Finance and Industry For
War Progresses Rapidly

New York City, May 5.-(By mail. =
National mobilization of finance, in
dustry and trade to war basis is rap
idly progressing. Congress is intensely
occupied devising ways and means for
aiding in financing the war, while the
government through it's various agen-
cies is not only preparing the army and
navy, but also securing the cooperation
of the nation in every sphere of activ-
Iity, so that the whole country can work
as unit intellectually and efficient
Ily. This it is already doing with pa
triotism and vigor SURPRISING all eX-
pectations. Assistance of inestimable
value has been rendered by the French
and British commissioners now visiting
this country, who by giving the bene-
fit of their experience and suggesting
the direction of our efforts have un-
Idoubtedly saved us from many errors
and delays that would otherwise have
proved costly in life, time and mater
ials.
The most conspicuous influence Of
| the war in the security markets is the
raising Of $7,000000,000 for its sup
port. Secretary McAdoo has already an
nounced the first issue of $4,000, ,O00,-
! 900 31a per cent bonds on July lst at
| par, tax free. This issue will unquestion
ably be an overwhelming success, ma
tional patriotism alone being sure to
prove a powerful stimulant in this re-
spect. 1t will be popular loan in var
lied denominations to suit all purposes
and our firm will be glad to receive
subscriptions for the same without
lcharge. The effects of such vast oper'
lations are already being realized. The
Icollection of such immense amounts OF
funds will extend over considerable
iperiod of time. They will be withdrawn
lin manner creating the least possible
disturbance, but the nation s financla
machinery must inevitably undergo fal
reaching readjustment to meet these e2
traordinary new conditions. The sum-
raised by bond issues will be allowed

lies in various parts of the country un

suit will be an immense turnover and
an increase rather than decrease in
the aggregate amount of business trans-
acted, although a few lines of business
may suffer temporary contraction.
There will be more and more activity
in government issues, which ALREADY
constitute an important share of our
bond market.
The enormous demands of the gov
ernment upon the money market must
for the time being discourage ordinary
corporation issues of both bonds and
stocks, while some selling of the latter
may be expected by those wishing to
subscribe for the new bonds. In April
the recorded issues of railroad and in
dustrial corporations aggregated $780,
600, 700, compared with $312,000,000 a
month ago and 1921, 100000 year ago
The total issues of the same class since
January LIST, were $685. 100000, against
$992 ,000,0 900 at the same time last year.
These declines can be clearly attributed
to the diversion of capital from ordina-
ry channels to preparations for the big
government loan. In this connection 1t
lis appropriate to again express the hope
that congress will endeayor to act both
wisely and fairly in devising new meth
ods Of taxation. There should be no
disposition to favor or punish either
capital or labor AS far as practicable
each should bear their share in pro-
portion of their ability, for to penalize
any one class is foreign to American
ideas or government and would ulti-
mately injure the country as whole.
There is no sound objection to placing
higher rates upon large incomes and
excess profits, but if this is carried to
the point of drying up the main sourc-
es of capital and sitting enterprise, the
result will be harmful to all, rich and
poor alike. For the same reason the
call for economy should be obeyed con
scientiously, but with discretion. 1t may
be necessary to temporarily release la
Dor from unnecessary occupation IN or
der to provide for the more necessary
ones. Extravaganza and wanton expen
ditures should cease; but indiserimin
ate economy would bring the same re
suits under taxation of wealth, viz.
business depression and loss Of employ
ment.

Drive Wedge In.

Paris, May 10.-More gains by Gen
eral Nivelle's French troops in repuls-
ing an attack in the region Of Chevreux
and widening of the French wedge on
the German lines across the northern
slope of the plateau of Vauelerc, were
detailed in today's official statement.
German counter attacks of great
force were struck during the night
against several parts Of the French lines
along Chemin Des Danes, the war office
said All were unsuccessful The most
powerful of these blows was upon the
positions taken by the French in the
region Of Chevreux. So successful were
the French in repulsing this violent as
sault that they moved forward them
selves in following it up. Capture OF
fortified German position was an
nounced in the official statement as
the net result.
On the northern slope Of the plateau
OF Vaucuerc the French succeeded in
widening their grip, taking number or
prisoners belonging to new German
division. There were patrol and sklrm-

Big Hardware Stock Purchased by

Of Tarpon Hardware Co. Taken Over


Paul Cheyney who retired from bus
mess a short while ago, has sold his
stock of hardware to the Noblit Hard
ware company, and Mr.. Barnum has
asked The Leader to print a plain
statement of facts about the Noblit
Hardware company, which we are very
glad to do:
This is a straight statement of facts
between you and me, and | will deem
it a favor if you viii read it every
word. You viii know by the para
graph appearing at the top that We
have bought out the Tarpon Springs
Hardware company and then would
ike also to tell you that we have been
busy adding new lines and rearrang-
ing our stock and prices and its neat
ness and modernness and thorough
progressiveness linked with the fact
that it is the most up-to-date, hard
ware store in this part of Florida viii
make you probably jump at con-
ciusion that isn't true.
It's an American habit to ask who's
paying the freight" How many of us
conclude that modernness and beauty
in a mercantile institution cost exces-
sive money and are added to the cost
of the merchandise. ] want you to
take my personal assurance that this
doesn't apply in this store-I want
you to know that l am making this
store efficient so you will want to trade
in it and so / can give you better val
s.es because the greater volume of bus
mess that we are doing will justify it.
I want to point out one instance
that will prove the contention that I
am making here. When the New
York Central spent five million dol
lars to erect its Grand Central ter
minal in New York city the fare to
New York didn't go up. What it did
was to increase travel on that road TO
such an extent that the terminal was
soon paid for. You wouldn't believe
you were travelling to New York any
cheaper if the terminals were dingy
and old-fashioned, would you? ] ask
ed the Leader to publish this for one
purpose. want you to know that
bought the Tarpon Springs Hardware
Co. and am adding new lines and
many other things that are costing
money simply to attract, to sell more

them as they support us.
