had won by an overwhelming
majority it would be a great deal
better than if you had lost by just
few subscriptions.
There is just one thing you can

subscriptions your object. Your
friends will surely come to your
support now at the close and you
ave perfect right to ask them.
Explain to them that their SUBJ

will win for you.
The closing particulars are ex-

LOOKS GOOD

Despite the war, conditions here af-

banking and financial circles having
its foundation in positive changes for

much improved. Money is redundant
and promises to continue easy for
some time to come. The new federal
reserve system, though not in full
running order, is working well and

the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency cur

Is no lack of funds to good borrow
.Ts; the accumulation being due to
dull trade, to the return of crop mon
ey, to the lowering of reserve require
ments from % per cent to Is per cent
and to the fact that few are in pos
ition to draw gold from aboard. To
day we are loaning money to Russia,
Canada, Argentina, France, Sweden
and elsewhere. The war in Europe
and our own strong financial position
have caused striking shifts in the cur
rents of finance and trade, which
will greatly strengthen the prestige
and power of New York as an inter-
national credit and money market
Many of the transactions now TAX

war is over these factors will disap-

Smile only to his death-damPed cyesl
