Terrace on Foreign Trade

-New Opportunities in Foreign Trade"
was the subject of an address delivered
yesterday by J. A. Terrace, assistant
manager of the foreign department of
the Guaranty. Trust Company of New
York, before the Kewanis Club, of this
city.
The Guaranty Company has just is
sued a compreheneiv. booklet dealing
with the same subject. entitled Taking
Stock of the Future" in which are out
lined the plans of various foreign coun-
tries for commercial reconstruction. Tins
company evidently believes In prac-
ticing what 1t breaches, as 1t has
just opened branch Office at Brussels,
SO as to be on hand to finance the re-.
construction needs of Belgium, or, at
least, take part In the work.
a banker in close touch with the
money committee In New York says
that, no matter what may be said to the
contrary, the situation will continue to
be- controlled by 1t for some time to
come. There may be slight modifica-
tiohs, he said, from time to time, but
until the nations finances have been
provided for the stock market need not

The future IN this connection, he said.
is yfull of uncertainties. and while with
the signing of the armistice the Govern
nient's actual needs have been very
much curtailed. 1t will still require very
larke sumo to maintain the army until 1t
is sdisbanded; besides. while the Gov
ersment is cancelling many large orders,
1t Is already committed to large pur-
chases on contracts which it cannot
avoid.

MARSHAL MUST ACT.
SAYS WICKERSHAM

New York, Nov. 27.-George w. Wick
ersham, Attorney General In the Taft
ADMINISTRATION, in an address here last
night said the Constitution makes it
mandatory upon Vice President Marshal
to assume the office of President II Mr..
Wilson leaves the United States to at
tend the peace conference. The address
was made before about 100 educators,
lawyers, bankers and merchants en-
gagged in International trade, who are
members of the Council on Foreign Re
latons.
THE projected journey of the Presi-
dent to- France and his suggested so
joprn there for an indefinite period"
said Mr.. Wickersham. brings up for
the first time in our history the uues-
ton OF the effect of such absence and
OF the powers OF. the Vice President be-
cause of such absence"
The eX-Attorney General quoted Sec
ton ! OF Article II of the United States
Constitution. which. he said. prescrihed
the mode of procedure in event'of the
Presidents removal from office. his
charge the duties Of said office" He
maintained that absence of the President
from the seat of government and the
country constitutes an inability to dis
charge the powers and duties of his
Office" within the meaning Of the law.
According to Mr.. Wickersham. the
two most important functions the Presl-
dent has to perform in connection with
session or Congress. at which time. he
explained. ut Is the Presidents duty
to be at the seat Of government" are
First, from time to time to give Con-
gress information of the state of the
Union and recommend to their consid-
eratlon such measures as he shall Judge
necessary and eXpedient,' and, second.
to consider bills which shall have passed
the House and the Senate. and. If he
approve, to sign them. and, IL he dis
approve, to veto them"
The ten days provided by the law
wherein the President must return a
according to Mr.. Wickersham, was in
tended ito give citizens interested in
the bill an opportunity of communcat-
ing their views to him." Thus the Pres
ident, he contended Is expected always
to be in a position to feel the pulse
of public sentiment" and 'if he Is not
within the country he cannot fltly dis

going to Europe to attend the peace
conference put himself in a position
where he could not exercise any of his
duties, his powers and duties, under the
constitution. would devolve upon the
Vice President
The Vice President emphasized the
fact that the propositions presented by
the former Attorney General were quite
new to him and that he was replying
to then informally and without mature
consideration. Nevertheless, he was
quite frank as to his attitude toward the
contemplated departure of President
Wilson and as to his own course dur
ing the Presidents absence.
Mr.. Marshall stated categorically his
attitude toward the three methods ad-
ranced by Mr.. Wickersham under one
OF which, in the latter's opinion. Mr..
Marshall might have to assume the du-
ties OF Chief Executive of the nation, as
| follows:
"One-With regard to the suggestion
that I might voluntarily assume the
presidency and raise n legal question
as to my right of tenure by some such
act as the signing of legislative bill {:
| l can state now definitely and positively
that I shall not of my own volition as
sumo President Wilson's Office or the
duties thereof If the President departs
from the United States to attend the
peace conference.
'Two-As for the suggestion that a
joint resolution of Congress might be
adopted to set the Vice President in
motion This proposal is entirely new
to me. and l am unable to commit my
self as to what would do IL the Con-
gress should adopt jointly such a reso-
| luton.
"Three-In answer to the suggestion
that court having jurisdiction might
mandamus me to assume the duties OF
the President: ] unquestionably would
assume the presidency of the United
states and exercise the duties of that
office If acourt having jurisdiction di-
/ rected me to do So"
II have assumed from the first that
| there WIS no barrier to Mr.. Wilson'S
leaving the country TO attend the peace
conference If he decided that 1t was his
| duty to 20 abroad for that purpose. The
only discussion as to the constitutionality
of such an act that ] have heard was n
| brief one to which / listened recently,
and which concerned itself solely with
the Presidents right to so. and not with
any question as to what would happen
at home II he did go.

