BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
TIMID CAPITAL IS RECOVERING
FROM THE WAR SCARE.
Encouraging Reports Received by
the President and Cabinet-Peace
Generally Expected Before Long.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 19-Multiplying evil
dences that the great business boom which
was interrupted by the war and the events
leading thereto has set in again are being
received by the President and members of
his administration. These reports. which
flow in from an infinite variety of sources,
are exceedingly gratifying to the President.
The burden of the advices on the business
situation and it's bearing upon military af-
fairs is that war has been eliminated from
the calculations of those who dominate
thought and action in the broad field of
finance. commerce and manufactures. Mon
ey is recovering from the season of fear into
which it was thrown by the war, and is
again getting behind enterprises. The bus
mess situation is described as wondrously
encouraging Bustle is taking the place of
hesitation and stagnation, and the prophecy
is made by leaders in the great communities
that the country has entered on the early
| stages of the greatest period of progress in
its history. Business people are not bother
ing themselves about the way negotiations
are to begin and be carried through. They
have jumped across the dreary plains of de-
tails to the bright beyond, and are planning
as though peace had already been declared.
The only disturbing element Is the Philip
| pine situation, and that does not occasion
serious alarm.
