TOURIST BUSINESS TO
ORIENT RUINED BY WAR
Omitted Press)

TOXIC, May 29.-The Orient's tour
list business, which promised to smash
all records this year, has been practi-
cally ruined by Americas belligerent
attitude and the submarine scare on
the Pacific. Never in history had
indications pointed to such a bumper
crop of American spenders as this
spring.
The rilHisha boys and curio men had
girded their loins and extended their
palms. All was ready for the Ameri-
can tourists spring drive on the far
east. And then President Wilson call
ed the Kaiser's hand and America dof-
fed her coat and stepped into the big
world scrap.
The big Togo Kisen Kaisha liner,
Tenyo Maru, due at Yakahame Apr. 80.
carried less than 100 passengers from
San Francisco. She has accommoda-
lions for $50 and practically every
cabin had been sold. And then came

the proposed debt, with our resources,
cOmpels the conclusion that such a
volume of borrowing, under present
conditions, will hardly impair, to the
slightest degree, the nations credit
and the successful consummation of
this loan will not require anything
like the financial strain that most
European nations have already sue
cessfully undergone.
The big factors in modern warfare
are men and money. Most nations
making ready for war first mobilize
their man-power. The United States
has reversed the usual order by first
mobilizing its money-power. The rea-
sons for this reversal are self evident.
This country, not being a military
power, did not have its men ready for
immediate fighting But, being the
richest nation in the world, its wealth
was ready for action. So, in its
anxiety to make its might Immediately
felt in the greatest war of all times,
it began by marshalling its dollars.
The Liberty loan means just what
its title implies. 1t is our first bit
added to the joint activities of liberty
loving nations to crush German auto
crazy and all that it stands for. 1t
is our immediate substitute for an
army. 1t is our offering to renew
the credit of the fighting allies so
they may not be hampered in their
grim task, until we shall be able to

place our army alongside theirs in the
trenches.
The Liberty loan was authorized by
congress within three weeks of the
date of our recognition of a state of
war with Germany. 1t outlined the
greatest financial program ever IN
dertaken by any nation on earth. 1t
authorized the secretary of the treas
ury to use the credit of the nation
to the extent of seven billions of dol
lars-five billions to be borrowed by
the sale of bonds, and two billions to
be raised by certificates of indebted
ness. 1t provided that three billions
of dollars of this money should be
loaned to our European allies with
out profit to the United States. 1t
fixed the interest rate at not to exceed
81 per cent and provided that if, at
any time during the war, the United
States issued other loans at a higher
rate, these bonds would be convert
ible at the higher rate.
Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo Immediately began to make
available to the allies a portion of the
credit represented by the certificates
of indebtedness. Through the machin-
cry of the Federal Reserve system
banks were asked to subscribe two
hundred million dollars of this amount.
The response was overwhelming and
the offering was almost Immediately
repeated with the same result. Secre-
tary McAdoo made immediate loans to
the allies as follows: Great Britain
1925 ,OOO,O 900; France s100,0O0,O00, and
Italy $100,000,000. A program was
outlined to extend additional credit at

If you sigh for the slim silhouette,
and long, straight lines in a summer
frock, consider the virtues of the sim
pie model pictured above. Artists al
ways approve these things and just
now art and fashion are of one mind !;
for fashion applauds slenderness above
all things. Let the plump girl con-
vince herself that she can achieve it
by picking out one of the new striped
cottons or silks and making a faithful
copy of this dress She Will realize
what startling Illusions can be wrought
with stripes in the hands of an export
designer.
The blouse is to be made of plain
thin, wash silk or of georgette crepe
with the silk preferred if the dress is
to be of cotton goods. 1t has sailor
collar and jabot fiounces at the front,
full sleeves gathered into deep cuffs
and is very plain-an prOclaiming it
the last word in summer blOuses. The
cuffs are of the same fabric as the
dress. The waistline is q little length
ened by a wide belt which does not
set close to the figure. Through a
slash at each side wide suspenders
come through the belt and are lost
under similar slashes at the back
These slashes are buttOnholed about
the edges to keep them from fraying.
There is very little fullness in the
wide yoke made with stripes running
round the figure, but plenty of it in
the lower part of the skirt which is
plated into the yoke. The plaits are

If you are trying to get through the
summer on the minimum number of
parasols get one that is odd enough
always to look unusual or else get one
that is a combination parasol and UNI
brella. The combination article is
really a small umbrella of cOlOred silk,
with a short handle supplied with n
silk strap for the wrist and a short
black ferrule. For the unusual type
of parasOl nothing is more charming
than one modelled on strictly Japanese
lines. One of the smart shops shows
a figured crepe parasol made exactly
like the japanese paper parasols with
the thin wooden or bamboo ribs ex-
posed on both sides.

