The Evening Newspaper of Kansas HOME EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 SIXTEEN PAGES FOUR CENTS GERMANS WOULD BE HUNS AGAIN Germany Would Treat Peace Pact as Paper Scrap. Tells League Colony Clause "o Longer Binding. EXPECTED TO HAVE SAY Covenant Failed to Make Pro vision for Mandate. Berlin Disappointed at Being Left Out of Council. Geneva, Nov. 19. Germany no longer considers herself bound by the claused of the peace treaty under which she surrendered her colonies. This position was taken in an ap peal Germany addressed to the League of Nations today. The appeal pro tested against establishing mandates for former German colonies. It declared that the allies had not abided hy the treaty which provided that mandates for the former German colonies were to be distributed by the league. Expected To Be Member. Germany states "that she signed the peace treaty and the league covenant wilh the expectation of being admit ted and thus being permitted to par ticipate in the distribution of man dates over her colonies. Since she has not been admitted to membership and had no part in the distribution of mandates, the appeal said, she therefore considered herself no lonser bound by the treaty clauses accepting her colonic. Wording of Pact. The lensue covenant did not specifically provide for the distribution if mandates. Article 22 of the covenant, den line with the mib'pit nf mandatories, merely provided th: t thev should lie established. The aril.- r. i.fur stating thnt this method of rtd- illnlstriitlnn Is ilr cil bent for the colonies mid territories of former enemy stutes, goes into the matter of the duties and powers of the mandatories. Article 22 reads: -To those colonies nnd territories which ns n consettieiice of the iHte war have caused to he under the sm-lety of the stntes which fornierlv puvcrned them nnd which are Inhabited hy people not yet nble to stnnd hy th'-mrelves under the Htrennons eoinlltlin of the modern world, there should be niiplled the principle that the wctl-liclng Slid development of such people form n s:o red trust of civilization Slid that securities for th' jierformance of this trust should he embodied In this covennnt. The est method of giving practical ef fect to this principle is that the tutelage of such people uliould he entrusted to the ad vanced nation who by reason of their re sources, their experience or their geograph ical po.ltloii ,-au lest undertake this re spuiislhllltv nnd who are willing to accept it. nnd that this tutelage should be exer cised hy them us imiudntorles on behalf of the league. The character of the mandate must dlf-. f-r according to the stage of development of the people, the. geographical situation of the territory, its economic conditions and other similar circumstances." SiieHftcal'y Surrendered colonies. The article then touches, on the duties of the mandatories directing thp.t they shall prevent illicit traffic, bu.lding of fort fications and the like. It nlsu prov des the method of an nually reporting to the league of na tions. In the- peace treaty proper, Germany spc.-i-'ic-ally surrendered all rights and title to her colonies and all possessions out -lile the boundary line as de termined in the treaty. A: t ele 118. section 1 of part 4 of the treaty contains this renunciation. It read: "(lei-many renounces in favor of the pr'.rc pal nllied and associated powers all her r ghts and titles over her over seas possessions.' Would Admit Germany. Immediate admission of Germany nnd the other former enemy states .to the league of nations was urged before the assembly of the league today by George Nlcoll Barnes of the British delegation. Mr. Harnes said he knew the great majority of the laboring people of inianti aemnmlecl that all the enemy states be admitted without delay. I I ne Kriiisn delegate recalled the fact that Germany had taken part al ready In the deliberations of the in ternational labor bureau established by the league. Cruises Inaction.

Kearney, Neb.f Nov. 19. Dennie Cheater, accused of killing Florence Barton, Kansas City society girl, was recaptured four miles south of Oconto today. Cheater was alone and un armed and offered no resistance. He did not deny his identity when questioned by the officers, and was taken to Broken Bow immediately. I Chester, arrested in Montana and charged with the Kansas City crime, mad a spectacular escape from offi cers at Broken Bow Tuesday by jump ing from the window of a moving train. Pursuers fired several shots ot him, one of which tore his hat. He was located last night when he appeared In an Oconto store to make some purchases. The police were informed of his presence, but he eluded them a second time. A few hours later a farmer stated he met the alleged murderer on a road going south, and his capture was brought about quickly by the Custer county deputy sheriff. STRIKE WITH JOY Washburn Students Quit to Celebrate Championship. Law School Professor Throws Books at "Mob." With the football championship safely in the Blue camp, Washburn literally went wild this morning. The entire student body went on a strike, and at 9 o'clock the fireworks began. A snake dance, students hand In hand invaded the sacred halls of learning. MacVlcar chapel, the library, observ- atory' nd law Bcno1. and Boswell hall, all got a taste of Bolshevism, Yelling like mad, the students ran thru the buildings. Hinging open class- room doors, and taking out students who didn't have the holiday spirit. After trying for a half hour, profes sors and professoresss gave it up as a bad Job, and dismissed their classes, all except Prof. D. M. Fink and Prof. T. W. Hughes, of the law school. These professors stood pat, and In spite of the noise and general dis turbances, held their classes. Professor Hughes exhibited consid "able feeling when the howling mob attempted to Invade his class room. Rising from his chair as the door was flung open. Hughes grabbed half a I?"" 7 ,aW bVl1 7 at the. out-laws. His chances for stop ping the charge, would have been ma terially improved, had his ammuni tion lasted. Professor Flsk didn't turn a hair when his class room was invaded. He stood pat the the door, and respect for the veteran teacher, held the students back. A short time late, three win dows in the room were opened and "indents Jumped in the room, only to ,Jt x ..ii t i i over, only nix or seven students re mained in the library.

