The noted minister in beginning- his Indictment of the German authors of "terrorism" did not overlook the fact that a Chicago citizen of German origin had offered to pay $1000 for each case of proved cruelty by a German officer. But Albert Fuchs, owner of the Cha . teau Apartments, who made the wager, at the same time declaring himself a "patriotic American," was not present at the meeting. He had refused to at tend after being specially invited. Black Hand Letter Received. Just before Dr. Hillis started for Chi cago he received a "blackhaiid" letter, threatening to blow his head off when he appeared on the platform here, he said. He showed no signs of fear, however. "I am told." lie said, "that a German here in Chicago has announced that he will give through the Red Cross to the family of the victims of German Inhu manity from J1000 to J2000 for each accredited case. Upon the tp.rmn that he has himself announced I would like . to submit the following cases, which could be increased by thousands:" Then Mr. Hillis gave this list: Bane Skewered on Bayonet.

This shooting was heart breaking, as they all knelt down and prayed. A few shots rang out and they fell back into the green grass and slept forever. It is real sport.

PEACE TALK GOES ON Naval Mutiny to Make No Dif ference in Reichstag. SOCIALISTS WITH MAJORITY Solid Phalanx Presented Behind Is sues for Mil i th Centrists and Progressives Stand; Xational Liberal Support Hoped. BERLIN, Oct. 13. via London, Oct. 14. Mathiiis Erzberger, leader of the Centrist party in the Reichstag, which has demanded greater deference to that body from the government, told the Associated Press today that the devel opments of the last week would not interfere with thi majority parties' peace attitude as based on the resolu tion of July 19 or in any way retard the movement for parliamentarlzation. Herr Erzberger asserted that the ma jority, which now is made up of So cialists, Centrists and Progressives, continue to present itself in a solid phalanx behind the issues for which it stands, and that it is not improbable it will be augmented by substantial support from the National Liberals. The fact that the Centrists and Pro gressives did not join the Socialists in the vote on the resolution of censure. and that the Far Left party declined to support the measure creating th post of Vice-Chancellor. does not sig nify an absence of complete concord among the coalition parties in the major issues, Herr Erzberger declared. The Liberal and Radical press con tinues outspoken in demanding the resignation of the men responsible for the launching and collapse of the gov ernment's indictment of the independ ent Socialists in the open session of the Reichstag. Dr. Gustav Stresemann, floor leader of the National Liberals, in a signed statement, accuses Chancellor Michae lis and Admiral von Capelle of failure to gauge correctly the effect of their speeches abroad. "The form and contents of the gov ernment's declaration and its manner of procedure were positively depress ing," Herr Stresemann said, "for friends of the government and a reaction most naturally will result."

Action of Treasury Officials Intended to Prevent Indue Tightening of Money Market. WASHINGTON Oct. 14. Treasury of ficials, concerned over the downward tendency of the bond market as an out growth of liberty loan financing, have determined to take steps to check the shrinkage in grilt-edsred bond values so far as is consistent with Governmental action and sound financing. To this end the Controller of the Currency tonight issued a. statement announcing: that he had instructed all National bank . examiners that they need not require National banks hold ing high-grade bonds of unquestioned intrinsic value and . merit to charge them down to present abnormal figures, but to exercise "an intelligent and con servative discretion" as to the prices at which the banks can continue to carry such securities. This action it is thought, will tend to prevent undue tightening of the money market with the further decline of bonds, a process, which if carried for a considerable period of time, might lead to heavy losses by the in vestors in such securities and to the consequent detriment of the properties upon which they are issued. Similar action was tSkPn by the Con troller at the outbreak 'of the European war when securities values dropped precipitately to lower prices. MINE OWNERS WORRIED ORE WORTH LESS THAN 4 I'KR CENT ZINC RtFlSED BV SMELTER. .Ntir Order "Will Result In Shipping; Copper Orea to Smelters . at Taeoma. VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct. 14. Van- couver mining men are in a state of near consternation as the result of re ceipt of notice from the Trail smelter that no more ores containing more than 4 per cent zinc will be accepted. Practically all the silver and lead ores in British Columbia carry zinc. The smelter used to allow shipment of ore carrying 8 per cent zinc, and above that penalized 1 a unit. Very few mines in British Columbia can ship ore which does not carry at least 4 per cent zinc, unless they are mining pure lead ores. The result will be that not only will copper ores be shipped to the smelter at Taeoma and thus be taken out of this country, but the silver-lead ores will have to be shipped there if the de velopment of the mines is to be con tinued. The effect of the new orders of the Trail smelter was marked at the Van couver Stock Exchange today, where a slump In the stock of practically every British Columbia mining prop erty occurred.
