New York, June 11.-Waiting for
the return of Wilson and the final
word on peace prospects. the big bus
mess men of this city are today hold
ing up huge projects for future world
development that will break all Amer
lean records for enterprise, according
to Wall Street whisperings. Ambi-
tious plans for commerce and con-
struction in a score of foreign coun
tries, as well as the financing of 81
gantic worldwide undertakings, are
already known to have been thorough
~ prospected by local capitalists, and
only awaiting a start under the most
favorable conditions When the
whole world is finally freed for the
race for peacetime prosperity it seems
sure that this country will have Sc
cured head start.
Utterly Disguised with the gross
mismanagement Of wire service by
Uncle Sans political managers,
everyone in this town is now seeking
to bring about an end of this disas-
trous experiment in public owner
ship and operation. At the highest
rates in history, New Workers have
been treated to the lowest grade of
service ever since the government
took over the general necessities Of
telephone and telegraph Thousands
of dollars worth of business and mil
lions of dollars in time and temper
have been lost through the DELAYS
mistakes and shortcomings, that have
made the wire routes of communica-
ton almost as bad as the mails, only
much more extensive.
Soldiers Suffer.
Resenting current charges that they
are responsible for many riotings that
are rearly stirred up by the bolshe-
wiki hoodlums, leaders among the dis
charged doughboys hereabouts have
begun to disclaim much of the trou-
Bile that the police are prone to lay
at their door, Since the recent rough
house about the Yale campus, these
representatives of the soldier body
deny that their New Haven comrades
had any animosity toward the students
of university. whose sons they saw
play their part by the thousands over
seas. Whenever any trouble in a
crowd occurs, the soldiers declare,
| the authorities are apt to label 1t SOL
der riot" though few, if any, men
| from service are even on the edge
of the mob.
WIN scarcely Single Illlle .Ol even
| fair roadway leading out of this city,
everyone who drives a motor is now
| compelled to bump over pavement
! that would disgrace any village in the
whole state. Bad as the city streets
are after their last war winter, the
surrounding roads are worse, the driv-
ers declare, with few safe stretches
until the open country is reached,
many miles beyond the limits of town.
Unless the state authorities can i'm
prove the outlets for tourists here, II
is predicted that few of them will
fare forth toward the better pixies up
! state.
! Temperance Trials.
With sodas and sundaes soaring
| from a dime to almost quarter a
throw at the crowded fountains, the
whole tribe of the thirty throughout
this metropolis is suffering from the
high cost of cooling. Pioneers who
are testing the temperance drink route
! find that the frosty connections of the
fizz counters cost higher than high
balls, with lunch accompaniment faI
from free. When everyone has to turn
to the soda man for liquid refresh
ment, 1t seems sure that many a for
tune will be reaped behind these mar
Bile bars. EtlH
