GOOD TIMES AHEAD
Special Adviser to the English Chan
cellOr of the Exchequer, Now i'm
Washington, is Confident
of Change.

washington, Oct. 2O.-Problems of
international exchange at present wor-
rying the Federal Reserve Board soon
will be solved, the balance of trade
again will swing to the United States
and the payment of immense sums of
American gold to England be rendered
unnecessary, in the opinion of Sir
George Paish, special adviser to the
English Chancellor of the Exchequer,
now in Washington to discuss foreign
exchange conditions with Treasury Of
ficials.
cat the present time" Sir George
said today, ENGLAND, of course, feels
That she wants money that is owed
her. We have coming from the United
States probably more than $500, OOO,-
600. The ordinary method of
is by gold, but in the course of bust
ness the balance usually is taken care
of by purchases of American securi-
ties or by paymen for your crops. In
view of the present situation in your
country, the payment of this large
amount of gold now might prove in
convenient, and England was glad to
respond to a proposal that the case
be talked about and an effort made to
find some way of meeting the difficult
ty.
Il feel sure some way will be dis
covered here by your Federal Reserve
Board and the Secretary of the Treas

tually the balance of trade will again
be in your favor"

Board were occupied today with the
directors and other officials of the IL
reserve banks, who are in Washington
for conference, and had no oppor-
tunity for further consultation with
Sir George. Mr.. McAdoo is suffering
from a slight attack of indi-
gestion and probably will not return
to his desk for several days. Until
then the conference with Sir George,
to which New York bankers are to be
asked, will not be held.
1t became apparent today that the
Federal Reserve Board probably would
attempt to provide short term interest
bearing paper or notes acceptable to
the English government in place of &C
tua1 gold. English bankers, it was
said, recently refused to take the obli-
cations of New York 1City to the
amount of $50, OOO, 900 because they
were regarded as having too long to
run. The English banker, are said to
prefer so day O. 80 day paper.
The Federal Reserve banks probably
will be in operation within 80 days
and then paper carrying British en-
dorsement may be acceptable to Eng
1ish creditors.

Then Representative Underwood
entered the chamber. After a whis-
pered conference with the speaker he
announced there was no hope of final
adjournment and that with no hope of
securing a quorum in the House be-
fore election day there was nothing
to be done but to adjourn until to-
morrow. The hundred or more rep
resentatives who had been waiting to
leave town filed out. Some left Wash
ington despite the situation while 9TH
ers cancelled their reservations.
Cotton states leaders on both sides
of the capitol asserted they would
continue heir fight tomorrow. In the
House they demanded the passage of
amendments to the currency law
broadening the credit power of banks
in the Federal Reserve system. These
amendments, in accordance with in
creasing the currency a bank may is
sue on commercial paper to 100 per
cent of it's capital and surplus, would
add to the power Of the reserve system
power by allowing members banks
to deposit in Reserve banks those re-

banks as redemption agents for circu-

These bills are under consideration

debate On them has been exhausted,
They will be followed if a quorum
can be obtained for a vote on them,

In addition to these Senator Smith
tonight asserted he desired an amend

repeal the present ten per cent tax
on state banks circulating notes, that

certificates.
President Wilson remained at the
capitol for a few minutes after sign

did not comment on the failure OF

day he had expressed the hope thai

NO ADJOURNMENT
BEFORE ELECTION
Congress is Still Tied Up by
Lack of Quorum

TACTICS
SOutherners Appeal in Vain to Wilson
For Aid in Securing Cotton Re-
lief LegislatiOn-~Grand
Stand Play" Says Clark.

