Personal Mention.
Milton Harrison. secretary of the saw
ings bank section of the American
Bankers Association. is in the city.
Mr.. Harrison has strong views on
the necessity of economy and sacrifice
that the big war loan may be success
fully fioated without seriously disturb
ing credits.
Worrying About Security.
Bankers expect their customers to
X very liberal buyers of the new war
bonds; indeed indications point very
strongly in that direction, If prelimi-
nary orders are any index. Very many
customers seem anxious for assurance
that their orders will be filed, and are
urgent in the matter. although there is
no question but that there will be
plenty of bonds to go around before
they are all placed.
Bankers understand that money paid
out for bonds may. at the discretion
Of the Secretary of the Treasury. be
redeposited, but security acceptable to
that official is obligatory. and as banks
cannot use their customers bonds they
are worrying a little over the security
TO be furnished.
The Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur
rency measure. saver of the country
when the European war broke out,
provided for the use of commercial pa
per approved by a committee of the as
ISOLATION of which the bank was a
member and by a representative of
the Treasury Department, and then by
the department itself.
The present federal reserve law gives
bankers permission to red.scount such
collateral. with their reserve bank. so
II is probable that some other security,
bonds. municipals and governments.
may be exacted.
Bankers are hoping for the unload
ing of many private boards as an as
sistance to war financing.

Brooklyn. He must have looked and hoped
he couldn't find it. | found both without

An Inevitable Loss

Fritz Kreiser has behaved with dignity
throughout difficult period, and he has
shown wisdom and self-respect in his de-
cision to forsake the concert stage for the
duration of the war. II is to be regretted
that so great an artist should be lost TO
cur halls even for a short period. But
under the circumstances his absence was
inevitable.
We have sympathy for Mr.. Kreisler in
his difficult situation, but we have very
little for those eloquent international souls
who are able TO find much time to lament
this "lawless and semi-barbarian" episode.
The appreciation of art is not an affair
of cold intellect any more than is the love
of ones country. The disembodied mind
that can listen to violinist from an ut
terly detached and abstract point of view
is to be suspected Of lacking true taste
The disembodied patriot who fights harder
for impartiality toward his country's en-
emy than for his country's safety Is
equally to be suspected of lacking true love
of country.
We have not rushed into the present war
head over heels, without ascertaining the
facts and concluding what must be done
We are fighting as the result of prolonged
investigation and debate. Our duty to-
Jay is to fight. When we have won we
can stop fighting, catch our breath and
resume the great debate. We can also &c
sumo our artistic poise along with such
other details as butter fats, proper al
lowance of sugar and reasonable love
for our enemies.
The man who devotes time and energy
to being meticulously neutral in his artis-
tic emotions when his country is at war
and her life threatened is the sort of man
who would wait to part his hair III the
middle and write letter to "The Evening
Post" before going to the rescue of his
wife attacked by burglar. Such a man
may be noble work of art, but he IS
even more a great friend of the burglar

A Plea for National Prohibition

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Enter votes for women in New York
enter also. on its heels the liquor question
Now, here is the heart of the question.
The goal is nationwide suffrage bill
through Congress, to be later ratified by
thirty-six states. Nothing can so further
ratification as this-that the women of New
York State show that theirs is cleanup
vote.
National prohibition comes before Congress
in December. New York has forty-three Rep
resentatives. Women, let them know that If
they vote for the saloon they vote against
the cleanup conscience vote Of the women
citizens -about-to-be of New York.
Let them know that women cannot send
TO Congress men who put money first and
social welfare second
Find out to-day who your Representative
is. Write him that your Senator's, Wads-
worth and Calder, in voting against war pro-
hibition voted against your wishes and be-
lief
But that was in the old day! This is an
other day. Let your Representatives know
that the cleanup conscience vote of woman
is here. Fight the good fight that is right
upon US against the saloon-and you help nj
one blow social welfare and ratification Of
the Federal amendment.
