May IS, 1918.
Dear Friends:
| received packagae today from
the W. C. T. U. of Moscow, and not
knowing who in particular to thank,
l am writing to you all. I found a
good many things of interest in the
papers and magazines, and believe me,
several Washington boys who are here
sure did take to those Spokane
papers.
I have not seen any Of the boys
that were with me in Moscow for
months, but / hear from them now
and then, and they all seem to be
getting along we'll. The next time !
write I will tell them that their friends
in Moscow have not forgotten them.
According to the papers you are
still having trouble with the I. w.
WIS, but that the authorities have the
situation well in hand. / would not
mind coming to Moscow again as the
people sure treated us fine and we do
not forget it.
l am here as assistant instructor,
and like the work fine, although the
time drags awful. The weather has
been bad also, and of course that
makes it worse. However, we have
good barracks to live in and get plenty
# good food and the work isn't at all

War Made Canada
Her Own Banker
In First Half of 1918 $5O,OOO,.
900 Obtained Within Do
minion Borders

Since the United States went into the
war Canada has been thrown more or
less upon her own resources in financ-
ing her requirements. Previously, with
Great Britain occupied in financing her
self and her allies, Canada came here
and borrowed extensively, Canadian
loans in 1914, 1915 and 1916 running into
large figures. Now, however, the Do
mlnlon has had to be its own banker,
and so far appears to be doing sur
prisingly we'll.
In the first half Of the current year
slightly less than S5O,O0O,O0O in new
securities have been sold by Canadian
municipalities and provinces. With the
exception of a small proportion, all of
these securities have been placed with
Canadian investors.
The following table shows the extent
of financing Of this character since the
first of, the year:

West Would Like
Coolies for a Time
Common Labor Shortage Be-
ing Felt Most Acutely
ON Farms

Especial Correspondence of The Tribune)
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Business Is suf-
fering from lack Of labor, but the
scarity is not SO much Of war menace
IN the West as in the East, owing to
the concentration Of manufacturing in
the latter district. It has been felt in
the West principally in lack of farm.
and truck labor, but lines of industry
allied with agriculture have suffered
almost as much. To relieve this the
entire West, with a few exceptions
along the Pacific Coast, would welcome
a temporary lifting of the bars against
coolies and an admission for a restrict
ed period of Chinese labor. If 100000
IN the territory west of the Mississippi
to-day they could add one-third to the
production.
Importation of Mexican labor as a
relief measure has fallen down wo-
fully. These fellows will not cross the
border in any considerable numbers,
and when they do they are so thor
oughly unreliable that no work can be
planned and executed that depends
upon them.
The question of coolie labor in the
and the commercial and business in
terests fully recognize the necessity
of allowing these Orientals to come
here for short periods at least The
labor unions on the coast have blocked
every attempt to let down the bars. In
California they have absolutely pre-
vented any change in the immigration
laws. While their stand during times
OF peace may have had some logic or
reason back of it, during emergencies,
particularly IN the war period like the
present, it would seem that argument
against the temporary importation Of
Oriental labor is without much reason.
Labor itself is now beginning to see
that it is standing in its own light in
protesting against short periods of I'M
portatlon, because it is leaving the
entire West without common labor
Skilled mechanics will not work at
common labor, and, of course, skilled
mechanics make up the bulk of labor
unions.
Inability to get common labor during
the past two or three years has been
the biggest single factor against the
at least two years there has been q
so, 60 and Is per cent shortage in COM
mon labor throughout the territory
west of the Mississippi River, and
there is absolutely no hope of better
ing conditions unless low classed labor
is admitted from one source or an
other. Nowadays, with skilled mechan-
les forming the bulk of the labor
unions, these lower classed laborers,
particularly coolies, do not graduate
into skilled mechanics to any extent,
no ground to fear an encroachment
from that SO1lrce

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Stable conditions prevailed yesterday
in the foreign Exchange market. Pese-
tas, which showed some weakness ear
lier in the week, became strong
yesterday, and the rate on cables ad
vanced from $3.50 to 27.75. The gain
was attributed to the strength of the
demand for the bills, and foreign ex-
change men said they expected the
tendency to continue upward until a
definite announcement is made about
the attempt Of the American govern
ment to stabilize rates on Spain
through the negotiations of loan in

Expects Success i'm
u. S. Wire Control
But 'Bradstreet's' Says Change
Is Too Recent to Note
Effects

The salient features Of a week un-
usually full Of important commercial
and industrial happenings, says Brad
Streets" were further marked extern
sion of government control of produc-
ton, of distribution and of labor, more
urgent demands upon already full
capacities for still greater efforts,
some further shifting of the stream
of war orders to Western points from
congested Eastern areas, stimulation of
fuel production in greater volume, a
large, at some points, record volume of
midsummer wholesale and jobbing dis
tribution, fair to good retail buying,
mail order business in excess Of 1917,
improved collections, some shading of
food crop estimates and decided low
ering of cotton condition due to
drouth in the Southwest, a dull stock
high record bank clearings, close to low
record failure totals, and a slightly
quieter labor situation.
The extension of the form and sub
stance of government control to the
telegraph and telephone wires and to
the supply of unskilled labor has been
too recent to have allowed of the not
ing of effects, but so far no particular
untoward influence is visible, and pros
poets are that, as in the case of the
+, assumption by the government Of the
control of railways. the change will be
smoothly executed.
In industry the most notable feature
is the call upon the steel trade fol
even larger than were earlier antici
pated supplies of steel for shipbuilding
The less essential industry is still the
chief sufferer, whether because o1
scarcity of materials or fuel supplies
Where these are obtainable and deliv
cries are possible there is evidence o1
plenty of business offering.
In ordinary jobbing trade for civilian
goods it is still q case of more orders
than goods, but there are signs thai
as textile prices are better understood
there is a loosening up of producers
to supply demands.
"Dun's Review" says the distinction
between war orders and demands from
regular channels has become more
sharply defined, and not only is civilian
business beset with many difficulties
and uncertainties, but its volume
steadily diminishes as the constantly
expanding needs of the government re-
duce the supplies available for CONNER
cial uses.
With all energies converging in the
successful prosecution of the war, ordi.
nary operations naturally cannot be
conducted along the usual lines, anc
that the restrictions will tend to
tighten, rather than lessen, there is
every indication. But that the radical
wartime readjustments have been &C
complished with a minimum of unset.

Trading in stocks fell yesterday

Trading in stocks fell yesterday
to the smallest volume in months.
The turnover barely exceeded 1885,
900 shares. Price fluctuations in a
market Of such meagre proportions
can hardly be considered significant
At best they merely reflect the
whims Of the professional operators
who sell or buy stocks for profit,
regardless of the trend Of events
The market has been a narrow affair
for several weeks, and during this
period the great bulk Of the transac-
tions have originated from profess
sional sources The public is little
more than a spectator. Tight money
is probably an important factor in
curtailing speculative operations in
stocks, although the principal rea-
son for the absence Of outside par
ticipation would seem to be the un-
willingness Of the public to trade in
securities at time when the market
is beset with SO many uncertainties.
AS matter of fact, this is robably
the best thing that could happen, for
extravagant speculation in a time
like the present is not only unde-
sirable but unsafe.

Liberty Bonds Sell at Par

Liberty bonds of the first loan sold
at par yesterday for the first time since
October, 1917. Forty-hve thousand dol
lars worth of the 31a per cent securi-
bonds apparently arose from the desire
of certain persons to take advantage of
the tax exempt feature of the issue to
lessen part of the burden that will be
imposed by the new tax law now being
framed. The bonds sold as low as 1920
last January.

say either that pounds are at dis
