This is a trinity of nations and ideals that' can be trusted to make the world free and safe for democracy. One of the most impressive results of the war is Our changed attitudo in ternationally; a change which has not yet .been fully appreciated. But take it is we may, we are no longer a recluse among nations-, for wo have stepped out boldly into tha European arena, apendin? blood and treasure lavishly in proof of our determination to up hold great national ideals. Quite un expectedly we developed great power in world politics, lnrgely because of our disinterested position; and it may be :.!o i for granted that we will neither relinquish that power nor shirk its obligations, thy president hae set forth cortain ideals, intended for the good of mankind as much as for ourselves. Dif ficult as they may be of realization, they correctly represent the views of tho American pcoplo, and form one of the most precious contributions of the war toward establishing the future peace of tho world. Mr. Wilson will certainly have the approval of the ma jority of patriotic Americans in his efforts toward establishing n of nations; and even ihml.i he net entirely succeed in his hijM project, he will at lenst have set for h a living ideal which time and common interest may eventually turn iuto a practical .en'ity. '1'iio war quickly changed this coun try from a debtor nntion to next the chief creditor na'ion of tho world; stimulating our .foreign trado to such a degree that in less than five years our exports increased 1"0 per conk and our imports 50 per cent. In even less time than th?,t wo absorbed, net, $.'), 000,000,000 s rarities, and have also loaned to our i l!ic8 about $10,000,000, 00 net. Our nnticr.al wealth is estimat ed to havo increased about 4 per cent; our bank deposits about 50 per cent and our bank .clearings nearly 90 per cent. As a maritime power we have leaped almost, from tho bottom to a good second, having 3,000,000 tons al ready completpd and 13,000,000 tons projected. In spite of the diversion of our economic energies and the conso quont dislocation of labor, we produc ed more than half the world's supply of copper and oil. Of stoel and cotton we already produce vastly more than any other nation. We raised larger quantities of grain and cattle than over in our history, and Mi Hoover has told us that we must send not less than 20,000,000 tons of food this year to starving Erfrope, whicfo can safely bo done without causing any scarcity at home. In truth, the United Btates has found its .If internationally. In foreign trado we are sure of great development. Immense quantities of commodities, crudo products and build ing materials will .bo wanted iu Eu rope for reconstruction, i ranee and Germany can supply 'but little. Britain is already well prepared, and is mak ing a prompt start; but much of her greatly revitalized energy will bo con sumed in tho new development of her own empire. The United Slates, will, therefore, come in for a liberal share of thig now demand. We, too, are mak ing ambitious plans for trade develop ment in Mouth America and the far East, and many new opportunities wil be oponed by this grei. t war. bevcu . of our great banking institutions arc alive .to the future, and American branch banks are opening all over the world. Under the Webb law, dosigncd to permit combinations of exporter, very extonaive preparations are being made, and many largo industrial cor porations havo joined these organiza tions. Small concerns have equai oppor tunity with tho larger under tho Webb law, which was also intended to avoid possiblo conflict with tho Sherman An ti-trust law. During 1919 wo may looK for a largo expansion of exports and a very considerable growth of imports, although tho lattor, under present con ditions cannot be expected to keep pace with tho former, and we shall siil eu tinuo to be a leading creditor nation. Tho only means bT which theso debts can be settled and by which foreign countries can buy our products is for a liberal granting oi credit on uut , ..t also a much wider investment of Ameri can capital in foreign enterprise. This , is a new but necessary departure, i.- .. one that will ultimately lead t to id ' eroaso of national prosperity n..u .... -enee. When war borrowing is ended we-will be in a position to grant tuusv , credits freely, having largo gold a-,, j plies and a- growing income from our foreign holdings, the proceeds of wine i to a very considerable extent can be) profitably employed abroad. i ' Though wo have suffered less and spent less than some of our allies on the war, its effects have in some rc j spects been almost as marked at there Great social and political changes are; inevitable. Some of them havo already occurred, and others wiil follow. Kven now we are unconsciously in a quiet tnd orderly revolution. Extraordinary in cursions havo been made by the gov-1 eminent into businors. Many new func tions were projected, and official activ ities were tremendously expanded into entirely new fields.

