Financial Outlook In Portugal Causing Political Unrest Lisbon, Auk- 6.?A rate of exchange alarmingly low and prices of foodstuffs exorbitantly high have conspired to make the cost of living in Portugal a serious problem. And profiteering as an additional factor cannot bo overlooked. Several highly placed state functionaries have been arrested and jail-1 ed, chnrged with conspiracy and the holding of secret meetings, which is an indication of an undeiijing political unrest. It is felt in some quarters that a military move ? .t is in preparation, to net in ease a fresh outburst of the turbulent eVsuents i which brought about the poii.i.al as-1 sassinations of last October. The press is clamoring against the i economic condition of the country, and Seculo vehemently c: i. >rts the government to put an c.'d to the speculation to which it chiefly attributes the increasing fall in ex ehange. The Minister of Finaiu > is trying to raise an internal loan :.:.d! has had conferences with several of, thn rrwwt nrnniiiu-nt PnWnmindn 1 > >1.* its to this end. His efforts hav* not so far been successful. One of the factors said t > contribute to the situation is that, although exportation amounts to several million pounds, all this money is deposited in foreign banks instead of being paid out in the country. At the same time gambling in exchange is being carried on in a barefaced manner. In London banks' alone there is said to be over 25,000,000 Portuguese pounds which would greatly improve the rate of exchange if left here. The cons tan* arrest of officers and civilians and; the fact of the troops having to keep within barracks to be ready at a moment's notice, adds to the general unrest. Epoca directs attention to the statement of the British Premier, Lloyd George, calling upon the nations which owe England money to I pay interest charges in October. This! debt amounts to over ?5,000.000, j end the paper asks if the interest! is to be paid when due. ? New Doctrine of I Naturalization Advanced By Argentine Buenos Aires, Aug. 6.?According to information received from Geneva by I)r. Juan Carlos Garay, professor of history in the University of Buenos Aires, his doctrine regarding natural ization will he presented for consideration at the next meeting of the T eaguc of Nations. Dr. Garay's doctrine provides that foreigners with more than five years' residence and possessing any trade or I profession would attain citizenship | automatically, although always re1 tflini*1" ? "? ?' nn+ioiTOlHjr. The fundamentals of this doctrine have been included in the recommendations of a committee report presented to the Congress of the Italian 1 eague, at present in session in Rome under the presidency of former Premier Orlando. The Argentine Association ProLeague of Nations has been deeply interested in bringing the question before the Geneva assembly. The president of this association has just cabled Or. Garay of his success. International Trade Proposed on a Basis of Barter Buenos Aires, Aug. 5.?The barter ef Argentine cattle and meat for German goods is the ba.us of an ad-refert nduni contract rece ntly signed in Berlin between Senor Bartolome Dan < ri. special Argentine commissioner to (entr.'l Europe, acting on behalf of the Argentine government, and the F' uerman Joint. Stock company in Ku'ebaek, representing a German syndicate. The terms of the contract were cabled here to the foreign office by the Argentine minister in Berlin. The essential points of the arrange inent are thaf the Argentine government supply the syndicate with 50,000 head of cattle and 00.000 tons of beei' meat per annum. The arrangement: is to hold good for two years and to be extended for a like period unless denounced three months before the expiry of the first two years. The purchasing syndicate will not. pay for the cattle and meat in cash but in merchand'se which the Argent'ne government would select and acquire. The value of the consignments would he mutually agreed upon on a gold "Peso" basis. A mixed Argentine German tribunal is provided for disputes.

