sterling at. say, s4.756O. The intrinsic
parity is s4.9c5s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at a premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Enc,

UnOOuDIediy Cne supply OF money
will exercise a paramount influence
on the stock market in the coming
months just as it has since last
spring, when the Federal Reserve
Board launched its campaign for
the conservation Of credit. No i'm
portant expansion of Stock Ex-
change loans will be countenanced
by those who are in control of the
situation, and a big speculative
market is, therefore, practically out
of the question for the time being,
But nothing more serious than that
is to be expected. There is no foun-
dation for reports, such as were
current yesterday, that drastic
calling of outstanding loans was i'm
pending and that the market was to
be put on a basis of cash transac-
tons only. 1t is possible that if the
loans outstanding were decreased
automatically by reduction of the
speculative position, brokers might
find it difficult to expand them
again, even to the present small
total, but that is the worst that is
likely to happen, and it is not i'm
possible that, instead Of further con-
traction, the money committee, once
all the facts are in it's possession,
may favor some slight expansion of
loans. The market will have to get
along on thin rations, but it will not
be starved for lack of funds. Mean
while the steady buying of the bet
ter stocks-particularly those re-
garded as "peace" stocks--may con-
tinue. Therefore it by no means
necessarily follows that the restric-
tions on speculation will hold prices
down, as some traders apparently
believe to be the inevitable result of
the money restrictions.
The Stock Exchange put ban on
rumors some months ago, but there
is no visible evidence that it has
ever made an attempt to enforce it's
ruling. 1t might profitably investi-
gate some Of the recent rumors re-
lating to money. There is little doubt
that such rumors have adversely af-
fected the market in the last few
days.
Considering the heavy losses in
working forces through the draft
and enlistment, the report of New
York State factories for July, show
ing the greatest number Of employees
on the payrolls ever recorded, is
surprising The total number OF
persons employed was 2 per cent
greater than in June and 6 per cent
greater than in July, 1917. The ex-
planation is probably to be found
largely in the employment Of wom-
en- on work formerly done by men.
To a considerable extent the in
creased activity of manufacturers
may be attributed to the pressure of
war orders, but 1t is a significant
fact that only three industries re-
ported decreased working forces,
and in each case the decline was sea-
sonal. 1t follows, therefore, that
the non-war industries have also
been speeding up, in spite Of the
thrift campaign.

tion of his term, in March, 1911, was
the dean Of the Senate, was born in
Oxford County, Maine, June 8, 1886.
He began public life as attorney for
Hancock County and held the job nine
years. After serving in the Maine Leg
islature from 1867 to 1888, he went to
Congress for three terms. In 1874
President Grant wished to make him

his seat in 1881, and was reelected con-
tinuously until 1905.
Senator Hale belonged to the big

Connecticut, Hanna of Ohio and Alli-
son of Iowa. With the gradual retire
ment of these men, through death or
political exigency, the Big Six" was

Despite That Fact

MI. Wilson accords the Republicans
no credit whatever for having sup
ported the "war measures" proposed
by his Administration, although they
have done so with greater unanimity
than the members of his own party
Despite that fact, he accuses them Of
having tried to usurp his proper func-
tions. That charge, as Mr. Taft de-
clares in carefully measured words
is not true. At no time and in no way
have they tried to take control of the
war out of his hands. The President
knows that. The country knows it.
A more ungracious, more unjust
moro wanton, more mendacious ac-
cusation was never made by the most
reckless stump orator, much less by
President of the United States, for
partisan purposes. 1t is an insult, not
only to every loyal Republican in
Congress but to every loyal Republi-
can in the land. 1t fully merits the
resentment which rightfully and
surely will find expression at the

Especial Dispatch to The Tribuue)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--In an
nouncing that she is awaiting the
armistice terms which will be
granted her, Germany is believed
here to have forced the hands of the
Allies on the question of whether
or not they accept President Will
sons fourteen peace terms, and his
subsequent peace speeches.
In his note of last Wednesday
night, President Wilson told the
German government he would sub
NIT the request for an arn1istice
made by Germany to the Allies. with
the suggestion that if they "are dis
posed to effect peace upon the terms
and principles indicated, their mill
tary advisers and the military ad-
vlsers of the United States be asked
to submit to the governments asso-
clated against Germany the neces-
sary terms of such an arrnistice."
German Propaganda Aided
1t is pointed out here that Great
britain, France and Italy cannot
very we'll, under the terms of this
note, agree upon the terms of an
armlstice without approving or dis
approving the Wilson peace condi-
tlons. Meanwhile, it is pointed out
Germany will be gaining the fu,,
propaganda benefit of her peace Of
1enslves while the note writing goes
forward.
Those who believe that the whole
German move is insincere. declare
that Germany's request for an ar
mlstlce terms is obviously made
merely for conversational and pro-
paganda purposes President Will
sons language as to the terms of an
armlstlce leaves no doubt as to its
intention to render Germany help
less from a military point of view
"nlle the peace negotiations are in
progress.
