today as a result of ther row yesterday,
trailing of the "great Zim" is now
considered likely at any time.
"llciuie Zimmerman is through us a

game. Tinker was giving Zimmerman
some advice when the latter told Tink

el i'ect. Tinker fined Zimmerman $50
and suspended him for 10 days. "He'll
never piny on the Cubs again, as lung as

Manager McGrnw of the (liants made
a trip here from New York yesterday
for a conference with Weeghninn and

New York, Aug. 19. Quite a revival
developed on the stock exchange, the
market being more active and stronger
than for mnny weeks. Directly and in
directly the war again proved the chief
stimulus. The resumptioa of war or
ders decisively affected the munition
group, and the general market stiffen
ed under the success o'f a new British
loan; while railroad shares were visibly
affected by belief that there would bo
no strike. The consumption of ammu
nition in the present cruel war staggers
imagination; but Great Britain now
seems able to supply her own wants,
both as to shells and guns, and inti
mates that she will sooa be ready to as
sist her allies in this respect. Never
theless, both shells and guns are being
consumed upon a stupendous scale, and
bigger repeat orders are coming to
American manufacturers than ever an
ticipated; all of which docs not protend
an early end of the war. Such orders
arc being placed with greater discrim
ination than in the earlier stages of the
struggle, and are going chiefly to large
and responsible concerns whose products
have stood actual test. While new or
ders are being placed upon a better
business basis, and are not encumbered
by such extravagant commissions to
promoters as marked early contracts,
there is still a handsome profit to con
cerns which obtnia these orders and
which, needless to say, mean continued
activity and prosperity for the Amer
icna steel industry iiito 1917. Some
munition concerns are being dismantled
of their war machinery; usually those
whose profits were below expectations
or those whoso output had not proved
satisfactory. The evident prolongation
ot the war means a continuance of big
exports, further imports of gold or se
curities, also additional big credits to
the allies; all of which we can readily
hiuidle, thus pointing to continued pros
perity. As already intimated in these
advices, when the war ends our steel
plants will be occupied for some time in
satisfying reconstruction demands of
F.urope, where ruilroads, industrial
plants, etc., will have to be immediately
restored, particularly in France and
Belgium. On this account alone, many
millions of steel products will be sold
to Kurope when peace is declared.
Strike Seems Impossible.
At this writing, it is impossible to an
ticipate the result of the great contro
versy between the ruilroads and their
employes. The consequences to both
sides of a nationwide paralysis of traf
fic are so grave and momentous thut
u strike is regarded as almost impos
sible, because neither side really cures
to deliberately face the consequences
of nn aroused public indignation. J'er
haps the threatening attitude of the uu
ious has not been taken with sufficient
seriousness; but in uny event, the vig
orous initiative which Presideut Wilson
showed in aiming for a settlement hud
n quieting effect, and was undoubtedly
a prime factor in snving the country
from serious trouble. The difficulty
will probably be adjusted by conces
sions on both sides. Fortunutely the de
mands come upon the railroads at a time
when thex nre fairly able to meet them,
if present volume of tariff is maintain

strikingly than ever that relations be

the final volume of the supply available

of the British chancellor's mobilization

is to receive on deposit for a period of

Crops 10 Per Cent Off.
TTenceforward, financially speaking,
we must look out and not in, and ac
custom ourselves to larger truasactoius
than have hitherto been the rule. To us
the $250,000,000 loan appears to be a
matter of very considerable importance,
yet is small compared with Great Bri
tain's totnl borrowings which, since the
war, hnve reached nearly $15,000,000,
000. Tho loan recently granted in New
York would ouly pay Britain's war ex
penses for about eight days. Iustead of
thinking in millions, we are obliged to
thing in billions.
Following the recent rapid rise in a
few shares somo reaction resulting from
profit-taking may occur, but the geaeral
undertone is good and based upon gen
eral industrial prosperity, which seems
quite adequate to offset a poor harvest.
The general results ia crop yield, not
value, are expected to be about 10 per
cent below last year; aud yet in spite
of this drawback the railroads are an
ticipating a car famine owing to the tre
mendous pressure of industrial traffic.
With big exports ahead, active business
enst of tho Mississippi, ensy money ev

