ence to nitrate of soda and potash, in the fertilizer line, and white lead and a number of other items, in the paint line. Chilian producers are re- ported to have large quantities of nitrates available but importers with sufficient cargo-carrying capacity to move them have not been active.
 Similarly, the purchasing of potash from producers in Alsace and ill Germany has not been as active as the producers desire or in sufficient quantities to meet the demands be- ing made by American consumers. Not long ago the German producers of potash completed preparations for the sending to the United States of an official delegation with a view to stimulating the arranging of potash contracts over long periods and for large quantities
 Manufacturers of paints and paint materials have been seeking chemi- cal materials consistently and fairly large quantities of sucn are being made available by British nanufac- turers to whona the American con- sumers are looking for future SUD- plies, which domestic producers are unable to provide. These include white lead, lithopone, blanc ike, litharge, and a long list of dry colora as well as colors in oil.-F'rom the | Worlds Markets, published from R. G. Dun & Co.

IMPORTED CHEMICALS
 IN DEMAND

The American market for chen1i- cals and dyestuffs has been handicap ped for many weeks by scarcity Of supplies of many important items and, to judge from statements of leading manufacturers, this condition cannot be overcome for many weeks, if not months, owing principally to the fact that production for long periods ahead has been sold up. In addition to this the manufacturers have been finding it increasingly diff cult to increase output by reason of the labor situation and transportation conditions-as affecting both the gathering of raw materials and the shipment of finished products.
 The resultant effect of this situa- ton has been that the market has steadily absorbed all offerings of inn ported commodities. Imports o4 chemicals and dyestuffs as a general thing have not been heavy when compared with shipments brought in before the war, but there has been a fair increase noted recently. Never theleSs, it has been recently stated that there is room for considerable expansion in this class of import bus mess.
 While imports have been readily taken up by rather eager buyers, inn porters have not been able to ob- tain goods abroad owing to somewhat of a scarcity of goods abroad. This has been especially true with regard to the so-ca1Ied heavy chemical and acid list and dyestuffs. Neverthe- less, there are some quantities of these items available from time to time and importers keeping in touch with British producers have been able to obtain quantities of caustic soda ash, copper sulphate and some other items.
 It is stated, however, that the best opportunity for importers of chemicals just at present may be said to be in the importation of feril- izer chemicals and chemicals enter ing into the manufacture of paints. Manufacturers of mixed fertilizers and of paints have been unable for a long time to obtain all of these ma terials they require q This is particularly so with refer

SOME ANSWERS
 TO THE ETERNAL 'WHY?" QUESTION

When I throw a ball into the air while walking, why does it follow me?
 When you throw a ball into the air while moving your body forward or backward, either slowly or fast the ball partakes of two motions the one upward and the forward or backward motion of your body. The ball possessed the motion of youa body befre it left your hand to go up into the air because your body was moving before you threw it up, and the ball was a part of you at the time.
 If you are moving forward up to the time you throw the ball into the air and stop as soon as you let go of the ball, it will fall at some dis tance from you. Also if you throw the ball up from a, standing position and move forward as soon as the
 ball leaves your hand the ball will fall behind you, provided you actu- ally threw it straight up.
 Of course you know that the earth Is moving many miles per hour on it's axis and that when you throw a ball straight into the air from a standing position the earth and your
 self as well as the ball move with the earth a long distance before the ball comes down again. The relative position is, however, the same. We get our sense of motion by a com parison with other objects. If you are in train that is moving swiftly ] and another train goes by in the op- posite direction moving just as fast, you seem to be going twice as fast as you really are. If the train on the other track, however, is going at the same rate of speed and in the i same direction as you are, you will appear to be standing still.
 i Going back to the ball again, you 1 will find that it always partakes of i the motion of the body holding it in 1 addition to the motion given when l it is thrown up.-From the Book of Wonders, published and copyrighted l by the Bureau of Industrial Educa- i ton, Inc, Washington, D. c.

More Going than Coming

show tha. 334,254 aliens have left this
country through the Port of New
York in the year ending June 3Otf.
The number Of incoming aliens in the
same period was S14,46s. There were
thus 1876 more outgoing than in.
coming aliens during the year.
Reports reaching here from the SO.
Wet Ukrainia tell of the opening of a
Soviet Congress at which the dele.
gates reaffirmed their loyalty to the
Soviet ideal and took pains to EN-
phasize the fact that Soviet Ukrainin
was aiding Soviet Russia in fighting
back the invading Poles. G. Rakovsky,
chairman Of the Council Of People s
Commissioners Of the Ukraine, in re.
porting on the activities Of what body,

By A. E. Mandsr,
General Secretary, National Union of
British Ex,sfrvice Men.

