What may be the next plan Of the

TEACHING CHILDREN THRIFT

A national campaign for thrift"
designed especially to reach school
children, is about to be launched bv
the Washington Chapter of the
American Institute of Banking. Such
a campaign is not only good busi-
ness for the bankers, it is mighty
good public service for the country
at large, and the bankers deserve
all the help they can get from
parents and school teachers.
Such campaign affords chance
to teach school children some of the
elementary lessons of economies.
They should not only be appealed to
on the score of personal aggrandize-
ment. But they should be taught
that. in placing their money in
banks, they are contributing to in
dustrial enterprises, and are aiding
the prosperity of their community.
When Savings" are referred to
the average child has a vision Of
money being piled up in a larger
and more widely used receptacle,
which serves about the same pur-
pose as does his penny bank. By

SERBIA ANOTHER BELGIUM

The Serbian army has been driven
out of it's country and decimated.
Only a small part of the national
area is still in the hands of it's
own people, Old Serbia being en-
tirely occupied by the enemy.
Not only has the army been prac-
tically destroyed and swept from its
country, but the Serbian people have
suffered the same fate. 1t may
fairly be said that there is no Serbia
and no Serbian nation left.
This is the, penalty paid by the
brave little people for daring yet
to cling to its aspirations for true
national existence. Centuries ago
the Serbs stemmed the tide of Turk
ish invasion of Europe; to them and
to the Poles under Sobieski western
civilization owes its salvation from
one Asistic inundation. as it owes a
like debt to Charles Martel and the
Franks for rolling back from the
field of Tours the Saracen tide. 1t.

grown strong enough to care for it.
self, Poland was torn asunder by
the very countries it had protected
1t is precisely so with Serbia. As
Prussia, Austria, and Russia divided
Poland and extinguished it's nation
ality, so Prussia and Austria have
now destroyed Serbia.
The fate Of Serbia is perhaps ever
worse than that of Belgium; a
least there is ground to hope. thai
Belgium may be restored and giver
a new chance for national life, be
cause of the determined interest o,
all civilization in its behalf. WhetheI
a similarly effective sentiment will
compel like restoration of Serbi;
is to be doubted. The Armenian rae,
seems fairly in the way of extinc
ton; there Is no reason to hope tha
a better fate is in store for the Ser
bians, if the conquerors shall retail,

poses.

CANADIAN WHEAT SEIZURE

The military seizure of perhaps
20,OOO,O0O bushels of Canadian
wheat by the Dominion government
opens some questions that will have
decided interest to the people of the
United States. The wheat is needed
for the allies in Europe, and it is in
timated that its seizure was consid-
cred necessary in order to defeat ef-
forts at creating a corner and ex-
torting unreasonable prices. The
mere fact that SO great quantity
was to be found in terminal eleva-
tors suggests, at least, that some
thing of this sort was afoot.
But the official statement issued
in explanation Of the seizure is not
reassuring to Americans. 1t is al
legged that seizing this supply was
in effect method of insuring that
Canada's great surplus would get a
preference in the markets of the al
lies. Canada raised the greatest
wheat crop in its history this sea-
son; so did the United States. A
few weeks ago the allied nations
fioated a half-billion dollar loan in
this country, explaining that the
proceeds would be used to buy sup
plies here. Now, it appears, excep-
tionally rigorous measures are being
adopted to insure that Canada's sur
plus wheat shall get the first chance
at the European market which the
allies control. The military seizure
has the appearance of a clever
scheme for giving Canada wheat a
preference in the allies markets, as
against United States wheat.
If it shall turn out that the en-
tente nations intend thus to enforce
discrimination against the United
States, and to give a preference to
Canadian grain at least until the
Canadian supply is taken up, it will
exactly bear out the view expressed
by this paper some months ago a,
to the possible course of our COM
mercial relations with Europe
There are some things that Europe
must buy here; first, cotton; second
munitions. She cannot get them
elsewhere; not, anyhow, in the guam.
titles she must have them. On the
other hand certain articles of agri
cultural production, headed BY
wheat, are plentiful in Canada
Australia, India, and to less ex
tent in some other countries.s If
after the United States has loaned
its credit to the allies, they shoule
turn about and give a sharp prefer
ence to other countries in buying
their grain supplies, and leave tn
United States with its wheat surplu.
on it's hands. there would be decided
impression here that this countr,
had had the bad end of the transac
tion.
This is precisely how the Cana
dian wheat operation looks at frs
glance; and there is need for an in
vestigation to determine precisel!
what is intended by it. This coun
try cannot afford to have its agri
culture boycotted in order that com
petitors in agriculture may have tn
first chance in the allies markets.

Notes ON the Game.

II would have been a pretty pitching
duel had not a great number of errors
and hobbies marred yesterdays con-
test. Campbell allowed seven hits
while Jones issued five. The line
drive to Morris was at best a scratch.
The Tulsan struck out seven to his op-
]ponent's five, while the Producer
moundman walked three to the Deni-
con pitchers two. Each hit a batsman
with a pitched BAH. In two innings
Jones allowed a pair OF hits each
while they punched a pair on Camp
bell in each of three innings. OF the
total u safeties there was not one for
an extra base.
r. J.. Connery, st. Louis Cardinal
scout, was in the grandstand yester-
day. Too bad Jimmy Burke couldn't
switch his batting average of the
previous day. But his fast fielding in
Yesterdays contest was not to be over
looked. Neither could the pitching Of
Jones and Campbell be entirely
ignored by a keen eye.
If the Producers were to face
Campbell today 1t would be wise for
them to crack the first one over every
time. The Texan groved 1t for every
batsman yesterday.
Reynolds was a regular pinch hitter
yesterday. 1t is very likely hat he
would have made a better account for
himself on secon than did his sue.
Cessor on the sack.
Jimmy Burke made a pretty peg to
second in the sixth and again fielded
with wonderful speed Brooks sacri-
flee in the following frame.
Brooks infield hit in the second did

flee. There was "A man on first and
Mattick had an excellent opportunity
TO catch the runner at second but he
either misjudged the bounce or did
not make a real effort to field the ball.
