EXPECTS GOOD
MARKETS IN NEXT YEAR
Worlds Need of Production and
Credit Complicate Present
Domestic Situations.

(From Financial Dept. Of n. Y. Evening Post. J
LONDON, December 27.-The opti-
mism Of the kings speech was reflected
in the Christmas eve markets, and
there was much talk of buoyant mar
xets in the new year. in spite of the
fact that great volume of new capi-
tai issues is expected. Hopefulness
over the business and trade outlook
is justified. Prospects for stocks do
not seem equally bright, though in
vestments may receive a passing
stimulus from the gradual cessation
of government borrowing.
The worlds needs for credit and
production are too great to justify
credit for speculation, which our
bankers hold should be rigidly stop
ped here, in America and everywhere
else.
Better Banking System.
1t is believed that the effect of your
improved banking system will become
increasingly operative, in the sense of

!. lation and those prosperity crises"
which in the past have often robbed
you of wealth. Rights guided. it is
considered that the future. can only

and financial power of America
People in the United States should
carefully note our new currency reg
ulations. Briefly stated. these mean
that every pound of the currency note
fiduciary issue above ESQ. 900, 900, the
amount now outstanding, must, after
the turn of the year, be covered 9Th
bank notes. The chief interest in this
proviso consists in the fact that a
conceivable excess might arise in
this bank note cover. occasioning a
further increase in the reserve behind
the currency notes.
The next bank return will neceS-
sarily show a weak cash position,
due to the expansion of the note cir.
culation, and that huge bankers funds
have been accumulated for balance
sheet purposes. The position will be
emphasized by the fact that the re-
turn will be made up on the last day
of the year. The condition will be
temporary. however. and Improvement
in January is certain.
Relief for Devastated Areas.
In financial circles here it Is con-
sidered practically assured that
America and England will cooperate

EXPLOSIVES FOR FOURTH
BARRED in STATE ORDER

1t must be a safe and sane Fourth
Of July for Tennessee this year, ac-
cording to Walter Bell, fire proven
ton commissioner for this state.
This is to prevent the usual heavy
toll Of life caused by guns, giant
crackers and other explosives, and to
prevent the usual heavy losses of
property occasioned by these explo-
sives, either in storage or from fire
resulting from their explosion.
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters started this movement for
a safe and sane Fourth, and seeks
to prevent the ban being lifted on
explosives in the various states. The
rules governing the sale and storage
Of explosives in this state win be
strictly adhered to, according to
Commissioner Bell, and he calls at
tentiOn of the public, and especially
handlers Of these articles to the
rules governing the same.
"All over the country this move
ment is being taken up and all states
will stick to the plan followed during
the war. No pre-war policy will be
tolerated, and in this way we will
prevent loss Of both life and property.
Mr.. Bell urges that the Fourth be
observed in the true American spirit,
but that the use Of anything that will
endanger either property or life be
forbidden in all sections.

SAVINGS STAMP SALES m
TENNESSEE SLOWING DOWN

Chattanooga, Tenn. June 2l.4
Sales Of war savings stamps in Ten
/ nessee, while keeping pace with the
average Of the country, have fallen to
so low a figure as to cause the war
savings organization to inquire
closely into the cause of the slump.
! Officials at state headquarters in this
city have reached a conclusion that
the status of the campaign is due
wholly to wrong plan of operation,
which if not modified very soon, will
bring only a further slump and ul-
innate failure Of the campaign in the
Volunteer state. Under the direction
of Atlanta authorities Tennessee has
been unable to keep its splendid or
ganization alive in the various coun-
ties. Idleness, lack of "pep" in the
methods pursued, absence of any kind
of a program or goal, discourage
ment of sales campaigns-all have
c0nspired to lose the influence and
assistance of an organized band of
workers numbering into the thou
sands and composed of the same
people who effected 80 millions of
sales in 1918.
Figures are at hand of sales of
stamps through all the postoffices in
the state for the first week Of June,
showing the aggregate to be only
S15,310.04. The last week Of May
produced only $9,2Q8.27, the increase
in the first week Of June being, of
course, material, but far from sat
isfactOry.
The treasury has changed its at
titude toward this movement lately,
Officials calling now for sales as a
financial aid to the government. 1t
is admitted that the money is need
ed and the people will be called upon
to loan their money in small amounts
to assist in tiding over treasury af-
fairs. This change in attitude be-
came apparent during a recent con-
vention of federal directors at Wash
ington, when Secretary Glass told
his savings organization that sales
Of stamps were to be desired as fl
nancial matter as well cnnuioaa
nancial matter as we'll as continual
ton Of the campaign Of thrift.

Ships, Hoist Old Imperial COlOrs
and Swim to Shore.


