4 RELIGIOUS TR4CT
Mrs. Lut5 Missed Her Oppor.
tunity in Her Latest NoUel

If Mrs. Grace Iivington Hill Lutz,
of Swarthmore. had risen to the posi-
bilities of the theme of her latest novel
"The Search. =" she would have produced
n piece of literature which would have
lifted her from the ranks of the pro
ducers of goody goody tales into those
of the real noveliSts.
1t is the story of the search of a
young man for the fundamental veri-
tits. a search which has occupied the
minds of thinkers since ethical stand
ards were first raised and man realized
that he was living soul. Mrs. Lutz,
however, has preferred to write her tale
in the terms of an orthodox Christian
evangelist and to tell how the hero
'sfo,Ind Christ Joined the church and
then saved his enemy from death on the
battlefield.
She has made it seem as il the only
way out was through the formulas OF
orthodox Protestant Christianity. The
problem with which she tried to deal
is broader than Christcndom. 1t per-
picked the Greeks. The Confucianism
of China struggled with it. Buddha
talked of it. The native American In
dians had glimpses of it. Mrs. Lutz
seems not to be aware of this, or if she
he she prefers to restrict herself to the
narrow confines of single theological
school instead of ranging the broad field
of the souls habitat.
The story itself is written about the
rivalry between a poor young man and
n rich braggart for the hand of young
woman of wealth. The braggArt boasts
that he will marry the girl and the poor
youth thinks he has no chance to win
her. Both men go to France in the
army, but before they go the girl dis
covers that she has fondness for her
humble lover who has not whispered a
word of his affection. In France the
moor youth saves the life of the brag
CART instead of permitting him to die
as he might have done. He is seriously
wounded while rescuing his enemy and
his life is despaired of until the girl
arrives at the hospital as Il nurse. From
that moment his recovery is rapid and
everything ends happily. The book, as
Il stands, is a religious tract in the
| form of love story. 1t will doubt
less be commended by many. clergy
men and find its way into thousands
of Sunday school libraries.

Heyliger is strongly of the opinion that

into the disastrous war, was that they
had no national game and that they
lacked, therefore. the sense OF true
craftsmanship. The boys in his book

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 11.-Periods of strength mainly on the opening and again on the close, marked the trading in cotton today.
 During the noon hour the market soft ened rapidly under heavy selling and went to a net decline. It firmed up rapid ly in the last few minutes of trading and closed at a net gain for the day of IS to 50 points.
 The opening was higher on bad wealth CT in the belt good cables and a better feeling regarding the political situation
 The improvement continued until it amounted to 2S to il points. Small mill takings for the week. 139 600 bales of American, agalnst 233,000 this week last year, caused a selling wave and prices broke sharply landing the market 6 to 13 points under the close of yesterday on the most active months. For while the tone was barely steady but finally new strength was gained on the rumor that Lloyd George had announced that the entente allies ana associates had come into complete accord on the peace terms.
 On this new style May bulged to new high level for the day to 25.01c- where it stood 5l points over yesterdays close.

FRESH STRENGTH
 SHOWN IN CORNAT CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
The United States Shipping Board Will Not Assign More Vessels to Ar
 genuine Trade

Chicago, April 11.-Fresh strength devel- oped in the corn market today, chiefly as result of word that the United States shipping board woudl not assign any more vessels to the Argentine trade. Prices closed unsettled, 9sG1ssc net higher, with May $l.57A@1.5S4 and July s1491sGlloo Oats finished at Ac decline to a like ad- vance. In provisions there was a rise or g to 52c. Inasmuch as pressure of Ar genuine offerings had been to a large de- gree responsible for the latest setbacks in the value of corn, the outlook that iin- ports from Argentina would not broaden as much as had been looked for, led to a general rush this morning to buy corn here Wet weather and the scantiness O. domestic rural offerings tended also 10 emphasize bulish sentiment. After mid day, however, a material reaction LOOK place owing to likelihood of more Ilp- eral arrivals next week and to eastern messages asking on what basis exporters could cancel purchases. Besides, hedging sales were reported as having been made for Tennessee and Kentucky.
 Oats followed corn, advancing carry and weakening later. Jumps in provisions were ascribed in the main to an lm- proved outlook for export business.

New York, April ll.-An early advance in the cotton mar ket was followed by sharp reactions on prospects for better weather and talk of peace spot offerings. New style May contracts sold off from 2G. 25c to 25SJc and october from 22.S3c to 22.2lc, but rauied dl in the late trading or reports that work on the peace treaty had been almost dcmpleted, closing al 36 15c and 22257c rfspectvely.
 Liverpool was a b lyer on a scale down and there was also some domestic trade demands, but the market was weak and unsettled during the early afternoon with active positions selling to 9 points un- der last nights closing figures. The bulk of the pressure. however, was attributed to realizing and the market turned firmer iE the last half hour on the foreign polit ical advices and covering
 London advices esttmated that the clos ing of mills using American cotton in England for a fortnight will reduce the consumption by S0.D0 bales, but local spot brokers say the demand from eX- porters and domestic buyers during the past three days has been more active than for some weeks.

New Orleans, April l1.-Yesterday' of ficial frost predictions for the cotton belt did not materialize-on the contrary the man shows fair and warmer over the west with no ram west of river. but un- favora ble heavy rams occurred over the southwestern portion.