"HOBEY" BAKER DIES IN FALL Or' AI'RI'LANE Captain llobart A. Baker, a famous Princeton athlete, known to the college days as "Hobcy" an aviator in the army in France, has been killed in the fall of his airplane. Ho was a famous football player, hav ing been captain of the Princeton te:u;i in 1913. Ho led the college hockey team and thero was not a skater m tho American college who could match him. form or other 'is destined to grow to much wider proportions. Apparentu this is the only means at present of satisfying public dissatisfaction with the mr.nngoment of big business; and if intelligently and efficiently applied not in the prejudiced spirit of the int rotate commerce commission the country may bo saved from the illu sions and defects of government own ership. Industrial demobilization is proceed ins evon more rapidly than the mil- i nry; and tho government will have taken itself very largely out or dusi ness by January lst For months past practically all finance, commerco and vulustry have bee minder stringent pub lie control for purpose ot winning xne svar. By means of price fixing, licensing rnd other methods the government as sumod supervision of nearly all form.' if production distribution, transpor- 'ation ana linance. upon many occas ions such rules pressed hard upon all branches of individual and corporate enterprise, and business men naturally grew reBtive under the delays and un certainties thus incurred; not to speak of the friction and trouble caused by inexperienced and arbitrary officials. All such drawbacks were, however, cheerfully endured for patriotic rea sons, and now our manufacturers, bank ers and merchants, after real exper ience as .to what it means to havo the government in business, are rejoicing over the prompt approach to normal "luditions. At the close of tho year the railroads, shipping olographs and telephones remain under government junuol; and a measure ot regulation over foreign exchange, gold and bank rcditB 's still in existence. Tho gov ernment also holds immense quantities of merchandise which must be sold, and still exercises moro or less control over wheat and meat prices. In other els. however, public regulation has almost completely disappeared. Our most Dressing domestic proDiems during the coming year will be grouped under finance, foreign trade, iaoor, shipping, railroads, and commodity markets. American finances are in bet ter shape than those of any belligerent because the strain has been less, and snurefs relatively greater. ureat Bri ain has assumed a huge load, which through skilful handling and tho var ied resources of her great empire, she is abundantly able to sustain. France, too, is equal to tho heavy burdn thrust upon her; but both Germany and Rus sa rre overwhelmed by inflation, and hreatened with rcpndia ion and bank ruptcy. Thero has, cf course, been con siderable inflation in this country, as is always the case in war; but thanks to our federal reserve system and the rigid conservatism of our bankers we hsve never crossed the danger line. The -fforts for raising such immense sums for ourselves and our allies have been ti anie, naturally absorbing the coun try's savings so completely Jhat little or no eapital was available for ordin ary enterprise This scarcity of money and capital must be endured for srnie months longer, owing to the urgency of after-war requirements, which will neceesi ate a further jwstponement of new ventures. When war demands do cease, a heavy rnsn for eapital must bj expected; and the only check upon in ordinate development will be high in errst ratea ard high commodity prices; conditions which are not likely to dis appear at a very early date. A source of considerable apprehen sion at 'his time is our National Legis lature. Drastic tax legislation, especial ly in the matter of excess profits, hreaens to dry up the chief source of new eapital, which is he cavings rf th well to do. and if the present neas-re is r!wd in i's present fenn Its effect will b to stop new rnte i '- hiy c 's;'eM depression. A more moderate bill should be provid 'd. snrpsdi-g the burden of .taxation over a longr period by bond issue -- d's ribnting more equitably in Ji - where taxes have thna fallen Most authorities now agrea that what we call Spanish influenr.a is simp ly tho old fashioned grip, which was fpidemie here in 1889-90. Tha influen ta germs enter through the nose and mouth and attaek the lining of the air passages nose, throat aud bronchial tube. . There is no cure or specific for thia disease, but nature will throw off the attack, if only yon consorts your strength. A competent physician should always bo called. Tho use of VapoRub does not interfere with any internal treatment and it is now boinj, used by broadminded physicians evciywhere, m order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening tho phlegm .tnd keeping the air passages open, thu tanking the breathing rasicr. Hot, wot towe's should be appli.d over the Wiroat, chest and back between the shoulder blndes to open the :porea. Then VapoRwb should bo rubbed in over tho parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thieknefses of hot flannel cloths. Loavo the clothing loose around the neck, as the hent of tho body liberates tho ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, in!ia'd with each breath carry tho mcdica'.io-i directly to tho parts affected. At th amo time, Vapo Rub is absorbed through and stimu lates tho skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to pixvo that Span ish influenza is a germ disease, spread principally by human eontact," ehicfiy through coughing, gnoezing 0r spitting.' Bo avoid persons having colds wuich means avoiding crowds common drink ing cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of ex ervise in the open air, and good food. KEEP FREE FROM COLES ' Above all, avoid eolds, as eolds irri tnto tho lining of the air passages and render them much bettor breeding places for the germs. Use Vkk 'g VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a sipoon and inhale tho vapors, or better still, nso Vapo Rub in a benzoin eieam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half full trf boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to thnc keep tho kottle just slowly 'boiling and inhale the steam arising. hOTE Viek'g VapoRub. is the dis- . covery of a North Cnrolira druggist, who found how to combine,, in salve form, Menthol and Campnor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptuf., Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to tho body heat, these ingre dients, are liberated in the form of va pors. VapoRub can be had in three siz es at all druggists. Whilo. comparative ly new in certain parts of tho north, it is the standard homo remedy in the south and west for all forms of cold troubles over six million jorg were sold last year. VapoRub is p rhicularly recommended for, children g croup or colds, as at is externally npplLed and enn, therefore, i useu freely and often without tho slightest harmful effects. very lightly or escaped altogether. Thore is also much concern over the tendency of the government to absorb the railroads, shipping, telegraph and other utiliitM, which too effectually throttles enterprise in those directions. Public opinion does not yet warrant any such movo and these tendencies at Washington aro likely to arouse much opposition. Tho future of our railroads is still uncertain. No experienced judge bo lieves they can possibly be run as well undor government ownership as under privato ownership Besides, publie op inion as a whole is decidedly against such a remedy, which is onl wanted by a noisy minority. If satisfactory regulations ca'n be put int0 effect, the call for publie ownership would have no justification. Meanwhile the roads should be returned to their owners as soon as consistent with safety, and in strict accordance with tho promise mado when taken over by the govern ment. The labor outlook has eaused much uneasiness, tho unsettlemcnt induced by high costs of living, war wages bo ing the chief cause. Probably the sit uation will clear itself. There is every likelihood of plenty of employment s't good wages, and a shortage of iabor will bo greatly relieved by return of men from the front. Employers, recognizing Ihe situation, ate generally willing to mako reasonable concessions. The move ment to reach a bettor understanding on both sides through discussion, get ting together, considering tho other point of view, and bearing in mind the humanities of the situation also prom ises to aid tho solution of an otherwise threatening situation. Certainly if a fair and friendly spirit can be estab lished botween capital and labor, in cluding recognition of their eommon interest and co-operation to uch ends, there will bo no serious trouble. i Among the difficult questions ahead is that of shipping. We have built enormous tonnago; and though the war is over the present schedule when built will givo us a. fleet of about 16.000.000 tons of government owned ships. What to do with them when finished ig a vexed problem. Tho have been built at extraordinary cost, from two to three times that of equal ships in Europe, and the government coudl not se.i them except at a heavy loss. As about twj and a half billions havo been appro priated for this purpose, it will be seen the loss must be heavy. If the ships bo chartered to American concerns, tno latter will be handicapped by heavy coBts of operating uiuler wo American flag. It is proposed, then fore, to com pensate tho American owner by ade quato subsidies, which, however, wouid only aggravate the already excessive burdens of the taxpayer, who must then pay for tho losses of operation after supplying funds for building. Thtt is anything but good business for cithct the government or the people For business men tho outlook is prom ising, though confused by the many un certainties referred to. Monttarv rc. straints will have to be cuicrHy con sidered, ginee there is an unusual de gree of inflation in both financial and eommercicl affairs. Commodities aro upon a hazardously high lovel, owing to worldwide scarcity and high costs of production, arid some recessions must be expeeted. Should the declines coma grauuauy, the result will be stimulating to business by aiding a partial return to more norms! conditions In tho ucri enltural regions, there is much prosperi ty resulting from prevailing high prices and in manufacturing districts the same is true, owing to high wages. In conse quence thore should be a wide distribu tion of all the ordinary necessities. What is most needed is a strict conser vation in all important business ven tures, also a wide economy among the publie at large. If theso simple safe guards are carefully followed for the coming year, the effect will bo to strengthen confidence mid way for a eafe and certain recovery. ' HENBY CLEWS. B. D. Allen end W. B.
