AID TO PROTECT MONEY Foreign Exchange Market Dis order Is Promised Relief by Plan to Float a Big British Loan in New York SYNDICATE OF BANKERS THE PROBABLE METHOD New York. Aug. 17.—Out of the dis order of the foreign exchange mar kets today, plans began to assume form for floating a huge British loan in New York to check the downward trend of rates and protect the money of Great Britain and her allies against further depreciation. A group of Wail street bankers with international con nections talked the matter over late today. When the meeting adjourned the situati 'n, it was said, was still in definite. It was reported, toward the end of the business day that a syndi cate of bankers might be formed to finance the loan and that the issue might consist of one. five and ten J year bonds. British Appeal This report furnished the only in dication as to how far negotiations had progressed. Its lack of definite ness reflected the general feeling that the big bankers of Wall Street had been called on by England to suggest acceptable terms of such a loan and that negotiations were in progress i owsr the cables to set the foreign ex change situation right. It was thought significant that the I talk today was of a loan whose long lest issue should expire in 10 years.

Many men and officers immediately arose and dressed, while a major portion of those present rolled over and took the count until reveille, a half-hour later. The threatening weather did not re duce the ardor of the men and the scheduled order of events for the fore noon was carried out in a very con vincing manner. The Morning Work From 7.30 to 8.30 A.

The initial appearances of raw recruits on the field, who suffer more or less •‘stage fright*’ when drilling before strange companies and Inspecting of ficers, seemed to be a minus factor as the men were put through their stunts.

Aug. 17.—The Inter state Commerce Commission's report on Rock Island Railroad financial af fairs, made public here late today, says the commission's investigation has demonstrated the need of legal limitation of railroad security issues. and has emphasised the need of a law j to fix responsibility for dissipation of I corporate funds. The report says it appeared to be the idea of those in control of the Rock Island that it was no concern of the public what became of the corpo rate fun so long as rates were rea sonable. The aggregate losses found to have been sustained by the rail road company in connection with the transactions respecting exchange on stock in connection with the St. Louis A San Francisco, Chicago Northern, Consolidated Indiana Coal Co., and Rock Island Improvement Co. and oth ers were 120.000,000.

Leo Frank Hanged Near Phagan Home by His Kidnappers

Georgian Mob Takes the Alleged Murderer of Mary Phagan Hundred Miles from Prison Farm and Carries Out Own Brutal Concep tion of Justice—Others Would Have Mutilat ed Body but Were Stopped by Former Judge's Appeal Thousands View Body at Under taking Establishment While 40 Policemen Stand Guard Marietta, Ga.. Aug. 17.—Leo M. Frank, convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan was t aken from the state prison farm i at Milledgeville, last night, by a small band of determined men, was brought to within a few miles of the Phagan home in this city at daylight today, and hanged to a tree near the Marietta- i Milledgeville highway. The body which was found at 8 o’clock this morning, dang led from the tree for several hours while a throng from the 1 surrounding countryside gathered about the scene. By a vote of the crowd, the body was cut down -without mutilation and taken by automobile to Atlant a, where another throng congre gated to view it. Start Investigation Officials of Cobb county in which the lynching occurred immediately in stituted an investigation. Coroner Booth empanelled a jury and announc ed that the county commissioners had empowered him to employ additional counsel. Two witnesses appeared be fore the jury which adjourned its ses sion for' a week while officials collect I evidence. Although the identity of no member of the band was know^ to officials to night, it was suggested that the fact that FTank was taken nearly 100 miles I 'in an automobile from the state pris on almost to the outskirts of Marietta i indicated that most of the lynchers came from this city.

J commuted to life imprisonment the sentence of death passed upon Leo M. Frank, and who is here visit- ing the Panama-Pacific Exposition. I was informed this morning that j Frank had been lynched. ‘‘The act was a consummate out- 1 rage,” said Mr. Staton, “and every man engaged in the lynching should be hanged, for he is an assassin. Such an act is contrary to the civ- j iiization of Georgia and one which every good citizen will condemn. "I believe the governor of Geor- i gia will use all the power of the state to punish the malefactors who disgraced the civilization of Georgia. j “Their act was one of cowardice which belongs alone to the assas- sin. Any man who approves of this action c<f the mob of murderers is unworthy to be a Georgian. Any man or newspaper which condones ithis offense ought to be driven out of the state.” i I

