ton Of activity in the trrn and steel
business. While orders. during the
month OF May and June wcr" not up to

most gratifying increase over the rec

Under present conditions II IS imposSibl>
to predict with any accuracy what flu

will amount TO, Tho best that can be
said Is that the activity is from day to
day, fo- materials which are badly need

could not be postponed.
Railroad orders are still conspicuously
absent and these, under normal condi-
lions, constitute about thirty-fve per

WHY WE ENTERED THE WAR

President Wilson has very untor-
tuna.e habit OF forgetting his own state
uents, or rather Of accentuating new
view Of a public question to the extent
OF subordinatlng another view. which ne
has previously presented with much
force. In his address 10 the Senate
Thursday. the president said;
The United states. entered the war
upon a different ,NotrnS from ever!
other nation except our association on
this side Of the 500. We entered u not
because our Material interests wcr" al
rectly threatened or because any special
treaty obligations 10 which we were
partics had been violated but only De-
cause Ec saw tho supremacy anu eH'H
the validity OF right everywhere PUT IN
Jeopardy and free government h"eiE 70
he syerywhcrc impcrlllcd by the intoler-
oh,c Aggression or n power which re-
spccted neither right nor 0ohGation ana
,vhoSe very system of government Hout-
Cd the rights Of the citizen as against
the autocratic authority OF his COVER
norS.
Undoubtedly. tho thought which the
president expresses was felt IN a dim
way by great many peopl" in America
Our sense Of right had been outraged
nv the invasions ot Belgium. and by The
manifold brutaliti"s committed by Ger
man .rmies. Dimly We had begun 10
realize that the triumph OF Germany
meant danger TO ourselves. Yet, after
all we did not enter the war because or
any OF these things. We entered IT,
frankly, because our commerce was in
xaded. our ships had been sunk and our
ritizAns murdered A long series OF
su,rages had been committed against
American citizens. Germany had re-
neatedly pledged herself to observe our
rights and then had dehantly and flag
rantly broken her promises. The PESO
tuition Of the declaration Of war adopted
nv the Congress OF the United States
says:
"1ybereas. The imperial German gov
arnroent has committed repeated acts or

committee, was In telephone conversa-
tion Wednesday morning with Gov

food and feed crops. Reports will also
be made as to what progress has al
ready been made, II Is expected to be
a most important meeting and prepara-
tions are being made for several hun
dred delegates.

sidered very effective in helping out
plans, for marketing Of the unsold por-
tion of the old crop is proceeding slowly,

exert important influence on planting
