REPORTS MEAGRE

STRICT CENSORSHIP is
MAINTAINED
STRUGGLE HAS NO Parallel

Thousands and Property

Reports from the great war
In Europe still bring very little
information that is reliable. When
news from the battlefield reaches
the outside world, it has been so
censored as to convey very little
information as to what is really
happening. We know that bat
ties have been fought on a scale
never before known in the history
of the world; that men have been
slaughtered by the tens of thous-
ands and billions of dollars in
property destroyed, and that is
about all. The slaughter caused
by modern weapons of warfare
is almost too horrible to be be.
heved, and when the truth is fl
nally known the civilized world
will be Mortified. The nations en-
gagged in war will be set back
hundreds of years and they will
be many, many years paying the
expense. France will never re
cover, and the men killed i'm bat
tie will never be replaced be-
cause the death rate even in time
of peace is greater than the birth
rate in France.
Germany is fighting for ex-
istence and the German people
are unit in the fight and will not
be conquered. While Germany
has TO face France, England and
Belgium on the one side and con
tend with Russia on the other.

changes Of law which they propose
would undoubtedly be very beneficial
to the postal saving system. but por-
ton OF Section II. seeks to make a

when the federal reserve act was
passed II was thought wise TO make

ter the federal reserve system as many
and ~ strong as possible. II was.
therefore. provided In the act that gov.
eminent funds should be deposited
only In banks which were members OF

ciple OF such provision Is sound and
undisputable. The moneys under the

placed only In those banks which are
