STATES OF EUROPE.
Noted Philanthropist Has Asked All
Sovereigns to Assist in Federation.

LONDON Oct. 1.-THE papers today
publish and comment upon as a Utopian
dream a long memorandum which the
author, Sir Max Leonard Waechter, says
he has submitted to all the reigning SOW
ereigns of Europe, advocating a federation
of the States of Europe as a remedy to
the existing alarming situation involved in
the opposition Of d~lsunited Europe to
united North America.
Sir Max, who up to the present time has
been known chiefly as a ph~ilanthropist,
says he Is aware from conversations with
sovereigns and statesmen that his idea is
unrealiazable, but he thinks that in no
other way can the calamity of a European
war be avoided and he hopes that some
thing may come from the ventilation of
this matter among the peoples themselves.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF THE YEAR 1907

In the market letter or a prominent
brokerage house is this enthusiastic
statement OF future prospects:
We believe that prosperity Is abso-
lutely assured for another year. Every

featuring. construction, and mercantile
affairs tells as that he did the biggest
business in his life during 1896. but that
he sees his way clear 10 beat his record
