Regulations for tie administration of tit federal act opening up the countrys vast waterpower resources to private development are now being draft, sd. An eoon as they are completed tho waterpower commission, composed of tie secretaries of war, interior and sg- rioolture, will hold iearinge on them. Tie oommifsion, of wiici Secretary Baker iM been appointed ei airman by President Wilsen, will bold its first meeting immediately upea Secretary, Payne s return from Alaska about August 8. Tie hearings oa tbo regulations will be pushed a rpeedily as possible ae that tie waterpower legislation, which has been ten years in the making, ean be put into effect without undue delay. The tentative regulations are being drawn up by a . special committee of the war, interior and agricultural departments. It is composed of Major General Enoch H. Crowder, representing the war department; O. C. Merrill, waterpower expert in the forestry service, who has been designated executive ssoretary of the commission, and H. A. Stabler of the interior department.' Members of tha committee eay the regulations, will be extensive and that they probably will' be announced In aeries with the open hearings on each group before they are made final. Those relating to form and condition of application for survey permit or license, will be the first announced. The most difficult problem involved in drawing up the regulations, members of the committee say, is that of establishing a uniform system of accounting for licenses as required by the act. Under the waterpower bill til is empowered, to lsSce license, for a period hot exceeding fifty years. The licensees will pay the government reasonable annual charges in an amount to bo fixed by tho com mission. Upon the expiration of any license the government, if two year, notice in writ- leg has been given by the commission, will have the right to take over and operate any waterpower development) after payment of the net Investment ef the licensee in th project or projects taken, not to exceed the fair value of tho license s may be caused by the severance therefrom .of property talus. In case where such notice has not bten given the government also will have tho right to take over upon mutual .agreement with th licensee any property developed under the terms ef the bill subject to the payment of tho net investment. cera-mlisi- DROP IN FLOUR.

Buffering. in some of tho largo European cities without doubt, but tbo people 'of tho countries in which these cities an located .are largely, to blame for tho continued food shortage. In any event, the people of the United State are hot called upon to oat war broad or pay extraordinarily high .prices for flour ia order that speculators may reap a rich harvest by exporting foodstuff beyond a certain limit We do not expect wheat, corn and floor to return to prewar prices, but we do expect a decided drop from the present high level which has been maintained for speculative purposes. In support of the assertion that Europe ia not ea badly off, we cal attention to tha fact, chronicled by tho Paris Matin, that Frances harvest will ba so good as to warrant tha country shortly in Improving tho quality of its bread. The newspaper adds, however, that th harvesting will b greatly hampered by tho lack of workers. The agricultural administration is eondict-in- g negotiation, to secure the aid of and Polish imItalian, Czeeho-Glovamigrants. Wo note also that Franco hat yielded to the Argentine government 100,-00- 0 metric tone of the total of 280,000 ton, of wheat, for which tho Fren-government contracted in this country. This wheat will be purchased by Argentina at 80 pesos per kilo with tha tho wheat export supertax .proceeds-e- f k ' 1 reeently put into effect. 'Th, government will use. the' wht--t to decrease the price of bread. It ia estimated the supertax will, net the government a total ef 58,000,000 pesos, of which osly 80,000,000 will be c4d . to y Frane.

