RAINBOW SIGNS IN
A BUSINESS WAY

Three or four items of news that
have not figured on the front page
during the last day or two are a good
deal more important to us in bust
ness sense than the report Of desper-
ate battles in Belgium and France.
One was the statement published in
a dispatch from Philadelphia that as
result Of the rapidly increasing
foreign demand for anthracite coal
a number of collieries which were
closed last spring are making pIepa-
rations for early resumption in Sep
TENDER. Thousands of men who have
been out of work or on half time are
promised full time. beginning on La
nor Day. Orders for coal are pour
ing into our country from every
part Of the globe. 'rhc Belgian and
Russian coal fields are affected by
the war, which has also Curlaied the
activity of the Welsh mines. Europe
is calling for our coal just as she is
calling for our wheat.
Another encouragirG item cones
from Pittsburg, which reports that
the steel companies therc are complet.
ing arrangements that are expected
to develop tremendous amount of ac-
tual business out of the wide inquiry
fer steel now steadily coming to them
from Europe, South america and
other countries. Within fort, eight
hours inquiries for semi-fnished
steel. totaling more than 100000 tons,
had been received from England alone
Another cheering note is sounded
in New York dispatch which points
to the unemployment of large num-
bers of stevedores and ship Iaborers,
indicating the gradual return of nor
NAL conditions in the commercial
field.
All these are rainbow signs show
ing that the flood of business disturb
ance is beginning to abate. We are
still short Of ocean transportation,
but we have got the foreign demand,
we have got the goods to supply it,
and we have the money to get the
ships. Under the circumstances It
will be impossible to bottle up our
commerce much longer. Its outward
flow has, in fact, already been re-
summed to some extent. But it will
not be long before it will be repre-
scented by great armada of peace
full ships conveying 20 Europe and
South America the food and the in
dustrial products which they can get
nowhere else.-Baltimor Sun,

Paul ]. Rainey's 1914 series of African
Hunt Pictures. explained by a compe-
tent lecturer. who has hunted wild
game Of the African jungle. is the at
traction booked for the Belasco Thea
ter this week. commencing tomorrow
afternoon with two performances daily,
at 2:15 and 8:15 pm.
This 1914 series Is entirely new and
has never been seen here. 1t consists
of a collection Of views taken by Paul
j. Rainey. the millionaire sportsman,
during an eighteen-month hunting
trip in the heart of the African jungle,
from which he has just returned. One
of its masterpieces is the film showing
lion just about to pounce on Mr.
Rainey. who Is operating the moving
picture machine, when a bullet from a
high-powered gun catches the beast at
a distance of only five feet from the
camera This was one Of the narrowest
escapes Mr.. Rainey ever experienced
and the film Is declared SO realistic as
to make the audience gasp.
Mr.. Rainey took all the pictures per-
sonally, in many cases at the risk of
his life, and the collection Is said to be
