WILL BOLSTER
BOND MARKET
Treasury Officials Concern
ed Over Shrinkage In
Gilt Edge Securities
nv Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. is. - Treasury
officials, concerned over the down
ward tendency OF the bond market
as an outgrowth of the Liberty Loan,
have determined to check the shrink
age in gilt edged bond values so
far as consistent with sound financ-
ing.
The comptroller of the currency
said last night he had instructed all
national bank examiners not to re-
quire national banks holding high
grade bonds of unquestioned intrinsic
value 10 charge them down to pres
emit abnormal figures, but to exercise
''an intelligent and conservative dis
cretion".
This action is intended to prevent
undue Tightening of the money mar
ket with the further decline OF bonds,
q process which IL continued might
lead TO heavy losses in such securf-
ties. For months virtually all securi-
ties have been steadily diminishing
In quota values.
Liberty bond financing has re-
suited in crowding the bargain
counters with securities. Banks
lending money upon them as collater-
al have been consistently compelled
to reduce the amounts which they
could lend. The comptroller's action,
II is thought. win GO far toward
checking this tendency.

Coal SHORTAGE
NOT Due TO THE
NINE lABORERS
Output Expected to Sur
pass That Of 1916,
Banner Year

The coal shortage is not due to
the failure of the soft coal mines to
produce more coal than in the past,
according to information received by
Postmaster George w. Wilkinson OF
this city from the United States
geological survey department of the
interior.
1t is pointed ou4 that for the
country on Sept. /. the output was a
month ahead OF last year and when
figures have been computed il is ex-
pected to finish the year with an in
crease OF 10 per cent over 1916, the
banner year and Of rs per cent over
1915.
This information has been made
public through Director George Otis
Smith, director of the geological
survey because so much has been
said about the shortage of bitumin-
Gus coal and that the general public
does not realize the important gains
in output made by operators under
trying conditions last summer, over
all previous records.
He says that the tremendous in
crease in manufacturing and trans
portation activity this year has Gre
ated a demand for soft coal in ex-
cess Of any iii the past, an increase
IA uShAdhu NAAdL ID ulAACull 10 measure
in terms OF tons but that is certain
ly more than the 10 per cent by
which production has Increased. To
meet this demand the mines have
been producing soft coal at a rate
never before equaled. In the second
week of July, 1917, the average daily
production was more than 1900, 900
tons, the highest yet attained. In
the first eight months of 1917 the
output of soft coal was 363 500, 900
tons. or 10000 tons more than in
the first eight months in 1916. In the
same period shipments OF anthracite
increased Is per cent over those of
1915.

UNITED STATES
TO BE ALEADER
IN DEMOCRACY
Judge Cole Says Liberty

Rule OF People
MASSES BECOMES
OWN CREDITORS
Urges People to Unite In
to Active Working Units
In Bond Sale

The result of the present war will
be to make the United States and
the whole world democratic, and
this country the leader in true de-
mocrocy according to Judge "A. T..
Cole of the third judicial district, who
is watching with interest the I'm
ancing Of the war and through re-
cent, addresses in the southwestern
part of the state urged the people to
respond to the sale of Liberty
Loan Bonds.
One Active Working Body.
Under the recent legislation by
and through congress-" sale Judge
Cole this morning. "the people have
said that when great emergencies
like the present one arise, they will,
through the government they have
established, put their whole power,
both physical and financial. into CO.
operation and united activity by
merging what in normal times may
be individual rights into collective
action under the captaincy of select
ed public officials, in order that the
whole strength of our people. both
moral and material may be success
fully articulated into one active
working whole.
Peoples Credit System.
"In pursuance of this purpose and
policy, congress-, obedient to the
loyal devotion to humanity of the
whole people of this country, has
provided for the financing of the
titanic world wide struggle Of democ-
racy, against the last entrenchment
of autocracy, through the medium OF
q peoples credit systematic liberty
bonds. Through this medium the
masses of the people became their
own creditors to the governmental
debts, something that squarely and
fully accords with the most adj
vanced ideas of progressive govern
ment, and at the same time provides
against speculative financing and
the possibility Of deprecated cur
rency.
In Line With Democracy.
"The many new acts of congress
for control OF the country and Its
resources for the conservation Of
the wealth and resources of the
country, both moral and material, is
one of the greatest and most sue
cessfIll advances in the direction of
true democracy and a peoples gov
eminent in fact, that they have
ever known, and after the present
war shall have been brought to
successful ending in favor Of a
worldwide democracy, the United
States and the whole world may be
said to have been in fact born
again"

MYSTERIOUS TN LUENCES
ARE DELAYING VICTORY
French Editor Writes Of Way In
Which German Money Has Been
Used Among Allies.
NV Associated Press. )

Paris, Oct. 16.-Leon Daudet, editor
of faction Franchise, who has taken
a prominent part in the exposure Of
German intrigue in France, writes
under the heading:
Il am doing my duty in the plot
against France, that everyone has
noticed since the war began that
there was something rotten some-
where which delayed the victory Of
the allies. He continues:
This something was German
money employed within the allied
countries. There was the Bolo Pas
ha fund for corruption Of the press
the Won Buelow fund Cor diplomatic
intrigues and the Hohenlohe fund for
promoting crimes and Eedition. The
last named fund was by far the most
important. 1t was employed TO pro-
mote the plot, carefully prepared for
months, which broke out in both the
army zone and the rear formations
in May and June Of this year. This
plot nearly attained the results hop
ed for by the German government"
