preached by President Harding to-
day from a woodland pulpit over
looking General Washington's his

nation, he added, could discharge
its responsibilities to humanity
only If it preserved securely its
independence Of action and the
traditions inherited from the faith

"An America dedicated to It's

are justified and guaranteed anew.

valley Forge tested the heroic
resolution of the new world con-
tenders for liberty They proved
that lofty heroism is not always
tragic, but develops its supreme Of

and unalterable resolution. We
Americans have wrought SO mar

Il thought as we rode through
the park today, yielding our emo

signs of the great memories, in
dicated by the preservation OF the
trenches and the reproduction Of
the huts in which the patriots suf-
| fered, that if we can find satisfac-
tion in these outward manifesto

how much more important 1t is
that we retain the substance of

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET


The leading interests in the street
have little to say about the stock mar
ket outlook, but confidence Is shown in
many quarters about the situation. and
the opinion generally prevails that lead
ing stocks have again gone into strong
hands and that the supply of stocks has
been depleted TO the sma;icst volume
known in recent years.
Some of the brokers watching the
trading say that market movements to
great extent are directed by bear
operations, Including. concentrated at
tacks against several stocks and efforts
TO cover shorts in the general list. 1t
is insisted by them. however, that even
on advances there is no supply vt long
stock. and where shorts cover the sell
ing comes almost wholly from the pro
fessional element on the floor which
seems TO base its operations on n belief
that after the hurried advances the
market will react aud permit buying the
stocks back at a profit
According to some of those who
should be we'll informed about market
transactions generally, the situation is
being strengthened with every day :
trading, and they expect that before the
enu OF the month business VIII again pe
on n large scale at substantial advances
in prices. Some Of them think that tn"
market has been rrprcsScd purpoSeIy in
order that too extensive advances
should not be made before th" actual
change in the federal administration
occurs, but the t"chni'nl position he
came too strong for the market To be-
repressed any longer, especially as 1t IS
asserted that there is no element OF
weakness anywhere in the situation.
