Hog Island has been n prodigy and

1 The question of the ultimate disposal
of the monumental plant ought not at
this time to obscure the wonder nnd
j, magnitude of its achievement. Ship
', construction records were so often

commonplnce. The sun total of vessels
launched since the Qulstcnncli first took
the waves in Aucust. W. will be 12:1.

CANNY GOVERNOR COX
TRAILS A RED HERRING
He Seem6 to Think Ho Can Dlverti
Attention From Democratic Hos
tility to Equal Suffrage
GOVBIlXOIt COX is a canny poli
tician. He knows when it Is ex
pedient to divert nttentinn from the
shortcomings of his own party nnd to
direct attention to another Issue.
A.-an expert In drawing n red herring
across the trail he has little to learn.
These reflections nre suggested by his
remarks to the delegation from the Xa
tlonnl Woman's pnrty which askt'd hlin
to urge the Tennessee Legislature to
ratify the equal-suffrage ninendment.
He was told by some of the most mili
tant of the women thnt if Tennessee did
not ratify it the Democratic party
would he held responsible.
The Governor hnd not forgotten what
Senator Harding had said a few days
earlier about the progress of ratifica
tion The Senator called attention to
the fact that twenty-nine Republican
Legislatures approved the equal suf
frage amendment and that only six
Democratic Legislatures bad ratified it,

said that there are only two Hepubll-i" w.t ru was foreed to surrender
can (.tntos remnlninn in which no nc
tion has been taken, and that the reason
nctlon is postponed is that the existing
Legislatures were elected before Con
gress had passed the amendment, and
thnt the governors of these .states pre
ferred to allow the people to elect new
lycgiswuiurcs wim rnuiicuinm u uu
isuc in the campaign. In Connecticut
the Republican Mate convention has
! approved the amendment, and in or-
, - -- --- ,V
lature favors it. It is reasonable to
assume that these states will ratify
next winter.
The scetlnu of the country in which
the Democratic pnrty is strongest is
opposed for local reasons to equal suf
frage. Only Texas nnd Arizona of the
states constituting the solid South have
ratified the amendment. It has been
rejected in nil the rest of the South,
save in Tennessee nnd In North Caro

were equal to twentv-nlne Republican

them to study the federal constitution

the election of a Democratic President
because the Democratic candidate be

leaders who for the past fifty years have
ntlaihed themselves to all sorts of
caues in the hope thnt they might find
one of sufficient popularity to carry

not an icjiial-sufTrngc pnrty And never
has been. It has in the geographical
location of its greatest strength peculiar
rcnoiis for being opposed to allowing
the women to vote. The women know
this, and when they bnve finished with

A REVOLT AND A WAR CLOUD
WAlt in South America is infre

arc to th idea of revolution there per

warranted by actuol fnfts our Indiffer

nmong the Latin icpubllcs far to the
south of us is equally habitual and
marked. Vet there exists in South
America ji war root from wblcb new
branches are constantly put forth.
One of them is discernible In the re
cent icvnlution n Ilolivin. which In scv
cral ways differs from "typical" Latin
uprising. The overthrJw of President
(luerrn seems to have been due primarily
to n raw of national sentiment against
n policy which would definitely end Bo

land also the two territories of Tocnn
and Aricn. The fate of the lnttcr,
howecr, was by the treaty of Aucon
to be determined by n plebiscite, to be
held within ten cnrs after tho ratifi
cation. Xo voting on this subject has
ever taken place. The losses of Bolivia
were mainly confined to the cession to
Chile of Antofogastn, but this net left
her a nation without a sencoast.
Since the war bad feeling between
Peru nnd Chile has persisted, nnd
thre.ttB of another conflict have been
frequent. Bolivia, on the other hand,
has inclined toward a pro-''hilean
policy, one of the fruits of which was
the construction by Chile of n railway
running northwest from Alien and pro
viding n diieet line of communication
between La Paz, the Bolivian cppital,
and the Pacific.
But the development of Peru hns
lately exerted a considerable influence
ment, was almost inevitable.

