FIXED FREIGHT
RATES ON OCEAN
IS new SCHEME

London, Nov 4.-Representatives of
thirteen of the transatlantic steam
ship lines, in meeting just held in
London, listened with great attention
to arguments in favor of the proposed
international commerce commission by
David Lubin. Of New York and Cali
fornia, who succeeded in getting
through congress resolutions endors-
ing the idea. which has for it's object
the steadying of prices of staples
through the fixing of freight rates on
ocean bulk traffic.
Mr.. Lubin has succeeded in inter-
esting the big shipping men here in
his plan among them being Walter
Runciman, president of the board Of
trade, who is a member of a wealthy
shipping family. The meeting was
called by Sir Norman Hill, a great
Liverpool shipping magnate. Among
the lines represented were the Ameri-
can, Allen. Atlantic Transport. Asso-
ciated Lines, Canadian Pacific, Cum
ard, Dominion, Furness Witty, Har-
rison. White Star and Wilson.
Mr.. Lubin's address was followed
by questions from practically all at
tending that revealed general inter-
est in the plan. To questioners who
feared the result of such a strict con-
troll of the lines as to compel them to
conform to special rates, Mr.. Lubin
pointed to the benefits sustained by
the railroads in the United States
from the Interstate Commerce com
missions rules.
Before the Interstate Commerce
commission came into being the price
or the leading American railway
stocks on your market here were as
uncertain as those of common wildcat
schemes offered to the public" he said
But the stabilizing effect of the In
Commerce commissions con-
troll has. as you know Of your own
personal knowledge, converted them
into the highest gilt-edged securities. .

The Roman Forum during an inter-
after his first annual lecture there, a
lecture which was attended by
Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page and
other Americans. Said DR.. Carter
AN art renaissance has two basic
requirements, first, a crisis. then the
contributed wealth of a few people
This war has furnished both. Let me
explain the second requirement. While
this war has impoverished a majority
of the people of Europe, it has enrich
ed a lot of contractors and munition
manufacturers who after the war will
have more money than they can spend
Such men have even become art
patrons, stimulators. rather than buy
ers of old art treasurers. as happens in
countries where there are great
many millionaires.
This war will surely bring healthy
reaction in art. 1t means the death of
cubism and other follies. 1t will bring
the intense suffering and the sympathy
therefor which results in great art
productions. One of the peculiariti0
of the new artistic temperament will
be an apparent indifference to suffer-
ing. I have observed during my war
travels everywhere this apparent in
difference among people who 1 knew
were suffering desperate personal
losses.
THE new art mind will turn out
products that will astonish by their
beauty and by their bigness. This war
has been an inconceivably immense
thing, and it is making our minds ac-
customed to immeasurably big OBJ
jects.
81 look for American art to go for
ward, to get the inspiration of the
war, and to continue to lead the world
not only in bigness, but in beauty.

think they can hurry the processes Of
diplomacy by their influence become
sympathetic, fearful, importunate or
mandatory. The red tape of govern
mental business, however unwinds
slowly and finally the consul general
in London or Ottawa, or somewhere
else or perhaps the American embassy
makes representations to the foreign
government and the adventurer is re-
leased and sent home.
Until recently the British govern
ment has been promptly releasing all
Americans under Fl on the request Of
the United States government on the
ground that it is illegal for such a per-
son to enlist in a foreign army without
parents consent. Recently the British
government has shown a disposition
to reduce the age limit to eighteen

GERMANY BARS
iron EXPORTS

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nov. A.
Dutch shipbuilders and the entire
metal industry have been much dis
quieted by the recent restriction of
German exports of iron and steel to
this country. Shipbuilders are already
experiencing a shortage of profile
steel and other essential raw mater
ials, and unless an improvement soon
comes they ,rnay, despite their over
loaded order books, have to discharge
part of their workmen. Apart from
the big demands made on German in
dustrN by the manufacture OF NUM-
tions Of war, the latest measure is as
cribed in well-tnformed quarters here
to a desire to hamper shipbuilding in
Holland now that a part of the Dutch
cargo space has been acquired by the
allies. In view Of the difficulties de-
scribed, and the anticipated scarcity
of iron and steel materials, the Indus
trial commission has approached the

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it Is for old people to walk
slowly. For age Is never so active
as youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never SO much as at
fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Carcarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.
