DEATHS FROM MENINGITIS

Sir: in your issue Of October q, u

to these ten deaths fear is expressed
by the Health Department that there Z

one death in the corresponding wesf

The Challenge of New Time.

"A Journal of opinion which seeks to meet the
challenge of a new time" is the way Mr.. Herbert
Croly and his colleagues describe their expert
mental weekly, "The New Republic" Yet there
is nothing wild or extravagant in the occasion.
These new hats tossed in an old ring are not so
much defiance as an offer Of friendship and
help. "Come, let US reason together" is the
rather mild and courteous spirit in which the
magazine foregathers with its readers.
We hope that it continues and prospers. By
whatever fairy-godmother such a sincere and i'm
partial vehicle of thought is made possible, it can
be Of permanent value only as it is bought and
read and discussed "The Masses" has furnished
an interesting expression of the extreme l. w. w.
point of view. "The New Republic" seems likely
to speak for saner radicalism, such radicalism
as shoulders in most Of u.s. ready to leap into
blaze before any glimpse of hardship or distress.
There cannot be too much of this frank debate
and the new weekly gives good promise of living
up to its undoubted opportunity.

abrupt decline In foreign exchange:
London cables fell 10 502 Ia and de-
mand TO sol 1-2. These quotations
represent declines of as much as five
in the pound sterling from the highest
rate OF the weektan are. believed to
result directly from an outcome of me-
gotiations between New York city Of
acials and a banning group, which is
said to have agreed to finance all OF

? Call money @ae Gi;rored at 6 Der cent
by the representatives nof. Canadian
banks. which stipulated, however that
fully 80 per cent of the collateral In
excess OF the loan would be required !.
AS these terms were. almost prohibi-
tive little money was loaned at the
6 per cent rate. The market for the
time loans continues nominal around
8 per cent.
Money brokers SEQ no indications of
pronounced' hardening OF the market
unless the foreign conflict Is unduly
prolonged.
