Clara Barton's Memorial.

/ The present war has not vet brought
| to public notice the name of a woman
like that of Florence Nightingale or
| Clara Barton. That Ia because there
are many Florence Nightingales and
Clara Bartons. When thousands of good
and gifted women are giving their lives
lin France they have ladies of the best
sort who are in reality doing servants
work for the wounded, and who are
proud to do it and respected in doing It'll,
there is no opportunity for such emf
hence in the work of humanity and sue
cor as Florence Nightingale and Clara
Barton attained. But that is no reason
why their noble pioneering, by which
every wounded soldier now benefits,
should not be worthily acknowledged.
There is now in progress movement,
which is in charge of the Clara Barton
Memorial associa ton, with headquarters
at Washington, to build a memorial to
Miss Barton at the capital of the ma
ton. 1t should have the cooperation Of
every humane and patriotic American.
Miss Barton herself never received any
mark of honor for her great work COW
ering forty three years of the horrors OF
war and the disasters and natural calam- |
tiles of peace except the tsrdy repay |
ment to her by Congress of the $751; |
900 of her own money which she spent, |
after the Civil war, in collecting the rec
ords of the Union soldiers who were re-
ported as missing" Forty thousand /
of these names she collected, out of the
$4,000 missing. But for her these names
would never been restored to the honor
rolls of the Union. That alone was
most honorable work. 1t was she who
brought the Red Cross to the United
States, and it was her enterprise, vigil
ance and ability that looked after the
relief of the sufferers by public calami
ties from the Michigan forest fires in
1881 to the Galveston storm in 1900. The
great warriors have their monuments at
Washington Side by side with them,
and equal in beauty and distinction TO
them. should stand a memorial to the
woman who did more than any other
American not only to relieve the hor-
rors and sufferings of war, but to break
the force Of fire and shipwreck, of pestil-
ence and famine and the storm.-Boston

NEW BRITISH
RULE MAY FORCE
AMERICAN EXODUS
The English Government Now Demands
All United States
Securities.

London, June Wealthy Americans
living in England developed sudden at
tack Of homesickness yesterday, when it
was learned that they must sell or de.
post their American securities with the
British government or pay the penalty
of tax OF two shillings extra under
the income tax law.
Home was never like this" was the
burden of American comment.
The ruling of the government, which
was made public by an official Of the
American Dollar Securities committee,
holds good whether the securities are in
the United States or this country and
will apply to all Americans who have re-
sided here long enough to become subject
to the regular income tax.
The government prefers to purchase
the securities outright but if they are
deposited only the usual income tax with
the ordinary Attachments will be charged.
If American securities held in tile Unit
ed States are deposited, the government
will collect the interest and pay it TO
the owners in sterling The agency Of
J. 7. Morgan & Co., New York, may be
invoked for sale or deposit
1t is expected that there will be an
exodus OF well-to-do Americans when the
terms of the ruling become known The
United States embassy is already be-
sieged with inquiries for information on
the questions involved.
Residents liable to tax on unearned
income will be required TO pay five shil-
ings on the pound. Those to whom the
,upertax applies will, OF course, pay
more.

An Optimistic View.

Once more things are leading up to
Decoration day. Dealers all over the
the country are very busy placing work
in the cemeteries, much Of it delayed
on account of the backward spring this
year. From reports from various parts
of the country it would seem that bust
ness this spring will total up TO a very
satisfactory sum when the accounts are
all figured. And better still is the en-.
couraging outlook for the summer
months.
With practically all of the labor trou-
BILE settled in all the granite centers, ev-
cry branch of the trade can go to work
with will, feeling safe from that kind
Of disturbance for at least another four
years.
1t is time for all of us to forget the
past months and try to make the com
ing four years record breakers in the
history of the business From Granite,

To Garry Money Safely.

In the June Womsn's Home Compan.

tons to carry money safely;
you may have given only q
passing thought Of where and how to
carry money when you go travelling. To
be safe, do not carry tickets, money and
all valuables in one pocket. Buy a bill
folder Of sufficient size to take care OF
the railroad and steamer tickets, bag
gage checks, and so on. Probably the
safest place to carry this wallet will
be in the inside pocket Of your coat.
Your money-and in travelling in Ameri-
ca il never is necessary to carry in cash
any such amount as eight hundred dol
lars-will be safest and in the most con-
venient place for YOU If carried in a
small leather folder in a side pocket Of
your trousers. Small change might be
kept in the same pocket, but nothing

Australian Pool to Continue.

