at home, down on S. Front street, and
had some tea with lemon in 1t, and
cake, and sandwiches which was made
by society ladies and was very good.

An IMPORTANT ELEMENT

THE management of the National
City Bank of New York, in a
= bulletin issued this week. ex-
presses the belief that the Sc
sure position in which we seem to be
established as n creditor nation on
current account is the most important
factor in the home situation. We have
reached the place where. instead Of
being concerned lest our securities may
be returned too fast, we are beginning
to be concerned because they do not
come fast enough to keep the ex-
chanses in normal condition.
The short foreign loans that are be-
Ing made here are the same as gold
in the reserves as protection against
any foreign liquidation of our securi-
ties that may develop as the war pro-
gresses. The credits OF this class that
have been given in no sense represent
capital withheld from home use, for
II they were not taken il would be nee
essary that reserves in this country
should be correspondingly stronger.
They are an outer line of defense
which must be passed before a foreign
demand can reach our store of gold.
and considering the surplus reserves
or the national banks and the reserves
and note-issuing power of the Federal
Reserve banks. the situation is now SO
strong that an enforced contraction Of
credit seems to he beyond the posi-
bilities.
This is an important element in the
business situation of the country and
can be regarded as nothing less than
a guarantee to timid owners and man
ayers who have been holding back i'm
provements and enlargements through
fear OF a future of which they were
not certain.

Trees are one of the most valuable
assets that any city can have. They
make both for beauty and for health.
No street is so bare and desoiate as
that without trees; none so shabby
but that trees make il a better. more
attractive place in which to live. Any
movement that has for its purpose

now has or the planting of young ones

NO HoNoRs TOO GREAT

Goethals and Brigadier General
William &. GorGas to be Major Generals
in the United States Army.
Republics are not always migrate
fuI. Both in a monetary and honor
sry way. the government OF this coun-
try thus is paying its respects TO these
two men who above all others did so
much for the successful construction
of the Panama Canal. The maior-gen-
oralship which it is proposed to tender
10 each OF them-is the highest honor
within the sift of the nation for such
services. and the attendant salaries
great sacrifices they have made in the
promotion OF this gigantic develop
ment.
Every American may well point
with pride TO their achievements. One
is scarcely TO be honored more than
the other. for while Colonel GoethaIs
carried to a successful completion the
gigantic undertaking. General Gorgas
a-ted as the sanitary pioneer who
went into the Isthmus in advance OF
the working forces and made it health
ful and habitable. Gorgas overcame
the scourge of yellow fever which
drove the French from Panama and
Goethals completed the work that
French engineers had given up in de-

As illustrating this. the research ae-

date named prohibition legislation has
been enacted or is in the course OF
enactment in no less than nine States
which number does not include those
that are now considering local option

Alabama has passed a prohibition

Utah has also voted TO put prohibition
up TO the people. while in Vermont
one branch OF the legislature has ap-

laws to enforce prohibition after the
