The officers surrounded the house and, after closing in on it, smasbed the door and windows, A man, said to be Floyd Carr, was captured there and handcuffed. Mrs. Witherell and her husband rughed into each other's arma Mrs. Witherel *was sobbing. Soon after the rewue the entire party started for Los Angelea ‘The Carrs were sald by the police to have implicated others in the alleged kidnapping. The number varied from five to seven. They were also said to huve directed the rela- tives of Mrs. Witherell to deposit ransom money of $20,000 on a lonely mountain road, promising to release Mrs, Witherell on the roadside so she could be found after payment of the money. Rewards totalling $3,600 were offered for information of Mrs, With- erell's whereabouts.

' International trade is entirely & question of exchange of goods, All parties on thie side of the ocean attribute the recent falling off in American trade to the inability of the European countries to pay for goods in the American dollar at pres- ent exchange mtes. If the balance ©f trade should continue on this side «1 the Atlantic, the chance of equal- jalng exchange will be diminished. So it is thought in Washington that whatever advantages may seam tu accrue immediately out of the pro- posal to fix a definite sum for the indemnity may be offset when tt t+ realized what a suffocating influence the 12 per cent. tax may have on the entire trade situation, UNITED STATES NOW HAS CON- TROL OF GOLD SUPPLY. Moreover, the United States has the gold supply at present, and any plan for the revival of world trade must cantemplate some inducement® to America to buy goods abroad. ‘The Joan purchases altogether.

There is ati a group of thinkers in the American Senate who believe that a simple declaration of peace by joint resolution of Congress will give America all the benefits of the Treaty of Versailles without com: pelling her to accept any of the ab! gations, ‘but international lawy ) say that if the raparations agreement goes through aml is accepted by Germany, the United States will be confronted with an accomplished «| ae and will not be able to change the ag nt except by beginning @ trade war and a system of retaliatory | tariffs against the Allies. ‘The hope here is that the Germans will decline to pay the export tax while accepting, on the other hand, the main proposal for the payment of an indemnity in annual sums. Another interesting phase of the controversy Is that the Allies will have negotjated an understanding with Germany before President Har- ding is inaugurated and has an op- portunity to arrange for a separate peace. Germany will have signed away all her trade obligutions #0 Uhat unless the United States agrees to sign the Treaty of Versaiiies she wil not get any of the advantages of that treaty by a separate negotia- tion with Germany, but with have to apply to the Allies themselves. In some quarters the whole situa- tion is regarded as one of slowly forcing America to take @ hand In the Treaty of Versailles whether she wants to or not, only this time the Allies instead af President Wilson are applyme the pressure through economic tnstrumentalities. ¢ REPAIRS meee Ty Manet srote treat it CORPORATION 224-298, Water Benen ‘Yore City. ‘Nowe OVERCOATS While $5 No Higher Ne Le tt, COHEN A splendi mark in Louis at .
