some one gives them one In the eye.
I cannot understand why this gentle
man should make himself, every morn
ing, so miserable.
Which brings me back to my original
question: Why do novelists write now
els? They write them, the correspond
ents Of the Daily Press inform me, be-
cause Of a desire for fame, because Of q
desire for money, because Of desire
to do people good, because of a desire
to do people harm, because they can't
help 1t and because they have nothing
better to do.
Discards Fame as Object.
These seem to be the reasons, and
will say at once that think that all OF
these have something to do with it, but
that only one Of them has really any
thing to do with it.
For fame? That Is certainly a good
reason. Why should man not desire to
be famous? There seems to be q gen.
eral shyness about admitting such o
thing. "Oh, no." says Mr.. Blossom, the
well known novelist. Pane Is the last
thing that have in mind. If one or

Author OF America Comes Of Age"

A MEXICAN civilization expresses
" more than any other in the en-
II tire world the idea Of material
4 4 progress. At the same time,
largely due to the war, the
United States has become the richest
and most influential country.
In a word, she has become world
power, a term which until quite lately
we used only for a few countries in
Europe. This fact, really new, has re-
suited in some problems, also new,
which We did not have before the war.
What are to be the political relations
of the United States with the rest OF
the world as a result Of this? And
what is to be the effect of the American
concept on Western civilization and on
human civilization in general? There
are no questions which affect Europe
more directly than these. They touch
the private life of each individual.
Until very recently the United States
has enjoyed a very exceptional economic
independence. Foreign countries have
needed her more than she has needed
them. If We consider, for example, the
exports from 1885 to 1890, we ascertain
that "a per cent Of them we're raw
material and only l6 per cent were

easier to sell raw products than manu-

America looking for products of the
American soil. AS a result the impress

States-and this was far from being
false-but that the United States did

NEW YORK, 1)ecember 22.-While
most domestic bonoS, particularly rail-
road obligations, moved substantially
higher today there were few soft
spots in the list. For the most part
foreign dollar descriptions were higher.
Trading was in small volume compared
with the $4,000, ,OOO-to-s $50 ZOO, 900 days
that have ruled in the paat fortnight.
The opening was firm. Canadian
bonds ran up l to points inn nediately
following announcement that olnadlan
banks and financial houses had agreed
with the Canadian government to re-
fuse to sell American dollars for the
purchase of securities outside CanA1a.
While not official this amounted to-. a
virtual embargo on the export OF Ca
madam capital.
Canada As Of 1860 rose 2 points,
Canadian National issues were up to
2 points better, and Canadian Pacific
issues and Canadian Municipals all
had run-ups as purchasers hurried the
filling of their orders before the agree
ment could become operative. Later
these advances were shaded as the de-
mand for Canadians dropped off.

tionally higher and were turned over
in quantities. Some other Europeans
also were strong, notably Denmark
AIS, which gained 3l2 points, and some
of the German utilities, such as Rhine
land Westphala Electric 6s.
Siemens G. Halske 6l2S were also
strong. German government bonds. on
the other hand, had fractional declines.
Assurances made by bankers to the

negative results of the Basle Commit
tees decisions relative to Germany S
finances and the unremitting demands
of the French for reparationS.
japanese issues were off ! to 2 points
because of the renewal Of the Man
churian crisis. japanese 6l2s dropped
points.
Toxic 5l2s, Yokohama IS and most
of the japanese utilities were also low
er. Oriental Development IS, however
were points higher ~
Bonds were strong at the opening
Reports persisted that an agreement had
been reached between various banking
houses to support bond issues in which
they are interested.
The strength was most noticeable in
the rails, where there were gains of
