NEW YORK, May 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
said today:
The pace set by the professional
element in bidding up specialties yes
terday was too rapid to hold and the
market experienced a reaction this
morning. The rank and file in brok-
ers Offices ascribed the setback to
the uncertainty surrounding Ger
many's reply to the American ultt-
matum, but in reality there was no
more occasion for nervousness over
the international situation today than
there was yesterday or for that mat
ter than there has been since the
state department uttered It's bold
words and demanded that Germany
abandon its submarine policy under
the penalty of a severance Of diplo-
matte relations with this govern
ment.
Conservative banking interests
have maintained ever since the recov-
cry set in a week ago that the pools
and cliques were taking a great deal
for granted regarding the crisis. The
general public apparently has held
similar view and it's participation in
the movement has been meagre de-
spite a little outside buying engen-
dered by the special development in
international mercantile marine

A Filthy Habit.

Cedar Rapids Republican: What
are we to think of Sioux City? There
the women recently waged a cam
paign against splitting in street cars
and on sidewalks. Think Of such a
movement being necessary In any
modern city. 1t is almost impossible
to realize that in any place the men
still spit on the floors Of the street
cars. Think of it-and they. are still
doing 1t in Sioux City. Surely 1t can
not be the white and civilized men
who commit such atrocities; it must
be the Sioux Indians who still Turk
about that place, SO some fasteners
think. OF all the dirty, nasty, filthy,
detestable habits Of mankind, this of
splitting anywhere and everywhere is
about the worst. The man who in
dulges in such practices ought to be
arrested and punished, there is no
other treatment that fits him and the
Sioux City women ought to be en-
couraged to make that city at least
as clean as the rest of us think our
cities are.
