much as SIS a month, and very often
they have to go in debt for those

different. SO long as the government
requires men to defend its flag and

tate to take service, at least for
few years. The discipline which they
will receive will be of great benefit
to them in after life, no matter how
they may be enga ged. and if they are
without capital there is no surer way
by which they can save up a few

WHY does a man wear pants?''

essary To use technical terms and
treat il from a scientific standpoint.
To merely say that a man wears
pants for the sake of comfort con-
venience or decency would not be
sufficient. We must ascertain what

style Of dress our answer is pred
icated on the assumption that pants
are product Of evolution having its
inception in the breech clout. lust
as life finds its beginning in the
prOtoplasm. Some Of the stages of
this development are still observable.
We still have among US the breech-

Ethiopian savage, the pantalets of
the East Indian and the semi-bifur-

clout the innate modesty Of the saw

said, clothes him before. but leaves
him bare behind" or didn't Long
fellow say that? At any rate. it
easily and naturally follows that the
suggestion Of the savage's conception
Of decency was succeeded in order
by those of comfort and convenience,
which brings us up 10 the present
stage of development and answers
the question, except that it does not
attempt to describe how men wear
pants. nor where.

FRIGATE INDEPENDENCE
BURNED FOR JUNK

San Francisco, Sept. ga series
of Charred oaken ribs projecting cut
of a mud fiat in san Francisco bay
was all that remained today of the
frigate Independence, the yaunted
oldest ship in the United States
navy" which was burned last night
for the copper in her staunch hull.
The navy department recently so d
the ship for $3,5l5.
The flames that destroyed the Inde-
pendence brought to an end navy
career begun in 1872. Once the old
frigate was Americas first flagship
and carried seventy-four guns on its
three decks. Later it was retired
from actual service and was stationed
at Mare island as a receiving ship.
Three years ago it was placed out
of commission.

LOAN To ALLIES

GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE
MERELY WANT TO PURCHASE
ON lNSTALLMENT PLAN, PAY
ING PART CASH.

Albany Tex, Sept 23.-Today
heard a man say that IF the Ameri-
can bankers and financiers did not
arrange the proposed $1,0OO,OOO, 900
loan on the lines suggested by the
British and French financiers, they
would come to terms and arrange
it as the American financiers want it
arranged"
This man never made a bigger mis-
take in his life. First, because it
takes two to make a bargain, and
second, what is still more important,
the "wouldbe purchaser" must have
the ability to purchase, before the
"would-be seller" can sell to him.
James j. Hills reputation as fin
ancier is so we'll known that mis-
statement that the United Statt s
will suffer more from the inability OF
the British and French governments
and peoples to purchase than the said
governments and peoples themselves
must carry weight, and the way to try
to examine into this matter is to seek
to differentiate between the CONNER
cial and warlike aspects of the pro-
posed loan or credit.

A large amount of American secur-
ties are held in France and England,
but these securities are held by pri-
vate individuals and not by either
government; not only in this case,
but also there is the further fact that
in many cases these securities are
tied up in trusts so that they can not
be touched. 1t is therefore evident
that it would be impracticable 10 eX-
pect that sufficient amount of them
could be secured by the French and
British governments to put up as Sc
curity for the desired credit.
This credit as proposed not only
affects the French and British govern
ments directly, but it also affects a.,
the individual commercial dealings Of
two nations. If it is arranged, then
both the national and individual deal.
ings are taken care of; on the other
hand, a failure to arrange the matter
will have the effect of separating the
national dealings from the individJa.
dealings. In which case the probable
result would be that for such commod.
tiles as munitions of war, shipments
of gold would be made to pay !)r
same, and that deliveries wou1 bl
cut to the minimum; at the same
time, ordinary comercial dealings
would be left to take care OF them
selves.
1t should be borne in mind that
while the French and British go'er7.
ments could not confiscate the Am
eriCan securities held by individuals.
they can so tax the receipts o. n
terest from these securities and also
raise revenue by import taxes and in
other ways, that the government
might be in a position to pay in gold
for the munitions of war, at the same
time the power of said nations as IN
dividuals might be so restricted in
their ability to purchase commercial
commodities as virtually to interrupt
all commercial dealings Whea', cot
ton and other commodities for strictly
peaceful and individual requirements
would thereby lose their market, and
it can hardly be disputed that such
commodities, where not directly re-
quired for war purposes, would suffer
more than munitions of war. This
makes it very evident what Mr.. Hil"s
views are, and that they are wei
founded.