STORM-STRICKEN GALVESTON IS ISOLATED RUT FOR WIRELESS ON TRANSPORT BUFORD IN HARBOR Impossible to Get Any But Vague Reports of Loss of Life and the Great Property Damage=Boats Taking People from Buildings to Safety on Transport-Several Feet of Water in the Streets But Storm Is Believed Subsiding TRANSPORT McCLELLAN IS CARRIED HALF MILE INLAND AND LEFT THERE All Buildings on Water Front Ruined Many Vessels Swamped or Wrecked in Harbor and No Word from Scores of Villages in Path of Storm—Expect No W ire Communication for Several Days Dallas, Texas, Aug. 17. Wireless messages from Gal veston tonight gave the only direct news from that storm stricken city. No definite report of loss of life has been receiv ed, but the desperate situation in which the citizens of Gal veston found themselves was indicated vaguely by the state ment in a radiogram that boats were taking people from buildings on the main streets to the United States transport Buford. The tropical hurricane which swept down upon the island city yesterday extended its devastation inland today and to night wire communication was impossible beyond Waco, that town being absolutely cut off from the coast country. Beau mont, Houston, Tayler, Temple and other cities of southeast Texas were thought to have been hard hit by the storm. Last reports from those places telling of unroofed build ings. uprooted trees and other damages. Because of the lack of wires railroad traffic was at a standstill to the storm swept district. Although latest reports indicated that the storm was sub siding in Galveston and that the water had started to drain slowly from the streets, there was no prospect that wire com munication might be restored f or several days. The wireless equipment on board1 the army transport Buford was the sole means of communication between Galveston and the outside world to night. The McClellan, a companion ship to the Buford, was reported high and dry. half a mile inland. I The greatest damage in Galveston is believed to have occurred in dis tricts fronting the sea. All buildings on the water front were ruined, this circumstance being almost a repeti tion of the city’s experience in pre vious storms. Vessels caught in the harbor also suffered. It will be weeks, probably, before the full extent of the property dam age can be given accurately. Farms on the coastal plains undoubtedly suf fered severe damage and many vil lages in the path of the storm have not been heard from since yesterday. WIRELESS FROM ARMY TRANSPORT San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 17.—The following wireless telegram was re ceived »t the Fort Sam Houston wire less station from the army transport Buford in Galveston harbor at 6.20 o’clock this afternoon: “Water in buildings about three feet. All buildings and structures of every nature along water front are ruined. Many boats have been great ly damaged or destroyed. "The army transport McClellan is high and dry a half mile inland. The number of lives lost Is unknown. There has been great pecuniary dam age.” This message indicates the water has receded two feet in about 3 hours as a message received about 2 o’clock stated that the water stood five feet in many streets and buildings. FUNSTON REPORT OF GREAT STORM Washington, Aug. 17.—Under date of 2.80 P. M. today. Major General F'unston, from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, reported conditions at Galves ton to the war department as follows: "Buford radio reports this morning that the transport McClellan broke ioose from her moorings and drifted a half mile. She is now anchored at the dock badly damaged. The com nercial radio stations are out of com nission, the aerials all blown down. All houses on the sea wall have been destroyed. Boats are on the main streets taking people from buildings. Five feet of water at the depot. Xo loss of life reported.” J BRITISH TRANSPORT IS SUNK WITH 970 Severe Blow to English Expedition Plans when Submarine Torpedoes Troop Vessel, Royal Edward in Aegean Sea—Gen. Litsmann Cap tures Russian Forts on Kovno Front London, Aug. 17.—10.15 P. M.—Thej sinking In the Aegean sea by a Ger- naan submarine of the British trans- j port Royal Edward with heavy loss of life has shattered the proud tradi tion of the British navy of having transported hundreds of thousands of men across the seas without the de struction of one troop-laden ship. Six hundred men were saved out of 1350 troops and 220 other persons on board the transport. On two pre vious occasions, transports have been attacked. The Wayfarer was torpe doed by a submarine In the Irish sea. but the vessel was not sunk and only five lives were lost. The Manitour was attacked by a Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegean sea and although the ship was not damaged 54 lives were lost through the breaking of a davit as a boat was being lowered. Serious Loss The loss of the Royal Edward la a serious one at this moment. The men it carried were not part of a new ex pedition, but were reinforcements for the 29th division which has been on the Gallipoli peninsula since the first landing and which received such high praise from Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton in his report on the initial and subse quent operations. The news came as a shock to the British public, who be lieved the submarine menace in the Aegean had been dealt with success fully. This is the first occasion since the sinking of the battleship Majestic on May 27 that the German subma rines which made the long trip to the Dardanelles have scored a success. The Royal Edward’s destruction 13 not likely to delay operations recent ly undertaken for, with the Russian retirement in the East and the con tinuance of the Balkan negotiations, the necessity for achieving something definite in the assault upon the Dar danelles is growing greater. German Successes The Russians' retreat from Poland con tinues and it is believed probable they will have to fall back further than the Brest-Litovsk line, as Berlin reports to day that Gen. Litsmann has stormed and taken the forts on the southwest front of Kovno, capturing 4300 prisoners and 240 guns. This probably means the early fall of the fortress itself. Another fort on the northeast front of Novogeorgievsk alto has rallen and the circle is being closed around the fort ress. Other armies from the west and south are advancing toward the Brest Litovsk line. In the Balkans There haa been continued activity among the diplomats in the Balkan cap itals and among the Balkan representa tives in other capitals. The Serbian min ister, who has been a rrequent visitor at the foreign office, saw Sir Edward Grey again today, while another caller was the Rumanian minister. There have been no (Continued on Pago 10—Column CARRANZA TO SUGGEST THE RECOGNITION OF HIS PARTY Impressed by Friendly Tone of Pan-Ameri can Note but Will Re ject Proposals Washington, Aug. 17.—General Car ranza within a few days will reply to the Pan-American appeal to Mexico, It was learned tonight. He will reject the peace conference proposal urged by Secretary Lansing and Latin American diplomats, and it is reported will suggest that the conference use their influence to obtain recognition for his government from their respec tive republics. Courteous Reply According to his friend here. Car ranza appreciated the friendly tone of the Pan-American appeal. He has con sulted his civil and military associates regarding it and has communicated with Elizo Arredondo, his Washington representative. As a result of these conferences, it is declared the general has determined to make a courteous reply giving in detail his reasons for rejecting the conference plan and ad vancing arguments in an effort to con vince the conferees that recognition of the Carranza government is war ranted apd necessary for the re-es tablishment of peace in Mexico. That some of the Latin-American dilpomats already have been appraised of Carranza's probable course has been reported here.

The Danger of Imitations. AN OHIO druggist writes to “The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New York Drug Journal, as follows: “Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer.” To this “The Practical Druggist” replies: “We do not supply formulas for proprietary articles. We couldn’t if we wanted to. Your experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to he expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.” No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa ture of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria. Contents 15 Raid Drafita 1 JL- iU -3. n >nr:OHQL~ 3PER CENT AT^dabkfttpaiationttA5;| tin^tbe Stomachs I NF.4VTS Oil CDBg!

Cafferty, of Providence, R. I., savs: “If all young mothers would use Castoria it will bring up their child. My nurse ana doctor can also tell what your Castoria can ao.” Howard A. Barks, of Hickory, N. C., says: “Your Castoria is the only physic we ever give our three babies. The fact that we use it promptly is probably the reason we never have to use any other.” Mrs. A. J. Nelson, of Waco, Texas, says: “Enclosed von will find a picture of ‘Our little Castoria boy.’ When a week old I ordered your Castoria for him, and I have never been up a night with him since.” Mrs. Eva Ott Melin, of Jersey City, N.

To Hove Boys' Camp Another announcement of interest Saturday was to the effect that there will be a boys’ camp, to t»e known as Camp Jordan, at Lake Chemo, from Aug. 28 to Sept. 11, just before school opens, which will give them fine out door experience that will put them in great shape for school.

