His attendants and friends never ask him what he intends to do, and one of his companions said last night that the prince himself probably couldn’t have told how his evening would be spent. It is a part of his fun to act as the | whim takes him, to do as he pleases | so far as the somewhat too attentive American public will allow. The fact that he was immensely pleased with Will Rogers' jokes last night caused this vieinity “busily to discuss last night a rumor that a New York the- atrical company would be brought here to entertain the British heir without subjecting him to the stares of Broadway. Maj. O. N. Solbert, the prince’s American aide, said that he knew of no such plan. Capt. A. F. Lascelles, the royal visi- tor's secretary, sald that though he had received many invitations to sit in boxes at New York playhouses, it was improbable that he would visit New York City during his present holiday. the | WALES TO TALK MONEY. Financial Secretary Arrives Confer With Prince. NEW YORK, September 5.—Busi- ness will be one of the concerns of the Prince of Wales when he reaches his ranch near Calgary, Al- berta, it developed today when Sir Walter Peacock, financial secretary to the prince for Cornwall, arrived on the steamship Mauretania. Sir Walter explained that Cornwall is the duchy from which the prince derives his chief income. The Ca- nadian ranch with its 4,000 acres, on which the roval heir is raising blood- ed cattle and thoroughbred horses, is not ylelding a revenue to Wales' cof- fers, as all its net receipts are being put back into improvements, he ex- plained. When the prince joins Sir Walter in Canada business problems concerning the ranch operation will be discussed, the secretary said. Sir Walter was amused when asked concerning truth of a recent cable dispatch which maintained that the prince’s investments were so prosper- ous that they would make him Eu- rope's wealthiest king. “Is the prince, then, so wealthy?" he was asked. “Oh, not 8o wealthy, I should say,” Sir Walter replied. -— Cost of Living in Berlin. The cost of living in Berlin for a family of four has increased slightly during June to 37.7 gold marks weekly, rising rents offsetting the de- cline in foodstuffs and other expenses. Wages are relatively stable, averag- ing 64 gold pfennings hourly for skill- ed labor and 48 gold pfennigs for unskilled labor. The Federal Statis- tical Office estimates the present average working week at 51 hours for skilled labor and 64 hours for unskilled labor. June strikes were sporadic and unimportant. to Wife Seeks Divorce. Suit for annulment of marriage was filed, today in the District Supreme Couft by Mrs. Ann E. Marchant against Vincent A. Marchant, a real estate salesman. When they were married at Rockville, June 19 last, the plaintift says, Marchant told her he had been divorced, but she now expresses the be- lief that he had not been legally sepa- rated from his former wife. Cruelty and threats are also,alleged. She asks that she be permitied to resume her maiden name, Ann E. Suter. Attorney Foster Wood appears for the plaintiff, little, right Jittle island, over which the prince some day will reign Teason for Shyness.

Queen Muarie indeed of thy Many makers in tumania modern match n makers, has gone visiting at Buck- ingham in the iast few months, but the prince was “out” most every evening. As a matter of fact, that is one of the best things the prince does—go out Whenever he gets dressed up he always seems to have a place to go. In London, in Paris, on Long Island, it is all the same to the prince. Time was made for slaves. Night time was made for gay young princes, who may have to spend their older years weighted down with the burdens of state and matrimony. The prince is not like the little boy of the nursery rhyme, who hated to go to bed by day. He hates to go at any other time. He is a sort of latter day Chanticler and has to see that the sun is called every morning so the world can go about its affairs. Values His Freedom. The prince knows what the free- dom of bachelorhood means. He knows that his playdays, or rather play nights, would be virtually ended the moment he said “I do.” He knows most of all that an extremely large percentage of his present-day popu- larity is due to the fact that he is heartwhole and fancy free. Imagine the girls making such a fuss about him, about his pictures in the papers, about his boyish freshness and all that sort of thing, if he were married. It is not often, however, that a prince, destined to wear a crown, gets to 30 years without being shack- led. King George fought off the matchmakers until he was 28 and that was a pretty good record in those days. His son already has beaten the old man's record, how- ever, and up to the present moment shows no sign of weakening. But his time will come. To royalty matrimony is just like death and taxes.

