HUN PERFIDY ASSAILED TV Isconiln Chief Justice Specifies 13 International Law Violations by Germany; Kdnrator Score the t Creed of Some for Profits. CHICAGO. Keb. II. Jrroanjr made a vital mistake when she thought American arms would be Ineffective because, American business men would not support the war. Waddlll Catch Irs. of New York. chaJrman of the Tr service rommtilee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, told members of the National Security Lutut at today's session of the Na tional Service Conaress here. "Business men are a-lvina- their full support by d.d as well as by word. he said. "They has supported the iiovernment In levy ins; hlah taxes . Loa Income tax. the graduated excess profits tax and the numerous excise taxes. They have seen the need of price control and have given their salted support to lt- Trmlaeel Mrs Seeded. "The sons of business men are at tbo front, the fathers seek opportunity f also serving their country. If the material resources and Industrial en- rtrr of the country are to be used to tho extent necessary to give our sol eUera what they need, our trained mea C great affairs must be called npoa to assist tn formulating the great pro gramme and ta reaching ths great de cisions. Mr. Catchlngs address was mads be fore loss persons assembled from every part of the country to participate la ths three days of meetings. His ad dress followed that of Chief Justice Wlnslow. of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, who discussed the "overthrow of International law and what It means to the world.1 Judge Wlnslow specified It different violations of International law by the Germans, dwelling particularly on the Invasion of Belgium, which he termed a two-fold violation, because It abro gated treaties as well aa Belgium's neutrality. Red-Cross chapter at Oregon City that they are being "held up" by Southern profiteers, who are taking advantage of wardemands todouble the price of cotton gauxe. used in making bandages, com presses and other surgical dressings required by the medical corps of ths American and allied army In France. This complaint states that where Red Cross units are not able to get supplies under long-term contracts made mora than a year ago, they are being; com pelled to pay more than double the normal price for cotton gauxe. They attrlbate this hold up to the fact that the price of cotton ia not regulated. It la recalled that when an attempt was mads to fix the price of cotton. especially for war uses, the Southern element In Congress was able to de feat the move. The result Is profiteer ing at toe expense of patriotic women who have offered their services to make surgical dressings under Red Cross supervision for the wounded in France. Mr. Hawley Is advised that similar conditions prevsil elsewhere, but under existing law there la no remedy. I a DIVE IN SHIP TANK KILLS VOITH BOl.XD FROM ORIKVT SCOTLAXD MEETS DEATH.
