The Russian Language.


Charles Sarolea in an article in Lon
don Everyman on Thoughts on the
Russian Language" notes that In its
grammatical structure. as well as in
its vocabulary, it is nearer than any
other living tongue to the older Indo-
European tongues like Sanskrit and
Lithuanian. but that as a written and
literary language, as a vehicle of prose,
the Russian language is almost of yes
terday. 1t is today the dominant Ian
guage of 17O,OOo.O0O of people. Nor
must it be forgotten" he says. that
the Russian is the key to a dozen other
Slavonic languages; that it is closely
allied to the Bulgarian language and
to the Servian language. And. finally.
it has to be kept in mind that Saloniki
or ecclesiastical Russian is the COM
mon sacred language of all the Greek
orthodox Slav nations"

OFFICIALS of the various govern
ment departments which touch the
country's business activities feel con-
fident that the most serious effects OF
the European war on American bust
ness have passed.
The restoration of the credit balance
with Europe has greatly eased the
situation. The increasing demand
from Europe for American food sup
plies ard also the sudden development
of an abnormal trade in articles
needed by the huge armies now in the
field, aid TO that end.
No accurate figures on the contracts
of the latter character are obtainable
but orders for horses, mules, army
clothing, harness and the like have
kept factories and stock men busy.
1t is said that without including
ammunition orders, this business
reaches the total of more than 81, O0O,-
100000. In several lines factories are
straining to their highist capacity to
meet the demands.

very optimistic over the outlook for
the future in this county. He says :
81 believe we are near the turning
point for a full return of confidence
and prosperity in the United States.
| look for ten years of almost unex-
ampled prosperity. We have been
favored by the war as is no other ma
tion. AS example Germany normally
produces from $4,000, 600 tosl5, O00,OO
tons of steel annually of which about
100000 is exported. This is now
shut off and the advantage is in our
favor what is true Of steel is true of
other commodities, but it is not the
war supply trade alone that is turn
ing the tide"
