United States Steel was the chief feature $500 shares being taken at 96 3-4 to 97, g. maximum gain or 1 3-8. The stock sold minus its reg ular and extra dividends of If per cent, which makes the advance equiv alent to 99 IA or within 1-8 of its hlgh record. Mercantile Marine preferred and Kelly Springfield Tire represented the New York mamimum. Union Pa cif1c, Atchison and New York Central gained a point and various specialties recorded similar advances.
 Wall, Street, Noon-Reactions of one to two points resulted from the extensive profit taking of the first hour, numerous issues losing all their gains with steady pressure upon the motors. Fresh buying, however, ap- peared in Marine pfd, Kelly-Spring- field and Inspiration Copper, all of which eclipsed previous records. Rails continued sensitive pending the out come of the developments at Wash ington and other representative shares including steel and coppers, showed some hesitation.

A NEW FRENCH
 CREDIT ARRANGED

Borrowings in large and small amounts by foreign governments and banks in the American money market continue to be effected with scarcely any intermission. A fresh instance of this tendency was afforded during the present week by the announcement that a group of French had closed ne- gotiations for a commercial credit of $25,OOO,0O0, the purpose being to fa- cilitate the purchase of American SUD- plies and merchandise. The new credit is for one year and is secured by French government bonds. Pay ment of the advances made under the credit is to be made in New York, and is guaranteed by the Bank of France It will be recalled that at about the same period a year ago French credit of $20,000,000 was ar ranged upon a similar basis, and it is stated that the repayment of the ad- vances made hereunder have been eff fected as fast as they matured. The terms upon which the French interests concerned in the present operation op- tain the accommodation are not stated but it is understood that they are sat- isfactory to the banking syndicate, headed by Brown Brothers & Co.,, of New York. which has granted the credit.-Bradstreet's.

WHICH IS AMERICANISM

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ON
 DISLOYALTY

Whoever, actuated by the pur- pose to promote the interest of a foreign power, in disregard of our own country's welfare or to injure
 .his Government in it's foreign re-
 ladons or cripple its industries at
 home, and whoever by arousing prsjudices of racial. religious or other nature, creates discord and strife among our people 50 as to obstruct the wholesome process of unification, is faithless to the trust which the privileges of citizenship repose in him and disloyal to his country.
 We. therefore. condemn as subversive of this nations unity and integrity, and as destructive. of its welfare, the activities and designs of every group or organiza- ton. political or otherwise, that has for its object the advancement of the interest of a foreign power. whether such object is promoted " int1midating tho Government, . political party, or represents tives of the people, or which is calculated and tends to divide our people into antagontstic groups and thus to destroy that complete agreement and solidarity of the people and that unity of sentiment and national purpose so essential to the perTetRt.y of'the nation and it's free institutions.
 We condemn all alliances and combinations of individuals in this country of whatever nationality G descent, who agree and conspfre together for the embarrassing or weakening our Government or of improperly influencing or coercing our public representatives in deal ing or negotiating with any foreign power. we charge that such con- spiraciss among g limited number exist and have been insdgated' for the purpose of advancing the tn- terests of foreign countries to the r1ejudice and detriment of our own country. We condemn any political party which, in view of the activity of such conspirators, surrsnders its integrity or modifes it's policy"

When E. A. Tapp, formerly
cashier of the LIST. National Bank
of Ocilla left his post without
notice for parts unknown, he
left behind him a shortage of
about $35. 900. Among the items
discovered fraudulent were two

through a Savannah bank, pur-
poting to be loans made to the
Bowen Telephone Co. of this city.
The notes turned..out to be pure
forgeries and the bank was called
upon to make good the loss.
Tapp has been gone about three
months and his whereabouts are
still unknown, however an effort
will be made to locate him, should

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Annual Sunday-SchooI Day,
February 10, 1916.

A day that is claiming the atten-
ton of the Sunday School people of
all denominations in Georgia just at
this time is the Second Annual
Georgia Go-To Sunday School Day, -"
which will be observed on Sunday.
February IS. The Sunday Schools
of all denominations are working to
have a record-breaking attendance
this day. From the Georgia Sunday
School Association. 1919 Hurt Build
ing, Atlanta, comes the information
that thousands of free programs are
being sent out to Sunday Schools
over the State, and many schools
are planning to more than double
their attendance.
In many places the officers of the
County Sunday SchCui Associations
and the Sunday School Superinten-
dents are meeting and making plans
for getting every Sunday School in
the county to work for a large at
tendance on Feb. Is. 1t has been
arranged for the Superintendents of
Atlanta to have a meeting on Jan.
"A and discuss ways and means for
bringing thou .nds into the Sunday
Schools of Atlanta.
The program for the day was pre-
pared by a committee appointed
from the Executive Committee of
the Georgia Sunday School Associa-
ton, and will be sent free on re-
quest to any Sunday School in the
State. 1t is expected that the Sun
day School attendance on this day
will break all past records of the
State. If every Sunday School
reaches'the aim that has been sug-
gested-5O per cent increase over
the average attendance-there will
be more than half million people
in the Sunday Schools.
Interest and enthusiasm is grow
ing daily in favor of the day. Pas
tors, superintendent, teachers, Sum-
day School members, the big and the
little, are all interested in getting a
big attendance for their Sunday
Schools.
