Humanity's Spokeswoman.

From an observant listener. a con-
scientious voter and a comparatively
silent member. Miss Jeanette Rankin,
Representative in Congress from Mon
tana, has emerged into the national
limelight as a vigorous and forceful
factor in humanitarian legislation.
The eyes of the nation have been
upon Miss Rankin. Hers has been
particularly hard position to fill. 1t
will be harder in the coming days OF
the Sixty-fifth Congress.
In her close observation OF the ma
chinery of government as 1t operates
through its legislative branch she has
apparently reached the conclusion that
the interests, that big business, that
any magnitude has its spokesmen in
both the upper and lower branches
Of Congress: and her eefforts will be
best applied for the unorganized eie-
! ment-the great cosmopolitan army of
workers and the humble mothers and
! fathers that will furnish the sinew,
, the spirit. and the love of country
| that will win this war.
Making the greatest sacrifice of all
flesh and blood-Miss Rankin be-
| lieves. as expressed in the terms of
her latest bill, that the mothers and
the dependents of our fighting men
should not be forced to civic sacrifice.
Her bill providing compensation for
the woman who stays at home and
keeps the family together while the
husband and father goes to war is
thoroughly sound and intensely wom-
anly. From $50 to s75 a month as
provided by its terms is not extrava-
CANT.
In tightening the burden of those
who are left behind. she has the sup
port of the whole nation in her bill.
We wish her every success in the long
and difficult task of making it law.
May her future efforts be just as con-
structive for American humanity.

In the financial district II is the ex-
pectation that the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. McAdoo, will offer an
other loan to the American people at
some time within the next four
months. 1t may be for as much as
IS, 900, 10000. In-fact, the impression
or conjuncture in the financial district
is that the Secretary may deem 1t ex-
pedient to offer the entire amount OF
the balance of 5000 100000 which was
authorized by Congrss, s., ,0oo. 10000 of
which have already been marketed.
There are some interesting conjec-
lures regarding the details OF the new
loan. VIII the Secretary Ak the rate
at 31-2 per cent? In view OF the
fact that the liberty loan was over
subscribed by more than 81 600 O0O, 900,
the surmise is ventured that the Sec
retary will deem the rate OF interest
on the new loan of 31-2 per cent suf-
fiCient to tempt the investors to ac-
Cept the offering even though 1t be
for 5000 10000.
Another conjecture relates to the
time when the offering will he made.
That involves several considerations.
One OF these is based upon the fact
that the Secretary is rapidly disburs-
ing the proceeds of the liberty loan in
advances to the allies, doing so at a
rate which, IL continued. is likely to
exhaust that loan by midautumn, GER
tainly by late autumn. II Is presum-
ed that the Secretary will deem II the
better part not to wait until the lib
erty loan is exhausted before offering
the new loan.
There MT
of the Federal reserve banks, situated
in districts which are agricultural
have in an informal way suggested
that the new loan he offered soon af-
ter the farmers begin to receive pay
ment for their crops. No small part
of these payments will he made by
the allies, who will utilize the ad-
vanCes made to them by our govern
ment out OF the liberty loan. There
fore 1t = reasonable to suspect that a
considerable part of the money which
Secretary McAdoo received on ac-
count of the liberty loan will be utiI-
lied in paying for bonds of the new
loan.
So again, II third loan Is author
lied by act of Congress. presumably
a considerable part OF it will repre-
sent payments which were made on
account of purchases by the allies Of
American commodities. the funds for
these purchases having been secured
by advances made by our government
to the allies
The Comptroller OF the Currency,
John Shelton Williams, called for a
report OF the condition of the ma
tiOnal bands, as these were about the
time of the closing of the liberty loan.
These reports have been eagerly
studied and the lesson they contain is
reported by those in authority in the
Federal reserve districts as gratify-
ing and wholesome. For, notwith-
standing the studendous figures which
the liberty loan represent, the ma
tional banks throughout the entire
country are discovered to be in a very

