LONDON. May 25. (Special Cable.)
President Wilson's injunction to con
gress to provide retaliatory means to
combat discrimination against Ameri
can trade, is viewed by free traders as
America's answer to the spoonfed sys
tern of restricting American manufac
turers in the British markets, and also
its answer to the policy of imperial
preference.
The government has promised
definite policy regarding imports by
September and the matter is being
pressed hard by the. free traders. A
serious fight is developing against the
government's present embargo policy
and the resultant bolstering up of high
prices.
Cnt-Throat Tactics Decried.
Beside that faction of big business
here which sees in American trade de
velopment the worst ogre of the future,
there exists a saner business element
which is aware that the best way to
meet American trade development is
not in trybig to attack American trade
at all angles, but in mobilizing every
business effort to obtain Britain's
share of the after-war trade.
One of the chief spokesmen of the
eaner British element decried to me to
day the bad feeling cropping up be
tween business men in both countries
at the disposal of Poland, which would
be allowed to have its own railway
connection with that city.
LUDENDDRFF ASSERTS
GERMAX PROPOSALS REJECTED
Han Requests Regarding Saar Basin
Held Impossible.
WASHINGTON, May 24. The state
department tonight made public the
text of notes exchanged by Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the Ger
man peace delegation, and M. Clemen
ceau, president of the peace conference.
relative to final disposition or the &arr
basin and disposition of its coal prod
ucts. The question was first touched
in a note by the German delegation
dated May 13 and later was made the
subject of a distinct communication.
May 16. The reply to both notes was
handed to the Germans yesterday.
The text of the notes shows the sug
gestions of the Germans for viva voce
discussion of questions concerning the
amount of coal to be supplied France
and Belgium and the transportation of
such supplies, that the concerns nam
aged in norttiern France participate by
"shares to an extent agreed upon in
such German coal mines as are charged
with the delivery of coal" and that. In
lieu of actual control by the associated

powers a system of economic guaran
tees be instituted. All were rejected
summarily.
To the proposal that shares In the
Saar mines be issued to damagea
French concerns, the reply asserts that
such shares "situated in German terri
tory and subject to German explolta
tion would be of doubtful value to
French holders and would create confu
sion of French and German interests.
The most surprising of the proposi
tions put forward in regard to the Saar
basin is based on an expressed fear
that the surplus of coal over and above
home reouirements would not suffice
for the quantities which the treaty of
peace has fixed, and the suggestion is
made that the consumption of coal in
Germany, France and Belgium be ra
tioned in due proportion.
M. Clemenceau replied "that no ar
rangement of the kind put forward
could give to France the security and
certainty which she would receive from
the full exploitation and free owner
ship of the mines of the Saar."
The only real concession made to the
Germans is to allay the apprehension
expressed by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau
as to Germany's ability to effect the
payment agreed upon.
The concession as made In the reply
is for the substitution of the following
for the present clause governing such
and declared that hundreds of big ' payments in the treaty
manufacturers believe there is room in
the world for both American and
British development without the .adop
tion of cut-throat tactics.
Tory Press Is Violent.
There is a certain portion of the tory
press which almost daily is disseminat
ing anti-American trade propaganda,
declaring that America is trying "to
scoop the pool" by dumpiag an
avalanche of manufactured goods in
Great Britain. This portion of the
press insists on the most rigid of anti
dumping measures.
American business interests here have
come to the conclusion that certain
classes of Japanese goods are admit
ted where American goods are re
stricted. They point out that figures furnished
in parliament last week showed that
Japanese manufacturers' imports dur
ing the first four months of this year
were nearly seven times as great as
in 1914.
Startling Comparison Made.
Parliament was reminded that prices
have greatly increased since the war
began. Nevertheless the increase cred
ited to the Japanese and the decrease
charged to the American manufactur
rs furnished a startling comparison.
Free traders predict a bitter trade
war between England and the United
States if the British embargoes are not
lifted.
"The obligation of Germany to make
uch payment shall be taken into ac
count by the reparation commission
nd for the purpose of this payment
Germany may create a prior charge
upon her assets or revenues upon such
etailed terms as shall be agreed to by
the reparation commission.
If, nevertheless, Germany, after
period of one year from the date of
which the payment becomes due shall
not have effected the said payment, the
may be given by the league of nations
and, if necessary, by liquidation of that
portion of the mines in question."
In replying to the German note, M. book, too, is a sorely sensitive subject.

