period Of reconstruction was well nigh

one term at the medical college, to
practise for q year or two under his

sufficient money to defray the ex-

bring him to the back Of the house.

achieved any sudden popularity
among those bankers of the state who
yioleatly opposed its enactment. but
it can be taken to mean that the bank
crs as class would rather accept the
law as IL stands than engage In con
test to have it changed and undergo
tho criticism that would be sure to
follow repeal or any drastic changes
in the measure as it now stands.
The truth of the matter is that a
usury charge is as rebugnant to the
average self-respecting banker as it
is to the most ferveat moralist who
ever invoked the Shades of Shylock
as an awful example of Mans inhu-
manity to man. and with the changed
conditions that have been brought
about by the federal reserve act, and

when things had gone rather against
them. The occupation Of all Rou-
mania will make the German lines m
the east shorter and defensible, there
fore. by smaller number OF men.
Roumania's farms will add greatly
next year to Germany's stores OF
grain; the oil wells will supply needed

But there is nothing decisive about
the victory Germanys enemies show
no signs OF giving in Indeed, the fate
OF Roumania has caused cabinet crises
both in Russia and In England, and the
calling in of premiers pledged to an
even more vigorous conduct of the
war
The German victory has been clean
cut and decisive, but, II the allies DO
not become discouraged, their ulti-
mate victory still seems assured It's
the last man and the last dollar that
wins victories. and in both the allies
have greater resources than the cen
