FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
HIyFs
MARKET WAS DULL,


 New York, Dec. 19.-Trading in se- curities during the greater par: of to- days session was dull to the point of stagnation, the stock market itself being most often overshadowed by further persistent liquidation of Lib erty bonds.
 This condition experienced a sudden transforma tion in tl'a final fNur when heavy selling of high grade shares. notably rails. swept over the stock market, effecting extreme reversals of two to four points.
 The outpourng of transportation is- sues was unaccompanied by any eX- planation other than a statement is sued by Director General McAdoo which again emphasized the possibil- fly of extending federal control over the railroads to five years.
 Transactions in Liberty bonds at tained enormous proportions, the fourth Ifs contributing more than their usual quota at the new low rec ord 9472. This represents a depre- ciation of about 3 IA per cent. from their initial quotation on the stock exchange.
 Various theories were advanced in explanation of the further break in the governments latest war Notation, these bearing mainly on he cash re- Quirements of corporations and instf- tutions early in the coming year.
 This theory lacked plausibilty. how ever, as call loans were plentiful at to 1-4 per cent. and long time funds were freely offered at 3-4 per cent, slight reduction from the ruling rate of the past month.
 Among leading stocks U. &. Steel made a better showing than other in dustrials and equipments. forfeiting only a large fraction Total sales of stocks were 100000 shares.
 Traction issues were heavy with Liberty bonds. but the international group held steady. Total sales, par value. aggregated s20, 300 900.

 "The challenge of which you not eed us by cable. for series of races in Septemhe~ '"r" ~-ached us yes terdsy. December 18th.
 While we fully appreciate it's cor dial and Friendly expressions, we must frankly saI to you that the members of the New York Yacht club are strongly of the opinion, that. with peace not yet concluded. with q long list of casualties still 10 be reported, with returning transports bringing rome our wounded and with condi- tions unsettled as they are. this is rot an appropriate or fitting time for us to arrange for a purely sportinc event Of such importance as a match for the Americas cup. Accordingly # seems best that we suggest to you tlat the challenge be withdrawn. If al some future date. when there is no question on either side as to the pro rriety, you wish to challenge with Shamrock w for q race in 1920, we shall accept the challenge 10 be de- ft nded by one of the boats which we built in 1914 for that purpose.

 MT.

Under his administration the opera tions of the Army Y. M. c. A have grown until there is now in opera ton, or in process of construction, one Y. NJ. c.

FROM 4 GERMAN VIEWPOINT
German hilosopher's Idea of Chris tianity Does Not Appeal to
 Americans.

Frederich Wilhelm Nietzche was one of the most noted of modern Ger man philosophers How much has his philosophy affected the views and character of the Germans of todayY Is not the answer written in the blood of the women and children, the old men of occupied France and Bel gium? Are not the Lusitania victims witnesses to German adoption of Nietzche's faith?
 Here Is his indictment of Chris tianity:
 With this I conclude. and pro- nounce my sentence: I condemn Christianity. To me 1t is the great est of all imaginable corruptions. The church Is the great parasite; with it's anemic idea of holiness 1t drains life of all it's strength. it's love, and it's hope The otser world Is the mo- tive for the denial of every reality call Christianity the one great curse, the one great instrinsic de- pravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous. secret, under hand, to gain it's ends. I call 1t the one immortal shame and blemish up on the human race"
 A prompt absorption of the Fourth Liberty Loan will not only help to win the war but will relegate Metz che's vicious philosophy to oblivion.

"NOT A NATION"

They said that we were not nation; Just a medley from various lands; No national heart and no national
 soul; With no hope and no wish to join
 hands. Nothing to hold us together; No aims anu no dreams that we
 shared; Ideals and Backgrounds all different; We couldn't make war-if we
 dared Then the word blared forth to the
 country, Close ranks! For the Flag of us
 alt And the faith that brought us to-
 gether Shone out at the CoIors call. One cry came back from the people. From Latin and Norman and Slav: America! Freedom Is threatened Take all that we are and have We know what we sought when we
 came here: What we're working for, every
 one, And that work has bound us to-
 gether. "It will hold till eternity's done. "We give you our lives and our dol lars,
 'We will work; we will fight; we
 will die; For the faith that has builded a na-
 ton
