PEACE TALK AFFECTS EXCHANGE
Great Activity Is Re5orted on Bours

IRepubIfcan A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON. Nov. 4-Peace rumors and the mysterious journeys of pr. w. S. Holf, German secretary of state for the colonies. to the Hague. and Prince von Buelow to Switzerland, are having an effect or the German stock exchange, according to a Berlin letter to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
 This letter reports great activity on the Berlin bourse, where the shares in companies engaged in the manufacture of war materials have become less at tractive than formerly. Spectators are now directing their attention to in- dustrial and other securities which are likely to come into request with the re- sumption of German foreign trade and the securities of international charac- ter which might profit by international agreements.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung, however, warns sreculators against being misled by baseless rumors.

are no indemnities for them to collect, no
conquered lands to compensate them for
the arrangement of their trade and for
their heavy outlay in defending their
neutrality.
Yet the helligerents profit greatly by
this neutrality. The neutrality OF Hol-
land. enforced by a large and costly
army. is an Indispensable protection TO
the flank of the Germans on the western
front. while the neutrality of that little
kingdom and of Scandinavia gives Ger
many her only possible access to the sea.
On the other hand, the neutrality of
Switzerland protects the flank of the
Italian army in its northern operations
and the neutrality of the Balkans is a
bulwark for the entente in its campaign
against Constantinople. since it cuts off
the Tentonic empires from their Turkish
ally.
Is America NeutrnI:
But how stands the United States
how is il measuring up to the high
standard OF neutrality which it has as
serted in the past and which it main
tanned at Geneva? Is America truly
neutral? Is she faithfully fulfilling all
her lawful obligations to the belligerent
powers?
Europe is the best. the most impartial
Judge of American neutrality. The bel
ligerent governments over there agree in
finding no fault and the peoples of the
belligerent nations agree in finding fault
with the conduct of the United States.
Between them they give Uncle Sam
certificate of good behavior.
For the governments would be quick
enough to complain if America were I'M
neutral. and the peoples are only COM
planning because she is neutral All OF
them are laughing at her. We are told:
but that is manifestly inaccurate en-
preston. For. unhappily. there is no
laughter in Europe in these bitter days.
On one side. il is insisted that America
ought to enforce her protests against the
German submarine campaign. From the
other side she is prodded to take viSor-
Gus action against the British starvation
campaign But while those two CAM
paigns interfere with her rights, they
do not affect her duties as A neutral.
And other nations are entitled to insist
only upon her performing her duties to
them 1t is for her alone to determine
how and when she will assert her rights.
The Sale Of Arms.
No government seems to question that
America has scrupulously and vigilantly
discharged every task imposed by the
law Of neutrality. Many Germans de-
nounce the United States for permitting
the expectation OF arms and ammunition.
although it is true their government does
not assume to make. objection to it. Their
writer's arfisn the American people as
hypocrites ifor trafiicking in weapons of
war while praying for peace. And many
people In the United States are ashamed
of this trade and believe II ought to be
stopped. /.
There il no question that the law of
neutrality permits the sale Of arms and
ammunition. Neutrality ) imposes few
restrictions upon the merchants.
manufacturers and the inhabitants Of a
neutral country. Its restraints are
mostly confined to the government. II

have always contended that the en-

ness Of the profit system, and that if
the workers received the full profit
of his labor he could live in compare
tive luxury.
With a few of the facts of the.
Ford plan" before US let us see if
these contentious are wrong.
The Ford plant is capitalized at
$2,OOO,OOO., The profits for 1913
were $2O,OOO,OOO. Ford's intention
was to distribute in 1914 one-half of
this profit, or $1O,OOO,OOO, with his

see If his pen hasn't acted without
the sanction of his common sense.
The two statements he makes are for
the sake of argument, true. Does
that prove that the K. C.'s are all of
that caIiber?~~
Maybe Mr.. Hall thinks that the K.
C.'s uphold member who commits
murder. They do most emphaticaIly
NOT.
Murder is a crime, probably the
most heinoUs of all crimes and must
take the course of the law.
A knight who commits murder is
no better than any other common
murderer and, as such, we do not up
hold him. The name mentioned as
being an apt one for this order is a
foul SANDER, a monstrous fabrica-
ton and a diaboical falsehOOd.
Do we condemn the Masonic order
because one of its members commits
murder? Do we condemn another
denomination because one of its min
listers falls. For instance, J. Morri-
son Darnel.
Now I give Mr.. Hall credit for be-
ing a gentleman and brOad-minded
one at that. l feel that what have
said should be convincing enough
for any right-thinking citizen. If the
gentleman wishes further proof can
give it to him singly or in volumes,
just as he desires.-PhiIIip P. Bey-

aside $13,OOO,OOO, which will be re-
bated to buyers of Ford cars, and
yet his profits for 1914 were $780,
100000, the same as in 1913.
So we find that even with the S. a
day wage paid and the enormous re-
bates to buyers, he had the same
amount to distribute among the
stockholders.
This enormous increase came
without adding to or changing his
force in any way. The stimulant of
good wages and fair treatment to his
workers had increased his output
from 165, 419 cars in 1918, to 248,3O7
cars in 1914, or practically $4,000
cars.
Had the workers in the Ford cons
Germ received the full product of their
labor it is easy to see that their wages
would have been instead of the SIS
they received, and the Ford wage of
SIS is almost double the amount paid
in other concerns of the same and
similar lines work.
The fact of an increase output Of
$4,000 cars by the same group Of
men should also silence the employer
who is forever informing the public
that "To increase wages to level is
to increase ineficiency and foster dis
content"
So with this actual demonstration
