In view of what that organization accomplished, it might I pvttprtpfl now to test from its labors for a while. But it is plunging right in on a in preparation tor it is asking fund of SW.000.000, There should be no queston of raising this money. Anybody who knows the record of the Salvation Army in France will be glad to contribute to the limit. That record, ks most people realize, was by no means confined to the distribution of doughnuts, though the importance of that particular service need not be minimized. The loyal men and women shirked no duty and avoided no danger. They ministered to the body and soul, and did it so unobstrusive ly and effectively that one may search through all the comment on this war activity, from all services and find nothing but appreciative praise. There is still some work for them to do in France, and more for them to do in America. Their plans for providing substitutes for city saloons are receiving much attention now, and there are other important tasks. Their past achievement is sufficient guarantee that they will give at least as much benefit for $1:5,000,000 as the nation has any right to expect. FOREIGN LANGUAGE MEETINGS. Mayor Hylan of New York City in a recent letter to the Board of Aldermen proposes an ordinance to curtail the rights of persons to make speeches in a foreign lan guage advocating the destruction of the government. He points out that if such addresses were made in English their meaning would be plain to the great body of loyal English-speaking citizens who would at once pro test and start protective measures. Mayor Hylan also urges the forbidding of those who RIPPLING By Walt DETROIT.

His letter savs in part: "We must not allow those who have not been in this! country long enough to learn our language, or who are not j citizens, to abuse our hospitality by endeavoring to incite obegon i anarchy. The Constitution gives our citizens the right to assemble and to speak freely, but I do not believe it vas i5t I intended to protect aliens in an effort to tear down th J5! Stars and Stripes." I It is precisely in that borderland between the use 1 and abuse of free speech that most of the harm is done to i our government and laws. Mayor Hylan has put his fin der upon the weak spot.

BRAZIL AND THE An interesting sidelight on the -much-dreaded German trade invasion of South America, comes in an interview recently held wth Dr. Pessoa, president-elect of Brazil. Dr. Pessoa has been making a tour of France and Belgium, and has been greatly impressed with the ruin wrought by Germany to the industries of those countries, especially Belgium, feeling that to both countries restitu tion in kind for destroyed and stolen machinery should be made by Germany. There is great hostility Germany", says the doctor eAteuu economic anu ponucai reunions wun me auies. To carry out this policy will be one of the tasks of my ad ministrator We will no longer deal with Hamburg, se lecting Antwerp in its place." And so it goes. Germany, resenting bitterly the well deserved peace terms imposed by the Allies, will find as time goes on, everywhere she turns, the inevitable reaction to her brutal method of waging war. Lies are not the only birds that can come home to roost. Some of these days the hens wi'l get discouraged with laying their regular daily egg year in and year out and still failing to lower the price. The Germans say they are getting peace only at tht point of a gun, which may be truebut some of them seem to forget that they first pointed the gun. Probably congress will accept the peace treaty with out much grumbling now that it is pretty generally known :hat President Wilson is not particularly pleased with it. It seems more than likely that the Bolshevik revoU will fail just as a similar uprising did in Seattle. The Germans want more time in which to sign the peace pact but they will sign just the same.

Our imports from Germany 1 Million share days have followed; tnav bo small for the simple teaoueach other consecutively fur about a that tiermany lias little to scud: inner rumors to the contrary. Our foreign trade as a whole will, however, will receive a freh impetus through the re leac of a larger tonnage for mercan tile purposes, even though a big por tion will he required f or n ringing home our army. (Mi the other hand more (i.'rman shi,,s will be released, and the world's shipping is being aug mented by intensified building in all parts of the world, the total under con struction now being ab.itit 7,"SHi,OU0 gross tons, of which 5, ."4 1,1100 tons nre in the I'nited States and 2,2"1," tons In the I'nited Kingdom.