sound condition, and in some of the
districts unusually strong.
Not until after the war ends, and
there is time carefully to study the
relation of the national banks and OF
the Federal Reserve banks to the
floating of the liberty loan, will the
people realize how stupendous was the
burden which was occasioned by the
liberty loan that was borne by the
banks. The detail work was not only
exacting. but enormous. There were
numberless entries and a vast amount
of bookkeeping. The banks greatly
facilitated the Treasury Department
by taking care OF the detail work
made necessary by recording SUBJ
scriptions and handling payments
made by individuals on account OF
subscriptions.
This was all service OF the best kind,
1t was not only voluntary service, but
1t entailed an expense which, in the
aggregate, amounted TO many thou
sands of dollars, ali of which was
cheerfully borne by the national
banks
Another important detail. The banks
throughout the country found that in
addition to this voluntary service, In
aid OF the Liberty Loan, they were
compelled to readjust the system of
reserves which heretofore has been in
effect; for Congress by a series of
amendments to the Federal reserve
act established a new system of
reserves for the member banks. For
instance. the so-calle6 country banks
are under this amendment, required
to keep a reserve of seven per cent
upon deposits payable on demand and
three per cent upon time deposits
The reserve city banks are now COM
PEELED to keep a reserve of ten per
cent upon demand deposits and three
per cent upon time deposits. The
central reserve city banks are re-
quired to keep a reserve of thirteen
per cent upon demand deposits, and
three per cent upon time deposits.
Moreover the banks are not allowed
now to carry any portion of the
legal reserves with the Federal re-
serve bank of their district.
Now the putting into effect of these
amendments at the Identical time
when the banks were so heavily
burdened with heir voluntary work
in receiving subscriptions and hand
ling payments made on account Of the
liberty loan. entailed a vast amount
OF additional work. 1t was necessary
to transfer all reserves to the Federal
Reserve banks Nevertheless. in spite
OF this accumulation of work the ma
tional banks OF the United States
completed their service in a most fl
cient manner; I'm fact, SO efficient was
the work of the banks that Gov Hard
ing. of the Federal Reserve Board.
deemed 1t a pleasure, as well as a
duty. to send letters of warm COM
mendation to the bankers who had
greatly facilitated the floating OF the
liberty loan. and Secretary McAdoo
was glad to wire messages OF con-
graduation to various committees
whose work enabled him to report. a
few days after the subscription was
closed. that it had been oversubScribed
by more than S1,C00, 10000.

ARMY BUILDING
 A|DEDBY CAMP PS
 FOR OFFICERS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1-

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Army building plans of the administration are to be supplemented at once by the establishment at many points through out the country of civilian training camps for officers.
 The great need of the war army to be raised will be properly equipped of ficers and to aid in meeting the de- mand, the war department had decid- ed to adopt the PlaItsburg idea on nationwide scale. Arrangement for the camps already are being made, and civilians desirous of fitting themselves for commissions in the officers re- serve corps may apply now to depart mental commanders. The number of camps will depend on the number of applications.
 A course of three months vigorous training will be given the prospective l4ficers who will be organized into companies or larger units and go through all the drills and exercises of enlisted men, supplemented by lecture courses as to the duties of officers. The qualities displayed by men undergoing this training will determine Y he h a' they are suited to army life and also the rank in the reserve corps which they are qualified to hold. Commis-
 
 of the training period to those accepted,
 hO will be assigned to units of the regular army, national guard, or the first contingent of troops to be raised under the draft plan.
 The scheme is designed particularly 10 meet the situation of civilians who have had no military experience and who are too old tu enter the second lieutenant grade of the reserve corps. but are otherwise qualified by educa- tion and capacity to become officers
 The department, it was announced today, has suspended the regulation limiting new enlistment in the regular army to men not more than 35 years of age. This was made possible by the Var declaration against Germany. Under existing law men not more than f3 years of age could be accepted but to conform to the administration's army bil the maximum age now has been set at forty years.
 The present authorized strength of the regulars soon will be reached at the present rate of enlistment. Includ- ing all cOmbatant and non- -combatant troops and unassigned recruits, this would mean a total of l. 900 enlisted men. Until the president so directs, the regiments cannot be brought up to NeiI SlI cliS LII OI duOlllOIld1 regiments be organized. It is apparent, that the administration is not inclined to take this step until congress has acted on the new army bill.
 An exception will be made in the case of regiments negro troops, how ever, some of which already are over the authorized peace strength. They will be filled from waiting lists to full war time strength. Recruiting for oth- CT regiments also will be prosecuted vigorously, it is indicated as the pro- cess of assembling, equipping and assigning recruits takes some time ana it is expected congress will have acted before any considerable number in ex- cess of authorized strength may be ready to join their regiments.
 The question of supplies for the in- creasing numbers of recruits both for the regulars and national guard is g

