WILSON AcAiNsT LoA.s
FOR EUROPEAN

Washington, August 1s.-President
Wilson was confronted today with the
problem of whether American bankers
shall be permitted to float loans in the
United States for any of the countries
engaged In the European war.
Though the President has not reach
ed a final decision. he is strongly OPP
posed to the idea. The question arose
through the desire OF J. p. Morgan &
Co. to float loan of several hundred
million dollars for the French Govern
ment. Inquiry was made of the State
Department by the Morgan firm as to
whether the fiotation of such loan
would be regarded as a violation of
neutrality. Secretary Bryan discussed
studying 1t carefully before returning
"a final answer.
Beside j. p Morgan & Co. It is I'M
derstood another New York banking
house OF prominence is DESTROYS of
floating loan for Austria, but the
State Department has not yet been
approached, so far as could be learned
tonight, with any formal inquiry as to
questions OF neutrality involved.
While there is no provision in the
American neutrality statutes against
the loaning of money to foreign ma
tons and no international agreement
exists forbidding 1t as violation OF
neutrality, the Presidents Judgment is
that il 1t were permitted serious mis-
understanding might ensue in Europe
as to the real attitude of the American
Government and people toward the
different nations in the present strug-
gle. A loan was foated for Japan
during the Japanese War, but
notwithstanding the precedent, 1t Is
President wilson's belief that the in
fiuence of the American Government
ought to be exerted so far as possible
toward reducing the length of the
strife rather than adding elements for
its prolongation. He is likewise OPP
posed to the sending of large quanti-
ties OF gold from the United States al
time when domestic financial needs
are paramount
The possibility of stirring up III
feeling among the numerous bodies OF
citizens in the United States Of par
ticular sympathies in the European
war is also regarded by the President
as a potent reason for discouraging
the floating of loans. By preserving
strict neutrality to the letter, he be-
lieves the position Of the United States
will be most secure in the present
emergency and less likely to leave i'll
effects after the war is over

LUKE MoLuke SAYS.

Most men spend the, first half of
their lives hunting for trouble and the
last half trying to dodge 1t.
Every now and then you see a wo-
man whose face makes you feel like
taking her into barber shop and
stalking her to a shave
The old fashioned girl who used to
recite Lips That Touch Llcker Shall
Never Touch Mine" at the Band OF
Hope usually grew up and married the
Town Rummy.
There Is a reason for everything.
You never know how good man looks
with whiskers until he shaves them off.
And when pportunity does rap at
the door most people won't open 1t be-
cause they think II lis the collector
from the installment houses.
What has become of the old fash
toned woman who could faint any old
time she felt like 1t.
The reason why the Porch Climbing
Trusts are responsible for the High
Cost OF Loving is because Father used
to stay home at night and fix the
chicken coop instead OF eating dinner
at a cabaret and singing This is the
Life and Mother used to stay home
and mend Fathers sox instead OF
spending all her time at her Rhum
Club.
When Father comes home and finds
the house as though a cyclone had hit
IL and sees the bedroom furniture scat
tered from cellar TO garnet and the beds
piled on the back porch and the mat
tresses scattered all over the back
yard, Father doesn't need to ask any
questions. He knows that Mother. has
captured Bed Bug.
The old-fashioned woman who used
to get box of Rising Sun stove polish
and devote an hour to shining the
kitchen stove, now has daughter VIII,
wants to cuss II she has to walk from
the kitchen to the dining room to ge
a match to light the gas range.
One OF the best ways to waste your
time is to tell other people not to waste
| theirs.
II a Hunting License would permit
a man to shoot craps, there would b'
more Hunting Licenses issued thar
/ there are Automobile Tags.
!, Some guys are so lazy that the,
think II is a mighty poor rule that viii
work at all.
It doesn't sound so bad by sayint
"oh, he means WELL" but 1t is abou
the meanest thing you can say about
man.
Women believe that men never no.
tice what women have on. Maybe that's
why they take so much off
And many girl wears a bird O.
Paradise on her hat when she is goint
out to raise Cain.

THE PERAMBuLATING SHOWCASE
(By Herbert Kaufman.)

The newspaper Is a huge shop win
dow, carried about the town and de-
livered regularly into thousands of
homes. to be examined at the leisure
of the reader. This shop window is
unlike the actual plat glass showcase
only in one respect--it makes display
of descriptions instead of articles.
You have often been impressed by
the difference between the decorations
Of two window trimmers, each of whom
employed the same materials for his
work. The one drew your attention
and held it by the grace and cleverness
and art manifested in his display. The
other realized so little of the POSSIBLE
tiles in the materials placed at his
disposal, that unless some one called
your attention to his mediocrities you
would have gone on unconscious OF
their existence.
An advertiser must know that he
gets his results in accordance with the
skill exercised in preparinf his verbal
displays. He must make people stoI
and pause. His copy has to stand out
He must not only make a show OF
things that are attractive to the eye
but are attractive to the peoples needs
as well.
The window trimmer must not make
the mistake of thinking that the show
lest stocks are the most salable. The
advertiser must not make the mistake
OF thinking that the showiest words
are the most clinching.
Windows are too few in number t.
be used with indiscretion. The good
merchant puts those goods back Of his
plate glass which nine people out OF
ten will want, once they have seer
them.
The good advertiser tells about goods
which nine readers out Of ten will buy
II they can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the
window, just as the showcase Is but 9
frame for merchandise pictures. A
window on a crowded street, in the
best neighborhood, where prosperou,
persons pass continually. Is more de.
sirable than one in a cheap. sparsely
settled neighborhood. An advertise
ment in a newspaper with the mos
readers and the most prosperous ones
possesses great advantage over ths
same copy. in medium circulating
among persons who possess less means
It would be foolish for shop to build
its windows In an alleyway--and Just
as much so to put its advertising into
newspapers which are distributed
among ALLEY dweilers."

WHAT THE "wHITE Book IS.

The German White Book" in
which an effort is made to give Ger
many and the Kaiser the credit for
having tried to avert the war is plaus-
ible enough. But the mere fact that
it was considered exigent to issue 1t
in order to set Germany and her
War Lord" right before the world in
dicates uneasiness of mind in Ger
many as to responsibility for tie dis
aster. The record is that Germany is
charged with having made local far
general and is upon the defensive in
the court of public opinion. The other
side has not been heard, and will
probably not be. as the Russians are
not Eauch given to explaining them
selves and inviting endorsement.

PUBLISHERS WILL NOT
DELIVER SCHOOL BOOKS.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 1.-THE refus-
al Of text book publishers under the
State contract Of 1914 to deliver books
in some instances to local dealers
elected by county boards OF education,
and refusals to accept in exchange old
text books not In good condition, have
thrown the rural schools into chaos,
according to State Superintendent
Hamlet, who wired twenty-on con-
Germs this morning that he had advised
with the Attorney General and would
lay before him information on which
to forfeit the bonds OF the publishers.
