the War Has

"There arc no wnr orders coming to
this country now, for the very good
renson that every manufacturing plnnt
that could turn out such orders Is full
to the limit," said Alba il. Johnson, presi
dent of tho Ilaldwln Locomotive Com
pany. "This is reflected," lie continued, "In
tho condition of tho stock market. Tho
highly speculative element In certain
stocks known ns 'war stocks' has sub
sided. "Whllo war orders were coming to this

cuted, and thereforo a better opportunity
for ilellberato calculation ns to profits,
wild speculation has given way to calmer
Judgmont."
Discussing tho Remington Compnny's

Johnson snld ho understood that whllo

WITHDRAWALS PUZZLE
TO ANTI-ST0NEMEN
Foes of Ritual Cannot Under
stand Why Episcopalians
Won't Confer With Founder
Non-Eplscopallan opponents ot tho pres
ent ritual of the Stonemen's Fellowship
nro much exercised todny over tho an
nouncement that neither of the prominent
Episcopalians named by tho Rev. Dr.
Wllllnm H. Roberts to serve on a com
mittee to moot the lenders of tho Fellow
ship will nccept the appointment. Follow
ing In tho footsteps of the Rev. Dr. Carl
B. Clrnmmcr, who refused a similar ap
pointment Inst week, the Rev. Dr. David
M. Stcclo ami Francis A. Lewis do not
intend to serve.
Announcement of their Intention hns
caused considerable speculation among
the opponents of tho Stonemen's degrees.
It Is snld that Doctor Roberts named
the men only when ho had been given
assurance that they objected to tho
propaganda, which hns been making
rapid strides under tho leadership of the
Rev. Mr. Stone. A prominent church
man sad today that one of the city's
moat widely-known rectors recommended
their appointment to tho chairman of
tho opposing committee.
Doctor Roberts Is out of the city to
day, and It is not possible to announce
what action he will take following tho
resignation of Doctor Steele and Mr.
Lewis. But It Is believed that, as a
result of their resignations. Doctor Rob
erts and tho leaders of tho opposition
will use every means to learn why these
men will not cerve on n committee that
is opposing the very something they
themselves are opposed to.
A prominent Episcopalian, who pre
ferred not to be quoted, said today that
the great membership accredited to the
fellowship was pure Action, nnd that
probably less than 10,000 men were Inter
ested actively In tho movement. Some
of the leaders of tho fellowship have
boasted that tho organization has nn en
rollment of more than 100,000.
This same churchman also asserted that
the statement that the club had virtually
unlimited financial backing, was untrue,
nnd there wns littlo prospect of tho fel
lowship having an expensive clubhouse
unless the members paid for It them
selves. Ho did not think It probable that the
members would provide tho funds. The
number tlmt really Is active, ho Bald,
could not possibly contrlbuto $200,000 or
$300,000, the amount suggested as the cost
of the proposed clubhouse.
