BANNER MARKET WEEK EXPECTED Trade Conditions Such as to Promise Many Buyers Here In August. PRICES- TO GO UP SOON Prospects that merchandise will be higher in price before long causes Omaha wholesalers to look for a bigger crowd of buyers during the merchants’ market week, August 7 to 12, than they have ever had here be- fore. Advices from the east to local houses are to the effect that even higher prices, than now prevail will go into effect soon. Thus merchants ; out in the state and throughout Oma- \ ha's trade territory will be anxious to get in their full line of fall goods be- fore any rise takes effect; and the merchants’ market week, planned for Omaha in the early part of August, will therefore be just the convenient time for them to do this. Omaha wholesalers and manufact~ urers have completed plans for the week. Invitations have just gone out to the merchants all over the territory, and many acceptances are being re- ceived. In these letters the merchants point out that the crop outlook is ex- cellent, and they have every reason to look for a fine fall and winter busi- ness. ‘,-.1--- Social Stunts Planned. The serious business of the week will be the selecting of the fall stocks of merchandise. But social activities have been planned that will interest and entertain the entire families of the out-of-town merchants; and the merchants are invited to bring their families. At least five big evening functions have been planned. Several surprises are being held in the dark. " Mexicans Suggest Commissioners Meet At Niagara Falls » Mexico City, July 21.—The details of Mexico's proposals for a peacetul solution of differences existing with the United States were made public tonight by the foreign office when a copy of the note sent to the Washing- ton government July 11, was given to morrow morning editions. The note suggests the naming of three commissioners by each govern- ment, the commissioners to meet at ' some neutral point to discuss the question of withdrawal of American troops now in Mexico and the draw- ing up of an agreement providing terms for the reciprocal defending of the frontier by the troops of either nation and the investigation of the origin of the parties who have raided American border towns for the pur- pose of definitely fixing responsibility ior them. [t has been learned from official sources that the conference will be held in Niagara Falls., The names of the Mexican delegates have not yet been made public, but it is known that they will all be civilians, and that the chairman of the commission will be a member of General Carran- za's cabinet well known in financial circles in the United States. It is be- lieved that the conference will con- vene early in August. ! Washington, July . 20.—Further conferences between Acting Secre- tary Polk and Mr. Arredondo will be resumed as soon as the latter is in- formed when ‘General Carranza ap- proves the tentative plan for negotia- tions telegraphed to him last night. Letter Threats Make Women Determined « To March in Parade San Francisco, July 21.—A teapot tempest that looked for a time as it it might keep the San Francisco mem- bers of the Woman's Navy leagu. from participating in the preparedness parade here next Saturday was for- gotten today when several of the members received anonymous warn- ings threatening them with “extermi- nation™ if they persisted in their mili- tary enthusiasm and marched in the parade. One of the anonymous warn- ings was read at a meeting of the league and as . direcj result it was said a plan to withdraw from partici- pation wag abandoned, The women cxpressed Yhemselves as being eager to walk. According to the federal authorities more than 200 of the anonymous warnings, printed on postal cards, have bec.. intercepted at the postof- fice. A few of them escaped the vigil ance of the sorters and were delivered. \ On each card was a message warn- ing the person addressed that a fur- ther display of interest in the Fre ar- edness demonstration would lead to serious consequences and that an ap- pearance in the parade would be fol- lowed by ‘“‘extermination.” ~ The cards were signed “Employes Protective League.” No such. organi- zation is known herc. The postoffiice inspectors are endeavoring to trace the cards to their origin. Japanese People All Celebrate Peace Pact Tokio, July 21.—The conclusion of ~the Russo-Japanese convention, the object of which is to unify the efforts of the two countries to maintain peace in the far East, has been enuthusi- astically celebrated in the principal cities of the empire Mammoth manifestations were held at Tokio, Yokahoma and Osaka. One of the members of a committee of Inspection on its tour of a certain peniten- tiary found himself In conversation with one of the convicts. The latter was dis- * posed to be confidentlal, and thus unbur- dened himself: . “It is a terrible thing to be known by a number instead of a name, and to feel that all ‘my life I shall be an object of sus- picton amorg the police.” “But yo will not be alone, my friend,” sald the visitor, consolingly. “The same thing happens to people who own automo. biles."—New York Times.

