Hon. William j. Bryan Agani
Puts Himself on Guard. I

Hon, William ]. Bryan has again
mounted the ramparts. In the Last
number of his Commoner, he makes
call on every State that elects q
United States Senator next year,
and on every congregational district,
| to select a clean and courageous pro-
gressive Democrat who is willing to
become candidate. "Most of the
Democrats now. serving in the Sen.
ate and House," he says, care doing
well and should be reelected, but
the records of all should be examined
He put on the blacklist first of al
"any representative Of Wall Street,S
and as matter of course, no wet:
need apply. He declares that PIE ths
Democratic party ''has nothing tg
hope for from the predatory inteEls'
ests, from the liquor interests and
from the underworld" #;
It. is evident that the Charlotte
Observer dos not like these remarks
/ by Colonel Bryan's declarations
"some people yet living who were
voting the Democratic ticket for the
good of the nation before Colonel
Bryan was eyer heard of, and who
never knew that the predatory inter;
lest, the liquor interests and the
underworld ever had hand in lts
party affairs. We believe the Ma,
tional Democratic party had aprett
clean record under Tilden, and from
his time through that of Cleveland
and Wilson. Perhaps Colonel Bryan
is not so much lacking in faith ins
party integrity as he is suspicious
of any management in which he does
not play the leading hand" IS
Of course that which Colonel Bryss
an advocates is proper, and his count
sci is fine, and ,ausJ commend itself
to every one. But the intimations!s q he &
summons to stress his advice are
far-fetched. The Democratic party
has not been in league with the bad sd
influence she cries. 1t was not "a "a

The Matter of Courtesy.

Postmaster general Hays says that
every employee of the Post Office
Department must be courteous in the
performance of his duties. He has
issued an order requiring courtesy
from every worker in the nations
great postal service. Mr.. Hays has
issued MANY good orders since he
has been in office, but no order has
been more commendable than this.
It would be good thing if every
department chief in the government
would issue such an order. Many
holders of government positions for
get that they are but servants of the
people.
There is little doubt that the ma
jofity of letter carriers are cour-
teous, indeed they have been noted
for their politeness and willingness
to accommodate citizens at all times
and in any possible manner. Mr..
Hays probably feels that workers
in other branches of the postal ser
vice need this order far more than
the mail carriers, and no doubt they
do.
The manners of many of the en-
ployees of private corporations are
unbearable. Heads of great business
concerns should realize that it does
not pay to have discourteous work
ers upon their payrolls.
The public is getting tired of the
insolence of the employees of cor
porations. A railroad employe who
has i'll manners hurts the corporation
that pays him his weekly salary.
A man can be a gentleman in any
position in life, and man who con-
ducts himself as a gentleman can
not fail to reflect credit upon him
self and upon his employer. A letter
carrier may honor his uniform by
handing you your letter in a gen.
tlemanly manner or he may dishonor
his position by acting like a boor.
A railroad employe may conduct
himself likewise in his dealings with
passengers but he cannot fail to in
jure the company he serves. A po-

One of my company passed by
while l was behind the oak with. a
ball shot through his right lung. He
asked me to help him. told him I +,
was little fellow and ne was a.
large man and I could not toat him.
He asked me to walk by his side and
let him lean on me. I did so and it
took about two hours to get him back
to the field hospital. He would go a
few steps and stop for breath and
rest. I could hear the blood rafting.
in him every breath and I thought
sure he would die before l could get
him to the hospital. When we reach

Big Business With Germany.

HgFr - I
Washington, Aug. 26.-With the.
signing of the treaty Of, peace with
Germany, preparations for the re-.
sumption of complete trade and diplo-
matte relations with Germany will
soon be under way in the various
government departments.
Although the treaty will not be-
come effective until after the ex-
change of ratifications by the Sem
ate and the German reichstag, prob
ably in October, plans will be made
so that the resumption machinery
can start up Immediately. q
In many respects the enactment of
the peace treaty will be little more
than formality. Through the re-.
peal of various wartime measures,
including parts of the trading with
the enemy act, commerce between
the United States and Germany has
gradually been taken up again. The.
state of war being only technical, the
way was clear for the exchange of
goods until it was recently revealed
that Americas foreign commerce
with the former enemy during the
first six months of the present year
wss larger than it was in the first
six months Of the year preceding the
outbreak Of the European war.
With the treaty of peace in effect,
however, it will be possible to take
advantage of the various means to
facilitate this trade. Commercial at
taches and trade. commissioners will
be appointed and assigned to every
part of Germany.
Reunption of diplomatic relations
will be less of a mere formality, now
ever. As soon as the ratifications are
exchanged and President Harding's
peace proclamation is issued, an,bas-
sadors will be exchanged, along
with consuls and other state depart
ment agents. z U.