Vast Traffic and Rivar Control System Planned For Central S^tes / Pittsburg, P Aug, A?Stimulated by . im]>ertaufct steel intercsts Pittsburgh and Wheeling districts nnd by agricultural and commercial factors in tb.e niiddle/wcst, ihc uiovement for a waterway to the Gulf of Mexico is' attracting" the attention of city governments and civic organizations along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Steel companies are sTlbwhig their practical interest by shipping ns much as possible of their products in barges to southern points; farmers are urging the creation of a trunk line river system, and city councils are passing resolutions urging their congressional representation to support and government movement the project may have. Already the councils cf Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Louisville Parkersburg and Cairo have taken action, while resolutions are pending Vi.fore the Councils of Wheeling, Cincinnati, Evansville, Memphis, Kansas City, St. Paul, and Minneapolis. Chambers of Commerce In Cincinnati, Pitt bvrgh, Parkersburg, Louisville, Evansville, Memphis and New Orleans have passed similar resolutions. The project is based on plans prepared by the corps of engineers of the United States army calling for the completion of the Ohio river slack water system which is an open river below Evansville; deepening the channel of the Mississippi to six feet between Minneapolis and St. Louis; dredging an eight fool channel in the Mississippi between St. Louis and Cairo; the maintenance of a nine foot channel in the Mississinni from ftnivo to New Orleans, and the opening of the Missouri to navigation between St. Louis and Kansas City. These plans when t arried out, the army engineers say, would give a 2,000 mile water highway between Pittsburgh and New Orleans and one of equal length between Minneapolis and New Orleans. Projects for a canal between Lake Erie and the Ohio River are now beuig urged from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and other points. Congress has alread" made some provision for surveys for these waterways and their proponents are uring speedy derision | as to the best r ?ute and commenco| mont of the work. Coordinate with these river navigaj tion p oposals are projects for stor! ing fl >o(l waters to be released in periods of dry weather, thus affording protection from tlood damages and assuring stream navigation in times ol low w iter. In part, for this purpose Pennsylvania has permitted the Unit, cd States government to enter ant purchase cut-over timberlnnds at tin headwnrtors of the Allegheny river one rf the principal feeders of th< Ohio. The territory thus set aside i; to hr ..J&aaiv" the Allegheny Na tional Forest, and will be supervisee and managed exactly as forest re serves in the far west. One millioi acres h ;ve been aiio'ed to this res ervatlon, of which ab- it -100.000 an now being taken over by the fedora government. Hydro-electric powi r nro'ects in the Allegheny and Blue Iiid re mountains ! of Pennsylvania, West Virginia ant j Kentucky, are also under way whicl | it is anticipated by men experiencee in rivev navigation and flood control will do their part toward decreasing flood risks and assuring full time navigability of th rivers. One of these projects is situated < n the Clarioi ' r*iver. :i trihutarv of the Allocations i in Pennsylvania, an<^ is already undci coiistrucion. tl proposes to inipounc all the water of the river in the season of full banks, and after using it for generating power, permit it tc flow out in dry weather nt a giver , late per day which, it is stated, will ! materially benefit water transpovta lion down the Allegheny and Ohit rivers. During the past year the Ohio rivei has sen the sudden development of a heavytonnage of steel products transported from Pittsburgh and Whce'i, ing in steel barges, to points alon? I the Mississippi and Ohio for local use and for transhipment by rail intc western and southwestern states. The Jones & l.aughlin Steel company has I been regularly sending out a tow of barges once a month, each transporting many thousands of tons of its products at considerable economies in transportation costs. Other large producers or steel have been making use of the Ohio and Mississippi in like manner. Incident to the general scheme are proposals from Ohio river points and from Chicago and other Illinois cities for connections to be made between the great lakes and the river system of the Mississippi basin. Such connections, it is staed, would give this country a system of waerways as freight carriers which could not he duplicated in any other country in the world. Waterways and commercial associations in Illinois are urging that a canal (54 miles in length be out between La Salle and Joliet, which would connect the canalized Illinois li.er with the Chicago drainage ennal and make a direct connection from the Lakes to th0 Gulf, over which, it is laimed, great tonnages of freight consisting of manufactured, agricultural and raw products would soon be moving the year around. The whole scheme, according to close observers, is a unification of hipping, agricultural, flood con'ro', water power and other interests to procure for this country a system of water freight ways, flood control basins, forest preserves and power producing systems which will result in big reductions in the casts of transr | portntidn, "distribution, 'flood* losses.

