GERMAN HONOR DEAD AIRMEN
Berlin, April 16. (By Mail)
An Impodng monument in honor of
German airmen who fell in the war ia

Begenatein, a precipitous sandstone
cliff 970 feet high, situated in a „
raantie spot in the Har* region. Field

STEEL MERGER WILL NOT
RESTRAIN TRADE IT j
IS CLAIMED
Washington. D. C. June 8—Deny
ing that the merger of the BeUiiehem
Steel Corporation and the Lackawan
na Steel Company will operate to re
strain trade the two companies ask
ed the Federal Trade Commission to
day to dismiss the complaint issued
against the consolidation by the com
mission on June 3.
Concident with the tiling of an
swers to the complaints by the two
corporations, C. A. deGersdorff, their
counsel called at the Department of
Justice and assured Attorney General
Daugherty the companies were anxi
ous to puace immediately at his dis
posal all facts regarding the propos
ed merger. Delay would seriously
handicap the companies, he asserted,
asking that the investigation be push
ed forward as speedily as possible.
Each company filed separate an
swers to the commission’s complaint,
denying the authority or jurisdiction
of the commission "over the transact
ions alleged in the complaint.”
In the Bethelhem reply, signed by
E. ‘K. McMath, secretary of the cor
poration. it was asserted that neither
the Lackawanna Steel Company, nor
any of competition with the Bethle
hem company, nor any of its subsid
iaries. It was also asserted that the
“carrying out of the agreement of
May 16, 1922. and the operation by
the respondent (Bethlehem), direct
ly or through its subsidiaries of the
properties of the Lackawanna Steel
Company, will not violate the prov
isions of—any law of the United Stat-
The Bethlehem reply admitted
some of the point* set forth in the
commission’s complaint, but took is
sue with the commission’s figures
concerning production of certain rail
road accessories by the Lackawanna
company.
Both companies, in their answers,
took up the commission’s complaint
in detail and answered each allegat
ion admitting some charges and deny
ing others, but ceaching the conclu
sion that the merger would not in any
manner run counter to existing
statutes.
The Department of Justice made a
statement with reference to to-day’s
conference, which siad in part:

ADVANTAGE OF MERGER
New York, June 9—The Midvale-Re-
public-inland steel merger will give
the consolidated concern a capacity
second to the United States Steel Cor
poration and enable It to cut down
the $3. a ton, the differential commit
tee was told to-day by Thomas L.
Chadbourne, the lawyer who negotiat
ed the triple alliance.
Independent? now exist by suffranee
of the corporation because It can de
liver products at a cost $3 a ton under
any of the others, he said. The new
merger would cut $1 from this dif
ferential through reduction in selling
and administrative expenses, Chad-
bourne estimated. Tt would be slash
ed still further through lower deliv
ery costs resulting from better geo-
grahical distribution of facilities, he
said.
If the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company and the Brier Hill Steel
Company had come into the consol
idation. as originally planned, the
combination would have been able
to cut the differential even lower by
building an ore road from the Ohio
river through Youngstown to Lake
Erie to compete with the Bessemer
and loake Erie, owned by the steel
corporation, the attorney said.
But Chadbourne explained be was
not going to make aniy further effort
to get Youngstown and Briar Hill Into
the merger, because he “had had trou
ble enough with three,” and did not
care to “enlarge hie troubles.”
The Lockwood committee enlarged' Thomasville cigars,
them for him by declaring him in con
tempt because he would not produce
expert reports made on the valua
tions of all seven companies which it
was originally contemplated would
enter the merger. Chadbourne said
he was willing to submit the report
on the three companies which have
agreed to merge, hut he held the
committee had not jurisdiction to
call for the report embracing the four
outsiders.
Samuel Untermyer, the committee
counsel, reminded him that one wit
ness who declined to give up data
demanded by the committee had spent
a month in jail for his act hut the
Lawyer stuck to his refusal and wa*
declared in contempt. Then it was
found the subpoena served upon him
did not specifically call for the origi
nal report on the seven companies, so
a new subpoena was made out calling
upon him to produce it today!

