London, June 1s.-H. Gordon
Selfridge. American merchant, who
retired from business in Chicago
and founded one of the largest de-
partment stores In London. fore
sees a great change in world mar
kets due to decline in prices both
here and abroad.
Replying to a Questionable sub
mitted by the Public Ledger foreign
service, Mr.. Selfridge said while he
Is not apprehensive of either
panic or collapse in commerce, he
does believe "the. very easy times
makers and sellers of merchandise
have had all over the world In the
last four or five years approach an
end"
1Buyers' Market Coming.
1--WE shall before long" Mr.. Self
ridge wrote, reach that more nor
NAL period when the seller courts
the buyer and finds himself obliged
to work energetically to dispose of
his goods instead of sitting in his
office to receive buyers who beg to
be favored with a part. at least, OF
requirements. We have had sell
lers' market and we are before long
going to have buyers market.
II look for a general decline IN
most classes Of merchandise and see
no reason why those lower prices
should later be stiffened.
The fact Is often neglected, in
thinking OF costs of merchandise,
that a very large part of costs Is
money paid for labor"
stores stocked Too Full.
Asked concerning conditions in
wholesale houses and big distribu-
ting concerns. Mr.. Selfridge replied:
Il believe virtually every depart
ment in every house, wholesale and
retail, in Great Britain is fully
stocked. We have all listened for
several years to prophecies of those
who had stuff to sell and who in
sisted that IL we did not buy at
once we would not be able to get
II later. so that almost every house
in Great Britain has filled its
shelves too full and is not prepared
to take advantage of offers which
may come, just as a man who nils
his plate completely finds himself
unable to take a bunch of grapes
when offered TO him."

Brussels, June 1s.-The scream Of
factory sirens and the happy laugh
ter Of the people are driving the
echoes of the war from the heart Of
Belgium.
This is the Land That Has Come
Back"
People Are Happy.
Cross the Belgian frontier and you
are in a country of milk and honey
and among a people happy in indus
try and merry at play.
Belgium is recovering more rap
idly than any other European ma
ton from the effects of war. She
is fast regaining the place she held
in 1914.
This city is brilliant with electric
light Larger. better locomotives
draw Belgian trains than any others
on the continent. There are dining
cars and they serve good food.
Farmers Prosperous.
The fields through which you pass
are better kept and the farmers are
busy. Milk. eggs and butter are
plentiful.
The famous Belgian candymakers
have re-opened their shops and
Brussels streets are llneo Win can
dy and pastry shops.
The women's shops are hlled with
the loveliest fabrics and the smart
est and prettiest hats. They are
selling them, too.
Soup Kitchens Gone.
I visited a general store here, not
one that caters to the wealthy.
The prize delicacies of the world
were there-fresh fruits of every
cline. great blushing red sausages
of queer name and cheeses of
queerer shapes and much queerer
odors.
The American soup kitchen lives
in memory only.
The streets at nights are thronged
with crowds of well dressed laugh
ing people.
Behind these gay things are the
gray wheels of industry.
Railroads Rebuilt.
When the Germans left Belgium
they left chaos. The two things a
country must have to be prosperous
were missing-transport and
fuel
State engineers and army engi-
neers pitched in to rebuild and now
hardly a red line that means a
railway destroyed is left on the

Paris, June 1s.-Alleged amazing
powers of a seventeen-year-old Irish
girl of Belfast. Mollie OConner'
have brought to a crest the wave
of public interest in psychic phe-
nomena throughout France.
The girls alleged ability to levi
tate" objects without apparent con-
tact was first discovered by a DR..
Crawford, of Belfast. 1t was brought
to the attention of the General Psy-
Geological Institute by Professor
Bertrand.
A special meeting of the institute
has been held in the amphitheatre
of the School of Medicine of the
College of France to examine into
the abilities Of Mollie O'Conner.
Investigators observed, according
to Professor Bertrand. that the girl
could lift. without contact. weight
of several Kilograms from the
ground to the height of her head ;
but that the accompaniment of 1
feeble red light seemed to be es-
sential.
Strong white or blue light was
said to have interfered with the sue
cess of the experiment. When, un-
known TO the girl, magnesium pow
der was brought into the expert
mental chamber for the purpose OF
taking photograph, she became
nervous and could not proceed, Bert
rand says.
Another experiment. hailed as sue
cessful by Bertrand, consisted of
placing the girl on a scale and re-
questing her to lift a weight fou'
feet distant. When she did so, the
scales on which she stood registereC
an increase exactly equal to the
weight of the object levitated.

