A WISE SETTLEMENT.

What must be regarded as q sensi- ble and happy solution of the trouble in Silesia is the agreement which has been reached to the effect that the German volunteers and the Polish insurgents will withdraw and that the territory will be occupied by allied troops, which will take the most stringent measures to sup press disorders should they break out there again.
 Upper silesia has presented an agra vated problem because of the fact that efforts have apparently been made to force the decision of the allied commits sion and to upset such disclosures con- cern'ng the attitude of the people as were expressed through the plebiscite. That the acts and aims of Korfanty and his followers did not represent the pol
 ley of the Polish government was main tained That it was a spontaneous re- sponse to leadership that relied upon force to accomplish its objects and want eel to indicate that it would not abide by any decision that might clash with it's views has been repeatedly shown. That it should arouse opposition was natural and it was plain that it had developed ihtO q SIlilll lpu that not OItN tlllOdIIdSS- ed the allies but threatened trouble of a character that not only the allies but the world desired to avoid,
 Thus when it IS determined that the situation there is unwarranted, that
 those who have been contributing factors
 in It's development will withdraw and permit the adjustment of the Upper Si- lesIan problem to follow the course in- tended there are reasons why more than just those involved should he gratifed It indicates display of sanity, and there are reasons for believing that Il results from the firm position taken fir opposition to the uniustifed tactics and in behalf of respect for the treaty terms Had the insurgents been permitted tc have their way and to tell the allied com. mission what decision it must render, oI to get full control of affairs there f would have paved the way for endles, difficulties in Europe.

What an influence combinations have had in boosting prices and as the result thereof causing a curtailment of con struction at time when there was so much need of it is furnished by the reve- lations which hayc been made in the city of Buffalo where the Lockwood legislative committee has secured quick results in bringing to light the profit ccrr.
 Because of Inc control which prevail cd oyer certain commodities 1t was pos- sihle to push up prices 10 a point 300 per cent higher than they were and 10 exert an influence upon trade that was decidedly detrimental Tt not only made construction work prohibitlve but it dis courarcd r. on the part of those who needed new buildings and new homes unless they were willing to submit 10 rohhcr prices. And these conditions wero truo not only in the city Of Buffalo but in a large part of the state of New York and other states because of the control that was exercised by the combination.
 How it was Intended 10 Squeeze the city Of Buffalo is shown by the bids that were received for the construction of eight new schoolhouses. When first sought Sl2ooo.0oO was the bid made. There was in ileatlon Of cousion and the amount was such that the bids were thrown out. When next called for there was two million dollar drop, but the attorney who has been conducting the investigation for the Lockwood commit fee insists that inc bids are not honest ones and Buffalo will not accept them. When they arc again sought there is req son to believe that the bids will be not only different in amount but also in char acter. They will come much nearer be- ing on business basis and as the re- suit Buffalo will be saved more than two milloan dollars on schoolhouses alone.
 Such conditions and such practices cal, for as diligent prosecution as there has been investigation.

sTRENGTn IN UNION.

For years there has been advocated the advisability of various church de- nominations getting together and form ing stronger churches instead of en- deavoring to struggle along with a great CT number of weaker ones all striving in slightly different ways for the same goal. Various movements have been started with such an object in view. The idea has made a strong appeal and there are a number of instances where divided dehomnations have overridden past diff ferences and united and where different denominations have come together under one standard. Such a getting together is undoubtedly bound to have it's effect in reducing those 35, 900 vacant pastor ates in the country.
 But while branches of denominations are joining hands in this country and different denominations are coming to- gether for more effective Christian ser vice it is interesting to note that the merits of such a proposition have so strongly. appealed to the churches in Canada that an even stronger movement is underway there.
 In the dominion to the north plans have been underway for the unlon Of three denomlnations, the Methodists, the Presbyterians and the Congregationalists and even before the war opened a basis whereby this might be accomplished had been agreed upon. The first and third of the denominations had approved the plan and during the early part of the war by a vote that showed a strong major ity, slightly under two to one, the sec ond in the list disclosed by preliminary action that it was favorably inclined. The general assembly of the Presbyter- lans this month by vote of nearly four to one took the final action that was needed and the result will mean the con solidation of the three churches.
 Strange as it may seem new denomina- tions are continually sDringing up but one of the best indications of the atti- tude of the people is to be gained from the action of such long and well estab- lished denominations recognizing the op- portunity for greater and more efficient service through united action. It indi- cates progress is an effort that has been underway for years.

THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION.

How firm the attitude of the respec- tive houses of congress is regarding the naval appropriation bill is indicated by the withdrawal of the house conferees when they found that it was impossible 10 get any sympathetic action from the senate representatives. It seems plain that each house has taken a last ditch stand and it may be some time before an agreement is reached upon the amount of money that is going to be provided for navy purposes.
 By the action in the senate the bill calls for the appropriation of s494, ,O0O,- 000 in the belief that we should not ieopardize the security of the country by failing 10 adequately provide for it's pro- Tectlon.
 Tn the house there is a demand for the carrying out of the call for economy and it believes that only about S4OO,- o0o 900 ought to be expended in the coming year and in reducing the amount nearly s1oo 100000 the welfare of the nst'J7 will not suffer. The house is no more desirous of leaving the nation un- prepared than the senate but it doesn't sec the need or the wisdom of spending The larger amount when there is such a demand for the elimination of extrava- gancc
 When the house coneerees withdraw 1t is evident that they are determined to stand by their guns. They have perhaps given due weight 10 the fact that Great Britain has cut It's appropriation for naval purposes 60 that it is but slightly higher than the figure favored by the house for this country, and they are con- soious of the fact that the cry of the country is for curtailed expenditures and reduced taxes Conditions are such that whatever congress might do in the way Of koopinF down appropriation bills it would at this time have little effect upon taxation but it would of course indicate a tendency m compliance with popular demand without ignoring safety. Ire nendous savings have already been ef- fecfed but that doesn't mean that the policy should he abandoned in any in. ttanco where further savings can b, brought about. The idea of anprorriat ing money just 10 have it spent cannot be tolerated.

No matter how busy you are or how well you feel, never spend an ent:re 1av. unless stormy, without going out doors.

NEEDLEwoRK NOTES.

It is best to use cotton thread with which to mend gloves, as silk cuts the leather.
 Backs of worn-out shirts make aprons. By sewing the two cuffs together and a piece of cloth between the cuffs you will have handy pot litter.
 If you are handy with your needle. you can make of black taffeta and white organdie some neckwear which the very smartest of women are wearing.
 Have you ever tried sewing the run her" in those lovely silk stockings on the machine? It does very neat iob. really looks better than hand work.
 An apron which your laundrynan vii, accept as fiat work can be made by scanning the breadths of material to- gether, making a belt to button, and which just fits your waist, and then hemming each side of the apron with a margin wide enough for the belt to slin through. One advantage of this is that the gathers are never in the same place thus it wears longer.
