Foreign trade will do much to
quicken American business after the
war, but business will also be great
" stimulated by domestic conditions,
for, while taxes may be heavy for
some years, they viii soon be reduced
mach below the wartime level; then
too, there will be no more need for
buvinp new issues of government
lords. and the millions OF people who
are now saving and economizing to
huy thrift stamps and bonds will be
free to purchase the many things that
annoal To them and contribute to
their comfort and happiness. Indeed

strain and stress of wartime saving

Readjustments in business will OF
course be necessary as the armies de-
mobilize and the boys come home

BUSINESS AFTER THE WAR
Will the War Be Followed by Bust
ness Prosperity or StagnatiOn?

Many people are wondering just
What vii, be the business situation
>-hen peace comes. A few are OPEN
" skeptical as to the prospect and
ere inclined to talk pessimistically
but evide ntly they are either short
sighted or altogether blind, for the
signs Of the times all point to great
business activity and prosperity IN
America after the war.
This country will be the one great
creditor nation. England, France,
Italy, Russia and other countries will
not only, like America, owe huge war
debts to their own people, but they
will be indebted to America to the
extent Of billions Of dollars. Then
too, the destruction of great areas OF
their urban and rural sections, and
the depletion of their resources will
make it necessary for them to cali
upon America Tor manufactured pIo"-

great quantities of raw material.
Moreover, the antipathy which all the

many and German products for many
Years to come as well as the cordially
which they are likely to feel towards
America for her powerful assistance
in destroying the German menace, are
certain to add greatly to the extent

the war not only with Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia and Canada, but also
with Central and South America. This

THE PURPLE EAST

We fear the Purple East presents a
very drab aspect to the Germans says
the Philadelphia Record. The conf
dence with which they annexed the en-
tire Orient-in their imaginations-
is the measure of their despair over
the news that they have been getting
from that quarter, not rapidly but
very steadily for good while.
In the first two years of the war it
was going to be trouble at all to elin,-
mate Great Britain from Egypt; the
Turks would do that. And with the
Bagdad Railway and the Persian Gulf
in their possession the treasures of
the Indian princes and the diamonds
of Golconda were not very. far away.
butch colonies would fklls into the Ger
man lap. With the collapse Of Eng
land Japan would eat out of Ger

Afghanistan and Beluchistan would
yield profits to Berlin and Hamburg
and Munich, and museum was al
ready projected for Stuttgart that
would show German capitalist the
easiest routes to the wealth of Or
muz and of Ind
I'm talking of these things the Ger
man papers scarcely used the future
tense. 1t was not necessary to go to
the circumlocution of speaking of
what would be by and by; it was just
as we'll to talk about what is; practi-
cally it was achieved
But the details have all gone wrong.
The Turks did not drive the British
out of Egypt, and the Suez Canal
failed to fall under German control
The British have advanced well
through Mesopotamia, and are about
60 miles from Mosul. In Syria the
defeat of the Turks, who were to have
conquered the Suez, has been followed
by their smashing by General Allen
by, in which probably 10000 Turks
have been taken prisoner and all the
artillery and transport and supplies of
two Turkish armies have been cap
tured. Turkey has no means of re-
placing these losses. Germany can
OF spare man with her own west
ern front caving in steadily and the
Americans getting close to the Briey
ore district. Bulgaria and Turkey
have not for some time been of any
value to Germany, but they

Germany that mirage of the Purple
East, which cannot survive the sinful

RIFT. IN HUN ALLIANCE

With the Welding OF the afHqeS OF

REALIZING SENDS
 COTTON PRICE DOWN
Hedge Selling OvercOmes Ad- vance Due to Optimistic View of War-ClOse is at Decline of 46 to S2 Points.

New York, Oct. 1.-An opening ad- vance on the optimistic view of the war situation was followed by de- clnes in the cotton market today un- der realizing and hedge selling. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of 46 to S2 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance on renewal of yesterday s buying movement, encouraged by the firm cables and rumors that Turkey was about to ask for an armistice if she had not already done so. There seemed to be more selling for South ern account than recently, however while there was profit-taking for over tomorrow's government reports. The close was at practically the lowest point of the day.
 General business was not active and much of the trading was believed to represent the closing out of old com mitments on the expectations of rath- CT bearish government reports to- morrow. Two more private crop re- ports were issued, one making the condition 58.1, against 50 last month and the indicated crop 12,50O,O0C bales, while the other placed the con dition at 55.6, compared with the gov ernment's figures of 55.7 last month The census report, giving the amount of cotton ginned to September 25 will be published at the opening and the final condition figures of the sea son will appear an hour later.

GERMANS SET FIRE ID POSITION IN FRONT
 OF FRENCH ADVANCE
Violent Explosions Mark Pro- gress of the POilus-Gen. De- beny COoperates With British to North of Town.

French Headquarters in France, Oct. 1.-French troops entered St. Quentin this afternoon
 Violent explosions were observed in St. Quentin beginning about 6 o'clock this morning. Gen. Debeny's forces, operating with the British to the north of the town, advanced beyond the St. Quentin Cambrai road.
 Between Urvillers and Cerizy the French are meeting with much stronger resistance by machine gun nests, but everywhere have advanced in this region south of St. Quentin.
 East of Rheims, Gen. Gouraud, in addition to taking large number of prisoners and guns, has captured great quantities of booty, including more than 200 narrow gauge railroad cars. Additional prisoners were taken Monday in the capture of Bi- narville, in the Argonne forest, and in the occupation of Marvaus and Aure to the west.
 The Germans appear to have de- cided to make a stand in the group Of hills northwest of Rheims called the St. Thiery massif. It is just west os hte old French line that ran along the Aisne Canal from Berry au-Bac to the region of Rheims Possession of this strong position is necessary to the Germans in order that they man maintain their present line further east, including the forts of St. Thierry and Brimont, from which they lombard Rheims

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 BEATEN IN SENATE
Resolution Fails to Get Neces- sary Two-Thirds Majority Advocates of Measure Have Not Abandoned Fight.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The woman suffrage amendment was defeated in the Senate today by record vote of B to 31. The real vote of the Senate, however, as shown by the pairs. was 62 to 34, or two votes short of the required two-thirds majority neces- sary to submit a constitutional amend ment to the several states.
 Hope for the passage of the meas ure at this session of Congress is by no means abandoned on account of the vote today Senator Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the woman sui frage committee, took the parliament ary advantage of changing his vote from aye" to mo-" after the meas ure had been defeated and before the result was announced, and gave mo- tice that he would move for a recon sideration of the vote on the next legislative day.
 A motion to reconsider requires only a majority vote of the Senate and is certain to prevail. The reso- lution embodying the amendment then will go to the calendar, subject to reconsideration at the will of the Senate.
 The hope in this move is that the fall elections will send to the Senate the two votes necessary to pass the measure. Four senators who voted against the measure today are serving by appointment and successors will be elected Nov. and will qualify at once.
