A very small proportion or our people seem to fully realise what being at war means to the United States. America is not yet thoroughly awake as to the Importance or the consequences to ourselves of the struggle into which we have lately entered. Very few seem to realise that the preservation of civilisation and freedom the world over is at stake. As a nation we feel quite comfortable In our trusted lm munlty from attack. Probably if a portion of the Oerman fleet were to break through the waif ot steel In the North Sea and succeed In crossing the Atlantic, shelling some of our eastern cities, we should then stand up and take vigorous notice, but thus far we have become accustomed to the unseen protection of the BrltUh fleet, and our sons are not yet giving up their lives In the trenches or coming home maimed and disfigured foi life. As a people we certainly devoutly wish to avoid these painful reulltieo, and up to data our shocks from the war have been limited to the loss of a few lives and ships from submarine warfare. Yet genuine realization of the perils now facing us seoms con fined to the irovernment. to those en gaged in our defense und to-relatively few of our leading business men. In all probability something will happen ere long to dissipate this npatny anu bring us to a keener smite of the hage task before us. France has given us a magnificent example of patriotic sacrifice. Kor nearly three years Great Britain with a population of about 45,000,000 has been carrying the brunt of this battle for freedom. Her fleet has not only Insured us from Invasion, but has kept the seas open and free for our foreign trade, the loss of which would have been an In calculable Injury to our economic wel fare. She has further raised an army of about 6,000,000 men, helped finance her allies to the extent of about 14. 600.000.000 and aided In feeding the starving millions In Belgium, Armenia and Serbia. She is certainly doing more than her share, and as we nave been the principal boncflrlarles. It Is but Just that we should give active support In return. France is weary. Kussla unsettled and nniy tnouaou. while we are fresh and strong. The call across the sea has come, and we must reply by spending our energy and resources to the limit. Our young mnn r readv and only too anxious to defend their country s nonur m doing their share for liberty ana de mocracy against blind autocracy. Our industrial leaders are co-operat-in- with the B-overnment In every pos sible way and without regard to per sonal sacrifice.

While no oltielul announcements have been made, It is understood In trade circles that soverul large con tracts for supplies were conaumma ted recently at prices whlrh bore no suggestion of opprssslon on the part of the federal authorities- Another favorable fartor of the week was the let-up In liquidation of rails and utilities, although motor Is sues were under Increased pressure. Betterment In rails was ussisted by more encouraging crop prospects and a well defined belief that the Inter state commerce commission will soon accede In part to the demands of the railroad companies The change in the stock market came more Immediately from the loan made by the government to Rus sia. Prior to that development change on Petrogrsd declined to a new low level and Russian bonds became acutely weak. Investors continued to show much uneasiness over the course of revenue legislation, affirmation by the lower home of the retroactive clause af forded an excuse for much realizing in the later dealings of the week. Issuance bv the treasury depart ment of another $200,000,000 of cer tificates and the disbursement of ad ditional moneys to this country's al lies created no change In domestic monetary conditions.

But it is nigiiiy !'' obvious reason mat mo ,., .iri. nnhlio. suDDOrt. The popu lar purse always opens slowly. The .io nf nther nations at war thnt t the start public sub- vrpiniiniu were comparatively Ten, rnnlrllv as the struggle pro .nd nubliii interest became awakened. The first British war loan had considerably less than a million subscribers- ""he second, over a mil lion, and the third. In 1917. had over five and a quarter million subscribers. In Germany with a population of 67. 000,000. the first war loan had over 1.000,000 subscribers, the second, 2. 700,000; the fourth, over 6.250,000, ond the fifth, or last, S.800,000 par tlrlnant!! From this experience. It will hardly be safe for us to depend upon too large a popular subscrip tion on the first Issue. Later issues may bring better results. In this country subscriptions will have to come chic-flv from the accumulated savings of large business concerns, from monled institutions and banks. The people cannot bo expected to draw very largely upon their deposits In snvincs banks: nor is that dealr- nhle. since it would compel the mar kcting of high grade securities. It must be remembered that we are not in the position in which Great Britnln found herself at the beginning of the wnr nhle tn sell lanre amounts of nrH ocrnrltlps to rich outside buyers T-feaw Rcllinsr of domestic securities to subscribe for these bonds would nnlv result In unnecessary and un desirable depression. Congress is moving slowly and con fusedly in its discussion of revenue and other problems raised by the war. The tax bill Is still unsettled, but the tendency seems to be moderate some of the extremely drastic measures at first proposed! It certainly appears unwise to put undue taxes upon ex cess profits and thus cripple produc tion and Impair investment power for the new bond issue. Excess taxes should be based upon average profits and more normal conditions than ex ist at present. Tne country is quick ly adjusting it.self to new conditions, and Industrial activity is belnar rapid ly diverted to war purposes and to In dustries, which will strengthen the country for meeting the struggle Into whlcn It has lately plunged. The food outlook Is brightening somewhat. Crops are likely to bo larger than at one time anticipated. Railroad prob lems are in a fair way of adjustment, although the transportation lines are still working under tho disadvantage of low rates, heavy expenses, taxa tion, etc. Public service corporations are facing similar difficulties. Anoth er element of encouragement Is the prospect of improved relations be tween capital and labor. The war has already revealed the solidarity of in terests between both, and will in ail probability do much towards dimln Ishinar the, misunderstanding and un justifiable antagonism that has so long existed between these elements. Bo far as the war i concerned prog ress has been in a measure retarded lately by the disorganized state of Russia, the revolution having evi dently temporarily weakened her mil itary ability. Recent news, however, from that quarter has been much "n" favorable, and this market re flected the Improvement tn a general NEW YORK, May 20. There has been a very sharp advance In the cot ton market during the past week. with new crop months making new high record for the season, although weather conditions have been improv ing. October contracts for Instance. sold at 20.28 during Friday's trading, making an advance of 128 points from the low level of Tuesday and of nearly $10 per bale from the low level of last week. Sentiment was nervous and unsettled during the earlier part of the week, owing to unfavorable news from Russia and an expectation that rising temperatures In the south would bring In better crop accounts. There was. little or no selling at tributed to hedging of either old or prospective new crop cotton, but after touching 19.50 on Monday, October contracts broke about half a cent un der liquidation and scattering pres sure. The smaller amount of ocean tonnage reported sunk for the pre vious week, suggested that the addi tion of American naval resources to those-of the allies, was beginning to tell In the submarine campaign and would open the way for Increased ex ports.
