London, Dec. 8.—Tn reiterating his former statement that regenerative ) processes are going on in Russia the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post says: “The real Russia is silently and steadily working for reconstruction and the inevitable return to common sense, which we may hope is near at hand.” He adds the Bolsheviki now are being challenged by an organiza- tion calling itself the Union of Anarchist-Syndicatists. Are Under Arrest. London, Dec. 8.—The members of the All-Russian committee to deal with the elections to the constitu- ent assembly have been arrested by the Bolsheviki, a Reuter despatch from Petrograd says. Lenine, Trotzky and the other Maximalist leaders have appointed Moses TUri- tzky commissioner for elections to the constituent assembly with virtually autocratic powers. The Germans, it is added, have warned Russian aviators distributing Maximalist proclamations that they will be shot if captured.

New York, December 8.—The country’s energy is being concen- trated with greater and greater in- tensity upon the war. KEvents on the front have not lately been of a stimu- lating character, owing to the break- down of Russia and the consequent check upon the British at the West- érn front, as well as upon the Itallans in the South. The stoppage of the British is probably only temporary, and due chiefly to reinforcements from the Russian front. There is ino reason for discouragement. Tem- porary setbacks are inevitable; and the Allies are growing stronger each month, while the enemy becomes { steadily weaker. This applies even | more positively to morale than to lphyslcu superiority of the Allies. The German Government knows these facts, but fears to let the people learn ; any semblance of the truth. There is no doubt that the British and French will be able to hold the Germans until our army is ready to make its initial drive and possibly they will make further gains. German generals are evidently alarmed at the ease with which defenses deemed impregnable have been shattered; and are prompt- ly changing their tactics from trench warfare to fighting in the open, which will better suit the inclination of the Allies. As to peace prospects, therc ate no indicatoins whatever of a willing- ness on the part of the Germans to assent to conditions which the Allies will surely impose. Unless Germany yields therc will be no peace pos- sible unti] the Allies win victory. President Wilson in his' spleudid opening address to congress plainly told Germany of our determination to win this war and to reject all peace proposals untili Germany was ready to give ‘ample justice and reparatioa. If his plain language, placing upon German ruleis responsibllity for the terrible crimes of this war, could but reach the German people; and could they but learn the true aims of the Allies, and see how they have been deceived ‘and misled by the brutal, selfish autocracy which governs them, there would be some hope of a re- turn to reason in the mind of Ger- many. Mr. Wilson’s message to Congress will consolidate and strengthen public opinion at home hearten thosc at the front and con- vince the world of our fixed deter- mination to win the war by unre strained use of all our resources. I cannot speak in too high praise of the President’s message. It s most clear'in its condemnation of the wrongs done ty the despotism of those who represent autocracy, but is equally clear in stating frank!y our duty to our allied enemies when they are conquered. The President calls our attention also_to our duty to our own government, and asks Congress for new powers so that the admin tration may cope with the situations as they have developed and will velop, espi situations t abnormal owing to the selfishne greed of unpatriotic citizens own country. The whole teems with patriotism and common | sense and will rank as one of {he greatest papers that ever emanated from the White House. Next to the war and the opening of congress, the most important event of the week was the repart of the Inter- state Commerce commission. While merely suggestive, the report was un- expectedly liberal, although not satis- factory in all respects. It recom- mended that congress suspend the anti-pooling and anti-trust laws, ex- cept in cases of competing roads; ex- arc oi our message needed, and to regulate security sues. The report was disappointing in that it failed to provide for increased rates, and suggested government oper- ation as an alternative. The wholc question will be thrown into congress and will probably be the subject of more or less strenuous discussion. Un- questionably the best plan would he unity of operation; a pooling systen necessary loans with governme guarantee, and such advances in rates | as might be deemed necessary to at least partially offset increased ox- penses. For some time past this market has been suffering quite as much from fear as from facts. The war created | a general feeling of depression which, | if not resisted, undermines confidence, checks buying power and renders it | difficult to measure events at their | real value. Literally the business world today is lnoking through blue glasses. There is no doubt that the war means incalculable loss and sacri- fice, which it is unwise and hazardous | to underestimate. Yet it is time to realize that even pessimism may be | overdone, leading astray those who | vield to fear. The rate of fall in se- | qurities here since we entered the war | is greater than the rtate of fall in Great Britain for the entire three and a half years during which she has been actually fighting. There is a disposition also to forget that this country as a whole is highly | prosperous; that we are much the most favorably situated of all the bel- ligerents; that we are practically safe | from attack; that all our great indus- tries, with few exceptions, are intense- ly active: that our Western farme: and Scuthern planters are enjoving extraordinary prosperity, and that wages are rising to meet the increased cost of food and clothing which would have risen higher had it not been for government rgstraint. Moreover, there is no occasion for unreasonable fear regarding government regulation and price fixing; experience thus far prov- ing that the policy of the administ | tion has been to allow liberal profits on all necessary service, at the same ! time checking unpatriotic profiteer. ing. Any other policy wauld be sui- cidal, for where else can the enor- mous amount of taxes necessary be obtained except from current profits? —to destroy which would be to lose the war. Security values fluctuated consider- ably; recessions usually being suc- ceeded by substantial recoveries. The advance commission plan was not sustained, owing to the uncertainty as to what action would be taken. sion is, of course, inevitable, Some discus- will unnecessarily delay settlement of the railroad problem, which is such a vital factor in our successful con- duct of the war. Not less than a bil- lion doHars will be required during the coming vear to put the roads in effi- cient condition. Our government is already carrying burdens enough without adding the railroads; and it is not to the interest of owners, shib- pers or employes to change from pri vate to government control until pri vaté management has had the fair chance dehied for a number ofsyears. Not a few good stocks and bonds are selling below Intrinsic values, making them good investments far the long| pull. Under present unsettled condi- tions, however, continued sharp fluc- tuations must be expected from day to dav. The war, the action of con- gress and advancing interest rates are still the chief governing factors. DEATHS AND FUNERALS William J. McCarthy. The funeral of William J.