Washington, Oct. 23.-With Con-
gress tied up by lack of a quorum in
both houses, Southern senators and
representatives tonight made a vain
appeal to President Wilson for aid in
which would clear the way to final
adjournment.
After they had blocked adjournment
by obstructive tactics, the cotton re-
lief supporters went into conference
to appoint a committee to wait upon
the President. The President, how
ever, when asked for an interview,
said he would be busy with an import
ant State Department conference I'M
til he left Washington at midnight
and therefore could not meet the com
mittee.
The departure of the President for
M. G.. A. convention tomorrow, set at
rest rumors that the existing circum-
stance might be relieved by the Presi-
dent using his power.
Continued efforts of Democratic
leaders to secure an agreement to ad-
journ failed completely and tonight
Southern members renewed their de-
termination tp continue their pro-
gram. The opinion was general that
this will pro1ong the session indef1-
nitely, certainly until after the cleo
tons.
Meanwhile the general exodus OF
both houses continues. The House to-
day had 157 members present on a
roll call, nearly sixty short of a quo
rum, and the Senate showed f~orty-six.
three less than a quorum.
Senator Clark, president pro TEN

legislation, left the city after char
~acterizing further efforts of his col

Representative Henry, of Texas
leading the cotton force in the House
refused various offers of compromise
| He frustrated an effort OF Majority
Leader Underwood to secure passage
of the pending cotton bills, insisting
upon consideration of his plan for
$3.50, 0OO, 900 bond issue. Speaker
Clark advanced a proposal to make
the pending bills the first bills to come
before Congress when it meets il
December, but Representative Henry
also rejected this.
At the conference of cotton bel
members tonight Representative
Henry declared he would fight ad
journment until he secured a vote OF
his bonding plan.
Senators Smith, of Georgia.; Smith
of South Carolina; Overman, Lea
Sheppard, Gore and White and other'
were present. Various proposals wer'
discussed and rejected before the con
ference decided to appeal to the Pres
ident. When the reply came that MI
Wilson would be busy all evening, tn
%conferees adjourned. They are visibl,
disappointed.
i While he repeated his determination
tonight to block an attempt to ad
journ, Representative Henry admitte'
he had given up hope of forcing cot
ton relief legislation Immediately. H
said he would move tomorrow tina
the House recess for three day period
until after election.

News of the sudden death of Mr.
James G.. Borden, son of Mrs. M. E.
Borden, of this city, was received yes
terday. Death came following a stroke
of paralysis. Mr.. Borden was in his
58th year. He was born in Colds
boro, N. c., and moved to New Or
leans in early manhood and was man
ager Of the Western Union Telegraph
Co., at the time of his death. He was
married to Miss Bell Abel, of that
city, who survives him, together with
one daughter, Miss Mary Lee, who is
we'll known in Wilmington, having
listed here recently, and three sons,
Messrs. Allan, Edwin and J.. C. Bor-
den, Jr., all of whom have lived in
Wilmington, at different times, but
who now reside in New Orleans.
Resides his immediate family, sur
viving him are his mother, Mrs. M. e.

evil of which the use of alcohol is
capable are so obvious to the human
intelligence that that intelligence
should be capable of the inevitable
deduction hat the more completely
the evil is eliminated the better for
every one concerned.
Now it is obvious, as obvious, rs
Thomas Ingoldsby says, as the nose
upon your face, that the race has a
right to protect itself against evil.
1t asserts this right in the instance of
theft or violence, to take only two
instances, then why not in the ase
of drink? Why should a nan be re-
strained from a%ssaulting his neighbor
or stealing from him, and unrestrained
in his use of alcohol? Why, asks a
famous French writer, does a crowd
exhibit the utmost concern if a horse
falls in the road, n yet only smile
il a man slips in the mud? It is, he
answers, because the individuals who
compose the crowd know that if they
laugh at them. In the same way no
man wants to be assaulted or stolen
from, but untold thousands desire to
indulge in alcohol. TO argue, as is
SO frequently done, that a blow or a
theft Injuries an innocent person,
whilst drink only injuries the victim
who succumbs to it, is to take a
curious1y limited view of citizenship.
The man who gives way to drink, like
the man who gives way to recognized
forms Of crime, not only d%eprives the
community of his earning capacity,
but becomes a dead weight on its re-
sources. Nor is it true hat he does
not directly injure any individual. His
conduct brings misery on those de-
pendent upon him, and distress to
those who would be his friends.
In all this there is no question al
all, and never has been any question
of making a man good by prohibition
There is a question of doing what is
best for the individual and the com
munity. A man is made good lot iI
the proportion in which his appetites
are forcibly restrained, but in the
proportion in which they are destroy
ed. Jesus made this plain enough
when he explained hat ~ungrati1e(
desire was a crime, in its degree, jus
as gratified desire was. He said some
thing more than this, however; h.
said that there was none good bu
God. A human being may be said t.
grow good, then, in proportion as tn
carnal mind gives place to the min'
Of Christ.

