Address by Dr. .Sykes.
The address of the occasion was
delivered by Dr. E. W. Sykes, pro
fessor of history and political science
in Wake Forest College. He an
nounced as his subject, "Reservoirs
of War. or Cisterns of Strife," and
with but a brief introductory plung
ed into a discussion of the causes of
the European war.
Despite its ignorance of the espe
cial purposes of the occasion. Dr.
Sykes' address was heard with the-
closest attention. He declared that
cien have failed to sense the loca
tion of the causes of strife. There
are reservoirs of coal, water and
knowledge, he said, and as truly there
are cisterns which, tapped, yield an
outpouring of war. Wars have al
ways existed and the greatest is in
progress now, and the hope of a last
ing peace is in the razing of the
landed aristocracy of the world and
the advancement of democracy.
London is owned by nine families;
or at least, the land on which it is

BUSINESS CLAIMING THEIR AT
TENTION AT MONTHLY
MEETING THIS WEEK.
"I am persuaded, however, that
much more prominent in the minds
of all was the idea of expressing our
appreciation and gratitude for the
unselfish labors and devoted service
of the men and women who surren
dered their lives to the higher edu
cation of the young women of the
state. It is perfectly natural for our
thoughts to center around the man
who labored so thoughtfullly, so
thoroughly, so earnestly and with
such unbounded energy that you
young women might enjoy the op
portunities and privileges which you
accept today so naturally that it
hardly appears to you that conditions
might be entirely different, if he had
not lived and labored for you. We
shall not, however, forget others,
both living and dead, who in their
several spheres did their part during
those early days heroically for the
upbuilding and development of this
college. Possibly no institution any
where has a finer. or nobler heritage
than your college possesses. For this
reason I find it impossible to put
away from me on this anniversary oc
casion the feeling that we have met
to consecrate and dedicate our lives
to making more and more effective
as the years go by the great work
the beginnings of which were
wrought by others. It is my sincere
hope that it is in this spirit and with
this purpose that we enter upon the
exercises today.

whichhas been before the board for
several months, came UP again and
the petition was granted. The road

ANOTHER HOSPITAL IS
: PLANNED FOR GREENSBORO.
UATTERS OF INTEREST TO THE
HEADERS OF OTB ; PATRIOT
FAR AND NEAR,
For i some time the question of
building another hospital in Greens
boro has been discussed , and at
meeting of physicians and other rep
resentative citizens Tuesday night
the movement took definite form. It
was decided that another, hospital is
needed in this city and that it should
be built as early as possible.
The meeting was held in the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce and
was presided over by Mr, E. P. Whar
ton, with Mr. F. C. Boyles as secre
tary. Amo5g those who JMned in the
discussion were: Rev. Dr. C. W.
Byrd, Rev. Dr. Melton Clark, Rev. R.

Dr. C. W. Mbseley, Dr. H. H. Dodson,
Dr. J. W. Long, Dr. J. L. Mann, Mr.
R. R. King and Mr. A. Li. Brooks.
There were suggestions that the new
institution should be a union Prot
estant hospital, to be built and sup
ported by the Protestant denomina
tions of the city, as St. Leo's is con
ducted by the Catholic Sisters of
Mercy.
It was made plain, however, that
the movement for a new hospital is
not to be considered in any sense as
a protest against St. Leo's hospital,
the work of Which was highly praised
by those taking part in the discus
sion. Mr. R. R. King, one of the trustees
of the estate of the late Moses Cone,
whose will provides for the erection
at some future date of a million
dollar hospital in Greensboro, gave
assurance that the plans of the Cone
estate would not be affected in any

Members of the New York, Stock
Exchange have taken action to curb
the nation-wide speculation in so
called war stocks whose1 rapidly soar
ing values have led a runaway maz
ket. through a million and a million
and a half share days. ' .
Banks, trust companies and finan
cial houses of New York, fearful of
a sudden break in values, have ap
plied pressure on stock exchange
houses to diminish if not entirely
end the riot of speculation. Many
stock exchange houses responded to
that pressure by notifying their
clients that they would have to
double the amount of their margins
in these specialties.
When the demand, for more mar
gin was made many buyers were un
able to comply with it and a wave
of selling orders swept over the ex
change, carrying stocks down from
4 to 15 points.
Official cognizance of the situation
was taken by the stock exchange at
a special meeting of the governing
committee. It was the unanimous
belief of the committee that some
thing should be done at once to
curb speculation. The demand for
more margin seemed to be sufficient,
for the first step, so the committee
decided simply to sound a warning
by calling the attention of all stock
exchange members to certain resolu
tions already In force and, which
are aimed at undue speculation. ' '
