society now authorized by this govern ment to render aid to it's land and naval forces in time of war, and that any other society desiring to render assistance can do so only through the American National Red Cross
 Tn his remarks on behalf of the war council of the American Red Cross made by the chairman, MT. Da- vision, to delegates to the Red Cross chapters assembled in Washington on the 24th of last month" MT. Moor man continued. He said among other things:
 "We are asking for $1O0,O0O,0o It is large sum of money, but, believe me, the people of this country are not only going to supply that one hundred million, but very great deal more!
 There has been some question about the obligations of the Red Cross and it's particular field of work. If the

Red Cross is to be the recognized organization through which this work must be carried on, it must work Tn many new fields, in many new ways.
 "Our great trouble today is that our people do not realize the situation throughout the countries now at war. They must be made to realize them and the obligation upon us IS 10 see that it is done as soon as possible.
 The Red Cross is doing noble ork. And it is an obligation upon every man. woman and child in this country. hope that it will be sui ficiently well realized that we shall not only enjoy the satisfaction of con tributing our energies and our money but we will also have thereby re- ceived a very great benefit.

Many of them do not return from Paris as efficient soldiers as they were when they went there. Our American soldiers must have a home in France, somewhere to rest, somewhere to find a friendly att mosphere. somewhere to go for re- creation and wholesome amusement.

We want to make it certain that as many as possible return in health and strength, and not afflicted with disease from which our forethought might have protected them.

small buyer of the liberty loan bond, by asking very few questions, could learn that today England is paying her people well over 5 per cent for money raised by sale of war bonds; that this country is raising money here at 31a per cent and lending it to our allies for less than they can borrow at home; that we'll secured railway bonds can be purchased in the open market at prices offering an income return of from AZ to 51a per cent or more; in brief, that our government is not meeting the money market, a condi-. tion that must be remedied before the next loan is offered
 Hence, it Is safe to predict that the next installment of the liberty loan bonds will bear interest at the rate of 4 or AZ per cent, probably the last figure named. To do that the war loan act, passed on April ,2A, 1917, authorizing the sale of s5.oo0, 100000 31a per cent tax exempt, bonds at not less than par will have to be repealed.
 Wall street has been laboring under the deluson that if the interest rate Is so changed the outstanding 31a per cent bonds must be converted into new 1 or Az per cent tax exempt bonds. It is true that the law provides for conversion of the outstanding 31as into any subsequent issue bearing a higher interest rate; but lI1e power ullutT Lu6 ldW to IlX t16 tax exempt clause is placed In the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury. On that point MT. McAdoo has already issued a statement, which plainly does not commit the government to offer taX-exempt bonds bearing a higher interest rate for the outstanding tax-exempt 31as. Here is what he said in an official circular on the liberty loan issued by the treasury department under date of May IA, 1917:
 .'Tf SI1hSanllanf cprieq nf cho11 be issued by the United States at higher rate of interest than 31a per cent per annum before the termination of the war between the United States of Amer ica and the imperial German government the date of such termination to be fixed by proclamation of the President of the United States) the holders of any of the bonds of the present issue shall have the privilege of converting the same within such period and upon such further terms and conditions covering matters of de- tall as the Secretary of the Treasury may subscribe into an equal par amount of bonds bearing such higher rate of in terest and substantially identical with the bonds of such new series, except that the bonds issued upon such conver- sion are to be identical with the bonds of the present series as to maturity of principal and interest and terms of re- demption.''
 Until there is a test case no one can predict what is meant by the foregoing qualifying expression substantially iden- tical." Certainly that is loophole if the government desires to use it. But in or dinary everyday affairs the straight forward, honorable course would be to convert the tax-exempt 31as into the next bond issue bearing a higher interest rate and include the tax exempt feature The first issue should not have been tax ex- empt, but after having made bad bar gam the only honorable course is to stick to it.