German Social Insurance p Faces Hard Times j M Berlin, Aug. 4.?Medical treatment a< costs 20 times more in Germany today jii than it did before the war, declares ir Dr. Heinrich Brauns, German minis- c< tor of labor, writing in the current iiumbrr of Reconstruction. Dr. Brauns li calls attention to thi3 increase in con- r>] nection with the critical situation w which, he says, prevails in Germany's b : ocial insurance. 01 Although so far the directors of the d sick funds have been successful in n maintaining the payment of tlx? ben h i fits, the funds aro ' approaching their f< day of fr. ^e." w Medici-38 cost, on an average, 2b it times the pre-war figure, while in it 1014 a chargc of three marks was s] made for a day's hospital treatment. N which now costs 100 marks. According to the minister's statis- Ii tics, 10,000,000 employes are insured under the German Invalidity Insurance system and 1,000,000 under the Private Employes Insurance. ni The Sickness Insurance grants to ai workmen, domestic servants, and ni clerks, whose annual earnings do no: C( exceed a certain limit, cash payments and benefits in kind. The funds re- r sponsible for the payment of these nj benefits are kept up by the contributions of the insured persons and of the 0j employers. w Accident and Invalidity insurances ^ also are provided. These, however, as a] well as the sickness insurance, are being operated today with a great deal of difficulty and highly unsatisfactory results, owing largely to the depreci- p , ation ir. the value of the mark. , 4,It will depend on the value of the ^ mark and on the labor market," the minister concludes, "as to whether the sick, the disabled and the invalids can .

If some legislator wants to do South Carolina a real service let him father a bill to license automobile drivers I upon their age, character and competer.cy. The need of such a law has been well described by the Florida . Times-Union: j An automobile is a deadly weapon j ?deadlier tban a pistol. We have ^ . not he. figures at hand on which to * 1 hasc a comparison but we are con- 1 . fident more people are killed or maim- c , ed by automobiles than by pistols and 0 . that, without any intention on the part ^ ; cf men driving cars. The pistol rarely ^ 1 kills except when the man who has it * intends to kill. The automobile often c , kills when the man driving it would * - give his right arm or his right eye if x i he "'mid call back the damage he has s , done. * I The use of automobiles should be regulated much more rigidly than it is c , now. It is not enough to prescribe s . regulations for passing cars or turn- s . ing corners or to fix speed limits that p , are l'.ot observed by one driver in 10. s It is not enough to license cars so as I1 . to know what owner is responsible for j damage if it is done. It is very fre- ? . ouently the case that the owner is not 1 : in the car at all. Some other member c ,! of his family and in some eases some ? i friend is driving it. c I' cars are licensed and this is proper v .1 but it is of vastly more importance v , that their drivers should be licensed. No one should be permitted to drive a v . car unless he is licensed to do so. If t a car is found driven by a man-who is ^ .I not a licensed driver, the driver and th0 owner should both be fined?the 0 .J on;> for driving without a license and ^ , the other for permitting his car to be ,! driven by one who has not a license. ^ , Of course in speaking of fining the . i owner and the driver we are speaking of condition^ that would exist if driv, ers were licensed. It is not now re; I quired so anybody who can got posi) session of a car may drive it, so far as )Y )' the law is concerned. p ! The driver of a car ought to pass 0 ,.n . ..?i - iic ?... i- ,<iiiuiiai/i>/ii <111.1 pive u rerun- p j rate of character. If he cannot show 31 that hi* is sober and careful he should tl not have a license. 11 he is convicted G i of careless driving or if any accident j happens for which he is wholly or in e, | part responsible his license should be f( taken away from him at least for a time. If it is found that a man ever ja drove a car while intoxicated his li- p] ! cense should be taken from him for a ]a drunken man and an automobile is as CJ dangerous a combination as can be C( conceived. fe j The difficulty is not in getting such nJ a bill introduced, however, but in g *t- rj [ ting it passed. As The Saluda Stand- ij, i.rd say* of the biennial sessions bill, te "rial merit is about the worst blight, that a piece of proposed legislation can have in the eyes of those who jj have milled around in our legislative (1) halls in recent years." The automo- -CJ bile license law would have real merit. It is vitally needed. Anyone who takes a rido this afternoon will feel the m need of it. But it would probably *h hi killed en the ground that it is an in- Ic fringemcnt of personal liberty. Some tyi meatheads think the law should permit infantJT and idiots to drive cars, but would be horrified to see a cock- m cd pistol in their hands. wi lirl Athletes From Canal : Zone; on Way to Paris J Chriqtqbal, Canal Zone, Aug. 4.?A roup of girl athletes from the Canal r?np is now on it? way to Paris for le Intprnaf.ion.al Women's Games hieh opens in that city August 20. ho young women are. giving exhib:- j on games at Havana and Bermuda rid in Spain on the way over.
