eY REVIEW LEksEp WIRI

NEW YORK, April 2.-All eyes in Wall Street were directed toward Washington today. Monetary condi- tions remained easy, last Saturdays adverse bank statement being offset by the receipt of additional gold i'm ports which were placed to the credit of the entente allies. Closing of the books of the offering of the Pennsy- vania Railroad Company's issue of SeO GOO OO0 bonds several days in ad- vance of the appointed time because 0 ia large oversubscription attested to the confidence of investors.
 The uncertain state of the intena- tional situation was more strikinsiy exemplified in the complete withdraw al of rates of exchange on the Teu- tonic countries presumably in the abseice of any demand.
 Stocks were irregular at the open ing except for these issues in which pools have been active. The entire list moved forward by noon however, and was at highest levels in the last hour the activity of that period deriv- ing much of its momentum from short covering.
 Rails were irreuglar being handi- capped by further poor February statements of. earnings. Total sales 6S5.0O0 shares.
 Heaviness of high grade rails made for an-irregular bond market. Total sales par value, s2,S75,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
 CHICAGO GRAINS
 CHICAGO, April 2.--It was a day of record making in the grain trade. Wheat. corn and oats all reached new high prices for the season. Estimates that the winter crop was at the low est April condition in the history of the country did much to stimulate buyers into unusual activity and the market closed strong 2& to 43s net higher. with May at s1.9s2s to $ and July at s1.675s to 6. Corn gained BIS to 4ssc. oats fs to 15sc and pro- visions 71s to 4Oe.
 Corn was governed by much the same influences as the wheat market. Offerings were small and values ad- vanced quickly, notwithstanding as- sertions that the output of high wines at Peoria had been reduced one half owing to the high price of corn. Ac- tive. general demand for oats was prompted by the sharp advance of other grain. Reports of rapid prog ress in seeding were virtually ignored Although provisions at the outset were lower, in line with the hog mar count of the strength of grain.

University of Michigan board of
regents met yesterday; but took no
action toward a resumption of ath-
letic relations with the Conference.
Matters to come before the board
much be considered for a week, ac-
cOrding to an established rule, except
in case of emergency. Next month
the matter will come up for official
action, and unofficial comments lean
toward sanction for renewal of rela-
lions with the Big Nine.
Michigan and undergraduate bodies
are boosting for favorable action,
and Conference authorities are in a
mood to welcome the wolverines.

in his wholesale cleanup and it was
generally supposed that if Connie
thought Plank was through there
was no argument against it.
But Plank fooled 'em and is still
fooing 'em.
Plank will be in the harness this
year and tits not at all unlikely that
he will be out on the old mound serv-
ing up sOuthpaw slants in 1918 and
1919.
That is predicting far ahead. There
are many things which might hap
pen in two or three years, but with
out accident Eddie Plank, now AZ
years old, should be a factor in win
ming baseball games in the majors
for that time.
There are three secrets of Plank's
success as a pitcher and of his abiI-
ity to stay in the game longer than
any other fork handler.
The first is his brain, which has
caused him to conserve his arm to a
remarkable extent.
If records were kept on the num-
Der of balls pitched it would probably
be found that Plank has pitched less
balls to a season than any other
hUrler.
The second is his iron will, which
has made him a great money pitcher,
a man who could go out and win
against almost unsurmoUntable odds.
The third is his PuritanicaI obserV-
ance Of rules which keep him in con-
ditiOn. Plank has no bad habits, he
lives as regularly as a government
clock, he allows nothing to interfere
with his condition.
Plank has pecuIiarities. He believes
for one thing that every pitcher has
a certain number of pitched balls in
his system. For that reason he has
always grOWled when he passed a

Twelve European countries, including Eng

adopt daylight saving and are only waiting
for us to act
BY turning the clock forward an hour Ing

countries adopted daylight saving as war

assured
The New York Daylight Saving Committee

it reported out fayorably within few weeks.
In the interest Of economy OF fuel ana

