RULE IN GERMAN Business and Employment Improving; Two Authorities On Situation Give Opinions WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—Two Congressional economic authori- ties, United States Senator Reed Smoot, Republican of Utah, and Senator Rcbert F. Wagner, Democrat of New York, see business and employment on a slow but sure upgrade. Senator Smoot holds that necessary restoration of public con- fidence is certain when the people realize the bottom has been reached, which he think it has. Senator Wagner, sponsor of the gigantic Relief Bill, reports sat- isfaction at the manner the law administrators are doing their job in opening employment avenues. “It is just a matter of mathematics. If we get two million men back to work it must result in making employment for two million more right on up the line,” said Senator Wagner. Senator Smoot analyzes thusly: “From’ every section of the country there appears improvement in the general business trend. It may take time but I believe it will be slow, steady gains which are preferred to spasmodic changes. Key industries have a brighter outlook now than at any time in the past one year and a half.” SAILOR DROWNS CHINA, JAPAN INLEAP FROM | ARE FIGHTING, SHIP TO WHARF ~ SOMANCHURIA John Drummond Loses Life|Shanghai Reports Claim While Princess Char- Volunteer Forces Are lotte in Port Driving Nipponese Faliing between the steamship SHANGHAI, Aug. 5.—Fighting Princess Charlotte and the whart |between Chinese and Japanese in of the Pacific Steamship Company | South Manchuria is spreading over here this moming, John Drum- | a wider area, according to latest mond, 31 years old, a quarter deck- | unofficial, adyices.. . man with the craft, was drowned.| ~The Chingse tlaim the volunteer He had jumped from the saloon forces are driving the Japanese deck of the vessel to the bulkhead in the Ying Chow fighting and of the dock, a distance of only a other forces have recaptured Tung- few feet; his rubber boots slipped liao, important railway terminal. on the wet timber; he lost his' The Chinese have sent an ulti- balance, and, after a momentary matum to Gen.

EDDIE TOLAN IS IN FOR BIG RECEPTION DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 5. There will be a reception commit- tee when Bddie Tolan, colored sprinter and one of the American stars at the Olympic Games, comes home, and the eyes of the crowd will be on the Olympic champion. But Eddie’'s eyes will be looking for a typical Southern mammy, whose toil at the wash tubs made his success possible. The sole provider of the family is proud of her son and proud of his determination to be a doctor. Shortly before one of his recent races, she sent Eddie a telegram of encouragement. “I couldn't afford it but I had to tell him not to worry about my troubles,” his mother said Truce Is Declared In South War Clouds Lifting Be- tween Paraguay and Bolivia—Negotiations BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 5—The belief that Paraguay and Bolivia are near a truce in the Grand Chaco quarrel is expressed by For- eign Minister Savadra. The Argentian said the truce has been declared pending new negotiations for a complete set- tlement of the controversy which already has been the subject of intervention by the United States and 19 other neutrals. Reports received here show the war cjouds are gradually lifting. ————— R. R. DETECTIVE IS SHOT, KILLED LAGRANDE, Ore, Aug. 5 E. L.

The bears are surprised. A number of traders felt a substantial rally was due but found the market running up the side before they were able to es- tablish their positions. Traders Dumfounded Other traders who failed to get in at the bottom, waited the re- action, dumbfounded as the weeks went by and nothing in the way of a setback coming. Other traders, making a profit in the upswing, lost faith and switched to bear positions losing most of their profits. Weeks ago stocks were forced to low levels by a combination of fear and the outflow of gold and hysteria in balancing the Budget, and disap- pointment at the lack of spring recovery.
