NORWAY FEARS LOSS.
Hope Is Held That Pair Is Safely
Floating on Sea.

OSLO. Norway, August 81 CP).-The
pilots of the airplane Green Mountain
Boy, unreported more than so hours
on a trans-oceanic venture from New
York to Oslo, were feared tonight to
have been lost on the Atlantic.
A slim hope was expressed that Clyde
Lee and John Bochkon were floating on
the water or that they had landed in
some isolated spot where communica-
tions are scant.
Airport officials also suggested the
dyers might have brought their plane
down near a small vessel without wire
less.
When they left Harbor Grace. New
fcundland. early Thursday morning
they carried fuel enough for 81 hours
in the air, seven hours longer than
thew needed for the jump, but this
would have been exhausted early last
night.
Hoping against hope, several hundred
persons remained at the Oslo airdrorne
this morning watching for the airmen::
Airdronie officials Calculated that II
the flyers had remained aloft their
gasoline supply must by this time have
been exhausted. But lights were kept
burning for them and great projectors
swept the sky.

for breathing, but, Of course, gourmet

the oyster
This humane action toward the oyster
might also be dangerous to certain con-
sumers Of speakeasy fireWater. whose
breaths are exceedingly famelike. E:-
tinguish the fame and the customers
might be overcome by the resultant
smoke.
These same persons might object to
Tactic acid procured from sour milk,
as most of them are not milk enthu-
siasts but certainly Tactic acid couldn't
hurt them, being innocent and innocu-
Gus stuff, for example, as compared to
double distilled wood alcohol The same
thing applies to boric acid. Why. you
put boric acid in your eye. but appar-
emily the effect is not the same. DR..
Koehring claims boric acid will put an
oyster 10 Steep.
Still restaurateurs are not wholly In
sympathy with the plan. They think 1t
might affect the favor 1t might, after
all. be better to get some one to sing
them to sleep And there are certain
sconversationalists who probably could
put a whole bed Of oysters to sleep at
once. Or it might be even better to ex-
pertinent with bedtime stories.
DR.. Townsend does explain that the
heart of an oyster perceptibly beats for
some little time after the she'll is forced
open. And in order to open the shell
the adductor muscle. which holds it
together, must be sliced. That, in a
higher order of life, assuredly would be
painful, but Just how much pain g. mol
lusk with the nervous system of an
oyster feels, he is not prepared to say.
Asleep or awake, an oyster, except
by those immune to ptomaine, is eaten
alive. But it doesn't stand much
chance for an old age when 1t once
reaches the gastric juices.
The thing which will interest dealers
in oysters is DR.. Koehrings declaration
that her painless opening process will
reduce the cost of shucking from rs
cents TO around cents a gallon.
That statement Is likely to arouse the
most human instincts in the proprietor
of every oyster bar. Science, therefore,
may have made the lot Of oysters-on-
the-half shell happier one.