Austrian Treaty Finished.
The council of four has completed
the Austrian treaty with the excep
tion of financial clauses and the south
ern boundary, on which some details
are still to be straightened out.
Chinese and Japanese delegates were
before the council this afternoon In
connection with the Russian question,
which continues to occupy much of the
councils attention, owing to the pro
posal to recognize Admiral IColchak,
antl-bolshevist leader in Russia.
BERLIN, May 24. (By the Associated
Press.) "The cabinet and Count von
Brockdorff Rantzau are in full accord
with respect to the general outline and
the specific proposals and counter pro
posals which will make up the Ger
man reply," according to an official
statement made today after the return
of Phillip Scheidemann, Mathias Erz
berger and Count von Bernstorff from
Spa. Dr. Bernhard Dernburg remains
in Spa.
Spa Meeting; Brief.
The German answer would be ready
Friday, as the only work that is in
complete is the co-ordination of text
and the technical production of tie
document which probably will be type
written.
The Spa conference, it was especially
emphasized this morning, proceeded
smoothly and consumed only a few
hours, with the result that the under
standing between Count von Brock
dorff-Rantzau . and the delegates ac
companying him, on the one hand, and
the Scheidemann and his assistants on
the other, disposes definitely of all
rumors of serious friction inside the
cabinet and among the peace delegates.
COPENHAGEN. May 25. Dr. Karl
Renner, Austrian chancellor and head
of the German-Austrian peace delega
tion, has addressed a note to Premier
Clemenceau complaining over the delay
of the peace conference in submitting
the peace terms, which he says "is
arousing grave anxiety regarding the
maintenance of the peace and order in
our fatherland.
The note also calls attention to the
expense of keeping the delegation
abroad and appeals to the peace con
f renew to open negotiations as speedi
ly as possible.
BERLIN, May 24. (By the Associ
ated Press.) A. semi-official statement
issued today says German counter-proposals
on the peace treaty would be
presented at the beginning of the week.
Hm JVote Is Outlined.
The document is based on the prin
ciple of the right contained in Secre
tary Lansing's note, and will attempt
to remove the "contradiction In the al
lied proposals whereby Germany's eco
nomic progress Is rendered impossible,
yet Germany is expected to bear the
hardest economic impositions."
The statement - says the note will
make poslttve proposals showing what
Germany can and cannot do, and de
clares the fulfillment of certain re
quirements will only be possible
through community of effort by Ger
many and her enemies.
COPENHAGEN. May 25. (By the As

proposals will include a demand that

BERLIN. May 25. (Special Cable.)
America won. the war, according to
Field Marshal Ludendorff. who ex
pressed, his authoritative opinion very
explicitly to me as follows:
France and England would have
been beaten in 1918 but for America.
General Ludendorff's keen, logical
analysis led to the laconic statement
that "America proved to be the decisive
military factor of the war. he Amer
ican Treserves swung the decision
They alone made it possible to pull the
worn-out French and British divisions
out of the line and to reorganize over
fresh offensive armies."
Ludendorff Stands Probe.
The loss of the war was a sensitively
sore subject about which to question
Ludendorff. The correspondent bad to
be quick about it, like performing
surgical operation without an anaes
thetic. But Ludendorff stood the brie
probe gamely, not betraying a quiver o
emotion. His attitude toward life ap
pears to be stand up and talk of the
past with stoic dignity as becomes an
old soldier.
I gathered the distinct impression
that Ludendorff has no special love fo
America or Americans , but on the
other hand is honest enough not to af
feet a fake pan-Americanism, prefer
ring to regard America as a worthy
foe unfortunately encountered on th
battlefield.
"I have no reason for wanting to
flatter Americans, be said to me, "and
neither have I any reason for with
holding my Just verdict of hate either."
Hope Seen In America.
Bitter as the realization may be to
him, personally, he sees that Germany's
sole salvation perhaps lies in regain
ing the friendship and in not encourag
ing the enmity of America.

