Steady Rise of The Teuton Mark Shows Foreigners This is , The Case (By Aaaoelated Preaa) . BERLIN, July 2. As a result of the steady rise of the German mark, foreigners are discovering that for them Germany is now perhaps the dearest country in Europe. And as the mark strengthens prices - con tinue to rise. For several months German hotels have been forcing foreigners to pay from J 00 to 200 per cent more than natives are charged. Many shops also make a practice of -.mulcting foreigners, some . haberdasheries in Berlin charging 60 cents, American, for an ordinary white collar. Newspapers, learning of the great influx of American tourists to Eng land and France, are beginning to wonder if the extortions of shops and : hotels will have the effect of keeping the Americans and other foreigners out of Germany.

On his right . are grouped soldiers and in the trench below are more of the men in the ranks, looking with min gled astonishment and admiration at their minister of war. The scene is said by critics to be vividly natural, rough and muddy but heroic and full of the color and character of war days. GRAND LODGE OF ELKS CONVENTION IN CHICAGO CHICAGO July 2.

A day behind schedule, and with the hard est and most important of its work still ahead, the . democratic national convention resumed , this morning at 10 o'clock to await the report of the platform committee and , face the . in evitable floor fight over the prohibi tion as well as probably fights over the league of nations and the Irish question. ; : Prohibition Abandoned t ' .- Midnight . efforts to compose the differences over the wet and dry is-' sues in the platform committee failed after prolonged hours of argument, acrimony and oratory, .When all the eleventh hour attempts at harmony were given up it was announced fin ally that all proposals to include any kind of a prohibition plank whatever had been abandoned and the question would be bronght to the open floor of the convention." - ' ' : 1 Last night's disappointed crowds, which had patked the great civic au ditorium from floor to rafters, came for the spectacle of William Jennings Bryan letting off the fireworks early to the convention again today, deter mined not to be cheated of the show by postponement or delay. , Under, the program agreed upon Mr Bryan, will present his side of the question in a speech limited to thirty minutes, and Balnbridge Colby, secretary of state," "will, present the committee manager's side in another thirty minutes, r - That arrangement, however, does not by any&ieans cou nne'the discussion to onehbur.

Robinson also may ' bo heard for thirty minutes each. , Bryan Full of Fight In view of Mr. Bryan's well known fighting spirit and his demonstrated staying qualities no one is bold enough to predict that the fight will be a short one. Bryan's repeatedly announced determination for a platform no wet can run on,"- and his announcement of 'last night, as surred a prolonged struggle, and, even though the predictions of . the administration forces that they would be able "to choke Bryan off" will be fulfilled, there was no prospect, that this would be carried out quickly. Exactly what took place in the meetings of the resolutions commit tee last night has not been fully dis closed, but it is known that when at the close of the afternoon session all prohibition planks were voted out of the platform. Mr. Bryan in a long and fiery speech told ihe committee men that while he realized the ad ministration forces had the votes to put over their program they would do so at the peril of his opposition. Whatever was the full import of what Mr. Bryan threatened, it was sufficient to cause the committee, after being all ready to make Its re port; to reconsider its decision and decide to hear Mr. Bryan at a fur ther session while the convention waited. At this session Mr. Bryan, it is said, continued his attack on the administration forces, who pleaded with him not to pursue a course which, would make for party discon tent and endanger party success in November. Mr, Bryan, however, re ports from inside the committee room said, was adamant, and the ma jority finally gave up all hopea' of conciliating him and decided to face the proposition of an open fight on the floor. McAdoo Strengthens Position With this prospect before it the convention, when it resumed today, faced the possibility of a program that might carry it far into the night session after probably a brief recess for dinner. Whether the floor battle could be ended in time to take up the balloting for a nominee before the convention would have to quit from sheer exhaustion was a ques tion. The McAdoo boomers took advant age of the intervention in the pro gram and continued to strengthen their line-up. Although they had op posed suspension of the rules and the proposition to proceed to balloting ahead of the report of the platform committee early yesterday, they were ready to accept that program last night, but those who had agreed to the idea earlier would not go on with it because the McAdoo forces had been using the interim to strengthen their position. There were intimations of the con vention being packed at last night's session with an eye to the possibili ties of a stampede. Robinson in First Fight. Cox forces, while sure of their delegates standing firm, acknowledg ed they had not been fortunate in making gains, and among the Palmer delegates the McAdoo people were counting on additions to their candi date as a second choice.

Before going on strike, student leaders called upon the government to issue a public disclaimer and de manded that the Peking authorities publish all secret agreements made with Japan. The government ignor ed the ultimatum.- About 30,000 Chinese quit their classes in Shang hai and thousands of others went on strike in others of the fourteen provinces.
