Firm-Notes.
BY STUART r. WEST.

NEW YORK. March 9.-The main
point of interest about today's stock
market was that it showed how slight
an influence the German reparations
deadlock had been in the movement
of the preceding days. The news from
abroad was admittedly cheering
There was not the slightest opposi-
ton to the occupation of the three
Rhine towns. The German president
had publicly stated the inability Of
the country to adopt any other atti-
tude than one Of unresisting protest
Tnat the feeling in banking circles
was more optimistic than yesterday
was sufficiently indicated by the
course Of the exchanges. where ster-
ling rallied almost as sharply as il
had gone down. But the stock list
paid very little attention to the re-
coil in the exchanges.
Railway shares. weakened by the
bad earning statements for January.
with no likelihood of the February or
March returns being much better.
were under pressure persistently
Inere was heavy selling of one or two
OF the copper and smelling issues,
which was ostensibly due to the dis
appointment because the copper metal
has not responded to the recent fin
ancing which lifted 400. .Oo0,0 900 pounds
from the market and to the accom-
panying efforts to curtail output at the
mines. But these weak spots failed
to influence the rest of the list. 1t
rather looked as if, while the rails
and coppers were being forced down,
covering was going on in such typical
favorites of the late bear speculation
as Mexican Petroleum, Pan-Arerican n
and Atlantic Gulf.
Steeix Are Steady.
That operations for the decline had
pretty well reached their limit. at
least in some directions. was sug-
gested by the continued steadiness of
the steel stocks in the face of un-
favorable trade news, by the partial
recovery in the sugar shares. despite
the melancholy showing in American
sugars annual report. and by the
premium exacted for the use of United
Fruit by those who had been selling
the stock short and had to make de-
liveries. American Sugar was another
case like many that have occurred
recently where bad news, long ex-
pected. was greeted with a sense of
RELIEF. Tho statement made by the
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that railway conditions
were worse than they had been in
December and that the. average
operating ratio~was 80 per cent. re-
ceived some attention in the mark ct
for railway stocks.

SEEDS OF WAR

"Viseount Brice is a wise old man of worldwide
vision" observes the Philadelphia Ledger. He sees
the transaction at Versailles with q perspective un-
distorted by passion, unperturbed by strife of tongues
and the violent jealousies Of chauvinist partisans.
Among the hills of western Massachusetts, he offers
his views to ~ audience of the Institute of Politics at
Williams college in cool detachment far removed from
the theater of European broil and friction.
"The picture he presents is not a hopeful one. He
comedies the difficulties of the task before those who
took part in the peace council. They were called upon
to reconcile irreconcilables- Popular prejudices, pop
ular passions and capabilities had to be hundred or
~gratifed' They were not shifting pins on a map;
they were uprooting landmarks and making lines of
cleavage in a living population. Greed of gain Vas n
dominating influence. Countries land-poor already,
drunk with sight of power wanted more to rule than
they were able to assimilate.
His conclusion is that much of The work done by
the negotiating peacemaker, which has drawn CEN
sure from every nation and been entirely pleasing to
none, must be done over again. The enormous diff
hculty of the concilatory task undertaken is realized,
in full view of the magnitude and the variety of the
interests to be reconciled.
THAT, however, does not make it less imperative
upon the world to face with courage and frankness the
phases of the treaty that are still provocative Of bit
ter controversy and that may, in Bryce's words, lead
straight to future wars He is not the one discoverer
of these dangers. The world knows of their existence
and is beginning, fumblingly, to try to set them
right"

THE RErIcENcE OF HISTORY.

'The 'unbelieving Thomas who said that history
is in the main a category of accepted falsehoods was,
OF course, guilty of gross exaggeration,' says the
Washington Post, but that he had some justification
for his cynical epigram any one who tries to get at
the real truth even of contemporary happenings must
admit. For example, despite a mass of memoirs on the
subject, the public is as yet far from knowing all the
facts as to what occurred behind the closed doors of
the Versailles conference, or, to take another familiar
illustration from comparatively recent events, what
individual is in a position conscientiously to assert
that he is thoroughly conversant with the true Sc
quence of the incidents from which sprang the re-
volt of Panama from Colombia?
SIT is now pretty generally recognized that in all
great wars in particular certain things happen which
it is not desirable for the contemporary generation to
know By the time that the veil of secrecy can safe
ly be lifted distortions of facts are so firmly embedded
in the popular mind that it is next to impossible to
dislodge them. In such cases tell the truth and shame
the devil is a maxim more honored in the breach
than in the observance.
"An Illuminating illustration is afforded in Lord
Esher's announcement in the preface to his work,
The Tragedy of Lord Kitchener that he intends to
seal up his diaries and correspondence and leave them
in the British museum, to be made public only 60
years hence. Esher on Kitchener could not fail to be
in the highest degree interesting, for If ever there
was a man about whose varied roles and his discharge
of them, as well as about his tragic fate, everybody
is curious it assuredly was Lord Kitchener. Those
who have been in the habit of regarding him as a
forceful personality, grimly determined to have his
own way at whatever cost, have been greatly per-
turbed by the haf-lights let in on him in The Mirrors
OF Downing Street. in which he is shown as a man of
much indecision, weakly surrendering his own views
to those held by men of apparently inferior mental
caliber.

eral marshals, and the attorney general indicates that
he believes some of it may have leaked out or evapo-
rated, or something. He wants to know bad enough

If the attorney general proposes to have the ac-
counting made to the last drop the books are not GO

IT CAN HAPPEN.

They have different views on the prohibition ques-
ton in different sections of the country. Here is the
Los Angeles view from the Times:
Without seriously fracturing the eighteenth
amendment in the use of light wines and beer in
America is possible. They are not intoxicating ex-
cept where used to excess-as tea or coffee might be.
The alcoholic content can be brought into the safety
zone and yet supply the tang that seems to be desired.
The point is that only in this way can the government
get any revenue out of the traffic. With a tax of
$40 a barrel on 8 per cent beer the government would
be on easy street in a year and the nuisance taxes
could be dispensed with entirely. The people are
making millions of barrels of home brew which may
contsin 8 or 10 per cent of alcohol. Experts argue
that it would be better to let them have a good 3 per
cent beer from the prewery-especially in view of
the revenue that the government would derive"

LEI N TRY 1T.

The Buffalo Express suggests: perhaps Henry
Ford as the owner of a railroad knows what he can do
in the matter of a reduction of freight rates. In any
event, he certainly has the right to try out his plan,
no matter on what it is based. Perhaps he is trying
to break down freight rates for purposes of his own,
as has been charged, but to the outsider it would seem
as though he would have to be more of a railroad own
er than he is now in order to make a very big splash
in the puddle.
Anyway, it is rather strange that a coal associa-
ton in West Virginia should protest to the interstate
commerce commission against the proposed reductions
on Fords railroad. What possible interest can a coal
association, assuming that it represents coal pro-
ducers, have in boosting freight rates? If it comes
to questioning purposes, we fancy that the on-lookers
will be more inclined. to question the purposes of this
coal association in protesting against the reductions
than it will to question the purposes of Ford in max
ing the reductions"

a pity that The facts about this picturesque historical
figure cannot now be fully revealed. Lord Esher's
rather with the psychological tragedy Of his later
years. when the tasks imposed upon him were greater
than he could satisfactorily handle. 1t would be well
worth while to have the complete and final verdict
rendered about him by one so well competent to judge,
and particularly to have the opportunity Of studying
the evidence on which that verdict was based. 1t may
yet be forthcoming. for Lord Esher drops q hint that
if the demand is insistent enough he may revise his
present intention as to secrecy"
