ORIGIN OF WATEREDsSTOCK

From the New York Evening Sun. I7Gd HERE are more ways of profi-
 teering than raising the rent.
 One of the most alluring forms of "gouging' has just been exposed in the seizure of 50,000 live hens whose crops were full of s15 900 worth of sand and gravel, which increases the weight of each hen one pound.
 In it's final analysis profiteering is said to be nothing more than dealing in watered stock, or, as the economists would say. the artificial imitation of values, and recalls the episode from which originated the term "watered stock" a phrase coined in Wall street nearly two generations ago and since circulated throughout the world where barter is carried on in accordance with trade usage and custom.
 "the street. say that the phrase "wa- tered stock" Is due to an inspiration of Daniel Drew. although some credit it to James Fisk, who with the late Jay Gould taught Wall street few quips and quirks in finance that it has never known before. Fisk, it is said, never could get away from the idea that the cheapest manipulators in the financial district were, after all, as bucolic in their methods as the veriest Ahayseed"

PRESIDENT IS TO BLAME

From the New York World.
 I1C1IE always esteemed Tribune assures
 Us that the responsibility for the
 failure to ratify the treaty of peace 'does not belong to Senator Lodge and his associates but rests with the White House., To be sure it does. just as the responsibility for the invasion of Belgium rested with the Belgians and the respon- sibility for the sinking of the Lusitania rested with the Eon-combatant victims.
 Whiie the Paris conference was en- gagged in framing a treaty of peace and a covenant of the League Fof Nations, Woodrow Wilson signed a round robin declaring that the covenant must be amended, but refusing to specify the na- ture CT scope Of the amendments When the treaty was finally framed he packed the Senate committee on foreign relations and insisted that the treaty must be sent back to the conference. Having adopted 50 amendments and half dozen reserva- tions. the President reluctantly reported the treaty out, with the warning that the allied and associated powers must take

PROTEST SOLDIERS SLANG
