Harry didn't seem to find her inter-

When after dinner she stole out on
the terrace moment to find herself

The Need Of Dawes's Talents

The appointment Of committee
to look into the affairs Of the dis
abled soldier raises hope that the
present disgraceful situation may
be cleared up.
The impossibility Of handling the
situation by means Of three-cor-
aered organization with its parts
unrelated has been demonstrated
The War Risk Bureau, the Voca-
tional Board and the Health Service
might have done big things by pull
ing together. Pulling separately,
they have made sorry tangle.
However, General Dawes, a swear
ing former brigadier general, as
sisted By committee Of public
spirited men and women,S including
representatives. Of labor and the
American Legion, should be able to
find way out. No doubt there will
be plenty Of opportunity for General
Dawes TO display his gift. For after
the milk-and-water policy that has
characterized the work to date a few
emphatic petitions to the throne of
grace will not be profanity, but more
IN the nature of prayer.

Music of the Future

Slgnor Marinetti, the prophet OF
the Futurist dispensation, has pro-
claimed for his followers a new re-
tinement Of doctrine. He finds that
music still is in the grip of conven-
ton, that Individual expression is
MANNED, and thus great harm done
to art.
So he is arranging for a musical
concert Of what he calls ~free i'm
provisations. There will be large
orchestra, but no rash .tooter or
drawer of bow will be tyrannized
over by the writer of the score.
Each noise maker will make the
noise that seems good to him and
thus a true symphony Of Futurism
will spring into glorious life.
1t may be suspected that the
signor is joking. Not at all. His
mood is one Of intense, almost tragic,
earnestness. He intimates that were
not duelling associated with past
modes Of life he would challenge to
deadly combat any one daring to
throw doubt on the earnest sincerity
Of his proposal. He calls on all free
versers, all unshackeled dauhing
artists, all emancipated sculptors
who hold that the way to model is
to mix mud pie and to fling 1t
against wall when they have an
order for hass-relief-in a word
al and several those who have heard
the call of the cult Of freedom to
Join IN assisting to liberate the regi-
mental members Of the musical
guilds.
1t will be ar interesting expert
rent, and when the hubbub breaks
loose one may be sure that ecstatic
admirers Of the new orchestral
method will exclaim over the tran
scendant beauty Of the result. How
the shade Of Dean Swift must grin
as it learns that the description OF
the academy at Logoda was not
satire after oil.

Confucius's Shortcut

When the late Mr.. Confucius. Of
CHINA, was alive and was trvlne 10
make the world better he found orc
bad condition which seemed terrible
yet easy enough TO reform. This
was the way in which persons &C
cused Of crimes We're strung up and
punished, without due regard" for the
fact that Il large proportion we're
innocent. The evidence, IN suspicious
Chinese eyes, was always against
them.
This condt ton, Ike most other
conditions everywhere, was an out
growth Of the national character,
and Confucius, like other reformcrs,
had no time to change that. But he
solved the difficulty by having a law
passed that no accused man should
be punished until he himself con-
tossed he was guilty. This would
protect all the innocent.
The Chinese national character.
however, rem aimed quite unchanged.
They had to obey the new law. but
they didn't ike the results. They
still felt that men who were accused
Of crimes probably We're guilty.
Public opinion wished them pun
ished. It couldn't bear to have them
60 free. So, since prisoners could
not legally be punished now unless
they confessed, the custom grew up
Of torturing the accused to extort a
confession.
At first they tortured only those
Of whose guilt they were surest--
men who by taking advantage of the
new law might escape deserved pun
ishment. 1t was too exasperating
to let such man escape just because
he blandly denied things. 50 they
toasted his feet or pulled off his
fingernails until he confessed. Later
eminent jurists pointed out that all
accused persons should be treated
alike--discrimination was plainly
unjust-so they then tortured every
one. No matter how innocent man
was, if he were accused of a crime,
he was not only punished, as for
merly, but tortured first, too. 1t was
made q part of due legal process, out
of respect for Confucius.
BY this time Confucius was dead
and unable to introduce more re-
forms. But his memory is greatly
respected. He had a good heart.

Prices and the Business Outlook

Analysis OF the price situation in
its bearing on general business and
financial conditions seems to support
the conclusions:
/. Buying, production and the ex-
changing Of goods viii move toward
the normal when the prospect Of
further fall in prices disappears.
g But, conversely, that so long "a
the process OF reimbursement to q new
and lower level Of prices remains in
complete, the processes of recovery
will be retarded. It is thus that
prices which are yet to fall stand in
the way of a general recovery in
trade and industry.
In considering these conclusions it
is important to understand that the
reaction in prices is not due to any
contraction of money supplies or Of
the volume of credit currency. Our
holdings of gold are near TO their
peak point Federal Reserve notes
have been reduced between March,
1920. and March. 1921, by only about
2 per cent. The portfolios Of the
member banks Of the Reserve System
We're only 3 per cent ernptier on Feb
rualy II. 1921. than on February 10.
1920. The total Of circulating media
in the country, therefore, the aggre-
gate Of potential purchasing power,
is obviously not greatly Debated. But
the fall il wholesale price is an-
proximately 10 per cent.
II is thus clear that the difficulty
With prices is not in the inadequacy
OF the circulatable medium TO sups
port them. The buying power. exists,
but it IS not used Deposits are in
active. They exist. but they do not
move-not. that is, at tie usual l'at 2
and in norma volume. The fig
ures for bark bearings report the
truth. According to r. G. Dun &
Co., the totals for twenty cities arc
POI per cent below those Of the cor
spending week Of a year ago.
1t is not to the present purpose to
stress the fact that the fall IN prices
is greater than the fall in the circu
lating medium. and greater. also
than the fall in the volume Of rs
circulation. The point of present
emphasis is merely that so long as
money and deposits are Inactive
are for the time being practically
hoarded-they have no more bearing
on prices than if they did not exist

4 The desultory replies which apollo
I ,.,s for former President Wilson
i sya 50 far made to the Lansing rev
lions are calculated 10 strengthen,
! s,',er than weaken. the nam
ki.srges implied In them.
For the most part Mr.. Wilson's
defenders have devoted themselves
criticisms Of Mr.. Lansing. The
Sooc taste in writing his book is as
lied, he is twitted on hot having
/ .s;gred sooner, and otherwise
soaght to be brought into contempt.
But what have these things to do
bib vital matters. Granted that
1 Il said in disparagement OF Mr..
,ansing is true, what of it? To COR
let him does not acquit Mr.. Wilson.
20 one has yentured TO assert that
Mr. Lansing has faisifed the record,
nd if he has not abuse OF him does
OF help another. Such a method of

What is the chief indictment
Fought by the ex-Secretary against

bat preceding blunders led up to?
1t is the sad fact that having Sc
Eured his treaty mot exactly what

The popular explanation is that he
