Washington, Nov. 17.—While the forces of destruction are being mobil- ized in ever-increasing strength in the warring countries of Europe, con- struction agencies, public and private, are at work on this side of the Atlan- tic and resources of peace are being concentrated to’ overcome the effects of the world war. All information reaching government departments here indicates that the gloom and de- pression which overtook business en- terprise in the United States when the war storm burst is slowly drawing aside and glimpses of present and coming prosperity are visible, The hopeful outlook for American ventures was summarized today, by Secretary Redfield in a letter to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in which he declared: “Let the worst be said and admit- ted that’can be said respecting exist- ing business difficulties in America, our condition still remains not only relatively bright, but rapidly improv- ing And in many respects both pros- perous and promising. “The payment of our foreign obli- gations is no longer cause for serious worry since an import excess of 20 million dollars in* August has been changed to an export excess of ap- proximately 60 million in October. This favorable process continues and there is every indication that it is The deficit in our bank reserves in New York, which was as low as 43 million dol- lars m August, rose to a surplus re- serve early this month of nearly 18 millions, The course of exchange has become more normal. Clearing house certificates are being retired. Large sums of emergency notes have been withdrawn and with the opening of the federal reserve system great ad- ditional supplies of loanable funds have become available. There is no longer serious concern over our finan- cial future. “One can look back calmly now to the first weeks of August, when there was a wheat embargo which some | feared might mean sad loss to many of our farmers. Those same farmers are prosperous today, for wheat ex- ports have been unprecedented in amount and at profitable prices.” 1 WAR-WORRIED HIM TODEATH Or.

He was born in Leip- zig in 1863. Professor Fluegel’s death cut short a monumental work on which he had been engaged for twenty years. This was a compilation of what is known among philologists as the ‘great Chau- cer lexicon,” the plan having been or- iginated by the late President Furne- vall of the Chaucer Society of London. | The work, which Professor Fluegel had elaborated to include old and mid- dle English words generally, had pro- gressed only as far as the letter “H,” making two huge volumes. It had long been apparent that Professor Fluegel would never be able to com- plete the dictionary. Professor Fluegel possessed what it said to be the largest and most com- plete personal library of old and mid: dle English books in the world. GIANT SUBMARINE FOR U. S.
