New York, Oct. 2S.-While the
the tone of todays stock market con
tnued strong. Feeling regarding the
industrial situation was confident, yet
there was widespread appreciation in
market circles that the labor situation
is still ticklish and will require extreme
ly careful nursing to avoid serious
complications.
President Wilson's declaration that
the public welfare must be the first
consideration in labor disputes, II Is be-
lieved, will hae a salutary effect upon
the more radical element of tho labor
leaders. There were many of the
opinion in market circles that there
would he no coal strike notwithstand =
ing the reported dp6nantv attitude of the
coal union chieftau. Possibly of acci-
dents, however, served to make me
more conservative Of the trading eIe r.
nent cautious. This safe policy had
the effect TO curtail speculative Gu
thusiasm to some extent.
Another element of restraint was to
he found in the gradual increasing
frmness of the money market. The re
uevsl rate was advanced another peg
TODAY to Z per cent. indicating that the
liabilities of the brokers had not as yet
been reduced to an extent TO warrant q
renewal of the recent speculative orgy.
Neither the money nor the labor con
ditions had much effect upon the plans
and operations Of the pools and cllques'
who virtually had the market alto
retbor to themselves. The spectacle of
the rapidly mounting prices IN these
selected issues nevertheless had both
an invigorating and sustaining intiu-
epce upon the general list. This was
demonstrated in the constant broaden
ing of speculative acting as the session
progressed,
4 vigorous buying movement again
developed immediately following. the
opening. suggesting continued difficulty

PLAN LEAGUE OF VETERANS
How Soldiers in Great War Hope to
Perfect an Organization Of
All Arms.

A movement seeking to bring under
one great organization, the rank and
file of the armies and naVies Of the
nations allied against the central pow
ers, has been started in Boston under
the name of the Legion of Allied Vet
Grams of the Great War, The organ
ization has a charter frs he s@te
of Massachusetts,, and has d%ablished
headquarters in Boston, with Sergt. Fl.
e. Pheeney, late of the Canadian ex-
peditionary forces, as legion COM
mander.
According to Sergeant Pheeney, the
object of the organization closely re-
sembles that of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which brought together the
veterans Of the armies of the United
States at the close of the Civil war
and which still continues. 1t is the
desire of the leaders of the legion to
promote good fellowship, fraternity
and mutual welfare, and to assist
those veterans in need of aid. 1t is
declared that the legion is without po
litical aspirations or propaganda, ant
that it has, the Endorsement of officer
of the army and navy of the United
States. Similar support is expected
to be received from officials Of othe
| allied nations.

HOW BRAVE SONS OF

HELPED MOTHER COUNTRY.
War imposes many sacrifices (
upon nation engaged in it, and
civilian life necessarily is dis
turbed. The United States will
have to share with other bel
ligerents the inconvenience Incl
dent to the conflict. But if any
one is inclined to feel discon-
tented, he should take the trou-
BILE to note what has been done
by New Zealand since the be-
ginning of hostilities. That do
minion, though under no legal
obligation to aid England, has
raised an army Of more than
100000 men. Her population Is
100000.
Since New Zealand has had a
compulsory service law. she has
drafted a large number Of mar
ried men, both with and without
children. The dominion has
raised $1300oO,0O0 in domestic
war loans. A finance act was
recently adopted which empow-
ers the government to levy on
salaries amounting to more than
$500 a year, and to take dras-
tic and far-reaching measures in
order to raise money. Maori
tribes have uncomplainingly
furnished large quotas Of men to
the army. The whole country,
in short, was determined to help
vigorously to carry the war to
successful finish.
Canada and Australia have
been no less unself1sh in sup
porting the war. The whole
hearted and entirely voluntary
exertions of the British domin-
ions furnish an inspiring exam
pie to the American people.
! When Canada, Australia, and
New Zealand made such sacri-
fees for Great Britain, Ameri-
cans might even more cheerful
ly endure hardships for their
own country. When any "squal-
3 ling" Is heard, it is not from our
