WHY. America Is silent

Even II our entry into the league OF nations
might have facilitated the conclusion OF meas
ures with respect to Poland, is that any excuse
for sitting on the side lines now, for letting
the European war break into full blaze again
with no word spoken to the American people,
no leadership of American thought attempted
to bring our share OF wisdom and interest to
bear upun the new Saraievo? The answer is,
we think that suggested before. President VIII
son does not lead because he does not know
whittier to lead His is the mind to create
a formula and faith and shift to them the
solution Of a problem He has neither the train
ing nor the type OF mind to bring practical
leadership to international affalrs.-New York
Tribune.

eyed Rather Not Go
Sailing When It's Rough"

II had been the commonly eX-
pressed wish that the fifth and de-
Gliding race for the Americas cup
should be held in a whole sail breeze
which would test the capabilities Of
both yachts TO the limit. Such
breeze was obligingly provided, but
both yachts scuttled back to their
anchorages--either from a fear on
the part of the committee that they
would break up in the sea that was
running or from fear that some
members OF their respective crews
would be swept overheard from their
bulwarkless decks by green water.
This incident called forth, among
other things, n little poem in the
New York Globe. the first two stan
.zas OF which we quote herewith.
The 1920 Yachting Spirit.
We're champions OF the noble sport
OF yachting
We lead n life that's very, very
tough:
We're fearless, brave, intrepid
But we ike our wea tiier tepid.
And we'd rather not go sailing when
it's rough
We're out to elevate n sport heroic
deflled;
Each skipper IL n viking
II the sea Is to his liking,
But he hates the nasty ocean when
it's wild.
Perhaps II. I. Phillips, the author
OF this poem Ia bit hard on the
crews OF the two contending yachts,
but he has certainly succeeded In
we'll expressing the general opinion.
Very probably the racing committee
was wise under the circumstances in
calling off the race-a statement
which in no way commits us to an
approval of the circumstances.
The most interesting race which
we remember in recent years was
that in which the three-masted
schooner Atlantic won the emperor's
gold cup (which Ike so many other
things which have emanated from
the kaiser, later turned out TO be
plated) in n race across the ocean
whose name the winner bore. That
was a race that was a race, and one
that tested seamanship, construction
and design. Why cannot the Amer
ica's cup race he OF equal worth?
About all that the present races
are accomplishing is to furnish us
with an exhibition Of good sports
manship on the part of the challen-
, ger, Sir Thomas Iipton, which will
| be remembered long after Shamrock

served way to the junk dealer

THE DRY GOODS MARKET.

The current issue OF the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, official organ OF the textile trade, clearly
forecasts lower prices In dry goods In its lead
ing editorial It says;
The demand for textiles OF all kinds ap-
pears to have halted pending tho finding OF
some stimulant for business. . . . The feel
ing among buyers OF cotton goods is that
the reductions made In brown and bleachcd
cottons, and in white goods as WELL should
be followed by corresponding cuts on the
quotations on prints, percales and ging-
hams
Tho struggle against the Inevitable Is very
clearly shown In this issue OF the Economist
The agitation in for higher prices or. at most
firm prices, despite tho logic Of events. This IL
natural, too. For merchants. with their stores
fun Of stocks do not want manufacturers 20
quote prices that win force them to unload at n
loss
But tho laws OF economies know no re-
straints. The peak OF high prices has been
passed and the decline from now on for a con
siderable length OF time will be certain II not
rapid. Merchants are not buying for the simple
reason that all recognize conditions. The pub
lie has shown a determined disposition to await
lower prices before again entering the purchas-
ing market on anything like the scale that has
characterized the past three yearu.
Tho Economist calls attention to tho con-
tinued decline IN the price OF raw cotton on tho
New York exchange, and in particular TO the
carry-oyer supply OF a,OSsOoo bales. exclusive
of lnters, with the new crop, enormous in pros-
pect. already about TO move. Cotton fabrics
must Inevitably decline with the price OF raw
cotton
OF the silk market Tho Economist says:
There has been no appreclable increase
tn the call for broad silks during the last
week or so. . The total OF new business
has been almost negligible. Raw silk is in
only limited demand, with prices showing a
1 tendency TO seek now low levels
That the period of readjustment is not onl,
khete but well under way is clearly evident. i
81 good thing. BuslnesS may hesitate for
time. but wisdom on the part OF merchandising
heads win enable them 10 bring their affair
90 the new and better order without serious dis
bturbance.
