EUROPEAN BUYERS
AVOID YANKEE GOODS

London, June European buy
ers are avoiding American goods
when they can get others.
This is the note Of warning ut
tered by the American Chamber Of
Commerce in London and the serious
ness of this aspect Of the foreign
trade situation is emphasized by the
Weekly Export Bulletin. which
points out that every factor favorable
to laying the foundation Of perma1,-
emily great exports is present-with
the exception of credit.
"The American business world
finds itself almost entirely without
the credit necessary to finance ex-
ports" says the report. 1.-THE glorious
talk about the Edge Bill, the billion
dollar fund of the War Finance Cor
poration, and the other schemes for
financing exports have all faded
away. The banker appears unable
even to supply all the loans demand
ed for domestic business.
"The depreciation of the European
exchanges and the consequent re-
striction of the purchasing power Of
this country is factor which many
American manufacturers failed to
reckon in earlier and more optimis-
tic calcula tiors. .r~
However, the report of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce expresses
much hope in the future for American
trade in Europe if the American mer-
chants will get together and assist in
adjusting the exchange balance
Without some cooperation in this
way it is apparent that American
business interests will suffer in the
near future. If

LONG A FAMOUS PLAYHOUSE
Walnut Street Theater, In PhiIadel-
, phia, to Be Torn Down, Dates
I. From the Year 1909.

The oldest playhouse in America,
which is to be replaced'in part at least
by modern structure, is the Walnut
street theater in Philadelphia, opened
in 1909. It has never missed a season
in these Ill years.
Edwin Forrest made his first regular
appearance here at the age of four
teen. getting his first start through the
influential backing Of Col. John Swift,
at one time mayor Of Philadelphia.
The play in which Forrest appeared
was Douglas" and in the cast were
Wheatley. Mrs. Williams, Joe Jeffer-
sons grandmother, and Warren and
Wood, managers Of the theater and of
the stock company. Warren and Wood
considered themselves very unfortu-
nate in the cast Of novices they had to
deal with and were greatly surprised
when Forrest acquitted himself so well
that the public expressed desire for
the plays repetition. -"E .;:,,, I
The English tragedian, Edmund
Kean, appeared at the Walnut in 1921.
During the ,16 nights Of his engage
ment the receipts ran as high as ST.
379, only once falling below $3.50. In
those days this was considered pro-
1ieious sum in theatrical circles.

GRIND OUT JUSTICE
INV limited Pressl


London, May 4 (By MaiD-Sinn
Fein in Ireland is rapidly developing
a secret judicial system which, lg-
noring the British government, dis
penses justice from the Irish view
point. q, f
For several months secret courts
have been in process Of formation IN
southern and western Ireland. Sever
al executions of alleged traitors nave
been at the doors of the Sim Fem
courts, but the vast majority OF cases
have been purely civil ones-prlncl-
pally land disputes.
The first instance OF an ordinary
civil trial was when Irish volunteers
arrested and held six men suspected
of holding up a Mill street County
Cork bank and stealing $4,000
pounds. Most of the money was re-
covered and returned to the bank.
Tremendous surprise was caused IN
ENGLAND by the arrests. Some early
reports declared the money was to
be used for Sim Fem work, but this
proved to be untrue. -" {.
Information has been received that
Sim Fem leaders plan a thorough
secret judicial system throughout Ire
land. It is expected that as the
system becomes more and more ef-
fective greater attention will be paid
to especially fragrant criminal onen-
ses, though punishment OF ordinary
offenses is difficult because OF the i'm
possibility of imprisoning convicted
persons for long periods.
Since its conception, the Sim Fem
judicial systems has handled humid
reds of civiEcases. Throughout Ire
land, the bulk of cases in courts are
land disputes - over boundaries,
rights of way and such things. Slim
Fein courts. upon application OF Htl-
giants. decide cases on evidence pre-
scented and hand down DEGREES which
are respected. Sim Feiners state
that many Of the applicants for civil
relief through the secret courts are
not members of Sim Fem.

exaitation that glimpses the infinite at work

Fear and Reason

Nothing needs the application Of reason
like fear All fear is not harmful. One
ought TO be afraid TO eat poison, or TO catch
cold. or TO stand on the railway track in
front of an advancing locomotive. Life is
preserved by such normal and intelligent
cowardce. The child's life. for instance is
made safe by his fear to touch a red hot
stove
So all the great laws Of nature have their
rearguards of terror. Every law Of the
body, Of breathing and nutrition and exer-
else; Of the mind. such as the results of
study or of idlcness; and of the soul such
rs the consequences Of love or of hate, Of
purity or of uncleanness; every one of these
laws carries with il corollary of pain and
loss. and rational people ought TO fear them.
But superstition is plain fear without any
cause, and is utterly demoraizng. If a man
Is afraid TO overeat il makes him healthy:
II he is afraid of ghosts it makes him fool.
If he is afraid TO lie or do mean act it
produces growth and makes him more
manly; II he is afraid TO be happy or to
leave the house in the morning starting off
with his left foot instead of his right, il
stunts his manhood and makes him childish.

On the ISSUE Of
Tmericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise

OF all the fool, silly, uninteigent child
ish, wicked, siclly, perlous, and abominable
mushrooms and toadstools that grow in the
garden of the human mind, premonitions
are the worst.
Psychic research and the like may do
some good (nothing, / suppose, is impos-
siblc), but a lot Of il certainly does DO
some harm We have all read those strange
instances where a wife is depressed at
p. m. on Saturday and afterwards finds out
that at that same hour her husband broke
his leg; or how friend has a horrible
dream on July and later discovers that
his friend had an ear bitten off in Wolf
vile, Ariz on the same date.
Now, If you will sponge all this dream
business and premonition disease off from
your mental slate and determine to indulge
in no fear that has no sense TO it, you will
be both happier and wiser. -
The utter uselessness Of premonitions Is
shown in this: That even if true they are
of no help; they do not fortify us to meet
calamity, but weaken us and render US
feeble to resist misfortune. And if trouble
is coming, the best way TO meet it Is with
a stout heart and brain unfogged by the
nonsense of dread.

With Love the power of Death denied.
