MESSAGE FROM AID CLUB PRESIDENT
GREETINGS AND FAREwEILs

By JOHN X. ALLEN.
The handclasp comes from ancient
Rome,
The kiss from older Greece;
The early Hebrew wished the home
To be Il place Of peace.
But handclasp. kiss. nor keen desire
!. For peace. brings not the free.
Fine sense Of friendships warming
fire.
Aloha does to me.
BE joyful' was the Greek salute;
BE careful" the Roman word;
Good morning" and How do you do"
Show cur solicitude.
These all seem cold and meaningless,
All vain formality,
Compared with that fine friendliness
Aloha" means to me.
The German says "Auf Wiederseim,"
The Gaul bids "Au revoir,"
A rivederci" on the plain
OF italy we hear.
These words of parting and farewell,
Seem tame, unkind, untrue,
To one who learns the loving spell
Aloha" casts Ger you.
The Spaniard speeds with Adde'S"
b The Frenchman says "Adieu,"
The Anglo-Saxon with "Goodbys'.
Commends his God TO you. -
These farewells lack that from above,
Which binds the good and true,
They lack that quality OF love 49,.
Aloha" has for you.
Aloha" when come to you,
Means much. as well know.
1t means warm hospitality
And friendships burning glow.
1t means a closer. stronger tie
OF friendship pledged anew,
But lasting as the years 60 by
"Alohas," mine, to you.

LAUNDERING OF THE ALLIES IN THE
BALKANS

BY Frank H. Simonds in the American Review of Reviews
What a sorry mess the Allies have made Of the
Balkan situation is now clear. Their diplomacy
lost them first Greece and then Bulgaria. their dip
lomacy-and Sir Edward Grey was chiefly at fault
host them Serbia, sacrificed to British ignorance
of the facts of the Balkan condition. Indeed the
responsibility for the first and most terrible of all
bunders, the escape OF the Goeben and the Breslau
TO Constantnpple and the subsequent failure of the
British feet to follow them up the straits must rest
upon a British admiral. 49,. :....
Gallipoli, Serbian disasters, Rumanian collapse,
,hese are the measure of the Allied muddle in the
Balkans, and now the last new factor has been
eliminated There is no further chance of enlisting
Greece, of persuading Bulgaria to change sides,
Of solating Turkey, and then opening the Straits.
Comfortably the Allied army may hold Saloniea,
but the value of this military consideration has
disappeared, now it is only a question of whether
the Allies can afford to abandon Serbia for second
time, even when the Balkan game is played out.

SITUATION IN THE COPPER MARKET

During the period of uncertainty what the policy o Washington going to be- the inquiries of domestic manufac have been few and far between and some interests m copper being esrous of selling the market has been weak manufacturer want buy when he has been gwen understand by Washington that the price of copper going be reasonabe and going to be the same to everybody Of course there doubt what Washington by ssreasonabe possible that 27 28 cents pound will reasonable However the idea has been pro noted the price for copper going to be lower than noW and therefore the manufacturer naturally stays out o the market.
 If the price for copper is to be lower it will be- we think owing natural conditions and not to any ukase by Washing Washington may commander copper and other things for the purposes of the government leaving the price to be deter by the courts but Washington is not going to abrogate the law of supply and demand matter what theories that subject be entertained Manufacturers and other consun CTS of copper might well make their minds to that The price copper going be determined by the quantity of it that the world requires The price must be such as will produce
 that quantity When msod stocks begin to accumulate the signal will be hosed that the world not needing much
 Ter being produced and after brief period of sabiza ton the market will commence to off It IS the natural thing for market to have the balance wheel of an so stock market natural unless be in that condition
 yet stocks of copper have not begun to accumulate If there signs of such accumulation they were but or adc The supply of crude copper i'll of the refining capacity and undoubtedly there accumuatons of crude copper However the check in production by the current labor troubles rapidly reducing such accumulation if complete reduction has not already happened and the time IS Tn sight when the renersm m not have sufficient material This is pleasant prospect either for domestic the American government or our allies.
 At tune when all possible production of copper was badly needed production has been checked For this Washing ton is directly and quaedy responsible The talk emanatng from quarters in Washington to the effect that the price for copper must be reduced the direct inspiration for the labor troubles in Montana, Arizona and elsewhere The miners in those rego have been paid according to sliding scale based the price for copper If the going to duce the price for copper there would be reduction Therefore the strikes The said that they would keep their wages the basis of 30 copper matter what might happen the price, and in view of the shortage of labor they had the whip hand.
 Why should copper be singled out target for Washing; ton to shoot a The price for copper has not experienced the fantastic advances that have happened in other metals The price of copper hgh to be but considering the market it has not been materially higher than the prices real zed in 19O607 which period of purely industrial boom, and the present price for copper actually lower than hen although conditions of production far adverse
