tenance were reflected in reports
on railway operations for october.
Of the first SO companies to re-
port. only 10 showed increases in
net operating income in compari-
son with their receipts the year
before. although % had larger
gross revenues.

cline of 1.3 per cent in gross but
a cut of 1919 per cent in net
operating income. The compari-
son in respect to gross, which was
the poorest disclosed in months,
was affected by the fact that the
emergency freight Surcharges ex-
pired on October /.

WINCHESTER, Va, May 27.-Dam-
age to the commercial apple crop OF the
Shenandoah, Cumberland and Potomac
Valleys of Virginia, Maryland, West
Virginia and Southern Pennsylvania as
a result of the abundance of rosy aphls
in orchards may be as high as 70 per
cent of the estimated crop, according to
reports compiled here today.
The Winchester research laboratory,
maintained by the Virginia Experiment
Station, stated that the Virginia crop
probably will be reduced approximately
20 per cent by the aphis outbreak
Reports received here from Crozet, in
the Piedmont section of Virginia, and
from Waynesboro, in the Southeastern
section of Pennsylvania, were to the
effect that both sections were expert

Growers around Crozet added that
enormous numbers of caterplllars-
greater than in recent years-are de-

1t has been 10 years since the rosy

ards, growers said. The pest has a
peculiar habit of attacking beneath the
leaves of trees. and spraying from be-
low is necessary in order to reach them
effectively.

BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press financial Writer


NEW YORK, May 27.-Seccndary
loans OF all categories led another up
turn in the bond market today, the
more speculative issues exhibiting con-
siderable buoyancy.
While lower-priced maturities re-
sponded enthusiastically to Washing
tons move to cancel the gold clause Of
public and private contracts, highest
grade investment obligations, including
some United States Government Sc
curities, displayed moderately easier
tone.
Dealers generally hesitated to express
an opinion regarding the long-term ef-
feet of the administrators action on
the loans market. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the resolution to void
gold payments was merely the legaliza-
ton of a condition which has existed
since the Presidential decree of last
March.
Railroad bends made the best show
ing of the active short session. Among
the most active, up ! to 3 or more
points, were some of Baltimore & Ohio,
Boston g. Maine, Erie, Illinois Central,
Missouri Pacific, New York Central,
Nickel Plate and Southern. Some is
sues of Union Pacific and Chesapeake

Prominent utility and industrial
gamers included loans of Western

Brockton, Mass, Oct "A. (UP)-- A motorcade of strike-breakers was stoned and a strike-breaker retailiated with a revolver shot in a clash growing out of Brockton's shoe industry dispute to-day, &C., cording to report to police. No one was reported injured.

Schools Keep France
 And Germany Ready
Both Countries Primed for War Says Conn State Prof
 in Columbia U. Address

war is built up on this charge. We should struggle against this lie; we in Germany should be convinced of the untruth and we should also keep coming back at our enemies with the war guilt lie so that finally they will no longer believe in our sole guilt for the war. Then only can the prospect of the possibility of shaking off the chains of Yer sailles open to tis.'
 Naturally, French schoolchil- dren have not seen such accounts to what their books say, The Germans resemble certain criminals who await a favorable opportunity to throw themselves on those whom they wish to despoil. William II felt sure of victory be- cause of the number of his soldiers and the terrible arms which his factories produced, and he tried to bring on a war Another text hook, written by q famous French historian, describes the horrors of the World War; then adds: All these terrible things happened be- cause Germany wished to become mistress of the world. Therefore she wished to destroy France. My dear little ones you VIII re- your father and mothers who have suffered so much during the five years of the war, who fin so great numbers. have fallen on the field of honor. TO the very end of your life and will think of them every day."
 In concluding, pr Lawrence said: We have found that, in almost every quarter of the world, nation- al patriotisms today are warl.ke, thanks largely to the half-truths and untruths provocationally taught in the schools. Unhappily, the countries are at the present moment dangerously overloaded by the smoldering fires of boastful and hateful school-taught patriotisms, in which love my country com monly means also I ignore, or dis trust, or despise, or even hate, other countries.' If these members shall presently burst into the flames of international war, a very large share of the blame must rest on the 'pep-talk' and 'hate-talk' his- tory teaching throughout the world which has kept the minds of and citizens in ignor- ant readiness for just that calarl- ity.

TRUCKERS HAVE AGREED ON TWO
 LEADING ISSUES
Rate of Pay and Hours of Work = But All the
 Truckers Not int

Hartford, Conn, Oct 24.--(UP)- An agreement on the rate of pay and hours of work for truck drivers employed by the 29 companies of the Eastrn Conference of Truck CTS, had been reached today but there was q renewed threat of strikes. The companies employ less than one-fourth of, the truck drivers and helpers in the state, and unless other employers agree to 'the figures set at yesterdays conference, strikes will follow, ac- cording to F. E. Crowther, union agent. Approximately 5000 men were out in thet wo-day strike last Inonth.-
 The arbitration. board, of Crow ther. pr James l.. McConaughy, of Middletown, and John w. Don- nelly, Hartford, emerged from an ail-day executive meeting last night with the agreement on rates and hours. Both sides had made concessions. The agreement is re- troactive to September 25, and is in effect for one year. Local drivers will receive 55 cents an hour and lover the road" drivers will get 72 cents and their lodg- ing expenses. Helpers will receive ~ 1-2 cents and laborers 4Dcents. The normal work week will be AS hours. The agreement permits op-' orators to hire non-union men, but Crowtffer said he was satisfied the union men would hold the balance. He said at present the truckers are o5 per cent unionized. It is on this organization he is counting if strike is called to force reeogni- ton of the new agreement.