Cotton Prices Decline,' Too, While Shorts Cover. LOWEST SIEGE DEC. 1917 Large Leftover Stocks Chief Cause for "o Demand. Corn Went Down 3Iuch Faster Than Up. Chicago, Nov. 19. Hogs slumped again today on leading livestock ex changes of the country, record low levels since 1917 being established. Cleveland, Ohio, reported the big gest drop, the market falling off 65 cents at the opening. Declines of 50 cents were recorded at Indianapolis and Chicago. At Kansas Citv prices ranged from $11 to $11.65, a new low for the last four years. The drop, according to traders, was due to flooding of markets. Hog re ceipts here today otailed 27,000. Left overs from yesterday were more than 15.000. Best grades of hogs reached the lowest price since 1917 on the East Buffalo ma rket todfvy. Thev were quoted at $12.50. It nas predicted by livstock men that the price will go still lower because of the drop in the prices of corn. Grain prices smashed heavilv down ward today all along the line, with nogs and provisions following suit. Corn led the way notwithstanding that it was already lower than at any time since 1915. Expected greatly enlarged pressure of offerings from the new crop of corn appeared to be a leading factor in emphasizing bearish sentiment caused by unsettled financial and economic conditions. As a result before the dav was half over, wheat had fallen IVz to 1.7 3 H for Dec. delivery and to 1.63 for March; corn was off 3 cents to 66 cents, Dec. 1 and oats down to 46 for May. The seventy of the new breaks In prices and the extent of the accom panying selling to liquidate holdings excited much comment. It was pointed out in this connection that the value of corn had now been cut from $1.S3 a bushel to less than 70 cents Inside of five months, whereas It was two years after the world war was started before a bushel of corn could com mand an even 51.00. K. C. Decline Continues. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 13. The drop in the hig market continued to day. Prices ranged from $11-65, a new low for the last four years". Heavy receipts in Chicago, together with a holdover there of 16.000 hogs were largely responsible for the break here, as only 5,000 arrived here to day with practically no holdovers. Meanwhile, the cattle market here was strong following appearance of country- buyers. Five hundred and eighty-five cars of stookers and feed ers were shipped out of here yesterday the largest movement of the season. Chicago, Nov. 19. Hog prices fell again here today. Opening quotations were 2 5 to 40 cents lower. Cotton, Too, Falls Off. New York. Nov. 19. Profit taking by shorts failed to stem the tide of southern hedges ana liquidation ana at noon, cotton made new lows for the season, off 55 to a points.

The Ichabods have not lost a game this season while every other team in the confer ence has lost at least one battle. A few years ago two teams finished the season with a 1.000 per cent record. In deciding the championship, the judges gave the title to the team that had neither lost nor tied a game. One of the 1,000 per cent teams had played a tie game during the season. Wash burn has not lost a game altho she has tied two. Friends, another con testant, has lost one game. On the other hand Washburn has played a most difficult season wilh the best in the conference. Friends has not played Washburn nor College of Em poria. The rule of counting off a half point for tied games made when two teams finished the season with a 1,000 per cent has given rise to the rumor that this will be taken into account when the championship is awarded next month. Football followers, how ever, have accepted Washburn as the 1920 champions of the Kansas confer ence. It is the only team that holds an undefeated record and that is sufficient. General Nivelle of France May Be Topeka Visitor For Annual May flower Banquet E. Harold Spender, Noted English Author, the Main Speaker Tomorrow Evening Kansas Descendants Are Coming to Topeka A. E. Van Petten Is Governor. Topeka may be hostess to Gen. Robert Nivelle. famous French war chieftain, at the Mayflower celebration here Saturday. A telegram received today by Mrs. D. W. 'Mulvane indicates the noted army officer, who is in America under commission from, the French government, will give color and setting to LZ"" celebration of May General Robert Nivelle. Accord-ng to the telesranj cceived by Mrs. Mulvan, the French general is due to arrive in Topeka with Mr. and Mrs. E. Harold Speader pf England, who are to be guests of honor at the Mayflower celebration. Miss Felicitie Oglesby, daughter of Lieutenant Go ernor Oglesby of Illinois, and a. per sonal friend of Mrs. Mulvane, sent the telegram announcing the personnel of the distinguished party.' She asked Mrr.. Mulvane to receive Mrs. Spender, wife of the noted English author. "Mr. and Mrs. Spender are with SCHOOLS WILXi CLOSE MOXDAT. Board Deckles Today About Closing in Kospcct to I'. M.

Washburn next year should have' little trouble in walking away with the I honors. Not a first string man is graduated or is limited by play next season. If this mighty Ream squad is together again it looks like another year of honors to the Blue. Washburn has gone thru the most gruelling schedule of any team in the Kansas conference this year. The first game- of the year was with the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln. This was lost after the Ichabods out played the Nebraskans in the first quarter. The score was 14 to 0. The next game was with Kansas university at Lawrence. Here the Ichabods lost 6 to 0 after a bitter struggle. Then came the schedule in the Kan sas conference. It was an admitted fact all over the state that the slogan "Beat Washburn" was adopted from the time the team came out for the preliminary practice until the day of the game. Washburn played every game in the conference against teams that had been pointed to its style of play. Every team lined up against the Ichabods was coached to crush the Blue plays following the continual visits of the coaches to the scene of Washburn games. And the Topekans did not lose a game. General Nivelle. They arrive in To peka Saturday. Will you receive her?" was the text of the telegram received todav by Mrs. Mulvane. De tails of the visit of the- French army officer are seemingly missing. That Topeka and Kansas may play hostess to the hero of the battle oi veraun seems most probable, however. In any event Topeka is today preparing for a real reception Jn spite of the short notice. "I do not know of the plans for General Nivelle's trip to Kansas," Mrs. Mulvane said this afternoon. "My only information is contained In the telegram." General Nivelle was sent to the United States as the special represen tative of the French government to at tend the Mayflower celebration. He was selected as the military represen tative of his government' when Gen eral Foch was unable to make the trip to America. During the world war it was Gen- oral Nivelle who broke the military hierachy which for years Btaked all on length of service. General Nivelle was elevated to the honor and respon sibility formerly held by General Jof f re in a strenuous effort to inject new blood into conductors of the war. He was at the time 58 years old one of; the! youngest generals in the French j army. s The name of General Nivelle first ame to public notice during the crown prince's Verdun offensive. He later went to the Meuse in command of the third army corps and a month later succeeded General Petain, command ing the Verdun army. By his master ful genius General Niveile's leadership saved the fortress. Then in two sub sequent bounds, he took Douaumont and Vaux, undoing the German's work of eight months. That General Nivelle will be one of he speakers at the Mayflower cele bration in Topeka is most certain if the army leader is really to be the guest of the city and state. Dr. Ed mund J. Kulp of Topeka will preside at the meeting of Mayflower descend ants. General Nivelle will divide hon ors with E. Harold Spender, the Eng lish author, as a guest of honor at the banqu-et at the Elks, club Saturday night. Spender is sent to Kansas by the American Mayflower Union. There are fifty members of the May flower organization in this state. Of these some thirty lrve in'Toprta. ""A.' E. Van Petten is governor of the Kan sas organization;' Mrs. E. P.

