Our Bankers in the World.
From eslie's.

From Leslie's.
America is now called upon to play
a role undreamed of in former years
in international commerce and finance.
This country has become the one
great source of longtime capital in
the world. European countries which
have previously been the chief lend
ing nations are, for the present at all
events, no longer in a position to lend
by buying foreign securities. They
must, in fact, for years to come them
selves be heavy borrowers. Not only
Ia America the chief source OF long
time money, but also for a time is
likely to be the chief source OF short
time banking funds to finance inter-
national commerce. New York will
permanently occupy a relatively much
more commanding place than before
the war in international commercial
transactions. Dollar exchange may
not displace sterling exchange in the
markets of the world, but dollar ex-
change has come to stay. We may
we'll expect it to rank permanently
above any exchange except sterling.
and probably on an equal footing with
sterling exchange.

NEW YORK, September 13.-Trade
conditions favor a great expansion in
shipping, p. A. s. Franklin, president
Of the International Mercantile Ma
rine. reported upon his arrival here
from Europe today on the steamship
Adriatic His company, he added. Is
in a position to take advantage Of
every opportunity ito help further de-
velop American shipping, either by
operating United States Shipping
Board vessels or in any other way"
THE British shipbuilding interests"
he explained. ARE not worrying about
American competition, nor is Great
Britain bothering about the question
as to whether or not she is to be the
leader in world shipping as she was
before the war. On the contrary. her
spirit appears to be that of desiring
to cooperate with all nations in re-
establishing normal shipping condi-
tions by an increase in world tom
mage"
"The United States" continued Mr..
Franklin, SHOULD not miss the present
opportunity in shipping and ought to
assist in every possible way the ship
ping interests which stand ready to
keep this a great maritime nation.
What is needed is a strong conserva-
tive police. The object at the present
moment should be a better balanced
fleet Of American vessels and proper
attention should be paid to high class
and intermediate class passenger ships
as well as cargo carriers

The Naples of Vimy Ridge.
Frona.the Detroit Free Press.


An overseas dispatch says two hun
dred young naples have been planted
on the desert of what was Vimy
Ridge. This is the beginning of the
proposed Canadian memorial forest
the maple is Canada's emblematic
tree-and the saplings just placed are
declared to be the only living trees In
the war zone today.
How the landscape has been
changed, and how the reconstructed
one will differ from that before the
war! Most Americans think OF Hol-
land, Belgium. Flanders as painted by
Van Goyen. Ruyysdael. Rembrandt
and others. 1nstinctlveiy the men'I
picture follows Hobbema's avenue of
Middleharnis," with spindling. thin
shanked, wisp-topped and scant-on-
shade trees either side the road. What
a different aspect naples would give
the scene, or oaks. or elms or other
wide-spreading varieties. The Euro
pean. like the oriental. seems to have
chosen his favorite trees on some 9TH
er basis than expansive foliage-the
cedar, the cypress. the palm, the
stonepine, the poplar of Lombardy;
vet the inspiration for Gothic cathe-
drals came from the solemn groves of
arch-like trunks and limbs and foli-
age, and wherever two elms meet
there is the suggestion right at hand.
Many years must elapse before the
war-torn regions are again venerable
with trees and by that time a new
school of landscape painting may have
come, glad to paint full, rounded trees
like the American. Inness; or, revers-
ing the Inness method of leaving
circular opening through his trees to
reveal the scene beyond, this future
school may feature the transplanted
naples rounded "area" in the fore=
ground while displaying the Euro
pean background on either side.

Labor Shortage, Thousands Idle.

r rom the Pnlladelpnla inquirer.
Much has been said of the dangers
of unemployment. especially among
the returning soldiers. Yet all the
evidence goes to show that there is
a shortage rather than a surplus of
labor and the problem of finding
work is the very simple one Of going
where work is to be found. In other
words, the disorganization of the la
Dor market to which the war has
contributed. is only temporary. When
the discharged men get away from
. the large cities, where they are now
disposed to linger, they need have no
difficulty in earning their living
There will be labor shortage of
700, 900 men before fall" is the pre-
diction of Col. Arthur Woods Mean
while, however. much fitting of the
man and the job remains to be done
A member of the Union States EN-
ployment Service declares that "one-
tenth of the men whom New York
cheered are now begging for jobs"
The two statements are not contra
dictory. There is no use in Offering
a man job he cannot fill.
The fact seems to be that, while
the increasing emigration of recent
immigrants is creating a shortage of
ployers of farm hands are hunting
in vain for help. while in certain me-
chanical trades the demand is greater
than the supply. there remains
classes of which the reverse is true.
This is conspicuously the case with
the building trades and with clerical
employees. Now construction still
fingers and women have supplantea
men in many banks and business
Offices. The paradox of a great short
age of labor, with thousands still
out of work. is still possible. The
main thing is to make this rather
painful period of adjustment as brief
as possible.