SIDNEY The Cowan Family Reunion. An informal reunion of the descendants of Marcellus Newton Cowan was held at the old homestead on the Pond road, Sid ney, Maine, Thursday, Aug. 12. It Is seldom that so many of this fam ily are in Sidney at the same time. Real izing this, Mr. and Mrs. Manson W. Cowan who live upon the home place sent out a hurried invitation which brought all together. It was an ideal day. The tables were spread in the shade of the locust trees in the field to the east of the road, and at 2 P. M. 56 people sat down around the family i board. Rev. Geo. Edward Manter, pastor of the First Baptist church, Hilton, N. V., called the attention of those assem bled to the fact that six out of the eight children still living were present, and ex pressed regret that the remaining two, Ida S. Cowan, Jamaica Plain, Mass., and Mrs. Grace Cowan Hersum, Kendal Sreen, Mass., were not able to be pres ent. Continuing, he said that he con sidered it almost remarkable that the Ive oldest on account of advancing age ihould all be present. At the close of his ■emarks Mr. Manter offered thanks to Almighty God for His great kindness and nvoked His'blessing upon all. The dinner forms no smatl part of any rood time, and this with its traditional :howder, ice cream, and other good hings was well up to the standard set 'or the old farm. It was a happy occa tion. Although rural delivery, the dally )»per, the telephone, the cottages at the >ond, and new buildings in place of the •Id which were destroyed by fire, remind 'd one of many changes since the days •f Marcellus Cowan,'stilt it was the ‘Old Farm” and it was little changed. Following the dinner the young men nd boys tried their hand at baseball, rhile the rest looked on or wandered at rill about the place. Twenty children inder 12 years of age made a pretty tght at their play. Most attention, how ver, was given to the five babies of one oar or younger. Reluctantly at the close of this delight- j ul afternoon with ties renewed and i strengthened, the family separated.

Anthony amend ment, and to invite Mr. Peters to ad dress the approaching Maine State con vention of the Congressional Union, which will be held in Portland, Maine, on September 2, 1915. The company was most courteous ly received by Mr. Peters at his law office in Ellsworth, the county seat of Hancock county. In reply to the invitation Mr. Peters stated that, while he could not definitely promise to address the convention because of the illness of his law partner and the burden of work thus devolving on him, he is in favor of suffrage and had voted for the amendment in the House, and will vote for it at the approaching ses sion of Congress. Mr. Peters said that, while a member of the Maine Legisla ture, he had not voted for suffrage be cause, in his opinion, there were not enough women who expressed a desire for it; but that the growth of the move ment had led him to vote for it at the last session of Congress. Before the visit to Mr. Peters, at an In formal luncheon at the Hancock Houst in Ellsworth, the members of tbe deputa tion compared the experiences of suffra gists in their respective states. In New York, when theTeferendum vote is taken in November, it will be fiT years since Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton—the cen tennial anniversary of whose birth will be celebrated in the present month first proposeil "Votes for Women" at the famous meeting at Seneca Falls, N. Y. in ISIS. In Massachusetts, it is more than a half century since the agitation for suffrage was begun, which is so closely associated with the name of Lucy Stone, whose 97th birthday was celebrated by Suffraglsts in many states on Aug. 14th, the day of the Maine deputation. And in j Tennessee, a relative newcomer among these ancient movements, the work for suffrage already dates back more than a generation. This Intolerable slowness of the "State by State" method empha-: i sizes the need for Congressional action at the coming session. It is the hope of the Congressional L'nicn that, after after the Portland con vent ion, there may be in every Congres sional District a nucleus of people who i will give the Maine delegation all possi ble backing by letters, telegrams, reso lutions and personal visits In Washing ton, when the amendment is up for ac tion in Congress. ABOUT TO RAISE SUBMARINE F-4 The following from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin of Aug. 4 will be of in terest to many who have been watch ing for reports of the condition and progress of the work on the sunken submarine F-4 in the harbor of Hono lulu: “Jack Agraz dropped down to the harbor floor this morning and made examination of the sunken submarine F-4. He found tbe boat in the same position as at the last inspection with no appreciable drifting of sand. How ever, the big canvas mats used to cover the gapping hole in the subma rine’s bow are somewhat torn. The lines are still in place, but the action of the w’ater has cut up the covering itself. “According to Capt. Crittenden, commanding the submarine division, there will be no repair work attempt ed, as the cruiser Maryland, with gear for raising the sunken boat, is expect ed inside of 10 days. "The submarines are all to be dry docked prior to the annual engineering competition runs. The F-2 went on the dock last Monday morning. It will take about 10 days to thoroughly overhaul each of the boats.” PITTSTON EAST G. B. Labarree returned Wednesday from Boston, wrhere he had been to attend the Traveling Men’s con vention.

Night Of ficer Cusick wended his way hither and discovered two young men, strangers in the city, who were not very lucid in their explanations as to their presence thereabouts. He es corted them to the station and on searching them found upon their per sons seven razors, a fountain pen and 168 copper cents. This combination appeared to the seasoned arm of the law as a trifle suspicious, inasmuch as the appearance of his guests indicated that they seldom used a razor, certain ly had no use for a fountain pen and with the present dry state of the city, but little use for the coin of the realm. Sherlock locked his men up and awaited developments, which came in the early morning in the form of a telephone call from Alfred B. Cross man. a storekeeper at South Gardiner, stating that his store had been entered during the night. Crossmar, was told to come to Gardiner and see if he BASEBALL MEETING TUESDAY EVENING A Ftranger In the city was a witness of last Wednesday s ball game between Gardiner and Augusta. He came from the Hub" and knows baseball from X to lizard. This was his remark after the game: "That's baseball that is baseball. You fellows ought to be proud of that tight little bunch, for they can piny some ball. It was as interesting a game as 1 have ever witnessed outside of the major leagues." Ho spoke the truth, for the boys are sure playing some ball. True, there is an occasional exhibition of some raw pin y, but if they didn't make such they would belong higher up. j Getting down to brass tacks, the team needs all the assistance they can get, for it takes money to keep a ball team in the relri and the weather this season has been of such a nature that the attend ante, though all that might be expected under the conditions, has been rather of a negative quality at some of the games. A meeting was held at the Central Maine Power Co s. office Tuesday evening i tnd the evening was given over to a dis j cussion of ways and means. As a result of this meeting you will probably be ap proached for a little financial aid, and if you are, be a ssured that your aid will he appreciated.

The two men who gave the names of Arthur Wil son and Edward Sulli van, residents of Portland, claimed to be making a pilgrimage from Bangor to the home of their youth and just before reaching Gardiner came across two men who were asleep by the side of the railroad track. Searching their pockets they found the razors and fearing that they might injure them selves, relieved the sleepers of the cut terv. The pen and pennies were prob ably taken accidentally before the men awoke. In spite of the fact that this story was so extremely plausible, and in spite of the appearance of the men.