with stock exchange activity. Tho la

Chairman of Party in Wash
ington Quits Because of
Hughes Indorsement
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 24 Mrs. Frances
C. Axtell, of Belli ugham, former mem
ber of the state legislature, today re
signed as chairman of the congressional
union for the state of Washington, now
known as the women's pnrty.
This action was tukea by Mrs. Axtell
as a protest against the women's party
endorsement of Charles E. Hughes.
Mrs. Axtell, who is a progressive and
the candidate of the party for congress
in her district, declares herself for
President Wilson.
"Neither party has stated specifical
ly a declaration in favor of the Susan
B. Anthony amendment," said Mrs. Ax
tell todnv. "We of the west, knowincr
that such amendment must depend upon J
a twp-third vote ot a new congress,
regardless of Mr. Hughes' belated decla
ration for it, advised taking no action
regarding presidential candidates and
devoting ourselves to the coming con
gress. "In this view we were not supported
by the national officials who really
have no understanding of western con
ditions. "Since, to comply with their'request
would mean an effort to return all of
the reactionaries to power and the
western states would run the risk of
losing the ground for which progres
sives have fought, for the last 20 years,
and as suffrage would gain nothing by
so doing, because reactionaries in both
parties nro always opposed to woman
suffrage; and since all that would be
necessary for republicans to do would
be to bbv they stood by the party plat
form and not by Mr. Hughes' state
ment; and since prohibition and womaa
suffrage have bcea settled in this state
on a perfectly non-partisan basis and
in each of the 12 suffrage states there
has-been aa adherence to this standnrd,
I find that I must resign this office."
German Catholics
Would Defeat Wilson
New York, Aug. 23. President
Wilson was criticised tonight in a res
olution passed at the closing session
here of the German-Roman Catholic
Central Vereia for having "preferred
charges" in his message to congress
"against a part of our citizenship, who
heretofore enjoyed the proud distinc
tion of unquestioned loyalty and pa
triotism." Action on the resolution
was taken only after there had been
a heated debate on the question of
the propriety of a religious organiza
tion "entering into politics." The reso
lution, presented by a committee head
ed by joseph Matt, of St. Paul. Minn.,
was as follows:
"Without precedeut in the history of
our country we find the president ef
the United States publicly in his of
ficial message preferring charges
against a part of our citizenship who
heretofore enjoyed the proud distinc
tion of unquestioned loyalty and patri-
uusm.
"We regret this utterance and de
plore its effects, especially- in view of
its general character without substan
tiating facts, as such utterances com
ing from such high sources are calcu
lated to foster unfounded suspicion
and mistrust of a large element of our
American people and imperil their con
siimmattion of a program of social ef
ficiency in our country."
I Alphon-se G. Koelble. resident nf
the Vnited German societies of America,
in a speech urging the passage of the
resolution, declared:
"We have been accused of being false
to the flag, the flag for which we bled
and died. Although I play aa safe as
any one, I am in favor of tnrnimr
against this infamous attack on our
character."
Joseph Frey, president of the Central

the ground that it would be construed
as an attack on the candidacy of the

Greeks Are Retiring.
London, Aug. 24. Greek troops

southward under orders from the Grsck
government, said an Athens dispatch
this afternoon.
The retirement was ordered after
Greek positions had been heavily bom

hours.
The Greek commander in the Seres
region, who prepared for a determined;
resistance, as the Bulgarians approach

by his superiors at the captiul. .

Bulgarian war office this afternoon
claimed further progress in the fighting
near Seres and declared the allies were
retreating along the right bank of tha

ever, admitted that on the allies' left
wing the Serbians have cheeked the
Bulgarian advance by obstinate resist

French war office reported the Serb

some points.
The Balkan operations again eclipsed

fighting on the eastern anil western
fronts.
Gorman Attacks Repulsed.
Paris, Aug. 24. The German at
tacks near Soyecourt, south of tho
Homme, preceded by intense artillery
fire, were completely repulsed by the
French in last night's fighting, it was
officially announced today.
The first attack, by German grenado
parties, was repulsed by machine gun
and infantry fire. The Germans retired
while their artillery, prepared the way
for a second attempt southeast of Soye
court. French gunners laid a steady
barrage fire across the intervening
ground and prevented the Germans
from leaving their trenches.
In the Champagne region the French
repulsed several surprise attacks.
On the right bank of the Meuse,
northeast of Verdun, the Germans bom
barded positions which were recently
captured by French on the Fleury

prisoners on this sector.
French aviators brought down four
German plaaes during the day.