The release by tho Ebert geverment ef Doctor Dortea, at the demand of tho allied commission in the Bhigelagd, removes an Irritation which threatened eeriou results Dortea will b r" called' a, the separatist leader who, sOoa after the armistice, proclaimed the Independence of the Rhineland and set up a republic in an interior town. At th time it was generally believed, aad the report never was o f ficially denied by farte,- - that back of Dortea movement was th connivance of the French army commander in tho Rhineland to complicate affaire for th Berlin government. The more German states to separate from th fatherland ths better that, in affect, was tha sup. posed. French feeling-fGerman government, however, has been on Dorten a trail ever since that worthy mad hi exit through a eoal hole ia tho basement of his cap itoi and fled for safety to neutral soil. Recently he ventured into the Rhineland, was captured and taken te Berlin, where ho was held lor trial. Tha Rhineland commission, composed , of British, French aad Belgi,n representatives, held 'that th arrest of Dorten in th Rhineland wa a violation o regulations governing tho occupation ef tbit German region. Also, tha commission held, it was a blow at tha prestige and Dorten1 authority of the commission. release was demanded, and the Ebert government was warned that refusal, to set him free would result in . drastic measures! The Berlin cabinet promptly gave Dortea hi freedom and the incident may be regarded as closed. Dorten in himself is of no especial consequence. He is a German and subject to German laws. The allied commission may not be unduly concerned in hie punishment or' escape from punishment. What was objected to was the taking of Dorten without having first been consulted. Ebert and his ministers giv evidence of good sense in declining to permit this opera bouffe rebel leader to become a possible eause of trouble with the allied representa -- h tives SOME TRADE FIGURES. Eight billion one hundred and eleven represents the total value of all export shipments from th United State daring th fiscal year ended June 30, 1980. The greatest value, ia the history of tho countrys foreign trade. This ia an increase of 8879,000,000 over th exports ef t?,288,-000,00during tho fiscal year 1919, according to official figures issued by th bureau of foreign and domestic commerce department of commerce. Tha import of $5,239,000,000 in tho fiscal year ended with June exceeded 0 by $2,143,000,000 the import of in the fiscal year 1919. Imports in June totaled $553,000,000, as increase of $128,000,000 over Ah 0 May figure of $431,000,000 and more than the imports of in June of last year. One-hal-f of the June imports consist of dutiable articles, the highest proportion of dutiable import in any month sine July, 1911. indicat Preliminary advice that this is due to 'unusually large im, ports of sugars. June exports amounted to $631,000,-000- , a decrease if $115,000,000 from May export of $746,000,000 and lee than the Exports of in Jun of last year. Gold imports amounted to $151,000, 000 and gold exports to $467,000,000 ia tho fiscal year 1980, while silver imports totaled $103,000,000 in value, against silver export, of $179,000,000. It is noticeable that while exports increased by nearly a billion dollar tho increase in imports was much larg-- . er, reaching tho enormous sum of $2,143,000,000. Ths blanco of trade, however, ia still in our favor and it is highly improbable that tho importo into this country will ever equal or exoeod tbo exports million dollar 0 3,096,-000,00- $260K-000,00$293,-000,0- , $297,-000,0- $293,-000,0- 00 VOLSTEAD SCORES. A new twist has been given tho tangle growing ont of tho disputed Minnesota primary election in which Congressman Volstead, reputed author of the prohibition enforcement act, was defeated. A district court baa held that Yolateadi opponent at th primary election is disqualified and that Volstead la tho rightful Bosnia. The disqualification is ordered on tho ground that ths Bov.' X J. Rivals, who made tho rso against Volstead, violated tho election law by publishing a pamphlet ia which ho charged that Volstead was an atheist and that h holds in his wifei name. bis religion defeat in th Immediately after-h- i primaries, Volstead a friends Instituted legal action to hav 'th result of ths voting nullified on tho grounds above stated. Tbo court hold that th reasons for th Action wore sufficient, and u didst Valstead will taad a th for congress In that district unless tho oourt ia overruled by a higher body, to it ia said, will bo taken. whichTappea In all this litigation is seen the bitterness aroused by th activities of tho Nenpartisaa league, Volstead was not defeated in th primary because he fathered th prohibition enforcement act. His opponent,. Hvale, is a dry advocate. On that asor there is nothing te cheese between Kvale and Volstead. The troubl with th congressman was that he did not pleas ths farmer members of the Nonpartisan league ia th district. They act ont to pnnish him for hi backward attitude toward matters of Interest to ths organisation and for hi advocacy of legislation antagonistic to th league. They judged him on what they considered bigger and mor controlling issues than th enforcement of th prohibition law. In tha campaign this opposition wont to extreme lengths and proved fatal to its authors. Dales a higher court reverses th decision which upseta the Nonpartisan league plana to keep Volstead out of congress tbs noted Minnesotan will return NOT YET NORMAL. Confusion of business at tha close of which has continued until the present Urns, ia blamed for th lack of production which has curtailed reserve the war, supplies of almost every element of material used in th building and maintenance of telephone systems. Inability of manufacturer to get supplies and a general shortage of labor are also blamed by the Ameriean Telephone Telegraph company, which reports a shortage ef telephones. For th Bell companies the eountry over there are a total of about 150,000 contracts awaiting Installation. In addition t this ther are considerable numbers of requests mad for telephones which have been deferred for which so contracts hav been mad. Ther never has been a day that there wore no unfilled orders, and statistics show th number in normally 60,000 for th Bell system. In Now York Ckty alone there are now on fils 65,000 applications for of telephone In residences, apartment houses, offices and factories. And there are already about 835,000 subscribers in tha great city.

Other cities reported shortage of instruments, cables, wires, poles and switchboard apparatus, and a resultant increase in ths number of unfilled orders for telephones Among the materials most used by ths telephone companies, and which it has been almpst impossible to obtain, an official said either duo to falling off of production or to poor transporta-tioa-l-ar- o tho following: Copper In 1919, 85,000,000 pounds was used for telephone lines and pounds for making cables and apparatus Steel 18,000,000 Approximately pounds used annually In sheets, strips, bands, structural shapes aud magnet steel.
