THE GROWTH OF LIFE.

Live things grow; dead things
do not. a stone remains ever the
same. but plant constantly
changes and develops. And the
man who makes boast Of the fac;
that his religious conception has
not undergone any change or de-
vcloDmcnt is in reality making
confession Of its lack Of the force
Of life. Where religion is some
thing living, vital. real, here
must necessarily be change OF
view from time to time. The
man who camps out In the valley
sees ever the same scene, but the
one who moves ever on and up
consronts new scenes with each
new day of progress There il
no gain where there Is no
growth; there Is no profit where
there is no progress.

sell other world markets. But that this absorption of the cheaper grades can be accepted as fareeasting any real let-up in the public demand for fine fabrics Is doubtful, welcome as such a symptom of returning consefvatisn on
 the part of the ultimate consumer would be; indeed, the prevailing prices for line fleeces ruled so high at the
 auctions and continue to be reflected
 in the regular trade to such an extent
 that it is apparent that buyers have no
 fear of their, ability to dispose of their
 purchases People have become so ac-
 customed to wearing good clothes that so long as they have the wages with
 which to buy them they show no dis
 position to be satisfied with the coarser suitings which they, formerly accepted
 as a matter of course. Nevertheless. some dealers feel strongly that we have reached the top on fine wools, and that medium wooIs will come into more l favor and sooner or later bring better prices. The reaction on the mills of the current situation has been from their standpoint most satisfactory, for never has more machinery been in operation at this time of the year.

 The scarcity of the finer qualities of white cotton, so acute as to make it impossible to obtain these goods ex- | lcept at exorbitant prices-eotton which sold in, 1918 at 20 cents bringing now | 30 cents or more-is the dominant feature in this industry, New England mills ordinarily dependent upon these grades are beginning to sl1e cautious iii making purchases of raw material al figures which they feel might make

 creasing business over last year not.
 only in amount. as measured in terms of money receipts, but in volume. is
 the common report. In other words
 the people are not only buying at the
 prevailing high prices, but they are
 buying more goods than ever. One of
 the largest New England shoe, manu-
 featuring concerns, having a chain of
 retail stores all over the country,
 states that these stores. individually
 and collectively are. showing practi-
 cally the same percentage of increase
 during this month as in the previous
 months of this year, and that trayeling salesmen. who are. now on their fall trips with spring 1920 samples, have written the largest volume of orders in
 the history of this business, dealers being in actual need of merchandise, and not buying in abnormal amounts
 merely in antfcipationg of unusual. further increase in the prices. The large jobbing houses with connections all through New England are in receipt of orders which. are placed unhesi- tatingly for spring delivery at prices which betoken complete confidence in the continued purcha sing power of the ipublic. Luxury buying continues ap- parently unabated and reports from | jewelry and silverware manufacturing centers are to the effect that they are having a record making business
 Wool and Woeien Goods.
 The wool market has been rather more active than month ago, more especially for fine wools, on account of scarcity and demand. with the result that prices are fully 5 per cent. higher Medium yools, on the other hand. due to lack of demand, are somewhat lower, but there is a growing feeling that manufacturers will attempt to make their new heavyweight goods out of ! medium wools and this will give bet ter market for this class of stock; 1 coarse wools are nearly 50 per cent lower than the maximum prices which obtained during the war. The govern ment resumed it's auction sales in Bos- ton, November 16-14. their outstand. l ing feature being much freer move ment than had been generally antici- pated. On the fine end the natural de mand from the trade was very keer i and these wools showed an advance o | strong 10 per cent. over the preceding sales. Some disappointment has beer manifested that larger amount of fnt wool should not have appeared in tn l government stock, and while the de mand was not acute for the coarse l grades, sales were facilitated by tn

The coarser grades of hides which show signs of accommodating under these conditions do not, however, warrant hope for low prices, and the Recessiofis of considera- ble qahtitfes from South America, if not required for sole leather purposes. will, 1t is anticipated, probably find their way into mechanical industries where the demand is as insistent as it is for the manufacture of heavy shoes.

PEACE TREATY HANDED GERMANS AT VERSAILLES TODAY
Daily Summary
of Peace News
My thc Associated Pressl

Germany will receive today the
terms of peace from the nations
arrayed against her in the worlds
greatest war. This event which
falls on the fourth anniversary of
the sinking OF the Lusitania, marks
one of the historic dates in the
giant conflict. 1t comes II days
after the last shot OF the war
was fired on Nov. II, 1918.
The German delegates, when they
enter the dining.rOom OF the Hotel
Triaonon at Versailles ut about
o'clock this afternoon, will find
present the representatives of -
nations. When plans for the pre-
sentation of the treaty We're de-
cided upon some time ago. it was
determined that only IS nations
would haNie delegates present 1t
being held that only those which
had taken an efficient part in the
fighting should witness the cere-
mony. 1t was decided yesterday.
Siam, Cuba, Guatemala. Nicaragua.
Haiti, Panama. Liberia and Hon.
duras also should be admitted.
Tho complete representation of
the allied powers was assured this
morning by the arrival in Paris
from Rome of Premier Orlando ana
Foreign Minister Sonnino of Italy.
At a secret plenary session held
at the French foreign office yes
tcrday afternoon summary OF the
treaty was read. There We're Il
few objections. Portugal taking
executions to some features OF the
treaty and China, Italy and France
making reservations when the read
ing of the summary had been com
pleted 1t is not believed, however,
that tho objections to certain
phases of the treaty will result in
the IsfuIll of these nations to
sign the document, nor will their
reservations affect the procedure
decided upon in laying the treaty
before the German plenipotentiar
les.
one of the most interesting feat
ures Of the convention was added to
it yesterday when clause arraign-
ing former Emperor William for
Il supreme offense against interna-
tiunal morality and the sanctity
of tre0ties" was attached to the
treaty together with "a provision
for his trial by a tribunal com
posed of representatives. of the
France, Italy and Japan.
Steps have been taken to meet
any refusal ON the part OF Ger
many to sign the treaty. Complete
economic isolation is one of the
principal weapons to be used by the
allied and associated governments.
