NO OF WAR IS
THOUGHT III SIGHT
Strengthening of Allies and
Weakening of Germany
Will Have Effect.
II j Ifonrj Orw-4.
NEW YORK. March 26. rJreat
events are movlns; with lishtnlnfT
rapidity. Kussia. has been reborn:
(erninny is visibly weakening; the!
allies are strenrthenlnjf: the United
States le prej-arintf for war; the
railroad ..trlke paf.ecl into history,
an.i the supreme court has sealed
the constitutionality of the Adam-j
Fon law. All of these events are of
irrt importance. In ordinary times
they would have commanded the
most intense attention, accompanied
perhaps by considerable excitement, i
As it is, this rush of developments
has been taken with comparative
almnes-, and there was a notable
absence of agitation, explained by
the fact that Americans are pre
pared to face the.ae crises and will
continue to face them as steadily as
other nations have done.
Unless all signs f nil. we have
reached the beginning of the end In
the world's greatest tragedy. Tur
key is practically beaten; Austria is
almost impotent; Germany is re
treating, and her submarine and
Zeppelin methods of warfare are a
practical failure. Not a few well
informed authorities maintain that
Germany Is anxious to end the war.
The most effective lines of coopera
tion for the United Htates would be
with the allies, individual action
being Impractical and inadvisable,
is no alternative; we must cooperate
and rumors of peace are once more
in the air, while evidences of grave
internal dissensions among the cen
tral powers multiply daily. At the
same time the allies are increasing
their ascendancy every day. Great
Hrltaln is at the zenith of her pow
er; IUisMa has been invigorated ly
the revolution: the French spirit is
higher and stronger than ever, and
Italy, too, seems to have taken on
new energy. Of course, Germany
may he able to maintain the strug
gle longer than expected, but only
at the cost of more ericus conse
quences to herself; and the entry of
the United States into the war will
certainly hasten the end.
Mut Decide Srii.
Our own government mut at
once decide just what pari we shall
play in the great struggle- in which
we are about to paitlcipate. There
tl) it suitable and active us; of our
licet, which ranks third in the
world; (2) furnishing financial aid
and munitions on a liberal scale;
and ( the preparation of such an
r.rmy ua we may be able to create
;nd utilize before the conllict ends.
In all probability, peace will be
attained before v could make and
transport on arm., of any consider
nhle strength across the Atlantic.
The magnitude of such a task is not
appreciated by those who glibly talk
of sending over an army of a mil
lion men. .Months would be re-
uired to train arid equip them, and
tliH war may be over before they
will le ready. U.etween two and
three hundred voyages would be
rccessary to carry them, and in ad
dition, a great Ileet of transports
would '! employed conveying muni
tions, food etc. We could readily
afford considerable help by the cre
ation of a large mosquito lleet as
protection ngalnst submarines, as
well as by providing a large and
thoroughly up to date aeroplane
: ervlce. Probably the most ettlcient
aid we t-ould render the allies would
be in the continued making of mu
nitions and in giving financial aid.
W'e might easMy cooperate financial
ly, if our government would lend Its
credit by agreeing to take a large
block of foreign bonds, say a billion
dollars, issuing our 'wn in place
thereof. Such a transaction would
be eminently sound and safe to the
investor, and would be a simple form
of lending the credit of the United
States for the purpose of bringing
the war to an early conclusion.
The grand result of the war to
the liusslan people is worth all it
has cost them in blood and treas
ure, as the Almighty has evidently
ordained that It Is hereafter to be a
government after our own hearts
of the people, for the people and by
the people; and that other nations
engaged in the present war may fol
low the example of Ilussia is a
consummation devoutly to be
wished" for the good of the human
race. A government that permits
of a man like Abraham Lincoln to
rise from the ranks of the common
people to become the greatest lead
er of the American people, through
the great gifts with which God had
endowed him. is a grand and glor
ious one, and should be an exam
ple, for all other nations to foliow.
America welcomes the people of
Russia Into the fold.
XocM ,( Years of Peace.
If the great powers now eits.ud
in this stupendous struggle at the
end of the war will agree to a p?:ue
listing jO years, they can so hrvin
cb'.oy redeem themselves as tc be
able to pay off within tha. :erio 1
their present entire war indebted
ness through the moneys saved b
the reduction of their armaments
on land and sea.
Indeed, the cost of the present
war. if spent for the public good,
would make a Garden of Kden of all
the countries involved, and wouid
;-bol:sh poverty during this genera
tion If used in that beneficent way.
The decision of the supreme court
In upholding the constitutionality of
the Adamson law .will have far
reaching consequences. As it gives
congress the rieht and power to reg
ulate both the railroads and their
employers in their functions as
quasi-public servants, the decision
re!irc the nernment from an
cmbar raising situation at a highly
critical period, but at serious ex
pense to the railroads. Doubtless
the government appreciates such a
result, hence there Is good reason
to expect that the interstate com
merce commission will advance
rates sufficient to compensate for
these Increased" outlays.
War preparations will, of course,
compel Intense activity in the muni
tions industry. Immense quantities
of military equipment will have to
he turned out with all possible
speed. Not a few Industrial plants
have already been offered to the
government, and industrial mobili
zation on a stupendous scale will
Boon be In active progress. This
means a sudden and urgent demand
for many commodities, and the
withdrawal of so many men from
productive employment will natur
ally aggravate the scarcity of labor
and tend to increase wages. Dur
ing such upheavals
more or less
What the ef
trade will he
friction is inevitable,
feet upon our foreign
remains to be seen. 1
Our exports should continue upon 1
a large scale, if efforts to supply the
allies with munitions are main
tained. -Mobilization of railroads
an 1 Industry is well under way, and
American financiers, I am quite
sure, are well prepared to give our
government all financial aid needed.
What the rate will be remains to be
seen; it should be within 3 to 4 per
cent, as these bonds would be in
demand for trusteeships and other
fiduciary purposes. In the present
state of the capital market, how
ever, when the strongest govern
ments in the world are paying 5 to
6 percent and over, the United
States could not expect to place a
big loan at ordinary peace rates.
It could, however, place a substan
tial loan on much better terms than
any other country in the world.
Of late the call for new capital
from domestic quarters has been
less urgent, and considerable of the
new financing has been in foreign
securities; the latest examples being
the Urench loan for $100,000,000
which is being readily taken, and
a forthcoming Canadian loan of
$150,000,000 which will also find
ready purchasers. Our national
hanks are In exceedingly strong po
sition, and well able to meet all
contingencies likely to arise; backed
as they are by the federal reserve
banks which hold 800,000,000 in
gold ready for any emergency.
Under such a mass of conflicting
conditions, it is impossible to fore
cast the trend of the stock mar
ket. Technical conditions are
sound. Activity In steel, textiles,
minerals and collateral Industries
continues at top speed. Our exports
are heavy; gold imports continue;
funds are plentiful; our banks, as
already said, are In good shape;
spring with its natural stimulus is
close at hand, and war with its in
flationary tendencies, is already
making Itself felt. On the other
hand it should not be forgotten that
peace is drawing nearer each day,
and the end of the war Is not far
distant. When that longed for
event comes, there will be an end to
many of the activities based upon
that set of conditions. Peace will
bring its offsets and an extensive de
mand for reconstruction purposes,
but the reversal of such tremendous
forces or their cessation cannot but
profoundly affect the whole econom
ic world. Some lines of endeavor
will quiet down with the coming of
peace, others will become more ac
tive, and the discounting of new re
adjustments will doubtless begin be
fore the event arrives.
HAFDWARE MARKET
SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES
Pecause Germany, Holland, Den
mark. Norway and Sweden will all
be under the necessity of restock
ing with hardware when the war is
over, the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, of the department
of commerce, has Just published a
report on the character of goods
required in those countries and the
possibilities of getting some of the
business for American manufac
turers. Before the war Germany was able
not only to supply domestic de
mands for harwarc, but to carry on
a most flourishing foreign trade.
The probabilities are that, with the
exception of a few lines that Amer
ica has always supplied she will
again be able to supply her own
markets when the war is over. The
Scandinavian countries, however,
which have always purchased cer
tain lines of hardware in the United
States, will be promising lields for
pushing American trade. The re
port is made up of discussions of
general conditions governing the
hardware trade of each of the coun
tries mentioned and of detailed de
scription of each article successful
ly sold In the markets.
In connection with the investiga
tion by the American commerci.il
attache at Herlin, upon which the
report is based, an extensive col
lection of samples was purchased.
These samples will be exhibited in
the principal manufacturing centers
of this country and then added to
the bureau's permanent exhibit at
the New York customhouse.