SKOWHEGAN Mrs. Pierre Boardman One of Somerset County’s Interest ing Personages—A Theft Many Locals PERSONALS AND COUNTY NEWS JOTTINGS Though the margin between life and death was very small in the infancy of Mrs. Pierre Boardman of East Ma rie street, she is now at the age of about 60 years the great grandmother of two children, one of them eight years old. When Mrs. Boardman was about three months old there was a great freshet on the old Kennebec and their little home on the bank was in great danger. So Mrs. Boardman’s uncle helped her mother to get out the furniture on the main floor and the four older children. Mrs. Boardman, then little Mary Dumont, was left in her cradle until the last. The danger was imminent so tubs, wringer and other household implements were left in the cellar and little Mary was hur riedly picked up. Just as uncle got his feet on the steps a tremendous cracking noise was heard and the house slid down the river, along with several others from Norridgewock and farther up stream. Her mother, Mrs. Nathalie Dumont, who died but a few j years ago, at the age of SS, was al- ways a hard worker as the father, Michael Dumont, was away almost all the time working for the Coburns on the river and in the woods. Little Mary grew up rugged, however, and at the age of 18 was married to Au^ gustus Boullette. To them were born 11 children, seven of whom are living. Her second husband was Rierre Boardman and to them one son was born. When asked why she married again, she replied she needed someone to help her bring up her seven chil dren and to prove her good judgment said Mr. Boardman had never said a crass word to them. Mrs. Boardman s children are; Mrs. Henry Vallier, Mrs. Edward Crotteau. Mike Boullette. El mer Boullette. Thomas and Nathan Boullette. Mrs. Amelia Provost, and Earl Boardman. Mrs. Boardman has 3." grandchildren and two great grand children. these being children of Mr. and Mrs. CHin Vallier.

Augusta. Malna Wednesday, August 18, 1915. A man without a smiling face should not open a shop.—Chinese. Georgia's Undying 8hame! Innocent or guilty of the crime of which he was charged, Leo Frank’s murderers have shown the quality of those that hated him and fought for his conviction and execution. It is hoped that in no other state of the Union could such a deed as that of Monday night have been possible. Let us hope, also, that In no other state could hatred have been carried so far as to intimidate the court and threaten the life of the governor. Like the murder In 1914, which has caused the death of millions In Eu rope, the crime of which Leo Frank was accused, caused a bitterness and stirring up of the passions of the ignorant and irresponsible that would have slaughtered the governor and others who stood in the way of mob cowards. The men who murdered Leo Frank, Monday night, were of that brand of cowards who would poison the well of a neighbor out of spite. Such; cow ards have neither respect for the laws of man nor God; they know little and thus fear nothing that does not Im mediately threaten their personal be-. Ing., It is hoped every man of them will be f. captured and n’ punished. Georgia owes that to her sister states, even If she has not the ability or de sire to protect her helpless prisoners from^cutthroats and garroters. Senator Lodge'* Forceful Utterance. vThere Is In all thei United States ;bnt one living man as an authority {upon International relations, who (shares the respect and confidence of !the American public *with Senator 'Henry Cabot*Lodge, and that man Is Elihu Root. Hodge and Root are •properly regarded as the two best In formed public men of this generation; ,in all that relates to our dealings with foreign government and the nice ques-, tions of international law. Up to Saturday night both., had maintained silence upon thefgreat,- questions in this field which have arisen" during the past few months.^ On Saturday night. Senator Lodge‘broke this sil ence—and to good purpose^Manches ter Union. Senator Lodge states in language which we did not command in ex pressing our disappointment because of "watchful waiting" and "ceaseless talking," that while thousands j of Americans have lost their lives in Mexico and as a result of the Euro pean war, we have done nothing but talk. In his own words; "It is all talk; let’s do something or stop talking. Nothing is worse than, perpetual talk with nothing done, 1 condemn our attitude of not going in or staying out. I don’t want to pre cipitate the country into war, but I don’t want to stand by and witch the killing of Americans, the outrage of women and the destroying of Ameri can property. Over 2000 Americans have been killed and we do nothing about it but talk. "I have a notion—old-fashioned per haps it may be—that the American citizens, whether at hmne or abroad, are entitled to the protection of their government, if they observe the law. The American citizen must be ready to give his life for his government if necessary and the duty of the govern ment is reciprocal; the government must protect the citizen, or he won’t protect the government. He is en titled to the protection of the govern ment, yes, by land and by sea, and