With the decisive defeat of St. Mary's Thursday Coach Ream's men may settle back to enjoy the laurels of a hard fought, strenuous and clean cut season. In every game of the year the Ichabods have finished stronger than they entered. The rigid training, the observance of physical rules and the spirit of fight has given the foot ball representatives a wonderful sea son's record. Years ago Washburn's slogan was "Never Give Up." Tradi tion has not been violated. The College of Emporia has chal lenged Washburn to a post-season game. It U doubtful if Coach Ream will accept. Washburn's last game Thanksgiving day completes her schedule and it is a most difficult came for the warriors of the Blue, The players deserve a complete relaxa tion. There is little Interest in post season football. The result of the game means nothing to championship honors. It means nothing to the standing of the schools in athletics. Also it smirks of professionalism playing football before gate receipts. Topeka congratulates Coach Dwight Ream on his wonderful first season at Washburn. Topeka congratulates the loyal, hard fighting Ichabods for their great exhibition of clean athletics. 23sb-:; J MEET HEREIN 1921 Kansas Officials to Hold Next Convention in Topeka. Election of Officers Takes Up Most of Morning. L J. HARVEY IS PRESIDENT Judge "Wendell Ready Is Jfew Vice President. Mrs. Bertha Kempton Is Cbosen as Secretary. The closing act of the county offi cials of the state, at the general ses sion of the Kansas Official Council this morning was to again select Topeka as their meeting place for the next annual convention, which will be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the third week of November. 1921. Charles L. Mitchell, of the local en tertainment committee, and Oscar K. Swayze, of the same committee, ex tended the invitation of the city to the county officials to come again, and the decision to make Topeka the next meeting place was unanimous. The election of the officers of the council and of the various associations was the point of main interest in the sessions which were held this morn ing. A. J. Harvey Is President. A. J. Harvey, county clerk of Mar shall county, and past president of the County Clerks' association, was elected president of the council, succeeding Clarence Aten, past president of the County Commissioners' association, who has served as president of the council for the past t"vo years. A vice president was elected by the council. There has not been a vice president on the official roster during past years. The first vice president of the organization is Judge Wendell Ready, probate judge of Sumner county. Mrs. Bertha Kempton, secre tary of the District Clerks' associa tion, and a former secretary and treas urer of the council, was re-elected to that office this morning. Engineers Elect Officers, Officers elected by the county en gineers this morning were: C. M. Cooper of Cherokee county, president; S. K. McCrary of Brown county, first vice president; Sam Ainsworth of Rice county, second vice president; Blair Boyle of Bourbon county, secretary treasurer, and A. C. Lagerwall of Shawnee county, corresponding secre tary. The county engineers voted to affiliate with the Kansas Engineering Council, and elected their representa tive on that body, Blair Boyle, their secretary and treasurer. "The county engineers adopted in its final form their association constitution. This is the first independent session which they have held. District Clerks Elect. The clerks of district caurts this morning elected the following offi cers: A. B. Campbell of Marysville, president; Roy Foster of Iola, vice president, and Mrs. Bertha Kempton of Goodland, Sherman county, secretary-treasurer. The district clerks passed a resolu tion asking some action on the part of the attorney general of the United States on the application of enemy aliens for citizenship papers. Alien Applications Held L'p. During the war according to law, alien enemies not only could not be come citizens of the United States, but their applications could not be con sidered by the courts, without the spe cial permission of the president of the United States. When hostilities ceased, the power of granting this per mission was delegated to the attorney general of the United States. The rule is still in force since the United States remains technically in a state of war, and fhere are thousands of aliens thruout the country whose ap plications for citizenship papers can not be heard. Congestion in the of fice of the attorney general is believed to be the cause of the clogging of the (Continued on Page Four) FOUR MILLION PAID TAX A vet-ago Income Assessment on 1918 Earnings Was $254.55.

BLOCK HIS PLANS Allies Expected to Prevent Con stantine Taking Throne. High French Official Declares Entente Has Every Right. Paris. Nov. 19. Allied nations probably will intervene to prevent the return of former King Constantino to the Greek throne. Bays Charles C. A. Jonnart, former French high commis sioner In Greece and at present extraordinary ambassador at the Vati can. His views on the situation are set forth in an interview published to day by the Excelsior, and a similar opinion voiced by Baron Dcnys Cochin an eminent authority on Greek af fair "Constaritine," says M. Jonnart, "seems to me not only undesirable for the allies, but quite impossible. His return to the throne would mean that the greater Greece of Venizelos would be placed at the service of Germany. It is the right and duty of the pro tecting powers not to allow a Greece that is stronger than ever to become a vassal of Germany. Says Allies Have Right. "It cannot be denied that Constan tino acted as an autocrat and the pow ers have a perfect right to oppose his return to the throne. A historical precedent may be found for this ac tion. King Otto, the Bavarian mon arch of Greece, attempted in 1862 to set up absolute rule in that country "This resulted in Anglo-French in tervention and the deposition of King Otto was required. The Bavarian dynasty was later replaced by one having its origin in Denmark. "When I -was In Athens in 1J1S. one of Gonstantlne's-brothers said to me Ypu.oucht to pxoiect.uawlnsU foreign powers but you have no right to interfere in our home affairs.' "I replied, 'If we had not that right. I should now have to regret talking to a Bavarian prince instead of you. Constanline to Alliens. London, Nov. 19. King Constantlne today was reported to be preparing to leave for Athens, having confirmed the report that the queen mother, Olgra, had been appointed regent, Constantino was said to be con vinced nothing could stand In the way of his resumption of the throne, in view of the recent elections The al lies cannot prevent him or his son from becoming the ruler, he declared. Crown Prince Carol of Rumania Joined the Greek royal family today. It was expected that announcement of his betrothal to Princess Helen ot Greece would be made soon. Expect Plebiscite Victory. Rome, Nov. 19. Princes Andreas and Christorphoros of Greece, broth ers of King Constantlne, said today, they believed the plebiscite for the purpose of deciding upon the occupant of the throne would be held next week. They declared it would be a demonstration in favor of Constantlne that would eclipse that of the recent election In that country. HOT HALF RAISED Response In Boll Call Is Slow, Workers Report.

