NEW YORK. september 27.-Re-
porting continued expansion In wool
goods buying, the New York Wool Top
Exchange in its weekly summary says
large and increasing number of mills
have sold up their output for the next
two to three months.
The mills, it was asserted. are being
forced into position where they
must pare down orders and allot goods
to customers on the basis of initial
purchases last season.
While this situation is particularly
noticeable in mems wear markets, it
is also spreading to the women's wear
field, according to the service.
BOSTON. September 27 CPD.-The
Commercial Bulletin will say tomor-
row: THE market has slowed down
this week appreciably. Prices are
generally firm, however, and on me-

facturers have sold ahead for two to
three months and apparently have

Liberal Viewpoint
by HARRY ELMER BARNES

MOST military critics and historians believe that
Iva for Mussoini risk war against both Britain
and France would be nothing short of insane. Yet
MuSsolini, with his warnings for the restoration
of the Roman Empire, may be looking back hope
fully to the time when "one of his Italian boys
turned the trick"
The great Roman military genius, julius Caesar
entered Gau in Marcy SO B. c. and in decade he
had conquered a country with population of 10
millions though his own army never averaged
above $4,000 men. While lacking unity the Gauls
could muster much larger number of men, But
the Gallo decided the basis of the
widely different methods of warfare employed. The
Gauls were brave, but they had mastered of
the arts of war.
Against these brave but chaotic warriors Caesar
brought of the best disciplined and best equipped
armies of ancient times His soldiers had
formidable equipment in machines of war, such as
catapults towers, projectors and the like for siege
purposes. The Roman soldiers had far better iave-
Inns, swords and armor. And while the Gallo army
camped carelessly wherever it stopped at night, the
Roman camp always thoroughly fortified.
Never during Caesars whole 10 years in Gau did
the Gaus capture Roman camp
WITH his superior if less numerous soldiers,
w Caesars conquest of what is now France
devastatingly thorough:
The wars in Gaul had lasted 10 years" wrote
Funck Brentano. the eminent historian Caesar had
taken by assault 300 fortresses and subjected 300
tribes he had fought against three millions of the
enemy, leaving million dead and taking million
prisoners. What terrible picturei"
AS an nciden5 of his Gallo wars, Caesar made
two victorious foIays into the Island of Britain.
Though the British tribes we're aided by Belgian
allies who had come from northern Gaul they
were easily and decsively defeated by Caesars
legions.
Caesar did not, however, have time to occupy
all of Britain The formal and complete Roman
conquest of Britain achievement of the
Emperor Claudius, the result of victorious
in 43 A. D. Here again superior training and equip
ment counted for more than mere numbers and
personal bravery
Since Roman days victory of Italy over either
France or Britain has been all but unthinkable.
This has been especially true since the development
of the Overwhelmingly powerful British navy. One
may wonder if we are at another turning point when
Italy may have chance. Has air warfare pro-
crossed far enough to make naval predomt-
indecisive and the protection of warshipS
relatively inconseuuenal? Only war can decisive
~ answer this question.

The DIE is CAST

.CUNDAY morning came the
~ last Sunday of that peace
which the President had striven
courageously, if perhaps mistaken
ly and too tardily, to maintain.
In Vienna, Count Czernin was
devoting it, by a rather tragic
irony, to public call for a con-
ference and a negotiated settle
ment among the war-Weary peo-
pies. In London Mr.. Page was
pouring out another of his end
less letters:
THE Administration can save
itself from becoming a black blot
on American history only by Wig
orous actiOn-acts such as these:
-. We must 60 III with the Allies
We must sign the pact of
London not make a separate
peace. Cd The Navy-full
strength, no 'grapejuice' action.
CD An immediate eXpeditionary
force, CD A larger eXpeditionary
force very soon. (4) A large loan,
at low interest. 60 Ships, ships,
ships. 60 A clear-cut expression
of the moral issue"
The day wore on The bellicose
Lane was writing happily to his
brother The die was cast. Even
in the Far West they were stand
ing behind the President, for Mr..
Lane had collected Geographic
reports on the local feeling there
and the replies had all been in
that sense.
At about the same hour the
freighter Aztec. the first armed
American merchantmen to sail
from the United States, was
laundering in the dusk and
stormy sea off the island of
Ushant. She had been torpedoed,
efficiently and without warming;
one of her boats was smashed in
launching and there was heavy
loss of life. Her two fve-inch
naval guns-our first answer to
the U-boat-had not fired a shot;
their crews had not seen even the
track of the torpedo, much less
the submarine which discharged
it,

