PREPARE BUT KEEP COOL

~ HESE are exciting and
VI critical times for Am
erica. The nation is
confronted by situation out
of which war may develop. We
have taken a stand for the de-
fence Of our commerce upon
fhe ocean and it may be set
down that we will accomplish
the end in view no matter
what steps may be necessary.
The decision of peace or war
hangs upon the attitude Ger
many takes toward our mer-
chant ships
Meanwhile the air IS filled
with the discordant shouts of
those holding extreme views
on one side of the subject or
the other. The war agitators,
Of which Col. Roosevelt is a
type, wax eloquent as to the
mammoth army the country
should assemble at once to
hurl into theEuropean fray. On
the other hand pro-German
forces and ultra-paeifists see
IN the trend Of affairs nothing
but = pro-ally program. for
getting that Germany herself
by her own deliberate action,
brought about the present
tense situation with the Unit
ed States.
The proper and natural
course for the country is to sit
steady and await develop
EFents. meanwhile of course
masking all preparations ne
cessaTy as is being done. It is
no time 10 turn firebrands
Ioose; 1t Is no time for propO-
Esnda of any sort in behalf of
amy foreign government. We
should play the game from an
American standpoint and no
other. If we must have war
let Il be for American reasons.
n we must wGge war let it be
done TO serve this country, not
some other power. If we can
attain our purpose without war
or through slight participation
an The war so much the better.
Yet this hope need not and
should not deter US from car
Eyinv out extensive and mod
srn military preparations. WaI
may come without our chOos-
fnr and Il would be O calamity

m~ HE stock market is oper-
VI ating under a maze of
conflicting conditions.
The possibilities of war with
Germany have seemingly been
discounted. There are few
stocks for sale in any direction,
although some temporary Ii
quidation was induced in the
railroad shares by the prospect
of a strike and renewed foreign
selling. Outside of the strike
situation, however, the conditi-
on of the railroads is favorable.
The Russian revolution was al
so regarded as a favorable de-
velopment. A decision on the
constitutionality of the Adam
son law is shortly expected.
The railroads are still burden
ed with traffic, which, how
ever, by means of improved or
ganization they are handling
more efficiently. Embargoes
are being successfully reliev-
ed. General business contin-
ues active and the outlook for
its continuance is assuring. In
dustrial plants in all parts of
the country are running full
speed full time. The steel
trade is particularly active,
with no signs of slowing down.
In fact all of the primary in
dustries based upon mineral
products show no cessation of
the abnormal activity enjoyed
for the past two years. Spring
is close at hand, and with it we
must expect the usual widen
ing of business enterprise, also
the development of the custO-
mary seasonal optimism; al
though crop conditions thus
far have not been satisfactory.
Monetary conditions are en-