Of this direct tax. however, only 10.S cents of every dollar went to pay state ex penses last year as against cents In 1918. Knapp's figures show that prac- j government was met thru Indirect taxes. Th's situation prevails, he de clares and proves It with figures in spite of the fact that in 1919 the cost to taxpayers for state government wns $6,049,649.56 as against $4,013,937.39 for 1918. This is an increifie of more than 50 per cent. Only Two Cents for Stnto. Less than two cents of every dollar expended for governmental purposes In Kansas goes to the state executive de partment, Knapp shows. He aleo states that slightly more than two cents or eocn dollar used for the Judiciary system and that expenses for the legis lative branch of government calls for less than one cent from each dollar in taxes. Praises Educational System. Knapp in his report pays tribute to the Kansas system of handling educa tional, penal and charitable Institu tions "under one board. "The people of Kansas have Just right to be proud of the manner in which her insane and other departments are cared for." says Knapp, "and of the high stand ards maintained in her various educa tional institutions. No state In the union has boiled down the manage ment of all of Its institution so nearly under one head and business manage ment as has Kansas." The auditor points out that In the minds of the average taxpayer there Is a icrnng tnat the bulk of taxes go to nouse a&a stst department expenses. His figures showing distri bution of funds raised by direct taxa tion show the state received 8 6 cents on each dollar in 1918 and 10 cents in lfl. County government cost $1514,232.79 last year, while citv school expenses were $10,189,256 25 and country school district expenses were $8,418,616.70.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 BIGGEST THING OF THE KIND EVER SEEN HERE Entire Trainload of Tanlac Sold in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa in Only Few Months Time. TOPEKA DEALERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC. t. Celebrated Medicine Now Selling at Phenomenal Rate of 7,500,000 Bottles Per Year AH Records Broken. "The fact that twenty carloads or n entire trainload of Tanlao has been sold In the slates of Kansas. Missouri apd Iowa within the short period of ninety days Is a big business item that ill attract attention thruout the en tire Middle West, for nothing like it has ever happened before. It breaks, aJ! records." Mr. .1. W. Burton, special Tanlac representative, made this remarkable announcement when seen yesterday and imparted the additional informa tion that the preparation was now,ell ing at the phenomenal rate of approx imately 7,r00.0()0 bottles a year. "If the present rate continues," said llr. Burton, "the Middle West alone will require considerably over 2.000, 000 bottles a year. This is a tremen dous figure, but I api really conserva tive In miMting this statement. These enormous sales mean but one thing and that is merit. "Tanlac has been well advertised, it is true, but such a large iind rapidly prowlng demand could not be brought about hy advertising alone. It is what the people themselves say that counts. One bott le of Tanlac is sold in a neigh borhood thru advertising, but ten more are sold in that same community as a result of the sale of that first bottle and that is why Tanlac has succeeded. People are always willing to -talk about thetr ailments, but they are more than glad to tell others of the medicine that helped them. It is something they could not keep to themselves if they tried, for the im pulse to sympathize with your fellow man and want to help him is one of the stronsest, as well as one of the binnest. things in human nature. "As I have just stated, the enormous demand for Tanla,c is due to merit alone for. altho Tanlao is extensively advertised, no amount of advertising would continue to sell any article, that does not possess real merit. Unless full value underlays the article adver tised, the advertising will ultimately fall of it( own weight. 'You can fool but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." "This applies to every line of busi ness, and the modern business man or firm can only succeed thru honest ad vertising and fair dealing. When the manufacturers of Tanlac placed it on fhe market, something over five years bkb. they did so with the firm convic tion thnt they were offering to the people the best and purest product of its kind on the American market. They did not hesitate, therefore, to Oniy One To WALL At Yz Price Included in this sale are many patterns that sold for as high as $1.00 a roll BETTER HURRY!

Demand for It Is Astonish ing, Says Local Firm. In referring to the unprecedented demand for Tanlac in Topeka since its introduction here a short time ago, Mr. McKarland, of the TuIly-MeFarland Drug store, the well-known retail druggists, said: "I have been closely Identified with the drug trade in this city for a number of years and in all of my experience we have never han dled anything in the way of a proprie tary medicine that even approaches Tanlac as a seller. "In a little over a year's time we have sold and distributed 18.876 bot tles of Tanlac, and I believe that I will be entirely safe in saying that this amount of business in so short a ime establishes a new sales record, not only for Topeka, but for the entire state of Kansas. On one Saturday alone we sold over 150 bottles. The sales are how averaging over 35 bot tles each ai d every day and the de mand is constantly increasing. "While we were aware of the suc cess the preparation had achieved in other cities of the country, we had no idea that the medicine would become so popular in Topeka in so short a time. From the repeat sales and ex pressions of sat isfaction from those who have actually tested Tanlac. and who statethat they have been bene fited by it. the preparation must therefore possess unusual merit. 0 "The class of people who are huying Tanlac are among the best in our city; people who are capable of judging im partially and who carry weight in their statements. When it is considered that the demand is confined to one prepar ation, it is indeed remarkable and is, in fact, the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in our city." expend vast sums for advertising be cause of their absolute confidence in their product. "Tanhic has never been advertised as a cuSe-all or that it would perform unheard wonders. The advertising has been clean, straightforward and conservative. Actual facts and figures have been stated and stated in a true, business-like way that has commanded the confidence of all in the conserva tive claims set forth. "When I came to Kansas to super intend the sale of Tanlac in Topeka. 1 stated publicly that the success of the medicine would be as great in this city as elsewhere. I offered Tanlac upon its merit, knowing full well that it would prove satisfactory if properly tested. The success the preparation has achieved here has amply proven that my confidence was well placed. A large percentage of your best peo ple are now using the preparation and are daily testifying to its remarkable powers as a medicine." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co., 835 Kansas Ave., and 729 Kansas Ave. Adv. More Day Buy at CVttcaco. So. St, Jocenh. So. Paul, li Buffalo, E. St. Imia, Fart IS NOT RELIGION Witness Before Unofficial Irish Probe Paints Black Picture. Declares AH Factions in Erin ow Want Bepnblic. Washington, Nov. 19. The unoffi cial commission which is sitting here to investigate the Irish situation to day expected to hear more testimony from John Derham of Baltirigrgan, Ireland. The commIsn is a project of Os wald Garrison ViHard of The Nation, a weekly magazine published in New York, and has not been rpcogniaed by the American government or the Brit ish embassy. Its proceedings are en tirely informal. Jane Addams of Chicago; Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, and Freder ick C. Howe, former immigration commissioner at New York, were among members participating in the opening sessions. Derham's story was expected to be much like that-told yesterday by Den nis Morgan, official of the town of Thurles. Balbriggan, like Thurles, has been a center of trouble. Word received by Villard, at whose suggestion the present unofficial in quiry was undertaken, indicated that Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the late lord mayqj: of Cork, would come to Washington, altho it is said to be uncertain just when. Her sailing date has been set at November 24, but she may leave before then. Membera said Irish witnesses keep to themselves their sailing dates for fear of interference hence it is im possible to say who will be here. Late yesterday Rev. Dr. James H. Cotter said he established to his own satisfaction that there is no religious division among those who favor a re public; that Ireland's sole purpose is to "curb with patience its indignation and anger" against the British; that the British reprisals were out of all nronortion to offenses bv Irishmen and that even when the Irish attempted to make merry they were menaced with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. Mr. Derham said that besides the two men stabbod by the 'black and tans," five other persons, three of them children, died as a result of ex posure after their homes in Balbrig gan had been destroyed, and thoy were thrown at the mercy of the ele ments. Mr. Durham told the commis sion that Irish citizens who had suf fered losses thru police raids had joined together in an attempt to get reparation from the British govern ment but that efforts had been futile. Hp said the British government has refused to acknowledge the claims and had taken no steps towards an inves tigation of their merits. AMERICANS ARE 1NFUSHT Mexican Miners Refuse to Surrender Seized Mining Property. Eagle Pass, Tex, Nov. 19. Trouble is anticipated in the coal region of Coahuila, according to Americans ar riving here from towns within the re gion. The ultimatum issued yesterday hy the government that it would take over the mines Monday if miners and operators failed to agree and the mines were not started within three days is said to be the cause for the threaten ing trouble. All Americans are getting out of the district under advice from Gov. Luis Quiteres, it was said. When the miners first seised the mines, Ameri cans were guaranteed protection by the Mexican government. Whether the miners will give up the mines to the operators is the question remaining to be solved. It was said by Americans who arHved here direct from the affeoted districts. It is be lieved the miners will not give up the mines without soma disorders, they said. CLEAR UP MAIL ROBBERY Seven More Arrests Made by Council Bluffs Authorities. Council Bluffs, la., Nov. 19.

It means nothing to the man who is well-to-do but it is a real burden to the man who works for wages. There ia no other form of taxation so easily evaded. It is a relic of a by-gone age and the law providing for its col lection should be wiped from the stat ute books. It is pointed out by the Wall Street Journal that there are three Thanks givings in this month, falling on the following dates: 2, 1.1 and 25. Harding'B majority in Kansas -this year was the largest ever given a pres idential candidate in this state. The next largest was that given Roosevelt in 1304, which was approximately 124.000. The next largest, 82,000, was given to Harrison in 1888. Four years later the state gave its electoral voe to Weaver, the Populist candidate. Consumers of Jamaica ginger are invited by the government to lay in a stock in preparation for an approach ing' drouth. It is announced that the ban will go sn in ninety days. A rap id advance in the price may be ex pected. If the preparation come un der the head of prohibited drinks, there may arise some curiosity regard ing the cause of the delay in clamp ing down the lid. Demand for tax revision ia insistent thruout the country, but revision usu ally meanan increase. Efficiency engineers have under taken the task of lmprovfng our pos tal service. If they will first devise a i plan,, for the removal of Burleson the rest should be easy. The Bolsheviki appear to have the remainder of the world "buffaloed" with the possible exception of Japan. If other nations will refrain from In terfering the little yellow men will attend to the case of the soviet lead er in a neat and workmanlike man ner, whenever occasion for so doing shall arise. It is reported that trade with Mex ico has been resumed and that Ameri can goods are pouring across the border in an endless stream. Since Villa and his followers had stolen about everything portable it -may be that they merely are waiting until new supplies arrive, when they will repeat the performance. It is a good guess that those who are establishing business relations with, the Mexicans include few persons who have had experience in that line in, the past. The proverbial ingratitude of the populace again is illustrated in the de feat of Premier Venizelos in Greece. It was Veniselos who saved Greece from the ruin which descended upon Germany and her allies and placed his country on the map of the world. Now he goes to Join Cleme'neeau who parformed equally meritorious Bervice for France. The committee of the National Municipal League appointed to. draft a model state constitution made Its report at the annual meeting In In dianapolis thiB week, calling for radi cal changes In the structure of state government. The committee favored a single house legislature, all heads of departments to be appointed by the governor, who will be the only other elected state official. The governor is to have a seat in the legislature with power to introduce bills but with no power to vote. The legislature Is to be elected by proportional represen tation. Something entirely new in American politics is proposed, namely, a legislative council, chosen by and from members of the legislature to meet when the legislature is not in session to study the needs of the state and prepare bills for introduction In the legislature.- The council will also act as a standing committee of the legislature to consult with the gov ernor and department heads. All, this may soutid good but the American people are slow ,to give up their old ways, especially their political ways. ECONOMY BEGINS AT HOME. A strong movement is reported to to have set In at Washington, looking to an increase of the salaries of con gressmen from J7.500 to $10,000 a year. This does not accord with the promise of economy made in the Chi cago platform. 1 It may be that the members of con gress should have more pay but it is a bad time to ask for it. This is especially true in view of the fact that costs of living are coming down and other salaries are threatened with reductions. Of course there can be no imme diate reduction of taxes and the Re publicans, in their platform, were frank enough to declare that they could not promise so desirable an at tainment. There are numerous rea sons why there can be no early reduc tion of taxes. An enormous debt, now aggregating some $24,000,000,000 has been incurred, and on this there will be an Interest charge of a billion dol lars a year an interest expense prac tically equal to the entire annual gov ernment expenditure prior to the war. Then, toe provision must be made for gradual payment of the principal of the national debt. The obligation, both ae to interest and principal is nor only a moral but a legal obligation. The people are likely to view with disapproval any attempt to increase salaries of officials in the existing state of the country's finances. In the process of readjustment there are few that do not stand to lose money. Congressmen should not try toex empt themselves from a fair share of theburden, merely because they have the power to do so. Those who have given the subject attention can hardly have failed to note an almost entire absence of strikes in this country recently. Cer tain sejlf-appointed radical leaders of labor seem to have lost their hold on their followers when the labor mar ket returned to normal and there were more applicants than jobs. The activities of such men have been en dured heretofore simply because in dustry could not afford to do without the services of the workers whom they controlled. Now it is different. Em ployment agencies report that it Is now a question of finding enough po sitions for the men who apply for work. Those fortunate enough to have steady employment know thai they must do good work and stick to it If they want to hold their places, and that those who Indulge in a strike are likely to find their places filled by others when they seek to return to work.

