NEW YORK, August 1.-The way
in which stocks have come back
after Mondays decline increased the
bullishness of the speculative .ele-
ment in the Street and brings out
predictions of higher prices for
leading shares. Some enthusiastic
brokers go as far as to say that the
Autumn markets will exceed in size
and in the extent of the advances
any that have so far been wit
messed. Prices given for popular in
dustrials and public utilities sound
unreasonable. So did those that were
mentioned one and two years ago.
There has been comparatively little
LIQUIDATION from strong accounts
on this last upward movement.

Every one talks of peace and ar
mistice. All wait. If it again proves
an illusion, then they will break up;
hope is high, it can not be taken
away again without an upheaval.
If there is not peace, then there will
be revolution,
I have fourteen days rest, because
have swallowed a bit of gas; in q
little garden I sit the whole day
long in the sun. The armistice Is
coming soon, I believe it now too.
Then we will go home.
Here my thoughts stop and will
not go any farther. All that meets
me, all that floods over me are but
feelings greed of life, love of
home, yearning of the blood, intoxi-
cation of deliverance. But no aims.
Had We returned home in 1918,
out OF the suffering and the strength
of our experiences we might have
unleashed a storm.
Now if we go back we will be
weary, broken, burnt out, rootleSs,
and without hope. We will not be
able to find our way any more.
And men will not understand us
for the generation that grew up
before us, though it has passed
these years with us here, already
had a home and calling; now it
will return to its old occupations,
and the war<will be gotten-and
the generation that has grown up
after us will be strange to us and
push us aside.
We will be superf1uous even to
ourselves, We will grow older, a few
will adapt themselves, some others
merely will submit, and most will
be bewildered;-the years will pass
by and in the end we shall fall into
ruin.
But perhaps all this that I think
Is mere melancholy and diSmay,
which will fly away as the dust,
when I stand once again beneath
the poplars and listen to the rus
ling of their leaves.
1t can not be that it has gone
the yearning that made our blood
unquiet, the unknown, the per-
picking, the oncoming things, the
thousands faces of the future, the
melodies from dreams and from
books, the whispers and divinationS
of women, it can not be that this
has vanished in bombardment, in
despair, in brothels.
Here the trees show gay and
golden, the berries of the rowan
stand red among the leaves, coun-
try roads run white out to the sky
line, and the canteens hum like bee
hives with rumours of peace.

am very quiet. Let the months
and years come. they bring me
nothing more. they can bring me
nothing more. I am so alone, and
so without hope that l can confront
them without fear.
The life that has borne hIe
through these years is still in my
hands and my eyes. Whether I
have subdued it. I know not. But
so long as it is there it will seek its
own way out. needless of the will
that is within me.
He fell in October. 1918. on a day
that was so quiet and still on the
whole front, that the army report
confined itself to the single SEN
tence: All quiet on the Western
Front.
He had fallen forward and lay
on the earth as though sleeping.
Turning him over one saw that he
could not have suffered long; his
face had an expression of calm, as
though almost glad the end had
come.

United States of Europe is a wide
spread and very finite European
uneasiness and fear in reg9-' to the
United States of America.
Oddly enough, this European
hostility-that is not too strong a
word for it-includeS Great Britain
IS well as the United States.
Brands idea Is not at all new.
A century ago Napoleon dreamed of
tying all the European nations to-
gether, either by conquest or by
treaty, into great custom union
which would shut out all British
goods by tariffs, embargoes and the
like.
More recently. a Czech writer
named N. -Kalergi. in a
book called Pan Europe" came to
bat with the same idea.
Assails 4. s. and Britain
He asserted that the decadence of
Europe Is due to two great union
The United States of America and
the British empire. Admitting the
tealousies and rivalrieS which keep
European nations apart, he never
theleSs asserted that their only
solution would be to form a United
States of Europe. in which each ma
ton would be sovereign within its
own frontiers, much as the various
American states are.
The advantages of such fedora
ton. says Coudenhove-K -Kalergi,
would be these:
The European states would not
have to fear war with one another;
they could remain neutral and pros
porous when other nations went to
war: they could protect themselves
against the aggression of any out
side powers or combination of pow
ers, and-they could face the buSi-
ness rivalry of America and Eng
land.
Still another prominent European
to suggest such federation is Arnold
Rechberg. the great German indus
trialist. Rechberg, who formed the
great Franco-German potash trust,
believes that a succession of such
industrial unions will eventually
lead to political union between
France and Germany, which will be
followed by extension of the idea
to neighboring powers.

Thus far, all Of these ideas have
been coldly received in England. But
. very recently some leading British
publicists have suggested a new ar
rangement of the British empire, In
which the mother country and all
the dominions and colonies would
trade with one another without any
tariff barriers at all, while at the
same time building a protective tar
if wall against the products Of other
nations.
This scheme has met with con-
siderable opposition. Many British
ers fear it would raise the cost of
food in England, and the Australi-
ans, who Just have managed to es-
tablish their own industries, fear
that admitting goods from England
duty free would wipe these indus
tries out entirely.
Enough has been written, no
doubt, to show that England tends
to be on the side of America rather
than Of Europe when the United
States of Europe idea Is suggested.
So, 1t goes without saying, any
thing which might lead to conflict
between England and America would
md most Of Europe looking on with
q pleased manner.
Noxtt Europe and the war debts.
