The two Congressional military
committees are considering the ques-

which many farmers stoutly oppose.
Canadian farmers resented "conscrip-

crisis. Yet it will be generally ad-
mitted that America must never re-
lapse into the defenseless state of
1914. 1t required two years to do
what Germany did in two weeks.

General Wood and other leading pre-

however viewed, it is preferable to
the creation of Il large standing army
which would entail huge expense and
make taxes Onerous.

these sales are merely substitutes for

probably close eout the last of it's

a year at most, and then government

Inquiries have been somewhat more
numerous of late from manufacturers

future. Fancy prices still prevail for
best woods. Choice fine territory or
fleece woods are very scarce. Some
wool men believe the mills must soon
begin taking medium grade woods in
fairly large amounts or curtail pro-

no uneasiness at the auction sales of

Out of all the fog Surrounding the
money question: one salient fact
merges--money is going to be tight.
1t now exercises a dominating intlu-
ence upon the market and restrains
any icipient forward movement. If
interest rates go up and money is
short, the natural effect will be to de-
press securities in rough proportion

point which speculatos and investors
consider the minimum acceptable un-

Traders are awaiting future arrivals
