American business success has been buiit-Mr. Mckee has made substan- tial beginning in the task of complete and popular enlightenment on funda- mental matters that deeply affect the daily life and work and welfare of all of us.
 In his discussion of the complex char acter of our business organization, the misunderstanding of money, wages and wealth, the elements of banking, the abuse of our railways, and the subject of speculators and markets he had picked out the really essentiar principles, and presented them in a simple, reasonable way that brings them within the compre- hension of the average adult who has had at least a grammar school education
 His chapters on Americas place in in -ternational business and on business consequences of the war are especially timely.

 Those who are acquainted with the iaudable accomplishments of the Red Cross in whatever field it has been call sd upon for service do not lave to be urged to come tcrward with their mem bership fees or supporting contributions. It is a great pleasure and privilege to be identified with sueH an organization ani above all to be able t0 see the funds Ti eh are placed under it's direction go So far in giving relief to sufferers, what eSe- the cause oe their temporary diff critics may happen to be, whether it IS food, famine, ire, earthfuake,~ CT some other disaster.
 This is the week in which he Red Cross is seeking to roll up minirpuh membership of 1o,0oo,0oO.

V1adivostok and the Far Eastern
 Republic
 Evacuation of Vladivostok by the Jap anese leaves the Far Eastern Republic free for the working out of curious political experience unless the present system is overthrown by advancing Red troNps,'' says a bulletin from the Wash ington, DC, headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 'rVladiyostok's new importance arises because it is the port city of the Far Eastern Republic. This. a new entity in problems of the Far East, only a slice of vast Siberia-the southeast corner infact-and comprises less than one twentieth of the old Russian Empire. " The rail distance from the port ot the new republic to Verkhne-Udinsl1. near Lake Baikal, where the trans-Siberian railway cuts it's western boundary, is approximately that from New York city to Bismark, North Dakota. Yet that dis tance is only a third of the way across Siberia. And the Far Eastern Republic itself, in area, is greater than Texas and California together.
 Trains have been running from Verkkne-Udinsk to V1adiVostok, except | for recent military interruptions, but the 1 running requires explanation. An A. merican tells how, at intervals, the train stops while tke conductor trudges/ g. | longside the cars shouting, Tovarish- chi-za drovami!.

xrW ENGLAND RAnnoADs, ,

The railrcad situation in New Eng land has lcag since been to the front. 1t was a befare-the-War trouble and while there arc indications that uiaks thS eufioek more promising than 1t has Seea at some periods, it is impossible . not to attach much importance to thA endeAvors which are being made to de- tsrnffne what plan is best for the fu- ture of the reads when 1t eeANes to the matter of merging with other foSds.
 It has Been advocated that the roads Of New England be brought toeether in- to one system with the object in view of getting better service and more econo- tifcAl operation. No little time and thought have been given to the consid- eratlOh Of the benefits of such . union even thoOkh 1t means the merging oi lines which are rated as fittaMclaIls weak.
 At the same time there are these weli tersed in rSfSUad problems who take the view the New England railroads should be joined with some of the great trunk lines in such way as to give them the improved financial standing and also provide for them the trad6 outlets into various sections of the eoun- try.
 The aim must be in any eAse t6 give the best possible railroad service to the New England states, to provide etacisni and satisfying service and to put then on a basis where they will not only givt service but prove proper money making ventures for their owners,
 It Is not a matter of minor eohsidefa. tioA. It is not a problem that e5Mcefns the few. It Is sitaatiua in which all Ne@ England is deeply interested in one way or another, for the industrial Activity and prosperity of any section of the country is dependent to a large degree UpOn its transportation facilities If they are not up to requirements thC sections served are bSdnd to feel thu efects. Thus the railroad problem De comes a pfep0siti6n of general conceer and those who are ende&vorins to de. ter1hine what is best for New EnglGht and what is favored by the pAopie 6i this country should be given such con, stfuctive SssiseAnce As they seek.

MEETING A GENIUS

ly we found a sale in progress and there in the bargain boxes we found exactly what wanted.

We sat there a good while before he came. and I had to lean over to talk with people to whom they intro dueed me and nearly spilled out of my camp chair lots of times.
 "There was a little music first that we applauded heartily, and then the ] talk began. It was then that I noticed people looking at my hat and I was quite pleased until I found them all choking or trying to stifie a laugh with handkerchiefs. Sally turned and looked at me and whispered something about
 my hat, her face very red, but I did not catch it.