Ultra-Democrats
Socialists Want More Than Other
Americans Are Willing to Try

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Ernest Bystrom has written letter
SC full Of inaccuracies about the Socialists
that you will surely print this in reply lie
says, socialists are supposed 70 be followers
OF cult founded in Germany by Karl Marx"
Any one who supposes that is ignorant or
the history Of Socialism. Socialism has been
international from the beginning. Very rev
of the Socialists Of England are MarXans'
The Socialists Of France had revised MARKHAM
theory almost out of existence long before
the war. America has Socialist literature
entirely unconnected with that OF Europe
Edward Bellamy, william Dean Howelis and
Edward Everett Hale, all Americans Oh the
cid stock, wrote books Of the highest value
20 the movement, without any inspiration
from abroad.
II is not true that Marx was Teuton.
He was a Jew. As he was "forty-elghter'
a rebel against the German autocraey VINO
srent most Of his life in exile, It is nardly
likely that he would, as Mr.. Bystrom sug-
eests, be supporting the Kaiser II ne were
living now.
Il is not true that Socialist parties in other
countries were ever ruled from German head
quarters. Democratic local management ana
home rule have been the practlce OF the
Socialists everywhere.
II is impossible for any one In America
10 write ntelligently about what the Social
lists of Germany have done since the war
broke out, for we know only what 'he Ter
man government allows US TO know.
Mr.. Bystrom seems to think that there is
q difference between socialism and democracy,
md wonders why patriotic American Social
lsts do not give up their socialism in favor
Of democracy.
The fact is that Socialists want more de-
raocracy than other Americans are willing
70 try. Socialism is the application OF the
principle of democracy to activities which
Lave not yet been made subject to popular
government-the production and distribution
ef wealth. Equal rights for all. and special
privileges for none"--snd the Socialist way
Of abolishing special privileges IS to make
item the common property Of all. Democracy
il slowly growing in America, and the Social
ists are doing the best they know TO make
II grow faster. The difference between the
uro-war and the anti-war Socialists has very
little 20 do With their feeling toward Ger
many, for the pro-German Socialists left the
movement in 1914. This is the real difference.
Most of them think that America has not
CROUCH democracy TO be worth hghting for
and that war will destroy what there Is;
New-York tribune., 1917-12-03

therefore, they oppose war. Some OF them'
indeed. most of the educated Americans in
The movement, value highly what we have and
trust the American people to preserve 1t
through all temporary sacrifices to military
necessity. They trust the American people
20 use their military power TO help democracy
n Eurone, and expect the war 70 rouse the
people from their grubbing after wealth ana
make them soldiers Of the common good,
democrats even in money matters.
We have not Gust seen how German social
ism has worked out the scheme IN Russia
The Socialists have so far allowed others 70
run the Government of Russia, and have very
recently undertaken TO run II themselves
Give them chance before condemning them
Russia has socialism OF its own, ages old
which autocracy never killed. Even we may
learn democracy from Russia.
Why slander the Firms? They are the fore
most democrats of Europe.

American Socialists, he should read Looking
Backward" ARCHIBALD CkAlO'

Past the Age Limit

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: was interested in your editorial
Volunteer Snow Removers," and as | had
a chance put in an application as sweeper,
when to my surprise was informed that |
was past the age limit which is forty years.
II the Street Cleaning Department is in
difficulty for the want Of labor, then why
en age limit? ! am ffty-fve years old, and
the activity that | show daily from a. m.
until IL and u p. m, doing hard work, con-
vinces me that am able yet TO do a good
few more years.
1t is a strange thing and unpstriotic that
an American born who has passed an age
limit cannot find work, and the preference
is given to aliens, who after serving time
leave the country TO spend the rest OF their
days and their little fortunes in the town
snip where they were born, while We Amer
leans can go from bad to worse and die
paupers. X. X.
