NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-Although the
war bill which the United States has
contracted during the first six
months Is stupendous, the banking
world is not staggering under it's
weight, Francis H. Sisson, vice pres

Herbert Hoover has the people volun-

with the kaiser over the question of
Indemnity to be paid German ship

The kaiser sought TO restore Ger

Presumably full value is meant in
the bill mentioned above, since it