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

IF you have to coax force, your child to eat
you'd better find out first what causes the young
ster's liStleSSneSS at the dinner table
You may rest assured that child's natural ten
dency is to eat for it gets hungry quite frequently
and wants to satisfy that hunger. But put some
obstacle in its way, like some emotional activity,
and the chld'S stomach will revolt.
If the child gets extremely angry, or too excited
or laughs too much, it will not come to the table
with the appetite that it would have if these emo
tionS absent Any excitement at the table, such
rs loud talking, playing of radio program in which
the youngster is interested, or fatigue will
inhibit the appetite.
Often a child is called in from active play and
made 10 sit down Immediately at the table You
shouldn't be surprised it, under such circumstances,
the child fails to eat.
IN one family child seemed to have appetite,
Il and vomited Immediately after eating the little
food it did take. Investigation revealed that it's
nurse lntimdating and threatening the child
before it got to the table that it would get the
food down. but result of emotional stress, would
yomit it Immediately after.
Sometimes you will find children who will not
eat at home. but who develop tremendous
appetite elsewhere That just shows that the lack
of appetite is due to nhbitions associated with home
conditions.
Sometimes children will not eat because they have
been so pampered from babyhood that they
simply will not do anything for themselves.
A good way to get children to eat is to provide
them with good examples. If child sits at a table
where the father will not eat one food and the
mother will not eat another, you can't blame it for
refusing any food that does not appeal to it.

RUSSIA'S GEAR ADVOCATES

ON March Is the Car of Russia
~ abdicated, and the news of
the Russian revolution reached
the United States. Germany had
won the greatest, the most nearly
decisive, victory in her whole four
years of effort.
Yet so strong were the Entente
pr0pagandaS and so imperfect was
the American understanding of
the war that it was received by
our public as only another augury
of the early success of the Allies.
Was not "autocracy" the great
enemy, and had not the unusually
extreme form of autocracy in
Russia always constituted one of
the most obvious and embarrassing
weaknesses of the allied cause?
1t was so no longer.
The czarist court, it was now
everywhere discovered, had
throughout been pro-German at
heart; its overthrow would only
release the full energies of the
Russian people and nerve their
armies to fight with redoubled
vigor for freedom, justice and
humanity.
On Friday March Is, there
came the startling discovery of
something that looked, in the
heated atmosphere of the mo-
ment, almost like revolution in
the United States.
The powerful railway brother
hoodS-key trade unions which
did not belong to Mr.. Gompers'
A. F. of L,-had been waiting for
the Supreme Court to determine
the constitutionality of the Adam
son eight-hour law, a Federal en-
actment which they had won
some time before under threat of
a strike.
1t was known that the court
was about to hand down its de-
cision. On Friday evening the
railway unions abruptly called
their strike throughout the ma
ton, with the demand that the
provisions of the Adamson act be
granted them by the owners re-
gardless of the constitutionality
of the law.
On the verge of a war in which
transportation would be all-im-
portant, 1t was an unnerving
crisis.

Today S Science

MAN must change his role from destroyer to con-
lN1 server if he expects to maintain his place in
the sun as the dominant creature Of the earth. This
is the warning sounded by Prof Walter P Taylor,
senior biologist of the United States Biological Sur

The ability which has to upset the balance
of nature is a temporary advantage, but in the end
will prove disadvantage unless he is wise enough
to take a long view of the future.

UNITY IN THE CABINET

A CCORDING to Mr.. Houston,
L 4 it was the President himself
at the regular Tuesday Cabinet
who opened the discussion by ask
ing fatty whether he should adj
vance the summons to Congress
and what he should say to it.
There was silence, until Mr.. Hous-
ton sprang into the breach.
Germany is now making war
on us. We ought to recognize
that a state of war exists. What
can we do? We can get a big
Army and Navy started. We can
further prepare financially.
First of ALL find out from the
Allies just what aid we can most
quickly and effectively give.
We were drifting. Call Con-
gress and ask it to declare that
a state of war existed. War
could not be waged mildly"
Secretary Baker thought that
Immediate steps should be taken
to raise a great Army and
that universal training should be
lnaugurated." Secretary McAdoo
supported Houston. Lansing said
little or nothing, as usual" Will
liam B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor
and one of the pacific faction.
said that he had reluctantly
made up his mind that action had
to be taken. We were at war"
Secretaries Gregory and Redfield,
also of the milder wing, "eX-
pressed the same opinion" Two
remained; both had been neSitant
in the past.
The President said: 'Burleson,
you and Daniels have said moth
ing
"Burleson replied quietly: We
are at war. I am in favor of
calling Congress at the earliest
moment
Daniels gave us the views of
the naval experts"
The Cabinet, as Secretary Lane
put it, was Eat last unit" Con-
fronted with this unanimity
among mis- advisers, the President
appears to have said little. When
they broke up they did not know
what his decision would be. But
next morning small doubt re-
manned.

TINE chamber had never wit
4 messed an ovation such as
that which followed. The noise
died at last; and as the President