Leads Construction
Work i'm Many States
$82,982,OO0 Wortl, Of Res
licences Under Way in
Northeast Section; Lndi-
Gallon Is for More Houses

Construction activity in May, accord
ing to figures published by the f. W.
Dodge Company, vas 9h per cent great
er than in April. Contracts awarded
in the twenty-sevcn Northeastern
States of the country during May
amounted to s242,oe3,ooO, compared
with 1920, $4,000 in April.
The increase in activity would have
been greater except for widespread la
Dor troubles. In New England and
throughout the Middle West, where
wage disputes have been pretty general,
building activity kept up during May
at about the same rate MS in April.
Substantial increases in activity were
reported in the territory along the At
lantic Coast from New York to South
Carolina.
Residential building continues to lead
all other classes. In May contracts
for this class of construction amount
ed to $S2,982,000, or "a per cent of the
total. Public works and utilities
amounted to $64,999,0 900, or 81 per cent
of the total; business buildings, $29,-
494,O0D, or II per cent of the total;
CUoSd tIoAdi DuitulHSS pH4,4OL,uUU, or lU
per cent of the total; Industrial build
ings, $20,404,000, or per cent of the
total.
Building activity of the first five
months of the year compares very ia
vorably with the same period of pre-
vious years. The total investment rep
resented by building contracts let from
January l to June l has amounted to
$3.50, $4,000. AT the end of January
activity from the first of the year to
date was per cent behind the average
for the preceding five years; at the end
OF February, II per cent behind; at
the end Of March, per cent behind;
at the end of April, per cent ahead !;
at the end of May, II per cent ahead,
The demand for new construction
still continues strong. Contemplated
new work was reported in May to the
amount of s462,7s5, 900, which is Is per
cent greater than the amount reported
in April.
During the first five months of the
year more than two billion dollars in
contemplated new work has been re-
ported. This is considerably more
than double the amount of contracts
awarded and indicates the pressure of
the demand for construction. 1t is
to be hoped that the labor disputes n ow
in evidence will Observation-Disclosures
that the summer months may witness
substantial increase in activity.

ld Comment Of City and Suburban Real Estate Field
anks Are 10 20 Into Action Once Morein War Zone
vt france In Answer to Urgent Call for Home Builders

The Yanks are coming! will be hear
again in France. This time the slogan
VIII refer to the coming of men of peace
rather than men of war. At the invita-
ton Of the French government Ameri-
can home builders are going to France
to rehabilitate the war area, which is
still a great stretch Of ruins and debris.
With the exception of the roads, which
have been made passable, and the frame
buildings erected to house the homeless
IN this section, the territory is in the
same condition as when the Germans
retreated.
The American way of construction has
impressed the French. 1t combines
sreed and efficiency, which are the fac
tors that mean the most to the nation
which wishes to reclaim as rapidly as
possible this wonderfully rich agricul-
tural section, over which the World
War was fought. Two years ago a COM
mission came here from over there to
see how things were done. They Wis
leed other countries also and took note
of things.
The Yanks are going to France to
build hundreds and hundreds Of houses
similar in general way to many small
American homes.
Alphabetically they will be French,
as only houses of this design would fit
the landscape, the traditions and Gus
toms Of the country. The interior of
the homes will be planned or arranged
much like those in America, and they
will be fitted with conveniences that
are known much better to American
housewives perhaps than to the women
of rural France.
AS result of the wonderful demon
sstration made at Tourcoing, which ad-
joins Lille, last February, following an
exhibition of small house models in
Paris, construction has been starte d

Promises New High Mark
Mrs. E. Nadelman Is to Exten'

Percy Il. PAYNE Home

The advancing summer season has
seemingly given an impetus to TRANSACT
tions in the Riverdale section, espe-
cially at Fieldston, where 1921 bids
fair to Guido the high mark set in 1920:
Two recent sales through the Office of
George Howe are interesting, one of
these the home OF the late Percy R.
Pyne, at one time president of the
National City Bank. The property sold
to Mrs. Nadelman comprises sixteen
acres. 1t will be extensively remod-
eled and occupied by Mrs. Nadelman,
whose husband is q sculptor. F. e.
Roberts was the associate broker in
this sale.
The other concerns the purchase by
George Matthew Adams, writer, presi-
dent of the George Matthews Adams
Service, who purchased from F. O..
Zenke, cotton broker, his English brick
residence, corner of 24eth Street and
Livingston Avenue. in Fieldston. The
exterior views of the house, as we'll AS
it's other architectural merits, have
been frequently illustrated in the maya
zines, and the landscape setting ap-
proximates as nearly as possible the
English type of home, from which the
architect, James Dwight Baum, drew
his inspiration.
