That's Just the trouble" said Bruce
grittingly. Its because men who are
universally supposed TO be honorable
and decent, and who occupy nno and
high positions, are at the bottom OF all
the crookedness that it's so hard for
me to reach them"
Stanford Stone. the secret head OF
the graft syndicate and Bruce's great
enemy, was not deceived by Bruce's
resignation OF his office, which filed
some OF Stones associates with de.
light.
HE hasn't given up" he said
Don't be fooled Tor q minute by his
resignation. That's just blind. He's
going to keep on fighting, and it's more
important than ever TO put him out OF
the way. l know, for instance. that
he's going TO Chicago tomorrow to try
to get evidence against Dodson and
his grain shortage. Blacks gone, but

With Bruce gone, Stanford Stone left
no move unmade in New York that
might help TO achieve his object His
first blow was struck at the Independ-
ent. A hint was enough With one
accord advertisers withdrew their sup
port until the paper faced a staggering
loss. And Stone went further His
agents approached stockholders, who
frightened by the loss or earnings,
were glad TO sell their holdings So
Stone came into control OF great
block of Independent stock and was
able TO apply for a receiyership and
so force the suspension, for time at
least, OF the papers publication.
At his instance, too suits were
brought against Bruce for criminal IL
bel and for heavy damages by the men
he had accused in connection with the
traction trust exposure. These were
strike suits, which could not succeed
when they were brought TO trial, but
it was not stones purpose 10 let them
come TO trial They served rs an ex-
cuse for attaching Bruce's bank ac-
count and his home, and this was done.

What Real Preparedness Means.

A year was spent In organizing the
experiment in communication now in
progress between the Navy Depart
ment and the establishments and
ships under It's direction. In an
emergency so much time might not
he necessary. but the fact that the
necessary coordination of instrument
talities cannot be accomplished in n
moment Is one that should not be
d%isregarded. The best results require
that the mechanical devices TO be
used should be understood by the
men who are tn use them. The limi-
tations Of the service demand study.
and the possibility OF increasing its
scope IS plain.
The modern telephone and tcle-
graph systems are peculiarly elastic
and adaptable. Their operators live
in nm uninterrupted state of prepared
ness. The nature of their occupation
holds them to n standard Of efficiency
cxacted by few callings. The trans
formation of their establishment from
IA peace In military basis would be
simple in comparison with the task
presented in other Industries. but
ever in their case months Of arduous
and intelligent effort have been spent
TO bring about the gratifying results
that have been obtained.
Resi!es disclosing the capacity Of
the wire and wireless enginery Of the
country to contribute to national de-
fence. the demonstration that began
on Saturday offers nm object lesson
not to he ignored In the meaning Of
true preparedness for n nation that
may he called on to defend It's Dor
ders against n foreign enemy.

foreign borrowers are at the best

foreign borrowers are at the best
symptoms OF that provincialism which
the country must overcome In dealing
with the present and future emergen-
cies and requirements of International
relations.
One of the most valuable safe
guards which our finance can furnish
for the protection Of our business In
tcrests and the service of domestic
needs is indicated by the bulwark of
foreign loans abroad which is being
erected during the European war.
The foreign credits thus created give
command over the resources Of the
borrowing countries and afford bar
riers against inroads on our banking
reserves in the period of economic
competition after the war.
Nor Is this all which the extension
OF credit and the supply of capital to
other countries accomplishes. What
ever the Comptrollcr's inquiry dis.
closes, it will show that the national
banks have been doing their part In
promoting the country's foreign trade
together with the domestic trade and
industry which depend on external
commerce. Our bankers have been
making trade for the country by max
ing loans abroad and facilitating pri-
waite investment In foreign securities.
s
The March foreign trade figures
just published reveal in concrete and
impressive figures how well domestic
needs are being met by the employ
ment of domestic capital and credit in
external m No country in
the world ri reported for one month
exports Of such u value as we made
In March. when the total reached
$4,000. 900. Our so-called favorable
trade balance for the year ending
June 30 next may reach two billion
dollars, and while the phenomenal

to domestic industry would have at
tanned nothing Ike its current dimen-

In turn the maintenance Of the nd
v%antageous footing which our trade
has gained in other lands depends
on u further progress in the expan-
sion of foreign credits. Trade fig
urcs tell In II way the story of what
W have done and may yet do. The
same story is told in another way by