EDITH PARTIES APPROVE PLANS
 FUR WAR FUNDS
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Demo- crats and republicans of the house ways and means committee, at it's organization meeting today, united in approval Of the administrators wal financial program calling for a s5, O00,000, 900 bond issue of which s. 00G, 000,000 will be used as the basis of loans to the allies. Chairman Eitchin, with the authorization of the committee, will report the bill to- morrow and the passage in the house. not later than Friday night, he thinks is assured.
 Little delay is anticipated in the senate. Within two weet1 the measure may be on the statute books. Chairman Simmons of the senate finance committee has held frequent conferences with Secretary McAdoo, and prompt reporting of the measure to the senate is expected.
 In order to prevent any possible financial handicap to the military needs of the country through delay in raising the $1,750, ,0Q0,(00 proposed as the amount to be obtained by tax ation. the ways and means commit tee decided to emhody in the bond issue authorization, authority to the secretary Of the treasury to issue as needed $2,00O 100000 in one year treasury notes to anticipate the tax receipts which will result from the war revenue bill. The latter measure will be considered after the bond 'ssue bill has been disposed of. h. dieations are that considerable time riil be required to draft the revenue ill and that both houses will de- te it at length after it's introduce ion, which may delay it's passage.
 The total thus authorized should the committees program be ratified " congress, would be s700G,000 0Oh for the first year of the war, not all of which however, would necessarily he spent This is s250,000,000 more than the administra ton leaders have Teen counting on The difference is regarded as q liberal estimate for expenses not now anticipated but which may arise.
 All of the issues would carry an interest rate of 31a per cent.

LOS ANGELES, April 10.-Federal agents here, it became known tonight, have been Investigating for several weeks an alleged plot to ship to a Mex ican west coast port 25,000 automatic rifles and 4,5O0,000 rodnds of ammuni- tion. The money for the munitions, it was said, was to be paid the sellers through Los Angeles bank upon pre- sentation of evidence proving they had been delivered. The shipment, it was alleged, was for some revolutionary faction in Mexico.
 The munitions were to be packed in waterresisting packages and placed aboard a vessel which was to be scut- tled Intentionally at some point off the Pacific coast. A second vessel, with divers aboard, was to raise the goods and then deliver them to another vessel off the coast.
 United States navy vessels, it became lnoWn, searched for the alleged am- intuition carrying ship and was re- ported at one time to have followed the supposed quarry for a time but finally to have lost sight of the ship in fog Later it was reported that the amount of the shipment probably would re- quire three trips or three boats, but federal agents here announced the search had been abandoned

TNCSGN, April 11.-Cnarged with storing ammunition on a ranch and shipping it across the line to Colonel Reina, Villista commander at Altar Sonora. four men, Bartola, Jose and Ambrosio Miquerray and Dionicia Bel lestero, ranchers of the Stevens can- yon district in the Sirrita mountains 35 miles south of Tucson, are under bonds here pending trial. They were arrested by Sheriff Miles and deputies It is alleged that they have been sys- tematically supplying arms and ammu- milton to the Villistas in Sonora for months. The bond was fixed at S1,000 for each of the four men.
 United States Marshal Joe Dillon re- ceived word of the arrest of the four men yesterday and also stated that this makes list of ten who have been taken by the authorities within the past week in the effort to break up the practice of smuggling arms across the border. The government will do it's best to disrupt this practice, both because it is a violation of neutrality with regard to Mexico and because of the menace to this section potentially carried by the possession of arms and ammunition south of the line.
