Instead of being crushed with the
torrent of words and their significance
his aunt leaned her head back on the
sofa and laughed until she cried Poor
Paul thought she was hysterical with
grief and modification.
At last she rose. walked to the man

TRUSTS GET A RESPITE.

The attorney general has postponed
all pending antitrust suits until the
October session of the supreme court.
when, as he gives notice, he will ask
that they be passed over until the end
of the war. The main reason for this
action is that, in case the government
should be successful in the litigation,
the several companies involved will be
compelled to dissolve into their con-
stituent parts and that an undesira BILE
disruption will occur in the nations
business, together with financial diff
ficulties which may arise in the course
of necessary new financing incident to
the setting up again of the numerous
small corporations. which now COM
prise the big ones which are under
suit. These reasons will apply no less
forcibly when the war is over than
they do now.
When the war is over, we and all
the world will be engaged in a com
mercial reedjustment wherein the dis
ruptior which the attorney general
now fears, may be and probably will
be, more disastrous than it is now
Moreover, by that time the people may
have learned that what is good policy
for a nation at war may be good pol
icy for a nation at peace as well
The antitrust suits have been post
poned. II is likely that they have
been wholly abandoned.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Substitute for Cedar Chest.

Take a box any size desired. Line
it with green cambria or chambray
and fasten small branches of cedar
between the box and lining. then wrap
two or more small branches separately
in tissue paper and place them among
articles. such as furs or wool cloth
ing.
This is an excellent protection from
moths or other vermin. besides giving
the articles pleasant odor in marked
contrast to that impaired by moth
balls.
The cedar in paper can be renewed

DUTY WELL DONE.

What the country needs for the
speedy and successful promotion of
the war is more men like Doctor Gar
field, men who when they recognize
an emergency meet lit with firmness.
The barrier to progress existing on ac
count of the fuel situation could be
thru it.
The main business of the war, the
sending of men, munitions and sup
plies to Europe. has been halted by
lack of coal for the ships. In New
York harbor alone 11S vessels were
lying idle, unable to sail owing to
dearth of fuel. OF what avail is it to
enlist men, to continue to manufac-
ture war material and to accumula tie
ported OF what avail is it to con-
struct more ships if we cannot move
those We already have?
Doctor Garfield's order doubtless
works many hardships upon employ
ers and employees. but this is time of
sacrifice. When a country is engaged
in war some body must pay and some
body must suffer. There is little
time for selecting those best able to
stand it.
1t is useless to say there was a bet
ter or an easier way. 1t is folly to go
to war with gloves on. The time had
arrived when it was imperative that
something be done to relieve the stu
alton confronting the country. Doctor
Garfield had the power to do that
thing and he did it, not needing the
protests of members of congress or of
those whose business interests are af-
fected. In the course which he has
pursued he has the backing of the
president and he probably will receive
the ultimate approval of the entire
country.

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

The quick eye and unflagging vigi-
lance of a United States sailor has
made possible the capture of a Ger
man U-boat and all of her officers and
men. This occurred in the war zone
when American destroyers were es-
corting various vessels to port. CoXs-
vain David d. Loomis. of the destroy
er Tanning. saw at some distance from
his ship the periscope of a Uboat not
more than a foot above the water
Three minutes later the Tanning was
heading for the German craft and had
dropped a depth bomb and swinging
around had fired charges from her
deck guns. The enemy craft was soon
disabled and the men came on deck
and surrendered to the flaming
Loomis is from Sage, Mich. He has
been commanded and advanced for his
part in the capture. Loomis's action
and quickness in reporting is an evil
dence of the good work being done by
men on the lookout of American yes
sells dealing with the German under
sea craft.

THE LIBERTY BOND MARKET.

Liberty, bonds of the second issue
fell to the low record of 96.0S in the
New York market this week. 1t is
evident thai there was a considerable
amount of deliberate over-sub-
scription. with the intention of
selling during the liberty loan
campaign, and that this was en-
couraged by solicitors. Interest was
conferred upon making up the local
quotas and persons were urged to
subscribe upon the theory that the
bonds would have a broad market
and could be sold either at par or
stances the seller expresses himself as
satisfied to take a loss, as the cost of
doing his bit" for the government
not realizing that there are airy fur
Their consequences.
1t is important, says bulletin is
sued by the National City Bank Of
New Y ork, that there shall be better
understanding upon this point the
country over. After such a campaign
as the last one has been carried on in
every city and village for weeks it is
lIIlpOSSIDle lIldI there SnOulQ De a large
unsatisfied demand for the bonds.
When the war comes to an end, and
the issues cease. the floating supply
of bonds Will be soon absorbed. and
the price probably go to a premium,
but the market will not take them un-
der present conditions except at a DIS
count. Moreover the seller at a dis
count has cone something more than
| make a small personal sacrifice. He
has disturbed the market for govern
ment bonds and affected the outlook
for future issues.
1t is hoped that the rate will not
have to be raised. not only because a
higher rate will increase the cost to
the government, but because it will
have an unfavorable effect upon the
capital value of all outstanding secur-
| tiles and investments. But can the
government place another issue of 4
per cents at par when the last issue
is selling en- the market at several
points below par?
| Each individual who sells govern
ment bonds below par is exerting an
influence which may compel Il higher
rate in the future. and relatively
small aggregate of sales may cost the
| government very heavily il the rate
must be higher on a large issue run
! ming over term of years.

TRAVELETTE
Dome of the Rock.
BY NIKsAB,

Dome of the Rock.
The Mussulman's grief at the fall
of Jerusalem is largely centered in the
fate of the Dome of the Rock. For
centuries, davout Mohammedans have
journeyed to this spot, which they,
count second only to the holy places
of Mecca in religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is
the sacred rock about which host of
traditions, Jewish. Christian, and Mo
hammedan, have been collected. From
this rock. Mahomet assembled into
heaven on his steed Ell Borak, the
lightning. Here also, If tradition is
worth anything, rested Noah's ark,
and Jacob saw the angelic vision
This spot is eighteen miles nearer
heaven than any other spot on earth.
and the Turks accept the old Jewish
theory that this is the center of the
earth Here on the Judgment Day
will the angel ISRAELI stand when he
sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept
or reject them as you will. But long
and heated have been the learned dis
sertaticns to decide whether this iden-
teal spot already overcrowded with
associations, is the site of Solomon's
temple or of the tomb of Christ.
Science now leans toward the former
conclusion and grants that very likely
the rock marks the place where stood
the altar of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock is a
worthy rival of the Tai Mahal in
beauty of design. The building is oc-
tagonal like mosque, and popularity
called the Mosque of omar, to the dis
tress of the well informed who ooint
out that it IS only a shrine and that the
true Mosque of Omar is a small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
Mohammedan worship is as yet I'M
disturbed by the victory of the Chi
tians. the chief difference being that
the Mohammedan is now the tenant
and the unbeliever the landlord.

was necessary to divide the range on