that brings me to a consideration of the European war. "This war has‘weighed on the mind of every- thinking man. It is fortunate that, we are not.involved. The Ameri can flag should protect every Ameri can citizen, whether he was natural ized -yesterday or whether his ances tors came to this country 300 years ago. There are two things necessary to maintain peace, and the American people want no peace that carries humiliation, shame and dishonor. We want to keep the peace, Drat, by preservation of neutrality. "Neutrality has its rights and its duties. Our rights as neutrals must be preserved. Our great opportuni ties as the leading neutral nation were lost when the war began. Think of McKinley and Hay, of Roosevelt and Root, and the position they maintained for this country of ours. We no lon ger hold that place. I believe that had men like these been in power the Lusitania incident would never have occurred. We would not alone have stood as the great neutral nation but (would have rallied all others to ua We should have stood with calmness, firmness and quiet determination, which are the great guarantors of peace. We have lost that opportunity. There is a question of right on both sides, but infractions of our rights must not pass unchallenged. "We also have our duties. Our one great duty is to be neutral, not to per mit action favorable to one belligerent as against another. If we try to re dress conditions created by the war, we help that belligerent whom these conditions affect. We must keep our hands off and maintain our rights. tWhen the President takes the right ground in dealing with these questions the shall have my support. When he falls, I shall criticize him." In these piping times, is the gover nor of Texas coming to Bosting? It’s an odd citizen that. has not iSome army plfcn these days. The 8hip Purchase Bill. From the highlands of New Hamp shire and from the lowlands of Mis sissippi, from Secretary McAdoo and from John Sharp Williams, comes in formation that the shlp-purchate bill is to be presented to the next Con gress as an Administration measure and that an earnest fight will be made to pass it. We can assure Messrs. McAdoo and Williams that an equally earnest fight will be made to defeat the bill. The opponents of the measure now know that they have the country behind them. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, composed of the representative commercial organiza tions throughout the country, put this and a number of related questions to a referendum vote of its membership. Of 7S9 organizations of business me* voting on the ownership and operation of ships by the government, 698 op posed it and only 82 favored it. These are not political bodies. They are local bodies. They are local clubs, leagues and exchanges, formed for th« sole purpose of promoting business in their respective cities or territories. They represent every section of the United States, North. South, East, West and Central, and their opinion, expressed with practioal unanimity, is the opinion of the business efement of the country, the element that is most profoundly concerned in the restora tion of the American merchant ma- rine. They point the way to the true j solution of the problem in their vote on the question of government sub ventions to encourage the develop ment of the shipping Industry by private enterprise, their vote on this Hieing 7H for subventions to 54 against. On the question of subsidies to the same end they stand 558 for and 186 against. The dogged persistency of the ad ministration, in the face; of this evi dence of the country's opinion and desire, 1b not encouraging to those hopeful souls who are looking for legislation for the national defence or for the relief of the depleted treasury. If the Democrats remain wedded to their idols of purchased ships, what reason Is there for expecting them to reverse themselves on these other im portant questions? The country has no more lmpr^slvely declared in favor of military preparedness than it has in opposition to government owned shipping. ■i TheTBureau of Hallway Economics seports that 622,284 persons, Arms or institutions own railroad stocks hav ing a par -value of jpore than five tail Horn, dollars, ..These holders of securi ties in one of the fundamental enter prises in American activity will have hard' work to convince themselves of the "prosperity” of the country. Their share in it consists of diminished or vanished dividends and of reduced values for their stocks. Shares in "war order” concerns are booming, to be sure. But the real test of good times In this country is to be found in railroad earnings and in railroad values. Our Consul at Yokohama, answer ing inquiries from home respecting the prosQgct of additional Japanese steamship service, in view of the abandonrqpnt of the Pacific by Ameri can liners, reports that, while the shipbuilding industry is booming, the Japanese Government will not grant subsidies to the new ships. There is, indeed, no apparent reason why sub sidies should be granted any longer, considering the unexampled success of Democratic legislation in freeing the Japanese shipowner from American competition.

