Business Forecast
Business Feature Service)

Despite the material increase of
October over September exports, and
the decrease of imports, the recent
collapse in foreign exchange has
given rise to fears not only that
American exports. may be largely
reduced, but also that something
akin to domestic business depression
may follow as consequence. The
outlook is apparently darker than
at any time in the past. Not only
has sterling touched $500, but the
government pursues its policy of re-
fusing to initiate foreign credits, the
Edge bill hangs fire in the House,
business men and bankers have been
unable to agree upon any feasible
and comprehensive plan, and the
public shows an amazing indiffer-
ence toward the whole issue.
Rejection of the peace treaty cre-
ated not temporary panic or depres-
sion, and its effect upon exchange
and foreign trade seems almost neg
ligible. Feeling prevails that the
delay, while unfortunate, will be
short-livcd, and that the treaty with
certain notifications will be rati-
fled in December. II is true the
world must have Il treaty and The
American must acquiescc herein.
But whether the business world is
justified in its apparent confidence
that present differences will be adj
iusted without disturbing ;nterna-
tional relations is not Gear. What
eve1 the outcome of The Senate de-
bate, the need is urgent to strength
en- al exchange market in which the
German mark sells for little more
than two cents in American money
and sterling has declined to the low
est point IN history. -Self-interest
dictates immediate action.
The next month or so should wit
ness very active retail buying in
preparation for the holidays and
considerable activity with tightness
in the money market. Seasonal
dullness in all lines will follow. =

There is not mechanical display
and much of the machinery will be
shown in operation-but will be more

visitor There is not n display OF

More than billion dollars is back
of this Sixth annual National Farm

aliZation of the concerns making the
exhibits will total more than that
sum, and they are stalking their faith
i'll the success of the exposition.
One of the biggest features of the

towns; yet there is great variety of
choice even in these instances. The
least costly and yet not least attrac-
tive conceivable memorial hs the tree.

from that county into the service of
the United States.
- Aagpole is perhaps next smallest
IN cost. and yet most appropriate.
This may be merely of-wood, with a
simple base, or 1T may have as elabo-
rate base as the flagstaffs on the
Plaza of st. Mark, in Venice, or on
the plaza of our own Union station
IN this city. The cost will range
from few hundred dollars to forty
or fifty thousand dollars, according
to the simplicity or the elaborateness
OF the base. A simple fountain can
be secured for as little as $4,000, or
may cost many thousands; stone
seat with inscription for only $500; a
monument such as that at Whitins-
vile for $4,000; bandstand for
100000. For less than $1,000 nothing
In the way of really good sculpture
can be secured. A simple stone or
tablet, with the names of the SOL
diers, may be provided for this sum.
For $4,000 modest piece of sculp-
ture may be obtained. or even a
bronze statue. A relief is less expen-
sive to cast than a statue in the
round, and for $4,000 something really
admirable can be obtained.
Unfortunately, it is the little town
with 10000 to spend which longs
to erect a memorial which will look
as If it cost 100000. 1t makes less
difference what form the memorial
takes than that it should be very
good of its kind; that it should be
so well proportioned, so finely de-
signed, SO beautifully executed, that
1t worthily commentaries the spirit
which called 1t forth.

and there is no reason why COM
munity house might not be made q
fitting memorial, but 1t should be
first a memorial and it should BIO
so well designed and so beautiful in
itself that 1t would stand for things
spiritual as well as material One
can easily conceive such a building,
which externally would be a matter
of pride and an example to succeed
ing generations, which in purpose
would be useful, which might contain

OF the great halls in Europe and the
Harvard Memorial Hall possess, which,
embellished by sculpture, by paint
ings, by stained-glass windows, would
give expression to the spirit Of self
sacrifice and heroism and nobility
and patriotism which animated the
men who We're ready to give, and
who in many instances gave a SUI
preme sacrifice for the ideals OF CIV
ilizatlon.
1t is quite possible to imagine q
memorial theater, a memorial school,
a memorial hospital, a memorial Of
any useful type contributing to the
needs of humanity and benefiting the
people of succeeding generations. but
great care should be taken that the
element of beauty is always present.
and that it in itself be SO sincerely
a work of art that Independent of
it's use, 1t lends to future generations
inspiration.
Senator Root, in an address made
at the recent convention of the Amer
lean Federation Of Arts, said: "If we
really have in our hearts the spirit
that moved America in the great war,
we shall search for adequate express
sion, and we shall lay upon the
artists of America the burden of f1nd-
ing the visible expression that will
be a revelation to US of what we
really feel, as well as a revelation
to ages to come. 1t should not be
that the exaltation of spirit that
moved America from it's materialism
and its dull. sleepy prosperity shall
be lost to our country hereafter. It
should not be that future generations
shall be unmoved by the mighty
forces which have moved us. but that
spirit can be carried to them only
by the performance of the highest
function of art. Only the interpreted
ton of the spirit by art can carry
that incalculable blessing to the fu.
ture generations of our country"

had its origin in the prize-fighters'

catalogues or in shops or Of dealers;
they must be individually designed
and suited for a particular place and
requirement.
There is the danger too, that those
who have long had projects, in many
instances commendable in themselves,
for which they have wanted funds for
accomplishment, will seize upon the
present sentiment to secure these
funds, lacking on to the former OBJ
ject memorial purpose. So far has
this gone that in one instance town
was urged by its municipal officers to
approve the appropriation for build
ing which should house, it is true, an
auditorium, place for public gather
ings, but also municipal offices and
Jail, much needed. 1t was said, in that
community.
There Is a case. also, Of a town in
remote section of our great southwest
which long wanted bandstand for
its park. and Is now going to erect
one in the form Of a hexagon thirty
feet in diameter. with a Toulouse be-
low. Somewhere on the outside will be
a tablet inscribed with the names Of
the boys who went to war, while the
whole Is to be topped with red tile
roof above which will rise a copper
statue of liberty. copper being the
towns leading industry. These are. of
course. not isolated examples Of
stupidity.
On the other hand, there is an evil
dent desire on the part of the people
to secure that which is really good
and which will fittingly serve to COM
memorate the heroism and the spirit
Of self-sacrifice of those who went
into the war. In order to assist such,
the American Federation of Arts,
which has its main office in this city,
some months ago appointed a gen.
eral committee on war memorials,
with Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Federal Commission of Fine Arts, as
its chairman. This committee, on which
are such well known professional
men as Herbert Adams, sculptor:
Henry Bacon. architect; Edwin H.
Blashfeld. painter; Cass Gilbert,
architect. and such well known men
of affairs as Otto H. Kahn, Elihu
Root and Robert w. de Forest, is
