The general deplored the lack of proper backing for the National Guard. x Referring to the act passed by congress known as the act of. June 2. it will soon be necessary for Con- Eecticut to contribute $500 members from the National Guard, whereas at present the entire membership is but $500. To the local manufacturers, General Cole made stirring appeal for their assistance in bolstering up the National Guard.
 State President Jones.
 President E. P. Jones of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce was next called upon. He extended con- gratulations and felicitations to the local organization for the fine attend ance and on its success in securing such noted speaker as President Rhett. Touching on the war situa- tion, President Jones said that after the manner in which the census work was taken up and the formation of a Home Guard was affected there was no need to fear that Connecticut was not ready should an emergency arise. Speaking on business con- ditions, the speaker said that every OAC To WHY cNSy lIylIS u IldhS $G.VO go further than ever before. Years ago. competition was keen among business men, now there is more cooperation.
 In alluding to. the United States Chamber of Commerce, the speaker lauded the organization for the work it has accomplished, growing from a small beginning to the largest or ganization of its kind in the world. Glowing tributes were paid by the speaker to Frank H. Johnston, a member of the board of directors of the National Chamber for his untir- ing efforts for the success of the or- ganization, and to Secretary A. H.. Andrews of the local chamber, who is also secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce.
 In referring to Mayor Quigley's re- marks concerning the barge canal, President Jomes said that he is of the belief that Frank H. Johnston and his associates in the movement have not given up hope of having Major Goethals build it soon, and when it is. completed, MT. Johnston will see that it is properly armed for protec- tive purposes. President Jones enu- merated some of the things that the State Chamber of Commerce favored, such as a more equal and efficient method of taxation explaining that the

phone conversation with President Landers yesterday afternoon, Governor
 Holcomb explained that he was tired
 out by the stress of duties occasioned
 by the sessions of the general assem- bly and on this account he would not be able to be present. Governor Hol- comb said that he had a duty to per- form for the state of Connecticut, which he was going to carry out, and if a situation arises whereby the na- tion needs assistance, he as governor would expect to see every man present

Individuality rather than CO.,

1 Der fs... Individuality rather than CO., operation was extensively carried out | in the primitive days of chamber of commerce work. Today, however. finds the members of the United States Chamber of Commerce banded together as in unit with their nu- merous committees at all times striv- ing with questions which are deemed helpful for the country, making every city a good city to live in as well as a good place to do business in. To further show what public spirit will do for a community, President Rhett told of recent visit to Akron. O., where he visited the rubber fac tories in that place and was amazed at their vastness. InQuiring of one of the heads of the concern about the first start of these plants, he was informed that the owners of the shops located in Akron, because they felt there was no other city in the country comparable to it. Thus the speaker. said, is a samplery of what public spirit will accomplish.
 Prior to 1911, the business men of
 the country had no representative organization in Washington, to care for the many important questions that are constantly up for considera- ton in congress. Men with the high est ideals were approached and soon the United States Chamber of Com merce was formed. The speaker said that it is his firm belief that the organization is the most democratic in the country. By means of refer endnms, issued to all chambers in the country, every member has a voice in every matter up for consid- eration, and the board of directors is governed by the voice of the mem. bers. It is a pledge of the National Chamber that nothing shall be asked of Congress that will be considered selfish.
 . In speaking of the rapid growth of the chamber, the speaker paid a glowing tribute to Ex-Presidents Wheeler and Fahey. At the recent annual meeting of the chamber. Y1sne- teen referendums and seven resolu- tions were acted upon. Some of the national issues such as the tariH Ques- ton, have been considered by the chamber and when passed favorably by that body, many scoffed at the chances for its final passage by con- gress. But President Wilson finally signed the bill and named a commis- sion to take up tariff work. Another important measure in which the wis., dom of the United States Chamber of Commerce was sought was the fed- eral trade commission. The chamber at the present time is deeply inter- ested in the creation of foreign commerce commission. which will make a study of trade conditions in countries in the eastern hemisphere. Favorable action was given the mer- chant marine, the banking and cur rency act and universal suffrage, and while the chamber does not claim credit for putting things over, still its members feel that sensible and sound attention is given to such i'm
 portant matters.

road strike, President Rhett said that 8 year ago the chamber was asked to ] involve itself in the controversy but 1t was deemed wise to let the pub lie decide the matter. ssrsl.s Tn conclusion, the speaker said that new spirit has been born in the bus mess man of today, a spirit which has broadened him and brought happiness and with 8 continuation of this spirit the game happiness was bound to exist.

most are absolutely worthless. Even
the best of such issues will sell at
very much lower prices when the
stock market has fully discounted
peace.
Therefore experts warn investors
that this is not the time for new
ventures because the stock of new
ventures is bound to fall with the
coming decline And a further de-
cline of the market is expected by
close students of the ticker tape.
Where, two weeks ago, the drop
in II well know stolks from the
highest point this year to the mark
lat that time, was Ii per cent, the
fall of the same IL stocks from
their highest point i'm 1917 to their
mark on November was % per cent,
showing an increase of per cent in
rapidity of decline.
The table of the twelve stocks men
toned, in which Honolulu capitalists
are heavily interested, is as follows:
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-11-03

1t must be remembered by invest
-ers that the new companies. being
formed while offering glowing esti-
mates of possible profits fail to men
ton the high cost of materials and
of operating. the increase in wages
and the heavy tax on profits, if there
are any profits to tax. Usually the
circulars of these new companies cite
so.ae successful company in the same
line of industry as evidence of the
wonderful profits that can be made
and in fact give more information on
other properties and the industry in
general than on the company in
question.
The Mushrooms
Close followers of the market note
that it is always after prosperity and
at a period of decline that these mis-
cellaneous companies appear in num-
bers. Some of course may have merit
and ultimately prove successful, but

ency on the market.
Money Tight
The second great reason for the
slump in Wall street is the money
situation, which is strained TO the
last degree because of delays IN
transportation resulting in merchants
and dealers asking for more ana
longer credits, the harvesting OF the
largest crop in the history OF the
country with double normal prices III
force, and thirdly. because OF the
Liberty loan drawing off a consider
able amount of money. The third
great reason for the decline OF the
market is taxation. The new war
revenue tax cuts deeply into the
profits of all corporations ana Is
causing the stocks to fall.
The fourth reason for the markets
slump and one which was felt in al
most every kind of security was the
italian defeat. The result of that
defeat means an increased burden
flnanclaly ana OtaelHi50 oh Aiiioi iSet'
and students of stock situation view
that burden in much the same light
as does James w. Gerard, former
ambassador to Germany. Gerard
says:
Gerard's View
Il want to tell you that the mill
tary and naval power of the German
empire is unbroken.
"The 100000 men and more, for
at least 100000 come of military age
in Germany every year, because OF
their experience in two and hall
years war are better and more Ell
ficient fighters than at the time when
they were called to the colers.
This view is held by the majority
of financial experts, who do not look
forward to an early peace or a peace
by revolution in Germany.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-11-03

Nevertheless it must be admitted
that the report of mutiny in the
German navy has had tendency to
temporarily halt the general liqulda-
ton, thus allowing few to get from
beneath before the next slump.
Each drop in the old established
stocks makes them a better buy, the
experts declare. They point out that
for five months now the trend mas
been downward and therefore q tenn
norary change Is due.
The short swing will be the ideal
opportunity to Iquidate low-yleid
stocks for a further slump Is ex-
pected, and when it comes there will
be excellent opportunity for bargain
buys in old established stocks. Let
the new stocks alone and walt Tor
