GERMAN
WAR GUILT
BY TOM MAHONEY

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 26.
iU.P)-The nineteenth anniversary
of the diplomatic crisis which precl-
pitated the World war found many
American historians in print with
books generating Germany.
Upon the basis of postwar rev.
elations of documents, score OF
writer's now contend the kaiSer's
government was the victim rather
than the instigator of the crisis.
Germany Not Guilty in 1914"
is the title of a work by Prof. M
H. Cochran, of the University of
Missouri. Harry Elmer Barnes, in
his three-edition Genesis of the
World War;" and Prof Sidney Fay
of Harvard in his "Origins of the
World War" also defend the fallen
empire and its leaders.
mo person in authority was
guilty of deliberately working to
bring about a general war;" writes
Professor Fay. Germany did not
plot a European war, did not wallt
one, and made genuine, though
too belated, efforts to avert one.
She was the victim of her alliance
with Austria and her own folly"
Austria Is Blamed
Fay believes Austria most re-
sponsiole, but has modified his
Judgment somewhat since Ljuba
Jovanovitch, Serbian minister Of
education in 1914, revealed the
Serbian cabinet knew of the plot
to assasinate the Austrian arch
duke three weeks before he was
killed and failed to arrest the as
sassins or warn Austria.
"The only direct and immediate
responsibility falls upon Serbia,
France and Russia, with the guilt
about equally divided" Barnes has
concluded. Next in order, far be-
low France and Russia, would come
Austria. Finally we should place
England and Germany, in the order
named, both being opposed to war
in the 1914 crisis"
Barnes contends the ambition
of French leaders such as Poircare
to regain AlSace-Lorraine, and the
desire of Russian officials like Saz-
onov and Izvolski to gain the
Straits, caused them to make a
World war of what might have been
only a Balkan matter.
"The German lack of prepara-
tion was notorious" wrote John
Kenneth Turner. "Tne crisis found
German shipping in all parts OF
the world. On July %, 1914, the
North German Lloyd steamship
Kronprinzen Cecile sailed from New
York with $1O,O00,O00 of gold
aboard. Halted by wireless in mid
ocean, she made a sensational race
to port to avoid capture by British
cruisers"

DURING JULY BY BANK OFFICIAL

increase considerably more than
is customarily expected in July.
Daily average petroleum produc-
tion advanced further during July
and the first two weeks of August,
reaching about 100000 barrels for
the first time since the spring of
1882. Lumber mill operations, Sti-
mulated by substantial untitled Or
Gers, continued to expand during
July, but declined during the first
part of August. New orers for lum-
ber fell off considerably during
July, following rapid increases in
April, May and June. Value of en-
gneering contracts awarded was
extremely small during July, but
building permits increased some
what further
Sales Increase
Daily average sales of depart
ment stores increased approximate
ly per cent in value during July,
although a moderate decline is GUS
tomary during that month. The
seasonally adjusted index of freight
carloadings also advanced Inter-
coastal traffic, however, increased
less than is usual from June to Ju-
ly, reflecting smaller eastbound pc
troleum shipments.
! Twelfth district banking funds
were reduced as result of treasury
operations and commercial transac-
tionS with other districts during
the four weeks ending August 16
Notwithstanding which total reserve
deposits of member banks increaS-
| ed. In order to obtain funNj for
| these purposes member banks bOr-
roWed additional amounts from the
| Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran
cisco. Demand for currency de-
creased in the early part of this
period, but increased slightly in the
first half of August.
| Neither net demand deposits nor
time deposits of reporting member
banks changed appreciably from
July 10 to August 16. Loans for COM
mercial purposes and on securities
expanded slightly during this per-
! iod. Bank debts to individual ac-
counts, which measure activity of
deposits, increased slightly during
! these weeks, while total deposits
did not change, thusindicating a
mi IRE rapid turnover of banking
funds.

In the twelfth federal reserve
district, in dustry and trade
continued to expand sharply during
July, and activity in practically ev-
cry important line of production
and distribution was higher than
in July 1882. Employment condi-
tions improved substantially during
the month. Aggregate wage pay
mentS also increased, and for the
first time since the autumn Of
1929, industrial payrolls in Califor-
mia exceeded those in the CORES
ponding month of the preceding
year.
HarvestS of the districts field,
grain, and fruit crops are expected
to be smaller in the aggregate this
year than in 1882. Estimate of the
output of most field and grain crops
increased from July l to August l.,
but production forecasts for several
important fruit crops declined.
Marketing prospects are more ia
vorable than year earlier. Most of
the July advance in farm products
was cancelled by declines toward
the end of that month, and at the
middle of August prices averaged
about the same as at the close OF
June.

