The cloud that settled over the
American business world with the stag
nation of the commercial activities OF
the United States at the outbreak of the
great European conflict is lifting with
the gradual but sure resumption of busl-
ness of all kinds and the adjustment of
the worlds commerce to the necessities
of the war.
The greatest and most important infu-
ence for improvement has been the par
tial restoration Of international trade,
through the establishment of practically
safe traffic across the Atlantic and
through the Mediterranean, the chan
nels through which the greatest portion
of the worlds commerce travels. The
route to South America has likewise
been cleared of danger, for all practical
purposes.
These achievements make possible the
establishment of markets for the wheat
and cotton of the United States, and,
consequently. have dispersed, in large
measure. the gloom that hung for a
while over the agricultural areas Of the
West and South, and gave conern to
the national lawmakers. beset with pleas
furnish financial assistance for the pro-
lection of the two great crops of the
country.
Plans to Help Shipping.
Recognizing the almost absolute ne
cessity Of providing means for the mar
keting Of these crops, the Administra-
ton leaders. after conferences with the
nations leaders in the banking and
shipping industries, outlined plans dur
Ing the past week for the enactment of
legislation that would establish a mer-
chant marine under Government foster
ing, and secure cargoes through Gov
ernment war risk insurance.
The project to purchase ships with
Fedora! funds is not meeting with uni
fled support. President Wilson Is said
to be bent upon establishing a merchant
marine, and the proposal to enact lesis-
lation appropriating funds from the
Federal treasury for this purpose was
gone over carefully between him and
his Congressional leaders. The Presi-
dent, however, it Is said, would listen to
any other plan which assured the ac-
complishment Of the end at which he
aims.
Private capital is rapidly becoming
interested In the establishment of a
merchant marine. At the Treasury De-
partment several days ago ii was said
that banking interests of two coast cities
already have prepared to finance COM
panies Of s5,0O0,000 each, If the Gov
ernlnent will assist with legislation
Other large financial interests are said
to be preparing to build large fleets
without Government aid.
Object to Federal Competition.

raising the objection that il the Gov
ernment carries out the proposal to buy

Means to Put Yale at Top of

cred the best end in the game, is

OF the pure food committee, submitted
draft of uniform cold storage act.
Hollis R. Bailey Of Boston presented
the draft of a uniform law for work
ingmen's compensation, his suggestion
being the result of extended study of
the practical working of the various
laws now in effect in the different
states.
The practicability of Incorporating
the principle of eugenics into the mar
rlage and divorce laws brought out a
vigorous discussion, and the move
ment met with considerable opposi-
tion. other uniform laws suggested at
today's meeting applied to partner
ships, incorporation, and bankruptcy
Every state in the union is now rep
resented in the commission for uni
formity of laws. The original board
was created by the state Of New York
in 1889 and the other states were I'M
yited to join Perhaps the greatest
question under discussion at today's
session and during the past five years
is that OF incorporation, and the COM
n.ittee which drafted the act suggest
Ell to the convention today, announc-
ed that they had achieved under the
greatest difficulties uniform law
which will answer the purpose of
safety to the public and Justice to the
corporations. The draft win be made
public later.
