 U. $. AS RESERVE BANK AGENT

proposed arrangement will link the financial departments of the United States and France in an official cap .acity for the first time
 Todays action is viewed as another step in the comprehensive program adopted by the board of strengthening the financial position of the United States whatever the future may bring and particularly with a view to af fording international machinery for extending American commerce after the war. The benefits which it is eX- pected will accrue through the ap- pointment Of the Bank of France as correspondent will come principally after peace shall have been establish ed, it will go far toward making more certain the maintenance of the dCilar as the standard of international eN- change.

Plots Galore Known

The full extent of the evidence of Germany's plotting against the Unit ed States, gathered by the American secret service, may beco known only according to the course of the future relations between the two countries. It is known that much evi- dence of the operations of the Ger man embassy and persons who were responsible to it never had been per mitted to cone out. because officials preferred to guard against iriiaming the public mind in the tense situation with Germany. The public azement which a full exposition of the evi- dence in the hands of the government would cause cannot be over-estimat- ad

Knew Germans PIottinu

It has been an open secret that de- partment of justice agents in their investigations of plots to violate Am erican neutrality by setting on foot armed expeditions in Mexico more than once uncovered what appeared to be trails of the German secret ser vice. A few days ago Fred Kaiser, suspected of being German agent, was arrested at Nogales on charges brought under the neutrality statutes department of justice agents declar- ing he had attempted to obtain milf tary information on the American side of the border. and had cultivated the society of American army offic- CTS with an apparent intention of pro- voting these efforts.
 Last July, when ". II. Schmeibz, who claimed to be former German
 rym officer, escaped into Mexico at Togales after arrest on si liar charg- as, the deputy marshal wh otried to follow him was stopped by Mexican authorities.

THANKSGIVING

This year we cannot have Jolly
Thanksgiving. We shall sit down at
a more scantily furnished table, and
mt a table, too. from which we shall
miss one or two young faces-sons
or nephews who are perhaps at a
training camp, perhaps in France.
Yet to few OF us will Thanksgiv-
ing seem meaningless. day on
which for once we have nothing to
be thankful for. We know that that
Is not true. We are thankful that
by a. much as our Thanksgiving
feast is diminished OF cheer OF our
own and Allies soldiers is increased.
We are thankful for the fat acres
and the rich mines and the broad
forests of DUR land. which have en-
abled as to pour into the distressed
countries of our friends an unpre-
cedented flood OF money and sup
plies. We are very glad that God
has given US SO much to give to the
brave long line OF men who have put
their bodies between us and the ma
MAC nation that threatens the
world.
But there is something much
greater than our ability to be gen.
erous for which we are thankful. It
Is the spirit Of the nation. 1t is in
famed by no jingoism; 1t talks no
htghfalutin talk; II does not boast;
1t shows no unwholsome excitement
After three years Of earnest thought
II has recognized a duty and reached
a decision. Now II Is acting as any
strong. honest man will act when
any duty. no matter how hard. con-
fronts him. Uncle Sam has an air
OF great resolution. a dignity OF bear
ing. a self possessed silence, a GER
tain sternness OF visage. that make
him seem every inch a man.
We are thankful, too. for our
sons. The moral meanings OF the
war are very clear in their youthful
hearts. We all know the young re-
cruit of many a previous war--a
happy .yonnsster CAUGHT BY the rat
tie pf the drums. by the glitter OF
gold lace. by the lure OF stirring ro-
nance. The recruits OF 1917 are not
OF his kind. they 20 Willingly and
snderstandingiy. because they know
that otherwise the world will no
longer be a place In which free men
can live. They have the patriotism,
not OF boys. but OF men.
These things uplift our hearts,
