01 Dr. Mid Conducts Memorial Service For Those Who Fell in France. "IT IS PEACE THE DEAD FOUGHT Sav forman War Mur-Hine! i broke Because It Was Soulless System. "All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave To save mankind yourselvca you seprnej to save." These lines are from the hymn "The Hupretna Sacrldcs," sung as the recessional at the memorial aervlc of the 101st Machine Gurt Patlallon In Trinity Churcl last evening, and their theme was a thought In th address mads by Rev. Ernest dtF.

Mlel, rector of the church, whose work In ths American Ked Cross In France took him at times to the battalion. Leaning out from the pulpit and talking tn men of the battalion massed at te head of tha center aisle, "in recognition of what was dona by our gallant lads who fell In France, we who livft are to malt our selves better men. How splendid was their life, how splendid their spirit when they gate themselves! They Have tlieinselves freely for freedom. They died the noblest death that men may 'die." Iir. read the ode of Brian Honker, concluding with the words: "We who must live salute you W'hd have found the strength to die." He told the congregation, which was large, Hint it had assembled to do graterul reverence to the blessed dead who had fought thn good tight and had gone to their reward.

Every one of the lads who went forth bravely and gamely had the Idea that he was making for peace. They were righting men, but they -Were peace-loving men and they went Into the war to end war. Dr. Miel told about what might be called a pilgrimage to the left bank of the Heine, to the Hotel des ln-vnlldes and to the earcophaau of Napoleon. beautiful and brilliant shrine with the splendor of military glory.

Hut It was not comparable In real feeling with the tomb of Grant on Riverside Drive, New York, for the teaching in that tomb was in the immortal words: "Let ua peace." It is peace that the dead fought for. It was peace the world wished. What we thought of the blessed dead was not the point so much as vhst the dead thought of lis, what message they would send. Men had measured their thoughts by the span of three score and ten, but when they were released from that span they were not limited by tho pettiness of lif, Dr. Mlel cited the beatitude from the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed aro the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." If the blessed dead should send a message, it would be for peace in the world.

Speaking to tha men of the battalion, Pr. Miel said The most trying moment of my life in France wis when we pulled out with the twenty-sixth from St. Mihlel, with hope perhaps of a rest sector, but instead took the road to Verdun. I shall never forget that night, not because I was tired out, but because 1 watched the unending files of doughboys far down into the night, footsore, tired out. heavy with packs, stringing forward to battle again, "It was a picture of the world today.

We look for the dawn of a hitter day. Our part is to fit ourselves for it. The World is in two o'assex, peacemakers and troublemakers. It is for us to concern ourselves not with what get, but with what we give." It was the soul that lasted, Dr. Miel said.

The war destroyed faith Ih mere mechanism alone. Germany hml a perfect military machine, a evstem without equal in preparedness. Put it was a system without a soul. The machine broke; the soul of humanity in the allies was lasting. The service began with the advance along the main aisle of Arthur Van R.

Tilton, a son of Organist Frederick W. Tilton, carrying the national flag, escorted by Lieutenants Maurice F. Furnival and Houghton Bulkcley. Headed by Lieutenant Jan I). Wack-ensie, members of the battalion followed.

In tho processional of the choir boys the chureh'a national ensign was carried to tho chancel. After the address the colors of the battalion were carried to the chancel rail, the congregation rising and remaining standing as a salutation. t)r. Miel read the list of the honored dead as follows: John F. Alexander, Franklin Allen, Albert J.

Audette. Wallace H. Hrown, Iavid A. Plowers, William A. Bruton, Ignatius Ilrostowics, Paul W.

Butler, Garland V. Cole, Robert K. Collins, Lome 1 Cupples, Harry O. Faulk, Kenneth Finlayaon, Moseley H. Gray, Louis F.

The "Star Spangled Panner" was sung and the recessional was the "Supremo Sacrifice."

('. (By William W. Oalg, Financial Kill-tor uf "Tho New Yolk lleruldh Tho relation ol credit conditions, pruaed or reduce,) dividends and the state of foreign tinde Is having more and m', re of a reflection in th markets, feveinl significant events brought this filet into the foreground of financial cotisldei atioii last week. Th passing of so prominent a divi dend as that of the Cuba Cane Sugar, Corporation's preferred stock and th roductton of tha quarterly payment of Internutionl Harvester Common betokens a situation In industry which otiipl.ns.Sva tha slump of 1UJL The call loan ruts at New York Indicated a rather unexpected stringency of money, 'and Indirectly of credit by rising to I per cent, tha highest icvol sine th tocond Week uf February. And the effects of a group of business men to conserve their equity in some i Iiiii.Oiiiuhki wortli of goods sold to Southern countries but not mld for revealed a sidelight on the stioet Which sum export lines are 111 feriug.

Through high money rate th country is again experiencing the re. suit of tremendous loans on goods and luntsi tals, both in the domestic, market and abroad which can be liquidated only slowly. Through dividend cut seen the effect of the difficulty entailed in a dormant foreign market which cannot takt up surplus good! of American mill. If Houtli America, the Far Knat and Kurop wvie as well able to buy and pay for our produces lis they were a year ago, there would Hot be shrunken income nor would it necessary for manufacturers to seek way to get rid of a great amount of product that have been turned back on their hand, it would not be neuessary, either, tor a bank of such widespread interests, as th Mercantile Hank of the Americans lo raise fresh funds nearly twice It previous capital and surplus in Cider to carry its customers until more favorubUi times appear, Th Inst week us mada memorable by these developments, not only bo-cause they ar likely to stand as of proofs to later years of much disturbed business, but also fr their probable function signboards pointing towsrd better condition. Money rates should ease off somewhat as tha rates draw offering from renter where money Is plentiful to others where It Is rslher scaive.

Mat th recurrence of high quotations, at a tub when th Fedeial lleserve Hank had been recording a steady retirement of loan and a great growth of reservea for months, I a strong suggestion of problems Just liquidation was belna- discussed to freely as to seemingly forecast really easy crealt rales, tha situation tightens up again. I The entire credit difficulty harks' hack to those hundreds of millions of I dollar which I frosen In Immovable goods; rather. In goods which move so slowly that fresh demand of production and distribution make harder and harder ths releas of capital tied up In them. Bankers with such loans know full well that the only wsv out Is patiently and painfully to wait until market conditions Improve. I'lilll a vast amount of such good and materials are finally distributed and replaced by ensh, it Is certain thst the foreign markets for new manufactures will be sliiEglsh and manufacturing operations will be restricted.

In that fact lies th secret of many dividend omissions and the likelihood that there will be other In the future. Tim fall of stocks durlne the week, especially those of Industrial companies, could be attributed both to news of dividends and to the money sitiintion.
