 New York, July 17.-( l)-A. c. Gardiner. a leading English lib- eral. has just published book called "The Anglo American Future that has attracted no little attention in America. It contains two chapters that are especially germane to the weeks developments. In one the au- thor pleads for a settlement of the Ang1o-Irish question in the Interest of. .Anglo-American harmony upon the ground that the Irish question is an American question because the Itish gre in the United States as a result of an English policy that "depopu- lated Ireland in the last century and sent a nation with bitterness in its heart across the seas"
 The other, in which an Anglo American agreement that will limit naval construction is urged, con- cludes with this passage; The an nouncement that the Anglo American peoples had taken a step which would
  ble would strike death blow to competitive ornaments generally stabilize the world on a peace basis and turn it's face confidently to the light. There will be no menace to any people, but the assurance to all that in the peace of the English speaking nations is the enduring guarantee of the peace of the world. '
 Importance of Conference
 I quote these two passages because 1t is doubtful whether the business men on either side the Atlantic have as vet commenced to sense the inn portance of the conference between Lloyd George and Valera now being held in London or the disarmament conference called for next autumn by President Harding. The details oi both these history making meetings are fully described in the newspapers They need not be repeated here.
 If, ns every one must hope, the re- suits shall be permanent tranquility In Ireland and compact between England and America that will insure the world against war the debts with which society is now burdened can soon be repaid and tho return o1 prosperity will be greatly hastened.
 Even the dull markets of mid summer seem to show subconsoious appreciation of the reconstructive statesmanshin that Is now in the as eendent. The fear that bonus bill might make q new bond issue neces' sary has been temporarily allayed bS

Excess exports
 $142,OO0, 900 s122,O0o,000 7S,2o7,56O
 The excess of imports for the fiscal year ending June 30 is $2.S52 596. 900, as compared with s2.S72. 2.41S,000 in 1920 and 34,136,562,000 in 1919, which was a record For the seven years ending June 30, 1921, the value of our merchandise exports exceeded that of imports by total of s19,69S, 900, OoO, or an average of s2,S17000,000 an nually as compared with pre- ar average of about $50o,0000oo. Must He Prepared
 We must be prepared for return to the pre-war average if the For6- ney tariff bill passes. for we cannot expect to sell if we refuse to buy Meantime and pending the passag of the bill importers will naturally try to bring in all they can in an ef- | fort to escape the higher duties i'm posed. The decline in foreign ex- | change registered during the week will also ope/ate as stimulant to imports.
 The cause of this decline is mys- | tery. The speculation in foreign eX- 1 change is enormous. Fifty million marks were bought and sold in New York in one day last week and the trade at London, Paris, Berlin anc Frankfort is probably quite as large It Is pre-eminently the gamble of the war and the influences that affec values are complex beyond the grasr of even the best informed. Whether and why sterling and the various continental currencies should go uI or down in the future no one car

and Telegraph company, in which it is announced that 2S5 900 new tele- phones were installed during the last six months, and that the telephone traffic of the system for that period was larger than in 1920 despite the slowing up in general business. On the other hand it is to be noted that the buyers strike still continues where prices have not been reduced, and that 1t is now extending itself even to such indfspensables as ice cream soda, as witness the self-denlal Of the children and mothers in the Bronx and Brooklyn in refusing any longer. to pay more than or 0 cents a glass for what has become almost staple form of food and drink in this country. As I am informed that the expenditure at the soda fountains in the United States last year was S500 O00,000. which is about the present value of the growing cotton crop, it is plain that d 50 per cent cut in the cost of sodas and sundaes has great CT economic importance than might generally be supposed.
 Railroads Doing Better
 The railroads are doing better. Car loadings for the week ended July 2 were 774,SoS. Th7~, while not as large as last year, when business still felt the stimulus of the spring boom. Is In excess of tNe more normal traf- fic of 1919, and earnings, both gross and net are now larger than in either year. It Is not, however. to be ex- pected that the roads will admit prosperity until they get all that tliey can from the government and there seems every reason to expect that they will obtain al least 500,000, 900 | in new cash shortly. Meantime rail- way stocks are steady and bonds are | gradually working higher as result | of the growing ease of money as well as of the improved condition of the transportation industry.
 | Except for the gyrations of Mex 1 ican Petroleum and fairly steady l demand for the rails" the stock market has been in the doldrums. The bears have ceased to attack it, but the hot weather has checked the development of any speculative en- | thusiasm.
 The weekly statement of the fed eral reserve banks shows an increase | of 1.6 per cent in the reserve ratio, which now stands at 6l.6 Der cent, and a further gain of s15.000,00O in the gold on hand. It is said that some of the gold recently arriving In
 New York has been put "out of sight" lest it's continued accumusa tion in the federal reserve banks might have an "inflationary effect.

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gift
of Robe That Belonged to Found
er of Methodism.

The Wesleyan Methodist Connexion
has Just received from one Of its lead
ing laymen gown that belonged to
the founder of Methodism, according
to the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1901, so that the garment
is more than 130 years old.
Time has, Of course, left its marks
upon the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material is heavy, and
upon it, worked in black, are flowers
and prancing horses. AS the great
preacher was d little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was n
preaching gown, but it Is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and,
generally speaking, 1t seems to accord
with the style of a black study-gown.
The donor Of the gown has also pre-
sented a pair of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are In good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear In his study.
Wesley, Of course, Travelled through
out Great Britain and Ireland In all
weathers on his preaching tours, and
1t was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as a protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains
large number of interesting relics of
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair of John, and presently,
as a gift from the donor of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion Of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
domlnions and the United States,
where the interest In all that relates
to the early history of Methodism is
very keen.