London, June 21.-All the German
ships at Scapa Flow have been sunk
with the exception Of the battleship
Baden. This was officially announced
this evening. The statement, which
was issued by the admiralty, says:
According to reports, all German
battleships ami battle cruisers were
sunk, except the Baden, which is still
afioat. Five light cruisers were sunk
and the other three had been beached.
Eighteen destroyers were also beached
by local tugs. Four destroyers are
still afloat. The rest Of the destroy
ers were sunk. The German rear adj
miral and most of the crews are in
custody aboard our ships. Some
boats from the ships refused to halt
when ordered and were fired upon.
Small numbers Of Germans were kill
ed and wounded.
"In accordance with the terms Of
the armistice, the German ships were
interned with skeleton crews as care
takers and without British guards
aboard.
Farmers living nearby state the
German flag was hoisted as the
crews proceeded to sink their vessels.
The German fleet was scuttled by
the crews opening the sea cocks, ac-
cording to a. ThursO dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company. The
Germans swan ashore.
The German fleet was surrendered
to the combined allied fleet off the
Firth Of Forth the morning of No
vember ri, 1918. The incident had
no precedences in naval history, since
more than 100000 tons of enemy war
craft in first-class condition hoisted
the white flag without firing a shot.
The German ships were at once taken
to Scapa Flow, land-locked harbor
in the Orkney Islands, about 200
miles north of Edinburgh, which has
often formed the principal base Of
the grand fleet during the war. There
the enemy ships were dismantled SUI
ficiently to render them powerless.
A portion Of each crew, it is under
stood, was maintained aboard to pre-
vent the vessels from falling into
disrepair.
The peace conference has not yet
determined upon final disposition of
the German fleet, although a major
ity Of allied naval officers favored
towing the vessels out to sea and
scuttling them, after removing brass,
copper and other valuable metals.
The German submarines, which
were surrendered the day before the
main fleet, were taken temporarily
into Harwich and since have been
scattered about among several allied

Mr.. Nice also pledged himself to
work for the development of the ma
tural resources of the State and
bringing about a closer physical un-
ion of the Eastern and Western
Shore.

also on the ferry and had long
chat with the Republican candidates.
They met the Governor again yester-
day afternoon at the Dorchester
County Fair, which was attended
yesterday by more than 600 per-
sons from all sections of the county.
The Republican candidate was
piloted around the Fair grounds by
Mr.. Andrews and Mr.. Edwrad S.
Phillips, candidate in the primaries
for the nomination to fill out Mr.. An
drews' unexpired term in the Senate.
This Cenatorial fight in Dorchester,
by the way, is now a three-cornered
affair. Mr.. Phillips, who gave Mr..

! Andrews a hard run for the nomina-
tion two years ago, is now supported
by Mr.. Andrews and he counts on
this to assure his election. Charles
H. Gibson, young lawyer, is his
strongest opponent, and claims to
have found strength in what is term
ed a large anti-Andrews element in
the party in this county.
Gibson was defeated for the House
of Delegates two years ago. Vernon
S. Bradley, another young lawyer
and former County Treasurer, is the
third man in the fight. The Phillips
people did not frown on his entrance,
as it was calculated that he would
draw votes from Gibson and this
makes certain Phillips nomination.
All three of the candidates in this
fight, now growing warm, were on
hand at the Fair to greet Mr.. Nice
and Mr.. Armstrong, and the three
posed for a group picture with the
head of the ticket.
The candidates shook hands with
several hundred at the Fair and re-
peated the performance at the An
drews reception last night. On the
way from Claiborne by automobile

stopped at Easton and were met
there by number of the leading

Eastern Shore Republicans of all
factions, from Cecil down to Worces-
ter, gathered here in an old fashion
ed political lovefeast last night, at
the big reception which Congressman
William n. Andrews gave to States

Gubernatorial candidate, and Alexan

mate, aspirant for the attorney gen.
eralShip.
From all of them, no matter what
their factional affiliations. whether
the closest friends of the Weller
Jackson organization or workers in
the old Goldsborough and organiza
ton crowd over here on the Shore,
came ardent promises of the warm
est sort of support for the heads of
the ticket. There were more than
500 leaders present at the reception,
and on the surface at least they were
in absolute harmony on the State
ticket, no matter what their feeling
about the many fights for local offices
which are rife in the G. o. P. all oV-
er the Shore this fall.
Down from Kent came friends Of
John D. Uric and friends of A. Parks
Raisin, the two Republicans who are
in bitter struggle for control of the
regular party organization in the
county. Neither Uric nor Raisin was
present but sent regrets, and each
sent a number of friends. Col. Joe
Vannort, who was Republican candi-
date for Governor against Frank
Brown, was among those who came
to Cambridge from the upper shore.
After a luncheon, which was served
on the wide lawn in front of theOak-
ley Beach Hotel. Mr.. Nice delivered
brief address 10 the crowd of lead
ers.
In this address he did not touch on
the keynote which he sounded dur
ing the recent tour of Western Mary
Iand-that of the necessity of heal
ing the old breach between the city
and counties. Instead, he confined
his talk to pledges of economy in the
administration of State affairs
There is, 1 am convinced" he said,
"a general awakening to the neces-
sity of a change in the administra-
ton of the States affairs. There is
growing sentiment that too much
purely partisan considerations have
entered into, if not controlled, the
decision of many questions. There
is a belief that political expediency
has been substituted for actual needs
in many instan. .es.
This has resulted in a rapidly in
creased tax rate, and the purchasing
power of the State dollar has declin-
ed in even greater proportion than
the purchasing power of the indiVid-
ual dollar, which is now in value not
more than SO cents. The people are
rightfully demanding that this situa-
ton be changed. The same economy
must be used in the public enterprise