The Eastport banks are putting one over on the Canadian banks wnere a dis count of 1 per cent has been demanded for all foreign money deposited, for in this frontier city where many thousands dollars in Dominion currency are handled every day the discount has been cut to 1-2 per cent. It Is stated that there is always In general circulation in Eastport from $25,000 to $40,000 in Canadian money and none of the business men ask for any discount, in fact are eager for all the Dominion currency that comes their way and are willing to tane in trade the money at its face value and later de posits it at the bank at its small dis count which is a necessary precaution for the Eastport banks for the inconven ience which the Canadian banks put them to later in redeeming their own money. Mrs. Arthur G. Oliver. Union street, Batb, is congratulating herself that she taught her son Warren how to swim last summer, for Sunday at Sabino he fell overboard from a boat with all his clothes on and had to swim ashore. The sudden plunge did not frighten him and he made no out cry. The flsst his mother knew of his plight was when he walked into the cottage soaked to the skin. Mrs. Oliver and her sisters, Mrs. Eugene McGrath, Misses Alice and Marion Dain are fine swimmers and last summer Mrs. Oliver taught her son and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Amlin Russell of Wil ton passed through here going and coming from a week-end fishing trip and attracted much attention by the ingenious way a Rangeley boat was attached to the top of their auo, says the Farmington Journal. The boat was inverted and rested in a rack over the passengers’ heads, serving as a top and requiring about the usual clearance space. Autos are bringing the ponds and streams nearer the fishermen and Mr. Russell's outfit ■widens the possibilities of trips in the open. Many strange creatures are carried through Portland by the railroad ex press companies during the course of a year, but no stranger collection has attracted the attention of the public than that of the other day—a hundred or more live frogs. They were con tained in a large box partly filled with leaves and damp moss and covered with wire netting. They were all of "a size, about two inches in length. The tag on the box gave the information that they were being shipped to Center Lovell by E. A. Bean of Belgrade. In quiry disclosed that Mr. Bean carries Positive Relief1 from the suffering caused by dis> ordered conditions of the organa of digestion and elimination— from indigestion and biliousness— always secured by the safe, certain and gentle action of Beecham’s Pills Said wj nhi». In hnn_ 1"~ ,lu on an extensive business of raising frogs for pickerel bait and during the summer season ships thousands to pond and lake resorts where summer visitors do considerable fishing. Em ployes at Union station say that grasshoppers are also shipped to vari ous points to be used f°r fishing, and that there is a man in Springfield, Mass., who ships helgobites, a 12 legged form, for bass bait. Many of these strange shipments pass through Portland every summer, according to those employed about the station. The Bangor Commercial tells the following story: An old American Ex press employee declares that the queerest article he ever handled by express was a railroad car. He went on to explain that it happened back in the days of Payson Tucker and that it came about through some row be tween Mr. Tucker and the head of the Baltimore Ohio. The car was sent to Mount Desert Ferry with the rail road man’s family in it and it was the intention to store the car there all summer, the servants who belonged to it having been taken to serve in the summer cottage. Mr. Tucker raised some kind of objections to having the car stay there all summer and after quite a scrap back and forth, the B. O. man shipped his car back home by express. The doors were securely locked and sealed with express seals and the car was billed through to Baltimore probably to be given a special rate, a little less than it would have cost going by the pound. For the first time in the history of lumbering on the Penobscot river, says the Bangor Commercial, there was no west branch drive into the Argyle boom this year. The only drive on the main river ended its journey at the Millinocket boom, as every stick contained therein belong ed to the Great Northern Paper Co. Only one operator, outside of those who cut for the corporation, ran his logs in with the corporation drive and he sold his logs to the company, so that there were no logs for the mills at this part of the river. This is a sit uation that has been prophesied for years by men who watch the decreas ing cutting by independent operators on Fenobscot waters, but this is the first season that the condition foretold has actually come to pass and that no saw logs were driven from west branch waters to the mills of the Pe nobscot valley. An event unparalleled In the history of the Dominican Fathers of this city, says the Lewiston Sun, will take place at St. Peter s church next Sunday morning, when three women, sisters, will celebrate their silver wedding anniversa ries, and their parents will celebrate their golden wedding. The celebration will be held at 9.30 o'clock. The sisters are Mrs. Eugene Turgeon, Mrs. Joseph 1’ouliot and Mrs. Jean Paradis, and their parents are Mr. and Mrs. .losepYi Lalih erte. Among the descendants are 22 grandchildren and a grandchild of Mr. Turgeon who represents the fourth gen eration. Another, remarkante fact is that all the gentlemen and their wives were baptized at the same church. St. An selme, with the exception of Mrs. Pa radis, who was baptized at St. Isidore, a neighboring parish. Editor’s Letter Box Making a Fortune. Editor Kennebec Journal: For the benefit of the coming gen eration I would like to tell my ex perience as a plutocrat, through the medium of your valuable paper. How I made my start. I had been married about 10 years, when I picked up a card of an insurance company. It told of the amount a man could save if he laid up the amount he spent for tobacco till he was 50 years old. It set me to thinking. A short time after that I was talking with the old man I rent my house of. He told m* he began working for $1.25 a day. He then owned 11 rent houses, besides the one he lived in. Of course, wife and I had to be prudent. Well, I thought it over and one night after wife had washed the supper dishes, she said to me: "What makes you so silent? What are you thinking of?” Then I told her of the talk of the old man and the tobacco saving. “What I have been thinking is, it is about time we began to save some thing.” I mentioned leaving off tea, tobacco and some little things. Wife said I might leave off tobacco but "I have to have her tea, or I have the headache. As for that old man he would have to work faster for some one else than he did on fixing up our house or he would not earn that.” "Well, we talked it over and I told her my scheme. I would make a box, all tight, only a slit to put in our money. I would leave off smoking all but once a day. Then when I was not working in the mill, I would work extra doing chores for anyone who wanted me to work. Wife said she would help, save what she could from our household expenses and work for the neighbors. Then I started to make the box. At first I thought an old soap box that held about a bushel would do. Wife dissuaded me from this. She said it was too big. Final ly I settled on one I made myself, about a foot square. We began saving on my birthday. I never shall forget how good it sounded, the first nickle I dropped in the box. Wife and I worked hard all that year doing everything. We had good luck in a way. To be sure, we had a few pullbacks. I got cold cleaning out a cellar and had a doctor a few times. Wife was sick once. We had one child, a boy. He was sick quite a lot. Everything seemed to go up in price. Well, It came my birthday once core. The year seemed to go awful fast. That night I got out the box. Before I opened it wife wanted to guess how much we had saved. She saia, "I can come the nearest.” “How much will you guess?” I said. “You say,” said wife. “Well,” for a rough guess, I say about $100.” Wife said, “I will set it $110.” Then I broke it open, turned it out on the table. Wife and I had spent long winter evenings discussing how to invest our savings. I favored the j Loan and Building Association. Wif«- i thought bonds waa the safest. Final- 1 ly we compromised by agreeing to puy It In the savings bank. I wrote on the box: “Why be delving in the ditch, save your money and be rich. First a cent and then a dime, you’ll have plenty of wealth in time, Every dollar that you save eases your journey to the grave. Well, as I said, I counted the money. There was $4.SO. Wife looked disap pointed. She said she thought there was more. I said: “That, is not so bad. We have paid our/bills.” I went down the next/day and put it in the Savings Bank. How good I felt to see my name in the savings book. I took it out and looked at it much as ten times going home. At last I was to join the rank^,.'of the wealthy. That night after r had eaten my supper, I picked up/the paper— that is one thing we did not feel like getting along without. The first thing I saw where a bank cashier was held up in Montreal by a masked robber who made him give up 15000. There was another where the cashier run off with the bank's funds. That set me to thinking. After we went to bed wife said: “What makes you so rest less?’' x said, "I am thinking about my money. Do you suppose the bank is safe?’’ “Oh,” she said, “go to sleep.” “No, I am a good mind to,load that old army musket and go sit on the bank steps.” She said,. ''Folks will think you crazy.” 1 told wife, “I pity Rockefeller. If $4.8(l< worries me what must he suffer?” The first streak of day I got up and dressed and went down to the bank. I never knew they didn’t open till 9 o'clock. As soon as they opened I got my money. I bought a hat and a pair of shoes. That is the first and the last night’s sleep I ever lost over wealth. G. C.

