five MORE
ARE ADDED TO
WAR COUNCIL
ENLARGEMENT OF WAR BODY
EXPECTED TO MAKE MOVE
MENT OF TROOPS TO THE WAR
ZONE IMMEDIATE POSSIBILITY

Washington, Dec. 18.-Secretary
Baker today moved forward the or
ganization of his newly created war
council by relieving from their present
duties three of the five officers as
signed to that tody. This will leave
them free to devote all their time to
the councils task of coordinating all
war department activities in such a
way that the time heretofore believed
to be necessary for the sending to
France of an army of sufficient size
to insure the defeat of Germany will
be materially reduced.
Mr.. Baker announced that Major
General Goethels has been recalled to
active duty and would become acting
quartermaster-general, releasing Ma
jor General Sharpe for service with
the council. Major General Weaber
will be relieved by Brig. General Bar
rette, who becomes acting chief of
coast artillery and Major General Gro
zier by Brigadier General Wheeler,
who becomes acting chief of ordinance.
General Bliss, chief of staff, and
Major General Crowder; the ottiller Of
fcers on the council, will retain their
present positions, the farmer as chief
of staff and the latter as Judge advo-
cate general and Provost Marshal Cen
eral. General Bliss retires December
81 for age but probably will continue
on the council. Preparations being
made today for the council indicated
that General Crowder might be able to
devote only small part of his time
hereafter to other duties.
Mr.. Baker indicates in his last war
review that the Russian armistis has
made it necessary for the United
States to accelerate it's war prepara-
tions. The gap in the allied ranks
caused by Russia, must be filled
promptly, many officers here say, if
the general situation shall continue to
show a balance of actual as we'll as
potential power in favor of the United
States and the allies when the sum-
mer campaign reaches its height in
1918.

BANKS LOAN" MONEY.
They Don't Lend" It Because 1t Is .
 Business Transaction.

Why is 1t banking houses always loan their huge sums of'money. uev- CT by any chance lend" them: Lend is the true verb. while 'loan" was ex- clusively the noun. How came 1t about that ito loan" has uniformly supplant ed ito lend:"
 The purists make d great fuss about this. They insist that the stupid and untaught financial world has foisted upon the language a substantive verb when no new verb was needed. when fixed in the signitication of ito lend But prior to the modern development of business enterprise when money was lent it was bestowed upon the bOr- rower either for temporary use with out compensation. as mark of favor or patronage. or by the professional money lender who. taking advantage of persons ill extremities of need. de manded usuriouS interest. This Anglo Saxon verb today retains it's ancient connotation When it was coined the productive powers of money were un known and the wealth of rich men was locked up for safety and kept out of the channels of commerce.
 Nowadays. by devices of credit and rapid intercommunication. it is kept constantly working in productive en- terprises. Immense loans are made. no longer to relieve the necessitOns and the improvident. but to stimulate in dustry and to enable the borrower as transactions. Money is loaned" in this sense. It is not lcnt.-New York Times

SIX SIDED SNOW CRYSTALS.
That is Natures Law, but Why it To
 So Science Cannot Explain.


 Snow crystals obey an immutable law of six. They are six sided jewels or six pointed stars. They never an swer to the law of four or five. Snow is crystallized water, and water always crystallizes in six sided forms. Why: No one ever will know. There is no more apparent reason for the sixness of crystallized water than there is for the monOclinic prisms of sugar crys- tals. Water and sugar and the com plex minerals which make the granite rock all follow laws which are utter. ly unchangeable but which are. as far as we can see. without any special req. son. It is as profitable to speculate why the chlorophyll of vegetation is green and why the blood of animals Is red
 The whiteness of the snow is under standable. It is due to the fusion of prisnic coors scintillating from the countless surfaces of minute crystals. Human science comprchends this. It also comprehemds the fact that snow is d poor conductor of heat and thus prevents terrestrial radiation and keeps the earth and the things in the earth snug and warm under the white blan. ket which is softer and finer than lambs wool or eiderdown. Science knows why SHOW is white and why it is beneficent. but it cannot explain the law of six.
 It is well that snow cannot be al together explained. It is one of the earth's most beautiful mysteries. It would lose something in beauty were 1t to lose all it's mystery.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
