MORE MONEY FOR ALLIES

Congress Most Probably Will be Ask
ed to Authorize Another Gigantic
Loan
Washington Dispatch.
Unless the unforeseen develops,
CONGRESS probably will be asked be-
fore adjournment Of the present ses-
sion to authorize another gigantic
loan to the Allies. The present au-
thorization of S3,OOO,OO0,000 will be
exhausted within from three to four
months, at the rate at which the gov
eminent is lending money to Entente
governments.
Indications are that the amount OF
the second authorization will be nc
less than the first, and may go as
high as $5,O0O,0OO,0Oo.
There is every reason to believe
that the administrations policy Of
financing the allied governments fol
purchases they make in this country
will be continued during the perioe
of the war, and that the vast sums
to be loaned in the future will be loaned
as in the past, at the same rate o.
interest the American government
will have to pay for the money ant
on the security of Entente govern
ment bonds to be deposited in thu
Treasury.
While no official announcement ha
been made Of what the government
intends to do toward continuing t.
finance the Allies when the presen
authorized loan of $3,000,000,000 i
exhausted and none is likely to b.
made until after the flotation of tn
next liberty loan sum during the fall
it is pointed out that nearly one hal
Of the $3,O00,000,000 already has beer
exhausted.
The amount of credits placed t,
foreign governments already is ST.,
303,OO0,000, or approximately "a pc
cent Of the total and this covers tn,
financing Of only two months ant
twenty days.

ON VARIOUS MATTERS
(By SNYDER).

CORRESPONDENCE of The Robesonian.
Red Springs, July 17-Fayettevllls
has always held a soft place in the
hearts of the people Of upper Robe
son, and they feel as much disap-
pointment at the loss Of the canton
ment at Fayetteville as if it was their
own loss. We hear rumors that we
can not relate as to why it was CIV
en- to Charlotte in the face Of the
promise to Fayetteville, but if there
be any truth in them, it will pop out
later.
In the old-tlme log school house
of our county. Of which We are not
ashamed, you could tell on approach
ing one at miles distance by the
noise made by. the schol-
ars "stdying OUT as it was
called. We think it was good prac-
tice as it enabled one to concentrate
the mind amidst much noise and con-
fusion.
Concerning the dilatoriness of
Congress in enacting necessary laws
on the food control business on which
the President lays so much stress, it
seems a pity that some way can not
be found to stop the mouths of those
blatant fools whose main business
seems to be to delay important tus-
mess by their much speakings.
Some commentators on the prophe-
cies of the Bible make out the Kais-
er to be the apocalyptic beast spok-
en- of in the Bible. Whatever he is,
or whatever will be his fate, he seems
to be pretty hard customer when
the combined world can't whip him
You can't whip him and you can't
scare him. He seems intrenched in
his devilment.
The difference between drillino the
troops now, and during the war OF
61-65 reminds the writer of an ole
rough looking captain who came II
with company on the drill ground
and in forming his company from
two ranks into one, gave the com
i mand "From two ranks into one
git!"-and they got all the same.
Daniel White Johnson of the Spring
Hill section was one Of the few great
men in embryo that I was acquainted
with. A minnie ball in the forehead
at the seven-days' fight around Rich
mond ended his career. He grad
uated at Chapel Hill and on visiting
the university a year afterwards he
was met a mile out of town and the
horses taken out of the carriages
and he was pulled into town by his
admirers. He studied law and moved
to Alabama. He entered as private
but soon rose to captaincy. The
colonel of his regiment invited the
Governor of Georgia to speak to them
on leaving for the front. For re-
ply the colonel stepped to the front
and called for private Johnson to
make the rejoinder, which he did in
| a mastery manner.
We hail the temperance of The
Citizen with joy and rejoicing. II
has been asleep for some time, but
i has awakened with the motto "Sur.

deserves.
We believe that if we were young
again We wouldn't rest until we saw