A saving of Caesar -was only two-thirds true: They tame, they saw. but they did not conquer, as they conquered when Skowhegan went to Au gusta. To be sure, they had “Squanto" ■Wilson with them and Harvey pitched a “good enough" brand of hall to win the majority of games, as far as the hits were concerned, hut he was too liberal with his passes to first and his deadly accuracy in hitting batters that Skow began reached first seven times outside her four hits and the other gifts on Au gusta’s errors. Augusta at times showed real baseball knowledge, but at other times gave an exhibition that was not very creditable. The loss of the game does not rest wholly on Harvey’s shoulders but should be distributed on the shoulders of those live who made the errors of commission, but if there was a place in the score book for errors of omission there could be more Augusta names added.

Receipts of livestock were heavy and the market as a whole was inclin ed to weakness, as buyers, while will ing to take stock, were not willing to pay what the drovers demanded. Some choice cattle were received, and sold quite well, but for the ordinary grades the market was dull. A few fancy cat tle sold up to Sc, but what would pass for the best brought Si&Slsc. with ordi nary steers and' oxen 7V*(§8c. The best heavy cows sold at 6V*©6%c, with fair to good 3V4©6V«c; poor to ordinary 4(cr 514c; and bolognas and canners 3L& 4V,c. Bulls were in quite good supply at 4t-(g63»c. The demand for veal calves was good and prices were well sustained, some of the best veals bringing higher figures. Receipts were large, but the demand was sufficient to absorb all the good animals. Prices for good average teals ranged from 7%@9c; with fancy veals 9*2 ©10 He; and some extras higher. Small calves sold at JSg'ID each, and coarse veals at J@7tjc. Hogs were unchanged, selling at 7© l^c, liveweight. and SVs©^1^, dressed On live hogs only a few sold highet than about 7.65. offerings were about normal. Sheep and lambs were in much larg er supply, and ||ie market showed a slightly weaker tone, but without quot able change in prices. There is prac i lically no market for these at the yards, almost all of the receipts com ing directly to the slaughter houses Nominally sheep are 4@7c; and lambs 7© 9c. Live poultry was weaker, with fowl 14©15c; hroilers 16©17c, and roosters 31 @llc. There is nothing to indicate that the barns will be re-opened in the near fu ture for business in milch cows, but j dealers are shipping cows to various I parts of the state, and a considerable business is being done in this way. Prices are high, but naturally cannot be quoted, as they depend wholly upon local and individual factors. Several hundred "Western cattle were received at the yards for export, and more will cotjte during the next few weeks. This tends to hold up prices in the West, and therefore here. SALES AT THE YARDS. Beef cattle—W. H. Neal sold 5 steers at 8c; 2 steers at 6Vjc; 3 cows at 6c; and 3 cows at 4c. Otis H. Forbush sold 1 cow at 6&iC; 1 cow at 6\c; 2 heifers at o’kc, and $1 off; S bulls at 5@5%c; 3 cow at 5c, and |l on; 3 cow at 4c and II on; 4 bologna cows at 3$sc and 1 at i 3Vic. Veal calves—Otis H. Forbush sold 3 extra fancy veal calf at 12c; 3 fancy j veal at lOVzC; 4 at 10c; 1 calf at 9\c; 4 at 9c; and 2 at 8c. W. H. Neal sold 3 veal calves at 9c. HORSE MARKET Boston, Aug. 17. The hrose market was unusually dull during the week even for this "eason when the horse trade has been about the poorest that Boston dealers have had to contend with in many years. Supplies were moderately large, specially in second-hand horses which were entered in big lots. The market was generally lower, but dealers trie#1 hard to hold Western green horses up backward that In moat cases the horses were aacrlficed in order to make sales, and shippers of this class claim that they lost money on this week’s consignments. In seconds, the big sup ply, with the same poor demand made good values out of the question, one Boston dealer saying that these horses sold at his stable 20 per cent, below prices of two weeks ago. In th# sec ond class offerings there was a wide range in quality. Some of the horses entered were in good condition and of sufficient weight to be good bargains at the figures paid; on the lower grades of this type bids were scarce and prices lwo. One great factor to1 be considered in the horse trade at the present time is the higher cost of! feed; with hay and grain higher, buy ers are not buying one horse extra beyond actual needs and buyers from the country dealers are very moderate accordingly in their purchases. The best drafters this week sold from 1300 $350; medium weight grst class drafters, which were in' good supply with the quality above the i average, sold from $200@$300; heavy wagon and express horses from $160® 225; seconds from $50® 125, excepting when the animal was extra good qual ity. At the City Sale Stables—X C. i Keith, Stevens Sweet Horse Co. offered four express carloads of green horses, including some excellent draft horses. There was also 100 head of seconds, and 40 cavalry horses on sale. Buyers were not anxious or hrisk in their bidding even on the best horses, and prices were cut to insure a good i clearance, at a sacrifice of shippers ln terests. seconds sold no better and on these too prices were cut. William Hurwitz offered two express I carloads of green horses and 85 sec i onds. Sales were slow with values low i er than a week ago on nearly all sales. During the week it was expected that both the Cambrian and the De vonian would carry remounts for the Allies, but both steamers sailed with out the horses being included in the cargoes. Various reasons w'ere given out. The floods held back the first shipment too long to have the steamer i held for and was probably the rea son for the non-appearance of the second lot. There were some rumors that shipments of horses were to be curtailed for the present, but this does not seem hardly probable, with the large orders ahead, there being frojn 5000 <5 10.000 horses held at Montreal for the British government. MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET _ Features of the Day’s Dealings in All the Leading Stocks New York, Aug-. 17.—In its main characteristics today's market asrain traversed familiar ground. There was further unrestrained training in war shares, including several issues in i which public interest or support had heretofore been utterly lacking, more .or less neglect of the standard rail ways and recurrent weakness in for eign exchange. This latter condition w-as partially rectified towards the end i of the session receipt of 14.600,000 Japanese gold from Canada and a semi-official statement indicating the icoming flotation of a British loan here infusing some strength into the gen eral financial situation. Trading in the first two hours was on the basis of almost 1,500,000 shares for the day, but slackened visibly la* ter. As usual, war specialties, together with United States Steel which sold up to 77tj, its highest quotation since 101", contributed more than their quota to the grand total which aggre gated 1,070.000 shares. The only stocks to ascend to new records were Westinghouse 1204* and Maxwell Motors First Preferred at 92. Studehaker repeated .yesterday’s .record price of 120. but soon forfeited its advance and Bethlehem Steel is sues denoted selling pressure. Other stocks in the group comprising minor equipments, industrials and motors gained 2 to 8 points few of which were j retained at the close. There were signs in the course of the day that conservative Wall Street is taking less interest In the move ment of the war contract issues, es pecially those whose continued ad vance is made possible mainly from the small amounts of stock available for speculative purposes. It is note worthy, also, that financial institutions are exercising greater caution in their acceptance of these stocks as loan col lateral. Foreign selling was again a factor, London’s lower level for the American list being followed by further offer ings here, chiefly of trams-continental and grangers. Various issues included in the former Gould group were heavy on the .Missouri Pacific receivership, which was without influence else where. j The early weakness In exchange caused a revival of “future" or for j eign selling of bonds on a fairly lib 1 eral sale. Total sales, (par value). amounted to $3,950,000. United States I 3's declined M per cent, on call. New York Money Market New Tork, Aug. 17. Mercantile paper S*fo3i per cent.

Mr. Roy, sr., who re-ides in Waterville, is years of age hut the years have not told upon him. i:r is in period health, walks out-of-doors every day and has scarcely a gray hair on. his head.

Wood, for 45 years suc cessful in the mill business and for 32 years overseer of the weave-room in the Avon Mill, Lewiston, resigned Saturday, and plans to take a long rest. Later he may return to business but not likely in the mill. That his service has been appreciated and that he has made warm friends among those employed at the Avon is demon strated by the fact that the loom-fix ers. the weavers and the office force took pleasure in presentfng to him fine gifts as an expression of their good will. The loom-fixers gave him a fine meerschaum pipe and box of cigacs, the weavers a solid gold chain and Knights Templar charm and the office force a diamond Shriner’s but ton. These gifts and the thooight which prompted them were keenly ap preciated by Mr. Wood. Rev. Frank W. Smith officiated Monday at the funeral of Capt.

