Triberg, in Baden, Germany, Sept.
10.-The dollar has certain value at
the bank, even after the local branch
of the Disconto Gesellschaft has de-
Quoted 10 per cent commission for
changing it into marks. 1t has a GER
tain, by which | mean a definite value.
But beyond that it has a sentimental
or speculative value in the German
mind, illustrated by my experience In
getting a fishing license.
We were two, and wished to pit our
skill with the toothsome trout. The
country is a checkerboard of gurgling
brooks, but we had heard of teme-
rarious foreigners who were pinched,
fined and jailed for poaching on pri-
vate fishing preserves and for flouting
the game laws of Baden. We were not
anxious to spoil a holiday by trans
crossing the regulations. So we ap-
pealed to the Swiss hotel proprietor
who insists that he Is a German-for
guidance, which was forthcoming IN
the shape of an introduction TO a
friend of his who soon acquired the
right to fish a couple of hundred
yards of stream some miles back IN
the country.
This estimable citizen would gladly
cede us the right to fish his whole pre-
serves for the entire season for two
dollars.
Reasonable enough. But it ran
counter to our sense of what is fit
ting and proper. In the first place we
had a constitutional objection to a
German who made his price in dol
lars. Let this precedent be estab-
lished and hotel bills would be rem
dered in dollars and our vacation
budget was shattered. Then we must
bargain or be thought mere American
millionaires. So we came back with
counter proposition. We had marks,
not dollars. We would pay him 1,200
marks, Entirely unacceptable. We
argued. Finally be agreed to take the

veneer of modernism and to re-estab-
lish the atmosphere of continental Eu-
rope during the American Legion ma
honal convention here October 1920
Entertainment plans for the 100000
legionaires and visitors expected al
the gathering include features typical
of the south and of the cosmopolitan
ism encountered overseas
One of the leading events of the
program is a French carnival night,
to be directed by a number of French
societies whose histories date back to
colonial days. The legionaires will be
guests at three carnival balls, similar
to those held during the famous Mardi
Gras celebrations. There will be the
customary kings and queens with their
picturesque courts and retainers. The
veterans who desire informality will be
able to participate in the street dances
to be held on three public squares.
Delegates to the convention ses-
sions, which will be held in the morn
ing, will meet literally down on the
levee." A large covered pier, nearly
1000 feet long and 400 feet wide,
astride the Mississippi river levee, will
be used as the convention meeting
place. 1t will seat 1900 delegates
and visitors. One-haff will oe devoted
to the convention proper and the other
half to telephone and concession
booths, committee rooms, ticket vail
dating offices and concession booths
The interior will be decorated with
flags Of all allied powers, legion en-
blems and banners, and palm trees.
The business streets will be illumi-
mated by 2S,O00 electric bulbs and
their names changed to designations
more appropriate to the Legion gath
ering. A Court of Honor of the Ma
tons" will be established in ten blocks
of the principal streets, with corre-
spending flags and banners of allied
powers. Insignia of all divisions in
the American army will be suspended
across the Streets of the divisions"
In the port on Lake Ponchartrain a
naval show will be held. The L. s. s.
birmingham, flying the flag of Rear
Admiral Cole, commanding the special
service squadron, six destroyers and
II seaplanes from the naval air sta
ton at Pensacola, have been ordered
TO New Orleans during the convention
and will form the representations Of
the United States. Invitations to send
ships have been forwarded through the
state department to naval authorities
of England, including Canada and Au-
stralia, France, Italy, Japan, Brazil
and Cuba.

st. Paul, Sept 10.-When Mrs. Anna
Dickie Oleson, Minnesota democrat and
candidate for United States senator,
opened her campaign in Crookston, the
issues were joined for a struggle that
bids fair to be picturesque and spec
tacular before the votes are counted
next November. However Minnesota
democrats are far from echoing the
confident declarations of victory that
are coming in from other parts of the
country. The fight naturally will re-
volve around Mrs Oleson and her re-
publican opponent, Senator Frank B.
Kellogg, and the woman candidate has
let it be known that she intends to car
ry the fight directly to the incumbent.
Mrs. Oleson is ignoring the presence
in the race of DR.. Henrik Shipstead,
running as a farmerlabor candidate al
though the latter is going to poll a con-
siderable vote. incidentally, while the
wounds may be healed before election
day rolls around again, there is no
question that the democratic party has
woman at the head of the ticket.
1t is argued also by many of the best
posted politicians in the state that the
dissatisfied republican who considers
that Senator Kellogg is too conserv-
ative, will not vote for a woman, but
reluctantly will support his own party
candidate rather than TO vote for Ship
stead.
Minnesota is an unusual state where
politics is taken seriously and where
candidates differ greatly from those
in any other section of the union. For
instance the claim was made that Sen
ator Kellogg's hope rested on the farm
er-labor and democratic candidates be-
ing retained in the race because 'the
combined vote of the two was greater
than that Of the republican party" this
is not true. Two years ago Governor
J. A. o. Preus polled $4,000 more
votes than the combined vote of Ship
stead, the present senatorial aspirant,
and L. c. Hodgson, then mayor of ST
Paul, and the democratic senatorial
candidate polled 10000 more votes than
the combined total of all other sena-
toriaI candidates. While candidates
have changed somewhat, Kellogg, re-
publican leaders believe, instead of de-
pending on split field. would be even
better off with the candidacy narrowed
down to only one candidate

