Conditions Arising From,
War Proving Adjustable
Without COP. In Po,Uer

legations relieved the exchange mar
ket from a buying power that might
have carried the rate above 50. Senti-
ment is running so strongly in favor
of closer approach to normal con-
ditions that uptown importers of fab
RIGS and downtown importers of sugar,
coffee and other commodities in New
York city, are practically out of the
market
In response to inquiries as to the
effect of the war thus far on various
lines of business and the outlook for
the future, large number of repre-
sentative New England firms have
submitted confidential figures and
piniOnS to the Boston First National
bank. These, taken together, give a
broad view of prevailing business SEN
timent. The composite result is dis
tnctly optimistic, according to a sum-
mary contained in the banks New
England Letter" just available. The
principal industries consulted were
textiles, Jewelry, fertilizers, chemicals,
spices, paper. office supplies, confec-
uonery, pianos, paints, machinery
equipment, leather and shoes Certain
interesting facts are brought out
First, since early August there has been
no general marked decrease in oper-
ating capacity; obviously a few lines
are for the moment restricting output
but this is Overbalanced by increases
in activity in other directions. There
is a strong disposition to keep labor
employed even in the absence of profit
and a desire to keep organizations in
tact to meet a future demand. which
manufacturers-alm without eXcep-
tiOn-belieVe is soon forthcoming.
Again, the widely heralded cancella-
tons Of orders were actually small in
volume, disappeared after the first
few days of the war and in many
cases have since been reinstated. Not
only that, but the volume of orders
has held up to a remarkable degree
during the first six weeks of the war.
In general the consensus Of opin-
ion seems 10 be that New Englands
great shop is shortly to be very ac-
lively engaged, not only in meeting
demands usually made upon it, but
also in partially supplying that mar
ket, both domestic and foreign, here
tofore held by the nations now at war.

SAYS GET SIX SHOOTER.

Editor News-Tmes: The citizens Of
South Bend at the present time are
being annoyed with boy burglars, who
without question few years ago Che
fore our picture shows were censored
so thoroughly learned how to open
houses and commit robberies, and the
result is that we have quite a crop
of youthful burglars.
The way to stop this is for every
householder to possess a good six
shooter and carefully shoot and main
some three or four of these boys so
that they will not forget the shot
These boy burglars very well know
that even if caught and punished
their punishment will very largely
consist in a short term in the re-
fOrmatOry or some wholesome ad-
monitions from those in authority,
hence the law is not much Of d ter
rOr TO them. 1t is a well-known fact
that our laws in this country are so
slackly administered that there are
fifteen times as many murders TO the
million in the United States as in any
other country in the world. We muir
der 90 TO the million every year,
while in Canada there are only six or
seven 10 the million. The murderer
knows that everything is in his favor,
as Go all other law breakers, includ-
ing boys.
If there were more boys shot, not
killed and a great many more Of our
murderers hung. there would be few
er crimes committed.

Despite the probability that the Eu'
rOpean war will continue indefinitely,
it is now agreed that commercial con-
ditions in this country are rapidly inn
proving and that the outlook for bust
ness generally is very bright.
Very much greater confidence is felt
here" says a Washington dispatch to
the New York Journal Of Commerce,
lin the prospect regarding the rectif-
cation OF the general commercial sit
uatiOn. The one thing which, more
than any other, is deemed to show a
return of normal conditions is the re-
sumption of cotton exports actually in
progress or about to go. The move
ment already amounts to more than
1000 bales, according TO statements
transmitted to foreign trade authori-
ties here. That this movement, if con-
tinued, will result in enlarging the
balances in favor Of the United States.
and will consequently greatly allie
viate the foreign exchange situation,
is fully believed and predicted.
1T is probable that within a short
time, according TO the best-infOrmed
men, the exchange situation will thus
become very much more nearly nor
NAL, and as a result, one phase of the
present difficulties will be eliminated
from further consideration.
improvement in the near future is
predicted not only in cotton but also
in a number Of other lines on the
strength of the information which
had been received here during the
past day or two. The reports from the
northwest seem to show that condi-
tiOns there are most satisfactory and
that the sales of grain are already
realizing active cash returns much
beyond the expectations Of growers
earlier in the season Manufactured
exports and imports are expected to
continue small for a good while, al
though If the beginning of peace ne
gotiatiOns can be fastened. it is be-
lieved that an almost immediate re-
vival of trade Will be enjoyed"
In New York foreign exchange is
steadily dropping. The exchange mar
ket is now being regulated by Anat-
ural order Of supply and dema and

THERE is a primitive note in the
modern means of getting men to-
gether and enlisting their interest
and sympathies in a common cause.
The noon luncheon is primarily an
appeal to two closely related human
elements, the stomach and the social
instinct and yet they are mainly a
means TO an end.
IF the door to a mans heart is his
stomach, which is generally accepted
as true, il means that is leads to the
best that is in him, which is saying
more for the stomach than the purely
animal character Of its functions
would seem to warrant We should
reflect, however, that first impress
siOns are sometimes deceptive.

