HARTMAN FEELS GOOD
EXPRESSES OPTIMISM ON BUSI-
NESS OUTLOOK.

NEW YORK, Aug 24.-E. II.
Hartman, who is now approaching
New York after several months sojourn
in Europe, today sent the following
message by wireless to the Associated
Press, in response to request:
ION Board Steampship Wilhelm II,
Via Wireless to Sagaponack.-My condi-
ton is good. ] am going back to Arden
for the after-cure and to regain ten
pounds which l left at the Gastein cure
The condition of the American crops
make the outlook bright and business
conditions for the future safe.
The views l expressed on June /, be-
fore leaving the United States, have un-
dergone no change"
Mr.. Earriman's statement of June 1,
which he now says is applicable to con-
ditions today, says i'll part:
The business Of the country is now
on d very substantial basis. All that is
needed now is realization on the part
of the farmers of the preparations for
prosperity which have been so literally
made. There are now more acres in Gull
tivation than ever before in the history
of the country, and if we have favorable
weather and correspondingly large crops,
l look for happy times.
There will be big burst of specula-
ton and a rise in the prices of every
thing, but these will quickly grade down
from the top to whatever level the crops
will make logical. l shall look to see
the improvement in conditions go on. The
time is ripe, however, for a warning as
to the proper employment of idle money.
We should be careful that this money be
not devoted to the supposed development
of fake projects, but on the contrary
used in the upbuilding of real undertak-
ings resting upon solid foundations.
AS far as the mental attitude of the
public is concerned, we are on a saner
basis today than we were in 1907. If
we keep going up. however, and come
down, it will hurt more after we have
gone up three or four stories.'

quarantine that he was feeling pretty

treaties were in vain.
