Three Year Anniversary Of
War ShouUs Great Changes

New York, July 21.-The third an
niversary of the great war is close at
hand. 1t win show changes infinitely
beyond anything anticipated. In the po'
litical, the economic and social worlds
new conditions and new forces have
been created that could never have been
foreseen. With the military aspects of
the war we are already painfully IA
miliar. War, itself, has been reYolu-
tionized and is still being waged on a
scale never expected and with a bit
terness undreamed. In the political
world the most remarkable changes
have arisen through innumerable ex-
Iensions of government activities. Prae-
tically all the beligerent governments
have plunged headlong into both pro-
duction and distribution of many neces-
sities, to prevent exploitation of the
public by the few, as we'll as to secure
more efficient conduct of the war. 1t
was very early recognized by the rulers
of all nations that high prices and pro-
fiteering would ineite political unrest
at home, and make it more difficult for
the various governments to carry on the
war. Germany was already largely

Iy jumped into control of shipping, rail
roads and the production and distribu.
tion of many staples, such as copper,
weol, rubber, food, ETC., etc. This con-
troll was necessary not only 10 shut off
supplies from Germany, but to insure
them for her home use. Other nations
followed suit, including the United
States, which, since entering the war,
has not delyed quite as deep as other
nations into government control of in
dustry. The movement here, however,
las proceeded on different and rather
less hazardous lines because we have
benefited by the experience Of others
and our dangers have been less acute.
Between government and people in this
country there has been far more eo-epe-
ration and much less Communicating
than was the case abroad. Our railroads
are voluntarily working as unit for
the government, receiving pay for their
services; while the British government
seized control of her railways; obiig-

1.-THE main credit for the successful
handling of the. blaze, which burned
over some 20o0 acres of logged off and
previously bumed over land, should be
aiven to General superintendent j. ~.
McGibbon of the Sheridan Lumber com.
panv. Mr.. MeGibbon kept the mill and
logging forces on the fire fighting hne
from the time the fire started until
late Sunday morning, when the flames
were corralled and all danger from a
fresh breaking out past. He also work
ed on the line with Ae men and was
always to be found where the fight was
the hottest.
"Due credit should also be given the
camp foreman, John Leitzel, who, with
the assistance of the fire patrol associa-
tion patrolmen and the logging crews,
worked until almost exhausted. Satur-
day night when all hands but rev
watchers were sleeping peacefully at
the camp, q report was sent by runner
from MI. MeGibbon, who was watching
the progress Of the flames, that the
fire rad broken out in new place and
was threatening to break through the
line of fighters. The men rushed up tine
mountain and worked until Sunday
morning when the flames were gotten
under control. -

Of price fixing it is to be hoped to

American business today faces in
Vulnerable uncertainties owing to the
revolutionary methods sevolved by the
war. American politics are equally in
state of flux. Many old issues have
completely disappeared, and not few
new ones will do likewise when peace
comes; so that no one can tell what the
final outcome will be, except that big
steps are inevitable toward the demoe-
ratization of industry. Europe, too,
must subsequently pass through period
of economic reconstruction in which
many old methods and institutions will
be swept away, resulting, we trust, in
wider industrial and commercial liberty
for the entire world. The fewer the re-
strictions between nations, the greater
the chances of permanent peace. What
the worlds political developments will
be cannot yet be estimated, except that
better democracy is in prospect, which
should improve social conditions and es-
tablish a new and sounder civil order
than the one so suddenly disrupted at
the close Of July, 1914.
The local money outlook has some
what improved. Call loans touched 10
per cent early in the week, but subse-
quently declined to more normal rates.
The stringeney was largely due to the
heavy decline in surplus reserve, which
resulted in very heavy Withdrawals of
government deposits 10 pay off about
Two hundred million treasury notes, and
particularly to the changed methods OF
figuring the national bank reserves, the
required percentages Of which have
been reduced, and which hereafter will
be held exclusively in the reserve banks.

affected by renewed capital Rppliea

Germs requiring capital will have to

WILSON HAS ANOTHER
HOUSEKEEPING JOB
VIII Change Make Up Of
National Defense Council
Next Step

Washington, July 25.-There is to be
one more big reorganization and then
Uncle Sam win settle down to complet
ing his iirsr year war program.
President Wilson today is ready to
announce the long expected change in
the present national defense council or
ganization.
Assured of definite end to wrang-
ling in the shipping board with the
sweeping changes made yesterday, the
president will now stake the slack =
in the defense council.
An industrial war board of six
members. directly responsible to the
council OF six cabinet members, will
be announced probably this week.
The war board will probably include
Bernard Baruch, in charge of raw ma
terials; julius Rosenwald, in charge
of finished materials; Frank A. Scott,
munitions, and three other men whose
names have not yet been ascertained,
These men will have executive charge
Of all the industrial work and under
them will work committees on labor,
medical supplies, etc A separate .pri-
ority board - to determine what pro
duets shall be given priority in ship
ment during the war will also be di-
rectly responsible TO the war board.
The advisory commission, to which
all the various subcommittee have
heretofore reported, will be retained,
but no longer in its former capacity.
Even as in the case of his shipping
board shakeup the president is making

here in an effort to break the strike

attacks had been continuous and fur
.;ous. His troops suffered enormous
casualties as the price of foot by foot
gains. Then these same French troops
who had endured the continuous bonn
hardment and attack, suddenly leaped
forward and swept the Germans out OF
their costly gains.
The reason for the German attacks

entity lies in the belief of the German
staff that serious Austrian peace ten
dencies must be overcome; the Tetuonic
opulation must be cheered up and en-
thusiasm raised for fresh war loans by
some stroke Of the army. In addition,
the observations on Chemin Des Danes
are dominant in this theatre of the war
and SO long as the French hold them,

order worked both ways--stuacnts
wouldn't be allowed to enter the camp,
ror soldiers to cross the road to the
