GENERAL BUSINESS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
ReConstTuGtV6 Forces SteadlI at
Work, Says Henry CIeWS.
Especial to the HeraId.)

New York, April 24-Reconstruc
tive forces are steadily at work. This
is noticeable in many directions: and
Wall streets leaders with sure instinct
and even surer knowledge have been
discounting industrial recovery. For
the very decided change from despair
to courage which has taken place
since January, many reasons have
been advanced chief OF these being.
as repeatedly stated in these adyices
lcssened hostility to big business, the
successful establishment of the federal
reserve system, the adjustment of our
finances to a war basis and a grow
ing belief that the end of the war is
not far distant. The war will prove a
favorable factor in keeping the ex-
traVagant American people at home
this summer, thereby preventing
about 200 millions from being spent
in Europe instead of this country, the
effect of which will be vastly i'm
pcrtant To such favorable condi-
tons as these must now be added the
proved soundness of business in the
United States and the wide prepared
ness to respond to any now and en-
couraging influences.
shows Positive Improvement.
General business already shows
positive Improvement; slight it may
be. but real ncHcrt hcless: and there
are excellent reasons for anticipating
its continuance. The country has
been through a. prolonged period of
severe economy. This economy was
greatly intensified by fear of serious
consequences following the war.
Every business man upon whom in
itiative depends knows to his sorrow
what a deterrent factor apprehension
has been in the last few months. AL
ready there are signs of improvement
among the great department stores in
all parts of the country. Our inn
mcnsc textile industry is exhibiting IA
pronounced gain in confidence, and
cotton manufacturers are often re-
fusing to sell ahead. while prices arc
firm and collections better. The same
remarks apply to wooden goods, which
arc being materially helped by orders
for foreign armies. 4 $1,000. 600 auc-
ton sale Of carpets this week was sur
prisingly successful. The wholesale |
grocery trade, which covers practc- |
ally all food products except meats, is |
III excellent condition and collections /!
arc satisfactory. In the steel in !
dustry, which must still be accepted !
as a first-class barometer. there are I
decided symptoms of coming activity. !
Domestic orders arc being placed with |
more freedom and prices show a per |
sistent hardening tendency. Our rail
roads have not yet placed orders with
any freedom for tho reason that traf-
fc is still below normal. Neverthc-
IL IS. a resumption Of trade must mean
an increase of traffic, and as this de-
Velops the placing of large mass OF
deferred orders for rails and equip
mcnt must be expected as a result of
q prolonged period of rigid economy.
Our railroads have fairly turned the
corner; they are likely to be less har-
red in the future and with the bet
ter rates now allowed, any gains i'm |

cidcd effect upon net results. 1t is

WAR FAILS TO BOOM
CITIZENSHIP PAPERS
Less Petitions Have Been Filed
Than For Corresponding
Period of Last Year.

The common belief that naturaliza-
ton of foreigners has increased since
the European war began was de-
clared today to be erroneous by Of
hcials OF the Bureau of Naturaliza-
ton, Department OF Labor. On the
contrary, the number OF petitions for
naturalization filed will fall far be-
low the total of 1855 filed in the
seal year ended June 80. 1914. The
war apparently has made no change
in the trend of naturalization. Fig
urcs for the eleven completed months
CT the current fiscal year, while not
officially vcried by the Naturaliza-
tiCn Bureau, show there will be q
general reduction in the current fis-
cal year, ofcials OF the bureau said
today.
The naturalization totals this year
will be about the average for the
years from 1919 to 1913, inclusive, Of
ficials said today. Last years total
of 44O.429 declarations and petitions
filed, and certificates issued was co.
009 above this average. due to the
expiration of the sevcn-year limita-
tion period in the naturalization law
of 1906
No record Is kert by the bureau in

established that Russians. Austro-

"Our readers will read and ponder the

ting to place themselves in the point OF
view of the head of the universal church,
remembering that France has no repre-
sentative at the Vatican to discuss such
matters.

certain details"
The French clerical press generally
continues to avoid any discussion of
the interview. but the anti-clerical press
continues to show JOY over 1t.
The Catholic Belgian organ, the
Twentieth Century, which appears at
Havre, is unwilling to believe that the
Pope has spoken in such terms. 1t re-
fers to the letter written by Cardinal
Mercier in Latin to the clergy on Janu-
ary 10 contradicting the statement of
General Won Bissing. the German mill
tary governor of Belgium. that he has
allowed the free exercise Of ecclesiastic
functions.
The cardinal was summoned at
o clock in the morning of January 2 to
give an account to General Won Bissing
of his pastoral letter, and was forbidden
to preside at services at the cathedral.
On the following day he was forbidden

ROME. June 24.-The Vatican or

ing upon an interview with Pope
Benedict that appeared in the Paris
La liberte, warns the public that
journalistic interpretations of the
Pope's thoughts are bound to contain
inaccuracies.
The Vatican organ does not directly
reprdiate any Of the alleged state
merts of the Pope that aroused re
sentiment here but declares that there
are several inaccuracies so obvious
that it would be useless to point them
blt.
1t is author!tatively reported that
an official denial of the interview Is
inevitable because the interviewer
was not authorized to publish any OF
the conversation. 1t Is said further
that the Pope's words were grossly
distorted. The denial will not be
forthcoming until the text OF the in
teryiew reaches Rome.
Meanwhile q member of the Pope en-
tourage has declared that the Pope
wants the press to explain and justify

well known from repeated public utter
ances and official documents.
He added, however, that an arbitrary
attempt to find hidden meanings in the
Popes conversation during private audi
enceS Is a most deplorable occurrence
and only serves to create mistaken i'm
pressions which are not always eradi-
Gated by official denials.
