8 SAYS MORE SHIPS WELL BE NEEDED ON PACIFIC COAST Latin - American Representa tive Sees Big Need For Expansion San Francisco, Aug. 25. —Shipping facilities connecting this city with the western ports of Central and Sputh America will have to be in creased very materially in the near future, if the business men of the Pacific Coast expect to maintain their trade supremacy in the western section of the countries affected, ac cording to a statement given out to day by Benno Schoch, the Latin- American representative of jhe American Finance and Commerce Company. Mr. Schoch says that Great Britain and other European nations are now entering that field with very strong competition. "The market on the western coast of South America logically belongs to concerns doing business through the port of San Francisco," says Mr. Schoch. "And if we desire to our share of it, we must pro vide immediately the tonnage in ships to properly supply the prod ucts that market demands. Several district lines between Japanese and South American ports recently have been established." A movement to secure more ships for South America through the Fed eral Shipping Board is advocated by Mr, Schoch. TAKE OVER MALMEDY By Associated Press. Paris, Aug. 25.

Market Square Middletown Harrisburg Steelton MONDAY EVENING, WANT TO RETAIN CHEMICAL SERVICE Chemists Protest to Abolish Warfare Branch Philadelphia, August 25.—0n the eve of the reunion of the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States to be held In connection with the ap proaching annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, comes the proposal to abolish a division of the War Department which sprang Into being to meet conditions of the world war. Modern wars will in the future be fought largely with the aid of chem istry as is shown by the testimony of experts in many directions. Al though Germany has been stripped of her fleets and armaments and her army has been reduced to a skeleton, she still retains her enormous chem ical plants which are capable of spreading death and devastation. Her dye plants, as was shown in the war, can be converted in a few days to for the making of death dealing fumes. Despite this condition, it is now proposed to disband the Chemical Warfare Service, and to make what is left of it an adjunct of the Engi neering Department of the Army. Protests against this proceeding are being received from all parts of the cou'ntry, according to a bulletin is sued to-day by the American Chem ical Society.

TINY WARCRAFT, BUT AMERICAN, KEEP LAKE CLEAR Drive Off Bolshevik Raider Boats When They Make Appearance Medvejia Gora, Russian Poland, Aug. 25. —Two tiny American "war craft," a thirty-foot motorboat from the cruiser Galveston and tha 24- foot motorboat from the yacht Yank ton each manned by Yankee jack tars and carrying machine guns and light artillery have been playing an important role in keeping the north end of Lake Onega clear of the Bol shevik raider boats while the Allied land forces moved along the shores toward Petrozavodsk. These boats, which have been re named Atlanta and Georgia, were brought nearly six hundred miles by rail from Murmansk and were the first Allied warcraft launched on Lake Onega. Since then British and Russian craft have been launched. The Atlanta had a close shave a few weeks ago in a fifty-minute en gagement with a large Bolshevik steamer which outranged the At lantic's guns. Some of the shells struck within ten yards of the At lanta which sought safety at the beach maintaining a running fire, but the Bolsheviki gave up the chase. Lake Onega is dotted with bays and inlets wherein a constant game of hide and seek was played during the twenty-four hours of daylight. The American craft were under the command of Lieutenant D. C. Woodard, of Atlanta. Several Amer ican vessels of the North Russian squadron have been at target prac tice in the North Sea.

There the remain ing $41,000 in bonds were recovered, according to the police. Mlllham and Eller were said to have consulted Eicholz about the "Jaunt," and to have "elected" Eicholz to mar ket whatever bonds they might need to keep themselves well provided with "travel funds."

GERMANY HAS BIG DEFICIT IN FOOD SUPPLY \ Must Do Without Coffee For Long Time, Says Cab inet Officer Berlin, Aug. 25. The German deficit in food, the difference be tween the amount produced in Ger many and Germany's normal needs, amounts to 3,600,000 tons of wheat, 1,000,000 tons of meat and 1,000,000 tons of fats, says the Imperial Food Ministry. Immediate payment for necessary foodstuffs with inland re sources is unthinkable, the ministry asserts. Only long term credits can help and the acceptance of such credits is only possible if Germany works, for only then can the credi tors have confidence in paying abil ity of Germany. Immediate decisive effect of the removal of the blockade on the Ger ' man food market is not expected by ' the ministry, but rather a long slow , continuation of improvement which ; already makes itself felt. It de- I ciares that control of export must remain until the average "between import and expert has been estab lished. Germany must make up its mind to do without coffee very largely in the future, says the Imperial Com missioner for colonial goods. Authorities say Germany must sharply restrict her imports of chocolate because of the low value of the mark and must try to rely on her own chocolate, the first pro duction of which is expected soon.
