Membership of G. A. R.
Rapidly Decreasing

In spite of the decreasing numbers
in the ranks of the 6. A. r. the ac-
counts of the quartermaster general
show a remarkable financial strength.
according to the report Of that officer.
Col. d. r. Stowits, read today. The re-
port showed 159.s63 members in good
standing December 81, 1914. The report
says. in part:
THE receipts for the term from sale
of supplies and per capita tax are ma
terially reduced, and clearly show that
our ranks are rapidly diminishing, but
the comrades remaining are not failing
in their love and generosity toward the
order. The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is quite a strong factor in our ma
tional life and will be for some years
to come. Notwithstanding a smaller
revenue from the regular sources, and
| without a donation to the general fund
| or a draft on the interest account OF
| the permanent fund during the term.
we have still been able to meet all OF
our Indebtedness promptly.
| II desire to make the following rec
| omm endations:
! "First-The cash balance on hand Is
| not enough to meet the necessary ex-
penses of national headquarters for the
| next six months, and as no per capita
| | respectfully recommend that the in
coming in-chief call upon
the treasurer of the permanent fund to
pay over the accrued interest from the
| permanent fund for the years 1914 and
1915 to the quartermaster general. to
be deposited to the credit Of the gen
eral fund and used to defray legitimate
/ expenses.
'Second-As the amount to the credit
| of the southern memorial fund is not
| sufficient to meet the requirements FOR
1915, therefore / recommend that the
| incoming administration send out an
| appeal for contributions to this fund
| through general orders to the order at
| large, and also by special call to our
| allied organizations. Our faithful aux
| iliary. the Women's Relief Corps. and
| the Daughters of Veterans have in the
| past testified to their interest in this
| fund by contributing literally. and we
| would give expression to measure of
gratitude, not to be phrased in words.
| to show our appreciation by asking

Says There Was No Intention to
Buy Interned German ships. =.

buy Interned German ShtDs. :.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
issued statement last night de-
nying unequivocally the charge made
by Senator Lodge Sunday that the ad-
ministration originally had intended
to purchase informed German ships
should the ship-purchase bill become
law. Referring TO the Lodge state
ment, Mr.. McAdoo said:
The shipping bill never did have in
view the purchase of the interned
German ships. or any specific ships"
The statement then launches Off into
n rather sharply worded attack upon
Senator Lodge and Senator Root for
their alleged inconsistency in voting
against the ship bill out of fear the
President would buy belligerent ships
whereas, he points out. they had
voted for the amendment to the ship
registry laws permitting the purchase
OF belligerent ships by American ship
owners.
Mr.. McAdoo asserts that the only
reason why the President refused to
accept an amendment of the ship bill
prohibiting the purchase of informed
ships was that such a provision would
have meant the surrender of n vital
American right"

The European war has suddenly put
the United States in the foremost po-
sition in the commerce of the world
and the country is facing an oppor-
tunity-one that will last perhaps a
year-to remain even at the close of
the war, in that position. This was
the statement of Secretary of Com
merce Redfield in addressing the
Young Mems Christian Association last
night
The war has compelled the entire
world to come to for what II
needs" said the Secretary of Com
merce, land it is our one duty as
American citizens to deal with them
now in such a manner that they Will
want to come even when they will
not be compelled to do SO. Any man,
who at this time would offer an in
ferior grade of goods on our foreign
market, should be branded as traitor
10 his country.
Seven months ago the United States
stood in the position Of the man who
fears TO face his creditors: she owed
500. O0o, 900. Today she has paid that debt
to Europe not in gold. hut in products;
and in addition. = selling to the other
part o. the world $G.Go'.tDD worth Of
goods a day. We are the one nation in
the world capable Of selling al! kinds of
goods that is not in this war and Is not
likely to be.
All Must Pay for War.
There are some people who think that
at the close of this war We Will b" in the
same position as before: that We will
find il hard 10 maintain our position in
the world. But how can this be true?
There is no man so foolish as to believe
that war profits anyone. We all Will
have to paw our share Of the cost of
this war, and our ability To meet our
share will depend on tn" advantage We
take of the present opportunity.
This war is eating the economic heart
out Of the countries involved in il. They
are killing off the Aorking clHsS. the
greatest asset Of any country: they are
destroying tn" factories. the physicaI
equipment of commerce. and they are
using up their capital t" carry on their
