with his work.
Would Help Pnrty Chances."
Politicians assort that when the
treaty is7 out of the way, the two old
political parties will begin to spar for
the advantage in the l!-0 campaign,
and if business conditions are Rood,
the Democrats will have a bhow to
win. Mr. Hurley. Democratic leaders
think, would do much to put the coun
try on a line footing in the business
world.
For several days it has been re
ported that the President would name
some quiets easy-going man. without
aggressiveness, to mark time until
March. 1921. but I he Hurley story
came today and swept that idea away.
Others mentioned m connection
with the vacancy to be created by
Mr. Redfield's resignation arc Ed
ward F. Sweet, now Assistant Secre
tary of ''ommerce: Norman Davis, one
or the financial advisers to the Amer
ican delegation at the peace confer
ence, and Clarence M. Woolley, of
the War Trade Board.
Iledfield'M Future Uncertain.
Secretary Redfield denies today
that he is to head a foreign credit
clearing house to bo organized in
New York, but argued that such a
thing would be jolly fine if the
peace treaty were ratified.
"There is no basis in fict," said he,
"for the statement published in a
New York paper today that I have
been selected as the executive head
ofa foreign credit clearing house. So
tare as 1 am informed no such organi
zation exists, no one Is authorized
to extend such an invitation on be
half of any organized body, and no
such Invitation, therefore, has come
to me. So far as my own action Is
concerned, however, nothing further
can be said than was- stated by me
last week that I am considering
several matters which have been .sug
gested to me, none of which has
reached a decisive stage.
"The subject of foreign credits be
ing raised, however, it is proper to
state that the first great need of the
country today is peace. The energies
or our industry and commerce are
choked at the source, so far asthelr
outreach Into the great world is con
cerned, because we are stiy at War
There rises before the United States
a unique opportunity both to servel
the worm and to earn great ana ae
served rewards for itself, but we
cannot take up that opportunity
in any adequate way until wb have

Washington Has Only 48-Hour
Food Supply, Mer
chants Say.
An embargo on foodstuffs coming
I into the Dfstrict of Columbia, because
j ot the many thousands of visitors and
i soldiers coming here next week, will
put Washington in a precarious con
dition. "Washington is only "from twenty
four to forty-eight 'hours ahead of
starvation," declared AVilliam G. Car
ter, of Golden & Co.,v today. "If we
fail to receive our regular supply of
foodstuffs each day. wc shall have
a serious fcituation here. I had not
anticipated that the. movenent of
troops and visitors In the city would
affect the food supply here, but if it
does Washingtonlans will soon learn
how much hoarding prevails here."
At the freight offices of the Balti
more and Ohio and Pennsylvania
railroads it was learned today that,
arrangements are being made not to
seriously delay the shipment of per
ishable goods Into the city, or ship
ments in less than carload lots. It
was said that a delay from two to
seven days on non-perishable freight,
including canned goods, coal, lumber,
etc.. was anticipated.
"I think there is little -ause for
ularm." said Charles J. Columbus:
secretary of the Merchants' and Man
ufacturers' Association. "I am ad
vised on carload freight the railroads
will do their utmost to permit their
coming and goings. I am assured
there will be no interference with less
than carload freight, particularly
perishables."

I've known little Mary for fifteen
years," Wrolen said. "When I was
just a youngster they lived on a farm
adjoining ours. 1 love her better than
anything in the world.
"Tuesday, July 7, I guess it was, my
wife asked me to take her swimming
to Calum creek. While we were driv
ing along my wife turned and said to
me:
" 'Wouldn't ou rather Mary was
with you?" I said: 'Yes, I would.'
"We got' to tho creek and put the
children on a blanket. My wife didn't
have a swimming suit, but put on
some overalls and a Jumper. When
wc got in the water she asked me
again if I didn't wish that Mary was
with me instead of her. and I said I
did. Then she got hysterical and
came toward me, and I hit her in tho
jaw with my fist, knocking her under
(thc water. She came up, but I didn't
make any attempt to 'pull her out.
She came up and went down again
until she had come up three times,
then she didn't come up any more.
"Then I called for help. I told
neighbors that I had been swimming
down around the bend of the creek,
and that when I came back I saw
bubbles coming up on the water, ancH
knew my wife had been drowned. I
didn't s-o Maiy until twelve days
later. Then we derided to run away
and get married, which we did. '
