OUR WAR-MADE PROBLEMS.

''Our financial outlook is undOubt-
eddy promising, but contains many
difficult and unprecedented prob
lens, practically all of which are an
outgrOwth of war; writes Henry
Clews. the New York banker in his
current weekly financial review. THE
violent arrangement of our foreign
trade, the sudden and overwhelming
demands for munitions, the I'M
dreamed of applications for Ameri-
can funds and the consequent second
airy disturbances affecting shipping.
railroads. factories, labor. commodi-
ties, exchange, money. securities. ETC.,
are too familiar to require mention.
No line of business has entirely es-
capped the eff Fl of the European cata-
clysm Some of these problems have
already been successfully faced. 9th
ers are still IN prospect and will re-
quire cool and careful action. AL
though our financial and industrial
resources have already been modified
upon a war basis. there still remain
two great contingencies yet to be
faced: either an early peace. or pro-
Iongation of the war and the former
may be within the probabilities
severely ulSdSlTOuS anu COSTLY winter
may be influential in that direction
Should the war continue in
definitely. it will have a twofold eff
feet. At first it would mean a pro-
1onged demand upon the United States
for war materials and food products
such as has been experienced for the.
past six months. Temporarily We
should gain by such a result, but
eventually we should lose by a lon.r
war and it would be dangerous self
deception to expect that the United
States could permanently profit by
struggle ended only by exhaustion
Although this country will undoubted-
Iy feel the harmful effects of the war
less than any other. and will actually
benefit in some respects, we cannot
hope to avert the reflex action of de-
struction of millions of men and bill
lions of property. the present cost of
the war being at the rate of about
$50 600, 100000 year. When the war
is over we may secure some temporary
advantage by selling machinery. con-
structive materials etc, to fill the gap
until the devastated regions are able
to supply themselves; but subsequent
ly our exports must be affected adj
versely by an inevitably diminished
buying power of all the beIligerents

WHO WANTS A HOUSE?
Kansas Building at Frisco Must Be
Removed in Two Weeks.

Kansas must remove her building
at the Panama-Pacific exposition
within the next two weeks. A tele-
gram concerning the urgent need of
Immediately disposing of the building
was received from Albert T. Reid to-
day by Governor Capper. The gov
ernor believes the building should be
purchased by some kansas town or
order and shipped to this state.
The Kansas building at the San
Francisco exposition cost nearly $780,
900. The Kansas fair commissioners
have been unable to dispose of the
structure to salvage men at a salts
factory figure. At one time the state
considered the shipment of the build
ing to Kansas university, where it
could be used as a dOrmitOry. But
there w " no money available. Now
the governor desires that some fra
ternal order or municipality buy the
structure.
The building could be shipped to
Kansas for about one-fourth to one
third of the cost of construction and
would b. good investment" said
the governor. 1T would be a fine
structure fl some fraternal order or
for some Kansas city"
Immediate action must be taken,
however, Oh the San Francisco salvage
men will probably buy the building at
their own figures. Under the eXposi-
ton contract the buildings must be
removed Immediately.

DOLLAR EXCHANGE.

The present basis of exchange with
foreign countries and the fallacy OF
the Dollar at a premium will be one
of the principal subjects of discussion
at the International Trade Conference
to be held December 9, z and 8. at the
Hotel Aston. New York city. The dis
arrangement of the foreign exchange
market due to the war and the alb
normal amounts of exports over i'm
ports has affected the manufacturers
as we'll as bankers and other business
interests. The solution of the foreign
exchange problem will be discussed in
reference to dollar exchange drafts on
New York. Drafts drawn on New
York or any other American city are
not new but their use in the past has
been very limited, and the conference
will endeavor to disseminate informa
ton among American business men as
to the value of New York exchange
Prior to the European war it was the
custom for American business men to
pay for foreign purchases with bills
on London and it was customary to
demand or accept bills on London in
payment for our sales. This custom
has grown up because we were given
credit to draw such bills long before
actually paying for them. Even If
buyers and sellers would not take adj
vantage of this credit. banks would do
so freely. No one will now freely ac-
cept a draft on London at ninety days
in payment of an account and no one
will confidentially draw term draft
on London to cover foreign shipments:
Everyone fears another shake-up in
the exchange market which will de-
moralize rates and no one cares to as
sumo the risk of what may happen
within ninety days. These conditions
have made New YORK the substitute
for London and the dollar the sub
stitute for the pound sterling in for
eign exchange. How to use these SUBJ
for the advantage of the world
and their benefit to American bust
ness men is the scope of one of the
discussions which will be undertaken
by the International Trade Confer

vlI De such extensive dumping as
feared for the simple reason that Eu-
rope will have little surplus for ex
port, and for some time after the
war labor in belligerent countries will
be largely drawn into reconstruction
work. while the wastage of capital
must restrain foreign enterprise for
years to come. Following the war a
severe struggle for recovery of the
worlds markets must be expected be-
tween Germany and Great Britain.
That contingency, however. is some
distance away. and during the interval
the United States has splendid OPP
portunity for securing a foothold in
foreign markets, which it is not over
looking and which if properly devel-
oped will be an important outlet for
our rapidly expanding industrial en-
ergies. Evidently. therefore,
prolonged war will have both its
gains and IT'S losses for the United
States. Should the war come to an
earlier end than expected. especially
in view of rumored peace movements,
the results would be vastly better for
us than its continuance. We might
lose some profitable war contracts,
but on the other hand we should gain
infinitely more by the stoppage OF
waste and the restoration of normal
activities before the much dreaded in
ternational exhaustion sets in; not to
speak of a higher motive for peace,
which is to stop the awful carnage
that is drenching Europe in blood.
With the coming of peace a new set of
problems will have to be met. Our
financial rehabilitation would be in
order, and many industries which
have suffered by the struggle would
be permitted to return to their normal
relations, a vastly more encouraging
outlook than the inflationary profits
from war orders, which thoroughly
demoralize capital and labor alike"

MICS PLAYMATE.

Mig was a handsome little iet-bla cl
kitten who lived in an apartment
house in a big city. And this was nc
easy life-Nig would have told you
that himself if you had asked him
OF course he had plenty to eat, cream
and bits of fish, and every dainty :
kitten likesi And he had a fine pIac
to sleep and lots of care-oh, dear me
yes. He had all of that
But still Mig considered his life d
hard one-because he couldn't play
whenever and wherever he wished,
Wasn't he a funny kitty?
And all the days when his kind
mistress let him out Every carefully
watched of course) to walk up and
down the back yard few times, he
looked longingly across at the neigh
boris garden and wished and wished
he was free to run and romp among
it's flower bedsl
He thought about that garden all
day and he dreamed about that gar
den all highland the more he
thought, the worst became his long
ing to play there.
Finally he decided that he would
run away and play in the garden all
by himself And that was a won
derfully brave thing for a tinid little
house kitten like Mig to decide. For
you see he never had done a single
thing by himself in all his little
sheltered life
So he watched for a chance to es-
cape from his mistress-watched for
three whole days before he could get
away Through the fence he crept-
into the pretty garden; and there he
looked around over the beds of bloom
to see what he should do now that
he really had his freedom
Now it happened, that all the days
Mig was dreaming and wishing and
