STOCKS IMPROVE,

Decision of Railway Board
Gives Impetus to Lag
ging Trading

NEW YORK. April ij.--The stock
market was active and strong to-
day, suddenly reversing its position
Of previous days as result of cumu-
n,No developments OF highly en-
c0uraginR character.
Chief among these was the de-
as.un of the United States railway
labor board abrogating the contracts
entered into by the federal admins
,rauon. This leaves the transporta-
,|or companies free to deal indi-
yiduai.y with their employees and not
with tho labor organizations
Domestic Industrial advices were
mixed. but constructive In the main.
Tendencies toward trade stabiliza-
ION were furnished by additional
,rIco cuts IN steel and iron products
announced by one Of the United
atates steel subsidiaries and several
of the Independent producers.
Heavy selling for profits failed to
impair prices the list being at Its
best in the last hour. Leading rails
made net gains Of to almost 3
r1.0ts. while oils, steels, equipments
and Tcldled hptCIdiIeS reblhlcIed au-
y3rgos Of . TO u points. Sales.
100000 shares.
Domestic money rates were again
unchanged but remittances to Europe
hardened, the only exception being
the Italian rate which forfeited part
OF It's recent rise. Both Argentine
and chilean rates were at new low
records, reflecting more unsettlinE
trads conditions in those countries.
Bonds were dull and benefited
only slightly by tho days news.
Liberty issues, fractions and some Of
@le foreign groups made moderate
rains Total sales, par value, were
tQqT5.OOO.

received OF the formation Of the Ger
man-Russian Transport Company,
in which the Hamburg American
Line, the banking house of Warburg,
the krupps, the Vulkan Works. of
Hamburg, and other big German in
dustrial concerns are reported in
terested. Says leading German
banker: "Our natural proximity to
Russia and our intimate acquaint-
ance with Russian character, accu-
mulated during extensive pre-war
activities there, entirely qualify us
actively to share in the Forthcoming
work of reconstruction"
Is Professor Munsterberg's proph-
ecy of close German Russian al
lance, after all, going to come true?
If so, and if at some later date
Japan joins it, what alternative to
defensive and offensive alliance
among the western European powers
and the United States can be pro-
posed as safety measure?

Matrimony and Golf

A Chicago married couple have
brought their differences into court
because of golf. The wife, it appears,
bought her husband some new clubs.
"For some reason" she said, "this
made him very angry. He was so
mad for minute that he couldn't
say a word" A sad thing about
married life--that what is SO evil
dent to outsiders is often SO inex-
plicable to insiders. Here is wo~
man who can't understand why her
husband became incensed because
she selected his golf clubs. And yet,
in general, every husband knows.
TO say Of man that he is the sort
who lets his wife buy his golf clubs
can detraction go further?
But perhaps this plaintiffs blind
ness is the symptom of deeper
defect. Interference is probably the
cause Of more marital difficulty than
any other. At one time the rule was
"Feed the beast" Now it should be
Let him alone"

easy chair, and the visitor enjoying an
aroma of high grade cigarette slowly
circulating in tbs Office, crossed legs,
leaning heavily on the back, quite at
ease, would exchange their views upon
the present topics. And in the finish
they would pleasantly conclude trans
actions to their mutual advantages
so smoothly, so naturally.
Should it be a big business, there
may be a glass or two of light refresh
ments, and no shout, no rush.
After luncheon, over coffee and
pipes, little games of domino or
draught would serve great deal to
the relief of those who are more or
less affected by the worrying of outer
world. All clerks and typists are very
humane; you would not expect any
proud and conceited gestures accom-
panied by rather sentry-like remark.
What do you want But, prompt re-
sponse and cheerful countenances,
"Very good, sir"
The life in the City may be slow,
but 1t is very well managed and "sure
thing" as the transatlantic friends
would ssy.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-29
Ciolisti

The great and wholesome change
that has come to Italy in a year,
change that pluoked her back from
the verge of an abyss, is shown by
the resignation of the Giolitti Minis
try, Parliamentary usage did not
require it to quit, for it had just re-
ceived vote of confidence in the
Italian Chamber. But the majority
was small and, the critical period
having passed, the Prime Minister
did not think duty required him to
stay and turned over his work to a
younger man.
During the war distrust of Giolitti
existed both within and without
Italy. He had opposed Italy's entry
into the war and was rated a pro-
German. He was also Objectionable
to the Socialists of Italy because of
his close connection with large busi-
ness interests. Indeed, the influence
that put him into power when the
Nitti Ministry became fatally en-
tangled by the Fiume issue came
from those who wanted Strong"
man in control who would stand no
foolishness from the Reds.
But in office Giolitti changed
about. If he has leaned toward Ger
many the fact has not been appar-
ent; and when the Italian labor con-
vulsions came he forced settlement
that enraged Italian bankers and
business men. Finally, as to Fiume
he adopted the Nitti policy and put
it through.
SO Giolitti is of different odor than
ne was, and has gained standing as
an opportunist statesman of the first
rank.
The motion Of no confidence was
supported by miscellaneous elements
which can scarcely pin a ministry to-
gether. In any event the Liberal
Democrats, Giolitti's party, seem es-
sential to make up a government
bloc. So Giolitti, although in retire
ment, promises to have the greatest
pleasure that can come to aging
statesmanship-that is, a position
behind the scenes as a much con
suited sage.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-29
Ksthetic PugiIism

