1T is not at all surprising to learn
that German firms at Hong Kong
added dishonesty to their reckless.
ness in trading. The winding-up in
quiries disclosed the fact that the
bulk of their business was actually
done on capital borrowed on what
were virtually false pretenses from
London finance houses. Nor is it sur
prising to learn that merchants who
treated their own letters of lien as
so many scraps of paper deliberately
violated the conditions under which
they were allowed to continue bust

The periodical says that Mr.. Moss
certainly shows that the methods of
German traders "are for the most
part methods to be avoided" and adds
in conclusion:
"And Hong Kong Is not the first

that German commerce, about the

NC MANUS APPOINTED
DIRECTOR SECRETARY
OF WICHITA BANK
FORMER PENITENTlARY WARDEN
TAKES POSITION VACATED BY
T. J. GUlLFOIL, RECENTLY PRO-
NOTED TO HIGHER JOB.

John McManus, for five years
superintendent of the state peniten-
tiary, has been appointed director
secretary Of the Federal Farm Loan
bank at Wichita, Kansas. y He will
leave tomorrow for Wichita, and will
take charge of his new duties on July
S.
Mr.. McManus succeeds Thomas ].
Guilfoil, formerly secretary of the
Democratic state central committee,
who has received a promotion. Mr..
Guilfoil's advancement in the Federal
service came as a result of a recent
visit to Washington, where he was
called in connection with the prepare
ton of forms to be used by Federal
Farm Loan banks throughout the
United States.
Mr.. McManus proved himself one
of the most efficient officers Of the
first state administration in New
Mexico. He made the New Mexico
p%enitentiary one o fthe model state
prisons, of the country, and gave it
a business administration unsurpass-
ed by that of any similar institution.
He will take to the Wichita branch
of the Federal Farm Loan system the
same efficiency that he demonstrated
lin the ~penitentiary management, and
the Wichita institution is fortunate to
secure his services. T,
Mrs. McManus and two daughters
will not go to Wichita tomorrow with
Mr.. McManus, but will join him there
in the year.
Mr.. McManus' host OF friends in
New Mexico will regret his departure
from the state, but will be pleased to
know that he does not intend to give
up his legal residence here. In a poll.
tical way the appointment will give
general satisfaction, as it is a recog-
milton of the work of n of the strong
men of the Democratic party in New

statement Of former State Senator B.

There has been some discussion in

aviators instead of cowboys, and there
has been considerable speculation as
to what success the venture will have.
"The principal trouble has been to
get, not the aeroplane but the avia-
tor" said Mr.. Pankey. There is a
big demand for aviators and it takes
some time to train a man, as every
body should know. The European war
will demand the service of thousands
of American a~viators, especially if the
plan to geve battle in massed aerial
attacks is carried out. But I am still

message with his friend. Ike" Hoover,
chief usher Of the White House.
Leaving the White House in an auto
mobile with his daughter. Mrs Alice
Longworth. the colonel paid a visit to

cans in years to come will be proud.
The question now rests with the people
to see that we put into practice the pol

TWO PARTIES AT ODDS

Democrats Would Raise War Revenue

The Ways and Means Committee Of the

set about raising the income of the gov
ernment to meet the needs OF the army

The suggestion of the President, en-

that the expenses of this entrance into
the field OF world war must be borne by
the present generation in the form OF
taxes in equivalent or nearly equivalent
amount to the needs of the nation in war

proval of the Republicans. The opposi-
ton party is disposed to favor prodig-
ious bond issues. They will urge that It
is posterity for which the United States
Is entering the war, and that posterity
must bear a fair share of the burden.
In the view OF the Republicans, no
scheme of taxation can be put into eff
feet with sufficient speed to raise the
money Immediately needed. They urge
that in the early stages of the war the
most that can be expected of taxation Is
to meet the interest payments on the
war loans. This Is the first suggestion Of

ties in dealing with the newly created
