Marshal Joffre, victor OF the

Two French officers came fo1 ward

Great Loans Stabilize

The immense war loans that are being made by
our country will have a >tabzing influence on
American society.
This il the opinion Of DR.. ArbuthnOt. professor
Of econo mics at Western Reserve university. He
believes there will be Il decrease of extravaganza
and in thrift and savings, also greater
respect for property. Thousands who never knew
what bond was are buying them now The bond
selling houses through their advertising reached Il
large class Of people, but the number is nothing
compared with what these loans have reached. PEG
pie are seeing how easy it is to become Il bond owner
There will he less talk of the "bUated b0ndhOl1er
and more respect for the man who an save
Il do not think it will keep the rich rich and the
poor poor any more than present conditions, be-
cause money in bonds is easy to get hold of and
the prodigal sell his bonds as readily as his
dads mining stock. But it will increase the res
pect for property of every kind"
The thought of the learned professor is not for
elgn to that of successful father who told his son
that the best thing that could happen to him was
to 60 heavily in debt on some enterprise land then
have sense enough to work it OUT

WHERE Is THE SILVER SERVICE?

Not so much as a peep has come out of the town
in response to the suggestion made some weeks ago
that Honolulu give the rechrstened Schurz silver
service ON account of this reorganized ship being
the first naval vessel to be turned out as product
of the Pearl Harbor naval station
The silence seems to indicate that the people of
the town think we'll of saving their money to pro-
vide the silver gold service for the future battle
ship Hawaii
There may be another reason and it appears to
be a good one.
What has become of the silver service that may
have been On board this ship when twas known
as the Geier?
Is such silver service still in Honolulu and is
it in the possession of our American authorities :?
If not, who has it, and why?
This ancient plate, if it exists, properly marked
to show the historical experience of this ship of war
would be much more interesting and appropriate
than anything new that could now he purchased
for the Schurz.

Soldiers Like Riley's Poems

The librarian of Camp Funston (Kansas) is
making some interesting discoveries about the
kind of literature the soldiers like. The fact of
the matter is that they prefer poetry to prose and
that the poems of James Whitcomb Riley are
most in demand.
It seems strange that men engaged in martial
enterprises should occupy their spare time read
ing Riley in preference to books that have to do
with military science.
And vet the reason is not buried SO deep that
you cannot discover it without much penetration.
The boys have fond memories of the old home.
the old swimming hole, fields and streams. And
Riley is the American poet who brings back vivid
ly to their minds the scenes in which yesterday
they were actors
Naturally they turn to his poems when they
are through with days drill and work. Here's
recreation and refreshment that transplants
them hundreds of miles and puts them down amid
the environment Of home.
Many tributes have been paid to the great
Hoosier poet, but greater than the avidity
with which the soldiers are reading his works.
Another favorite poet is Paul Laurence Dun
bar, the most famous of all negro poets, whose
early years are intimately connected with Rich
mond. It was Richmond woman who first saw
genius in the negro lad and set his foot on the
rung of the ladder Of fame. Dunbar and Riley
head the list of books requested by the Kansas
soldier boys
The librarian also noticed that requests fol-
copies of Hoye, standard authority on the great
American game of poker, are not in demand
Either there are enough authorities in the reg
ments or the boys have forsaken their cards, ano
that is something new in the American army.