SHIPPING DEAL STARTS NEW
ERA IN GERMAN COMMERCE
Agreement With American Corporation Paves Way to Resume
Trade Relations With United Stales
By tho Associated Press
Hamburg, July 10. As further par
ticulars come to light regarding the
agreement between the Hamburg-American
Steamship Co. and tho Americau
Ship nnd Commerce Corporation, by
which the former German trade routes
nre to be opened to American shipping,
the belief is deepening in shipping nnd
financial circles here that it constitutes
nno of tho most momentous events for
Germany since the wnr.
Through It tho Germans see the
means of regnlnlng touch with tho out
side world nnd nn opportunity for llnm
burg to re-establish a semblance, nt
least, of Its former position as a great
Re-establishing Relations
Apart from the commercial benefits
expected, the Germans nttnch much po
litical significance to the agreement.
This is emphasized by Wilhclm Cuno,
general mannger of the Hamburg-American
Line, who, in an interview with
the Associated Press, declared :
"I call our especial attention to the
fact that the agreement must not only
be considered from a husincbs viewpoint,
but must be regarded as a trial at re
establishing good relations between the
two countries. The wnv we have taken
will be the only possible one to resume
relations between Germany nnd foreign
countries in the nenr future."
Hcrr Cuno stated the Spa conference
supplied the "best proof thnt the co
operation of nations cennnt be effected
by a victorious government dictating de
crees to a beaten government."
Cuno Predicts Success
Herr Cunp said lie was satisfied the
agreement with the 1'nitcd States would
prove a success, believing it would be
the reopening ot pencenu wonting re
lations between tho two countries. It
is understood that there is no founda
tion for reports that American ships
would be placed ut the Hamburg
American line's disposal.
Where the German line will secure
ships enough to ennble It. to operate
50 per cent of the vessels on the loutcs
to be leopened under the ngieement is
a subject of keen speculation. Accord
ing to best information it will bo able
to lease a considerable number in neu
tral countries nnd from Great Btitain.
Thnt a huge shipbuilding piognun
is contemplated not only iiy the llnm
burg-American Co.. but by other Cor
man lines Is evidenced by preparations
now in progress. A meeting will be
held this week between tho principal
HiupiHiiiiiiug concerns aim steel manu
facturers to discuss the amount of ma
terial available in Germany for new
construction.
Arrangements mny be made to Import
Americau steel.
Xow Plant at Hamburg
On the lower end of Hamburg harbor
a new shipbuilding plant which, it Is
said, is destined to be tho largest In
Kurope, is Hearing completion. The
Hamburg American line is one of the
principal stockholders in this concern
which will begin operations within
eighteen dn.vs, ami will i,nve facilities
for quickly doubling its cupneity.
Contrary to belief prevalent in Ger
many that German shlnlmlMI,,,. :,.
fut lo task, as tho bulk of new tonnuge
wl hove to b.e turned over to the
Allies, it is asserted here that the ques
tion of the tonnage Germany must de
liver within the next two years re-
"In, ?." S!'U!('11 !iml tlmt tllu "mount is
still (definitely placed nt "up to 200,000
tons."
Bcforo the wnr Germnn shipyards
turned out ubout 800,000 tons of ' slilii
p ng annually. If the yards succeed in
obtaining credits nnd mnterlalrt enabling
them to resume on their former scaJe it
is believed only a few years will elapse
before Germany again will possess nn
imposing merchant marine. Trade or
ganizations of tho shipping cnmpnnles
are said to remain intact and they have
00,00(1 uneiiiplnjed sailors to draw upon
to man new vessels.

the Hamburg-American Line and the
American Ship and Commerce Corpor
ation have not yet been worked out.
Chairman Benson, of tho shipping
bonrd, said today, but ns soon as they
are the agreement will be mado public.
It is contemplated, the chairman
said, to allow Germany to reconstruct
her shipping trade on a fifty-fifty
basis.
Development of the feymcr Hamburg
American Lino routes by American
shipping is regarded by Chairman Ben
son as n major stroke in placing the
American merchant marine on a sure
footing in competition with the mer
cantile fleets of the world.
SOVIETS ARE REACHING OUT
Vienna May Be Headquarters for
Their Propaganda
Vienna, July 10. (By A. P.) Tho
ngrcement recently reached between
Austria and Soviet Russia for nn ex
change of prisoners apparently enters
into tho diplomatic and political fields.
Tbc text of the agreement shows that
it provides for the establishment of com
missions by each country, these commis
sions to have diplomatic immunity, the
privilege of free wireless communication
In code nnd unhampered travel. It
stipulates also that Austria is to main
tain strict neutrality in wars against
the Soviets.
The agreement is commented upon
by foreign diplomatic experts here as a
posslblo means of making Vienna the
headquarters for Soviet propaganda in
central nnd eastern Kuropc and paving
the way to closer relations.

"Fallure of frlghtfulncss" might be the
title of the report just Issued on the
second subcommittee of tho commission
of Investigation on President Wilson's

report, drawn up by Professor Sins
hclmer. formerly Socialist deputy, in
dicts Germany's mllltnry dictator. for
rejecting a posslblo peace In favor of
unrestricted submarine warfare The
gravest error, it says, was underes
timation of America's resources.
Tho report finds the German public
wns grossly misled and blames those ia
authority for withholding knowlcdiro of
warning communications from Hnniel J
von ilaimhnuscn, foreign undersecre
tary; Franz von Papcn, ex-attache nt
Washington, and others familiar wltli
tho American situation.
A marginal noto by the former

the report reads:
"An end must bo made onco for nil