If Ignatz Philipps does not buy his landlady a new set of false teeth he will have to serve 30 days in jail in St. Cloud, Minn. Se ruled ~Judge Murphy in court when Philipps was brought up for trial. The affair began, one night when Philipps, said to have been under the influence of liquor, accused Mrs. Paul Cooney, his landlady, of stealing: $60 from him. A heated battle of words terminated in Philipps hitting his landlady om the jaw, breaking her teeth. Forests Prevent Floods. More than 2,122,970 acres of forest lands have been acquired by the Fed- eral Government on the watersheds of navigable streams as a safeguard against floods and to promote the reg- ularity of stream-flow, it is disclosed in a circular issued recently by the Forest Service. The purchase of the land was provided for 13 years ago by the passage of the Weeks law. The Federal Government already controlled large national forests in the West which to a large extent were located on the watersheds of navigable streams there, 50 most of the land acquired under the Weeks Jaw is In the East and South, HERRIOT’S PLEDGE ; TO ARBITRATE WAR | HAILED BY LEAGUE other.

Italy, he declared, favored the pro- gressive reduction of armaments and desired to avold the danger of the formation of rival groups. He ex- pressed the opinion that it would be dangerous for a nation to renounce the force necessary for its own de- fense. Praise From British Side. Lord Parmoor of England said on behalf of the British delegation he wanted to thank Premier Herriot for his great address and the high-mind- cd principles advocated in it. He hoped that concrete agreements would be reached before the adjournment of the assembly. He approved of M. Herriot's insistance upon the necessity of protecting small countries, but he declared equality of treatment would never be obtained if the effort to get it were founded on the utilization of military_forces. Lord Parmoor's remark that singe the Alabama settlement Great Britain and the United States had never had any trouble evoked great applause. MACDONALD STIRS IRE. French Nationalist Press Bitter Over Security Talk., By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 5.—Ramsay Mac- Donald’s speech before the League of Nations assembly at Geneva yester- day brings down upon the British prime minister the wrath of the French Nationalist press. “Pertinax,” in the Echp De Paris, says: “By taking advantage of the feeble: ness of Premier Herriot, he succeeded in July and August in upsetting the clauses of the Versailles treaty deal- ing with reparations and he is now working to obtain revision of the territorial and political clauses. The British premier has revealed himself as the impenitent Germanophile we always suspected him of bein, Stephane Lauzanne in the Poin- carist Le Matin uses gentle iromy. He remarks: “We expected Mr. MacDonald to throw floods of light on the British projects for security and disarmament, but he threw floods of darkness, ac- companied by a few thunder claps, which were : badiy aimed and hurt nobody but the speaker. More than anything else he led his audience about a sky where the clouds collided with each other in crazy abandon.” The writer concludes by observing “It must not be forgotten that Mac- Donald, under the appearance of ideology. hides consummate trickery. Most of the widely circulated new; papers, particularly those inclined to an independent tone, make little or no comment on the speech.

