CIVILIAN SERVICE
SPLITS REICHSTAG
Socialists Say Bill Con
signs Working Glasses
to Slave Drivers

London. Nov. 25.-At the opening OF
the German Reichstag to-day the presi-
dent paid tribute to Emperor Francis
Joseph, and then proposed that the first
reading of the bill for compulsory civil
ian service should be taken up next
Wednesday. After determined opposi-
ton on the part Of both Socialist
groups, says Reuter- dispatch from
Amsterdam, the proposal was adopted
Socialist speakers denounced the
presidents proposal as an attempt to
prevent discussion of bill which
sought to deprive the working classes
of the free disposition of their work
ing power and consigned them to the
exploitation of slave drivers.
Herr Basserman. leader of the Ma
tional Liberals. protested against the
Socialist stand, declaring that duty
towards the Fatherland demanded
speedy adoption of the measure.
Berlin via London, Nov. %. DR..
Helferich. Secretary of the Interior,
during the course Of the discussion OF
the budget before the committee of the
Reichstag combatted a suggestion look
ing to the suppression of some of the
newspapers. He said the government
recognized the necessity Of keeping
alive even the smaller newspapers dur
ing the war and had already taken
steps to facilitate their continuance:
Where local officials showed want of
appreciation of the importance or the
newspapers, he continued. this would
prove without significance, as all local
authorities could be controlled by uni
form instructions from the War Office.
Dr. Helferich also discussed the
question of Utilizing the population OF
occupied territories for work in Ger
many within the provisions of interna-
tional law.
A member Of the Socialist seceders
pronounced the bill "the most unheard
of dictatorship measure ever laid be
fore the Rechstag."

Artificial Rural Credit,

Under the rural credit bill which the President signed with flourish of two pens, the United States Treasury will capitalize land banks which will advance money to farmers throughout the country at Q rate of interest for which a maximum is begged without regard to the condition of the money market, and on terms which are preferential as compared with the general terms of credit in the banking system of the country.
 Presumably loans will not be made beyond the security of farmland offered by the borrower, although the history of farm mortgages throughout the country, under the control of private financial enterprise, is not reassuring on that score.
 But if government capital, which is to be non-diVidend earning, is properly available to finance the ambition of the farmer, the city dWeiler who may be a small shop keeper, a manufacturer on 2, small scale, or merely a housenoIder with or without his garden patch to qualify in the agricultural ranks, has a right to expect the same favor and like terms of credit from the govern Inent treasury. The cheap money fall acy still taints the fiscal policy of Democracy and Bryanisnl, in it's newer forms, is none the less dangerous to the soundness and stability of our in- stltuttons. ns.--Philadelphia.
