Northcliffe died at 1912
o'clock. The end was perfectly peace
full"
The death of no, other unofficial
person could have made a deeper
impression in England than that of
Lord Northcliffe. The news was not
a surprise, as the bulletins issued by
the doctors for the last week. plain
ly indicated their patient was dying.
Lord Northcliffe was by far the
most noted man in British journal
ism and the first question on every
ones lips was as to what effect his
death will have on the policies of
The Times and his other newspapers
which since the end of the war have
strongly opposed the Lloyd George
administration and its principles with
the notable exception of its dealings
with Ireland, which the Northcliffe
press supported throughout.
Lord Northcliffe will be buried
Thursday in the St. Mary LIE Bow
cemetery, Finchley. The funeral SER
vice will be held in Westminster Alb
bey.

LONDON MEETING
WITHOUT RESULT
CONFERENCE ONLY AGREES
TO DISQUALIFICATION
TAKEN BY BRITISH AND 9TH.
ERS FAILS TO WIN APPROVAL
OF THE FRENCH.

London, Aug. 15.-The 18th allied
conference on German reparations
broke down today, "agreeing to dis
agree" as the spokesmen for both
France and Great Britain put it,
there having been complete lack of
unanimity on the important points
discussed.
From it's commencement the con-
ference seemed predestined to fail
ure, according to the views expressed
by close observers Of the situation,
and these observers tonight are of
the opinion that the failure indicates
utter incompatibility between the
policies of Great Britain and France
toward Germany.
To what extent the recent note OF
Earl Balfour contributed to todays
results is partly evidenced by the
line of the 18th hour attempts by
signor Echanzer, the leading Ital-
ian delegate, at mediation with Pre-
mier Lloyd George at Chequers Court
Sunday, when the Italian foreign
minister proposed that discussing OF
q moratorium for Germany should
be adjourned until the various coun-
tries had carried out their debt fund
ing negotiations with the United
States.
Mr.. Lloyd George submitted this
proposition to the conference today
but, although it was supported by the
other delegates, it was opposed by
Premier Poincare and thereupon Mr.
Lloyd George declared he was un-
able to agree to an adjournment of
the conference without a moratori-
UNI.
The situation now appears that the
conference has separated without any
idea of new conference. The Brit
ish government insists upon mora
torium as an imperative precedent to
any further negotiations. On the
other hand, M. Poincare resolutely
refuses a moratorium, unless it is &C.
companied by what he calls "guaran-
tees"
The English critics of the situa-
ton as between England and France
saw no other outcome from the first
They held that M. Poincare feared
his parliament and apprehended q
fall like that of former Premier
BRAND if he yielded to British per-
suasion. The previous allied confer
ences concerning Germany generally
have ended with some show of sur.
face agreement between the policies
of Great Britain and France. This
was almost the first occasion or
which the delegates "agreed to diff
