Today is the time for laughter;
 Tomorrow the time for tears. Whatever may come hereafter,
 Whatever of woe with years; Today is the time to borrow
 The best that the gods can give. We can sorrow, if need be, tomorrow, But today is the time to live.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: The economic
problems occasioned by the war are
becoming more sharply defined, and
doubt about the readjustments still to
be experienced impose restraint on
business in not few directions. With
price uncertainties continuing and
with the effects of the export embar-
go yet to be determined, there is hest
fancy and waiting in many quarters,
and in some instances rather more
evidence of the seasonal lull than APP
peared last year. To a not inconsid-
cradle extent the lessening of regular
demands in certain leading branches
is attributable to the Discrimination or
inability if producers to engage them
selves further; but buyers are also
disposed to proceed with greater eau
ton pending a clearer insight into the
future, and purchasing by consumers
is more conservative. Yet there is no
apparent loss of confidence, and the
absence of speculative tendencies in
trade and industry is a wholesome
feature.
While reason for encouragement is
found in the improved grain crop pros
poets, with indicated yields well above
recent estimates, and in the comfort
able condition i'm money. Weekly

GERMAN GENERALS SPUR
THE RUSSIAN DETREAT
Fighting Along 25-MiIe Front in North
ern Galicia-Victory for Prince
Leopold of Bavaria.

Prince Leopold of Bavaria is max
ing the most of the disaffection that
under extremist influence developed
in the Russian army in northeastern
Galicia, and is pressing into the Rus
sian lines along a 25-mile front be-
tween Zlochoff and Tarnapol.
The Russians were in retreat in
this sector all day Friday, according
to their account, which lays the brunt
of the blame upon the failure of GER
tain commands to obey orders. The
Russians burned villages and made
havoc in the countryside as they fell
back, the Berlin statement reports.

THE TENSION BETWEEN

Suspected Austrians Being informed

Washington, d. C.-Quite different
in tone from the optimistic view ex-
pressed by the new German chancel-
lor in his speech to the reichstag are
the reports reaching the state depart
ment from persons coming out OF
Germany regarding the food condi
lions and outlook in the central EN-
pires.
While this information necessarily
is secondhand, state department
agents are careful to forward only
such news as in their opinions de-
mands credence.
Standing out in strong relief in the
reports is the statement that Ger
many lacks no less than 100000 tons
of wheat to carry the population
through the middle of August, when
the new harvest can be gathered.
The harvest also is very poor In
eastern Prussia owing to adverse
weather conditions, and even pota
toes promise only a minimum produc
ton. Many people are starving in
Poland
Tension between Austria and Ger
many is declared to have grown sc
that suspected Austrians are now be
ing informed in Germany.
The centrist leader Erzberger, is
reported to have charged the govern
ment with manipulating U-boat stats
tics, to give warning that the mon
archial sentiments of the people are
diminishing daily, and to have ad
vised the government never again to
threaten German strikers with ma
chine guns. as has been done at
Stettin.
