The Archbishop here turned to Rus
sia for an illustration Of his point

exclaimed, "and the manner in which
they have been robbed Of their indi-

Jewish and the Christian law of pater-

of the present ferment? ?"
who can say" was the reply. "The
programme Of social reconstruction to
which | have referred covers all those
points. | may say, however, that any
economic changes which are proposed
deserve consideration and study, and
the plans ought to be entertained if
they are feasible and adaptable and
are not in violation OF any Of the laws

do you think revolutionary move
ments are likely to make any Roadway
in the United States"
Il feel that any revO lutions which
may be brought about in our country
will be orderly, whether social, eco
nomic or political. | believe there is
enough, and more than enough, left of
the old-tlme American spirit, which
made this nation what it is-cleared
the forests, built the cities and start
ed the wheels of industry revolving
to make any revolution, social, eco
nomic or political, of the European
brand impossible here.
1--WE are passing through a period
Of transition. 1t is a difficult time
fraught with pitfalls and vexations
But | feel that the period of readjust-
ment will be short. Peace is the great
necessity. Once the thinking American
people know the terms of peace and
see the way clear to absorb the re-
turning soldiers back into civil life,
our capital will again utilize it's Won
derful resources and it's genius and
talents as it has done in the past. That
will result in the employment Of the
hands and minds of labor again, and
with industry humming we shall soon
see an end Of our troubles"
He uttered the sentiment with deep
conviction, seeming to visualize the re-
stored conditions Of prosperity which
he predicted. Then an expression Of
concern crossed his face.
There is one final thought" he said
ut is about the welfare of our soldiers.

can soldier left the other side for homo

Rip Van Winkle,' as Opera, Soon to
 be Produced

Chicago, Dec. 25.-"Rip Van Wrinkle" one of the few American legends which has achieved a place in literature, will make it's bow to Chicago and the world in grand opera Friday night, Dec. 26.
 The opera, the joint production of Percy Mackaye and Reginald de Koven, is truly and distinctively an all-American grand opera. It is a fanciful, poetic and picturesque story, with children and fairies phantom Dutch sailors and sugges- tions of the supernatural. Based on Washington Irving's master piece and Dion Bouicault's play the opera has received a different treat ment from MT. Mackaye who has added something of his own to the legend.
 Rip Van Wrinkle" could be call Ied the de Koven-Mackaye opera as lit is the outcome of the co-opera- tion of the two master craftsmen, de Koken, composer of Robin Hood" and forty other American operas, and Percy Mackaye the au- thor of pageants like "Caliban" and the "St. Louis" masque wit messed by 15O,o0O persons.
 One of the revivals of the sixth week of the Chicago opera season Lis "Don Pasquale" presented Tues day night with Mime. Calli- -Curci as the leading singer.

Bitter Fight on
 for Trade in Fur

Prince Albert, Sask., Dec. 25.- The bitterest' competition for fur trade in the history of the Cana dian northwest is raging this winter. Unprecedented prices for furs is said to have brought 10000 buyers to the western pro- vinces and it is believed that hun. dreds cf fur agents have riskeG their lives to work their way in to wild northern regions where competition is not so keen ano where the trappers' prices are not 50 high.
 Trappers are reaping the gold en harvest this year, it is claimed Last year, according to some ful men. the trappers received only small advances in prices for pelts whereas the fur dealers made tre, mendous profits. This year, it is said, conditions are reversed Trappers are demanding from 200 to 300 per cent more from their furs than they did a year ago.
 Farmers in this region have been making considerable money hunting wolves. They have taught their dogs to ride in wag- oIs or automobiles until wolves are sighted. The fresh dogs then invariably corner the wolves

exchange to the goods to get into foreign markets. Premier Lloye George recently declared, wher sterling was selling at a discount of 15 per cent, that the discount really represented protective tariff of 15 per cent on goods manufactured in England. Ger. tainly it Is helping to keep Ameri. can goods out of that country.
 "The only remedy for this con- dition is for the United States tt buy foreign securities and extenc long time credit for merchandise We are in a strong economic DO sition. The nations of Europe must have our cotton and wheat and, since they are so heavily in- debted to us and we must extenc them many more millions to put them on their feet, what is the diff ference whether we buy thei1 bonds or send them our merchan. disc.
 "Everyone in Wall street knows that if the peace treaty had beer signed in Washington an interna- tional exchange committee would have been organized long before now to stabilize exchange anc bring about other necessary read justments, Never during the darkest days of the war, when ths Germans. were almost at Paris did British and French exchange go to where it is now. The Brit ish, during the war, by system of credits with the United States had sterling 'pegged' to $4.52.
 "The tension over and gold ex- ports curtailed there was nothing to keep it that close to parity Indeed, unless the United States loosens it's purse strings there arc London financial experts who say the pound sterling will drop as low as $2.50. That would be a calami. ty. It would be a two-edged sworc injuring both England and the United States.
 Europe is like a man on ths verge of death due to starvation When you find such an unfortun ate you feed him gradually unti the stomach becomes accustomed to digesting food. Now our ain has been all along to stuff Europe with all kinds of American prod ucts. We have piled up trade balance, according to Former Sec retary of Commerce Redfield, az eregating $4,000,OO0,OOO year Europe's financial system, likt the starved human stomach, has been unable to assimilate it. Con sequently, We thus contribute tt the demoralization of foreign eX change and, incidentally, by in flation help to lowed the purchas ing power of our own dollar.
 "When you consider, as Mir. Red field points out, that $4,000,000,00l represents American dollars a par and must be paid by those wh' owe it in depreciated currencies making it the equivalent of $5, 900 000,000. the result cannot b' healthful to future American trad and commerce. Foreign buyer are going into more favorable markets"

