DR.. Powell described tho fate that
befell the town OF Chauny. In tho Aisne
Department OF France. The little city,
he said. was OF 10000 inhabitants, ana
almost from the time of It's founding,
in 1864, had been the center Of Elas,
manufacture. 1t came into the hands
OF tho Teutons in the course OF their
invasion. but last June or July they

the misery they already had caused"
he said. First they dismantled tho
glass factories, then they herded all
tho young women and young men into

men for service OF one sort OF an
other behind the lines.
Then ,hey lined up the young wo-
men, according TO rank In beauty. The
highest official chose the faircst as his
servant. the next highest officers made
their selection and finally the common
soldiers took their pick. At the time
arrived in Chnuny only 900 OF the
orig inol inhabitants were left. ana
these were old men and women"

Mobilizing Our Money Power

# HERE is one element of war which has
not been successfully mobilized. That
is the money power of the country. True,
the first Liberty loan was oversubscribed.
The second is being subscribed for with fine
spirit and the third may be consummated
with the same spirit, but the fact remains
that the vast financial strength OF the Ameri-
can people has not been concentrated for the
prosecution OF the war.
For this reason the appeal Of the President
to the State banks and trust companies which
may yet be outside the Federal reserve sys-
tenn, to join that system, is OF the most
important announcements OF the government
since the war began. And ii it is not favor
ably responded TO by these Institutions it will
be the first war plea of the President upon
which any body Of American business men
have turned their backs. Happily the reserve

established itself in the economic life Of the