THE TOPEKA DAILY Internationale Sunday School Lesson BY WTLIilAM T. EXLIS. For Nov. 21 is, "The Twelve Sent Forth." Matthew iu:5-42. Tlie Paradox of Power. A world-traveler Is surprised to dis cover so many of his fellow-countrymen abroad. He finds them scattered everywhere. At home he had scarcely heard of these outreaching organiza tions of religion, altruism and com merce and science. It is thought compelling to behold the various guises in which a Christian nation goes into all the world. Deeper consideration and W'ider observation reveals the significant truth that these men and women whose personalities are invested in far lands exercise a greater influence than would have been theirs in the home land. As the weight on a scale multi plies its power the further ctut on the tream it is placed, .a pound of iron two feet out on the scale represents a hun dred pounds en the platform, so in the same way a single character distant from base, possesses arnuitiplied pow er entirely disproportionate to its own inherent capabilities. In other words, the men and women .who have flung their lives farthest count for the most. What is that but the paradox of power set forth by Jesus when com missioning His apostles: "To save your life is to lose It, and to lose your life for My sake is to save It." The Twelve gave up their Jobs "left all," and followed the new Teacher. Lo, these commonplace men, whose iden tity in natural course would not have survived two generations in their own unnoted neighborhoods, have become leaders of history's immortals. On so low a plane as mere material memo rials, there are more statues of the apostles to be found on earth today than of all the other great ones of his tory combined. More buildings and organizations bear their names than the names of the entire aggregation of kinars and conquerors and heroes. And all because they had the nerve and vision ana tne loyalty to Batnuce everything else for the discipleship Jesus Christ. God Bless the Fools! "Fools!" their prudent neighbors called them; but who remembers these sapient neighbors, except in the reflected light of the reckless "fopls?" May God send to our own unled and unilluminated day, with its material ism and selfishness beyond reckon ing, more such "fools" to deliver us. Curtis Hidden Page once wrote: 'One fool sailed westward till he found a One fonnd' new worlds within the mind of man The cvnics called Colnmbus charlatan And burned Giordano Bruno i Who unfurled 'The heavens like scroll, that men might know, But foolish Galileo? Who began Our new free art aSid thought and social Plan- But that poor outcast, crasy fool, Rous seau "There is one toast the future ages drink Standing! To those who dare rush lu, and die -Those who defy all rights and break all ru lep. Who fight Impossible battles, and who think True thoughts at whom with one accord, we cry. 'The fools!' 'The fools!' 'The fools!' 'tiod bless the fools A few weeks ago there was wit nessed in Philadelphia the funeral of a minister who had turned his- back upon worldlyt and ecclesiastical hon ors; who was never seen at social gatherings of the clergy; who literally had no life .except the service of the people of his teeming parish. Every body livthe neighborhood knew that Doctor Bkillman could be called out of his bed at any- hour of the night to render service of whatever sort was needed. He literally "emptied him self" like his Master: for he was "come not to be ministered unto, but to ministr." Long before he died the papers discovered him thru his selfless service; but he himself would provide them with no "copy." The unique out pouring at his funeral was ft demon stration that he had been in true apos tolic succession, an inheritor of the commission and Spirit of the Twelve. Ministers and Money. What the mass of us think of most importance today, Jesus bade the apo tles Ignore. Money, raiment, food, safety for these they were to take no thought. It may be laid down as a general truth hat the. disciple who would be Christ's man to the uttermost must have a measure of disdain for the temporalities. Prudential consid erations may not be first in his mind. When the size of the salary is the first factor In a pastoral "call," then the call is from some other source than -heaven. Some few ministers or tne Gospel are successful in money-man-lng; but I have never known one such who) was at the same time successful in spiritual service. God forbid that the time should ever come when young men will become clergymen because the calling 13 easily and inexpensively entered, and prom ises an assured and comfortable liveli hood. For then the apostalate would perish. Whosoever Would follow Christ in discipleship must enter by the door of denial and put his back permanently under a crosB of sacrifice. Horatius Bonar sang.ethree-quarters of a cen tury ago: "Go labor on: spend, anrt be spent. Thy Joy to do the Father's will; It is the way Jtie Master went: Should not the servant tread It still? "Go. labor on: 'tis not for naught: Thv esrthlv los Is heavenly gnin: Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not The Master praises: What are men? That principle does not relieve parsimonious Christians from paying living salaries to their pastors. I have been dealing with the minister's motives and mission. Equally clear is it the duty of the church to provide adequately for the messenger of God. Dire was the fate predicted by the Master for the house and community which would not properly entertain the apostle. Again He declared, "Every one who receives a prophet, be cause "he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward." Surely, one rea son why so many congregations are spiritually starved is ecause they have materially starved the minister of the Gospel. God has no blessings for a mean man. Human Dynamite. No sDirltual truth counts for any thing until it becomes incorporated m a person. All tn; transtorming teacn ing of Christ would have passed away had it not been for the discipleship. He committed His case ana cause to a r 1 m nanuiui oi cUi..u.h. i them, who remained so humble to the end that even in his roster of the i Twelve he tags himself with his opprobrious title of "tax-gatherer," j tells us the story and quotes the com- I mission as he heard It hot from the Hps of the Master. It seemed as if Jesus STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER. 19, 1920 was entrusting all His power to tViese Galileans, incarnating Himself in their personalities. They were to be the human dynamite to blast thru rocky indifference a channel for streams of new life. The climax of this complete identification of the Master with the man came ir the sublime worda of Jesus: "Whosoever receives you, re ceives m'-'." There is a Turkish proverb that "The pasha's servant is the pasha." All the authority of the King goes along with His ambassador. All human tendency is to exalt the institution: Jesus Instead, exalted the man. His confidence, now. as ever, is in the discipleship. What is to be done in His name for the world today is to be done by His friends. Each of us, in characteristic fashion, is to be -an innovator, and n apostle for Christ. One. wiil serve Him by a beautiful character; another by a. dedicated voice; another by pen; another by con secrated business ability or political talent: the ways are as diverse as human