War: Economy.

England has avoided a few seri-
Gus mistakes in this war. One of
these was the sudden stoppage of
business and trade by overdrastic
economy. The marvellous financial
stamina which the British have
shown is due as much to their war
motto of business as usual" as
anything else.
The United States should heed
England's good example. A busi-
ness depression in America would
do much to hurt the Gauge of the
allies. We must keep them fed;
they must have ships; money to aid
them must be poured out. And it
is not possible for Washington to
wave a magic wand and have all Of
these things trot forth, regardless
of the condition Of the nation.
Uncle Sam must have few coins in
his jeans before he can give them to
q worthy cause.
The preachment Of historical war
economy.can scarcely fail to wreak
havoc on our financial hopes. Money
must be kept in motion; business
must flourish; there must be no
stagnation of trade, if we are to
rsise $1,000, ,OOO,O 900. A sound econ
omy education is much to be desired
for those we'll meaning but misguid-
ed persons who are preaching to the
masses the doctrine of don't buy
anything and help win the war!"
The true version of this doctrine
is: Come, stagnate business, put a
crimp in the banks, force a panic,
and you'll help win the war;" So
they will help win the war-but for
whom?
Our economic structure is deli
cate organism. Its various parts
are almost magically interrelated.
The girl who works in the cotton
mill spends her wages in the depart
ment store for necessary clothing.
Deposited in a bank, it can form the
basis of credits to the government,
or to any number of other business
enterprises. The store will, in turn,
pay its employees. They will pay
| the butcher, the baker and the gas
man. And thus. slowly but imper-
ceptibly, the money will work its
way about the throbbing veins Of
business. 1t will return at last to-
the girl in the mill. as wages again
paid. If this money was not in the.
business arteries, they would dry up
and perhaps atrophy would result.
And that is what wave of false.
economy can produce.
Let US not clog up the arteries Of
business, if we expect to finance the
war. Let US all remember the les
sons of past wars and the present
war that il takes trade to accumu-
late enough surplus for the govern
ment. Extravaganza is not called
for, but neither is the equally vicious
extreme of financial amputation.
This is England's lesson to US. "Busi-
,, ness as usual" is a motto to blazon
over the land as a slogan for finan-
cial success.-Chattanooga News.

tion that his child wife of twenty

the information and stated that he
had asked Attorney Murray Mcclure.
who Is temporarily in charge Of his
case, to write to his wife and one of
his daughters by a former wife, who
is said to reside with her husband in
Council Bluffs, Iowa.
DR.. Chamberlain took HIS wife to

would follow her later to Nebraska to
spend the winter. In a telegram to

pressed surprise at hearing of the

Goochland county grand jury and
held for trial is not definitely known.
MCGUIRE, who was first called into
the case, stated that since most Of
his practice was OF q civil nature, he
suggested that Mr.. Smith, who de-
Tended Henry Clay Beatty, be re-
tained.
Both Smith and MCGUIRE have held
several conferences with Chamber
lain In his cell. The most significant
statement yet made by either was
that Of Attorney Smith, who declared
that mo man could possibly have
committed the crime and have been

This stat>ment is taken by many to
mean that an insanity plea will be
relied on by the defense In the event
the doctor Is indicted and the case
goes to trial
Goochland county citizens are de-
manding q special session of the
grand jury to investigate the case.
They want It speedily disposed of. 1t
is the opinion OF Sheriff Massie and
other court officials that the case will
not be taken up until the December
term.

Who would you say was the opera

man at the engine or the man at the
wheel-as such to be held responsible
for operating it while in an intoxi-
Gated condition in violation of one of
the provisions Of the new Sheppard

Judge Mullowny, in the District
branch of Police Court today cut the
Gordian knot squarely in two, and
heavily fined both Robert L. Haugh
and William Armstrong. of 4112 K

the kind to arise on the Potomac
river here.
Under the old law there was no pro-
vision covering watercraft. The new
law puts the penalty upon the man

Dean testified that, in his opinion,
both men were in charge, as one was
steering and the other at the engine.
Judge Mullowny fined them 500

afternoon by Policeman Totten. The
boat was drifting aImlessly about in

WALL ST. MARKET
STRONGEST OPENING IN
YEARS RECORDED.
Gains Range From One to Eight
Points as Prices Go Up at Faster
Clip Than They Had Dropped At.
Proof Of Enormous Organized
Short Selling.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-one OF the
strongest stock market openings in
years following limiting of short
selling was interpreted by market
followers today as proof OF enormous
organized short selling in both rails
and industrials. Gains ranged from
l to s points.
The market went up faster than il
dropped.
In the reaction that followed Steel
common sold down from 9SIS to 95il I;
Canadian Pacific from 1877 to 1875: Ma
rine preferred from 101 to 90, and
American Sugar from 100 to 97Ik.
General motors sold off from 93k
to 81.
Indications pointed to a more con-
structive market when trading quiet
ed. Setting of minimum prices
in the Pittsburgh Stock Exchange
had no effect here, as Pittsburgh
prices apply to local issues.
Prominent brokers believe the
short sales ruling will come after
forced selling orders have been ex-
ecuted.
Trading was quiet in the second
hour. Prices were firm, excitement
having disappeared.
