Stocks went ahead for the fourth day in succession and the respectable British pound sterling went up above $4.85, the biggest price since the war. A prosperous Great Britain means a cheerful Wall street. It owes us, money.

It looks like a Wall street so perhaps the tidal wave of prosperity is going to submerge us after all. But don't gamble, or you will be sorry. This glorious country wants war "more humane." The President is annoyed because Europe pays little' attention to our suggestion that nations talk it over. Mr. Houghton, ambassador to Great Britain, warns Europe' to be more peaceful or it can not borrow our money.

It's a hint that'ihe President will control lrjans made by our bankers. That would be a good thing, ANYHOW. The President wants Europe "to check the barbarism of war by putting a check on the use of poison gas." If that be true, 'it is respectfully suggested that the President read "Callinicus," a little book by J. B. S.

Haldane, a British professor of biochemistry Callinicus the Syrian who linvented Greek of which the -secret is now lost. With it Callinicus destroyed a fleet sent by th Saracens against Constantinople more than twelve hundred yearB ago, and according to "saved a great part of Christendom from Mnhammpdan Haldane undertakes to prove that poison gas is a more hu-1 mane weapon than bursting shells, shrapnel, and he succeeds fairly well.

Based on returns from 133 precincts, It Is estimated that Myers's plurality In yesterday's primary will be more than 5,000. With votes counted In, the 133 precincts, Myers will poll more than N.OWl votea in the city If he holds his present ratio. Adolph G. Emhardt, with only 1.S0O votes, would receive a total of 2,700.

Figures Based on Relative Number of Calls for Party Ballots. Voters of Indianapolis In the primary election yesterday' called for Republican ballots In a ratio of about six to one Democratic, rfeports received from widely scattered precincts Indicated that the total G. O. P. vote, due to heavy participation cf Democrats on the Republican side, would be In excess of It appeared that the total Iemocratlc vote would not be much larger than 10,000.

The entire day at the polls was marked by an undercurrent of tenseness between'the supporters of John Duvall and Ralph A. I.emcke on the Republican side. While no violence was reported-, there were clashes between the police department and members of the Horse Thief Detective Association. Members of the latter organisation were working In the Interest of Duvall, distributing the "clothea pin slate." Before an Injunction was obtained from Judge Clinton H. Glvan of Superior court, Room 4, the police had arrested fifty-two members of the association for carrying concealed weapons and vagrancy.

Duvall Men Challenge. On the other hand the election boards; most of which were In sym pathy with the candidacy of Duvall, proceeded to challenge persons asking I for Republican ballots. This was don In Instances where; It was believed that the voter had supported the Dem- wiuinoiu Ion women about their ages anil oth- Politicians these two candidates were attempting to interpret the net result of these activities. The verdict In most case was that the poli-e activities and the challenging would cut both ways. At all the polls the workers declared the vote was light.

In most Instances such verdicts were based on the falling off of the primary participation from the regular election turnout. In the colored sections, the Fifth, Sixth and Third wards, there waa an unusually large number of workers at the polls. There were about as many men and women wearing Puvall ribbons as Imcke workers. Wllmeth workers were seen at most of the polls. Ninth Ward Vote Heary.

On the basis of the returns the vote In the primary election was heavier than predicted by the politicians who; declared before the election that thera was a great deal of public apathy. The average vote cast in a precinct -tor the Republican candidates was 312.

If the sajne ratio Is maintained the total Republican vote will be about 70.OO0. Mr. Duvall was supported In his contest for the nomination by the party organization In the city and by the Klan. Mr. LemcHe had the sujp-port of the "city hall organization and profited by non-Klan support.

Both candidates were reported to be beneficiaries of votes that have been in the paBt normally Democratic. According to pre-election indications, the vote In the Democratic primary was very small. Most of the public Interest centered in the contest on the Republican aide, partly because of the more intensive campaign waged by G. O. P.

aspirants and also because of the injection of the Klan issue on that tide. Ambuhl Holds Lead. In the four-sided race for the Re- publlcan nomination for city clerk, John E. Ambuhl, deputy city clerk, was running ahead by a plurality of about 1,000. William E.

Tomorrow, weather conditions permitting, the Ixis Angeles will fly over Porto Rico eastward to San Juan and thence across the sea to the Virgin Islands anil return to the I'atoka'a mast. The present plan of the commander of the airship Is to start on the return flight to Lakehurst Thursday. The trip from Porto Rico will be across the water to Florida and then up the coast If conditions are favorable. This route probably will add 200 miles more to the distance "between Porto Rico and Lakehurst.