ANXIETY INCREASES

|BORAH URGES CUT
IN FARM BURDEN
Taxes and Mortgages Must
Be Reduced, Declares
Senate Leader.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, August 27.-Scaling
down of farm mortgages and lowering
of interest rates was advocated today
by Senator William E. Borah of Idaho
in a statement commenting on the
Midwest farm strike
Replying to questions from newspa-
per men as to the significance of the
strike, he said: MY view is that it is
an outward expression of a condition
which prevails throughout the agricul-
tural region of the West. Prices are
below the cost Of production. Every
thing has been Debated except taxes
and mortgages. These farmers have
therefore about reached the limit not
only of patience, but OF endurance"
He urged that the great insurance
and mortgage companies begin a pro-
gram OF readjusting and rewriting farm
mortgages in accordance with present
conditions and present price Of COM
modities.
1T may seem ideal" he added. "but
such things are done with reference to
corporate Indebtedness. To my mind
the situation is SO serious and the fu-
ture OF the country so involved that it
should and can be accomplished"
Sees Grave Threat.
Farm Indebtedness, the Senator de-
clared.. will either be readjusted VOL
unfairly and as a result of a great busi-
ness movement, or involuntarily through
foreclosures, bankruptcy and the re-
morseless grind of economic forces
which will undermine the whole agri-
cultural structure
Neither Of the political platforms
gives the slightest indication of a pro
gram which will bring relief, and so far
IN the campaign no proposal has been
offered along that line" he continued
The farmers, therefore, in despair, are
falling back upon methods such as are
now being employed. It would not be
easy to eXaggerate the seriousness of
the situation. Taxes are constantly in
creasing, mortgages doubling and treb-
ling. by virtue Of falling of prices, and
as the farmers believe, there is no ade-
quate appreciation of the situation and
no plan or proposal for relief in sight !"
Senator Borah stated that "agricul-
ture under present conditions never can
get from under its Indebtedness. which
ne said. had been estimated at about
VNSsCOOsOOOsOOO-
on the face of the paper But measured
by the price Of the things which the
farmer must sell in order to meet the
obligation compared with the price
when the Indebtedness was incurred
it is easily $25,OO0,OOO,OoO.
Stresses Tax Burden.
II do not know the average date of
interest. but I do know that in many
instances coming within my knowledge
commission and all, the interest rate
Is from 8 to 10 per cent. The farmers
taxes have increased over 300 per cent
in the last Is ears. Agriculture can
not pay out. Even with a reasonable
increase in the price of commodities
agriculture still cannot pay out. These
mortgages must be scaled down, read
Justed and the interest rate distinctly
lowered. This I believe to be in the
interest of the creditor as we'll as the
debtor I know it is In the interest
Of the country as whole"

MERCHANTS FEAR RUMORS.
Shanghai Tradesmen Ready to Move
Into International Settlement.
BY REGINALD SWEETLAND.

BY Gable to The staI.
SHANGHAI, August 27.-Chinese
merchants in the Hongkew, Chapel and
Nantao districts of the Shanghai area
are prepared to move into the Inter-
national Settlement and the French
concession at moments notice, fol-
lowing a series Of scare rumors, mostly
groundless, as a result of anti-Japanese
feeling whipped up by trade boycotters
terrorist organizations.
Back Of many of these scares lies
the fact that groups, sometimes 100
strong, of unarmed Japanese sailors
are touring through the war areas
of Chapel and Kiangwan, visiting the
sites where their comrades fell during
the Shanghai fighting in January and
February. Furthermore, the activities
Of the terrorist groups, being suppressed
in all Chinese newspapers, under the
mayors orders, have done much to
stir up exaggerated reports.
Can't Force Purchases.
In all sincerity the Chinese counselor
of the Chinese municipality OF Greater
Shanghai area today called on the
Japanese consul general, Kuramatsu
Mural, and promised that everything
would be done to suppress the illegal
activities of the boycotters. At the
same time he admitted that China had
no means at its disposal to compel its
nationals to purchase japanese goods.
AS return gesture, japanese officials
are permitting Chinese armed police to
act as guides to sailors on short leave
touring the war zones.
While terrorist groups were demand
ing a complete boycott, China's latest
cruiser of 3,700 tons sailed into the
harbor today. This cruiser was built by
the Japanese in Japanese shipyardS,
costing 100000 local dollars, of which
100000 have already been paid.
Though ordered many months ago. the
anomaly Of Japan building China S
fleet while the Chinese demand the ex-
pulsion of all japanese goods from
China picturesquely represents the COM
plete lack Of unity of thought and feel
ing existing in China.
Conference Against War.
While governmentally China is show
ing less unity than in many previous
months, glinmer of hope may be
found in the fact that the man on the
street is taking a more intelligent in

heels Of the anti-Japanese boycott con-
ference in Shanghai, a new group Of
400 delegates, representing 200 diversi-
fled organizations has convened to dis

fluential bankers are playing leading
role at this conference.
While Japanese air raids on Jehol
Province passes as we'll as on villages
directly northeast of the Great Wall at
Shanhaikwan are sensationally played
up in the Chinese press, saner Chinese
admit that the Japanese are taking this

Manchuria.
