UNIVERSAL PEACE
is NEAR AT HAND.
ASSERTS CARNEGIE

ST. Louis. Mo, May 2.-Andrew Car
negie told the National Peace congress-.
assembled here today, why he believed
the nations soon would reach the goal
of peace, and by what road they would
travel. He described the cost of war
and warlike preparation. and explained
his confidence that the United States
never need fear foreign invasion.
President Wilson and his administra-
ton, he predicted. would gain immortal
glory by dealing successfully with the
question of world peace.
The goal, said Mr.. Carnegie, is almost
attained. IF a man wished to select
the safest life possible the-one freest
from all danger of violent death. let
him enter our army and navy. There
is not a workman attending machinery
or erecting buildings, nor railway
train employee or policenan-ti1e SOL
der Of civilization. whose duty is never
to attack but always to protect-not
one but runs far greater risk OF sudden
injury or death than the soldier or ma
rine OF our country does today. There
Is little danger Of any OF these ever
seeing war. thank God! They will only
have to parade"
Pictures An Invasion.
The speaker pictured apostolic for
eign invasion as follows: British au-
thorities consider 1t might be possible
for an enemy to land as many an
u.s. 900 men upon their island in three
weeks, and they believe they have pro-.
this number. We could cope with
seven times this number Of invaders.
If we could only induce them to accept
our invitation to march far enough in-3
land and partal<e OF our hospi tally un
til they were rested and gave us notice
We would probably conquer without
firing shot. Thousands might decide
to stay in the great west and work
and save until they could buy farm.
We might turn invaders into citizens

BANKS MUST PAY FOR
Use OF OYERNMENT
DEPOSITS IN FUTURE.
McAddo Will 1naugurate sys-
tenn to Charge 2 Per Gent For
Federal Funds.

Washington. May 1.-The fiscal sys-
tenn Of the United States governing de-
posts of national funds in national
banks was revolutionized by Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury department,
with an, announcement that all govern
ment depositaries whether active or
inactive. would be required to pay in
terest at the rate OF 2 per cen per
annum beginning June upon deposits
OF the government. simultaneously
lied an Immediate increase of &c.,
100000 in government deposits in the
national banks. making the total s52,
649.964, from which the federal treas
ury will earn. under the new interest
order. $1.053000 annually There are
indications that Secretary McAdoq in
tends to release still more surplus
money from the treasury vaults and
place 1t in general circulation through
increased deposits with the national
banks. In statement last night he
said:
With the banks paying interest on
government deposits, the secretary
may be justified in keeping larger ball
ances in national banks, thereby in
creasing the volume of money in cir
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up in the treas
ury"
Mr.. McAdoo also announced radi-
cal change in the character of securi-
ties which the treasury department
would accept for government deposits.
Instead of requiring that the national
banks secure treasury deposits ex
clusively, with United States or pro-
Vinclal government bonds, they will be
allowed in future to secure 20 per cent
with government bonds and the re-
naming 80 per cent with high class
state, city or county bonds, acceptable
to the secretary of the treasury, to be
known as security at Is per cent of
their mark etable value but not to ex-
coed par. This is the first time in his
/ tory that the treasury department has
called on the banks to pay interest on
what are active~deposits, or accepted,
except in periods of financial stress,
security other than government bonds.
Active depositaries are those which
conduct a checking account for the
disbursing officers and replenishing
their authorized government deposits
from custom and internal revenue re-
ceipts with them There are 900 mac
tive depositaries each holding $1,000 of
government funds. Upon these de-
posits which are not disturbed by
checking accounts the government has
| drawn 2 per cent interest for the last
five years. These are the only govern
ment accounts which have earned in