French Art Of Courtesy.

From the New York Evening Post.
No one can understand this French
conception of art, as no one could I'M
derstand the similar Greek concep-
ton, without distinguishing clearly
between art and artifice. The first
comment of the Anglo-Saxon on all
art is likely to be that 1t is artincial:
his comment upon the French lire. IL
self an art. is that it partakes TOO
much of the quality of artifice. The
difficulty is that such a comment as
sumes civilization as a natural thing,
said Prof. Erskine in recent lee
ture to his soldier students in France.
The Frenchman knows better. When
our mothers sent US to childhood par
ties and cautioned us to behave, nat
uraIly they did not mean what they
said; they meant that We should wear
our acquired arts of courtesy as
though they were natural.
In that sense all civilization Is not
natural, and French life, being the
most highly civilized. has most the
character of art. But the French
themselves are even more severe than
we are in condemning artifice. which
to them is not art but its most per-
verse enemy Art for them must be
frank and sincere, a quite open con-
troll of means to reach an intelllglDle
ideal. There is nothing secret about
it; it., glory is the large part that
in it-as any choice between good and
evil should be calculating and rea-
sonable. Artifice, on the other hand.
is the putting on of disguise. the as
snming of methods which do not har-
monize with the genuine purpose; it is
a too great emphasis upon means and
a too slight valuation of the noble
end Art is. as 1t Were. the contrast
or other pole to nature; 1t Is the con-
dition which is reached when man
has given an Interpretation and a di-
rection to the chaos of crude expe-
rience. In between these extremes Is
artifice. partaking Of the quality of
both-half directed, half meaning
less.

The Pen a Poor Way to Fortune.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
An exaggerated idea of the earnings
of writer's has been fostered by the
passionate press agent of the .'best
sellers" Highly popular authors have
died. leaving little to show for their
labors. The latest case is that of Mrs.
Amelia E. Barr. Beginning COMPARE
lively late in life. she worked with
prodigious industry, rivaling Mrs. Oil
plant in this respect The list of her
novels is a long one. nor did this rep
resent all her literary activity.
Mrs. Bars will, which has Just been
read. shows that her total estate was
only a little over $500 in personal
property. There are presumably row
alties still coming to it. But all her
labors sufficed merely to support her
while she lived. 1t should not be for
gotten. moreover. that, while with one
or two exceptions her novels did not
have the enoromus vogue that those
of some of her contemporaries enjoyed
she was a distinctly popular novelist,
with a wide circle of readers The way
to fortune is not often found by the
pen.

HOW THE TUBERCLE BACILLUS

One Resident Who De6es Legal Processes

, bodily resistance. The walls about
the home, which the tubercle bacillus
has occupied for SO long. begin to
crack and crumble. They break down.
and the tubercle bacillus, with his en-
tire family, for the first time in his
, life, must move.
Naturally, he is angry. So, he takes
all his sons and all his daughters and
walks away, eating as he goes along.
And for every mouthful taken by a
tubercle bacillus. poison is emitted
! which kills tissues and other struc-
lures about it.
And then, after twenty years, per-
haps, the child who crawled about
| the floor has active tuberculosis.
tuberculosis Insidious Disease.
tuberculosis is an insidious disease.
| 1t does not always infect Immediately
after the germs have been taken into
the body. According to figures given
| by the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. 70 per cent of infection from the
disease comes first to children under
sixteen years of age.
| Even under such circumstances ply
sicians have determined that tubercu-
loSlS cannot only be cured, but can
| be prevented. 1t is deadly disease
and it kills 10000 every year in this
country, but each year the rate de-
creases slightly, because more people
| nave learned that the disease can be
prevented and can be cured
Fresh air, cleanliness, good food
rest and freedom from worry are re-
| CURED. These can best be obtained in
a sanatorium. But each year there
are more than 100000 cases of tu-
berculosis in the country, and there
are not nearly enough sanatoria.
To provide more sanatoria, and to
teach more people that tuberculosis
can be cured, the National Tubercu-
losis Association, with the 1900 local
and state anti-tubercuIosis associa-
tons affiliated with it, has planned
the greatest educational campaign
ever known in health work for next
year
During the holidays just before
Christmas 60O.0OO.00O Red Cross seals
are to be sold throughout the country
at penny apiece. The 100000 de-
rived from this sale will go to build
| sanitoria and to teach the life-sayins
| facts about the disease.
In that 100000 there lies the way
to make the rent problem something
for the tubercle bacillus to worry
| about. Because it will help to remove
his easy method of getting a home
and will insure health to everybody.

story Of nationwide growth of al

Before the advent of Coca-Cola,
soda waters were little more than a
