MORCAN'S QUEST
IN WASHINGTON
Aids Bankers Who Seek
International Credit
Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 81. =. Morgan's
visit to Washington to-day has had
chiefly to do with the efforts of prom
inent bankers, largely those of New
York City, TO establish an international
credit bureau, whereby the credits os
various nations, and particularly those
held by the nationals of the countries
engaged in the present war, may be
cleared after the manner in which
debts and credits are cleared in the
metropolitan clearing house, only the
actual creditor debit balances being
settled in gold.
The purpose of Mr. Morgan's visit
remained a mystery until revealed by
the announcement Of the worldwide
credit plan in The Tribune this morn
ing. SO carefully has Mr. Morgan con-
cealed his movements that no news
paper man has been able TO locate him,
and while he is understood TO have had
conferences with the Secretary of the
T .asury. the Controller of the Cur
rency and some members Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, this fact cannot be
asserted positively. That the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board have under considera-
tion the plan for an international
credit bureau or clearing house, whicn
Mr.. Morgan is urging, may be def-
nitely asserted.
1t is realized that the allies might
object TO such a bureau because of the
convenience it might prove to Ger
many, but, on the other hand. it would
so far facilitate the realization by all
foreign holders of securities of returns
on their investments that it is be-
lieved such objections can be over
come. 1t is understood that Paul VI.
Warburg, as told in The Tribune this
morning, is the member of the Fedora!
Reserve Board chiefly interested in
the plan, or at least is the member
who has most clearly grasped the ad-
vsntsges of the scheme proposed b.
the bankers.
II is maintained that the establish
ment of such bureau would be fol-
lowed soon by the reopening of the
New York and London Stock exchanges
and the Paris Bourse. although the lat
ter might be transferred to Bordeaux

MERE CHILDREN
 ARE DRUG TENDS

ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.--That whole districts in the Amur terri tory are morphiamad, and that even children are dope flends. was the statement made by Dr. Starokotlit- sky, featuring before the medical so- ciety of Blagovostchenck. Children acquired the dope habit, he said. be- fore reaching their teens, and the villages were populated by morphia- maniacs. In one jail out of every 1000 prisoners, 300 were dope fiends. and the same proportion applied to the hospitals.
 A large number Of morphia clubs existed in Blagoyostchenck, and it was common sight to see morphia- maniacs- making injections in the open streets. The use of cocaine also was declared to be general.
 Official statistics also show that 96 per cent of the boys and 95 per cent of the girls at school in the province of Veronjsky are in the hahit of drinking intoxicants. Chil- dren of seven and eight frequently become drunk. the boys preferring spirits and beer, and the girls red wine and beer. Strong measures are being made to stamp out alcoholism among the children.
