KARU SOLID BUT HESITANT No Lack of Basic Confidence Appears in Business Circles. PEACE TALK DROPPED Many Stocks and Bonds pf Varied Description Quietly Absorbed During Week. New York. April 2-The Sun's weekly review of the financial situation tomor row will say: Although early spring has resolved It self Into a season of hesitating sentiment In financial and business ielei, lack of hasie confdence does not show anywhere In the market-places.

They may be precipitated by disturbing events but unless monetary and commercial fact of customarv validity have lost their trustworthiness. anything in the na'ure of reaction and setback will prob ably prove only preliminary to a re newal of constructive endeavor. Condi tiofns exist which make for a persistence of forward enterprise in spite of acI dental or nrrmal Interruption. Wall Street attention. which a fort night or so ago began to engage Itself with the portents of peace in Europe. seemed suddenly to have discovered last week that the subject was still an aca demI rtddle nf the future.

Slenderly built, with delicate, flower-like faces, they yet can show an Amason like strength that surprises the men. "D'ye hear that the government reckons three of us as only equal to the work of two men?" cried a dainty, town-bred miss indignantly. "Just wait till I show them what I can do!" Later on, the farmer who employed her spoke. "That girl's a wonder!" he declared, "and so are all the women I employ.

"I worked for ten long yea's to gather tip the money to uiild that home. I called it my Dream Cottage -and I was happy in it." "When war broke out.

"I wrote him letters, too, long ones for even in a Dream Cottage you can be lonely-and then he sent me his photo graph. Such a handsome young man! That photo hurt me because I knew that a man like that, if he ever saw me and how homely I am-well, it wasn't nat tral that he should care for a little dowdy thing like me.

I brought him here to recover in Lae use Moorland air. The Dream Cottage was like heaven for both of us." There was a pause. The little seam stress gazed at the ruins. "Shattered hopes and a shattered heart," she said. 'That's all that's left me of the Dream Cottage and the Dream Lover. I was out when the Seppelins came. If only I could have died with him." The heroism and endurance of the Brit ish women out in suffering Serbia have been remarkable. Women doctor# and nurses alike have labored night and day for the wounded. A young Scottish girl. Dr. Gertrude MacLaren, who was a member of the Third Serbian Relief Unit, has just related her thrilling experiences to me. Along with a party of thirty doc tors and nurses. she took part in the wild flight of the Serbian army through the wilds of Albania and the winter-bound Montenegrin mountains. "The sufferinas of the Serbians are ter rible." she said. 'I had been working for months at Karguievats, and we were overwhelmed with wounded! They came in thousands. aid as our accommodations and staff were extremely limited, It was a case of working night and day. "When the woundtd arrived, there were no motor ambulances nor cars to convey them to the hospital, and only for the severely wounded could any kind of con veyance be procured. Thb others, poor souls, had to hobble along on foot as best they could. Supported by their com rades. they staggered liito the hospital in streams, and the townspeople, worn out with typhts and privation. had grown so accustomed to terrible sights that such .peeacles aroused no interest!" More dreadful times were yet in store for the Serbians. Fleeing before the ad vancing Austrian army, hundreds of women and children fell in utter exhaus tion by the wayside and lay In the mud and snow till death mercifully claimed them. "Our party. which followed the retreat ing Serbian army and civilians, had a pretty rough time." sairl Dr. MacLaren. "For eight weeks we trudged along, gen erally soaked to the skin and up to the knees In mud, sleeping out in the open always. Our feet were so Sore that some times we had to remove our boots, car rvIng them In our handu. To procure food on the road was pr tIteally an im possibility. The Serbian soldiers are ex perts in the arts of fl-id cokery and pre pared dishes from the careases of oxen. For the most part, we lived on black bread-and dreadful stuff it is! But we were so hungry that we would have eaten anvthing. Once or twice, for a period of over twenty-four hours, we were entirely without food. "In order to escape the approaching Euligarians. we had to turn north and make for Ipek. At that point. the most de."perate part of the trek had to be faced. the wearv tramp over the snow clad Montenegrin mountains! "Imagine days of walking, footsore and weary on narrow, precipitous tracks oil which th,-re was barely room for a pack horse atid two people walking abreast' We had to grope our way in snowstorms. too, where a single false step would have meant death! "The scenery was magnificent, though we were hardly-in a frame of mind fully to appreciate it. Great ravines lay be low us, and snow elad mountains towered to the vcry heavens. Such Itonderful sunsets' Sich cold. splendid dawns! We slept out In the open, of course, wherever a suitable spot was found, and I shall never forget the songs sung round the campfires in those wild hills. When the day's tramp was over, and we sat ex hausted round the campfires on a freez ing night. with eerie calling and crying of mountain birds and beasts around us, and the rush of the wind in the preci pices xiving a vague alarm. 'liome. Sweet Home' was our favorite-and few of us thought we ever would see home again! "One night as we lay on the summit of a snow -clad mountain, trying to forget our sorrows. a pretty Irish nurse sang that dear old ballad. 'Sweet Vale of Av oca.' I shall never forget the echo of her swer-t voice down the wild hillsides, nor the comfort awl courage her song seemid to bring to US. *'Toward the end of the long journey, tne feninine portion of our party ob tained shelter In a little Albanian house for one night. True, twenty-eight of us were crowded Into a tiny room about fifteen feet square, and it was impossi ble to turn or move all night-but at least we were warml" On the top of a London motor bus the other day, I witnessed an amushig Incident. Two bearded Russian gen tlemen were talking in their' native tongue when a stout lady boarded the vehicle. She seated herself near them. and as the strange sounds fell upon her ear, she grew quite apopletic with indignation. Finally she could contain herself no longer, but, turning to them. cried in loud tones: 'For shame! How can lou Germans alt talking there?' ('Ourteously bowing, one of the Rus sians doffed his hat. "''Madame," said he: speaking in inglish. "your ear is not a musical one and falls to recognize tonea of the voice-for Russian* is a sweet and liquid tongue, while German is guttural and not half so charming!" Farther on, I had a glimpse of the D1-henss of Marlborough in her car. The chauffeur was a lady. and she drove with great skill. darting in and out of the tratfic in a surprising way. The pop ularitv of the woman chauffeur is great iust now. Salaries. of course, are not high. the maximum being about $10 a week, generally with board, and, to be gin with. the fair 'chauffeuse' may only get $,. But the work is interesting. and there's a great rush to the British School of Motoring by pupils eager to learn. A fee of $20 entitles you to stay oft at the school until you are quite proficient as a driver of several kinds of cars and know all the rulej of the road and can undertake all the minor repairs yourself.

