association could be assessed to an
amount not to exceed $50 apiece, or
an amount equivalent to the stock
they hold in the bank.
Again, in any ordinary case this
would abundantly cover any pos
sible losses, it is thought, but should
the case arise in which it would not,
then money could be drawn from the
general capital stock Of the bank.
Thus the individual borrower is
first responsible for his loan to the
extent OF the securities he has given,
then the capital stock he and his as
soojates in the local association have
paid in is called upon; then the mem.
bers of the local association would
be called upon under the double liza
bility banking rule and assessed an
amount equal to the amount OF cap
ital stock they own; then in extreme
emergencies the banks capital stock
itself could be drawn upon, and after
that. il still more extreme case
could arise, the eleven other farm
loan banks would be called upon to
help.
1t is assumed, OF course, that any
failure to make good on a loan will
very readily be taken care of in the
local association in which it occurs,
and without inAicting any hardship
upon the other borrowers in the as
sociation. The other safeguards are
merely provided as possible channel
or method Of procedure in any con-
ceivable condition that might arise.

Make Plea for Aid Of War
Sufferers from Lithuania

To appeal for aid for Lithuanian

citizenship made it possible for him
to obtain passports permitting his re-
turn.
While in his native vicinity about

starving, tattered refugees, most of
them women and children, a distance
OF 100 miles on foot, to seek food
and shelter in the larger cities.

FARMERS ANXIOUS
TO USE LOAN BANK
Half a Thousand Already Have
Made Inquiries for Iniorma-
ton on Banks Methods.
PARRISH EXPLAINS PLAN

Half a thousand farmers are right
this minute anxious to borrow from
the Omaha Federal Farm Loan bank.
This was indicated by the inquiries
that are daily being sent by farmers
to Omaha hen who. they believe, are
in a position to supply the necessary
information in regard TO obtaining
loans.
Prof. c. w. Pugsley OF the Univer-
sity OF Nebraska has compiled list
OF over 800 names and addresses Of
farmers throughout the district who
have written him. He has mailed a
copy of the list to Manager Parrish
Of the bureau Of publicity, who will
cooperate in disseminating infornla-
ton in regard to the workiri: of the
bank. Prof. Pugsley himself has
mailed out bulletins to these people,
but thought the bureau of publicity
might wan. to use the mailing list to
send out additional information. Be-
sides this list, Mr.. Parrish has him
self received some 200 letters directly
from farmers who want the bureau Of
publicity to inform them as to some
details of the system under which
the new bank will operate.
The questions relate largely to the
subject OF how to organize the neces-
sary farm loan associations; how to
get the loans; and to what extent each
borrower makes himself responsible
for the loan of the other borrower.
Form Local Clubs.
The organization of local farm loan
associations is necessary, of course,
before loans may be obtained. If twen-
ty men organize an association, then,
to borrow $1,000 apiece, they are re-
quired before loans are made to them,
to buy capital stock in the bank equal
to S per cent Of the loans they seek.
Thus in the case above mentioned,
each of the twenty men would be re-
quired to buy shares in the bank to the
amount OF $50. This would add 81 900
to the capital stock of the bank from
this one local association.
Loans are then made, up to 50 per
cent OF the value of the property, as
appraised by the local association
members themselves, and by two other
systems of appraisement, which thus
form a check and cross check upon
the appraisement
In case one of the twenty men
should fail, and it should be necessary
to foreclose his mortgage, the securi-
ties would be first exhausted to meet
the loan. Next the 81 100 capital paid
in by the association of twenty men
would be drawn upon. In the case
mentioned above this would far more
than meet the obligation. p.

GUARD SYSTEM
BRANDED VICIOUS
General Wood Declares 1t Is
Indefensible in Testimony
Before Committee.
GIVEN FAIR TREATMENT

Washington, Jan. 3l.-Major Gen.
eral Leonard Wood, commander OF
the Eastern department, questioned
by Senator Blair Lee today on the
mobilization OF the National Guard
for border service before the senate
subcommittee on universal military
service, reasserted his opinion that
the National Guard system was a
vicious and indefensible military sys-
tenn" but admitted he included in the
word System" much OF the War de-
partment's share in the mobilization.
The government arsenaps method
of equipping state troops had COM
pletely broken down within ten days
after the call was made, General
Wood said. This was not the main
fault, he declared, as even had sup
plies been ready the men would have
been unframed. The officer could
see no hope that an effective force
ever could be built up except under
exclusive federal control, divorced
wholly from the state governments,
"The officers and men of the Ma
tional Guard are entitled to the high
est credit" General Wood said. 1--WE
are attacking a vicious and indefensi-
bic system. / am equally strong
against the volunteer system"
General Wood said he had enter
tanned the same opinion when chief
of-staff and he believed Major Gen
erals Wotherspoon and Scott, his
successors, took the same view.
Then the last three chiefs-of-staff
have been called upon to administer
system which they looked upon as
vicious and indefensible? asked SEN
ator Lee. "You think it possible
they could administer a system they
so regarded in an effective and
friendly manneri"
Il think il you had been at the mo-
bilization camps you would have
thought it was so administered"
General Wood replied. The officer
insisted that the regular army Off
GERS had given the National Guard
system the fairest treatment that
could be desired. Explaining the
feeling OF guardsmen coming home
from the border, he said.
"They are coming home sadder, but
wiser. They have learned the folly
OF the system OF which they were VIC
tins. They had been drugged by
praise. Now they are not going to
see the country leaning on a broken