PROHIBITION AND FREE WILL
CThe Christian Science Monitor.)

(The Christian Science Monitor.)
The chief argument by which the
Prohibition campaign, or whatever
name that campaign may be known
by in various countries, has always
been met, is the specious n that you
cannot make people "good by force"
This, of course, is perfectly true: it
is, indeed, what has been succinctly
described as argument by the exhaus-
ton of the obvious. The only draw
back, and it is a serious drawback. is
that it is Intended to safeguard the
individuals right to assert his own
incljnations, at a somewhat late mo-
ment n the history of civilization.
The doctrine of free will has been
extracted, in general terms, by scho-
ings. 1t is based on the ~postulate
that ornnipotent god creates, or wha1
is the same thing permits, the temp
tations of evil, and then endows man
with free. will to resist or bow to
these temptations. This is illogical

no right Ito make a man good by

for just this purpose of making people

UNITED STATES MAKES
PROTEST TO ENGLAND.
Demands Release of Standard Oil
Company Steamer Platuria Iden-
ticaI With BrindilIa Protest.

tica1 With Brindilla Protest.
Washington, Oct. 23.-The United
States today protested to Great Brit
ain against the seizure of the tank
steamer Platuria, owned by the Stand
ard Oil Company, now detained at
Lewis Island, Scotland. The protest
is Identical with the one filed in the
case of the Brindilla, held at Halifax,
N. S.
Inasmuch as the Halifax admiralty
court already has begun proceedings
to determine whether the Brindilla is
a prize, the British government is
expected formally to decline to re-
lease the vessel until a decision Is
rendered. A prize court, it is be-
lieved, will similarly determine the
Platuria's status.
In each of the cases now under con-
sideration the state department knows
nothing of the circumstances of the
| seizure but in accordance to precedent
has lodged protest to conserve Amer
lean rights.
President Wilson tonight discussed
shipping and neutrality questions
with acting Secretary Lansing of the
state department and approved de-
mands for the release of the Platuria
and the Brindilla. The President took
the position that every right of Amer.
lean shipping must be protected.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING

Defensive tactics seem to be the
fashion in American business circles,
for while the South is being urged to
wear cotton goods, the north is with
almost equal insistence being urged to
fwear linen" said J.. B. Russell, of
Chicago, representing a manufactur-
ing concern in the southern field.
teThe cotton planter and the fax
grower jare 10 be b~eneficiaries of
these movements, of course, and they
are commendable movements, GER
tainly.
'sIt- seems to me that business con-
ditions in general are or the mend,
however, and that there is every reas-
on to expect aggressive trade tactics
to succeed the defensive attitude. Not
only are agents of the warning nations
buying heavily in American trade
centers, but September exports ex-
ceeded imports by almost SIT ZOO, 900
while the demand for cotton fabrics
continued to increase in several neu-
trail countries of Europe. These are
the facts as officially stated in Wash
ington, where it was pointed out that
the balance of trade has shifted in
favor of the United States, as COM
pared with an approximately equal
balance against the United States in
August.
'Just now the allies are reported,
On credible authority, to be buying
wagons, blankets, auto trucks, drugs
and drug supplies and other goods
needed by the armies in vast quanti-
ties. This buying cannot have other
than a stimulating effect on all lines
of commercial activity, in the opinion
of men whose views command atten-
ton in business circles"
