 Mr Kahn discusses with his accus- toned clarity the liberty loan from an economic investment point of view. It is, he points out, patriotism plus 31a per cent, tax-exempt and with conversion privilege.
 q think the business mems slogan during the war;" said MT. Kahn, should be: No panicky saving and no excessive profits.'" Philosophy in nut shell! We should all economize while the war lasts, but the rule holds good, according to MT. Kahn, even in respect of things that it is well and praiseworthy to do
 'Let each one of us" he says, "feel himself personally responsible--let each one of us work as if our life depended on the result. And in very real sense, does not our national life and our individual life depend on the outcome of the war;" Could anyone read MT. Kahn's animating remarks and be stacker?

Otto Kahn on the
 War and Busimess

MTTO H. KAHN, financier and NJ man of leading in cultural circles, delivered an address recently before the Merchants association of New York entitled, "The War and Business" which was of more than ordinary interest. Published in pamphlet form as it is, it should have wide circulation. Like everything that MT. Kahn writes, it has heart as well as brains in it.
 MT. Kahn is of German origin. He was reared in London, but came to the United States several years ago and soon became an American citizen. He is thoroughgoing American and is as patriotic as he is outspoken and convincing. MT. Kahn's address be- fore the Merchants association is full of practical wisdom, but it is more. It is touched by rare grace of diction which compels attention and places it in class to itself. Here are few salient paragraphs:
 do not hesitate to state it as my solemn conviction that the more un- mistakably and whole-heartedly Am orleans of German origin throw them selves into the struggle which this country has entered in order to rescue Germany. no less than America and the rest of the world, from those sin ister forces that are, in President s Wilson's language, the enemy of all mankind, the better they protect and serve the repute of the old German name and the true advantage of the German people.

 I speak in bitter disappointment, for am thinking of the Germany of for mer days, the Germany which has contributed it's full share to the store of the worlds imperishable assets and which, in not a few fields of human endeavor and achievement, held the leading place among the na- tions of the earth
 But know that neither Germany nor this country nor the rest of the world can return to happiness and peace and fruitful labor until 1t shall have been made manifest, bitterly and unmstakably manifest. to the rulers who bear the hlood-guilt for

 German emissaries are still at work in Russia, just as they are at wor.1 in the United States in alliance with pacifists and traitors.
 But members of the Root commits sion who have studied Russia at first hand view the situation optimistical- ly. They seem to feel confident that the provisional commonwealth will in due time be succeeded by a full fledged republic A local theatre manager had two suits of clothes stolen from him. Such an experience couldn't happen to the aver age newspaper man. If only one suit of clothes were stolen from him, he would have to make his rounds in barrel. Senator Townsend says: "A host of vultures are Hooking to Washington to secure war contracts" And that sort of ''vulture" always demands the best hotel accommodations
 In the old days Chinese did most of their fighting by making a hideous racket. They seem to have discovered that machine guns accomplish better re- suits.

  Since the 'bone-dry law went into ef- feet there is reported to be great deal of talk among "moonshiners" of enlarg- ing their plants.
