The Worlds Power to Absorb Gold.

That there will never be Limit to the
worlds power to absorb gold, is quite evident
from the unceasing flow of the stream without
any back-how, regardless of its ups and downs.
According to a recent statement coming from
British source, the total annual increase of the
worlds supply of gold is in round figures
$450000,0O0, of which $3O000O,OOO or two-thirds
of it, is produced within the British empire. 1t
must be remembered however, that the British
empire is collection of widely scattered ter
ritories in all parts of the globe, and despite its
control of production, Britain can have no
monopoly of the gold supply, for the greatest
accumulation of gold in any country is in
the United States.
What the has done is to bring about
very noticeable redistribution of the gold hold
ings of the world, which the peace treaty,
through its financial arrangements, will tend
to confirm. The countries left poor by the war
will require long time to acquire anything like
their former proportion of the gold used in
commerce and for the arts, and the danger is
not that there may be no call for gold but that
the high cost of mining as against the de-
preciated value of money may check the vol
ume of the output. This is one place where
the operation of the law of supply and demand
is bound to be effective, slow though it may be

The Army as a School.

As was naturally to have been expected, the
drive to recruit an overseas peace army of
$4,000 volunteers for postwar duty, is not going
as fast as it would have gone under the stimu-
lus of prospect of actual fighting, but good
progress is being made and there is no reason
why the object should not be attained within
the two weeks set as the time limit
While war experience may not have
popularized military service as permanent oc-
cupation, it has demonstrated the benefits of
two or three years in the army for physical
development, salutary discipline, broadening eff
fects of travel and opportunity for valuable
training along special lines. The new military
service is a short college course in practical
work at the expense of Uncle Sam, which would
otherwise be secured only at considerable cost
in time and money. The army is no longer

know where else to turn but is to be school

equations.
If these facts can be brought home to the
people, there should be no serious difficulty
in overlapping the mark of $4,000 volunteer re-
cruits.

FALSE BASIS OF SYMPATHY STRIKE

In refusing to aid or countenance the pro-
posed one-day general strike, planned as a
labor demonstration in behalf OF Mooney, con-
victed of completely in San Francisco bomb
throwing plot, the American Federation Of
Labor has taken a stand which will commend
it to all sober-minded people. This action
shows that conservative labor leaders under
stand the false basis, or rather lack of basis, of
the socalled sympathy strike.
If there is justification at any time for a
strike it is when it is undertaken to redress the
particular grievances or enforce the special de-
mands of the workers who resort to this
method of "persuading' their employers. But
for men to quit their tasks and go on a strike
to emphasize their opinion that twice Con-
victed prisoner has not had fair trial, is far
fetched proposition. In principle, however, the
sympathy strike is the same when workmen
pay become voluntary iders in the thought that
they are helping out other workers who
have gone on a strike to bring their employers
to time. All strikes are costly to all con-
cerned, but the sympathy strike inhicts its
damage upon those who are not at fault, upon
the employer who treats his workrnen right as
we'll as upon the employer who abuses his po-
sition, and also upon the workmen and their
families, who have complaint of their own.
Every wage controversy or labor trouble
should stand or fall on its own merits. To
be sure, there ought to be better way to ad-
just such disputes than by stopping the wheels
Of industry while the workers go on strike, but
multiplying strikes as sign of sympathy is
not apt to be helpful to- 1abors cause and the

Muk1nQ Friends

We like people instinctively, rather than by
deliberate choice, and we like them because they
help fill out our own natures. Sometimes we
look over our list of friends and wonder why
there is such diversity among the members. 1t
is because we are many sided ourselves, and
two persons who fit we'll into our own lives
may not have any points of contact with each
other.
If we give thought to our friends, one by
one, we can often discover why we like them
we can isolate the quality that attracts US to
them When we have found that will also
find our friend has this quality without being so
aware of it that he makes boast OF it: When
our friends begin to take the attitude that they
have some quality we need we drop them.
While they are unspoiled in those bits of char
acter that help ours we like them. When they
become self-praising in those elements they lose
their attraction. The people who are friends to
so many others are those who can't account for
it-they are unspoiled in their possession OF
good qualities; and they are fortunate, indeed,
if they continue to be natural.
We like people can trust we make friends
with those who fill out our own characters and
we trust those who are natural. If you find that
you are losing your friends look into your own
mind and see if you are not losing some OF the
naturalness that brought those friends to you.-

The Mistake of lie Cateau.

Lord French avoids any detailed description
of battles, and the chief interest of his chapters
on the retreat from Mons is his severe criticism
OF General Smith-Dorrien for fighting the bat
tie of lie Cateau against his instructions, which
were to retreat. These, instructions were car
ried out by Halg whose conduct of the retreat
was masterly and Smith Dorrien was not in any
appreciably worse position, indeed, had greater
inducement to avoid delay because he was on
the exposed left flank.
Colonel Ansell, commanding the Fifth
Dragon Guards, one of the finest cavalry lead
ers in the army, who fell at the head of his regi-
ment few days later, gave information to Cen
eral Allenby at about a. m regarding the ma
ture of the German advance. This seemed of
such great importance that the latter at once
warned him that, unless he was prepared to con-
tinue his march at daybreak, he would most
probably be pinaed down to his position, and
would be unable to get away.
"Sir Horace asked General Al1enby what,
in his opinion, were the chances he had if he
remained and held the position adding that he
felt convinced his troops were so exhausted as
to preclude the possibility of removing them for
some hours to come. A1lenbys reply was that
he thought unless the commander of the Sec
ond corps made up his mind to move at day
break the enemy probably would succeed in
surrounding him. Nevertheless Sir Horace de-
termined to fight"
In this battle we lost about $4,000 officers
and men and 80 guns. That the army escaped
at all Lord French attributes to the work of the
cavalry under Alenby and Sordet The battle,
moreover, made the rest of the retreat more
arduous and destroyed all chance of making an
effective stand behind the Son1me or the Disc.
The whole narrative shows that so far as the
Second army was concerned there was great
deal more truth in the Times dispatch than in
the contemporary official accounts. LIE Cateau
did temporarily break the Second army, and
Lord French's own dispatch at the time is
largely to blame for the misunderstanding Of
the situation in this country. In this dispatch
he seemed to exculpae Smith-Dorren for
fighting at lie Cateau and he now explains that
when he wrote it he was ignorant of the sup
port rendered by the cavalry and accepted
Smith Dorrien's own estmatee of the position
of the German forces opposing him. But he
denies vigorously that headquarters ever gave
a tacit consent to the battle

in the ''stickum." Again he bounded
up while the second boot remained
