HAs THE CRISIS PAssEn2

That the crisis of Industrial unrest
in this country has been passed and
that better business conditions may be
anticipated from now on is the view
taken by the National Bank OF Com
merce in New Y ork in its market let
ter in the December issue of it's maga-
zine. Commerce Monthly. The bank
points to the failure of the steel strike.
the yielding of the coal miners to con-
'stituted authority. and the plans for
-Geporting dangerous aliens. as signs
OF better days.
AS a result of the coal strike. the
bank says. the production of bitumin-
ous coal has been greatly curtailed. In
the week ending November s. less than
third as much coal was mined as the
average for the four weeks ended
October 25. October pig iron produc-
tion was only 1.seS,55s tons, the
smallest monthly output since Feb
ruary. 1915.
Production of crude petroleum in
September. the latest month for which
statistics are available. made a new
record. s4.4S7. 200 barrels. Wool con-
sumption for September was 6o.000.-
900 pounds. This is the highest
monthly consumption for any, month

Cotton consumption In October was
81, o31 bales over the preceding month,
being 555.344 bales. There were more
active cotton spindles reported In
October than ever before. Building
contracts awarded for the month of
October were higher than for any pre-

Great activity is reported in the de-
mand for practically all grades of
merchandise. and the customary in

holidays is felt to an even greater de-
gree than usual.

about this whole matter of land-steal-
ing by rivers Just as the river has
gone on carving channels and piling
up layers of silt in a highly confus-
ing way. so the lawyers and judges
have been at work piiing up a struc-
ture of precedent as myterious as the
record of the river.
Thus it has repeatedly been held
that there are two ways in which a
river may steal land from a man or
from a stately accretion or avuI-
sion. If a river which is the bound
airy between two states slowly gnaws
away part or one of them and adds a
corresponding area to the other, it is
held that the river is still the bound
ary. The state that loses land is
simply in hard luck and the state that
gains is in good luck.
This precedent is apparently justi-
fled by the facts that it is impossible
accurately to follow or to determine a
slow process of accretion. and that
what is lost by a state at one point
may be gained at another.
But if this same river. in a sudden
freshet, shifts its course two miles,
cutting a large chunk of land Oft of
one state and adding an equal amount
to another, this process is called
avuision, and it has always been held
states is just where it was before the
freshet.
This legal distinction between accre-
ton and avulsion may seem clear and
good to you. or it may not. But it
is plainly going to allow the lawyers
to do much brilliant talking in the
Red river case. For the question
naturally arises. did the Red river ac-
crete or did it avulse? The trees can
tell where it used to be, but they can
not tell how it moved. Did it bite this
valuable chunk out of Oklahoma all
at once or did it eat away little by
little?
The general conduct of the river
would seem to indicate that it is more
inclined to avulsion than to accretion.
But it is evident from the number of
channels located by the biologists, that
there must have been many success
sive avulsions. Now the question may
we'll arise, does a long series of avul-
siens amount to an accretion?
Thus you see what a subtle thing
is the law. and how great matters may
hang upon a distinction as fine as the
hair OF a frog.

Failure of the United States to enter
the League OF Nations will accentuate
the necessity for universal military
training. Many authorities agree that
had we possessed a six months mill
tary training program our casualties
in the war would have been but two
thirds the number they reached. Uni
versal service is a necessity in war.
Universal training is a necessity in
peace to prepare for war. The train
ing will not increase a mans liability
to serve in war. Neither will he be
subject to call while in the camps for
the suppression of strikes or riots.
That is the function OF the police and
state troops. Only by act of congress
in case of war can any American be
