BONDS ARE STEADY
ON QUIET MARKET
Better Grade Issues Go
Through. Narrow FIuctua-
tons in Light Trading.
BY ALEXANDER HENDERSON,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, April 25.-Narrow fluc-
tuations among Tic better-grade issues,
sharp changes in a number OF more
or less speculative obligations and quiet
trading generally were the principal
features of the bond market today.
The average price of 80 leading is
sues was unchanged, indicating steani-
ness among the more representative
bonds.
Railroad obligations were irregular.

gains were made by bonds of recognized
good credit rating. The Cairo division As

General Theaters Equipment Is and

The reduced volume in both issues was
another indication that the recent SELL
ing pressure in them had been reduced.
Paramount Famous asky IS closed at
a new low, at 80. Goodyear Tire SIS

industrial issues were principally frac-

were narrow.

be made punctually in regard to prin-
cipal, interest and sinking fund. Bel

Rushing through Life
(Raleigh Times}


DR.. J. Powell Tucker, pastor
of the First Baptist Church,
spoke a parable in his Sunday
sermon when he declared that
one great fault of the day is
the speed at which everything
is moving.
There is a consuming desire
present today to get everything
finished as quickly as possible,
to beat the other fellow to some
place One result is the mount
ing death toll on the highways.
But as deplorable as these acci-
dents are they do not represent
the most harmful effect of our
modern speed.
In the rush through life peo-
pie rise to the surface just as a
speedboat skins the water.
They know little of the deeper,
finer things of life. There is
small time for constructive read
ing. for art, or the development
of musical appreciation.
Weight plays an important
part in speed and the natural
result of a people striving after
it is lightneSs. As the demand
for speed increases, it brings
shallow minds and nimble feet.
The world needs to slow down

ly held in this country from
1914 to 1919. that Germany was
the sole villain in the drama,
has been considerably modified.
The revulsiOn against one-sided-
ness in one direction has led to
One-sidedness in the other, and
some writer's have gone to the
extreme of portraying Germany
as an innocent and helpless vic
tim of the malace of England,
France and Russia-as lover
of peace forced into war.
Most people realize now that
for many years before 1914 the
conf1agration was being pre-
pared by reckless and selfish in
terests in all the great nations
of Europe, and that if the muir
der of the Austrian prince at
Sarajevo. had not occurred some
other incident would probably
have lit the torch. But it seems
to us that the revelations of the
last decade, the diplomatic notes
and the private letters and the
memoirs, have rather tended to
fortify the belief that, as far as
the immediate cause was con-
cerned-the actual precipitation
of the war in 1914-the German
rulers were more to blame than
the men in control of other gov
ernments.
For their contribution to the
argument on war guilt the
memoirs of Prince Won Bulow,
Just published in the English
translation, are particularly in
teresting and important. Won
Bulow was Imperial Chancellor
from 1900 to 1909 He was
bosom friend of the Kaiser, and
no man in all Europe was more
thoroughly conversant with the
statecraft Of the pre-war era.
Walter Littlefeld, veteran
commentator on European poll
teal affairs, reviewing the
memoirs in the New York Times
says: "The fact that they re-
pudiate convincingly Germany's
claim to freedom from war guilt
overshadOws all other cOnsidera-
tions,' and he quotes this from
the influential newspaper, Vor-
waerts, of Berlin: when Ger
many shall formally demand the
elision of the war guilt article
in the Versailles treaty, foreign
statesmen can simply hand our
diplomats a copy of Prince Won
Bulow's memoirs as a sufficient
answer"
Here is what Won Bulow
writes:
"On July 25, 1914, it was still
possible for us to avoid war. 1t
would have been sufficient to de-
clare at Vienna that in no case
would we authorize the rupture
of relations between Austria
Hungary and Serbia before hav-
ing ourselves examined with
care the Serbian reply, that if
Austria proceeded to military
operations against Serbia with
out our authorization it would
be at her own risk and peril,
| that we would not come to her
assistance, that we would aban-
don her to her fate. After ex-
amining the Serbian reply we
should have declared that we
noted with satisfaction that,
thanks to the wise advice Of the
Great Powers, the Serbian gov
ernment had subscribed to al
most all the Austrian proposals.
We should have proposed at the
same time to submit the points

Political Leaders Deny

HAVANA, April 11.-NegotiationS

cal difficulties took a new turn TO-
dav when a report was circulated
that the new policy Of friendllness
toward the opposition Nationalist
party on the part of President Ger

Of a suggestion from Washington.
The runor was denied in authori-

Other sources gave more weight
to the rumors, particularly in view

would be that the Nautilus propel-

consider it fortunate accident.
For even if the submarines ice

There would be no alternative, but

What benefit of any sort can be