TALKS ON VITAL POINTS Lecturer Introduced by Senator John D. Works, Who Dwells on Bene fits from Scriptures. "The subject that we are to con sider has to do with issues that are vital to all mankind, with questions that go to the very heart of human affairs; questions which. by the way. involve consequences as important to those who may have given them lit tie or no conscious attention as to the most profound thinkers along such lines." The foregoing was the opening statement made by Frank Bell. C. S.. member of the Christian Science board of lectureship of the mother church in Boston, in a lecture on "Christian Science" delivered in Poll's Theater yesterday aftertoon under auspires of the local Christian Science churche. It was Mr. Bell's first lecture in Washington and he was greeted by an overflowing house. He was in troduced by Senator John D. Works. who spoke briefly of the benefits that had come to mankind through a cor rect understanding of the Scriptures. Mr. Bell said In part: "It is obviout. that an intelligent and good God could not have made evil, and that to attribute to evil any other positive source is equivalent to contending for the impossible theory of there being more than one primal cause or creator, the conclusion nec essarily is this: That evil is not an entity at all, but a negation. This may be illustrated in a simple way. The Overthrow of ignorance. "1noiance is one of the most pro nolInced types of evil. A very consider able proportion of human endeavor is directed to the overcoming of ignorance. Thousands of schools and colleges, hun dreds of thousands of teachers, the tre mendou, facilities of modern printing. publishing., and distribution, are devoted largely to this service. The profession of the educator is honored among men. and the business of education Is sup ported by untold wealth of public and private funds. And all this vast expendi ture of talent and time and treasure is directed against what? Against igno rance. nothingness. "Would the educator succeed if he were to regard that against which he con tends as a positive thing. with a real source and an actual presence and pow er? In there a school anywhere whose curriculum includes a course of instripe tion in the origin and elements of igns. rance? What would be the opinion of a college or university founded upon the theory that the best way to make a pupil wise is to keep his attention fixed on the Opposite of wisdom? Though all educational effort i] exerted to the over coming of ignorance, such effort is based on full recognition of the fact that ig norance is not of Itself anything, h merely the lack of something. and thit the one practical way to dispose of lack is by the positi.e process of supplyihg the needful thing. plekuess Not to Be Ignored. "Sickness is a phase of evil which needs to be considered from the stand point of evil's essential negativeness, if it is to be handled intelligently. This of course does not mean that the practice of Christian Science consiats of reiterating in the patient's ear that there is nothing the matter and he should just forget it, as we yet oc casionally hear. even In this enlighten ed period. What it means Is that if the sick man has been thinking dis ease to he Fomething that it in fact is not, his difficulty doubtless lies very much in that direction, and he will be helped, not harmed. by learning to see disease for what it is. He needs not to shut his eyes but to open them. "For instance. it would be difficult to conceive of anything more depress ing than for the victim of suffering to believe that in some unaccountable way divine purpose is being accom plished by means of his painful ex perience. Therefore one of the things the sick man needs to know is that his Maker is not a party to his undoing. not in the remotest degree. With that thought clearly implanted in con sciousness the Journey healthward has been well begun and the succeeding stages should follow in natural se quence. He needs to know that since infinite intelligence in its very nature could not be the author of sickness, and since there is no other power that could be its author, the basis of sick ness, like ignorance and other forms of evil, must be nonentity, or nega tion, not something but the absence or lack of something. Clean 'Thoughts and Health. "In view of what has been here said it should be evident that Christian Scien tists have no fanatical objection to drug medicines, or other material curatives, as such. The Christian Scientist dispenses with material medicines under no species of compulsion, but as a matter of volun tary choice, based upon observation and experience. If material remedies were capable of doing all that is claimed for them by their moat enthusIastic advo cates, they would yet fail to meet the requirements of the Christian Scientist. for the reason that the whole system of materIal medicine is devoted solely to [physical conditions which the Christian Scientist understands to be only effects, not causes. 'There is a mass of evidence of a direct and particular nature to be found in the individual testimonies of healing in the offcial publication of the Chris tia~n Science Church. The Christian Science Journal, for instance, has been published monthly since 1233, being now in its thirty-third year. 'Ihe Christian Science Sentinel, issued every week, is in Its eighteenth year.
