tions With German Connections
 for Participation in Loan.
 Berlin, Oct. 4,Via. London, 11:45 D.. E1.-George Bernhard the political writer in the Vossiche Zeitung today makes an attack on American banks with German connections which are participating in the Anglo-French war loan.
 'It is natural that we will not do business with these firms during war time, he writes. It is urgently to be wished, however, that after the con- ciusion of peace three houses with German sounding names shall not be allowed to go crawling around Ger many.
 'We cannot endure any half way measures in the future. He who is Tot for us is against us and he who in his heart is against us must do busi- ness elsewhere than in Germany.
 From these cases we should learn finally, that any indications of yield ing are regarded as weakness and only harm us. We must use our strength in full measure, our military as we'll as our economic power. Our econo- mic strength must in future be used toward those who have gone into this war against ~ -rTnany.'

A furf consideration is that the organH militia, as we'll as the army, need backing of reserves to keep it's ra full. and so reduce to a minimum time and expense required for training.
 The problem that Secretary Cd son nd Secretary Daniels of the n have been called upon by the prE dent to study and report on did come as a surprise to the former. Garrison was in an advanced stat indeed, when the qS ton of the national defence sud-. ly became a live one with the adnI istration and the country. Ills annual report dealt exclusively y this subject. the condition of army and the vital question of improvement. He had dedicated n self to the solution. He had alre far in well-consida plan for expansion. both as rel to personnel and materiel Cher ing a patriotic resolution to vote term as a cabinet officer to the n ter. Mir. Garrison has quietly discd aged attractive suggestions from party leaders in New Jersey that give up the war portfolio to take office of honor, and greater end ment in his own state.
 The authorized announcement MT. Garrison's plans and estiml| will be awaited with interest. In a general way. they have been fo. shadowed by the state paper he sI mitted to congress and the coun5 when he made his annual report year. He then displayed a firm gr, of the subject, and outlined a cI structive program. It is now part of the administration to osl come the lethargy of congress. d secure the first step in a military rl Icy adequate to the national ned The country will be back Of it.