Women Fight
Marriage Ban
For Teachers
Schoolma ms Near to Hair
Pulling Episodes at
Convention.
Especial Gable to The Her.Id.)


Bath. England. June 1s.-British
National Federation of Women
Teachers at their annual convention
last week demanded from the I'm
perial Board of Education the re-
Imoval at once OF all objections to
teachers continuing in their Jobs
after they are married.
With the country crying for
teachers, the women claim, educa-
tional authorities continue their
policy of allowing a teacher to
marry only under extraordinary cir
cumstances.
Miss Phipps, national secretary,
declared her loathing of the ex-
preston kept by her husband"
which occurs in the British law re-
garding teachers. 1t is economic
dependence on husbands, fathers.
brothers and brothers-in-law, she
declared. which is at the root OF the
whole degradation of women in
England.
The schoolma'ams staged a snappy
scrap over the marriage resolution
and almost resorted to hair-pulling
on several occasions.
, The more conservative element
maintained that a woman with a
home and family could not spend
time in a schoolroom without break
ling up her domestic life.
Others insisted that a married
woman was under no more oblfga-
tions than a married man to re-
frain from any other occupation.
They-said that home making was
not a vocation but a side line.
The resolution finally was passed
amid the cheers of the assembly
and will be put before the Imperial
Board at the earliest possible op-
portunity.

Especial Cable to The Herald.)
London. June 19.-There are
twenty-six direct charges of i'm
morality. all OF them unsupported
by sound evidence. against Queen
Elizabeth of England. These in
clude allegations of amours with
Dudley. the French Prince d'Alen-
con. Leicester. Hatton and others.
Eight of the twenty-six charges
were merely the gossip of drunken
louts.
Ten others can be accounted for
on various grounds. including the
fact that the queen suffered from
dropsy.
One of them arises from the ia
nous scandal letter" said to have
been written by Mary Stuart to
Elizabeth. retailing accusations sup
posed to have been made by the
Countess of Shrewsbury.
The letter contained the statement
that "one had many times visited
your chamber at night" coupled her
name with that of a French prince,
and said she would never marry so
that she might be free to love.
Even II this letter were authentic,
the writer twice said she did not
believe in the charge il contained. -

ART VICE CURE

Says Municipal Symphony
Concert Would Result
In Lower Taxes.
Cwashington HeraId-Cross Atlantic

(WashinEton Herald-Cross Atlantic
Service. Special Cable Dispatch.)
London. June 19.--Repression OF
the human impulses of young men
and women is futile as a preven-
tive of immortality. Nature pro-
vides the real remedy" George
Bernard Shaw declared here in a
public address before the British
Musical Society.
If municipalities really want to
raise the morals of a district, they
must remember that the communi-
ty consist very largely of young
people growing up.
Puritanism Protested.
"At-a certain period of their lives
when they begin to take more gem
eral interest in human relations,
and before they can afford to get
married, there is no use pursuing
q policy of puritanism-a policy OF
strict repression of their human
impulses.
There must be an outlet for
ly in the art of music. II young
men had music and pictures to in
terest them, to engage and satisfy
many of their impulses. and to en-
liven their days, they would not go
TO the low pleasures of the streets;
they would have an alternative,
and would be too fastidious to do
So"
Shaw urged popularization of
music whereunder every munich
pality would maintain "a compe-
tent symphony orchestra so that no
child in the country should be
brought up without having access
to the best music"
Would Lower Taxes
1T is matter of public impor-
tance," Shaw continued. Towns
would be healthier and public tax
-es lower if they had an abundant
and generous provision for art.
Vice leads to drunkenness and deg
radiation of character, which is not
only loss to the community, but
contributes materially to high
taxes. II that were explained to
tax payers who oppose municipal
enterprises through fear of higher
taxes. 1 think they would be per-
suaded that in the long run public
ly-subsidized music would be not
an extravaganza but an economy"