Several important steps have lately

tralian wheat pool. 1t is announced
that a sale of 100000 tons of wheat
has been made to the French govern
mcnt. for delivery spread over twelve
months, at current prices that is, the
prices ruling at present. Arrange
ments have been made with the British
government to advance sufficient money
against the unsold wheat in the pool
TO enable the government TO liquidate
the overdraft with tho banks in Aus
trala. The accounts Of the pool in its
present form are to be closed on Sep
TENDER 30, but the pool will require to
be continued into next year, as it ap-
pears impossible TO dispose Of all the
wheat this year, while the freight ques-
ton will apparently continue to be

Rules Of experience do not hold IN
this situation. Under normal condi-
tons Wall Street will stop buying
stocks and begin to sell with business
and profits running into new peaks
ie it believes that the facilities of the
country for producing and transport
ing goods have been pushed to their
maximum output. The reasoning Is
this: eve are doing all the business
we have the capacity for. There
fore. we cannot do any more, and the
end of the boom is near. Prices may
20 on rising, but that will tend only
to limit consumption And where
the main assumption as to the limits
of capacity having been reached is
correct, the deduction is bound to be
proved.

Japan TAKING
OUR SECURITIES
One Way of Settling What
We Owe Her on
Balances.

Japan has been piling up such huge
favorable trade balance in her trade
relations with the United States in re-
cent months that as time goes on the
problem of arranging payment for i'm
ports into this country from the Far
East grows more and more difficult, &C
cording to bankers who are in close
touch with the exchanges. The trouble
is that our exports TO Japan are so
much less than our imports as to af-
ford no adequate supply Of exchange
bills for remittance purposes. In other
words. it is becoming increasingly diff
cult to arrange payment through the
ordinary exchange channels.
Just now we are shipping gold TO
Japan. Last week S1,7OO,OO0 went out
70 Toxic from San Francisco. Yester-
day the Yokohama Specie Bank ar
ranged for another consignment OF
81, 900, 900. More is expected to go for
ward. In ordinary times the natural
vav would be TO settle the balance in
gold provided it could not be done BY
exchange. A banker said yesterday,
however. that he did not believe 1t
could be arranged satisfactorily in that
manner at the present In the hrst
place the japanese financial and COM
mercial authorities do not desire gold
Money rates are easy there and gold
cannot be employed as profitsbly as on
this side. For this reason gold ship
ments to Japan have been discouraged
by the bankers, and as an alternative
they have urged the purchase Of Ameri-
can securities. This has been done on
fairly large scale for the account of
private japanese merchants and corpo-
rations which are heavy creditors here.
The amount of such purchases is be-
lieved to have exceeded sl0,000,000 at
least and the process is still going on.
In all cases the best American railway
bonds have been taken and most of them
at attractive prices, yielding a much
larger income than could have been OBJ
tanned by employment of the same
amount of gold in Japan. In a way
the operation, while on a small scale,
is similar to that of the Japanese gov
eminent when it invested $4,000, 900 CT
gold balance in New York in British
Treasury bills.
The record Of Japan's trade with the
United States in the last two years
runs into big figures. Her exports to
this country rose from S9S,8s2,638 in
the twelve months ended in June, 1915,
to s147,6i4,228 in 1916, while her i'm
ports from the United States increased
from S41, 5l7,7S0 in 1915 to s75,09S, 1888
in 1916. Excess Of Japanese exports to
the United States over the imports in
1915 was s57,364,s5s, in 1916 s72,54s,-
040. The two years total balance in
Japan's favor was sll2,910,S9s.

Contrast the case Of the railroads
with that of the industrial COM
panies. The railroads are hauling
goods up TO the capacity Of their
equipment, and as their rates are
fixed it must be supposed that their
earnings are at the maximum. They
cannot do any more business, speak
ing generally; therefore, they cannot
increase their earnings. But there
is no limit TO what a steel company
may charge for its output. One
hears Of this one having turned away
more orders than it filed in a whole
normal year, and Of another having
sold steel to Japan at three times the
cost per ton Of like order filed only
a few months before. Without doing
any more business the industrial
companies may increase their earn
ings. Therefore, the reasoning that
applies 10 railroad shares does not
apply TO industrials. They are open
10 further speculative exploitation on
their earnings. 1t is a gamble on

Thursday, Sept. :, 1916.

On the rise in prices in the last
three DAYS there has been very heavy
liouidation. The power Of the mar
ket TO absorb it is remarkable. The
return of American securities from
abroad has enormously increased the
sunplv of stocks, but the cheapness
Of bank credit with which to carry
them has enabled the various bank
ING groups and syndicates to adjust
the supply to the demand. On every
rise in prices liquidation is resumed
On the declines it is discontinued.
In this way securities are said to
become "digested." A furious, head
long speculation in which brokers
get loaded up with lightly marglned
accounts has been avoided. Instead
Of being sold in any way to be ria
Of them. stocks have been "merchan-
dised" in a careful, scientific man
rer. A manipulation like the late
James R. Keene could perhaps sell
half a million shares of Steel COM
mon in two or three days on a wild,
excited market, but nine-tenths of 1t
would be sold south Of Fulton Street
