Wanted, City Builders

Athens in the age Of Per-
icles developed in many re-
spects the most wonderful city
that has SO far existed in the
world
This was done because the
task OF making a great city
was placed before that of III
dlvldual money getting. All
the citizens we're often called
to take part in discussing the
problems Of the city. Good
city government is one Of the
greatest powers for righteous
ness at the disposal OF men.
Every town ought to have a
good city charter. There
ought 70 be copy of in every
home, it ought to be text
book in every school in the
town. Every citizen ought to
know what are the duties and
responsibilities of the private
citizen, ought to know what
are the. duties and response
bilities of the town officials.
The town itself ought to be as
well managed as It's schools or
any private business in it.
Every town ought to have a
board or committee to look
after the health and sanitation,
another to look after or take
steps to provide a park and a
playground, another to look
alter the amusement, recreatr
ion and education OF the
people who are not in active
touch with the public schools,
and to provide some form of
social center that is designed
10 be mnre uplifting than the
saloons. 1t is just as import
ant to stamp out moral
poison at it is to stamp out the
contagion OF smallpox, 1t is
just as important to quarantine
against gambling as it is
against scarlet fever. To be
satisfied with things as they
are is often the worst kind
OF sin. If the people of our
town could see clearly what
our town is now, and put that
in contrast with the town it
would be ii all our citizens
would unite in making it the
town it ought to be and might
become, they would weep
over 1t as Jesus did over
Jerusalem.
1t would seem that the time
is ripe for the churches Of our
town to unite more along the
lines of common welfare. The
churches should keep to the
front all things that make for
the higher life Of our town.
They should be sort OF John
the Baptist calling the people
to consider the great things OF
their own town and Of the
Kingdom Of God.
There is coming to our
town Booster Chautauqua in
the near future that viii furnish
as an opportunity to begin to
do some of these great things
for our town. The first is to-
get together and make it
great success. We can do

MARINES NEEDED AT POSTS.
So Corps win Not be Represented at
Military Show.

Because every man is needed at his
post ut no ne or abroad the United
States Marine Corps will not be rep
resented at this years military show
at Madison Square Garden, in New
York City.
The army and navy, however, will
be represented as usual. The navy

ditionary forces for Haiti. the lega-
tion guards at Peking China, AMI
Managua, Nicaragua, as well as man
ming the permanent frontier defense
posts at Guantanaro Cuba; the Phil
ippines, Guam and Hawaiian Islands.
Congress, at its next session, will
be asked to increase the Marine Corps
by 1,500 men, and it is said that the
plan has strong backing IN the ranks
of the security leagues, who wish to
see the first line of defense strength
ened, so as TO insure an adequate
number of marines at the home posts
in case of necessity.

Schooner Over 100 Years Old
Owned by Thomas Kelly of AnnapoI

What is deel req to be the oldest
sailing vesse! plying in the Chesa
peake Bay is the two topmast schooner
Australia which reached the port OF
Baltimore Saturday. The vessel Is said
to be over 100 years old. and just as
sound today as many vessels trading
local waters built in recent years.
According to the United States list
of sailing vessels, the Australia was
formerly the British schooner Alma.
No year is given when or where the
vessel was built The words prize
vessel" constitutes all that the record
shows. AS no British vessel has been
seized as prize since the war with
England IN 1912, the general opinion
expressed was that the vessel came
under American registry at that time.
Ii as further pointed out that the
official number, "25. given the Aus
traia was additional proof that it was
among the first vessels TO be classified
by this government The vessel Is
owned by Thomas Kelly. of Annapolis
and halls from this port.

were strong, with some Of the upward

Moderate.

London, Aug. 16.-The money mar
ket was busy to-day preparing for the
payment of the Is per cent call on the
war loan tomorrow. Discount rates
were frmer on the decline IN hmeri-
can exchange. The latter was the
chief topic of conversation, and the
opinion is general that tho authorities
must take action shortly to relieve the
situation.
Business was moderate on the STOCK
Exchange. The war loan changed
hands freely. Canadian Car made a
fresh squirt and oil shares were firm,
especially Russian. -,
American securities opened dull and
easier, but closed steadier AFTER the
execution of a few small buying or
ders.
The Bank of England to-day bought

FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
War Stocks to the Fore
Pool Operations Much
i'm Evidence.

There were a number Of large ad-
vances scored in yesterdays stock mar
ket, but outside of Steel common the
gains Of size were practically confined
70 the group of war specialties. A
number of these, including American
Can, Studebaker, Pressed Steel Car,
Westinghouse Electric, Goodrich and
American Car and Foundry, made new
high records, either for the year or for
their history. The first two were most
in the public eye, Studebaker because
OF the professional operations that ad-
vanced il 20 points above its high
point of par on Saturday and Can be-
cause of its advance after week or
more Of seeming vacillation and the
numerous reports of new war orders
for the company. Steel was very heav-
ily bought. OF the days total dealings
il made up between a seventh and
sixth, the turnover in the whole list
falling short of million shares by
about $4,000. At it's highest price
Steel was within a small fraction of
the years record of 76S., established
in the sharp upturr of a week ago.
The market at the close was irregular
as to prices, but the tone was strong.
What seemed to give particular
stimulus to the dealings in the war
shares was the publication Of the text
of the note TO Austria, in which 1t was
made plain to that country that the
United States could put no embargo on
war supplies without violating its neu-
trality. There was talk, too, OF the
United States increasing its supplies
of ordnance and ammunition. But
neither of these influences was really
necessary to bring about contlnu-
ance Of that excited speculation in the
specialties which was so much In evil
dence last week. Plainly number OF
professional interests are at work IN
the market to make what they can out
of the popular craze for the shares OF
any and every company connected by
fact or rumor with war orders.
There was fair amount OF actlV-
ity in the railroad list, though nearly
a score of the industrials showed more
dealings than Union Pacific, the most
active of the railroad stocks. The cop
per issues, too, were generally higher
because of the new activity reported IN
the metal trade. Copper prices are
about cents a pound lower now
than they were at the crest of the
wave a few weeks ago. The latest
decline, to around 1712 cents, is re-
ported to have stimulated rev buying,
both from domestic sources and for
export.
A further break TO new low levels
for sterling and francs in the foreign
exchange market was succeeded by
rally to about the opening level, the
signs growing more definite that big
credit is being arranged with leading
bankers here. number of them were
in conference yesterday and 1t is be-
lieved that an announcement is imml-
nent. In the break sterling checks got
down to asa and franc checks fell TO
602. It is expected that gold imports
will be continued from time to time,
even though a credit is arranged here
for the Allies, but that probably will
depend 10 a great degree on the nature
of the arrangement. The Bank Of Eng
land was reported to have sold $780,
600 gold. presumably for shipment to
this country.