INDUSTRY RISE
MARKED BY CAR
LOADING GAINS
Steel Industry Speeds
Up as Conditions
Improve.

New York, Sept. 1O.-(By the AS
sociated Press. With soft coal pro-
ductiOn reaching satisfactory levels
and with the hard coal strike practi-
call settled, interest in business and
financial circles has centered during
the last week in the extent of indus
trial recovery and the prospects for
fall business.
The steel industry, perhaps the chief
sufferer from the strikes, shows signs
of improvement. The 80 per cent ca
pacity level of operations to which the
industry was reduced by the strikes,
has been bettered slightly and fur
ther gain is expected. With con-
plies. however, the trade is moderate
in its anticipations. A return to a 60
per cent basis this fall is considered
more likely than q full recovery to the
rs per cent basis reached in the
early summer. Opinions differ as to
the probable duration of existing high
er steel prices but most observers con-
slider six months an adequate allow
ance.
Reports on the railroad traffic
movement continue to be reasonably
satisfactory. The latest available re-
turns, those for the week ended Au-
gust 26. show total loadings of S91,-
600 cars, a figure which tops the pre-
vious high record for the year by some
$4,000 cars. Financial quarters mean

at the Minnesota state fair the past
week when he was compelled to stop
sneaking because of the unruly con-

track prandstand points anew the in
considerateness of fair managers in
bringing distinguished public men to oc-
casions of that sort. The vice presi-
dents experience was not new one,
by any means. not even at the Min
nesota fair. Other public men have
suffered the same fate.
During the presidential campaign of
1000 both Governor Cox and Senator
Harding spoke at the Minnesota fair
and both were interrupted many times

great crowds. 1t is particularly un-
fortunate that the fair managem ent
should put it's public speakers before
the grsndstand crowd just prior to the
start of trotting races or other track
snorts. 1t is foolish to suppose that
fair crowds go to the grounds to hear
sneeches. They go to see all the sights.

much as they like to see the prize bull.
But having seen the celebrity, they

This had been demonstrated time and
time again.
At the Minnesota fair grounds all
sorts of amusements are provided for
the crowds in the grand stand. While
the speakers are enedavoring to make

Constantinople, Sept. 10.-(By the
Associated Press. One hundred
thousand Greek troops have evac-

GREEKS SWEPT OUT
Paris, Sept. 10.-The Turkish ma

campaign, have swept the Greeks
out of Asia Minor, and the Kemal-
lists, who Saturday entered Smyrna,
today took as prisoners, the rem
nants of the Greek forces remaining
behind to cover the wild flight of
the Greek army that a month ago
held securely a large part of western
Asia Minor and talked of marching
through Thrace into Constantinople.
The Turks ran race with the
diplomats, their leaders say, and won
the race, for Turkish arms settled

according to AngOra advice, the prob

vided, a problem with which diplo-
macy has been struggling for three
years.

warship in fear of his life, is now
hotbed of typhus and plague and is
crowded with thousands of refugees
without food.
The allied consuls and naval con-
tingents, including the Americans,
had begun the restoration of order
as soon as they arrived, but the Turks
have taken charge of Smyrna and
their first efforts have been direct
ed toward stamping out epidemics
and relieving distress. Smyrna, which
has been the goal of the nationalists,
as Angora was that of the Greeks,
soon will witness. according to dis
patches from Angora, the ceremon-
ious and triumphant entry into the
city of Mustapha Kemal Pasha and
others of the nationalist government.
The seething ferment of Asia Minor
now seems to have been transferred
to Athens through the returned
troops, dispatches from the Greek
capital say, and there is much talk
of Constantine's second descent from
the throne and the return of Venize-
los to power. The Greek soldiers

A dispatch to the Havas agency
