AMERICANS ARE
HIGHLY PRAISED
DIR. WILLIAM T. FOSTER DE-
SCRIBES GREAT RED CROSS
WORK ABROAD

A crowd that filled the university
auditorium heard the illustrated lee
ture delivered last night by President
William T. Foster of Reed college or
Red Cross activity in stricken France
and Belgium as he observed it on re-
cent visit to the western front.
With carefully chosen picture and
dramatic incident, DR.. Foster led his
audience through that entire devastat-
ed area
Red Cross Liars
He silenced those American skeptics
who have cast aspersons at the alleg-
edly large salaries paid Red Cross ad-
ministratOrs with the statement that
Major Murphy of General Pershing's
staff, receives no consideration for his
services, although he gave up a SAL
airy of $15O,OO0 a year to take the posi-
ton, and with further figures showing
that the many Red Cross workers now
serving in executive capacities receive
dIl average SIlpSllu VI PAJo q JCol
Those Fighting French
Glowing tribute was paid the French
people, both women and men for the
ardor of spirit that finds them still
holding the thin line of democracy aft
er three years of warfare with the
worlds greatest military power.
In his consideration of the varied
phases of the Red Cross, DR.. Foster
took occasion to eulogize the American
nurses and ambulance men who are
giving their heroic services to all of
the allied armies, saying that he never
heard from them a word of complaint
at the appalling conditions under which
they are compelled to live.
Rush Surgical Dressings
He urged more intensive activity
along the line of the preparation of
surgical bandages, stating that the
present demand is so much greater
than the supply that all of the band
ages now being sent must be rushed
to the front the minute they are re-
,aivad

LAST DAY FOR OBTAINING
MOTORBOAT LICENSES
New Rule Applies Also to Operation
of Yachts and Sailboats-May
Be Modified

This Is the last day for obtaining licenses
to operate yachts, sailboats and motorboats
in the Fourth Naval District which in
cludes all waters above Delaware Bay.
After this day all persons operating such
boats without licenses will be subject to
arrest and fine and their craft will be sub
ject to confscation.
Commandant Cooper, of the Fourth Naval
District, issued the foregoing warning from
his headquarters at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard today.
One Of the new rules governing traffic on
the rivers prohibits the operation of sailing
or motor craft between sunset and sunrise,
This has brought a bitter wall from many
owners Of such craft who work in daytime
and will get little fun out of boating IL
the rule continues in effect.
They complained to Commandant Cooper
who said there had been no intention 10

LONDON, July 20.--Generally, the under
tone of securities on the Stock Exchange
was steady today, but trading was not
brisk. There was the customary alb
senteeism noted at the end Of the week.
The gilt-edged section was firm, with a
good demand for investment. Allied bonds
were dull. French and Russian descrip-
tions were easier, notwithstanding improved
news from Petrograd. Americans were
quiet, and some issues were lower
Canadins were neglected. Home lines
were inactive and mixed. the first half

MONEY-LENDING RATES

NEW YORK-Money on call opened lend
ing and renewing at y per cent; later
per cent then per cent.
TIE future of the money market was the
fact that, with loaning rates as usual
carrying over until Monday. the tone was
somewhat easier. Call funds were in more
liberal supply at a substantial reaction
from the extreme rates of the week, and
there was a little more disposition on the
part of lenders to put out time money.
Rates were not altered, however. for the
last mentioned. On good mixed Stock Ex-
change collateral rates were 4 "a q AN per
cent for sixty days to four months. and "a
as per cent for Ave and six months. In
dustral loans averaged Az per cent with
exceptional transactions shade lower.
Prime bank acceptances moved somewhat
more actively at unchanged quotations OF
