Although the recent news from Japan
has not been dIsquieting on the score OF the
peace treaty it may be said that the visit
of the British warships at this time will
have an excellent effect in assuring the
Japanese people of the respect in which
they are held abroad in part as the result
of the treaty. The British. quite as heart

Portsmouth as a genuine japanese triumph.

because of it with the renewal of the al

Yesterday by Mr. Vanderlip's address on
1.-THE Business Outlook" Mr.. Vanderlp is
vice president of the National City Bank
of New York, with which the Rockefeller
interests are identified. Mr.. Vanderlip is
regarded as a financial prophet, for in the
bankers convention of 1902 he sounded
warning of the slump that followed. Two
years ago he foretold the revival which has
been in progress for about that time.
Thus great significance has been given on
the stock exchanges and in the brokerage
offices to that part of Mr.. Yanderlip's add
dress which follows:
I'VE can, at the moment, clearly see that,
however prosperous conditions may appear.
this prosperity might receive severe check
should speculative fever begin to rage.
Should stock market speculation start
from the present high level of prices in the
face of the extraordinary demand for CAPT
tai and money which crops and business
alike making, the result might easily
be temporary disaster "A tree never quite
grows to heaven Although there may be
many favorable features to the outlook, it
is no time for prudence to be cast to the
wind, no time for speculative commitments
which would yield disaster if temporary re-
verses came, no time for laxneSs in any of
the forms of business prudence and con-