All drug- #lsty.—~Advertisement, the .newspapers for publication in to- P Newboks | ENGLAND OR GERMANY. By Frank Har- ris. New York. The Wilmarth Press. $1.00 Here the impartial thinker proves by facts that Germany and France are the first of modern states, and that Engiand has fallen behind in ideals, in laws, in justice, and in fohcy. Here Frank Harris, power- ully and . with great distinction, shows, again by facts, that Germany has done more for civilization in the last twenty years than any state has ever done before, and that its effort has keyed up all human energy to a higher achievement. THE THINGS MEN FIGHT FOR. By H. H. Powers. New York. The MacMillan com- pany. $1.80. The national sentiments and desires of the various warring countries of Europe are emphasized in this book; in fact, in Dr. Powers’ opinion it is national patriotism that is at the roat of the whole matter. From this view- point he surveys the entire European situation, his ultimate purpose being to arrive at an impartilrlnd adequate explanation of the fundamental rea- sons which have called each nation to arms.

THE AMERICAN PLAN OF GOVERN- MENT. By Charles W. Bacon, A. B. Har- vard. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. $1.60. The constitution of the United States, which originally was intended merely to keep the peace between the states as they existed a century' and a quarter ago; has become a sys- tem of administration affecting the lives and happiness of all the people of the United States.

By the author of “Aunt Sarah and the War." New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. 75 cents, A volume comparable to Aunt Sarah and the War from the pen of the author of that book. It is an epi- tome not only of the spirit of Eng- land, but of the United Kingdom. There is a fine strain of kindness and broad sympathy running through the booky and much of foignancy in the ersonal dramas glimpsed through its pages. MAKING LIFE A MASTERFIECE, By Orison Swett Marden. New York. Thomas Y. Crowell Co. $1. Truly a happy subject’is this one chosen by one of our best known authors for his latest book; and we can rest assured, before we have turn- ed the cover, that it is dealt with in a happy way, for Dr. Marden is a dyed-in-the-wool optimist. At the same time back of his optimism is al- ways.a reason, and this book is mere- 1y another case in point. He urges up- on each one of us the necessity of making life a masterpiece, no so much on account of the result as on account of its effect upon our daily life. THE ‘HERITAGE OF TYRE. By Willlam Brown Melony. New York. The MacMil- lan Co. 60 cents. - Mr. Melony presents the whole problem fully and with absolute frank- ness, reviewing the history of the past and indicating the great possibilities in store for this country should the proper steps toward maritime effi- ciency be taken.

