all proportion. The natural outcome of all
this was that our domestic market has been
decidedly dull and fiat since the beginning of
the war. In short, as far as japan is con-
cerned, the war made certain number Of our
people extravagantly rich, but left others as
badly off as ever. Here in America people
seem to be all prosperous alike in the city and
in the country. On the other hand, Japan is
like badly heated house; she is over-heated
in spots; the back corners of her rooms are
filed with chilly air. And this difference be-
tween Japan and the United States accounts
largely for the somewhat ultra-conservative
attitude of the japanese banking interests all
through the rotous days of gold importation.
"But to go back to the main question, What's
going to happen when the war will have been
over? Judging from my own personal ex-
periences during and after the two great wars

| mentioned, it is likely that short period OF
industrial depression will follow the conclusion
of peace. Both the Japan-Chna war and the
Russo-Japanese war were followed by ten to
twelve months of depression. After that we
had period of business boom of a more or less
hilarious type of one year and half or two
years. And that in turn was followed by
long and protracted period of depression. The
after -the-war effects were similar in both cases.
although there were differences in degree and
duration. Now the question is: Is history go
ing to repeat itself in the case Of the present
war?
"Now, the course of economic swings-that
is to say, the succession of the war boom and
the depression, and again the after-war boom
and the attendant protracted depression which
we have seen in the two historic wars men
toned above-all the economic movements are

The industrial and financial dealings, unds
such circumstances, are colored by their som
bre mood.
I'm a neutral market such as the UnIta
States there are many people who look Tor anI
count upon the stupendous orders from III
governments of the countries now at war nj
mediately upon the heels of peace. They Hl
que that the arsenals and storehouses OF m|
belligerents are completely empty at the clos
of the war, with the inevitable result that ms
belligerent governments will rush in with OIL
ders to replenish their empty munitions stoI@
They seem to be in error. In the first plaa
it is impossible for the war-exhausted nau0n
to incur additional and enormous expenditure
of that type Immediately upon the CONCLUSIVE
of peace. They have many uses for what iI'l'
revenues and funds they can command az s1'A

"An Of the charitable and eie-
mosynary institutions Of the District

The executive committee in
charge Of the Washington campaign
met yesterday afternoon and de-
cided unanimously to recommend
| the Sunday morning closing fea-
ture to each pastor associated with
the revival. They will be urged
not to interfere with their Sunday
school session or their Sunday even
! ing service, but merely to defer
the morning service and give their
constituent members an opportun-
| ity to celebrate. with Billy. the
start Of the Washington campaign.
This recommendation will apply
only to the initial sermon of the
| noted evangelist. Later, the city
will be divided into four districts
and on each subsequent Sunday the
| churches in each district will be
urged to give up their morning
meetings and merge for worship in
the tabernacle.

ARMY WARNED
AGAINST MANY
YULE LEAVES
Department Says Furloughs
Should Be Restricted to
Tighten Rail Burdens.

p Relieving the railroads Of the great
burden Of transporting thousands Of
soldiers from the cantonments to
their homes and back for Christmas
Is Of such urgent necessity that the
War Department yesterday issued an
explanation why leaves of absence
should be curtailed wherever posi-
ble The reasons are:
If many leaves of absence were
permitted during the holiday season
the very considerable expense involv-
ed for q large proportion of the men
would create an invidious distinc-
ton between those who could make
such a journey and those who would
be compelled to remain at the camps.
'2-The intensive period of training
might be seriously affected by the
absence Of many men.
1.-THE chief reason is that the
transportational facilities Of the coun-
try were taxed to their utmost for
weeks in bringing to the mobiliza-
tion points the hundreds Of thou
sands Of men now there. and in
making the pecessary transfers of
men and materials between these
points. To add the burden of car
rying great numbers of these men
to their homes and from their homes
back again to the camps would be
q burden nearly insupportable.
Numerous requests have come to
the department regarding furloughs.
There have been no orders issued
against leaves. but every camp COM
mander has been urged to discour-
age any unusual number Of fur
loughs during the holiday time.
