ANNIVERSARIES begin to pail.
~ But there is one which never
loses the freshness of its appeal.
1t Ia the November day when
we fell again, year BY year, the
almost incredible sense OF reiieI from
the strain of war.
The anniversary Of the beginning OF
the war passes almost unnoticed; DOUBT
less the human mind is only too ready
to SUPPRESS unpleasant memories. Yet
Il the hope of permanent peace which
filled the hearts Of almost every man
and woman In Europe and America
in November. 1918, is not to be vain the
origin of the great catastrophe must
not be forgotten.
How can we hope to rid the world
of war If we do not destroy the causes
of which war is the effect? We may
study volumes of diplomatic dispatches
and the memories Of statesmen who
shift from one government to another
this or that part OF the responsibility
for the outbreak. We do not ma u
hard TO allot the blame for the actual
precipitation Of the war But what
was the dominant fact which made IT
possible within few weeks to plunge
whole continent into wholesale
fratricide?
Efficient Cause of War
am more than ever convinced that
Lord Grey is right In saying that the
efficient cause OF the war, above all
else, was the competition In ornaments.
Such peace as there was In the quar-
ter Of a century which preceded the
war was an armed peace" In which,
while the peoples knew and cared lit
tie about international affairs, the gov
ernments felt compelled Tin spite OF
the half-hearted attempt OF the Hague
conferences to establish the principle
of arbitration) 10 maneuver for posi-
ton on the assumption that every
other nation was either potential ally
or potential enemy Hattieships were
armies multiplied; nlistrust was the
order Of the day
What progress have we made since
then? The League OF Nations has been
at work for nine years To maintain
peace 1t Is busted with almost innu~
merablc undertakings for the common
good of its member states But only
blind optinlist would pretend that the
principal cause OF war has been radi-

Some Disarmed, Others Not.
Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bull

WHEAT GOES HIGHER
IN EARLY TRADING
Strength of Liverpool Quotations
Influences Chicago
Market.
By IT, Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 16.-Unexpected
strength OF wheat quotations at Liver
pool. together with reports of better
q nand abroad, led to higher prices
eGIly today in the wheat market here
Meanwhile, unwelcome wet weather in
the corn belt gave firmneSs to corn
valras. Opening unchanged to 5s up,
Chi ago wheat later showed gains all
around, but then reacted somewhat.
Corn started at "a to "a advance, and
afterward eased back little. Oats
were firm. Provisions likewise tended
upgrade.
Helping to lift the wheat market
today were indications of increased
calls from Europe for wheat from North
America. In this, as well as in con-
nection with higher prices at Liver
pool today than expected, the fact was
noted that estimates of the wheat crop
in Italy show nearly 100000 bushels,
falling-off; compared to latest previous
figures. Talk was also current that
the Chicago wheat market presents evil
dence of becoming easily overSold. a
circumstance which appears to give
warning against any aggressive bear
pressure
Indications of corn export business
OF good-Sized proportions and of
further rains unfavorable for facilitat-
ing the crop movement had an early
bullish effect today on the corn mar
ket. Besides. arrivals of corn in Chi
cago today were unusually scant, only
IS cars all told. Reports were also at
hand showing that shipments of stocker
and feeder cattle from IL markets into
the seven corn belt States for three
months have been materially in exces.
of the total for the corresponding
period last year.

CURB ISSUES RISE
IN WAVE OF BUYING
Market Turns Sharply Up
ward After Early Period
of IrreguIarity.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 16.-After an
hour OF irregularity, prices on the curb
exchange turned generally upward to-
day. Interest centered in high priced
SpecialtieS, which held the prospect of
Republication and stock distributions
or distribution of valuable rights to
subscribe to new stock.
Royal Baking Powder was case in
point, advancing from 382 to its high
est in history, 408. Along with the
shares went the rights to subscribe to
additional stock, and at 80 the price
of rights was almost four points higher.
Safeway Stores experienced jump OF
IS points to a new peak at TAO. The
new shares, which were admitted to
trading following approval by stock
holders, changed hands between 1902
and 1872. The new stock, to be is
sued in exchange for the old common
on the basis of five for one, amounts
to 100000 shares. Sanitary Grocery
was another that moved Spectacularly.
At 435 the price was up 20 points.
Deere common was another in the
high-priced category to move forward
sharply and at 485 recorded a gain of
more than 10 points. On the other hand,
heavy selling made itself felt in TubiZe
Artificial Silk, carrying the price down
ID points to 525.
Among the lower-priced specialties
that established new peaks were APP
ponaug, up over points above 66,
United States Foil "B", points higher
at 46l2; Universal Insurance, up 2
points above the previous final at So
and Walgreen, which crossed the 81
level, up more than points.
Activity in the mining group was
sympathetic with renewed buying of
this class of shares on the Stock Ex-
change. Bunker Hill and Sullivan and
Newmont Mining were the favorites
among the higher priced issues. Car
negie Metals, up over three points, was
dlscounting rumors that it was to go
into one of the larger combines.
The oil shares did little one way
or the other. Barnsdall warrants were
exceptions, establishing a new high
above II in sympathy with strength in
the class "A' stock on the big board.

Ladybird Beetles Clear Trees.

The ladybird beetles are perhaps the
most beneficial of the several insects
that act as check on the peach tree
insects. They prey upon scale insects
aphids and thrips. The stabbed
ladybird beetle is usually prevalent on
peach trees that are heavily infested
with the San Jose scale. 1t is jet black
in color and has two orange or red
spots on the back. Ladybird beetles
take their nourishment by sucking scale
insects dry. They also assist materially
brown plum aphid or orther aphids.
Surplus flies. lacewing flies, tachina
flies, ground beetles and some of the
assassin bugs and praying NANTES are
other insects that are beneficial to the
peach grower.

BULLISH OPERATIONS
EXCITE PUBLIC INTEREST

NEW YORK, October 16.-From the
standpoint of the individual advances
In active shares, the stock market of
the last few days has been one of the
most notable in this years bull cam
paign.
To the record made last week, when
90 per cent of all the stocks dealt in
made net gains compared with a IS
per cent showing of minus signs the
week previous, there was added yester-
day another long array of substantial
advances. This not only meant new
high record prices for particular issues,
put new high average for the indus
trial group as whole.
Out of IS industrial stocks in which
the trading has been active, individual
advances since the middle of last week
have ranged from to As points, the
maximum being in Montgomery Ward.
These 35 issues show an average gain
in the last four market sessions of ap-
proximately IL points. No such pre-
pendicular rise has occurred in SINH
lar group at any time during the bull
market
This leads to the conclusion that after
a great deal of distributions of pools
between the middle OF September and
up W OCIODer lU DulllSn operations
by the professional element have been
resumed and have so excited the specu-
lative public that 1t has thrown all
restraint to the winds.
Brokers agree that the public is only
interested IN the market when it ad-
vances. 1t will not buy when stocks
react, but will follow any Tip" that

try mass of buying orders on which
quotations throughout the general mar
ket list will be elevated. Whenever the
market begins to sag off this demand
becomes dull.
Among the unprecedented features
of the present market is a sustained
advance at a swift pace in prices on
the eve of the most confusing national
election situation in American history.
This has been interpreted to mean that
the public would not care a great
dealt whether Mr. Hoover or Mr.. Smith
were elected, in SO far as the result bears
on values of securities. 1t has also
been characterized as movement with
political sponsorship, with each party

perity is, after all, the main issue.
