That's just the difference between

In the midst of an argument designed

YOUTH HAS Close CALL
BEHIND RUNAWAY HORSE

Franklin Kirley, II years old, a
driver for Charles c. Mammele and
Son, narrowly escaped fatal injury
when he was thrown from the deliv-
cry wagon he was driving, at about II
o'clock this morning, following an ex-
citing runaway of about three blocks
and a spectacular finish in the drive
way leading TO the Hilles and Jones
plant, near Ninth and Church streets.
The trouble started at Seventh and
Locust streets, when the horse young
Kirley was driving slipped and
caught its leg over one OF the shafts
Frightened at this, the horse bolted
and ran up Locust street, Kirley try
ing IN vain TO stop the animal, unit
seeing the Hilles & Jones wall JUS
ahead, the horse swerved and attempt
ed TO dash into the driveway.
Young Kirley was thrown out, sus-
tanning bad bruises and a severe shak-
ing up. His leg is hurt, his right arm
and his side. His face also is badly
scratched He was given first aid
treatment at the Hilles & Jones plant
and went to his home.

Bonar Law Has Important
Message for American People

with cumbersome figures and intri-
cate facts, and never score an error.
Nobody is really more sure Of himself
than Bonar Law. Take that little mat
ter of raising five billion dollars:
Humbly, as beftting a mere cabinet
member he went to the inner circle
.of British finance. He asked the great
money experts how it should be done.
They fixed up plan. Law declared
on one change.
Make the interest five per cent. in.
stead of six.
Cant be DONE" protested the inner
circle of finance.
We'll, We'll try it," modestly OBJ.
served the chancellor.
All the world, including Germany,
now knows how we'll it was done The
change of one per cent. saved Brit
ain fifty million dollars a year interest.
Bonar Law told your correspondent
why he was so confident he could
raise a great loan at five per cent.
Read this newspaper tomorrow. But
first America ought to know about
the man, for two reasons. One is
that in case the next shuttle in Eng
lish politics should give the old con-
servative party control Bonar Law
would be the logical choice for prime
minister
The other is that there is big pro-
tective tariff fight coming in Great
Britain, one that will necessarily af-
feet America. And, Mr.. Law is the un-
questioned leader of the tariff reform
forces. On platform of "Bonar Law
and order he was elected to Parlia-
ment from Glasgow Nobody paid any
attention to him until one day the do
bate involved some tariff question. Up
he rose and began to offer facts, fig
ures and deductions. The effect was
tremendous. His career was mapped
out from that time on. Inevitably he
later became leader of the conserva-
tiyes, and as such he had many a
lively clash with Lad George.

NAL will print the nrst interview
given an American correspondent by

NO MONEY FOR MARSH
co. while BANKS ARE DOWN

The Levy Court today held up a
bill for $4OO from the St. Georges
Marsh Company for upkeep of the
banks Of the Delaware river on the
grounds that the company has not
made necessary repairs 10 the river

inland and damaged the county roads,
especially St. Georges causeway.
While there is no contract between
the Levy Court and the marsh COM
pany for the payment OF $4OO a year
towards the maintenance OF the river
banks, It has been customary for the
Levy Court to allow the company
this amount.
President Fouracre, taking the
floor. urged that the bill be not al
lowed until the marsh company re-
pairs its banks and Commissioner
Shaw agreed with Mr.. Fouracre.

RESERVE
MONEY FOR WAR
Banks Will Cash Army
Vouchers Until Congress
Allows Appropriation
WAR DEPARTMENT
CREDIT NOT GOOD
BY the United Press.

Dy tue Oulleu Press.
WASHINGTON, March o. - The
Federal Reserve Board. It was learned
today, has ord red ali Federal re-
serve banks to cash all United States
army qualtermas-er vouchers held by
government creditors, pending ad
tional appropriations by Congress.
In further announcement NO
Federal Reserve Board. it became
known also today. has informed all
member tanks Of III Federal Reserve
system, that lie government VIII
stand behind them and rediscoun; ang
vouchers at current fifteen day dis
count rates.
The action was taken when the War
Department became faced with mabll-
ity to obtain further supplies on
credit
Secretary OF War Baker conferred
WIN Secretary OF the Treasury Nc
Adoo and heads of the Federal Re-
ment
The arrangement places the whole
power OF the Federal reserve system
Dehind the War Department until such
time as the department. through con-
gressional action, can take charge OF
the situation without fear Of finan-
cial embarrassment.
Coincidently it became known to-
day that the offer of J. p Morgan &
20. to advance S1.000,000 without in
terest for payment OF government
creditors was made with the Morgan
company's knowledge Of the situation.
That offer has not been accepted. and
need not be, in view of the Federal
Reserve Boards action.
Fear by government heads that the
financial embarrassment might result
IN collapse of certain phases of fur
nishing supplies to the army and the
militia forces called out, resulted in
the federal reserve boards co-opera-
ton with the War Department.
The department owes S33 100000 on
debts incurred through the Mexican
border mobilization and with bills
piled up for running expenses for the
fiscal year, the department faced pos
sibility of refusal by certain firms to
advance further supplies on credit.
The action taken today, though Il
offsets these possible refusals as re-
gards purchase OF clothing, food, sub
sistence, transportation, quarters,
fuel, forage. ETC.. does not get around
a fund shortage that faces the War
Department as regards purchase Of
munitions and other actual war ma
terials.
1t was learned on highest authority
today that while many firms we're will
ing to sell supplies on credit to the
I government, -four companies notably,
were disinclined to follow suit. This
brought the climax and resulted in the
/ Federal Boards order.