ter hat is the always sprightly and be
coming tricorn, in which the popular
combination of silk and straw appears
to great advantage. Simplicity and
exquisite workmanship distinguish it.
Its only ornament is a motif of en-
brOidery in silk and beads. At the
left Il hat with dropping brim takes
advantage of it's opportunity to be
come beloved by adding a double frill
of lace hair braid to its brim-edge,
sure to be becoming. The hair braid
appears again at the top of the crown,
held in place apparently by a collar of
satin ribbon finished with a prim bow
at the front. Sprays of burnt ostrich
curl about the side crown.
At the right a round turban adds
to its height by an edge of lace hair
braid which helps out the ambitions
Of the brim in this direction. A brush
aigrette and lustrous black ribbon con-
tribute much style to this stunning
little model.

ceal the plain space between the
groups Of stripes. The skirt is cut
shoe-top length and might be very
little longer and add to the apparent
length of the figure. There is nothing
unusual or particularly original in this
model but it is in a nice sense of
proportion that it is excellent. The
adroitness with which the designer
has used familiar modes to accom-
plish his results, prOclaims the artist.
This is simple dress, appropriate
to midsummer wear at any time of
day, and so well suited to the plump
figure that we must believe it was
made with that end in view.

Just the most chic and reliable of
all hats is the little black hat that
makes its appearance each season, to
be welcomed by a waiting world of
women. For styles may come and
styles may go, but the vogue of the lit
tie black hat goes on forever. Those
who create it are confronted by the
difficulty of avoiding the commonplace
because a large proportion of the buy
ers of black hats are women of con-
servative taste. But there is no direc-
ton in which successful effort in de-
signing meets with so much profitable
appreciation.
Not all little black hats are con-
sentative in shape and trimming
Shapes that are daring, or even a bit
rakish, are permitted in black, and
admired. So that there is a little
black hat for everyone, and everyone
wants one and should have one. if for
no other reason than appearing Occa-
sionally in all-black. There is nothing
somber about black in millinery this
season, because of the brilliance of
braids and trimmings, nearly all little
black hats are of lisere-a braid with
a highly polished surface-lacquered
ribbons, jet beads and other shiny or
naments add luster to the shape.
The group of three hats in the ac-
companying picture includes represen-
tative shapes and trimmings. The CEN

FROM A WESTERN SUBSCRIBER.

Bisbee, Ariz. Aug. 14th, 1917.
Dear Mrs. Carter:
Knowing of your great interest
in the copper state of Arizona, and
that you having read much of its
mammoth development; and since r
am here in this beautiful, busy valley,
! am writing you about Bisbse, the
greatest and most interesting mining
camp in the South West.
Nearly one half of all our copper
is produced in Arizona. 1t is evident
that in this district and Douglas, Ari-
iona, which is on the Mexican border
and about six miles from Bisbee,
where the large smeIters are located
that they have not been affected by
the labor troubles of the last two
months; as there has been no decline
in the production of copper.
The copper producing properties Of
Arizona are in strong positions; and
at this time there is no recognized
union Organization participating with
the |. W. WIS who were recently elm
mated.
1t is said here that it cannot be
learned the exact cost of producing
copper Outside of the explored de-
posts, no one can determine the as
sets in a copper mine. Millions of
dollars have been, and are being spent
in development work.
The rate of wages in Bisbee and
most copper camps is dependent en-
tirely upon the price for copper; as
the companies and miners are in part
nership, and the wages are dependent
upon the price of the metal.
Five dollars and seventy five cents
per day for miners wages for eight
hours work is paid here.
Many of the rich or bonanza
ere bodies of copper have been found
here. In Bisbee, are located two of
the largest copper mines in the South
west.
Preparedness" seems to be pre-
valent in the mines in Arizona, in
consequence the mines here today
have more ore blocked out than ever
before. Bisbee is very busy and
prosperous mining town; the popu-
lation is estimated at about twenty
thousand inhabitants. The climate
is delightful, at shutdown it grows de-
lightfully cool. The sunsets and the
mountains are grand. The winters
are mild here. Great mountains rise
on each side of the valley, and look
ing from high pinnacle known as
The Divide" the rugged mountains
of Mexico rise in beauty from the
vast intervening plain; and there is
a magnificent view into the heart of
the primitive, beautiful valley Of Bis
bee.
Best wishes for you and for the
continued success of the Marietta
Journal.
Very truly yours,
MRS. RHEA McGINTY.