THREE REASONS FOR EXCHANGE DECLINE
 ARE PREPAYMENT I
Heavy Debts, Factories Hes itancy, England's Gold
 Policy Blamed

New York, Dec. 25.-Three fac tors in the demoralization of for eign exchange, intelligible to the average man, rise above the com plexities of the present situation, according to old-timers in Wall street.
 These are:
 Allied and other nations of the world owe the United States approximately $15,000,O00,000.
 2-American manufacturers hesi- tate, owing to peace treaty uncer- tainty, to accept big advance for eign orders.
 N3-England's virtual suspension of gold exports outside the Brit ish colonies is repulsing American trade.
 "Just why the British pounc sterling, normally worth $4.S665 in American gold, should have de. clined so much since the war end. ed, and what it all means is ar obscure question: said a New ! orll financial expert. "The pres. ent situation, Sir George Parish's apprehensions notwithstanding, is by no means hopeless. Prophe. cies of a breakdown of credit are not we'll founded.
 America, the storehouse of ths world and now the worlds bank CT, is in the same position Eng. land was in after the Napoleon. ic and American civil wars. She bought the cheap securities o1 impoverished nations in most prodigious manner and thereby laid the foundation for her future wealth. We must do likewise ane do it within the next two or three years by which time these ab. normal conditions will have pass ed.
 "With pound sterling 25 pei cent or more below par Englant can sell to the United States at { great advantage. We can sel American goods abroad only at { great disadvantage because we must add the abnormal rate O.

ElkS' Minstrels
 are to be Given
 on Two Evenings

Now that Christmas is over the principal topic of interest to the people of Pine Bluff is the Elks' big show which is but a few days away. Monday and Tuesday are the big days, and they certainly will be big in the history of the To- cal lodge.
 At 9 o'clock this morning the sale of reserved seats will open at Berbig's drug store and from ali reports, it is evident the two nights will be sold out in record time. Pine Bluff Elks have gone the linn it in providing something novel along ministred lines and have ar ranged with New York firm to stage and direct the show.
 Special scenery and costumes have been arranged for, the best talent in the city has been secured to assist in the performances and it goes without saying that this will be the big entertainment event of the season. The performance is offered for benefit fund to be directed as foundation for the new club house to be the home of the Pine Bluff lodge of Elks. Every one of the members is heart and soul in the affair; that is apparent from the interest being taken by the members of the lodge as well as by those taking part in the show.
 Careful attention to every little detail will be observed by the per- formers, every one of whom Is in- terested in making this the best show of the local talent nature ever seen in this part of the coun- try. With some of the most prom inent business and professional men in the city as participants, the people of Pine Bluff are going to turn out en masse to see and enjoy the mirth and music of the occasion. Tonight full rehearsal will be held at the club rooms with the orchestra on hand.
 With the performers having q two nights rest from rehearsals they should put world of snap and ginger into their work and everything go along like a profes- sional performance. That this event is of more than ordinary in- terest is evident by the fact that quite number of Little Rock Elks and ladies will be down to attend the show. From other towns too, have come requests for tickets, and arrangements will be made to entertain the visitors after the show in way that will make their visit one long to be remembered.

Big Business. in Booze Continues
 in Michigan

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 25.-While Michigan is "dry" by constitution al amendment, the recent decision of the United States supreme court upholding the wartime pro- hibition act brought gloom to many who have been obtaining the forbidden fluid in various sur reptitious ways.
 For more than year after Michigan joined the prohibition states it had been possible to se- cure bonded whiskey at $6 and sS a quart. Hundreds of thou sands of gallons of liquor have been smuggled into the state over the Ohio Michigan line, and an en- ormous quantity was brought in openly during one week when the search and seizure section of the Michigan prohibition law was rendered temporarily impotent by the state supreme court.
 State and federal authorities however, checked the deluge by court action and the unofficial market which had shown signs c1 demoralization quickly stabilized itself and prices went up a dollar or two a quart. Then Ohio voted itself dry and whiskey alleg. ed to be of the "bonded' variety brought around $14 quart. Witt the decision of the United State; supreme court came another boost and alcoholic cheer went to $1S and $20 a quart.
 Despite famine prices, an i'm mense business is still being done in ccntraband liquor in Detroit according to police records. | is estimated between 2,000 and 9, 900 quarts of so-called bonded whiskey is daily sold here alone