Most italian women n they had their
choice 20 be anything they wished in
their sex. would rather be Eve, ac-
cording 10 results of a vote recently
taken by one Of the Roman papers.
The argument advanced for being
Eve was that she. of all women, had
no competition. Her husband was
never away from home and there was
no other woman on whom he might
cast an alluring glance.
Those who did not choose TO be Eve
chose for the most part 20 be Mary
Magdalen. because, after being al
lowed TO enjoy all the sins Of the
world she was forgiven and after
ward became a saint, thereby enjoying
all ioys of heaven.

A HERO or THE WAR

The great war claimed another vic
tim here last Friday night when Med
ric M. Greer, veteran of Argonne For
est, where he was she'll shocked and
gassed, passed out on the long trail,
diving from injuries inflicted in mom-
ents of frenzy. Medric M. Greer was
lust as much hero as the man who
fell within the tragic forest itself and
his countrymen should so honor him.
The case of the young ex-service
man was particularly sad. That old
heartbroken grandfather came here
to take his boy home. only to find
him dead. The grandfather raised
Medric. The two had been comrades.
But the blow was borne as by patri-
arch. The grandfather, now retired,
was for number of years a mission
ary of the Unitarian church to Wash
ington territory.
The great war left much life wreck
age that will drift away in the next
few years. Let us be on guard that
none of it is carried out on tide 30
pitifully sad as the circumstances of
Medric Greer's death here last week.

BLACKB BIRD IN THRUSH'S NEST
Correspondent Of Scottish Newspaper
Calls Attention to Remarkable In
oident He Has Observed.

Last week l discovered in the ivy
on sunk wall in my garden a nest
which had all the characteristics of a
thrushs nest, with plastered lining
only, and which contained two eggs,
pale blue with small black spots--the
eggs of song thrush, writes a corre-
spondent. Later on / noticed a bird
sitting on the nest. Only the head
was visible, but it appeared to me
that the bird was hen blackbird and
not a thrush. 1t was some days be-
fore / found the bird Off the nest,
the plastered lining of the nest had
been slightly covered with dried
grasses, and that the nest contained
four blackblrd's eggs-bluish green
with mottled ends. The two thrush's
eggs had disappeared. They could not
be found at the foot Of the wall below
the nest, but there was found on a
green above the wall the broken egg
Of a song thrush. When l discovered
the nest part Of It's outer wall was
slightly torn, as If n cat had climbed
up the Ivy and endeavored to claw out
the bird then sitting. Is it possible
that the thrush may have been scared
away and the nest taken over by
blackblrd and ad pied to her require
ments? None of my friends, versed
In the habits Of birds, ever heard of a
similar case.-Edinburgh Scotsman.

PeopIs eenerous With Tins.

New York likes TO refer TO its
spendthrlft millionaires. The head
walter Of a magnificent eatery told me
that for the bountlful gratulty he pre-
ferred the visiting sod-buster 10 the
son Of a millionaire. The young man
from Hohokus having his annual fling
has read SO much abUut huge tips
that he thinks anything under a SO
bill viii be tossed back at him. The
information volunteered by the head
waiter came after a well-known spend
thrift had departed with two young
ladies'. His dinner check came TO S25
and he gave the waiter S2-the head
waiter nothing. And" continued the
head waiter, "see that young fellow
over there IN the green suit with a
large Adams apple. lie has been
shucklng OF S. bills TO every waiter
In the place And he gave me a half
century note. I'm afraid his keeper
will be along soon and make US give

"Buy your apples now," says a rail-
road president-but he has salary Of
$50, 900 year, Fruit Trade Journal.
We wonder how such editorial com
ment affects the grower of apples. AS
we have said on former occasions,
apple growers would not be aroused to
complaints about the comparatively
low prices of apples this season. if the
fruit would reach the ultimate CON
sumer without, apparently, the addi-
tion of too numerous high profits on
the fruit as it travels from his orchard
to the mouth of those who eat it.

How violent have been the swings
of the.pendulum in the past few years
1t seems but few months ago wher
the nation was crying for men. There
were tasks on every hand. Today one
Of the most importantsproblems is that
of finding work for the unemployed.
The situation is La by-product of the
war, one of the things Ithat has been
left in the lap of all nations. 1t has
resulted from characteristics of human
nature. Young men volunteered or
were selected by the draft rules to
fight the country's battles. If some
means could have been advised for
such draft of all the needed resources
of our county as supplement to the
volunteering of such resources. then
America would have lighted a beacon
torch of patriotism that would indeed
have flashed around the globe. We are
now paying for the greed of war days.
Capital and labor alike battIed for first
place in line to pick up profits. The
country's crisis was made an asset.
Much of the burdens of today result
from tendency to swing on to easy
times. 1t is difficult for capital or
labor to give up the desire to draw
heavy revenue. The bad habits formed
cannot be broken overnight. But co
operation between the two vital ele-
ments of industry will 90 far toward
bringing about reduction. lowering
Of prices and making available job
for every man who wants to work.

We note that barrel apples are going
to move out Of the west this year, if

initiate such a policy may find in years