MASKED MEW KIDNAP ! AMERICAN NAVY TRYING
COUPLE AT ANDERSON
Anderson, S .C., June 9—Robert W.
Sullivan, secretary of the Orr Cotton
Mills, and Mins Ruby Floyd were kid
naped from an automobile in front of
the young woman’s home here late
last night by a band of masked men
who “gave them a lecture” as they de
scribed it, and dropped them in the
woods some three miles from town
The man was warned not to be seen
in Miss Floyd’s company again, he
told police, but he denied reports that
had reached them that he had been
beaten. He and Miss Floyd and the
latter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd, in
formed the police that the men were
dressed in regalia resembling that of
the Ku Klux Klan and Miss Floyd as-
erted she was positive one of the men
was a negro. The couple said they
would be unable to identify any of
their abductors.
Sullivan, who is about 31 years of
age. was recently taken in custody at
Miss Floyd's home, but no charge, was
made against him. A charge of “dis
orderly conduct” was made against
her, however, as a result of remarks
attributed to her in a conversation
with a neighbor who had complained
to the police She Is about 18 years
old.
The masked band came up last
night in two automobiles and tour
men put Sullivan on one machine
while three took Miss Floyd in the
other and rapidly left town, police
re Informed by Mrs Floyd, but the
only clue they had until the couple
made their way back to town was the
marks of a struggle around the cars.
They were unable to ascertain which
way the cars went.

Stockholm, May 8. (By Mail)—
Swedish cooperative societies flouri
shed last year as they have never done
within the history of the Cooperative
Union of Sweden which was founded
in 1899. says the annual report of
that organization just issued.
In the same period Swedish busi
ness, commerce and industry suffered
heavy losses or at the best showed
small profits. Whether the coopera
succeeded in spite of the world
wide depression or bacause of it i?
hard to say, but the fact remains that
the dismal year of 1921 was for them
banner year.
Sweden at present has about 1,000
cooperative stores, besides many
varieties of other inventures such as
cooperative dwelling and building as
sociations, purchasing societies, large
number of cooperative dairies, far
mers’ societies, seventy egg-selling
organizations, cattle breeding socie
ties and fruit and vegetable growers
ooperatives.
Last year’s report show's that a
net surplus of about $125,000 has
been made by these non-profit mak
ing societies while the cash on hand
has increased from $1,250,000 to $1,-
850,000.

representing small savings of coopera
tive society members.
The central union has started its
own producting plants in several
places. The report states that mem
bers of the cooperative societies are
enabled to purchase practically all
necessities at the lowest prices obtain
able, as well as sell their products
on most favorable terms through
their own joint organizations.
The greatest number of coopera
tive enterprises, the report shows,
are to be found in the big industrial
centers where the bulk of member
ship is drawn from the ranks of
workmen and their families.

TO PERFECT NEW KIND
OF SMOKE SCREEN
Washington, D. C., June 9.—Having
originated the first smoke screen evei
us^d by a navy, the American navy is
now developing a new smoke screen
Instead of the dense black smoke,
used by the German navy in escaping
the British fleet in the battle of
Jutiand, the new-fangled American
screen for ship operations is to be. a
dense fog and made at a considerable
saving of money.
In disclosing the Navy Department’s
experiments with the new fog screen
Rear Admiral Robinson, chief of the
bureau of engineering, told a Senate
committee that it was believed the
fog screen would be even more
penetrable than the old black smoke
clouds. The latter are made by feed
ing too much fuel in the ship boilers.
This, Admiral Robinson said, was
costly, wasting fuel and fouling
boiler tubes In some cases it weaken
ed boiler walls and was dangerous, he
said. The engineering bureau now is
pefecting plans to make the fog screen
by feeding oil above the boilers, just
below the smoke .outlets, and admiral
Robison said the experiments so far
justify belief that the new fog screen
will be move effective and less costly

Atlanta, Gi.
Washington, D. C A decrease of
one-half since 1904 in the death rate
from tuberculosis in the United States
was reported by Dr. Charles J. Hat
field, managing director of the Natio-
nal Tuberculosis Association, at its
annual meeting to-day. This means
for the year 1921 a saving of 100,000
lives, he stated. In 1904 the death
rate was 200 per 100,000. Pre
liminary figures for 1921 indicate that
the l-ate will approach 100.
In Framingham, Mass 1 ., where a
health demonstration has been carried
on since 1916, under the auspices of
the association, the death rate has
been reduced to the figure of 40 per
100,000 for 1921.
“This Framingham figure."
Dr. Hatfield, “is indicative of what
may be done under such specialized
methods and programs of work. Tu
berculosis workers throughout the
country will join with us in being im
patient for a much more rapid rate of
progress when it is realized that in
the United States there are still about
] ,000,000 persons with active tu
berculosis and that 100.000 men,
women and children are dying annual
ly from this preventable and curable
disease.”
Tuberculosis kills almost twice as
many men as women in New York
city, Godias J. Drolet told members of
the association. Mr. Drolet is statisti
cian of the New York Tubercular As
sociation. He said that in the 12
