Willie Ritchie was robbed. of the decision by the referee, in the opinion of fight fans who saw his four round bout with Frank Harrieau lust night. Kitehie made Harrieau look like a novice dur ing the first, third and fourth rounds. Seven thousand fans hooted the draw decision. One paper here, commenting on the scrap, said "if Kitrhio is a has been, Barrifia is certainly a never was." in the opinion of the fans Kitehie clearly outboxed, outgeneraled and out gamed Barrieau lq the first, third and fourth. In tho second uarrieau showed speed and got an even break, but it j urovcd only a flash in the pun and thereafter he stayed away irom the for nier champion most of the time.

The latest peace movement was futile because, as ex pected, it contained nothing that ser lously interested the allies. It, however, served the useful purpose of clarifying and emphasizing the allies' intentions. i jiu.r iiTiuB a.e now more aer.uiteiy ana " v "4 " more firmly established, and the basis cl runner popular discussion has been clearly outlined. The Central power ftov- rrnmenta must know, if their people do tot, tne main conditions to winch they . must eventually submit. The sooner thev abandon the present nolic.v of self-des- truction, the better for themselves and the world at largo. Tie allies are united , m insisting upon a neaco that means tne triumpli ct democracy over autoc- racy. At present peace appears impog sible because Germany is not ready to accept tho allies' terms, and evidently will not, until compelled cither by an allied victory or a change of heart in the German leaders; the latter being much the more desirable basis of ad justment for all concerned, Germany included. federal Control Disturbes. The wide application of government control over business, which is now be ing so swoepingly put into operation since anssago of the food control law, is necessarily having a somewhat un settling effect.

The res Its of gov- I'mtinii t. control of prices will probably be seen chiefly in preventing too mark ed a rise or too much, speculation or unscrupulous profiteering, which in these times would be a crime. No great decline in values can bo expected through government or any other agency. Tho scarcity of products is worldwide, and all tho governments in the world cannot prevent the natural economic consequences of such a situa tion. Tho only way of bringing prices down is to economize, to avoid waste and to increase the product in every ta 11 13 II fl ti II 11 11 n n n ri if ii ti u n ti n u ii ii n u n ii ti ii ti I!

I Profits of the American farmer this :n u , , , i vear will he nnsirivplv nhpnitmpnn On the four principal crops, corn, cotton, wheat and oats alone, it is estimated that, if current prices prevail, the growers' profits on these four articles will reach $6,000,000,000 more than last year. Probably this rate of profits will not be maintained, though they will re main very high. Other crops and farm animals are also yielding extraordinary returns; the result being that American larmers wlietner south or west, are sure to revel in an unprecedented pros perity, which within a few weektf will be reflected in business activity at home. Here are excess profits ''that would produce an enormous revenue if within reach, but they are practically exempt, because they are looked upon and treatud as privileged class. The gov ernment has already been quite success ful in checking the rise in steel, copper and other products. It remains to be seen whether a corresponding restraint will be imposed upon the profits' of the soil as wen. as those of the mines, of manufacture and of railroads. Disturbes Business.

German Soldiers Ac cused of Grafting By Henry Wood (United Press staff corresponded ) With tho French Armies, July 30 (By mail) A veritable scandal in' the florman army is revealed in official documents taken from recently cap tured prisoners showing that the oc casional munition crises and -shortages from which Germany is known to suf fer aro in part due to the munitions wasted and stolen and demonstrating the seriousness of the metal shortage which Germany is at all times facing. In order that not a Single ouneo of metal bo wasted premiums were offer ed by the minister of WHr to tho sol diers' for returning all used cartridges, shells, and bits of metal with which every battlefield is covered. The premiums offered were so at tractive that the soldiers hit upon the iiiea of takine the hells, cartridges, and munitions served them, mutilating or otherwise destroying them and then returmne the broken bits as so much metal picked tin in the trenches and on the battlefields. Full details of the graft and scandal aro contained in an official circular of the German minister of war, which reads as follows: "It has come to the knowledge of the minister of war that on manv occasions the military author ities charged with the supply of mu nitions have not delivered integrally to' the respective units the quantities received at the shipping depot, but have had recourse to various expedi ents in order to assure for themselves the premium offered for the salvage of munitions.

Hood River reported today that smoke from fires hung over the city like a great fog and that it was im possible to see the sun. Miners ana citizens at wauace, laano fought fire with fire all night in an effort to savo the city. Back fires are believed to have saved the day. The village of Black Rock is threat ened today by one of tho many Yam hill county fires. A fifty thousand dollar sawmill near Sheridan, Or., and two million reet or logs in the mill yards were destroyed by fire yesterday. The fires on Yamhill county land which was selected for Belgian colon ization were reported practically under control today .but elsewhere the fires are defying the men who are trying to check them. The situation, is probably the most serious in- western Montana ana tne Idaho Panhandle. Practically five thou sand men are fighting fires in that dis trict alone.

IMPORTANT STEP IN Chancellor Permits Commit tee of Reichstag to Discuss Peace Note By John. Orandens, (United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin, Aug. 23. Berlin today saw an important step, jn democratic reform as the result of Chancellor Michaelis' first appearance before the rcichstag main committee. All newspapers regard the chancel lor's concessions permitting tho com mittee to discuss the papel peace note as of tar more importance than the sub stance of the chancellor's speech, itself. Most of the chancellor's utterances were merely reiterations of previous outlines of Germany's position Not only did the chancellor grant this participation in governmental af fairs, by the main committee, but he likewise, it developed today, consent ed to the appointment of a sub-corn mittee for discussion of all secret ques tions. "Even if the pope's action is other wise without result," commented the Tageblatt today, "it ha given the main committee an opportunity to ob tain concrete information on proposi tions which had been hitherto with held."

This is just what it will cost the merchants when the present stocks are exhausted. Then Pe- quot bleached sheetings are now quot ed wholesale at 55 cents for ten quar ter and 50 cents for nine quarter. It is no reflection on' one's age to remem ber when calico sold for five cents a yard. That was when cotton was sell in" for eight and ten cents a pound. Now cotton is bringing from 25 to 30 cents a pound and the good old calico of a few years ag is quoted wholesale at 124 cents for American grays and blacks and H cents a yard for shirting.

Robert Bar ron, son of a wealthy salmon packer of Portland, was drowned yesterday in an attempt to rescue two fellow avia tors at the F.ssington Aviation school.

A Can Sleep Street A GERMANY TRYING TO Would Force Holland's Hand Also Denmark's, Amer ican Embargo Felt Washington, Aug. 23. Germany ia bringing pressure on The Netherlands) with a threat to give her no more steel for shipbuilding unless these ships ara used in German interests during tha war and for five years after. Iu addi- tion, Germany has told Holland that sua can have a certain allotment of coal, but if she wishes more coal she must send her own miners into Germany for ii. State department advices today out lining this new German maneuver in dicate that the pressure is chiefly eco nomic. Denmark, too, is under similar pres sure from Germany, though its nature ia uncertain. Germany apparently is beginning to feel the pinch from the American em bargo and is using strong arm methods on her neighbors. The Dutch govern ment is understood to believe that ship yards must close if the German steel threat is carried out, but the messages here do not indicate just how far Hol land will go in opposing the Teutons. Holland has had a strong army mob ilized along her border, which might ba of considerable assistance to Germany or a menace according to the way Holland takes these restrictions. .