A conference has just been held at
Geneva which mat, prove to have
started one of the most significant
and one of the most( important move
ments of our age. 1t was-a conference
of ex.service men, cf ex-service men
from Britain, Germany, France, Italy,
and several other }eountries; con-
ference of those whb through the years
of war had been fighting each other
at the behest Of their masters and
who resolved that such state of
things should occpf "never again
Henri Barbusse dutbor of "Under
Fire''-presided. His opening address
gave the key to the whole proceedings,
"Once more we comfort one another, :"
ne said, "we who haye confronted one
another in hell" nd then he went
on to declare that 1t that conference
the ex-soldiers of Hdrope returned "to
their first essenti5 belief, belief in
their brotherhood.H HsAfter five years
of slaughter, the sviving eombatants
emerged, looked sch other in the
eyes, and recognf ID each other as
brothers. A
The government which made the
war-the governia hureaucraeies of
Europe, respondin 10 the pressure of
the financial int sts-still glare at
each other across fontiers of the ma
tions. The civiliaK peoples still bear
some of the mean td futile hate that
they had for each her while the war
continued. But th8Nmen who are ac-
tually engaged, huH6reds of thousands
of them in every Ind, stretch out to
each other the ha1 Of fellowship.
Does this seem strangeq Does it
seem inconsistent s Surely not For
while the governments and most of
the civilian people1 thought of each
other as enemies, Ahe fighting men
even while fightingS knew no enduring
hate. They were alls alike in the grir
of the war-machine, and each ono
knew that the "fellow opposite" wa'
as helpless as himself. At home the
British peoples cursed the Germans
and the German people cursed th'
people of this land But in the fightine
line British and German troops alikr
only cursed the war.
Now the war is over and the ex
soldiers of the world are determine'
that, if it be within the power O
mortal men to do, they will make i
impossible for war to come again
They dread the thought of thei
children having to pass through TIL
hell that they themselves have beel
years.
During the war they cursed tn
war But now they realize that tina
is not enough. They understand tina
it is too late to damn the swirlins
seething torrent when it is rushin
headlong to the falls, They recogniz
that if they would stop war, the
must stop it at its source.

CHAP. XII.
Her first Socialist Meeting.

In less then a week after her ar
rival at her uncle's ranch, Olive was
casting about for local socialist,
from whom she might learn just how
the cult operated, and what they
hoped to accomplish for the present
generation. With all the impetuosity
of youth, she sought for any way to
make an end of this world IS ingrained
injustice, by the sheer force of her
own idealism. Like every new convert
to the faith of the Cooperative Com
monwealth, she was convened that
she had made a great discovery, and
that all that was, now needed, was
but to go out and tell it to the
toiling masses. These she reasoned
would not hesitate to receive the
word, and 60 to work at the recon.
struetion Of society.
Her failure to impress the preacher
and the editor, and her father for
that matter, she aseribed to the fact
that they were not strictly workers
as Jack had defined workers 1t was
to their interest to oppose anything
that worked against their customary
source Of income. Her failure to i'm
press the few working people sh'
had talked to, she attributed to tn,
fact that she had not read enougl
copies Of "The Appeal To Reason.
But now all would be different. Sh,
had read not only papers but book
as well, and what she had not under
stood, Jack and Collins had mad
clear. All that was needed now wa
TO get busy in an organized way, an,
the eitadels Of evil would fall, an,
the temples of Justice arise, at tn
onward march Of the victorious Pro
letariat
She asked one Of the students VIII
was vaeationing with her uncle, II h
happened to know an honest 20 Go
socialist in that neigbborhood, and h
informed her, that there was one 4
town, who was "plum dippy" on tn
subject.
The man in question was Pete
Collingwood, who oscilated back an
forth between the practice Of Law
and his hives Of bees, in the struggl
for existence, but who was alway
firmly anchored in his political faitl
II is almost saerilege to call thi
mans faith in the ultimate trump
Of the lowly, political, for his sincel