personalities, but the motive and the might are one. A reawakening to the responsibili ties of discipleship on the part of Christians would sjlve most of the world's present perplexities. That would be the swiftest, surest answer to such clarion calls as the familiar lines of J. G. Holland: "God give us men! mandN A time like this de- Strong minds, great hearts, anil refiriv ImmU true faith, Men whom the lust of office does not kill Men whom the spoil of office does not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will Men who have honor, tneu who will not lie Men who can stand before a demagogue' And damn his 'treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking." A leadership for Today. "It's education we need to solve the day's problem," I hqnrd one man say, at a little conference of public-minded persons. "Not so," rejoined the other; "the world knows enough to do right; it is moral impulse we need." "Lead- ersnip is the supreme lack," echoes an opinion from every side: WTe wander cejand wabble and wreak woe because or we have not adequate leadership cod .re us tiieit: All three diagnoses of nnr" world's need are met by the clear, ancient truth, hidden beneath hackneyed phrases, that Jesus alone is sufficient leader for these time. He still lives and leads. His path is plain, Nobody need have any doubt about the way He is going. Nor will He, like human leaders, fall by the wayside or be led astray. Christ's highway may be nar row, but it Is straight and clear. Not mental confusion, but moral fog. is re sponsible for the failure of followers to hold the path. The strength of our national life to day is the character of the uncounted host of men and Women, who, without special cognizance of social or political problems, measure up. to the level of all new needs by the simple fact that they are trying to meet each situation of life in the, spirit of Christ. Chris tian citizens are the bulwark of law. the leaveof common good will, the mainstay of altruism and the saving salt of idealism. -In these quiet, un noticed and unrecorded ways Jesus is making his many-sided Impact upon our- world. Thefe is no need of a new organ ization to save society. A "movement" is not called for. No official positions have to be created and no books kept. All that is needed is that men and women, boys and girls, all over- the earth, shall quietly resolve. In the se crecy of their own hearts, that they will join the farflung discipleship of Christ: and that they will demonstrate the paradox of power by spending themselves lavishly in the service of the Master. In other words, they will make to their basio life purpose to strive to do always whatever Jesus would like to have them do. For His sake they will subordinate all other allegiences to His service of love. And, whatever betide, they will stand fast by Him. V "One shall grow w-eary of Thy narrow way The homeless wanderings by night and day. The hungry hearts that throng with their demands. The Blck and sinful waiting for Thy hands. One shall grow weary while the days go by. 'Lord, is it I?' "One shall walk on, reluctant In Thy train. Counting each, toil, remembering every pain. The solitude In desert' paths of prayer. The mounting scorn of men, the scanty fare; Weighing each pity loss with selfish sigh. 'Lord, is it I JUST A GIRL By JANE PHELPS ZESA MAKES HER DECISION. CHAPTER 149. I thougbt a good deal of what Frank Claxton had said- He had every respect for a woman who worked because she had to. I knew from my own experience and obser vation that this waa so that every girl and woman in his employ was not only treated with the greatest respect by him, but that he compelled the same attitude from the men in his of fice. But, like mother, he thought the real place for a woman was at home. I wondered If all men, no matter what their station, felt that way. And I concluded that they did. There was Tom, a poor, uneducated (in the sense w use the word) clerk in a coffee house until he met Mary now running a small eating room, who felt just the same as did Frank Clax ton, the broker. Perhaps it was a good thing there were not men enough to go arounl if they all felt the same. It Would be terribly hard on women who cared more for their independ ence than for a man or a home. My thought always hesitated when I came to that. Mother once had said: "There are women, girls, who should be wives and mothers. Tou are one of that sort, Zena. Tou think you are a business woman. Tou are now. But it isn't your vocation, altho It is your present necessity. Tou are a potential raoher. Just, aa I was, my dear." All these things, conversations with mother and Aunt Susan, were dis turbing elements In my life, altho it was farthest from their thoughts to make them so. They both tried to spoil me. to save me from all kinds of anxieties and worries as far as they were able. Mother made my salary go; farther than I ever could have hoped to: Aunt Susan kept us well and good tempered by her delicious and economical cooking. I was so much better off than most girls who had no v mvm B"W "U home, so much happier than I was when i iived ln one and cooked my SCanty meals over the gas jet, thai i r et guilty to even feel depressed or unhappy. And everyone was so good to me. Frank Claxton waa so thoughtful, so kind, that I used to say to myself "it hurts." Mother and Aunt Susan,' Tom and Mary, even Mr. Bets and Jen nie Wilcox seemed always to be doing something for me something unus ual. I may have given things undue Importance because of my state of mind; but It seemed to me that every one waa making life pleasant for me, here in phicago. And so making it hard for me to tear myself away. Mother talked often of our old life in New York when Dad was alive. She jrpoke of our old friends, espe cially the young people with whom I associated. She seemed only to regret our lest fortune, our position, for my sake, Her grief at -Dad's loss had never lessened, and to her it dwarfed everything else even after so long a time. "I wonder if he knows," she said one day when we were talking of Kenneth. "Of5 .course he knows, dear has known all that has happened, every single thing." "I feel that way. too." I told her. "I have felt Dad so near me at times that I almost believed he was really beside me that he never had left us. I am sure he knows we are to gether at last, and that we are happy." "But are you happy, Zena?" "Yes, Mother, happy to be with you. And later, dear, when I have written Kenneth, I shall be less restless." Does it seem that my story is tame? If so, the only excuse I have is that I have nothing to record at this time save Frank Claxton's goodness, and my uncertainty. On my birthday, Kenneth, had sent me a long letter, filled with good wishes. If I was disappointed that he had not remembered me in any other way. I tried not to allow myself to feel it. But when a box of lovely flowers and a late and popular book came from Frank Claxton, I couldn't help wishing KennetM had sent me some trifle a book, a box of bonbons any thing. But I wouldn't allow myself to dwell upon thoughts derogatory to Kenneth. He was so far away. So I struggled. And daily the strug gle grew harder; my strength'to carry on, less. Then one night came the thought, awakening, illuminating I had no right to hesitate, f was cheating both Kenneth and myself. (Tomorrow -A letter to Kenneth.)

