Secretary McAdoo's Plan to Provide
Cash to Move Crops Surprised
the Bankers.

New York.-The greatest surprise
was expressed by. New York bankers
at the decision of Secretary McAdoo
to place from 25 million dollars to
so million dollars in the public banks
for the movement of this years crops.
The bankers here said they did not
know that the banks of the South and
West were confronted with any extra
ordinary strain in preparation for the
crop movement They said reports
indicated that the financial arrange
ments were progressing favorably
and that the banks were in good
shape to meet the demands.
The bankers also expressed surprise
at the announcement that the gov
eminent would accept commercial pa
per as security for the deposits which
will be made.

Governor cruee of Oklahoma ReVokes
Paroles Issued During His Alb

Oklahoma City.-Governor Cruce

to undo what was attempted during
his temporary absence in Kansas City
He will direct the attorney general to
ignore the action of Acting Governor
J. ]. McAlester in approving the
school book contracts which have
been in controversy for a year past
He also notified the book companies
concerned that they would not be per-
mitted to put their books into the
schools until the supreme court has
passed on the validity of the con-
tracts. County superintendents and
teachers were given the same warn
ing.
The governor also issued a formal
order revoking the pardons granted
by McAlester. 1t is Cruces idea that
the governor has control of all par
dons or paroles until they have ac-
tually been given into the possession
of the men pardoned. He has in
structed Warden Dick not to release
the men.

GOVERNMENT MONEY WILL BE
LOANED TO MOVE CROPS OF
WEST AND SOUTH.
INTEREST At TWO PER CENT
Commercial Paper viii Be Taken as
Security for the First Time in
History of the
Country.

Washington, d. C.-Twenty-five to
fifty million dollars, of government
funds will be deposited in the national
banks of the South and West at once
by Secretary McAdoo to facilitate the
movement of crops.
Federal, state and municipal bonds
and prime commercial paper will be
accepted as security for the money
upon which the banks will pay per
cent interest.
The motive of Secretary McAdoo In
establishing this policy is to antici-
pate the money stringency in the late
summer and fall, which invariably &C.
companies the marketing and move
ment of crops, especially when. they
are unusually large, as the harvest
now beginning forecasts.
In statement, the secretary made
the significant announcement that gov
eminent bonds would be accepted at
par as security for the new deposits
and that the additional money would
be placed only with banks which have
taken out at least 40 per cent of their
authorized circulation. The United
States 2 per cent bonds, serving as
security for most of the national bank
circulation, have been depressed re-
Gently to new low market records,
dropping to 95A in the last few days.
The secretary's willingness to accept
these bonds at par as security for the
25 to so millions of promised deposits
and the inducement to the national
banks to increase their circulation up
to the 40 per cent limit is expected
to-help in restoring the parity Of the
depressed Is by creating a new mar
ket for them.
For the first time in history the gov
eminent will accept prime commercial
paper as security for deposits. This
privilege will be granted, the secre-
tary announced, in order to make those
special deposits available to banks on
securities readily within their reach.

currants Win RaIsIns.

The combining of raisins and cur
rants in a sweet conserve Is a very
old-fashioned idea that was popular
with our grandmothers. The follow
ing way of preparing this sweet comes
from a Duchess county household.
where 1t has been in use for several
generations: Have ready seven
pounds each Of currants and of sugar.
one pound of seeded raisins and three
pints of currant juice. This juice
should be squeezed from another bowl
full of currants. Add the sugar to Il
and boil the mixture three minutes.
Then stir the fruit into 1t and cook
the whole ten minutes The large
cherry currant," which does not con-
tain many seeds, Is best for this pre-
serve. Look the fruit over very care
fully, as imperfect currants or raiAins
win ruin the conserve.

A REPORT SAYS THAT ENGLAND
is PLANNING JOLT FOR MON
ROE DOCTRINE.
PANAMA CANAL The CAUSE
British Government Talking Of Estab-
fishing a Station in Bermuda
Islands to Safeguard Its
Shipping.

