REICHSTAG MAJORITY STATES M IDEAS "Peace by Negotiation and Reconciliation Among All the Nations" Washington, July 18. Peace by nego tiation and perpetual recopciliation among nations is the German reichstag majority peace program, according to reports to the state department today. An outline of the program of the majority, mainly center (progressives and social democrats) is reported to be as follows: "On August 4, 1914, the following words were spoken from the throne: W'e are impelled by no thoughts of 'roquest. ' "On this platform the German people tand today as they did when the words were spoken, Germany has taken up arms only in the defense of her liberty and independence and for the protection f her territorial possessions. "The reichstag aspires to a peace by negotiations and a perpetual reconcilia tion among nations. With a peace such as this, all annexation by force and all political, industrial and financial meas ure undertaken by iolence are incom patible. "The reichstag disapproves all plans which, lead to empty isolation and tnmity among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be eenred. Only an industrial peace will jave the way for a friendly intercourse cmong nations. "However, so long as the enemies governments refuse peace on these bases, so long as they threaten Germany and her allies with conquest and force of arms, just so long will .the German people stand together as one man fight ing and perserving steadfastly until her own and her allies' right to live and develop shall be assured. , "In its unity the German people stand unconquerable. The reichstag feels itself to be one with the men who in battle have so heroically guarded the front. The imperishable thanks of the entire people is their portion." This program will be laid before the reichstag for action. Chancellor Michaelis must address himself to it soon. German press comment received here shows no clear note either of satisfac tion or dissatisfaction over appointment of Michaeli3.

Funds withdrawn by preparations for financing this transaction and the July disbursements are returning to this centre, and the situation was further relieved by reduction of reserves of federal reserve, banks from 18 ,to 13 per cent basis; a move which at once released about $90,000,000.

J)e lights with Harmonies and Impersonations An hour and a half of delightful music was the treat given the Chautau qua crowd last nignt by the Smith-Spring-Holmcs company of musicians and impersonations. Especially clever was the interpretation of a mazurka, played by Miss Alma Forsythe, on the violin. Others of the company pleased the audience very much, as was evidenced by the many encores. Clay Smith, with his saxophone, delighted the crowd im mensely, while Miss C'oyla May Spring the impersonator, won for herself a place in the hearts of all. The afternoon program was enliven ed by a lecture from a son ol Old Krin, the Hon. W. 1. Nolan of Minnesota, who gave his hearers nr.ic.i ti::ic;lv uliil- osoptiy and advice. Of course being I jiiuu, ue Knew now 10 in stories, lnueu to the -delight of all. Mention must be made of Superin tendent Sutelift'e, to whose untiring work the Chautauqua owes its success ful season in Salem. He is an English man, and is gifted with a kindly humor which makes him a most entertaining morning hour lecturer. His talks on Van Dyke 's classics are rare- literary gems in the field of criticism.

There is ho question but that these requirements will be easily satisfied, but tho universal waste and need of capital created by the war may stiffen the demand, as well as the rates, for its use. The sale of $55,000,- 000 New York City 4y2 per cent bonds was as successful as could be expected under existing conditions. The prico seemed low compared with previous sales, and was" significant chiefly as "roving higher rates necessary to com mand capital. War Outlook Encouraging Developments in the war are encour aging in the direction of peace. Upon tho whole tho allies are making steady gains; not so nnicn in territory as m the persistent wearing down of the military strength of tho central pow ers, while the allies' strength is stead- ny umiuiHiiieu mm even guuuug. wu cess in this war is not to bo measured so miH-h " bv territory won or havoc wrought, as by tho relative fighting abilities of the two sides. There is no question about which side is in the as cendency and which on the decline. Signs of dissension and even disruption are evident in Germany's present gov ernment crisis, but these should not be taken too seriously. Although Germany is tired of the war and dissatisfied with its recent conduct, tho kaiser's power is by no means broken. It should be remembered that both Great Britain and Frence have had several govern ment crises, and Russia a great revolu tion; but none of these events had any other result than a determination to carry on the war with still greater vig or. It is premature, also, to suppose that the present crisis in Germany I? no? yet conquer adhere they can W, there would have been is no assurance that her peoplo are yet 1 izo them: thus moderating extremes and preventing undue reaction. Jn tlie industrial world a high degree of un certainty has been injected by too many new legislative schemes Introduced into congress. Some of these measures may be wise and necessary purely as war measures; but they are nevertheless disconcerting and unsettling tor the time being. Tho liquor industry has been seriously upset by this prohibition features, thrust as a rider" npou the tood control bill. The last named meas ure will affect a very wide range of in dustries, from the tanner to the retail er. Enactment of legislation for control of export trado, also an act regulating trading with tno enemy, are laws nue ly to lead to a good deal of uncertainty. Business disturbed Almost every department of business is more or less unsettled by these new con ditions. That urices of many articles are excessive is granted. Inflation and high prices are inevitable economic consequences of war. Every effort should be taken to prevent greed tak ing undue advantage ot the situation; but, however idealistic and patriotic we mny feel, and however we may rebel at high prices, the solid fact cannot be ignored tnat nothing cures ine scan-nv which causes high prices quicker than hieh urices themselves. To force prices of copper or steel down to a point thnt might be a fair profit, to the low cost producers would simply result in whole sale shutdown of producers less favor ably circumstanced; thus aggravating a bad situalion bv further shortening of sumdies. President Wilson's criticisms of the shipping industry were doubtless justified and will probably do good; yet were it not for tho high prices which ships command and the protits Instant Postum A table drink that ha taken the place of coffee in thousands of American homes.

One feature of real encouragement was the last government crop report, j It suggested a crop of 3,124.000,000 ! bushels of corn, which almost equals ihe bumper crop of wuen tne price was about 80c, as against nearly $2 now. This enormous increase in the money value of corn will be a power ful stimulus in the west. The wheat crop has also much improved in condi tion, indicating 22,000,000 bushels more than a month ago. The most sensational I gain was in the potato crop, which promises 452,000,000 bushels, compared 'with 285,000,000 last year. All things ! considered, the agricultural outlook is i good. No serious shortages are in pros pect, and high prices amply offset in creased costs of product ion. j HENRY CLEWS.
