CARLISLE, PENN, May 8. - John
Wanamaker, in a letter read at the
luncheon Of the Chamber of Commerce
here to day, declared it to be his belief
that the -four years following the end
OF the war, would be the most pros
porous four years ever known in this
country. He predicted, at the same
time. that there would necessarily be
4 jolt and 4 reimbursement when the
war stopped, but he expressed the opin-
ion that the government would control
such high quantities of money at that
time. that it would amply be able
to maintain business equilibrium
throughout the disturbed period
"I firmly believe regular steady. un-
specqlative business" wrote Mr. Wana-
make. "has no reason to be dscour-
aged or scared. I do think. though.
that wise merchants and raw material
buyers should not overload themselves
with stocks at the present high prices.
Bette we should buy sparingly and re-
pleniih.

which will have a stupendous income
