 The upward trend in real
 estate values is now well under way all over the United States. During the past week we have received answers to our inquiries ad- dressed to leading real estate men throughout the country regarding conditions existing in their vicinities.
 Without exception all of
 these replies report that the trend of realty prices is up- ward and that there is al- ready a marked increase re- gently in inquiries and in sales of all classes of real estate.
 In all cities where the weather permits, reports are to the effect that plans are now being made for much building of homes and busi- ness houses in the early spring, and further north where building operations cannot commence for some weeks, reports are that in 1uiries for vacant property suitable for home building is increasing rapidly.
 All of these cities have been affected much more by the period of deflation and re- adjustment than Birming- ham. We have passed through with nothing more serious than a halt in activ- ity so that all business might adjust itself to the changed conditions. Birmingham has not suffered as other cities. Inquiries for vacant property ,n which to build homes have i been brisk for the past week. The rush of preparation for home building is beginning. Get your lot now while the prices are at pre-war levels for the supply of improved property is so limited that we 1 are convinced an advance is
 certain early in the spring. :. Reliable reports from the ! lumber and other material 1 dealers are to the effect that the bottom has already been reached and that the heavy orders now coming in from all parts of the country in anticipation of spring build ing assures that the already l slight advance in prices be- ing quoted for future deliv- orv will be further increased
 as the season progresses. Buy your lot now while the l prices are down and build l with materials bought at the bottom of the market. When the present supply on hand is exhausted, an increase is inevitable.

RARITAN, N. j.. July President

sIend the Fourth of July at the home
of Senator Frelinghuysen, today
awaited the arrival of special mes
senger from Washington bearing the
Knox-Porter resolution esta blishins
peace between this country and Ger

This resolution was adopted by the
Senate yesterday afternoon. and word
was received from Washington that
special courier would leave the
Capital for Raritan early this morn

1t was expected that the President
would allow no delay. but would sign
the resolution Immediately, so that
a proclamation of peace could be is

The President and Mrs. Harding ar

LEN|N WILL FREE
8 LITTLE STATES
IN THE CAUCASUS
Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan,
To Be Cast OF by Soviet AZ
Political Startegy.
BY HARRY L. ROGERS.
Intern attonai News Service.

H
Nicolai Lenin and other Soviet
leaders have determined to grant in
dependence to Armenia, Azerbaijan,
and Georgia, and will allow those
States to set up any sort of repub-
lican government they may see fit
according to reports reaching here
today.
There is'also reason 20 believe that
other considerable portions of the
former Russian empire will be allow
ed to split off into independent stat,s.
and that the Bolshevist premier In
tends to withdraw with his followers
into a comparatively small terrific y
surrounding MOSCOW and PetrograL
Announcement OF this change in
policy is contained in q speech re-,
Gently delivered by the Soviet ieaie-
In Moscow, copies of which have just
reached here.
Pointing out the need OF Soviet
Russia for buffer states similar to
Latvia, Esthonia, and Lithuania along
| it's borders, Lenin intimated that Ar.
menis, Georgia, anG AzerbaiJan wou'i
be of vastly more benefit 70 Ruseia II
they were 'indeoen6ent republics"
able TO carry on "cmmerct relations
with the outside world.
He congratulated those states upon
the development OF commerc' win
the United States and Italy, and indt-
Gated that with Independence this
commerce could be greatly increase !.
The three indepe ldent Baltic states
had been invaluable to Soviet Russ'G,
he said, as go-betweens in it's reia-
tions with the world, but these state J
were not sufficient.
HAVE VARIED INTERESTS.
The interests of the three Csu-
| casian States were different from
those OF Soviet Russia, the Bolshevist
leader said, and for this reason 1t
would not be necessary for them to
adopt the Soviet institutions when
they became independent republics
Naturally, however, Soviet Russia
would expect to maintain friendly re-
Istions with those States and would
doubtless benefit greatly thereby.
The Caucasian States are now de-
Tendencies of Soviet Russia, having a
soviet form Of government. which is
maintained by a force OF Soviet troops
numbering from twenty to thirty
Thousand. There are also some 10000
Turkish. Nationalist troops at Kars
and Alexandropol, which, under the
terms OF the treaty signed between
Soviet Russia and Turkey In March,
are retained by the Turks. Erivan
and Ardgsn were also left under
Turkish Nationalist control, but Ba-
tum went TO Soviet Russia.
Before the war. this territory fur
nished more than 20 per cent of
Russia's total output of copper and
large part of its oil production.
while today both these industries
have fallen practically TO nothing.
As Independent republics, these
states could again attract foreign
capital. their copper and petroleum
industries would be developed, and
In their prosperity they would form
excellent neighbors for Soviet Russia
from commercial point OF view.

company.
Today that watered stock Is prac-
tically worthless. IL has no market
value. Six and half million dol
lars OF II exists, but the people who
have II can't sell IL at any price.
The earning capacity OF the street
car company has been exhausted. and
still there's no money with which to
pay dividends on that watered stock,
and thereby make IL worth something.
That's the reason for the strenuous
plea for higher electric light rates.
and for merger of the light company
with the power company
Just now there's a good deal OF
argument for merger for the power
and street car companies. accom-
panied by the assurance that the
Public Utilities Commission could
still regulate electric light rates. even
after the merger.
Let's 60 back only a year. when
the railway company specifically re-
quested an increase in light rates
and frankly stated that IL was de-
sired as one way to increase the
revenues of the railway company.
Now IL Is proposed that the pow

HISTORY BREEDS SUSPICION.
Bear that in mind when you con-

justines all people in looking upon

tests to the contrary. u will be
harder for the commission TO deal

enough as IL is.
All this Is entirely aside from the
moral and economic principle in

The power company should stand
on it's own feet, producing the best
possible electric service to people
who want II at the best possible

And the street car company should