The number if fji'g'. banks that have opened branches in t.iis coun try and, vice versa, th-' number of m try and, vice versa, the number of Am erican institutions that have opened offices abroad is much larger than commonly supposed and shows the drift of preparations. Our financial re sources, however, are sure to be taxed to the utmost, for home demands will be even niorp insistent and sure to command first consideration. The only remedy will be for Kurope to stop fightiiijj nnd get busy producing those articles which can be exchanged for American food and other produce. For eign trad ia wimply tarter, and pay ment in desirable goo, Is is tar more satisfactory than payment in gold sc ciirities or various forms of credit. Solve the RaMroad Question fongress will open Monday and its most important problem atter organi- X will be the railroads. The situation uf this vast interest retptires immedi ate attention. It represents about -0,-nO(l,IHMI,(HIO of capital and approximate ly ono tenth of our national wealth. Were it not for the fact that they are backed by the United States treasury, our railroads would be in a bad way. which is really not the fault of the railroads themselvt or the lack of freight business. Before the war the drift was wen and when the stress or mobilisation was lidded tlieir n'un- down was to be expected. 1 he war nas onlv made tlieir position worse thru heavy increnso of expenses, wnicn raised operating costs to the ruinous ratio of almost 9.". per cent. In the venr before the war under private innnnu'eiuent, gross earnings were Slt. 0(1(1,1100 and net 214.00fl.ll0: while this year, under governi it management. tli ii net was onlv r.u.wm.""". niuvi;" gnns mounted to 1,10!.000,000.

Added to this is the physical deterioration of the roails. ag gravated bv war, which will fall for heavv outlays in repairs. Congress may take'earlv action in restoring the roads to their' owneis, which according to promise the government must do in a good condition as when taken over. The railroads will in due season be put on their feet and their general stat us strengthened. The lesson has a clese benrng upon our efforts to bring other public utilities such as wire service, trollov. lighting companies, etc.. un der public ownership. It has been prov ed very effectually that private, enter- prise, with all its taints, gives "-!,'- ..,! ..ticuiicr service than the govern menl. which almost invariably compels the taxpaver to pnv the loi-scs Taxation and the Money Mart.

There is no prospeet of allevi ating the latter, unless the governmen enforce drastic economies, of which it show, no evidence, l'rivste economy is eipu.il v necessary, but of that, too there are few sin.

High interest I rates are to be expected until deflation month, and on c'iiieMruv the total i transactions reached l.iHKi.tHiO shares, the highest since IHI ". At eriods tha 'market experienced mere or less profit taking, in lured largely by stilr' uing of money rates. Copper shares showed temporary strength, owing to the ad - vauce in ilver. Meels recovered fair ly, being stimulated by better reports from manufacturing centers. Shipping shares a,lvaner,' bccutisi of the pros IK'rity of both shipbuilders and ship owners, with good prospects of its con tinuance. Koports of good business from nearly all sections of the country, iii'lustrinl and agricultural, also gave the market a confident undertone. Hail road shares came in for increased at tention, owing partly to the expecta tion of belter gloss earnings, but main ly because of the belief that congress would soon give needed legislative re lief, nnd that the government in due time would and mast return the roads to their owners in as good condition as when taken over. Favorable en.,, ad vices and other satisfactory business conditions served to maintain confi dence in the future of the market de spite realizing and occasional soft spots Much of tho speculative buying cams from the west, where fuudu seem abutiil ant and optimism runs strong. .More new security offerings have been put on trie? market during the last two weeks than at any time since we en tered tho war, desirable issues being readily absorbed. The one cbataele to a more active and higher market is the monetary situation. This will hear close watching. The teiuorary advance of mil loans to per cent was a warning that should be heeded. This market will undoubtedly go higher eventually; but there is danger in pres ent overbought conditions', and liqui dation in certain quarters would really strengthen the situation. Preparations for payment of tho first installment of the victory loan on Tuesday next may have been a factor in the rise of money rates, and there is the possibil ity of the federnl reserve bunks ad vancing their rediscount rates in order to discourage excessive speculation. There is no reason for taking other than hopeful views of the security mar kets; but buyers will have to discrim inate more sharply .if thev wish to avoid tho increasing probabilities of sharp setbacks. AVhen those are over a further general ndvance niuy be look ed for. Washington wilt again be on interesting factor when congress opens. rt r. K Y t'l.KWS.
