WAR AND BUSINESS.

Writing of the business situation
and its relation to the war, Henry
Cicws in his Financial Review says:
Financial activities are at their
minimum; due to midsummer quiet.
also to uncertainties connected with
government action. In view of the
multiplying restrictions imposed upon
Industry by war measures no great
resumption of business can be imme-
6iately anticipated. The whole nation
is wrapped up in a single purpose;
that of driving the war to an early
and victorious end. Another liberty
loar- campaign will soon be launched.
This means further sacrifice. further
economy and further concentration
upon war ends.
What with high prices on the one
hand. and high taxes on the other,
consumption of many articles Is be-
ing severely restricted. Consumers
and producers alike are feeling rising
costs; new enterprises are practically
suspended, and all operations extend
iig into the future are being conduct
ell with special prudence. Such eau
ton is necessary. not only for the OBJ
ject Of periodically helping the gov
crnment but also better to meet the
general war strain.
The country is already very active
" preparing for the next liberty loan.
which will be offered in a few weeks.
Bankers and financial institutions are
busy with plans for the new campaign,
which will surpass all others in energy
and sweep. All financial institutions
are outstanding their resources; credit
is being more or less restricted: mer-
CT ants are being advised to purchase
moderately, manufacturer are re-
qCir"d to economic as much as pos
s'hle outside of war orders, and every
thing points to universal conservation
JIst to win the war. This is as ii
should be; for self-denial means self
II eservation: but it will not and can
| net be continued indefinitely. and be-
f'fe very long the country will be as
! onergetically discounting peace pros
poets. Consequently present inertia
should bs patiently borne and regard
| ell as only a passing condition.
| After the war there will be a quick
| ieeum, ton of activity. not only to fill
tie great voids created by five years
Of destruction and starvation, but also
to meet the requirements of new and
deferred. enterprises. Our factories
or railroads. our ships. our mer-
chants and our financial facilities will
al be taxed to the uttermost: and. al.
| :ho the sailing may be rough during
the reconstruction period, the daring
ts.1d the akillfuf will win big rewards

The spirit of the men in the
trenches under all of these discomforts
and hardships is reported to be re-
markedly fine. There is not much
protest or blaming of anyone for any
thing. The usual attitude is well go
home when the job is done. so the
sooner it's done the BETTER Many of
the men have quietly fatalistic at
titude; they do not expect to get back
alive, and regard it as a pleasant sur
prise every time they come out of an
action unhit. Others spend all of their
time planning what they will do when
they get home again.
The point of all this is that life in
the trenches is an unnatural life of
mental, physical and nervous strain,
which a man endures by calling upon
the reserve strength of his manhood,
and which is endurable at all only be-
cause it is soon to end.
When his two weeks do come to ar
end, the soldier goes into billet. Billet
is village perhaps twenty miles be-
hind the lines, where the soldiers are
quartered in houses, and fed at the
regular army mess. There are daily
| formations and drills, but the mer
have most of their time to themselves
There are Y. NJ. c.. A. huts with their
| books and games: probably there are
movies, and perhaps a singer; a series

Fluctuations between sales were un-

Profit taking appeared and the pre-
ponderanee of wire orders was on the
selling side Then the market gave
good account of itself, exhibiting un-

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Paris, Nov. 2S.--Met Earl Reading.
The first of his race to achieve the title
in England since Disraeh was made
Earl of Beaconsfield, apparently is
having a prominent part in the present
proceedings, as prominent part as the
element he epresents-finance. His
handsome countenance is to be seen
alongside Lloyd Georges almost always
when the latter appears outside the
suite of rooms occupied by the British
Mission, opposite the American suite.
/ L say handsome; it isn't an exact des-
cription. But take the full beauty OF
Joe Davies, of the Federal Trade Board
and blend with the err likeness of Sec
retary McAdoo and you have Lord
Reading. An amiable, interesting man
to talk with.
Visited the Russian Embassy, over
back of the Chamber of Deputies. 1t is
not the place Of forbidding gorgeous
ness one would expect, after experience
with the Russian embassies in Wash
ington and London. There is very sub
dued atmosphere about the mansion
behind its high wall in Rue de Gren-
ellie. 1t is. occupied by Sevastopoulo,
charge affairs, as well as Maklakoff
whom Kerensky sent to be ambassador
but whose position has been uncertain
since Kerensky's S government was upset.
Am to see Kaklakoff later.
Dined in the Latin Quarter with Crib
BILE. There was lots of atmosphere en-
route. Intervening was hazy, mellowing
the outlines of the buildings along the
Seine till the effect was like one of
Maxfield Parrish s gray pictures. The
streets were quite and uncrowded. The
venerable nag pulling our cab had
things pretty much to himself.
Our cafe was the Pantheon. Every
one has heard of the Pantheon and its
art student revels. Since eating in the
Latin Quarter is an event. IL tell ex-
actly what happened:
We were shown to table. A waiter
took our order. We ate our dinner. The
waiter brought the bill. We paid it and
got out.
And there you are. The only possible
thrill was offered by the bill, but even
highway robbery ceases to be thrilling
to its victims after a few experiences.
Gribble knows most every town in
Europe and has lived in about half of
them. He has the distinction of liking
London and admitting it, which few Of
us do. Also he likes Boston, New York
and points West.
He talked about the Opera, the latest
Paris production, Jeanne 'Arc, in par
ticular. He didn't like it.
Greatly" he said, "even in wartime
you wouldn t expect them to produce
tableaux vivants' for a grown-up aud /
