PEACE OUTLOOK
STRENGTHENING
A part of tile weakly financial
report by Henry Clews & Co., of
Keyv York, for tie week ending
September 1, says:
Liquidation, in tlie stock market
lias now continued Willi slight in
terruption for several weeks. This
downward movement was based en
tirely upon disposition to discount
price fixing; upon the injurious
offsets of au exesesive profits tax,
aud upon tUe growing prospects of
Ceace.
It will be months, however, be
fore any treaty of peace can be
bigned, and months more before dis
bandruent is possible of the various
armies, which meantime must be
fed,clothed and equipped.
Peace prospects are strengthen
ing. The crumbling of Austria as
a result of the splendid Italian, vie
tories is imminent. The Allie# are
also wearing down. their opponents
on the Western front; while Ger
many seems unable to carry on any
vigorous movement against Russia,
except through intrigue. Germany
is beaten but not broken. Pre
sumably her government will not
yield, except to military defeat'
without or to political pressure
within, which. % steadily, growing.
President Wilson's answer to the
Pope's peace proposals was magni
ficient spirit and sound in policy.
It clarified the issue between Ger
many and tho Allies; so that every
American can easily understand for
what wo are fighting.'
Leave your old shoos at
Kennedy & Co., or with Bar
ter© & Son, and they will be
shipped to the women, chil
dren and old men in the de
vastated! sections of Belgium
and France.
