Chicago. April Developments
along lines of industrial activities
throughout the United States were
reported in greater volume and over
wider territory yesterday than at any
time since the first squirt of business
al the beginning of the year.
Reports came from the Montana and
the lake copper districts telling of
the opening of mines and smelling
plants that have been closed or oper-
ating small shifts for months. and
also that wage advances were being
made among miners and other work
ers.
Gains Are Widespread.
From the steel districts around Chi
cago, in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and else
where similar reports of growing activ-
ity were heard. Dispatches telling Of
increased operations in New England
marked the one territorial extreme
and the gains in industries on the
Pacific coast marked the other.
The spirit of improvement in busi-
ness and the securities markets was
reflected throughout Chicago business
circles. Bankers and business men
concede strong evidences of sharp
revival in trade and finance. The re-
ports received by them from all quar-
ters told of greater activities.
Brokers offices were crowded and
enthusiasm ran high as the stock
market advances seemed to presage
approaching business prosperity.
Predict Further Prosperity.
Bankers and business men say the
great demand the war has thrust upon
the United States for practically
everything it can produce will bring
great prosperity to this country.
The immense trade balance of near
ly 5000. .0OO, 900 in favor of the United
States seems to tell the tale. Gold
commenced to flow swiftly into this
country and the only check was the
creation of huge credits here by the
powers of the old world that are TAX
ing our merchandise and products of
every description.
Ends Minimum Prices.
One of the strongest evidences of
the confidence American bankers have
in the present and future financial
position of the United States was re-
| fiected in the action taken by the New
York stock exchange yesterday, when
the governing committee abolished
minimum trading prices. These were

his billed shirt but looked indeed like husky

MA IN HER BEST CLOTHES.
Until time for the square dance, the Kings
burys. of Vermont, had sat at table right
next to ours, this country family on their first
trip TO New York in the midst of Club de
Vingt revelry. Ma Kingsbury had On her best
bib and tucker, too, white waist and dark skirt,
bonnet with plumes topping high
pompadour and, chiefest glory. a wide
pink bow pinned under her waist on her Sun
day corset cover. And the men in their gray
shirts sat close to her, as they all watched the
dancing figures and the winking pumpkins and
the scurrying walters. The music was I'M
familiar to them, too, the ragtime OF the or
chestra and the popping Of corks. But they
were entirely unembarrassed, and it made you
wonder bit until you reflected that poise Is a
matter of serenity Of spirit and that these tour
people from Northern Vermont are as calm
and untroubed as the mountains themselves.
Up Vermont way the people had told them
that that woman was crazy and only wanted
them for a laughing stock" but the Kingsburys
had answered their nay to that and, packing up
their Instruments and their valises, they came.
And their coming was justified, for the lsdies

plauded and smiled and nodded at them inter

And yet it is Denys Cochin and Emile

fairly well.
General J. S. Gsllieni, the Minister OF
War, is, before all things and in the fullest
sense of the word, a general. Jules Cambon,
who takes on the portfolio of Foreign Affairs,
is we'll known in the United States, having
served at Washington for many years as our
Ambassador. Quite valuable acquisition to
he Cabinet he should be- in that he has init
mate knowledge of Germany, gained from
ten years stay in Berlin as the French Am
bassador.
M. Paul Panleve was elected eighteen
months ago as the radical and somewhat anti
militaristic opponent of Count Adrien Cannes
de Monticello, one of the authors OF the three
years service law. Ironically enough, this
law, made in defence against Germany's ever
increasing ornaments, was greatly used against
M de Monticello during the campaign, and was
the chief reason for his defeat. M. Painleve
is the typical Sorbonan, full OF ideas highly
cultivated and moving amongst distractions
with the greatest ability, but, perhaps, not
quite so efficient when brought into contact
with brutal facts-and capable of arriving at
the most surprising conclusions by means of

training, interest and creed that it is hard to
imagine them ever joining in the same action,
even if their object is the same. Neither can
one very we'll suppose that they may submit
to and follow our accepted chief. Such hum
ity can be possible for half an hour, in some
very critical moment but not for months and
with the clashing OF daily intercourse The
Cabinet Ministers are all too strongly marked
personalities and too confident in the superior
ity of their Individual methods.
The means to avoid the great cataclysm were
probably more obvious than are now those to
get out of it, and the leisure of times of peace
more conducive to cool-headedness. Yet never,
on single point, could these men ever agree,
simply because it is impossible for them to
see with the same eyes and Judge by the same
standards.
There is the Premier M. Aristide BRAND,
for instance. He is, perhaps, the most brill
iantly gifted speaker in the Chambre des
Deputies When he takes the trouble TO try
he carries all his audience away with him. His
remarkable intuitve, imaginative intelligence
attracts even his political enemies, while his
fits OF nonchalance sometimes make his friends
