Ambassador Davis and Bonar
Law Among Those to Bid
Sir Auckland Farewell

LONDON, April 10.--Sir Auckland G.
Geddes, the new British Ambassador ia
the United States, departed to-day for
Liverpool, where he will board a liner
TOR his voyage to America. There was
large gathering at the Suston station
to see him off, among the number being
Ambassador John W. Davis and Mrs,
Davis and Andrew Bonar Law.
In a message to the press, Sir Auck-
land told of his appreciation of the
manner in which the British press had
helped him since his appointment.
THE press" he said, lis one of the
most important, perhaps the most i'm
portant, engines whereby mutual re-
spect and understanding between the
British and American people can be
maintained and developed, and whereby
thelr relations can be kept free from
misconception. In the admirable tone
of the British press I see every indi-
cation that may regard it as a power
fui ally in my efforts to promote inter
national understanding.

Nevada to Question
Moore i'm Attacking
PickfOrd Divorce
His Presence in Minden When
Papers Were Served Called
Obvious by Official Who
Files Collision Charges
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


LOS ANGELES. April TO- - Owen
Moore, former husband of Mrs. Mary
Pickford Fairbanks, will be called as a
witness in the trial of the action
brought by Leonard B. Fowler, Attor-
ney General of Nevada. to set aside
the Pickford Moore divorce decree, it
was announced to-day.
M. Fowler, who has declared that the
attack on the decree will be Launched
IN the courts next week, says that
Moore undoubtedly will be questioned
as to his reason for being in Minden,
New, where he was served with the
papers in his wife's suit.
The complaint asking that the decree
be set aside will allege that the court
had no jurisdiction, because Mrs.
Moore had no residence in Nevada,
and that Moore was brought into Ne
vada as a matter Of collision, Mr.. Fow-
Ter says.
II am not prepared to say whether
other action will be brought" said
Fowler to-day "My interest lies in
getting the decree set aside, because
the dignity of the State of Nevada is
at stake"
The action is being prepared by AS
sistant Attorney General Richards,
who conducted the investigation, and
will be filed by him next week DIT Mir
den.
"Miss Pickford first tried to explain
to the court that Moore had come to
Nevada to look for coal mine," Fow-
Ter said. "Then she changed this to a
gold mine. She explained that Moore
had first gone to Virginia City, but,
failing to find proper accommo dations,
came to Minden. Was anything ever
more obvious? Why should he come to
and why seek accommodations in that
place, when he could find plenty at
RenO?"

AS is usual under such Circumstance
es, the wholesale trade is first to see
the change; but it has already pene-
trated the field of retail business.
Whatever the special reasons for the
widely advertised reduction of 20 per
cent in merchandise by one of our
largest department stores, the fact
remains that this is the first occur
renee of exactly that kind since the
war ended. But it has not come with
out warning. It is now month ago
that reports to the Federal reserve
board from the various business dis
tricts described hesitation in orders for
the dry goods trade because of be-
lief that prices will decline;" ''fall-
ing-off luxury sales;" increasing in
disposition of the public to pay the
exorbitant prices" and ian undercur-
rent of uneasiness and uncertainty in
commercial circles" over maintenance
of the present prices. The regular

it was the everyday testimony of the
markets that reduction from that
source was far more than offset thru
the lavish purchases, first by the peo-
pie who had made great business pro-
fits in the war and in the subsequent
speculation, and next by the laboring
classes, who were spending with who'll
~ unprecedented freedom their great
" increased wages But to this there
was limit, and that limit is apparent
ly being reached.
At some point the workingman was
bound to realize that 25 or so per
cent rise in wages would in many cases
only counter-balance an equal rise in
cost of living. Once having grasped
this fact he is likely to call halt on
silk shirt and Oxford-tie expenditure.
As for the newly made man of wealth
there are in the nature of the case
some bounds to what he can use. His
second years purchases of ordinary
necessities will never equal his first
years outlay; and when, as has been
true in every period of extravagant
living, great part of the spend
thrift purchasers have been spending
borrowed money, the time will sooner
or later come when their credit fails.
This last consideration cannot be ov-
er looked, at moment when the posi-
ton of the market for credit has
reached, as a consequence of the ex-
travagant buying, promotion and spe-
culation of the past twelve months,
state of stringency not often witness
ed in this country. The excessively
high rates, not only for money loaned
on security but for ordinary mer-
chants discount, operate indeed in two
directions; not only through checking
the speculative consumer, but through
inspiring the producer and the mer-
chant to sell their goods at the earli-
est moment and at the best prices OBJ
tainable, rather than to hold them on
borrowed money to take full advant-
age of favorable market. These are
without any question the dominant
elements of the existing situation.
How far-reaching their effect will be
on prices, with the factor of labor at
work in all industries and the factor
of law production. at work in many, is
another observation-disclosures in the
New York Evening Post.