sUGARING THE CAMPAIGN DOSE

They have broken down our sugar
industry"
The above is line from the speech
to the republican state convention
made by Temporary Chairman Kin
name. The context was a denuncia-
ton of the Underwood tariff law as
colossal national blunder TEMPORARY
" mitigated by the accident of war,
and the affirmation that lit is safe
proposition" that every one of the
sugar factories in the United States
will have gone out Of business by the
first of next May. when beet sugar
will be on the free list"
Beet sugar will not be on the free
list by the first of next May; not till
the first of May. 1916; but a little slip
like that need not be advanced against
a campaign argument. if the argu-
ment itself is good. rs the "argu-
ment" that the democrats have
broken down our sugar industry"
good in the face of the facts of pro-
duction. consumption and price?
Chairman Kinnane in his speech,
deals with futures Let that be the
domain of the argument. He spoke
through the convention TO Michigan
beet growers and sugar manufacturers
and sugar consumers. Contine con-
sideratiOn of his assertion 10 Michi-
gan.
AS regards production, beet sugar
makers possibly needless Of the ext
gencies of political campaigns, have
themselves reported a campaign under
way which. in their own phrase, will
greatly increase the beet acreage
next season. They have made il
known that they have provided for
this by LAYING in the necessary sup
ply of seed. and they are making con-
tracts TO an extent to conform with
the acreage prospect. Perhaps more
significant is the fact that. since the
war began, and in spite of the fact
that sugar goes on the free list May
!, 1915. they are making extraordinary
exertions TO provide seed for the
campaign. Aug. II last they gave out
the information that they were send
ing 10 Europe a man commissioned to
buy up seed.
1t will not appear 20 the average
citizen interested merely in sugar as
sugar. and not as a political ingredient
that the Michigan factories at least,
believe that lit is a safe proposition
that they will all be out of business
next May because OF the Underwood
tariff.
The householder who lately paid
four to five cents a pound for sugar
and now pays eight to nine cents be-
cause of shortage OF supply, will
wonder at the threat to close the fac
tories He may reason in darkness
and with distortion of logic. but he
will be OF the strong suspicion that
free" sugar. when il comes. in the
comparatively remote future, will
/ have been fairly well paid for in ad-
vance and by himself.
IL is safe 10 say that neither the
/ farmer who grows the beets nor the
householder who buys the sugar will
/ believe that the sugar business in
| Michigan. nor in the country al large.
I has been adversely affected by the
/ Underwood act. There is no real evil
dence as yet that the tariff makers at
washington have broken down our
sugar industry. Detroit News.

MAINE AND PRES WILSON


The administration and the demo-
cratic majority in congress should be
cheered and comforted greatly by the
result of the election in the only state
voting before November. The presi-
dent in particular is warranted In re-
garding the democratic victory as a
direct vote of confidence.
Notwithstanding the return of many
thousands Of republicans to the regu-
lar republican ranks the Wilson demo-
Gratis carried the state for governor
and reelected by greatly increased
plurality the only Maine congressman
of the presidents party. The result
in the second district is especially
significant when the circumstances are
considered. This is the Staunch old
republican territory represented for
many years by Nelson Dingley, jr., and
later by Charles +. Littlefeld. With
the manufacturing interests of Lewis
ton and the shipbuilding interests of
Bath, the second district seemed per-
haps the most likely place in the
Union where the prOtectionist reac-
ton would begin and the protest
would earliest heard against much
that the Esd congress has done to the
tariff and in the way of actual or pro-
posed legislation affecting shipbuild-
ing. Mr.. McGilicuddy's seat was
contested this year by Harold NJ.

bility and prestige. No candidate
could have put the case more effect

| 100000 BRITIShERS ARE
STILL playing FOOTBALL
Crowds at Matches Even Bigger Than
the Worlds Baseball Series At
tracts Here-French Sportsmen
Make Good on Firing Line

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
London. Dec. 2.-The warfare be-
tween those who want professional
football continued during wartime and
those who think that the players and
employees of the football clubs ought
to be at the front, goes on merrily
with the Poet Laureate as the latest
contributor to the discussion.
The chief argument of those who
oppose the discontinuanee of the games,
which draw every Saturday even larger
crowds than the American baseball
worlds series contests, is that the loss
of the millions of dollars which the
football ma2nates' pay out for sal
aries and other expenses would be
crushing economic blow to large
class. TIE sporting editor of the
"Daily News, for instance, says:
81 contend that football is an alb
solute necessity to the community. Stop
it and you will drive the men who are
making guns, ammunition, uniforms,
boots, etc., into wilderness of the drink
shops on Saturday afternoon. The
men who are fighting and will fight
later on, or who are doing the nation S
urgent work at home, have selected
professional football as their mode of
weekly relief from the worries of their
labor"
The other side of the argument is
presented in an open letter from Dr.
Robert Bridges, the Poet Laureate. He
says:
''I voice the feeling of the country
in declaring that it is high time pro-
fessional football should be discontin-
ued.
"The sightseeing crowds are not SO
much to blame, hope, as they appear
to be; I take it they are ignorantly
misled by the small body Of men who
cater for them.
"The whole nation is mourning for
those falling in defense and | would
suggest that the heroic death of Lord
Roberts is such an occasion as may we'll
serve these football managers as a mo-
tive for fixing the term for the cessa
tion of their public entertainments.
"Our enemies calculated on finding
