The Week in Review

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 A return to unrestrained productive effort. so much needed to remedy the prevailing shortages of goods and to halt the rising tendencies of prices, has been further delayed by continuance of the bituminous coal mining contro- yersy and by other disputes that still impede the free processes of output and distribution of commodities. Some basis, however, apparently exists for the belief that at least a lull in the country's labor troubles may before long be witnessed, and the psychologi- cal effect of the approach of winter when voluntary cessation of work is less apt to occur than in other seasons is tobe considered in this connection.
 Given more stable industrial condi- tions, business progress would be measurably stimulated, and even now without the obstacles that are being encountered, there is conspicuous ac- tivity in many directions. Not only has holiday shopping commenced at ar earlier date than usual in most sec tions, but the domestic buying power is remarkably well sustained, despite factors that might illogically be ex- pected to curb it, and latest returns oi export trade have again demonstrated that various American products are urgently acquired abroar, and that the difficulty of financing does not pre- vent their purchase.

GLENDALE CITIZENS REPLY ID STATEMENT OF SUPERVISOR BOWEN

GLENDALE, Ariz.. Nov. 2S.--Glen- dale district residents disapprove a letter appearing in the press today un- der the signature of Supervisor w. K. Bowen and k. F. Lusk of Mesa, at ulbuting certain statements to the Glendale district commercial club.
 Secretary Dyas of the local organi. Eation, in replying to the statement In question said:
 The statement, in the main, is in error. In the first place. the Glendale district commercial club has never sent letter to the Gazette and The Repub- lican. The letter in question was from W. J. Galbraith and Raymond Dyas, : chairman and secretary. respectively, Of the conference of good roads advo- cates of the county, held with the county highway commission Novem- Der 20.
 "The records of this conference, of which l was elected secretary, show that Supervisor Bowen and MT. Lusk, together with all the other delegates, voiced no dissenting vote against ask Ing the highway commission to rec ommend as federal aid projects the Phoenix Marinette, Phoenix to and be- yond Buckeye and Mesa to Eastern
 
 put to the conference.
 The whole question is whether the $40O,000 federal aid money shall De expended upon the main through highway between Phoenix and Glen dale, leading to the northern counties and beyond Buckeye on the road to the coast, or whether it shall be turned over to the highway commission to be spent in little dabs on side roads where and how they see fit. This is the issue and any statement Supervisor Bowen may make will not alter it.
 Concerning the action of the Mesa chamber of commerce, if Mr. Boweu's D published statement was in reality the action of that body. that is their owr affair. but the statement that the Glendale district commercial club was attempting to mislead the people is tmwarranted.

FIRST SNOW SINCE
 1897 IN GLENDALE:
 MUCH WATER THERE

GLENDALE. Nov. 2S-GlendaIe ex- perienced it's first snow storm in years this afternoon, tiny, damp flakes fall ing for period of nearly 90 minutes. A light white blanket covered the streets of the city for a few minutes, but quickly disappeared when the snow turned to rain.
 It was the first snow in Glendale since 1897, according to John Mccoy, an old time resident of this commun- ity. The previous fall, he stated was much heavier than that experienced yesterday, lasting nearly "A hours and covering old mother earth with solid blanket that held firm against Old Sol for an entire day.
 A drizzle followed the snow fall Although Glendale has so far escaped the flood water, big stretch between laterals IA and Is, east of Glendale, was submerged today, while Alhambra was reported as swimming in a pool var iously estimated at from six inches to two feet, according to the locality.
 Many Glendale basements were flooded, owing to the drain from the surrounding territory Construction work on the numerous buildings and homes was halted as a result of the storm.
 Misses Her Mother
 Glendale today realized, for the first time, what isolation from Phoenix meant.
 Because automobile traffic between the two cities was severed, local resi- dents today went without some of the things which are ordinarily theirs. Fresh fruits and vegetables, for instance, which are shipped into Glendale from Phoenix via automobile trucks, were not to be found on the local market today. Train service between the two points and points north also was de- layed as a result of the storm
 Patience Required
 Special effort is being made by the Glendale branch of The Republican to serve all its customers in this com munity, especially during the storm period when the community is more or less marooned from the rest of the world.
 Although deliveries will be a few minutes late, owing to road conditions, every effort will be made to serve every one. Notwithstanding the trying con- ditions today, every subscriber re- ceived his or her paper sometime dur ing the day, although in some in- stances, delivery was not effected until Rfter mid day

