WHY THEY RECEDED.

IE II is amusing these prediction days
how easily the administration forces
s1re thrown into panic. A few weeks
sSSn Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster
Eaneral Burleson put their heads to-
esther and evolved a scheme by which
lfha Federal Reserve Board could col
aiect' their checks in those communi-
Sffes where there were no member
banks. Mr.. Burlesons orders to his
snoetmasters were to receive checks
drawn upon such banks and to collect
them. thus taking away from the

icheme was In singular accord with

France will have TO restore that part
of its industry which has been syste-
matically destroyed by the Germans

attention has not been sufficiently dl-

inventions, and in many instances The
new works will be far superior to the
old. But in the meantime a large
amount of business will be at the dis
poSal of American exporters who will
have to supply France with the goods
wanted by her. And, also, American
capitalists will have excellent oppor..
tunities to invest in substantial
French undertakings.
These opportunities. especially the
former, will not be occasional. not
temporary. but permanent. France
will certainly not resume with Ger
many the commercial relations which
existed before the war, and she Will
try by all possible means 10 get from
other countries what she imported

i: was not until the Hon. Claude kltch-
in, the Democratic floor leader disco7-
cred that there were many OF these
banks in his own State, North Caro-
lima, that something was doing. He
made the air around the adminlstra-
ton department heads vocal with his
outcry. Up to that time, Secretary
McAdoo and Postmaster General
Burleson had been Indifferent to the
complaints which had poured in upon
them. However when Mr.. Kitchin
marched in and told them If they did
not rescind their orders the State of
North Carolina would go Republican
by 0oO,-well, that was different.
The chances of Wilson must not be
imperilled. Hampering the little banks
and hampering the Democratic party
were widely different propositions. So
McAdoo and Rurleson receded, as 1t
was eminently proper for great and
consistently non-partisan admlnistra'
ton to do.

On the other hand. French export

taste and genius, and which are so
well known and appreciated, partlcu-

The less inclined Franco will be to
look for its commerce towards ner

her eyes westward on the ocean, on
which her steamers will carry the TIL

PUNCTURING A SLOGAN.

who is now the Republican candidate
for United States Senator from Penn

the Democratic slogan. He has kept
US out OF war" some discriminating
jabs that puncture that fallacious az
sumption. According to Mr.. Knox's
diagnosis, or shall we say autopsy, Of
the complex situations that have
arisen, he (Wilson) has several times
been in danger OF plunging US into
war, and with regard to Mexico he has
twice practically made war on that
country, while ostensibly acting az the
President OF Humanity instead OF
sticking to his regular job of Pres-
dent OF the United States.
How and In what way has President
Wilson kept US out Of war with the

Of wanting to war with us, but on the
contrary, England, France, Russia ard
