Real Estate Springs to Activity as
Great Concerns Buy to Pro-
tect Their Business Homes

Bank Building is completed, viii be
pretty good location, no matter how
remote it may seem to-day, and there
without doubt is where the overflow
of the financial district will locate,
with those less fortunate firms finding
accommodations in the more modern
buildings a block to the north. If ex-
panslon continues as it is going on
to-day such development is newt
able.
But there the financial houses come
in competition with the jewelry trade.
and because bankers and brokers and
the like can afford to pay and will paw
the highest rents, the jewellers of the
district soon may find themselves con-
fronted by the very same problems
that are causing financial men to worry
a good deal to-day. Perhaps new con-
struction may save the situation, but
whatever Details there is little doubt
in the minds of real estate men that
the immediate vicinity of the new Fed
eral Reserve Bank Building will be-
come an important part of the fnan-
cial district.
In connection with the more recent
transactions in the lower part of the
city it is interesting to note that while
land values have been fiuctuating more
or less, depending on the strength and
financial ability of the individual own
er, these recently sold properties all
have brought prices almost as high as
the best valuations ever placed on
them. The matter of the buildings is
another story. One would think that
in view of the high cost of material

Owners Are Advised Not
To Load Up With Supplies

Reports which have come to the
Building Managers Association through
committees and members Indicate that
the prices of supplies used in the care
and maintenance Of buildings are de-
clining and concessions can bes ex-
pected.
The committee of the association
which has this matter in hand reported
to the members recently that prices
were softening. They were advised not
to buy in quantities, but in small
amounts at the market prices. Dealers
in supplies it was said are striving to
sell in large quantities, knowing that
prices are on the downward path

Financial Section, Unable to Ac-
commodate Its People, Expand
ing Into Jewelry District

From the financial district have come
,Ae great sensations Of the week in
real estate. In that old,~settled, usu-
ally quiet section three transactions
have been closed, or soon will be, that
mark revival in interest in real prop
erty in that neighborhood unequalled
in recent real estate history. 1t is in
strange contrast, this sudden bubbling
oyer Of the financial district realty
market, to the conditions of less than
two years ago, when property in Wall,
BROAD and Beaver streets was offered
in foreclosure because owners could
not meet their mortgage obligations
and the property was held so lightly in
the minds of real estate experts that
none OF them would offer bid above
the foreclosure prices.
But times have changed for Wall
Street real estate. as for most other
things. Big business is on the way.
The concerns of Wall Street and it's
neiehborhood are feeling the change.
These concerns want more space, but
there is none to be had. Nobody can
wait for new buildings to be erected,
for no one is able to say when that
will be. Ii more space is absolutely
essential there is but one way to get it,
and that is by buying it. So three big
buildings have passed over the counter
in week, and if reports heard are
borne out by facts good many more
buildings of considerable interest will
mass into new ownerships during the
coming few weeks. Not few concerns
that have never known any location
but the financial district are faced with

constituted mentally that it is not neces-
sary to exaggerate situation in order
to draw out the response that is desired.
Just give them the facts in situation
and they will rise to the emergency. Con-
tinually distort the facts, or continually
furnish the people with false view of
situations, even though unintentionally,
and there is sure to be reaction against
generous response. Perhaps it was not
possible to state accurately just what
Europes needs in the food line were-we
grant that--but at the same time there
is no justification for conclusions that
are not worked out from carefully cal
culated premises that are available To
make snap judgment that Europe needs
such and such an amount of food is not
pleasing to the American people and
tends to breed suspicion Of all appeals

WILSON SEEING. THE GERMAN
BLIGHT In FRANCE.

Now that President Wilson has found
the time to visit some Of the scenes of
desolation in France he will no doubt
gain some striking and powerful impress
sions of the fiendishness Of the Germans
in carrying on warfare. His visit to the
Marine region, to Chateau Thierry and to
Belleau wood, where the United States
troops distinguished themselves for their
courage and initiative at crucial point
in the German advance toward Paris,
must have caused feeling of great emo
ton to well up in his soul; and as he
passed on from one desoation to another
he probably secured new idea of the
monstrosities which the German high
command perpetrated. At Rheims he
saw the devilish design of the war lords
of Germany worked out in some OF its
most brutal fashions. He saw nothing
of course, Of the suffering which was
forced upon the French people, for no
longer are the French people suffering;
but he saw them in the midst of the ruin
of their homes and he saw the anguish in
their eyes over the losses which they sus-
tained-losses in relatives and losses in
property. To get the best impression of
what the French and the Belgian people
suffered, in contrast to the comparative
immunity of the German people, he had
to go among the ruins. We are glad that
he went to northern France before engag.
ing in the actual debates over peace, over
PREPARATION and over indemnity. We hope,
too, that he will wander through the
stricken districts of Belgium before he
gets much deeper into consideration, on
his part, of what the allies ought to de-
mand of Germany. No one who has not
seen France and Belgium as they were
left by the hand of the invader is in posi-
ton to give the most judicial considera.

A Parallel 70 Years Since.

An instructive if not very reassuring
parallel to the present situation in Ger
many is to be found in the France of
lS4S, when the provisional government
which was in charge till the constitu-
ent assembly should meet, was menaced
on one side by the imperialists, and legi-
timists, on the other by the socialists
Even within the government there was
a clash between the parliamentary re-
publicans, headed by Lemartine, and the
social republicans, headed by Louis
Blanc, division in many respects cor
responding to the division between bour-
geois and socialist elements in the Ger
man provisional government. The Sc
quel is well known. At the elections
held April %, the moderates polled a
great majority in the country at large,
and even in Paris won as many seats as
the right and left together. But this put
an end to the hopes of socialistic re-
forms, which even the moderate social
lists had cherished, while combining with
the bourgeois liberals to support law
and order.
The dissatisfaction of the bolsheviki
of that day was so great that they APP
pealed to force, and the civil war result
ing was far more serious than any clash
which has yet occurred in Germany. Be
tween the 23d and the 26th of June more
than 10000 men were killed or wounded
in the street fighting in Paris. The re-
volt was put down, but at the cost of a
reaction which made Louis Napoleon
first president and then emperor, and
France did not escape from his military
