Return OF Men To Industry To
3 Have Decided Effect,
Says Clews.

New York, May 10.-The most dras-
tic yet the most just peace treaty the
world has ever seen has just been put
before Germany. There is no doubt
about its being signed, in spite of pro-
test. Germany's power for harm has
been absolutely destroyed, and her tu-
ture rulers will have to devote them.
selye1 to rebuilding Germany upon
very different ideals from those which
wrecked the recent empire. Unfortu-
nately for Germany, she shows no evi-
dence of repentance, no recognition of
the enormous crimes which she has
committed, and only faint realization
Of the ostracism she has incurred from
the civilized world. Let us hope that
the German conscience will be awak-
ened, for in that direction alone can
her future salvation be found. A very
heavy economic burden will be imposed
upon Germany, but probably not more
than she can bear. The indemnity will
be paid; and by industry. thrift and
efficiency Germany, with her great
genius for organization, will recover
her industrial and commercial position
more quickly than expected.
Effects of Peace Pact
The effect of assured peace upon the
Gorld will be to hasten the return of
normal conditions. Many restrictions

Manv New Enterprises

ed he will arrive early in June.
Many New Enterprises
One of the most convincing eyidenc.
es Of business revival was the almost
unprecedented volume of new enter
prises. In April the total reported Of
concerns with a capital Of 100000 and
lover was $5l5,00O000, compared with
370O00,000 a year ago. This monthly
total has been only twice exceeded; !;
in 1917 when many war concerns were
created, and in 1901 when United
States Steel was brought out. Such
figures afford substantial reason for
encouragement. Among the features Of
Nthe returns are the large numbers of
new export and import concerns, new
oil and gas companies and new drug
and chemical manufacturing compan.
ies. In new shipping concerns there
was sharp decline.
Stock Market Conditions
This week the stock market labored
under conflicting influences. The holi-
day, the victory loan campaign, che
unfavorable April railroad report and
the drop Of the country's monthly iron
production from 10000 tons in Octo,
bcr TO $4,000 tons last month all serv.
ed to somewhat restrain bnllish ar
dor. On the other hand there was no
weakensdg Iof the strong undertone
based on conditions now very familiar
Much Of this confidence is also based
upon the belief that when the victory
loan is over the money market will be
less and less under the influence Of
government operations, which for the
last two years have more than absorb.
ed all new capital. Initiation permeat.
ied every portion of our economic struc.
ture, except peace securities. These are
now feeling such influences, and the
outlook is for a strong market for
some time to come. Some Of the indus
trials and speciality shares have made
remarkable advances, neeessitating dis
examination in future purchases, giving
preference to some of the lower pric.
ed stocks hitherto neglected. The May
crop report indicates a wheat yield Of
about 9O000O,000 bushels, valued at
over s2,00O,00O,000. Director General
Hines Of the railroads has invited bids
for 100000 tons Of steel rails, which
removes government control # steel
prices. Both these developments are
important favorable factors.

CONCLUSION OF PEACE FIRST STEP
TOWARD REDUCED COST OF LIVING


upon foreign trade will soon disappear.
Great international enterprises which
have long been suspended will soon be
put into operation, and as a result Of
the war we may look for a widespread
expansion of commerce and industry.
The world S shipping will be more free
for commercial purposes. Gradually
but surely traffic will grow and indus
try revive. Peace will be the first step
towards reducing the cost OF living;
because millions of men will turn from
idleness to productive industry, while
the scarcity Of food, minerals, textiles,
etc which is at bottom of high prices
will eventually disappear. Before the
war Germany imported $3.50, 100000
Of merchandise and exported $2,220,-
100000. A considerable portion Of this
trade will be soon recovered. Our ex-
ports of copper, oil, cotton, leather. and
etc, must soon be resumed to Germany
on large scale, in fact considerable
quantities Of these proSuets have al
ready been shipped to foreign countries
in anticipation OF this demand. Ger
many S foreign trade was chiefly with
the British empire and the United
States. and unfortunately the hatred
she has incurred with these nations
will be an impediment to her recovery.
An Era of Initiation
There is no Disgusting tRe fact that
this country is running full speed un-
der the stimulus Of war initiation, such
as has followed all great conflicts.
How long it will continue, whether one,
two or three years, no one can tell.
Such movements are too often ended
only by exhaustion, which is not yet
in sight, or by some unexpected eatas-
trophe. Fortunately the situation is
still sound, and over expansion Of
credit has not yet reached the danger
point, thanks to the strength and elias
tieity of the new federal reserve sys.
tenn. OF course any human organiza
ton may be overloaded, but our bank
crs guided by past experience can be
depended upon TO put on the brakes
whcen necessary, while the federal re-
HtINk lAhHN5fiH ihfhiHNANN0 Nhu ftiA't
will exercise powerful restraint. The
leading merchants Of the interior dis
play great confidence in q season of
active trade during the latter half Of
the year, based upon unusual agrieul-
turai profits. Steel producers expect
big demand for their products later on
from the railroads from building con
tractors and automobile makers. Oil
producers see bic business ahead ow-
ing to the tremendous expansion in the
use Of oil for power and fuel. Agri-
cultural and animal products are sure
TO be exported in large quantities at
good prices to fill the void in Europe.
Cotton will 90 forward freely when
the cotton mills of Europe fairly re-
sunie. Textile manufacturers here are
upon a large home and for /
agn demand. For copper there Is a

$6,4OO This Year.

The fire loss in Salem has been grad
ually becoming less each year, aeee-l,
ing to the record of fires kept by marry
R. Hutton, chief Of the fire department.
From a valuation of S4O,S79.9O worth
Of buildings destroyed by fire in 1915,
the loss has been gradually becoming

department, within the past two years
fires were extinguished that might have
proven disastrous. One was reported
from the Spaulding Logging company,
at time when the wind was blowing
strongly from the west. and the other
happened in the Mccormack block, due
TO the electric current being left on an
