 There are indications that the rAa- road problem Is approaching solu- ton.

 WEEKLY LETTER

Readjustment of the industry and the share market has been continuing in the metal lines, especially coppers. and until a stable basis shall have been reached cross-currents in price movements are to be expected. The general settling down in commodities and the stock market has been strictly in accord with the necessity of chang ing rom war to a peace basis. La Dor Is being Hquidated on a more ex- tenstYe scale than for sometime past The Secretary of the American Fed eration of Labor now estimates that 5o0r000 men are without work in the United States. This Is increasing the efficiency of those with jobs, and is enabling corporations to return to 6 normal operating basis. While strikes are to be anticipated, 1t Is likely that they will not grow larger in the or derly and natural course of read just nent, especially in view of the fact that the cost of living is also deotn- ing. These features make for a trad Ing market, with advances restricted chiefly to specialties.
 1 The main thing to guard against in
 the period of slackening business is the Bolshevist1c propaganda which has
 been active In other countries and has
 been brought to the United States
 probably by emlssaTies of the Russian
 Bolsheviks, who are reported by some
 authorities to be backed by German
 influences. The United States Senate
 Is taking active measures to investi-
 gate Bolshevism in our country, and
 we should all contribute our influence,
 however small 1t may be, to combat
 this destructive agency. The proposed 1 conference between the Allied na-
 lions and representatives of the Rus-
 sian soV1ets may bring desirable re-
 suits, but the situation is g. delicate lone, and should be approached with
 great caution. England has beer fighting Bolshevism more than lead. CTS of union labor, according to infor.

ISSUE NEW STAMPS

Post office officials at Washington announce the immediate issue of a new 13 cent stamp for special delivery and registered mail. The stamp, which will be of yellow-green, and bear the head of Franklin in profile, will also be accepted as postage for other pur- poses for which postage stamps are used.
 The new stamp will probably be more welcomed by large business con- cerns or at places where large amounts of registered mail are sent out each day, as 1t will eliminate the handling of two stamps, the ten cent one and the three cent one, and so save use less labor.

The David W. Griffith productions
with Lillian Glsh and Robert Harron
in The Greatest Thing in Life" is at
the strand. These two popular screen
stars have a good supporting cast, and
the film shows two battle scenes on
the western front. and an appealing
love story. II would not be fair to
say this latest Griffith film is the best
one yet produced by him, but The
Greatest Thing in Life" is a delightful
picture Of love and war while the sit
Uations are dramatic and thrilling.
The picture contains some OF the best
Photographic scenes ever presented
by Mr.. Griffith. several OF them be-
ing secured while he was in France.
The story centers about jeanette
Peret. a beautiful but humble girl who
has high ideals OF love, and Edward
Livingston wealthy but selfish
bachelor who is much In love with
Jeanette The main action of the pic
ture takes place in village near
Chateau Thierry. Edward has fol-
lowed jeanette to France but returns

jeanette does not love him. The lit
tie French village is captured by the
Huns but the Americans recapture H.
