MONDAY. AI GI ST IX ! Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record. Iway ealon for every phase of Southern tradition and welfare, sounds warning to the moral forces of the South lhat the national encampment now being established In onr midst are challenged them to meet the dang era that will attend them. Soon near one million men, most of whom are strangers to the South, will be gathered in the camps within onr reorders. " In the course of this article Mr. Edmonds says: "The million or more young men who during the next year or two will be brought into the South and trained for the army will be morally as well as physically better or worse as a result of -being encamped in the South, ac cording to the way in which the moral and, the religious forces of this section meet the responsibility. "It is incumbent upon every man and woman In this section to recognise that this is the greatest responsibility ever placed upon this section. "It is a responsibility Individually to the men, who should be regarded as 'guests of the South and treated with every possible courtesy and considera-1 tliin anil nrAtontajl lha lltmnut AY. ' tlon. and protected to the utmost ex treme from every danger and temptlP tion. "It is a responsibility which - the South owes to the parents of these young men, that they may know that. In this land which has been credited--and we trust justly with patriotism, with hospitality and with devotion to morality and religion, these sons of theirs shall be as safely guarded as if in their own homes. ' "It is a responsibility which this sec tion owes to the nation and to civiliza tion that these million or more young while lu-ttuv-SMntb shall b' pro tected from "every possible' evil,' that they may be trained physically, ment : ally and morally to be equipped for the mighty task to which the nation and civilisation have called them." ' . A writer in the American Magazine states that the poor are getting rich in England and that the rich are get ting poorer. He says that the people, as a whole, are earning more, spend- lug more and saving more than ever before. Wages were never so high nor work so plentiful. The rich who are not Interested in favored manufactur es are suffering through heavy taxa- . tion, but the working classes are pros pering. The writer says: . "Thousands, even millions, of fami- lies find themselves richer than they had ever dared to hope. The posses sion of surplus wealth is a novel sen sation to them, and it is natural that they should want to procure the com- .. forts, conveniences and luxuries this . wealth can buy, even though they are appealed to from every billboard and pulpit and newspajer to save their money and buy war bonds. The conse quence is that pianos, phonographs, low and medium-priced jewelry, silk rai- 1 meat, custom-made - suits, expensive shoe, fine cigars, the better grades of foods, motorcycles, and even low-priced automobiles, are bought more exten sively than in times of peace, while, it must in truth be added, the consump tion of drink in England and Scotland increased lamentably."

Saturday in its leading edi torial defended the Simmon' -revenue bill and condemns the bill re ported bv Majority Leader Kitchin.

'W me uuriuaiioii in priccK. oerum was active during the earlier part of the period owing to the continued strength of the spot situation, com plaints of draiiirht damasre to the crop in the southwest, and a more op timistic view ot exiNirt possibilities. Reports that new construction of ocean tonnage was increasing and that exporters were m the market supplies out of the local stock to till out August shipments, contributed to the bullish sentiment.

Private repor's in Texas were onlv partially confirmed bv the official weather news ot rridav. but improving crop accounts from other sections were much in evidence, and sellers showed increased confidence. A more hoiielul view of peace pros pects was considered a factor in the enrlv week advance but the attention of the trade seeemd to be chieflv oc cupied bv conflicting reports, the strength of the old crop position, an1! uncertainty as to the inftueni'e of the approaching new crop movement.