By Robert Maxwell :il-;:m. Boston. Sherman, French & Co. The author, an eminent physician, has made a profound study of the problem of pain, in the course of his wide experience and observation and the volume is a practical one in its answes to the perennial question of pain, EVERY MAN MILITANT. By Ewing Raf- ferty, Boston. Sherman, French & Co., §1. This play was written in a rather iconoclastic mood, for the purpose of proving the futility of preserving a fu- ture state of universal geacp..the fal- lacy of the doctrine of the divine right of kings, the absolute dictatprshlr of vanity and greed over the finer feel- ings of man, the encouragement qf war by the munitions-maker and his callousness toward its havoc, and also as a commendation of the church for its disinterestedness and its refusal to espouse the cause of any of the com- batants. THE LIVING VOICE. A dram by Anna Eolfrom, Boston. Sherman French & The theme of “The Living Voice” is that the voice of the dead has a greater influence than that of the liv- ing. In the carly years of life the THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY words of parents, teachers, friends, are unheeded, and youth goes on its own headstrong way. But after loved ones have passed away, those who re- main ponder over what the departed have said and done, and unconscious- ly do the things they wished either to do themselves or to have done. Ofttimes a man’s great dream in life, cut short by an early death and be- moaned by friends, is carried on to greater perfection by some one influ- enced by the words or ideals of him “who, being dead, yet speaketh.” Poetry. POEMS. By Chester Firkine. Bbaton, Sher- man French & Co. $1.00, The death of Chester Firkins last year brought to a sudden end his short and brilliant career as a journal- ist and poet. The verses presented in this volume are a selection from a much larger number which have ap- peared during the last twelve years in magazines as diverse in type as the “Atlantic Monthly” and “Puck,” and in representative newspapers of the middle west and New York City, Both subject matter and method of treatment vary as greatly as do the publications to which the author was a contributor. The‘#ocms range from the highest plane of lyric imagination to the extreme of nonsense verse. They naturally divide themselves into four groups; poems of city life, poems of the northwest, poems of childhood and humorous verse. SHIPS IN PORT. By Lewis Worthington Smith. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. $1.26 net. A book of glowing colorful verse, now vibrant with deep organ tones of | P emotion, now inspired by the wild breath of salt-laden gales that sweep over tumultuous seas, and again, singing of the crackling warmth of a winter hearth. Verse of varied ap- peal and distinctive form. POEMS OF PANAMA. By George War- burton Lewls. Boston, Sherman, French & Co. $1.00 This is a book that was first lived and then written, and that is why the poems throb with swift-running red blood. The verse presents in rhyme that is different tge life-story of a son of wanderlust—the rhythm and swing of which take you captive and bear you along with the poet-adven- turer for a nearer view of the wonder- ful places where he has been and the | things which he has done. WOLF'S BANE. By John Cowper Powys. Robert Rutter & Son. New York. §1.35. In these remarkable poems -Mr. | Powys strikes a new and startlingly unfamiliar note; their interest lies in the fact that they are the unaffected outcries and protests of a soul in ex- ile, and their originality is to be found in that they sweep aside all facile and commonplace consolatiofis and ! give expression to the natural and incurable sadness of the heart of man. FLASHLIGHTS, By Mary Aldis. New York. | Duftield & Co. $1.26. ! A volume of verse, much of it in: the newest forms and of the most| modern tone, together with other | | metrical experiments which show Mr. Aldis’s appreciation for conventional verse, also. ' The collection, in sub-! ject matter and in treatment, makes | a very striking contribution to the! modern poetic renaissance. ‘ Miscellaneous. | PRINCIPLES OF CONSTITUTIONAL' GOVERNMENT. By Frank J. Goodnow. New York. Harper & Bros. 32.00. | The writer is an authority of in-| ternational reputation, who it will be remembered was invited to China by the government to draw up a consti- tution. This book is not only a com- prehensive statement of the subject but it is clearly and interestingly written. It is based on lectures which were delivered in the year 1913-1914 before the students of the Peking uni- versity. The author has been led to publish them in book form because of his belief that they might possibly contribute toward the answer to the question: “What are the essentials of constitutional government?” I ALFRED RUBSELL WALLACE. By James | Marchant. New York. Harper & Bros.| $5.00. | In this book for the first time the interesting and historic correspond- ence between Darwin and Wallace is | given in full. The reader will see not only how each of these great minds traveled by parallel, but independent | roads, toward the momentous discoy- ery of the theory of natural selection, | § but how generous and magnamimous were the men themselves in admitting each other’s claims. The time has now come when at last it is possible to estimate the unique worth and place of Wallace in the history of science. There are also interesting letters with ‘other scientific contemporaries of Wallace, Hux]eyZ Spencer, etc., and communications with co-workers in|§ all parts of the world. 4 LOUISIANA.

KENNEDY MAKES SPEECH Dr, R. H. Girard of Crawfordsville, Ind,, supreme chief of the Tribe of Ben Hur, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the local circle at the Rome hotel last evening. Be- side a large attendance of the lodge, Mayor Dahlman, who later in the eve- ning joined the order, John L.
