The fact that in the second week

everywhere about the possibility of
a new Anglo Russian, Russo Polish
or 1ta1o- JugOSlav war is not the
worst thing. No responsible person
has seriously considered a declara-
ton of war. But we see rounda bout
shudderingly, how the methods of
the mad era of war are being en-

Is it not terrifyingly grotesque that
for weeks the improved relations
between Germany and France. due
to the Locarno pact, have been en-
dangered by the question of whether
officers of the former allies, or neu-

RACED fortresses of eastern Prussia?

over prestige could still throw dark

NIC0L ACQUITTED
OF GRAIN CHARGES
Former Vice President of Armour
Grain Co. Is Last Official
Called in Inquiry.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-K. V. r. Nicol,
former vice president of the Armour
Grain Co., today was acquitted of
charges of dishonorable conduct by
the directors of the Chicago Board
of Trade, which tried him on charges
preferred by {. special committee of
the board which had investigated the
Armour Co.
Nicol was the last of three former
officials of the Armour Grain Co. to
be tried by the exchange as a result
of charges that the Armour Co. had
defrauded the Grain Marketing Co.
Failed Of It's Purpose.
The Grain Marketing Co. was a
merger of the Armour Co. and two
Rosenbaum companies, and was in
tended to have been a farmer owned
and controlled cooperative, but failed
OF its purpose. 1t was charged that
at the time of the merger the Armour
Co. had substituted inferior grades of
wheat in it's Northwestern elevator,
and an arbitrator decided the Armour
Co. was indebted to the Grain Mar
keting Co. tn the extent of about
100000 as a result of this action.
Company Suspended.
Later the Armour Co. was suspend
ed from trading on the exchange and
charges were filed against three for
mer officials. George f.. Thompson,
who was general superintendent of
the Armour elevators. was expelled
by the board few days ago, after
being found guilty of dishonest con-
duct. and John Kellogg, who succeed
ed George E. Marcy as president of
the Armour concern, was given a two.
year suspension yesterday.
The Nicol verdict ended at least
temporarily, an investigation.