Yesterdays dispatches from France
indicate that the forthcoming fight
is smothering all other topics of con-
versation. The sporting papers it
appears, are warning their readers
against "overeonfidence based on SEN
timental loyalty" Sentiment is no
doubt counting lot in the enthusi-
asm of Carpenters countrymen.
Also, they have faith in him as a
type Of what they understand best
art. We hear a good deal about the
"science" which he is expected to
bring into play against Dempsey's
heavier weight. 1t could not be ex-
pected to make even showing in the
ring if it hadn't behind it the artis-
tic temperament. five were bet
ting on Carpenter it would be not
on his science but on the sheer ar
tlstlc instinct directing it, an instinct
as primitive--with a Frenchman-
az the gorilla-like impulse of the
cave man.
The artist has always been pug
naclous, quick to use his fists and to
watch other men using theirs. You
will find him in force at any great
bout. He has always dilated upon
the beauty of the athletic body in it's
most dramatic form of action. In
one of the countless groups lately
occupied in discussion Of the great
subject the name Of Dominick Nc
Caffrey came up. The man most
vivid in his recollections of that
doughty Individual was painter of
pictures that are nothing if not po-
etic. With wistful appreciation he
recalled the old pug's figure and
lovely "style."
Next Saturday, probably for the
first time in the history of the ring,
artists will have the opportunity to
observe one of themselves going into
battle. The artist in Carpenter ex-
plains why there are SO many in his
following who, though good Ameri-
cans, do not want to see him beaten.
They hate to see beautiful ma
chine, beautifully functioning, sent
to the scrap heap. That hurts. In
wlncing at the idea those who are in
sympathy with him are confessing
their attrikmtion to him of some
thing of the French genius, some
thing Of that clear thinking, organ
izing habit of mind which does 40
much to enrich the world. Fight

Germany in Russia

The late Professor Hugo Minister
berg, long German leader in this
country, made speech in May,
1916, said to have had the approval
Of Count Won Bernstorff, in which
he warned America that Russia was
collapsing and that her collapse
would be followed by a German
Russian alliance, later probably
joined by Japan.
Since the arnlistice there have
been frequent rumors of German
russian alliance. Last year it
seemed not impossible that Germany
would join the Soviets in their at
tack on Poland and then defy
the Allies. AS early as March,
1919, American observers in GEN.
tral Europe were told that several
hundred thousand Germans were
scattered throughout Russia in the
Bolshevik armies and governmental
bureaus. Since then German eco
nomic agents have been busy in
Russia.
Granting the probable exaggera-
ton In these reports, and admitting
that the German government NAV
not have followed consistent plan.
these facts remain:
!, Germany has long sought for
the economic domination of Russia.
2. Germany and Russia both have
much to gain from an alliance
Russia has raw materials and Ger
many has technical skill and manu-
factured products.
"a German-Russian alliance would
bring together more than half the
population of Continental Europe
and would facilitate Germanv's
escape from the terms of the Yer
sailles Treaty.
And now comes the news that
Professor Wiedenfeld, chief of the
Bureau Of Foreign Trade Of the
German Foreign Office, has been an
pointed head of the German trade
delegation to Moscow in connection
with the German-Russian trads al

Charles Joseph Bonaparte

Charles Joseph Bonaparte was for
years one of the leading citizens of
Maryland. He never was elected to
a local office, nor was he very closely
identified with the Maryland Repub-
llcan organization, but his fellow
citizens held him in such esteem
that when he headed the list of Re-
publican Presidential electors in
1904 he received enough votes to
make him the only Republican
elector chosen in Democratic
state.
Always a devoted follower of
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, Mr.. Ronaparte
served in his Cabinet, first as Secre-
'afy OF the Navy and then as Attor-
ney General, from July /, 1905, to
March 5, 1909. In 1912 he fol-
lowed the Colonel into the Progress
sive party.
Mr.. Bonaparte's high sense of
public duty led him to take a keen
interest in civic and educational
activities. For twelve years he was
member of the board of overseers
ofharvard University, and he was
trustee OF the Catholic University
of America from 1904 until the
time of his death. He also served
in the National Civil Service Re-
form League and on the advisory
board Of the Council of National
Befense.
s Mr. Bonaparte's connection with
the family of Napoleon, who was
his grandfather's brother, naturally
made him subject of interest
here and abroad. Except Napo-
Icon III, whose prominence was due
largely to the magic of the name,
the former Attorney General was
the only member of the Bonaparte
family since the days of the great
fnap@ror to attain a positionsof i'm
portaRce. AS q member of Presi-
seat RooseYalt's Cabinet he served

Heroes OF the scaIpeE

A few days ago DR.. j. II. Hart
well, surgeon, of Philadelphia, was
operating upon patient for appen-
dicitis. He inflicted a slight cat
upon his own hand. He realized his
deadly peril and the alternative be-
fore him.
He could suspend the operation for
few moments, thereby increasing
the danger to the life Of his patient,
or he could postpone the treatment
of his own wound. He did not hest
tate. He chose duty to his patient
rather than safety for himself. He
completed the operation successfully,
and his patient made fine recovery,
but he himself died week later
from blood poisoning.
1t was tragedy, yet an inspiring
one, particularly when we remember
that it was not solitary and singular,
but was only one of innumerable
acts Of heroism and devotion which
men are continually performing for
the welfare of their fellows. The
valor of Leonidas and his Spartans
at Thermopyle was no whit greater
than that of Jesse Lazear and his
comrades who caused themselves to
be inoculated with yellow fever virus
