basis for lower prices at this time,

Americas merchants who inaugu-

all we'll pleased with the increased
business created, and practically all
of them are of the opinion that the
buying public is ready to absorb a
vast quantity of goods in the imme-
~diate future.
The trade has been waiting for the
expected "break" for so many
months, one merchant said, until
their closets are as bare as some of
us were led to believe were shelves
in Europe just before the end of the
war Prices, however, show little
tendency toward permanent lower
levels and the buying public, recog-
nizing this fact, have been quick to
avail themselves of the reductions of
fered by the several Americus cloth
ing and dry goods concerns this week.
Goods are being sold this week at
prices much below those at which
they could be replaced, but the mer-
chants all say they are determined to
hasten the "break" which all assert

TOO MANY HOLIDAYS

London, April S.-The Russian
soviet government has threatened
to put the workshops of the north
ern railways under martial law to
put an end to what it calls the
"crime" of the workers in wasting
time in holiday making, according
to a wireless from Moscow. The
government asserts that 1000
working days were thus lost IN
one month and that "the railway
men are arranging to have two
days of idleness each week at a
time when millions of people are
hungering and when 1t is impossi-
BILE to transport bread, owing to
lack of railway engines" 1t notifies
the idlers that they will either have
to make up for the time ''of which
the republic has been robbed" or
receive full penalty under martial
law.
The message issued by the gov
eminent is headed shame COM
rades," and declares that Russia
cannot await salvation from for
eigners but must fight her own in
ternal blockade in order to lend
the ruinous condition of things,
conquer hunger and save the So
Wet renmhlic."