Washington, d. C.-Keen interest
has been aroused in official circles
here by report reaching the State
Department that Great Britain is con-
templating establishing a great naval
base in the Bermuda Islands 1t is
stated authoritatively that the British
government has made inquiry con-
corning the plans of the United States
for the protection of the Panama Ca
nal routes and IL has been suggested
that this indicates an intention to
safeguard British shipping through the
isthmus as ii is done in the Mediter-
ranean.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, involving
as it may the vcty life of the Monroe
Doctrine, and marking perhaps a COM
plete revolution in foreign naval pol
icy in the Western Hemisphere. For
1t is expected that If Great Britain
changes her naval policy in American
Atlantic waters, other European ma
tions probable will follow suit.
While these changes may be ex-
pected in the Atlantic waters and the
West Indies, officials likewise realize
that with the opening of the canal,
the United States must contend with
Japan for the domination of the
Pacific.
By way Of looking out for future
contingencies at the Pacific terminal
of the Panama Canal, the British
claim ownership of Clipperton Island,
probably the finest deep water harbor
in that part of the Pacific Ocean.
While Great Britain is thus assert
ing itself, officials here remember how
long Germany has looked with visit
full eyes at the Danish West Indian
Island of st. Thomas, which occupies
a strong strategic position in relation
to the Panama Canal American nav
al strategists always have favored the
acquisition of the island, which Ger
many would take over except for
American objection.

HUERTA REFUSES TO RESIGN
Washington Much Interested In An
nouncement Which Tends to
Cloud the Situation.

Washington, D. C.-Oficial Wash
ington read with keen interest the
declaration of Aureliano Urrutia, the
Mexican minister of the interior, that
provisicn nal President Huerta would
not resign and moreover would brook
no interference on the part of for
eigners.
While no plan that the American
government has had under serious
consideration involved any direct in
reference in Mexican affairs, the ad-
mitted attitude of the administration
here is one of unalterable opposition
to the recognition of the Huerta
regime.
Without the recognition of the
United States, leading Mexicans have
hitherto claimed Mexico would not be
able to extricate itself from it's finan-
cial difficulties. On this account it
had been believed here that pressure
would be brought to bear to persuade
Huerta to resign. The announcement
that he had declared not to do so has
beclouded the situation somewhat and
has spurred the constitutionalists to
further activity to obtain the reapel
of the embargo on arms. They claim
that If they do not get arms the revo-
luton will he a protracted struggle.
With munitions of war they say they
can quickly bring matters to crisis.

that reforestation and water storage
together at their best could not have
prevented all the damage from the ire
mendous downpour of rain in Ohio.
But it could and would have pre-
vented the crest of the flood from
reaching so great a height and there
fore would unquestionably have re-
lieved us of some of the suffering and
loss.
There is only one way to control a
river-that is to control the whole of
it. Floods in the lower Mississippi, for
example, do not originate in the neigh
borhoods or in the states where they
do their harm, but hundreds, even
thousands of miles away. Reforestation
of the headwaters combined with stor-
age and combined also with the con-
troll of the navigable channels lower
down, is the necessary means of de-
Tense.
Is the plan practicable? Entirely
apart from the report of the Inland
Waterways commission which assert
that it is, and of the United States
geological survey which confirms that
assertion, we have the actual expert
zee of other countries to prove that
it is. For example, great reservoirs at
the head of the Volga ad other rivers
in Russia which store about 35,000,00,-
900 cubic feet of water, have not only
been successful in improving naviga-
ton, but have prevented the floods
which for many years was a scourga
to the lowlands of that part of Russia.
In our own country, partial demon
stration of the effectiveness of reser-
voirs for river control has been made
with success on the headkaters of the
Mississippi river, according to an emf
nent body of army engineers.
How can the work be done? AS
write the flood which originated in
Ohio is threatening enormous damage
