TO MAI. WALTER REED
Discoverer Of Yellow Fever Mos
quito to Be Honored by Vir-

fitting memorial to Maj Walter
Reed of the army, the discoverer of the
yellow fever mosquito and for years a
resident of this city, is planned for tha
campus of the University of Virginia,
Of which he was a graduate, in an ap-
peal In the current alumni journal of
the institution
What Is needed" it is declared. is
some kind Of monument that will
give visual evidence in its very make
up Of the nature of Reeds work, and
give 1t so effectively that no one who
looks at It can fail to be permanently
impressed" The declaration Is made
that it should not be "a conventional
estal" but should 'in some fashion
display his portrait in bronze or stone"
The idea is advanced that the memo
rial should be in the shape of a large
curving plinth, perhaps fashioned in
the form Of a seat. with high back.
tagged pavement in front. Into the
two pillars at the end Of the plinth
could be inserted bronze tablets, on
which could be engraved the story OF
Reeds life. surmounting the back. or
in some other place which the artist
might choose. there could be a bust of
Reed"
Benefited Nations May Contribute.
Each nation which has been directly
benefited by Maj. Reeds work. 1t Is
suggested, would be glad to contribute
block of stone. from which the me-
mortal would be built. THE most Of
the Central and South American re-
publics. the nations of the Mediterra-
mean basin and of the Indian ocean. as
well as Of our own country" 1t is said,
have been rendered safer and happier
by Reeds labors." Each block of stone
contributing nation.
A Washington sculptor Is mentioned
in connection with the work in hand
when 1t is declared perhaps II Paul
Bartlett, who already feels a generous
interest in Virginia, were to design the
memorial in suoh fashion as to include
the elements set forth here, there would
be no great difficulty in getting the va
rious nations to send marble blocks"
Thus with tho completion of the
protest in hand. 1t is pointed out, a
man would be honored whose ceno-
taphs are the hills of Panama; the
stones in the streets Of Havana and
Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans and
Algiers and Port Said and Calcutta
and a thousand far-off towns: the sound
the cultivator in the hot and flower
sweet tangles of tropical forests. and

grooming babe"-a man whose glory
is found on the uncut gravestone and

vades and ravages Belgium despite
treaties and human rights. If we are
asked, what can be hoped from the
peace that is to be signed?' we can
answer, briefly, that in the future the
world must be defended against such
revolving occurrences as those We
have recently Witnessed; that war
must become more difficult by the in
creasing influence or the people them
selves in international litigation, and
by the unanimous adoption of a years
delay in the interest of a peaceful
settlement, such as Bryan introduced
into a series of treaties between the
United States and o,ner countries.
The whole question can be summari-
zed in a single sentence, Real and

spect for the rights of others" Until

The FARM LOAN ACT

The farm loan or rural credits meas
ure became a law on July II, when it
was signed by President Wilson.
Evolved. as II has been out of hun
dreds OF similar measures, ii should
prove TO be a forward step in help
Ing the farmer TO buy land, improve
his present possessions, or pay on
existing mortgages bearing higher
rate of interest than can be charged
under the system for which this law
protides. While the law is far from
ideal, It is a beginning toward improy-
ing farm financing.
The act provides for the establish
hent of twelve regional federal land
banks and permits the organization
of any number of joint stock land
banks for the purpose of making loans
at rates of interest not to exceed 6
per cent for long periods Of time, and
on the amortization plan.
For the purpose of establishing the
federal land banks, which must have
a subscribed capital stock of not less
than $15O,OO0 each, the country will
be divided into twelve regions or dis
tricts with one bank in each The
capital stock of these banks will be
divided into shares of s. each and
offered for sale to anyone. If any of
the stock remains unsold thirty days
after being placed on the market, the
secretary of the treasury shall buy 1t
for the United States. Ultimately,
however, it is intended to have this
stock owned by national farm loan
associations
The membership of these local ma
tional farm loan associations Is to
consist of owners and operators OF
farm land who wish to borrow money
under the provisions of this act Any
ten or more men who own and oper-
ate farm land may organize an asso-
citation of this kind, provided they
wish to borrow in the aggregate not
less than $4,000. Each member OF
the association to which he belongs
must buy stock in the association in
a sum equivalent to per cent of
the amount he wishes to borrow,
which stock will be held in trust by
the local association as additional Sc
curity for each members loan. The as
sociation. in turn. when 1t applies to