This constitutes its entire tangible prop erty. It estimates the cost of building a concrete reservoir and dam at one thousand dollars and the cost of ne cessary pipe lines at five thousand dollars. It will be a gravity system. Engineer’s Investigation. The Commission’s engineer has made a careful study of the situation on the ground, and reports that the reservoir contemplated would hold about 52.500 cubic feet of water, fed by a small brook which collects the natural run-off1 from Walnut Hill, which is covered with trees and vege tation and should be free from con tamination. He estimates the flow at from one to three gallons per second depending on the rainfall, and the time required to fill the reservoir at 2*4 gallons per second at about forty, eight hours. The engineer estimates the cost of con structing the plant sufficient for all of the purposes indicated by the petitioner and including the price paid by it for the reservoir site at $5,906.00, which does not differ materially from petitioner's esti mate. His investigation and report sub stantially corroborate the petitioner's representations to the Commission as to market for its product and probable reve nue therefrom. A Novel Question Arises. It remains, therefore, only for the Commission to determine the amount or bonds which should be authorized ana the conditions tinder which they may b issued. While the amount involved in this matter is small, the case presents a novel question, which is likely to recur and on which the policy of the Commis sion may as we.l now be made clear. Tlie company's balance si'.ett is as fol lows ASSETS. Franchise. Chap 56, Laws of 1909, $3,000-0) l;eal Estate, free of incumbrances, 5t0.0) Pipe, suitable for laying water main, couplings and elbows, 300.00 LIABILITIES. Capital stock, outstanding, $3,000.00 Surplus, 800.0) I3.800.o0 The facts already stated shot# that there has been withdrawn from the cor poration all of the cash that ever was paid in as capital; that the corporation parted with all of its tangible assets ex cept real estate which cost 1100 and pipe, etc., whose value is not claimed-.to ex ceed $300, ar.d that it ceased to-do busi ness. Practically, it is a new corporation seeking authority to secure its entire capital, and must be treated as such. The Commission's Opinion. This being true, we believe tljat the policy adopted by this Commisstdfa in the matter of the Black Stream Electric Co., U No. 25, P. L\ R. 1915 C, 361, should govern. While the original certificates of stock are still outstanding, the value which they represented has been with drawn dollar by dollar by their former owners. Except for $400 at most, they now represent no tangible assets. Un less they are vitalized by new money substantially the entire undertaking will be financed from bonds. It is well set tled that franchise value cannot be con sidered as an element in rate making, and this bookkeeping asset would there fore be valueless any time the question of rates might be raised. The Commis sion could not permit the petitioner to construct a plant on $60,'0 of bonds and exact rates to provide a return on $900) of capitalization. So far as the book value of the real estate is concerned, the corporation paid $100 for it. It may have been, and probably was, an excellent trade—might have been at $500. But the accounting rules of this Commission re quire purchased property to be carried at cost, and, although it was purchased before, the Public Utilities Act became operative, considering this in effect as equivalent to capitalizing a new enter prise, we do not think that we ought to deviate from the rule. We (hen have in effect a new corpora tion with assets capitalizable at $400. All outstanding stock above that represents nothing that can now be considered, or that would give it earning value in the hands of possible future purchasers. This construction is no hardship upon its present owners, because it cost them nothing. Before additional securities are issued all In excess of $400 should be turned into the treasury or made good by the advancement to the corporation of ati equivalent amount of cash. Bonds should not be authorized without a sub stantial capital stock margin. The Advice Given. If, therefore, the present stockholders will reduce the amount of capital stock outstanding to not less than $»00 par value and pay into the treasury of the corporation cash for all stock remaining outstanding ir. excess of $400. at par, the Commission will grant an order authoriz ing the issue of five per cent mortgage bonds sufficient to secure a combined capital of $6000, when said bonds are sold Came on Face, Then on Arnd Itched So Would Scratch, Us Cuticura Soap and Ointment, Three Weeks Healed. 68 Poplar St., Boston; M« trouble began with pimples spreading!, arms.

i 1 Stops the Pains Of Indigestion When Soda Tablets Lose Effect Try This Simple Remedy. People who are accustomed to taking some digestive tablet after meals which depend solely on Soda or Pepsin as digestive aids, gen erally find such remedies soon lose their force and that it takes two or three tablets to bring relief where at first it took but one. Such a condition is dangerous and the UBe of such remedies should be promptly stopped before serious damage is done the stom ach. The excessive use of Pepsin weakens the natural organs of di gestion. while frequent doses of Soda irritate the stomach walls. Speedy relief from the distress of sour, gassy stomach, heartburn, or that full, heavy, lumpy feeling can be safely obtained from Mi o-na Stomach tablets which are a physician's prescription. Mi-o-na increases the flow of the gastric juices, strengthens, instead of weakens the stomach and pro motes a natural, healthy and pain less digestion that soon makes any digestive pill unnecessary.

Make Public American Reply to Note from Germany in Frye Case=Accepfe Settlement bv a Mixed Commission V American Government, However, Calls on Ger many for Statement as to Conduct of Future Naval Operations Washington. Aug. 17.—The American reply to Germany's last note on the sinking of the American sailing ship William P. Frye, made public here to day by the state department, accepts the proposal that damages be fixed by a mixed commission and that the dis puted treaty provisions be submitted to arbitration at The Hague, but calls on Germany for a statement, meanwhile, as to whether she intends to conduct her future naval operations in accord ance with her Interpretation of the Russlan-American treaty or those of the United States. Text of Note The note is regarded as putting the noted case well on the way to a settle ment. It is addressed by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, and follows: "You are instructed to present the following note to the German minis ter for foreign affairs: "Under instructions from my govern ment, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency, in reply to your note of July 30 in regard to the claim of reparation for the sinking of the William P. Frye, that the government of the United States learns with regret that the objections urged by it against the submission of this case to the prize court for decision have not commended themselves to the Impe rial German government, and it equally regrets that the reasons presented by the imperial German government for sub mitting this case to the prize court have failed to remove the objections of the government of the United States to the adoption of that course. As this disa greement has been reached after the full presentation of the views of both govern ments in our previous correspondence, a further exchange of views on the ques tion In dispute would doubtless be un profitable, and the government of the United States therefore welcomes Your Excellency’s suggestion that some other way should be found for settling this case. "The two methods of settlement propos ed as alternative suggestions in Your Ex cellency’s note have been given careful consideration and it is believed that il they can be combined so that they may both be adopted they will furnish a sat isfactory basis for the solution of the questions at issue. "The government of the United States has already expressed its desire that the question of the amount of indem nity to be paid by the imperial Ger man government under its admitted liability for the losses of the owners and captain on account of the destruc tion of the Frye should be settled by FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET DISORDERS (Continued from Page 1) tioned as the maximum length of the loan. In some circles publication of the proposal was regarded as a feel er for financial opinion as to the de sirability of financing a loan for 10 years. In previous foreign loans the term has been short. The outstanding fact at the close of today's exchange markets was the Imperative and immediate need for a loan of not less than $300,000,000 to restore rates to normal. There was every indication that unless some ac tion of this sort were speedily taken sterling, francs and lires would be still further depreciated. Markets Have Easier Tone The exchange markets were quieter today than yesterday. Depreciation of foreign money extended virtually throughout the entire list embracing reichsmarks and Spanish pesotas which fell to new low records. In the opinion of some bankers a great deal of the activity and weakness was attributed to the speculative opera tions of dealers. The arrival here for Great Britain's account of approximately $5,000,000 gold coin from Ottawa had no effect whatever on rates. The amount was regarded as insignificant in the light of Europe’s big obligations here which American manufacturers pressed for payment. This shipment took the un usual form of Japanese yen. Nor was the market buoyed by repetition of yesterday’s reports that more gold was enroute from Australia and South Africa. Exchange rates opened at about yesterday’s low figures. Pounds ster ling were quoted at 4.64 to 4.65; francs opened at 6.04 and later dropped to 6.05 lires, opening at 5.64, went down to 6.f6 before the close reichsmarks, on>Hamburg and Berlin fell to 81, a new' low record: Spanish pesetas, quo ted two days ago at 19.05, dropped to 18.80.
