there were probably others who were

likely that the same people prepared

and worked the street.
No reckoning would seem to be now
possible of the losses If they can be
SO called, incurred in the fraudulent
transaction. In the rush of buying
and selling orders the gang would be
effectually concealed as to Identity.
This episode shows that while the
street may be protected against
forgeries through the watchfulness of
banks and the development of close
communication. the market is still
susceptible to price spasms induced by
fraudulent buying or selling orders.
Yet such phenomena Of fraud do not
leave a lasting mark. No real damage
has been done except to those who are
playing the market on margins, the
spectators, and it matters but little
whether they are caught by one sort

Wall Street Tricked.

Wall street was yesterday the scene
Of another explosion, not so tragic or
disastrous as that of September, 1921,
but almost as profoundly shocking to
the street" The morning mail
brought to number Of brokerage
houses buying orders in large sums
from banks in Pennsylvania. New
York and Massachusetts,, accompanied
by cashiers checks. Superfieially
these were genuine orders and perfect
ly good checks. Some of the brokers
hastened to place the orders, and the
volume of buying was such as to send
the market up sharply several points.
But some of the banks to which the
checks were sent for collection uues-
toned them, and making telegraphic
and telephone inquiries found that
they were worthless forgeries. So
rapid was the process of inquiry and
discovery that word got back to the
stock exchange in short order that a
fraud had been committed, and prices
reacted as sharply as they had risen,
starting a general downward move.
ment which carried the quotations

1t is not definitely known what

was not perpetrated for fun. There is
however, but one logical possibility
and that is that a gang of crooks un

break the market in order to profit by

put across any of the forged checks

Work on Memorial
T. On Stone Mountain

So deeply interested is President
Harding in the Stone Mountain me-
mortal that he has sent his chief aide,
Col. c. o. Sherrell, to represent him
at the Atlanta conference on that
noble undertaking, and also has writ
ten q letter of warmest appreciation
and good will.
The Presidents interest is typical of
that which the memorial has inspired
throughout America. Intended to en-
blazon the heroic figures of the con-
federacy, it has an appeal far wider
than any sectional sentiment, an ap-
peal that 1t nation wide. indeed world
Wide-so vast, so wonderful is the

Come On, Mobiles.

Two things stand out in Shrine
news. One of these is the number of
bands that will make music for the
parade, and the other is the festive
dressing up Of the White House. The
real number of brass and sheepskin
bands that will lift the feet Of the
mobiles and stimulate spectators is not
now known, but it will be stupendous.
And 'stupendous" can be as aptly ap-
piled to everything else in connection
with Shrine week as to the number
Of bands.
The bands already signed up to play
here foot up ninety.six, with nearly
5000 musicians, and the mobiles say
that this will be the largest musical
aggregation that has ever been seen
or heard in Washington, and perhaps
the world" They will come with Alb.

Quotations on Hostages.

1t is stated in the dispatches from
China that the brigand kidnapers have
adopted a scale Of prices for their
prisoners. $4,000 for foreigners. $50,
600 for Chinese of the highest class
$4,000 for Chinese Of a lower class
and $4,000 for all others. This leads to
speculation as to what constitutes
class in ransom. A foreigner Is rated
as worth twenty-five times as much
as a low-grade Chinaman, and only
five to three as much as a high grade
Chinaman. The answer to this seem
ing paradox is that the brigands need
the money" and are not particular
whether they arouse any hard feeling
on the score of discrimination or other

"garnished with fine talk about the

about the independence of Ireland"

The offer lis more rhetorical than

Pilot analyses it. but Its rejection
does not detract from its significance
as sign of onmarching peace. 1t
seems reasonable to believe that even

the Syracuse Herald holds, the Free

because "it is only too evident that
the Irish government is now dealing,
not with a revolt. but with a caDcer.
Fortunately the days seem to be rap
idly approaching when the surgeons

Women and the World Court.

President Harding paid deserved
tribute to the intelligence and pa
triotic earnestness of endeavor of the
country in their consideration of ma
tional questions in his letter to the
council of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, in session at Atlanta.
The broad and intelligent interest
which this organization has taken in
public affairs the President wrote,
land its splendidly effective effort to
insure that the nation shall derive the
utmost advantage from the full par
ticipation Of womanhood in the re-
sponsibility Of public life, entitle the
federation TO be ranked among the
great constructive and educating
forces of the land.
Thus gracefully presenting a
bouquet to the women, he followed
by assuring them that his were not
empty words when he went on to en-
courage them in a project in which the
club organizations generally are in
terested. the broader participation Of
this country in world affairs. under
proper reservations. The topic dis
cussed by the President was the ad-
hesion of the United States to the Per-
manent Court of International Justice.
1t is quite evident that the Presi-
dent is entirely confident that the
country is behind him in the proposal
he has submitted to the Senate. THE
national heart, conscience and judg-
ment are alike enlisted, and We never
need fear that any opposition will pre-
vail" declared the President. He add.
ed that the assurances which he is
receiving in increasing number day by
day leave no doubt as to state of pub
conviction" he said that our obliga-
tions to human society. and likewise
to our very material interest, equally
demand that the nation shall give this
sincere and effective proof OF It's wish
to cooperate in eliminating the causes
of strife among the nations and peo-
ples.''
The women, through the pressure
they are able to bring to bear on pub
lie sentiment, can contribute to power
full degree in holding up the hands Of
the President in the undertaking he
has in hand. The President himself
cannot be a "campaigner" in the
political sense, but the women can be
and will be campaigners, and effective
ones.