Will Fill Time Getting Ont Extra.EflitioBs of Paper. BT RATMOND CLAPPER. Aboard Steamship Parismina, Nov. 19. Senator Harding, en route to the canal zone for a vacation trip, tried to settle down today to the task of doing nothing, but he found it difficult. The wireless news reports which came in were scanned for word of what had occurred in the United States and elsewhere since the Paris mina left land last night and started plowing across the blue waters of the Gulf of fexico. Harding strolled on the decks until late last night, puffing at his pipe. To Be Printer-Editor. While at! sea, Harding will get out one or two souvenir editions of the Marion Star. There is a typesetting outfit on board and the plan is for the senator to do the whole job himself, typesetting and all. The United Fruit steamer Parismina was completely overhauled for Senator Harding and its staterooms repainted and. new fittings put in. Cut flowers were scattered in profusion thru the j presidential suite. A number of, other passengers were on board in addition to the Harding party, which included besides the president-elect and Mrs. Harding, Senator and Mrs. Freling huysen, New Jersey; Senator Hale, Maine; Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Sawyer, Marion, Ohio; and Oeorge B. Christian, Jr., Harding's secretary. Friendly to Mexico. Friendly relations with Mexico dur ing the Harding administration were predicted by those close to the president-elect. Harding, they believe, will extend a helping hand to the Obregon administration in the hope of putting the country on its feet industrially and politically. General Obregon. it can be said, will assume power in Mexico with the best wishes of the incoming: administration in the United States and there will be no attempt at inter ference from the northern side of the Rio Grande other than such friendly assistance as may be desired by Mex ico. Senator Harding's position has al ready bean made clear to Mexico, where it is generally understood that as leng a3 American rights and lives are respected there will be nothing to fear. Senator Harding's view is understood to be that what Mexico needs is peace and an opportunity to develop her schools and good roads and build up her farms which ha.ve been neglected during the last decade of revolutionary disturbances. Recog nition of Obregon's government is -expected from President Wilspn soon after the inauguration November 30. tEET HERE IN 1921 (Continued from Pate One.) courts with these applications, and in their resolutions the district clerks asked the attorney general to issue a blanket release for all the applica tions, so that they may be heard on their merits. Copies of the -resolution are to be sent to the attorney general, and to the congressmen .of this state. Probate Judges Elect. The probate judges' association this morning elected the following officers for the coming year: President. Judge W. W. Potter, of Marshall county; vice president, Mary Hale, probate judge of Ford county: secretary-treasurer. Judge Wendell Ready, of Sumner county. The legislative committee of the association, appointed this morn ing was composed of Judge Henry H. Van Natta. of Republic county; Ju,dge H. A. Hall, of Barton county, and J-rrdge J. D. M. Hamilton, of Shawnee county. Registers of Deeds. The registers of deeds this morning elected as their president Oran Layton, of Shawnee county; vice president, G. W. Atkinson, oejewford county; eec-retary-treasurer, Mrs. Margaret Hover, of Greenwood county. County Clerks. The county clerks elected the fol lowing; officers: President, J. B. Clay well, of Pottawatomie county: vice president, O. V. Heinshon, of Marion county: secretary. Miss Stella Olcott, of Osage county, and treasurer, J. W. Nordstrom, of Clay county.

A contribution of $155 was raised j among the members of the county ,lti-l' aifititlnn tV: Ynrtfti in ir fur the boys at the state Boy's Industrial school, in which the members of the association are taking mucn interest. The county commissioners, in the report of their committee on resolu tions, came out in fvor of the six year term for commissioners, recom mending that present commissioners elect have their terms extended by the act of the next legislature, to six years. The commissioners contented them selves, so far as the salary question is concerned, by stating that they were of the opinion that the state repre sentatives, state senators and the county commissioners, were the most grossly underpaid officials of the state. Thanks for Entertainment. The county commissioners tendered a vote of thanks to the Topeka Cham ber of Commerce and to the local en tertainment committee for the suc cess of the convention, before electing the following offices: R. R. Brokow, of Brown county, president; S. S. King, of Atchison county, vice president; H. W. McAfee, of Shawnee county, secretary-treasurer. Athletic Show Staged. The Council members met at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night where an entertainment consisting of athletic and boxing features was pre sented by boys from the Boys' Indus trial school, under the direction of Capt. W. P. MacLean, who later made a talk asking the county officials to exert their influence to see that more nearly adequate housing accommoda tions are provided at the school. Following the entertainment at the Chamber of Commerce, the Council members went to the Novelty theater in a body. Legislative Reforms.

GOOD FOR TRADE Price Reduction Ware Test of Merchants' Solidity. 5 Must Get Back to Pre-War Standards Xow. j MORE PRICE CUTS MADE Only Fittest Cwn SurriTe Trial, Says Chicagoan. In Last Sixty Days Collapse Hav Been Disorderly. Chicago, Nov. 19. Reduction In prices- hast increased competition to such an extent that only the "fittest will aurvive" the period of readjust ment thru which the big business of the country Is now passing, James Simpson, vice president of Marshall Field Company, largest dry goods wholesalers and retailers in the world, told the press today. "Every progressive business Is stripped for action," said Simpson. "Every ounce of ability, efficiency and resource wiUrbe put to the test." Simpson said that during the war standards of service in business suf fered but that now merchants of the country re resuming their course of normalcy. Banks Not To Blnmc. Simpson attributed the price read justment to the "immutable law of supply and demand," and expressed the belief that the action of the fed eral reserve banks, by controlling credits, had very little to do with It. "Production of merchandise," said Simpson, "was curtailed during the war to make place for the necessities of war, and it has required the two intervening years since the armistice to catch up with the demand, and in the very nature of things "Muring thnt time prices of a great many commodi ties have been on a mad debauch. -When production increased to a point vhere it supplied the demand the in- i vitable happened a sudden decline 1,1 price of nearly every commodity. Collapeo Is IIsordcrly. "In fact, the world has witnessed during the last sixty days a very dis-. orderly collapse in value of commodi-; ties to such an extreme that retail distributors began to unload their stocks at great sacrifices and stopped placing orders for current warts and for spring of 1921." Simpson said the, lack of orders has caused the closing down of many man ufacturing plants with the result of throwing many out of employment. According to Simpson, If orders are not placed, there will be scarcity of. goods in the spring which will mean enhanced prices. "I am an optimist in business, but realize that the developments- of the last few weeks have been a consider able shock to a large number of busi ness men," he said. "It Is necessary to set our thoughts to the realization, that we are a commercial nation deep in the- combat for business, racing against formidable rivals." 'Even Corsets Tab or Drop. Corsets, rolled oats and roofing ma terials took price tumbles today. The Kabo Corset company announe-' ed a slash in prices from 20 to 25' per cent because of the reduced prices of cotton, silk and elastic. f Armour Grain company reduced the price of rolled oats 17 per cent. Itoofing material was reduced from 20 to 2 5 per cent by the 1'repared Roofing company. SERIES' MEY HELD UP Cliicttgo American Second Prize of $15,000 Still Unpaid. Chicago, Nov. 19.
