BRAND FIGHTING THE TIGER
cIemenceau, However, Intends to Be
His Own Successor

Students of French politics are be-
ginning to realize that something like
veritabe duel is in progress between
the ''Tiger" and his only serious rival,
NJ. Brdnd, the issue at stake being the
succession to the present headship of
the French Government. The latest de-
velopments, when one reads between the
lines, tend to foster the belief that NJ.
Clemenceau, despite all the rumOrs of
his pending retirement from political
life, intends to be his own successor.
Some time before the war NJ. BRAND
abruptly separated himself from his old
friends of the Socialist party and de-
clared himself in favor of the policy of
burying the hatchet, with the result
that he was hailed as the future leader
Of the great solid party represented by
moderate thinking France. His sup
port of electoral reform proposals has
since then strengthened his prospects
in this respect. Meanwhile, the
Tiger, who has consistently declared
himself thoroughly opposed to all change
in the present electoral system, has won
by his magnificently energetic conduct
OF the war an immensely strong posi-
tion among virtually all the classes OF
Frenchmen, except the extreme Social
lists, who would probably be very much
inclined to forgive him for his enmity
90 electoral reform-which has, by the
way, just been approved in the form OF
legislative enactment by both cham
bers of legislature.

PERSHING CHEERS WOUNDED
General Praises Courage Of Men al
Hospital In Washington

Washington, Sept. 19.--(By A. P. -
General Pershing, in an address to
wounded men at Walter Reed Military
Hospital last night, paid tribute to the
fortitude and cheerfulness of American
soldiers who were wounded on the bat =,
tlefelds of France. Their courage and
spirit, he said was at all times an
inspiration to their comrades at the
front and deserved the everlasting graf =
itude of the nation.
1T is q very great privilege for me, :"
said General Pershing, ito have the
opportunity of saying word to the men
who offered themselves for the supreme
sacrifice, and who have carried back
home with them the evidence of it.
~ am sure that every member of our
army in France would envy, me the
chance of saying to this group of mem
who so gallantly represented their coun :.
try on the battlefelds of France, how
much we think of them, how much graf
itudc fills our heart, for the splendid
service they have rendered. ] would
that I might myself shake hands, with
each individual and express to him my
own personal qualification and thanks
for his courageous service"

TRADING IN THE LOCALS
CAME TO A STANDS7TLL
Conspicuous Absence of Liquidation Despite Critical Stage Of
Steel Labor Situdtion-Price Changes Slight

Trading in the local stocks came next
to n complete standstill. In fact, there
was not sufficient business done during
the first hour to permit an intelligent
opinion of either the trend or charac
tcristics of the market.
Like all other security exchanges the
market was under the ban of the criti
cal turn in the steel labor situation
The decision, however, Of the steel labor
unions to inaugurate strike next
Monday rather than influencing wide
spread selling, had the effect to put O
damper on all speculative activity.
There was only a dribbling of selling
orders when the market opening and
the execution of these influenced q
slight fractional shading of prices
One or two of the local stocks started
with small gains.
While none Of the local stocks will
be directly affected by a strike, still