Entertaining, to say the least, is
the bill at the Orpheum for the first
half of this week. All of the acts
on the program are worth while and
as a whole the bill is a little bit bet
ter than usual.
Iyma's Hawaiians, billed as the
sweet singers from the land of Alo
ha, are the headliners, but the act
is not as good as other Hawaiian
numbers that have been seen here.
Pesides the usual nathe songs of
the Hawaiian islands the entertain
ers sin several of the latest ila
waiian numbers that are quite the
rage in this country these days, Nat
urally, there is a hula dancer with
the troupe.
Julie Kin.; & Co. pre.-ent a com
edy sketch called ' Twice a Week."
The scene is laid at the gates of a
cemetery, giing the piece a rather
gloomy start, but as the act devel-
ops it turns into a very clever little
skit. rook and Urpnz tun M
known comedians, have a tramp
comedy act that is laughable. Their
stuff is really funny and there i:3
not a rough line in it, something out
of the ordinary.
Louis London pleases with his
character song studies. He has an
excellent voice of wide range. John
son and Arthur are billed to do
magical stunts, but their baggage
failed to arrive for the Sunday aft
ernoon show and one of the two
did some plain and fancy card
tricks. If the two magicians are
as good as the one who did the en
tertaining with a pack of playing
cards Sunday afternoon, the act
sure is a good one.

In "The Pride of the Clan" Miss

Tomorrow Henry It. Walthall,
supported by Mary Charleson, will
appear in an intensely interesting
drama called "Purning the Candle,"
the story of a young man whom
liquor drags to the depths of deg
radation. It's a great temperance
lecture. Another feature for to
morrow is the appearance of that
clever French comedian. Max Lind
er, in his second American release,
called "Max Wants a Divorce," and
it is said to be full of fun as his
first picture which was entitled
"Max Comes Across" and which
made a big hit here. Still another
attraction will be in the way of a
new organist from Chicago, Mr.
Si. amp. sent here by the Kimball
Or'an Co., and who will play here
indetinitely.
4SIS HOPKINS."
Over four or five seasons is a long
life for any play, as well as for the
continuous popularity of any act
ress, particularly whn taken into
consideration how easily the theater-going
public allows its fancy to
shift from the drama to musical
comedy and vice versa. Yet there is
not an instance where the engage
ment of Pose Melville in her eccen
tric creation of "Sis" In the now
famous rural comedy-drama, "Sis
Hopkins," is not looked upon as a
treat by all lovers of what is pure
and wholesome. It is quite a fact
that the name "Sis Hopkins" is al
most a household word, and the en
gagement at the Oliver Tuesday and

of the most successful of the sea
