U. S. ASSURED OF PROSPERITY, SAYS ARMOUR

CHICAGO, May 16. The United States Is on the first ware of a tide of brsiness activity and Industrial pros!eiity never before experienced. ,No matter what the duration of the war, there is not going to be even a tern- . rorary depression. The United States will suffer less than any other nation 1 in the world war. These were some of the points made by J. Ogden Armour yesterday In an interview in vhlch he was asked to discuss the economic condition and future of the nation. "The prompt adoption by the American people of the 'business as usual idea Is going to enable this nation to prosecute war without experiencing a temporary depression such as England and France have recently recovered from," said Mr. Armour. "Modern war reouircs the expenditure of huge sums of money and means maximum employment and high wages for all wnrkan ruher conditions, necullar

to this war, make It certain that this nation will enjoy a period of business and Industrial activity the Kke of which has never been seen and which Is assured whether the war lasts several months or several years." "But suppose people become overcautious as the result of the preaching of war economy- then what?" he was asked. - No Reason for Alarm "There is some reason to believe," he answered, "that economy rules will be misapplied for a while, but conditions are such that the public will soon see, if they have not already, that there Is no occasion whatever for them to become alarmed. They" will have more money to spend than ever before and they will not find the things they want disappearing from the market. "Continuation of the great prosperity that has ruled In this country for two years is assured. There is an abnormal demand for everything the workers of this nation can grow or manufacture. There is work at high wages for every man and woman who wants work; the earning power of the people Is restricted only by physical limitation t the bavin: nower of the

public is greater than ever before. ThA ar certain guarantees of con

tinued prosperity and of an ever widening scope to our business and Industrial life." "How about the billions of dollars we are lending to our allies?" he was asked. "Wouldn't it be better to keep that money at home?" Releases Billions Here "I am glad you mentioned that," replied Mr. Armour. "As a matter of fact, It is a misnomer to call it a loan to our allies. We are primarily extending them credit. Instead of sending them billions of dollars out of the country, the transaction means that billions of dollars will actually be freod for circulation in this country. Practically all of the billions we lend our allies will be spent in this country for the products of our soil and our factories and for payment of our v.orkers."

CHAPTER II Delhi boasts a round half-dozen railway stations, all of them designed with regard to war, so that to King there was nothing unexpected in the fact that the train had brought him to an unexpected station. He plunged into its crowd much as a man in the mood might plunge, into a whirlpool laughing as he plunged, for it was the most intoxicating splurge of color, din and smell that even India, the many-peopled evett Delhi, mother of dynasties ever had evolved. The station echoed reverberated hummed. A roar went up of human voices, babbling in twenty tongues, and above that rose in differing degrees the ear-splitting shriek of locomotives, the blare of bugles, the neigh of led horses, the. bray of mules, the Jingle of gun-chains and the thundering cadence of drilled feet At one minute the whole building shook to the thunder of a grinning regiment; an instant later it clattered to the wrought-steel hammer of a thousand hoofs, as led troop-horses danced Into formation to invade the waiting trucks. Loaded trucks banged into one another and thunderclapped

their way into the sidings. And soldiers of nearly every Indian military ca6te stood about everywhere, in what was picturesque confusion to the uninitiated, yet like the letters of an index to a man who knew. And King knew. Down the back of each platform Tommy Atkins stood in long straight lines, talking or munching great sandwiches or smoking The heat smelt and felt of another world. The din was from the same sphere. Yet everywhere was hope and geniality and by-your-leave as if weddings were in the wind and not the overture to death. Threading his way in and out among the motley swarm with a great Hack cheroot between his teeth and sweat running Into his eyes from his helmet-band, Athelstan King strode at ease at home Intent amused awake and almost awfully happy. He was not in the least less happy because perfectly aware that a native was following him at a distance, although he did wonder how the native had contrived to pass within the lines. The general at Peshawur had compressed a ton of miscellaneous information into fifteen hurried minutes.

but mostly he bad given him leave and orders to inform himself; so the fun was under way of winning exact knowledge in spite of officers, not one of whom would not . have - grown - instantly suspicious at the first asked question. At the end of fifteen minutes there was not a glib staff-officer there who could have deceived him ss to the numbers and destination of the force entraining. "Kerachil" he told himself, chewing the butt of his cigar and keeping well bhead of the shadowing native. Always keep a "shadow" moving until you're ready to deal with him is one of Cocker's very soundest rules. "Turkey hasn't taken a hand yet the general said so. No holy war yet. These'U be held in readiness to cross to Basra in case the Turks begin. While they wait for that at Kerachl the tribes won't dare begin anything. One or two spies are sure to break North and tell them what this force is for but the tribes won't believe. They'll wait until the force has moved to Basra before they, take chances. Good! That means no especial burry for me!" He did not have to return salutes, because he did not look for them. Very few people noticed him at all, although he was recognized 'once or twice by former classmates, and one officer stopped him with outstretched tand. , "Shake hands, you old tramp! Where are you bound for next? Tibet by any chance or is it Samarkand this time? "Oh, hullo, Carmichel!" he answered, beaming instant good-fellowship. "Where are you bound for?" And the

ether did not notice that his own question had not been answered. "Bombay! Bombay Marseilles Brussels Berlin!" "Wish you luck!" laughed King, passing on. Every living man there, with the exception of a few staff-officers believed himself en route for Europe; their faces said as much. Tet King took another look at the piles of stores and at the kits the men carried. To be continued

Heaven on a dark morning. e

Keep this agreeable thought in mind as you read about the new Lucky Strike cigarette. Because the tobacco it's toasted: and what that toasting does to the delicious Burley flavor! My I There's been a big demand for a cigarette readymade from Burley tobacco. Last year you had to pour the Burley out of those green, red and blue tins enough for 35 billion cigarettes. But until we made this toasting discovery a readymade Burley cigarette wasn't possible -we couldn't hold the flavor. But now! Well, just try itLucky Strike the real Burley cigarette; the tobacco it's toasted.
