spoke on the general situation. He
explained that he had prepared a

phasized BY the European War" but
he had been anticipated by other
speakers so he would simply make
general talk. which proved to be as
interesting and as instructive as any
of those which had preceded

as we'll as any other country" said
Mr. Arnold. the railroads have and
are still doing much Much more
than the people have begun to realize.
The railroads have developed arid
wastes and made towns where deserts
prevailed. There has been much
criticism Of some of the railroads in
recent months. but this Is due to dis
honest officials. All honestly conduct
ed railroads reap their reward. Stock
tobbing and watering of stock are
things of the past"
Mr.. Arnold dweltS at some length
upon the question OF cotton jobbing.
He showed that the salvation OF the
cotton business at this time, was the
financiering OF that project, 80 that the
cotton might be financiered from the
farmer to the warehouse. After that

OF lassitude, slackening OF the fiery
warlike spirit amongst the nations
In arms will be perceptible, the
moment will have come for Presi-
dent Wilson to propose once more
his mediation TO the belligerent pow
ers. He Is then warranted in the
name OF all neutral powers suffering
severely through the war 70 exer-
else strong moral pressure upon the
governments of the powers at war,
which might be more ambitious and
determined TO prolong the struggle
than the people themselves.
"On which side ought this pressure
be brought to bear? ] do not hesi-
tate one moment 70 state most en-
phatically that the duty OF the Uni
ted States will be to stand up during
the mediation, for the weaker part,
to prevent the effort of the victor
ious powers-whoeyer they may be
from entirely crushing the opposed
group, TO strive strenuously for the
maintenance of the balance of power.
For thus alone can be obtained a
lasting peace instead OF an arruistice
with the threat OF new terrible
conflagration.
