The French people are the greatest
investors in government bonds in the
world. At the close of the Franco
Prussian war in 1870 Germany demand
ed and collected from France 1,OOO,-
600, 900 indemnity. The French people,
who were as loyal then in responding
to their country's need as their soldiers
are today, FASTENED to loan this ire
mendous sum to their country. Their
patriotism turned a great misfortune
| into a great benefit. Their thrift in
thus saving their money and investing
| in government bonds not only brought
| great prosperity to France but the
bonds rose in value all over the world
and made the French national credit
good wherever civilization existed. Ten
wears after the bonds were issued they
commanded premium of Is per cent:
What the American nation is called
upon to do in lending the American
government SIS, 900, 100000 and taking
| its bonds therefor is little compared
with the loan of $1,000 600 to
France after the Franco-Prussian war
bv the French people. Called upon to
do much less than their present allies,
the French, the American people will
demonstrate that they are second to no
people in the world in patriotic support
q, of their government. With wealth
nearly three times as great as that OF
Great Britain it is trying to borrow
less than one-half of what Great Brit
ain has borrowed With population
one and one-half times as large as that
of Germany our loan is much less thar
half of the amount that Germany has
borrowed. Americas Liberty Loan Is
less than one-sixth of the bank deposits
in our country. An ordinary borrower
| does not think he is running himself
when he borrows 40 per cent of the
value of his property. The United
States is borrowing less than 8 pei
cent of its wealth.

for setting the plants out in the field,

THE estimated increase in operating
expenses of the railroads of Wisconsin
for 1917 is placed at so millions of dol
lars. While manufacturers and mer-
chants have kept pace with the situa-
ton by advancing the selling price of
their products, the railroads who have
nothing to sell but transportation must
go to the interstate commission for per-
mission to increase rates. They have
laid their case before that body and
are awaiting it's decision. 1t is imper-
atiye that speedy action be taken for
the welfare of the country. We be-
lieve the people generally are disposed
to be fair even when the railroads are
concerned.

Keep Business Moving.

Waste is bad thing-False economy
is worse. The carrying of rifle and
the making of shells is highly patri-
otto service. 1t is equally as important
and as patriotic to keep business NOV
ing, to raise crops, to produce and dis
tribute goods. For every soldier at
the front we need five men behind the
lines-in business, agriculture, mining
and manufacture.

HELP win the war by the utmost
saving of food. In ordinary times our
waste of food has been grave mis-
take. Now it is criminal. The depart
ment of agriculture says the country is
losing $500, 100000 annually through
food waste in kitchens and dining
rooms. Conservation Of food was never
so important as now. The housewife
who lets disable scrap of food go to
the garbage can is complicating the
food problem of the whole country in
contributing directly to shortage and
high prices.

Armed Neutrality

to secure their menaced interests by
such combinations as seem best calcu-
lated to accomplish that purpose.
SAN armed neutrality is in fact an
alliance of several powers usually of
a defensive character, though this is
by no means essential"
During the present war Holland and
Switzerland have maintained what
amounts to an armed neutrality al
though it has been confined to land.
Armed neutrality was adopted by
the United States soon after 1778,
when war broke out between France
and Spain and France and Great Brit
ain. Neutrals became alarmed at the
dangers with which the maritime
rights were threatened and the en-
press of Russia undertook to unite
them in defense of their neutral
rights. This formed the basis of
treaties between Russia, Denmark,
Sweden, Holland, Austria and Portu-
gal. They formed league which un-
der the name of armed neutrality un-
dertook to preserve inviolate the
maritime rights of neutrals.
These declarations were recognized
by the treaty of peace between Great
! Britain and France and were the es-
tablished law OF nations when the
United States, in 1873, recognized as
| independent by the powers of the
world. .-- s-.-#
The last time the United States was
! in a state of armed neutrality was
! during the war between France and
England, which ended with the down
/ fall of Napoleon.
/ After many acts against American
| commerce bound for England, France
On January 18, 1898, decreed that
( every vessel found at sea loaded with
merchandise produced in England or
her possessions could be made ? prize.
Many American vessels were seized
and in June of 1898, President Adams
began to obtain from congress broad
authority to protect American COM
merce and to put the United States
! in a better position to make war if it
/ became necessary.
In rapid succession laws were made
| to increase the naval armament; to
authorize a provisional army, to ar
rest and expel aliens, to authorize the
| defense of merchant ships against
French war vessels and to enable the
president to borrow money. On July
z, 1913, President Adams approved an
act reciting that since treaties repeat
eddy have been violated by France,
! just clafSos for reparation of refused
and system 'of predatory violence"
had been pursued by the French gov
eminent the United States were "of
right freed and exonerated from the
stipulations of the treaties" and that
these compacts should not henceforth
be regarded as legally obligatory on
the government or citizens of the
United States,
