Sharp Reaction in Motor

New York, Oct. 11.-(E-Specu-
lation for the advance in today's
market was interrupted by q sharp
reaction in the motor and tobacco
shares, several Of which broke 8 to
az points, but buying support was
quickly supplied, and the market
headed upward again by early after
noon. Lowering Of the call money
rate from 6h to 8 per cent stimu-
lated the recovery.
There was little in the days bust
ness news to influence tie price

conspicuous exception being that Of
the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport company, which showed
only $1.62 4 share In the first six
months, 90 against more than So in

The midday selling movement was
most effective against Hudson Mo.

it's loss. United Cigar Stores was
hammered down 5A points. drag

before he could get out of his room.
l suppose he delayed to tell his wife
what disposition to make of his public
papers, but q few of which were Sc
cured by us.
In this matter-of-fact manner does
George Clark tell the story of the
events of that Independence day far
out on the fringe of the western will
derness. If he recognized the: appro-
priateness of the occasion, there is no
indication Of 1t In his writing. 1t Is
doubtful if he did, however, for the
significance of that red-letter day In
American history was not yet appar-
ent to the men who had the most to
do with putting it in our calendar.
American independence from the
mother country had been declared
only two years and it was yet ques-
ton whether the Revolution would
succeed or fail.
Neither could he foresee what lay
before hin-his easy capture of Ca
hokia and Vincennes, the loss of the
latter place to "Hair-Buyer" Hamilton.
the British governor Of Detroit. the
terrible march which he was to lead
across the Drowned Lands the next
year TO recapture Vincennes, the .die
plOmacy, the tact, the boldness, the
daring, and the master skill which he
must employ to win the French inhab-
itants of the Illinois country from
their sworn allegiance to the British
flag and to overawe the Indian tribes
so that his slender force could hold
the country which they had conquered.
Least of all could he foresee the
mighty consequences of his ambitious
plans and the sufferings which he and
his men were to be called upon to en-
dure before he had accomplished his
designs. We can look back now and
see that had 1t not been for George
Rogers Clark, the western boundary
of the new republic at the close Of
the Revolution would most likely have
been the Alleghenies and the great
states of Wisconsin, Michigan. Illinois.
Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky, to say
nothing of the whole vast territory
west of the Mississippi, might not now
be part of the United States.
For it is not venturing too wild
guess to declare that had Clark's at
tempt to capture Kaskaskia that In
dependence day hundred and fifty
years ago by some chance resulted in
failure instead of success. the whole
course of American history might have
been changed. 1t is often upon such
slender threads as this that, the des-
tiny of nations hangs. In view of the
Importance of Clark's conquest of the
British posts in the West, it would be
natural to suppose that grateful ma
