AFTER THE WAR, WHAT?

What changes are likely to be wit
messed in the present interesting and
undoubtedly confused economic rela-
tionships after the war is over? asks
Alexander Dana Noyes in THE Finan-
cial World in the February Scribner,
and Mr.. Noyes continues: That
France, because of her peculiar facili-
ties and adaptabilities in production,
will speedily regain her former place
Gas she has always done, in rapid Sc
quence to her military defeats of the
past) may be taken for granted. Rus
sia's immense natural resources ensure
similar result. Austria's problem is
political rather than economic; finan-
cially bankrupt in the course of the
Napoleonic wars. European opinion
has inclined to assign a somewhat sim
liar fate to her on this occasion: for
she entered the war in an exceedingly
precarious financial situation. There
are left, of the important belligerent
states, the two real protagonists of this
war-Englapd and Germany-and the
powerful neutral nation which for the
moment has economically superseded
both. To the American mind, the
question which first appeals is, wheth-
sition as at least the wartime finan-
cial center of the world. The ques-
ton is not so simple as is occasionally
assumed, either by those who predict
continued occupancy of that position
or by those who declare such result
impossible. Englands primacy has
been an outgrowth of her financial
systems long unchallenged soundness
which is now, perhaps, in a way i'm
paired. But it is also an outgrowth
OF her position as the workshop for
other nations; of the fact that both
her productive facilities and her ac-
cumulated capital have for centuries
exceeded home requirements; of her
free trade with all the outside world,
and of the worldwide predominance
of her merchant fleet. Granting that
on this occasion the American finan-
cial system will emerge from the war
time period with a prestige superior
to that of England-as attested by the
depreciation on the exchange market,
in terms of American money, of the
currencies of all the greatest states of
Europe including England-this coun-
try would still hardly duplicate Eng
lands position as regards the other
attributes. We shall not be, as Eng
land of necessity is, primarily the
workshop of the outside world. A
vast field of home development still
awaits our manufacturing output and
our capital. We have not dared, and
probably shall not dare for many
years to come, try the experiment of
free trade. We are giving no fair
chance to our merchant fleet, so long
as we fetter 1t by a peculiarly absurd
brand of protectionism, which seems
to appeal irresistibly to the fresh
water navigators and the inland COM
munlties of the great west,

until recently, while religious teach
ing has been barred from the public

out of the school work. The result is
that large numbers of American chill

THOMPSON NEEDED IN SENATE

Among the current political pipe
dreams may be placed the story from
Washington that President Wilson is
seriously considering the appointment
of United States Senator Thompson to
the vacancy on the supreme court
that was created by the death of JUS
tice Lamar. Senator Thompson's re-
tirement from the senate would in
volve an appointment of successor
for his unexpired term and this ap-
pointment would be in the hands of
the Republican governor of Kansas.
And at this time the margin of the
Democratic control in the senate is not
of any too large proportions. Further
more, Senator Thompson is an admin
istration" senator and the administra
ton is sorely in need of all the sena-
torial timber it possesses.

AT THE AUDITORIUM
Ginger Girls Musical Cornedy Go. and Marguerite Clark in Mark Twain's Prince and the Pauper Next Week.

An unusual attraction comes to the Auditorium theatre on next Monday for a weeks engagement when CahilIs Ginger Girls Musical Comedy con- pany will make it's initial appearance in this city. The company is sur rounded by a cast of unusual excel lence, including such favorites as Jack Fairbanks and Florence Major, late in the Hap Ward farces; Mary Nash, Gladys Hfnley, Louis Kulde and challenge chorus of bewitching sing ing and dancing beauties. The com pany has the reputation of being the pest and most ela.borately gowned show in musical comedy today and carries all its own scenery and effects aud a most complete production with each bill may be assured. During the weeks engagement at the Auditor ium the Ginger Girls will present two bills, making @ complete change on Monday and Thursday.
 The opening bill for Monday, Tues day and Wednesday is a new and ori ginal satire on the suffrage question entitled Bringing Home Father This is a rapid fire musical comedy novel; ty, abounding in laughs from begin ming to end and introduces hosts of musical melodies, including Love Comes Stealing. Give q Little Credit to Your Dad, She Is Good Enough to be Your Baby's Mother, Blirky- Winky Chinatow Parodies, An Old Fashion ed Garden in Virginia, Plantation Days, Save Your Kisses Till the Boys Come Home and the beautiful march of the Black Huzzars. Three perform ances will be given daily at 2.30, and ?, the regular scale of prices being re- tained.
 On the picture program for Monday and Tuesday will be the five reel Par amount feature, Marguerite Clark, in Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper.
 The photoplay catches with unerring fidelity the spirit of the great author, transferring to the screen the indefi- nable wealth of rich hUmOr which has made the story a household treasure, beloved by everyone to whom it is fa- miliar.
 Marguerite Clark who is featured in the dual role of the Prince and the Pauper reaches the artistic climax of her career in her marvellous interpre- tation of these distinctly different, yet closely associated characters. Her exquisite artistry was never displayed to better advantage than in her spirit ed enacting of the charming prince and her sympathetic portrayal of the pathetic little beggar.
