' ; DISARMAMENT AND BUSINESS. In view of the censternatlou which the British goveiirment'a order for cessation of work ou capital warships causad in ship buiTuiiig circles on the Clyde, where the contracts were furnishing work for thcutanda of men, it is a pleasure to note Judge Elbert H-

WATTINa FOR IT TO COME. What do the trade Journals Bay about the business situation. A fw lines from the Boot and Shoe Recorder: . Govern men t ligures show that general retail business is only about 20 per cent less than normal. This means that there is- lota ot business to be had but not enough to go arcuud. The retailer wh waits for business to come to him will quickly be outdistanced by hia "go getter" rival. There is one sure way of building business riht now and that is by constantly featuring the latest, most up-nnd-couilng styles of known values and by pricing them with att.eye to quick turnover. We refer this to the whtner who sets back on his haunches and complains because there is no business.

MERGING TWO HOLIDAYS. The suggestion that the United States combine Armistice day and Thanksgiving day as one national holiday seems worthy of serious consideration. The Increasing number of holidays is interfering with industrial and business activities. There Is probably not : civilized nation that will net enlist to make Armistice day a peace observance for the world, marking the turning point "of international history. Thanksgiving Is the one holiday that is designated by proclamation of the president of the United States, and by custom is observed on the last Thursday of November. - One of the arguments" produced for the proposed combining of the two holidays Is that Thanksgiving day comes so near to the Christmas holiday, am merchants find that little holiday trade may be expected until after Thanksgiving. Fixing the latter holiday

Gary's, prophecy that in the end disarmament will make for November 11 would give business the advantage of for business prosperity. As chairman of the board of about two weeks more. That Armistice day falls near directors of a great corporation engaged in the manu-ithe middle of the month offers an opportunity for a

faetUiof steel, the material which more than any other

enters into arms and armor, his remarks are of extraordinary importance. "If means for the firm establishment and maintenance of peace can be found and generally assented to," he said, "it will mark an epech of the'greatest business prosperity as well as the largest measure of happiness that the world has ever witnessed." Judge Gary showed a spirit well worthy of the emulation of munitions manufacturers the world ever when", he said that even if disarmament a large decrease in stele manufacture, "no sane and high-spirited perwon would consfder pecuniary interest as cf any Importance when discussing national or international welfape." That suspension of work on the English battleships will throw thousands of men out of work is regrettable, but their welfare cannot be permitted to etand'ln the way of the welfare of the English people and of the world. Sir Percy Scott, a naval expert, asserts that the British government's action will save the British taxpayers a hundred million pounds- The effect srhich it will have on the world's morale will be of incalculable benefit.

r, THE SOVIET'S FINISH. Coming from a less known authority than Prof. rauLMUlukov, the prediction that the bolshevik, downfall In5Rus8fa is a matter of months would be greeted with a. great deal- of skepticism. The longevity of the dictatovs'.ip has 'continued to surprise and puzzle the worlcLbut Prcf. Mlllukov says its end is drawing near and t&e final blow to the autocracy of Lenine is to be deliveiied by the famine. T-fie bolhsevik came into power through, promises and ,4ve retained it through making themselves feared. SXtw famine has come a3 the culmination of the jearsfjf misrule. The people, according to Prof. Miliukov, ,' realize that this widespread calamity is not an incident, but a direct consequence of bolshevik malDdmlntetratlon. It can be traced definitely to the confiscation of crops and farm machinery, the discouragenienfjef private initiative and the utter breakdown of the nation's transportation and agenciescf distribution. f he people of other countries who have been responding so generously to Russia'3 need shculd realize that ihile - the experiment in practical socialism has beenJerribly hard on that .unfortunate land, it has provided an object lesson which should serve as a danger signal to warn ethers from such a pernicious counsel It should be a long time before nay other country makes such a colossal mistake as that which has -rained Russia.

change that would be welcomed by most folk, except

perhaps the lazy ones, t whom all day and h:iif day holidays are merely an excuse for knocking off work. A DISMANTLED GRIBRALTAR. The delegates who are discussing limitation of armaments at the Washington conference should turn their eyes fcr a little while in the direction of the island of Heligoland, mighty sea fortress. There Is a bit of disarmament going on there which may serve as an object lesson to all those minds are occupied with this grave question. Seme years ago Ijord Salisbury traded this Island away to Germany. It was then an unprotected and unthreatening little place opposite the mouth of ths Elbe in the North sea. Germany fortified It as a means of protection against future enemies. So thorough was the work of fortifying that It was thought that

neither time nor tide, the two great destroyers of the works of man, could affect It. In 1010 a protecting sea wall 25 feet high, of steel and granite and concrete was built for its protection, and to this were added the huge armaments of war which made Heligoland another Gibraltar. That was 11 years ago; and then in rapid succession there followed one event upon another, bo that today on demand from the allies this fortification is shorn of all its armaments. Guns, docks and submarine quays have all been dumped Into the North sea. The chain of circumstances forged of circumstan

ces and internatknal misunderstandings, of greed for power and lust for conquest, of Imperialism and all the follies bred of it this chain of circumstances has now pulled the fortress down to a Jumble of ruins.

Heligcland, the fortress of the sea. Is no more; once again this little island is unprotected except for the wall of steel and granite and concrete to protect it from the waves of the sea. The millions of dollars Germany expended In this fortification might belter have been thrown into the North sea in the first place; the endless hours of labor and thought given over to this work " might better have been devoted to some constructive task of education or road building or what not to the great benefits

of the German people.