Optimism coming in from the Northwest in such a steady stream that genuine happiness Is written in the faces of the many officials of the Government who have had to worry about the agricultural situation in the last three years. is Because this is a campaign year, there i§ a tendency to discount optimism. The first reports about bumper crops, it was originally thought, might be exaggerated. But the lct- ters received by the War Finance Corporation have continued to be of such a favorable character that no longer are any doubts entertained Many a letter received from responsi- ble sources and well informed bank- ers and business men coincidds with other communications. The simple truth is that these let- ter writers have no political axes to grind. The War Finance Corporation is an agency which lends funds. It already has lent millions. It is the emergeney institution which is con- cerned with the credit situation gen- erally in the agricultural regions. 1f crop conditions are good, the money lent will be coming back Reporix Are Authentic, it is to the interest of the W Finance Corporation not to be de- ceived. So its information may be taken as authentic so far as official data gathered from agents are con- cerned. It is supposed to be a non- political, non-partisan institution And it cxudes optimism today for the | first time in many months. Eugene Meyer, jr., managing direc- tor of the War Finance Corporation, is conservative and cautious in his statements. His latest declaration is that there will be an increa: of over 30,000.000 bushels in the wheat crop of North Dukota. South Dakota and Montana, as compared with 1923. This increased yield was d loped on from 10 to 15 per cent less acreage than before This is perhaps the most significant fact about the agricultural situation. For, while agricultural prices are igh, rclutively speaking, the farmer has produced more per acre, so his financial return is correspondingly greater. It means that even with a drop in prices the farmer would still be better off than before. His return per acre will be greater than last| year in any event ad Weather Abroad. What has happencd in a sense is that favorable weather in America | coincided with unfavorable weather | in other wheat-producing countries. | these conditions continue next | year? Nobody knows. That's the gamble in farming always. But the| bumper crop and the high prices are | the best piece of good fortune the| agriculturists in this country have aad in a generation. It is the s “ession of bad vears which freezes up the credit situation The War Finance Corporation looks forward to a general reduction in in- debtedness all along the ne. Bankers | are writing enthusiastically that thel turn has come and that sections of | the country which were hardest hit | have been particularly favored with | good crops. Corn crops are not so| good as weather conditions have not | been altogether favorable, but 'hr‘i high prices have helped the corn! growers materially. The cattle rai | are not as well off as the others the War Finance Corporation says | vointedly: i An indirect effect of great import- ance to the breeding end of the live- stock business—which may be hoped is the resumption of cattle buying by the Northwest. It is reasonable, in any event, to expect better prices and a broader market for breeding ani- | mals in view of the general trend of other agricultural prices in the up- | ward direction. The outlook for hides has been improving for the past two | months.” 1 Some May Be Hard Hit. 1 The word agricylture is a broad term. No doubt there are sections and individuals still wrapped in pes- simism, but the general trend is quite the opposite. Politics this year, as always, is so much interwoven with the prosperity and materialistic side of the electo- rate that favorable agriculture con- ditions cannot but be viewed as a vital factor in the coming presiden- tial elections. The discontent and re- bellion in the West in the Republican | party has coincided with, if it has| not been caused by, unfavorable farm conditions. Radicalism rarely thrives in contentment. President Coolidge has been told ! that the improvement in the agri- cultural _situation , will not alto- gether eradicate radicalism this year in the West, but it will reduce by large blocks the radical vote of other years, so that the big question is whether the normal gap between the Republican and_Democratic parties in the solidly Republican States is big enough to permit of defections to La Follette and still leave a Cool- idge plurality. The Republican theory is that if things go well with the farmer he will not want a change, because he dislikeg uncertainty. Na- ture is, therefore. the biggest ally Mr. Coolidge's political campaign has won. For it is admitted that a con- tinuance of distressing conditions would have meant serious losses in the electoral college. Instead today there is supreme confidence in the White House that the West will stay regular. | for a little later if not immediately— | [f (Copyright, 1924.)

The conscription of men and women workers started a week ago, con- tinued today in many sections con- tiguous to Shanghai. As a result of the draft, thousands of Chinese have sought refuge in foreign settlements here against the conscripting officers. The Peking government denies the features of the campaign just opened are the primitive and utterly insani- tary arrangements provided to deal with the wounded, and the rapscal- lion type of the Chinese soldiery in- volved, following the usual Chinese custom of putting the least trained and poorest troops Into the front lines. The press gang continues busy here. The work is carried out by sroups of soldiers with ropes and handcuffs, who seize likely Jooking Chinese for military duty, roping five or six of them together and hand- cuffing those who resist. PEKING CABINET NEUTRAL. News Agency Says It Can Neither Stop Nor Encourage Struggle. PEKING, September 5.—The Peking cabinet can neither stop nor encour- age the conflict raging near Shang- hai between the forces of the tuch- uns of Chekiang and Kiangsu, and will devote itgelf to the maintenance of peace "and order within the metro- politan area, according to the Asiatic News, pretending to reflect the atti- tude of the central government. There have been no troop move- ments in North China, the President's office and ministry of war being con- fident that the Kiangsu forces are sufficient to cope with the Chekiang troops without the assistance of re- inforcements from the army of Gen. Wu Pei-Fu, the miljtary chief of the Peking government. MISSIONARIES UNDER FIRE. Women in Shanghai Fighting Rep- resent U. S. Seventh-Day Baptists. WESTERLY, R. I, September 5 Miss Grace 1.
