change to . new regime at once once the step had been taken, a thought of without most serious reason for such regression. The market, accordingly. knowing that some modification was becoming inevitable, has watched the prog ress of events with an anxiety which has deepened ever since the granting of the recent credit in fa- vor of the Bank of England. Now that the decision has been made, it is naturally accepted as a load off the mind of the financial com- munity. The ultimate effects of the new policy are difficult to fore- shadow but for the present, it is likely to relieve the strain under which the British economic organ ization has been laboring. This should have a correspondingly ben eflcial, though reflected, effect upon conditions in the United States. British foreign obligations, payable in gold, will be met in that metal so that the change is domes- tic. purely.
 The action of the market follow ing cable advices that England had temporarily suspended sold pay mef1ts on domestic transactions and the announcement Of wage cuts by leading steel companies was so sat- isfactory, it was taken for granted by many that the turn had come for better things. The truth is, how ever, that the demand for stocks at the present time is so small the
 market is not in a position to ab- sorb sales, whether for long or short account, and until there are unnnistakab1e signs of business inn provement it Is hardly to be ex- pected that the confidence of the investing public will return suf- ficiently to make the demand ex- ceed the supply, which is required before any decided uplift can take place that will last. To be sure stocks have gotten down to points at which they are undoubtedly great bargains and this will be fully demonstrated some day.

in raising funds to care for their own depression victims. It will do little else.
 The series of White House busi- ness conferences immediately af- ter the stock market crash in 1929, the presidential prophecies that prosperity was only 60 days away, the unsatisfactory results of the committee on employment headed by Arthur Woods, the failure of the debt moratorium ot do any, thing more than prolong the life of the patient, all have combined to convince the engineer in the White House that a good deal ot faith once placed in organization, tables, conferences and optimistic statements, was illusory.
 Accordingly, when word of the American Legion's plan to revive the wartime council of national defense reached Washington, a good friend of MT Hoover reached for the ten-pound volume of the revised states, looked up the law creating the council of national defense and smiled wearily.
 He found that the council was charged with working out plans for developing military railroads and highways, mobilizing industrial re- sources for war, suggesting plans for espionage, treatment of aliens, protection of naming pigeons in the military service and the like.
 This friend of the president folded up the book, remarked that the country was not at war, and that already there was too much advice and too little action.

 worked for months, business men, farmers, and five visiting ministers from other towns, gathered in the little church at dusk Friday.
 'We are here to pray for ter- imitation of the business depres- sion," declared the solemn gray haired minister as he strode to the pulpit.
 A total of ss prayers were of- fered before the meeting ad- journed.
 At the end, 90 persons still re- mained in the church, determined to pray until dawn despite the fact they were cold and weary.
 Only few left before II o'clock but by that hour wintry winds were whistling about the unheated church, heads were noddiflg. and the enthusiasm had died down.
 At 2:30 a. m. the praying had not stopped, but not all those still in the church could keep their heads up. Several who went to sleep with their heads on their arms were awakened from time to time and asked to pray some more.
 Kinney himself suggested aban- doning the prayers.
 we have done all the good we can," he declared. "It is not right for us to stay here when you are cold and tired. Go home now, but continue to pray, The only way to end the depressilon is to go down Oh your knees and pray as we have done here tonight"
 The 98 prayers offered covered a wide range of subjects. Business men prayed for better business, CTS prayed for higher crop prices, CTS prayed for higfiher crop prices, and the ministers prayed for bet ter times for everybody.
 70 Lord, grant that all the prayers offered here tonight De granted" was the final word, of- fered by Rev Kinney.
 Amen" the congregation re- sponded.
 Most of the praying was volun- tary. Somebody would suggest a song. Everybody would sing. Then somebody would start to pray. If no one started immediately, the Rev MT Kinney arose and called out name. The person designated responded

New York, Sept. 2e.--The action of Great Britain in determining to discontinue the self-imposed obii- gatiun accepted six years ago. of converting pounds sterling into gold at . rate equivalent to $1.S6 1-2 cents per pound has long been recognized as q heavy respon- sibility that was proving very ex- pensive to Britain, and could not well be continued except at a cost too heavy to warrant the outlay involved in the policy. It was a mistake from the beginning to ignore, in so wholesale a way, the costs of the war, and to assume so great an added burden of debt as that involved in decreeing that a monetary unit which had gone as low as $3.19 should be artificially accepted as worth nearly 50 per cent more than that figure when offered at government offices for redemption by those who wished to export specie. However, when became a proposal that must not be

GERMANS VISIT FRENCH GRAVES
 OF WAR DEAD
Flock to Cemeteries of Famed Western
 Front

Paris.-Just IF years after their wartime invasion of this country, throngs of Germans are Hooking to the western front of France. But theinvasion this year is essentially a peaceful one, for they are cona ing to visit the graves of rela- tives who died during the great war and are buried in France.
 German sources report that more than 100000 German fami- lies are visiting graves in France and Belgium. Heretofore, small parties have made similar pilgrim ages across the Rhine, but an ex- tension of the movement has been seriously handicapped by the un- cared-for condition in which the majority of the German graves had been left.
 Dilapidated wooden crosses sticking up from clumps of weeds and struggling grass have now, by arrangeemnts between the Ger man government and the atthori- ties of Great Britain, France and Belgium, been replaced by tablets at the head of each neatly trimmed grave. The same care has been extended to the German war cemeteries that has characterized the upkeep of the war graves of those who fell fighting for the allies.
 With the German graves no longer in state which made those visiting them blush with shame, more and more German families have been visiting these cemeteries.