FINANCE AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The stock markets adverse conditions again was strikingly demonstrated in the course of today's active dealings, speculative issues of various descriptions record ing extreme declines Of to almost 25 points.
 Developments over the holiday, es- pecially the deadlock in the coal strike situation and the tense Mexican situa- tion. encouraged an already large short interest to extend it's operations of the previous session.
 Cables from London and Paris were in keeping with recent discouraging advices from those centers and con- tributed, at least senrfmentally, to an- other moderate reaction in sterling and francs, with sympathetic reactions in rates to several of the leading north ern European countries.
 The money market was essentially a superficial affair u,itil the last half hour, when the opening arte of per cent was advanced to 8 and then 10 per cent, per cent prevailing at the close. Time funds were ostensibly un- altered, but very little money was available at less than 7h per cent.
 Pressure again centered in the high  priced industrials and specialties General Motors making a gross re- versal of A points. Pierce Arrow, au- tomobile subsidiaries, leading oils Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and active shippings, tobaccos and leather registered extreme losses of to 15 points.
 United States Steel at 1o1Z duplicat. ed it's minimum price of the recent up heaval and railroad shares of high an6 low degree were under persistent pressure, falling back ? to nearly points and displaying little recupera' tive powers. Sales amounted to 400 900 shares.
 Bonds as whole were heavy, Lib erty and Victory issues again featur I ing the movement at several low rec ords for the year. Sales, par value aggregated $25,S50,000. Old Unite, States bonds were unchanged on call

PAY 4 MILLIONS ON COTTON
(London Tirnes.)

One of the heaviest of the war losses which have fallen on marine under- writers during the past five years isss now being settled in the London mar-,s ket. The settlement is in respect of the cotton sunk when the United States steamer West Arvada was mined near Terschelling, on the Netherlands coast, on September 16, last. Insurances are known to have been placed on the cotton in the Lon don market to the extent of at least ~ four million dollars.
 Although the loss is certainly one of the largest, the premium was one of the smallest which have been accepted for war risks. The cotton was in-1s sured for the voyage from Galveston0 to Hamburg at the premium of 62 g. cents per $500, and, as the vessel was5' mined, the loss falls on the under-sA, writers who wrote the war risks. Any salvage of the cotton which may now be made will go to relieve the under writing loss. -ss

AID
FOR ORPHANS
Armenia and Syrian Committees Are
Establishing orphanages and
Getting Them
Filled.

When General Allenby captured
Jerusalem, he found one empty or
phanage. It had been established by
the Turks to care for the boys who had
lost their fathers or whose fathers
were in the army. The Turks carried
away the most of the boys and the
rest scattered through the city.
1t was hard to find any one who
could be spared from the army who
knew how to care for the children. At
last Mr. Trowbridge, an American
who had been minister in Brooklyn
and had also served as missionary,
was put in charge. Soon the children
began to come in. Ragged, dirty, hun
cry. Only one piece Of soap could be
found, but with water and hair clip
pers and food and kindness. the little
fellows were doctored up. The one
orphanage grew to five and the first
rs children to 600 and the work was
only begun.
There are 100000 children In the
near east, without father mother,
home, decent clothes, or food. The
American committee OF Armenian and
Syrian relief is building orphanages
as rapidly as possible and gathering
these homeless lads and lassies into
them. They estimate that seventeen
cents (17c) day will feed, clothe.
shelter and teach child. This is not
a large sum as compared with a
chocolate sundae with the war tax.
1t is seven cents more than was asked
for the French orphans, but the desti-
tuition is greater. 1t Is so near to the
desert and so far from Europe and
America.
Rev. I. T. Hawk, chaplain OF Fort
Madison penitentiary, has been APP
pointed by the state committee to re-
ceive contributions from Lee county
for the purpose of caring for these
homeless waits. Checks may be made
payable to him or to DR.. ]. E. Kirbye

SON OF FIFTH
u. S. PRESIDENT
Major James Monroe Is Living al
the Age Of 104 and Helped
Uncle Sam in Three
Wars.

OF all the men and women In our
country who have gone beyond the
three score and ten years OF the
accepted allotted span of life, none
is more interesting than Major James
Monroe, Of Jacksonville, Fla, son OF
James Monroe, fifth president of the
United States.
That a son OF the fifth president
of the United States should be living
is proof that ours is still very
Young republic. This remarkable
man will be 104 years old on the
fourth day of next July, remarked an
exchange recently.
He was born in Richmond, Va, In
the year 1916, and he does not ap-
pear to be any older than some men
quarter Of century younger than
he. He had a sister who lived to be
los years old.
He is a veteran of the Mexican and
civil wars and had enthusiasm
enough to offer his services to the
government in the war with Ger
many. His work in the shipyards is.
in a way, service for his country, as
he took the place OF a younger man
released for service when he entered
upon it.
He was but 12 years old when his
father died. Worry does not enter
into Major Monroe's philosophy OF
life. He is of the opinion that 1t is
inimical to longevity, and he knows
that it lessons the JOY Of life. That
other enemy of old age. high living
has never had a chance to shorten
1 his years.