CRASH.FATAL
To AVIATOR

BURBANK, Calf, Aug. 26. {U.Pl
"A student flight ended disas-
trously last night when Luke Minis,
35 year old instructor, was fatally
injured and Edward Stubbs, 35, stu
dent, injured, in the crash of Minis
plane at a private airport.
Minis died in a Glendale hospital
of internal injuries shortly after the
engine of the plane faltered and
the ship crashed from a height of
$50 feet. Surgeons amputated
Stubbs' leg in an effort to save his
life.
Witnesses said Minis, who was
giving StubbS lesson in night fly
ing was prevented from making a
dead stick" landing by the presence
of power transmission lines directly
under the stricken plane. In escap-
ing the wires, the pilot threw the
ship over on one side. RescuerS
were forced to saw away part of
the wreckage to liberate the stu

ALFALFA CODE
TO BE READY
AUGUST 18TH

Copies of the code drafted for
alfalfa hay producers apd dealers
will be ready for distribution abou.
August ~. This proposed code if
or when adopted will be the gov
erning factor in the hay industry
unoer the NRA.
We change our economic garments
SO to speak, about every 80 years.
Industry and agriculture are about
to appear in the new attire.
The predominating influence in
industry and agriculture for long
time past has been competitive
dealing. Supply and demand raised
and lowered prices. Laws were
passed that prohibited combina-
ton, such was said to be in re-
straint of trade.
The fashion in economics changed
suddenly and the new adminiStra-
ton will put us under controlled
industrial operation, and controlled
production in agriculture.
And so the alfalfa hay industry
will make it's bow under the new
plan. The point 10 be empf aSlZed
is this: Every one in the hay in
dustry, producer Or distributor, will
be governed by this code of fair
competition. Every hay grower
should be familiar with it. II he
does not approve of its terms lie
will have an opportunity to be
heard. Ii ne is satisfied with its
terms he should get behind it and
work for its adoption.
1t goes without saying that the
proposed code is designed to I'M
prove the industry and enable the
farmer to realize something above
the cost of production for his conf
modify.
Copies of the proposed code may
be had at the office of Imperial
Hay Growers association in the
Dunlack hotel, BraWley.

DOVE SEASON
WILL OPEN ON
SEPTEMBER

LOS ANGELES, Aug. &c. (Spe-
ciaD-While the crack of the rifle
may be heard in the deer country
of Southern California next month,
the zoom of the shotgun will be
reverberating over the plains as the
dove hunters get into action
The dove season opens Sept. l, at
noon, in all districts. 1t lasts in all
sections of the state for one month,
with the exception of districts 4,
AZ, and 43i made up of Los An
geleS, San Bernardino, San Diego,
Riverside, Orange, Imperial, Mono
and Inyo counties, where the sea-
son ends October 81.
The bag limit is Is per day, with
a limit of 30 a week. Not more
than a days bag limit may be had
at one time.
Reports to the state fish and
game commission from their field
men indicate there has been an
unusually large crop of doves this
year, and the warm weather
throughout the state is considered
ideal for these game birds.
In the san Joaquin valley, about
Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo low
lands and foothills, in San Ber-
nardino, Riverside, Orange and I'M
perial counties, as well as in some
sections of San Diego and Orange
and the lower elevations OF Inyc
and Mono counties, doves are re-
ported numerous. Large flights have
been observed in many areas, and
the experienced dove hunter is an
ticipating great sport with these
birds this season.

The bureau of internal revenue
has had its attention called to
several cases in which business con-
Germs have been solicited to pur-

tions of the bureau of internal rev.
enue specifically prohibit its em-
ployees from officially indorsing or
aiding in the promotion of any pci-

This matter is brough. to the at
teption Of the public with a view
to correcting any misunderstanding
that may have existed as tc the BILL
ieau's attitude toward such under
takings If the salesman intimates
that he is an employee or officer

very near if not actual violation
Of the federal statute which pro-
videS that whoever with intent to
defraud either the United States
