TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Under the combined stimulus OF war or
lere. broadening domestic trade and nor
mai holiday activity, general business is
maintaining a rate Of progress not ap-
preached at this season since 1912. The
tremendous industrial activity, in conjunc
ton with crops of record value is turning
into the channels of trade a volume OF
money which is now making itself felt in
retail lines that have suffered keenly from
depression. In the mass of statistics which
point conclusively to business improve
ment, those relating to the steel and iron
industry are particularly instructive
With more than 100000 tons of untitled
orders on its books, the United States
Steel corporation is taking on further con
tracts at rate seldom exceeded and is
operating at capacity mills which a year
ago were running at 30 per cent OF caPac-
ity The average price of finished steel
products has advanced since the first of the
year from S29.34 to $39.6S per ton and is
the highest since early in 1907. Wall
Street estimates that the steel corpora
tons earnings in the current quarter vii
reach $4,000, 0O0-an absolute record.
The stock market has not fully shared IL
the past week the cheerful atmosphere
which pervades industrial eenters. The as
sembling of congress, the renewed tension
in international affairs and further selling
of American securities held abroad, not t,
mention skilfully exploited stories obvious
~ intended for stock market consumption
all tended to establish a lower range 0
quotations. In the main, however, de
, clines were not important and all out
ward evidences point to the fact that tn
market was responding to PROFESSIONALS
rather than to any well-defned sentimen
that prices were intrinsically too high.

THOSE BRITISH DIVISIONS.

The British forces in Macedonia are be
ing driven back by the Bulgars, the British
expedition in Mesopotamia is making pro-
gress backward and the British army on
the Gallipoli peninsula is in some danger,
and not a small one, of being driven into the
sea. In each instance the fault is not with
the British soldiers who undoubtedly fight
as bravely and as intelligently as any other
soldier, but lies in the fact that insufficient
numbers have been employed
Somewhere, unless the king of all liars is
manufacturing British war statistics there
is great British army Somewhere there
are from a million to two million trained
and equipped soldiers who have not fig
ured in any of the various battle fronts.
The forces employed in Macedonia, in the
Euphrates, at the Dardanelles, in France,
do not account for any part of this great
British host. Where is it, and why are
little inefficient bodies of troops sent to do
jobs that demand big bodies?
/ Is the great British army to be merely
a home guard? Is England to play the
game of safety first" to such an extent
that she will risk the loss of the war tc
maintain huge army for the protection o.
England itself?
Where are these numberless divisions O
the British army that have cut no figure il
the war? Are they now devoted and arr
they always to be devoted, to the protec
ton Of the Englishman's home?

Steam heat is a modern luxury with
meter attachment. It is one of the few
approved methods of heating which can
be turned off for two weeks without
causing the meter to miss a stroke.
Some people manufacture their own
steam heat by investing heavily in a
boiler, which is inserted in the base
ment by members Of the Plumbers
Union who are subject to a fine for
over exertion. The boiler then is at
tached to nine dizzy headed radiators
with an impediment in their speech
1t is gruesome thing to be awakened
in the middle of the night by radia-
tor which is trying to swallow a. mouth
full of live steam and making a noise
like the muller cut-out on a motor
truck.
In the larger cities fat dwellings and
business houses are provided with dis
trict steam heat, which is run partly
by pressure and partly by providence.
Whenever the pressure goes down be
low a certain notch. everything be

meter. The meter is run by condensa-
