WAR PROFITS MAY STOP
BEFORE WAR IS ENDED
Frank 4. Nnpderiip says Europe WIN
soon Reach Point where II
Won't be Able to Pay,

New York Dec Prank A. VAN
derlip, president OF the National City
Bank told the American Associate
OF WOODEN and Worsted Manufacturers
at the waldorf today that war profits
may stop before the war does, because
OF the inability OF Europe to pay us.
He gently derided the notion that just
because a country needs materials 1t
can buy them somehow or other. He
added that business Ia running in this
country at full TIT today, and that
our present problem Is 10 make our
selves independent Of war profits aa
soon ss possible.
That We can do If VIC try. he de-
olared There is enough capital here
to give every man IA Job, if only con-
dittons can be brought about TO In
spire enough confidence 10 its owners.
Increased pay affords no RELIEF to the
millions IL wssteful oduction con-
tinues; the only way to ameliorate the
condition OF the masses is 10 bring
about larger and cheaper production
OF things needed
The position, the prosperity, the in
fuence OF the United states for the
next twenty-five years" he said will
be tremendously Influenced, and indeed
almost determined, by the course we
take In the next TWENTY-FIVE months"
Ana less OF our Responsibilities lie Az
the polls than lie In our daily business,
he said. %
We know nothing OF when the war

this special demand VIII continue. We
know that possibly before it ends for
eign purchases n this market will
have to be curtailed because the means
OF payment may be lacking"
Mr.. Vanderlip said that he knew
Of but three ways Of paying for for
eisn purchases---in gold, by exchange
credits. and by loans Very little can
be paid for in gold. the rest must

PARADoxICAL SITUATION.

A paradoxical as well as an agra
waiting situation exists at Clarksburg.
Situated in the center OF the greatest
gas belt in the world. the people are
suffering from cold and hunger
through lack OF this natural fuel And
to cap the climax the Clarksburg
Light and Heat Company. which fur
nishes the gas, has petitioned the Pub
lie Service Commission for permission
to rate its rates. While ostensibly a
local company the gas monopoly owns
fifty-one per cent OF the stock. or the
controlling interest. 1t is one of the
many local organizations in this State
that pay tribute to the parent trust
which has been squeezing gas con-
sumers TO the last cent the traffic will
stand
Is II any wonder the people OF
Clarksburg and vicinity feel outraged
over the conditions that prevail. The
company claims that it is furnishing
all the gas it has. Yes. all it has to

that its supply Is limited by produc.

OF those who are entitled to the full

THE DIFFERENCE

Boston Advertiser.
In fact the provocation to action in
the Ancona case has not been so great
as il was in the case OF the Lusitania.
Austria did not dare TO 20 to the
length Of threatening Americans be.
forehand; nor is II announced that the
attack upon the Ancona has been cele.
brated as one OF the great victories
OF Teuton arms: nor does Austria. ap.
parently. believe that the Ancona was
attacked until she seemed to be escap-
ing: and some OF the Ancona passen-
gers have admitted. SINCE reaching
port. that much Of the loss Of life was
due TO a panic on board the vessel,
rather than TO the shots from the sub.
marine. The case OF the Lusitania
was admittedly dreadful. more deliber-
ate. more brutal. And yet. in all the
months that have INTERVIEWED, not one
word Of apology has come from Ger
many, and the fact was published all
