said Uncle Harry. Next to the
winning of the war the most i'm
portant work this country can do is
TO so care for and train the soldiers
that when peace comes. the men
who have been wounded viii be as
little crippled as possible, and will
be fitted TO resume their duties in
everyday life. doing useful work that
will enable them to earn their living
and help supply the goods needed
by the world. SO the two big jobs
for the doctors Of America are 70
care for the sick and the wounded,
and fit them for citizen duties after
the war.
That's a tremendous program,
but the American doctors will carry
il through successfully. and when
peace comes, the history of the
achievements of the medical men of
the world and particularly the
American medical men, will be sec
ond in Importance only TO the his
tory Of the war itself

Argentina Gets
$5,000,000 at Low
Rate of Interest
Proceeds Used to Retire Ma
turing Issue-Canadian
Bonds Being Taken

An Argentine government loan OF
s., 900, 900, to run until October next,
was placed with New York bankers yes
terday. The proceeds of this loan will
be used TO retire a like amount OF the
Argentina's notes which have just
matured and which were part of an IS
sue of s15.OOO,OOO brought out here a
year ago by a syndicate headed by the
Guaranty Trust Company, Lee, Higgin-
son G. Co. and the National City Com
pany.
The remaining s1O,OOO,OOO natures in
equal amounts on April 1 and May l. It
was learned that these maturities will
probably be taken care OF through an
arrangement similar to the one just
completed. This took the form of dis
count loan, which will not be offered to
the public, but will be sold privately
The rate was not disclosed, but bankers
stated that il was Surprisingly low.
New York bankers are already recelv-
ing subscriptions to the new 9l5O,OOO,
600 Canadian loan, which is payable IN
dollars either in New York or Montreal.
The subscription books, however. Will
not be formally opened until March u.
The circular being sent out TO bond
dealers throughout the country states
that the proceeds of the loan Will pro-
vide funds to meet all Of Canada's re-
auirements until we'll into the summer

The number Of commercial failures
in February, as reported by "Dun's Re
view" was smaller than in any month
back to September last, while liabilities
were the lowest reported in any month
since November. Reduction in the coun-
try's business mortality Is. however,
customary at this season. Exclusive OF
banks and other fduciary suspensions,
defaults numbered 1865 and the in
debtedness was sl6.6l7, 1888, against
1.54O for S1S,2S3.12O in January, 1858
for s1S.744.165 year ago, 2,2lS for
s32. 4O4.63O in February, 1915, and l,oOo
in 1914. when the amount involved was
500. 354.193. Last months commercial
death rate. in fact. was the lowest IN
point of number since 1910. while n IS
necessary to 20 back to 1907 to find a
lighter indebtedness for the period.
Moreover. the numerical decrease from
January. 375. was the largest OF recent
vears. with the exception e 1915, when
there was a falling off OF $40 insolv-
encies.

Asks To Be Judged
By "Rule of Reason
international Harvester Co.
Replies to Government Brief

Washington, March !. In brief
filed in the Supreme Court of the United
States, replying to the governments
recent brief, the international Har-
vester Company asks that it be judged
according to the rule Of reason rather
than the rule Of size" and according to
the actual language of the Sherman
law.
Arguing for the application Of the
rule of reason the brief asks:
"ls it logical or just 10 urge the
court TO dismember a corporation that
possesses no unfair advantage whose
record has been helpful and not injuri-
Gus TO the public, whose treatment OF
competitors by the finding of the lower
court has been honorable, clear and
fair for fear that some other combl-
nation that has actually restrained
trade, or is attempting to do so, may
escape punishment
The brief contends that the case
against the harvester company rests en-
tirely upon its alleged violation, not or
what Congress put into the law, but or
what government counsel now asserts
Congress had in mind when ~ enacted
the law.
This course, II "a declared, upsets the
rule that the purpose and prohibitions
Of statute must be ascertained from
its language.
The brief points out that the Federal
Trade Commissions recent report, urg-
ing amendment of the Sherman law TO
lcgalize combinations in the export
trade. recognizes the necessity which
prompted the organization OF the Inter.
national for the rapid development Of
foreign trade.
It is explicitly denied that the Inter
national has the power TO drive out
competitors or raise prices. The Inter
national, the brief asserts. now has less
than 80 per cent of the harvesting ma
chinery trade and less than % per cent
Of the trade in all lines of agricultural
implements that il manufactures.
The brief concludes that the crucial
issue is not as TO the purpose of the
company's organization in 1902, but
whether, when the suit was brought. IN
1912. H. was unduly restraining trade
or threatening TO do so.

Bankers Will
Handle u. S. Loan
Without Charge
Patriotism of Financial
Community Aroused by
German Intrigues

Wall Street fairly oozed with patrl-
otto sentiment yesterday. The reve-
lations regarding Germsny's intrigues
in Mexico agitated the district greatly,
and while this was not reflected in the
security markets, il furnished the cur
rent topic Of discussion in brokerage
houses and banks, where opinion was
unanimous that President Wilson
should have the whole-hearted backing
Of the entire financial district in what
ever step he sought fit to take.
That the Street stands ready to turn
its banking machinery over to the use
Of the government in the fotation OF
the impending loan gratuitously be-
came known when it was learned yes
terday that the Union Trust Company
will receive subscriptions 70 the loan
without charge for its services. Other
important financial institutions have
fallen in line in this regard. whether
the Treasury Department officials VIII
accept the offer is not known. 1t was
reported yesterday that the local Fed
eral Reserve Bank might take charge
of the bulk OF the work Of handling
the applications for the loan.