occurred if the church had been doing
its duty," declared Dr. Reid. "The war
came as the result of half-baked re-
igion disseminated among individuals
who had closed their eyes and ears and
ceased to grow. Christ was professed,
but his professors had no conception of
the brotherhood of man.
The failure of the church has been
Its failure to properly teach those who
enter the church. After baptism those
who have entered the church in late
years nave folded their arms and mere
ly bided the time when they should
spend eternity in blirs. In reality en
tering the church should be entering
the school where the will of God is
taught.
"Ninety per cent of the teachings
of the gospel have to do with human
relations and the brotherhood of man.
For self-preservation, if for no other
reason, it behooves us to follow Christ's
command and teach his gospel
throughout the world. The year's de
velopments have put nations into our
care. For them we have assumed re
sponsibility."
Dr. Reid explained the Inter-churcn
world movement as a programme of co
operative effort which will not require
organic union of the various denomi
nations. He quoted from the reports ot
the Northern Baptist convention and
the national Presbyterian assembly,
both held last week, to show the atti
tude of these two denominations toward
closer denominational union. He took
for his text the 20th and 21st verses
of the 17th chapter of John, emphasis
ing Christ's plea, "all may be one, that
the world may believe that thou hast
sent me."
This is the true Lord's prayer, said
Dr. Reid. "The one that we commonly
call the Lord's prayer is in reality the
disciple's prayer, but this prayer is
truly the greatest in the world.
"John wrote his epistle some time
after the other disciples had written
theirs, and in it he endeavored to lay
special stress on matters which might
be misunderstood. Christ's reappear
ance is among the messages empha
sized. John clearly states that Christ's
promise of reappearance was not in the
blood and flesh way. but in the spir
itual sense. Thfe burden of Christ's pe
tition is the plea for unity of his fol
lowers in him and he in his followers.
"The church has overlooked this mes
sage in late times when frequent over
lappings of denominational work have
caused jealousy and hard feelings. We
have wasted much in home missions
and in the earlier days in foreign mis
sions. Now has come to the church the
challenge to eliminate waste and com
petition and unite. Union does not
mean union of doctrine, form of gov
ernment or worship, but it does mean
co-operative effort based on the one
great principle of i the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of God."
Dr. Reid was former pastor of Trln-
ty Presbyterian church in ban
Francisco.

the statement of Rev. L. Myron Boozer

here today. "A Colossal Blunder" waa
the subject chosen for the morning
service and its announcement raised a
tremendous furore earlier in the week,
some parishioners threatened to resign
One member had announced he would

the address on the ground of violation
of the espionage act and great pressure
was brought to bear upon the pastor
to abandon his intention. Rev. Boozer,
however, disregarded ail opposition and
his determination was rewarded by a
record-breaking congregation.
In opening his remarks Rev. Boozer
declared there waa no political partian-

fact that Wilson partisians should op
pose a fair discussion of an issue as
Important as that of prohibition.
There were five main points made by
the speaker, first, the executive act was
colossal blunder because it failed
properly to estimate the temper of the
American public mistaking a noisy mi
nority for the sentiment of the ma
jority: second, the appeal will tend to
slacken the splendid efficiency and so
cial stability of the country; third, the
request will be so interpreted by the
enemies of sobriety as to lead to ex
cesses and a Justification of indulgence
in light Intoxicants which the speaker
maintained were as insidious in their
effect as the stronger ones; fourth.
coming during the period of reconstruc
tion, when high morale and finest qual
ities of citizenship are demanded, the
appeal will endanger the proper solu
tion of pressing social and industrial
problems; fifth, that the president in
making this appeal has played into the
hands of America's enemies, the brew
ery interests being involved with the
German-American alliance which dur
ing the war worked increasingly to
promote the success of the central pow
ers and hinder the cause of America
and her allies.

urpted by applause.

WASHINGTON. Many factories

profit, and more than half of them
pay for themselves out or tne goods
produced by workers in training, ac
cording to information collected by the
United States training service, depart

During the Initial stages of training
the individual worker usually shows a
considerable spoilage of materials, and
there may be an actual loss quite apart
from any wages paid, but ordinarily
the worker in training thereafter gains
skill and confidence, so that little ma
terial is spoiled, and it is then merely
a question of adding facility. The
spoilage of material decreases rapidly
and the rate of production shows a
constant increase. As soon as the pro
duction rate has reached that ordinarily
maintained in the factory the operative
is removed from the training room and
put on regular production work.