Some Doubt Cars Death
Because of the secrecy maintained by
the Bolshevili at the time there are
many people who doubt whether the
Gear and his family were actually eX-
ecuted. Originally the Gear and his wife
and Ave grand dukes. including Michael
and Constantine, were brought here.
The Gear with his immediate family
was imprisoned in a private house. One
day the Rolsheviki made the neigh
bors move and placed machine guns
in the neighboring houses to prevent
outsiders from stealing Nicholas, which
the yfeared would be done.
Shortly before the Czechs approached
the Car disappeared. 1t is announced
that he was executed. The only evil
dence to substantiate this was bullet
holes in the walls and floor of the room
where his family was confined. A
special Ekaterinburg committee of three
was appointed to investigate. They saw

Today Ekaterinburg, the last home

BUSINESS CAREER
OF PETER FLINT
A Story of Salesn,ansl,ip by
Harold Whitehead

CCLN
As told Francis last night, it's one
\ thing to decide to work for a con-
cern, but another thing for the concern
to let you do It.
The Magnitude had turned me down
cold, SO I told Francis that should try
to sell real estate on my own hook,
Reluctantly he agreed that It was per-
haps just as we'll for me to try my
luck at it, as / had evidently made up
my mind to do so.
Well, this morning I took the train to
Clearvale carefully noted how long 1t
took me to get from the Grand Central
right on to the land I had in mind. 1t
was fifty-fve minutes.
The land was two stations nearer New
York than Leeville Park--where Lee has
his land It was quite good land, 30 far
as l could tell. The land had been
staked off in streets" and lots. but no
attempt had been made to cut the
streets through the land.
1t was fairly clear Of timber except
in one corner, where there was a grove
thought, and strolled over to give It the
up and down" 1t looked better at a
distance, for 1t had evidetly been used
for a picnic ground and was Uttered with
waste paper tin cans and bottles.
One thing I noticed was that the land
was high and dry--it wasn't at all
spongy like Lees land. Altogether, it
looked good to me and I felt that "
coud AK up q deal with the owner to
pay for 1t as l sell It ought to be able
to make a killing.
There was big sign on the land
which read:
FOR SALE
In One Parcel or in Single
Lots. Apply
Lucas Kellett, Clearvale. or
1414 Benzic Building, New York
While there I thought I'd find out IL
Kellett was in Clearvale then, so I
went to the station and asked the station
agent where he lives.
"Well, now" began the old chap, do
you know where Dead Mans Pond is?'
NO; never aheard of IT.!
That's too bad. It's quite a good zed
pond. Riley's son-n-law got drowned
in it-Riley owns the pond"
where did you say Kellett's farm
was?" l broke in again
II told ye, acrost the tracks," and
again he began to wander On to other
things, Fortunately, a train was due
and passengers coming in enabled me
to beat 1t across the tracks.
There ] asked a boy where Kellett
lived. He pointed to a long, low ram
bling farmhouse with an ell to 1t, and
a big barn which was connected to the
farmhouse by kind of covered passage
way.
I quickly got to the house and rang
the bell
II wish to see Mr.. Kellett, please"
What for?"
"I want to see him about the land he
has,"
See him in New York." and she
slammed the door in my face.
"Some CHEEKY little wife Kellett has.
I thought as I walked back to the sta
ton, where 1 had to wait half an houl
for the next train to New York.

During tho two years of it's existence there has been nothing spectacular in tho accomplishments of tho organization, but even g hurried scanning of it's records show many in- stances of it's effectiveness-in fact, there has scarcely besn . matter ai- fscting tho good of tho community that has not received tho cheerful support of tho Commercial Club. Tho club adopted & resolution extending an invi- tation to tho mining operators of tho district to corporate with the org ani- ration in securing several sadly needed improvements.
