Another Big Bank In.
From the st. Louis Republic

From the st. Louis Republic.
The one disappointment brought by the
currency law was its failure to attract the
state banks. At present those institu-
lions are enjoying the protection which
the reserve system gives to all classes of
business without contributing their
strength to the support of the system.
1t has been hoped that the attitude Of

so slow as to warrant a feeling that the

for desrsir. There have been some re-
cruits among the state banks. and now
comes another. the Corn Exchange bank.
OF New York. an Institution with more
than 800. OCO. 600 of deposits and many
branches scattered throughout New York
city.
In announcing the change. President
Walter E. Frew said: Whatever feeling
Of disapproval and distrust Of the system
we may have had has been put aside in
the larger view that the federal reserve
system has come to stay. and it became
a duty not to oppose 1t, but TO cooper
ate to it's Improvement"
1t would be a very valuable thing to this
country II many other state banks would
see their duty in the same light.

No Invasion of Germany.

From the Springfield Mass.) Republican.
Only repeated reverses have brought out
the fallacy OF this argument. which really
amounts to a plea for attacking an enemy
at his strongest point instead Of his weak
est. The present strategy of the allies,
30 far as the military map reveals 1t. APP
pears to correct this blunder. Nothing is
said OF marching on Berlin. or OF crossing
the Rhine. or even of driving the Germans
put of Belgium and Poland. The object
OF attack is to be the weak spot. Austria.
German armies are firmly grappled where
they are. 1t may be that a shortage OF
men Will dictate the abandonment OF the
vast foreign territories east and west
which German armies are holding. But
that is not an essential part of the plan:
Napoleon was beaten in Belgium; If Aus
tria succun,bs, Germany may be beaten on
alien soil.
Little is heard now of the feeling often
expressed IN the allied countries earlier
IN the war. that Germany must be invaded
In order that it should suffer something
Of what France and Russia has suffered.
Otherwise, 1T was said. after the war, II
would be ready for business with it's towns

time is a combination of woodcraft and

better soldiers of them. just az any train
ing which takes II man out OF doors and
teaches him self-reliance makes a poten-

committee has seen In the boy scouts the
minds of the men who will be running
the country within a few years. and, rec
08n1zlng the seriousness OF any step
which might influence the boys toward
militia rism, it has refrained from p%artici-
patton in a movement to that end:
