England s Plan
Worth Adopting

Your President in his great speech
emphasized the soundness of the sys-
tenn. 1t is a plan worth adopting
if it is true that victory will be to
the nation which last becomes bank
rupt. 1t will certainly have a vital
bearing in the economic war to fol-
low this war:
The period from August Ii to last
week shows that while we have spent
s21 500, 1000, 900, we have 100000
900 more in the national Treasury
than when we began. with more, of
course, rapidly flowing in daily
Thus. we have raised S21, $50 ,00O,-
900. and Of this, SEATS, 100000 has
been raised by revenue and S16,145,.
100000 has been raised by loan.

Paying for
War Out of
The Pocket

months ago with the astounding sue
cess of the great war loan, to which
the people subscribed $4,000, 100000
of new money, without counting the
conversion of outstanding stocks.
Our people actually showed them
selves willing and able to subscribe
more for per cent interest in 1917
than for 6 per cent interest in 1916.
The new government, against the
advice of some of its leading finan-
cial advisers, including the Bank of
England, lowered the rate Of inter
est it offered and achieved a success
which surprised itself. Now the
prophets dare not croak. The coun-
try has learned that it does not
know the limits of its own money
raising powers.
In spite of $5,OOO,OOO,OOO sub
scribed in February, people are al
ready beginning to subscribe more
now. 1t is our especial pride that
we have not, like Germany, relied
alone upon borrowing money. While
Germany is borrowing even to pay
the interest on her five war loans, we
have taxed ourselves to such an eX-
tent that we raise by revenue about
one-third as much as we raise by
borrowing, and the amount is ever
increasing.
In the financial year TO March 81,
1916, we obtained 1856, 100000 by
revenue and S5,82O,OOO,0OO by loans,
and in the year to March 81, 1917,
we obtained S2,6S5, 100000 by reve-
nue. and S8,125, 100000 by loans.
These figures are what fnancicrs
call met; they are the amounts
which have been borrowed, after de-
Quoting the amounts of the short
loans we have repaid, for we go on
lepaying all the time. This system
Of trying to pay as much as possible
as we go-by bearing the burden of
a % per cent income tax, for in
stance-we believe TO be good.

and Canada in our war finance and
war commerce has been incalculabe.
The fact that you have been able TO
show a favorable trade balance Of
exports over imports of nearly &c.
600. 000.0 900 is Of advantage to the
Allies on this side as well as TO your
selves. II is true that it has in
volved payment TO you in Allied gold
of about Sl,OOO,OOO,OOO - another
achievement Of war finance Of which
we are proud-but, on the other
hand. you have aided us by repur-
chasing from US more than $4,000
100000 of your securities which m
peace time we would have bought
from you, and you have lent the Al
lies more than $2,300,000.000.
Now that you are an ally, you are
taking steps to give much greater
assistance, but we here are not re-
laxing our efforts one little bit on
that account. To that which we
have already done in war finance
we are going to add much more.
Since your decision we have begun
again. as | have said, to raise more
money by Treasury bills, at a rate
so far of about 100000 week,
and to put exchequer bonds on sale
again.
Although the system by which we
pledge securities to you to regulate
the rate of exchange between the
two countries may, under the ar
Iangements you are making, be
carried out of existence, yet the
newspapers here contain new lists
of such securities occupying COL
umns, which our Treasury is taking
up for your acceptance.
John Bulls deep purse is still
practically untouched, and / venture

British loan will be as successful as
the last.

Davenport Backs Hoover Plan
For Food Cooperation Of Allies
British Controller Says Commodities Needed from America

the baron. had long since done away
with certain conditions. which were so
prominent in England and others Of
the Allied countries during the early
months Of the war.
Only Staples Needed
"The commodities needed by the Al
lies from America" he continued,
could be reduced to few central sta
plcs. our people have been trained

are now mixing from 90 to 25 per cent
Of maize meal. rice and other cereals
with flour. Neither our people nor the
peoples on the Continent have equlp-
mcnt for making maize bread, nor do
they understand its great value. inc
American people have long since rec
ogniZed the superior value OF maize rs

get our people trained to It, and IN the
meantime we have got to have bread.
Therefore. from now on until the har-
vest next August, at least, we must
have wheat, and we can use some
maize.
ave must import some meat for our
soldiers at the front and minor
amount for our civilian populations.
Europe has depended for many years
upon America for pork products, and
the consumption Of bacon has gone up
immensely. due to our large armies in
the field.
Awake TO Value of Beans
Curious as it may seem to Ameri-
cans. our people have only lately begun
to generally recognize the superior
value of beans for human food. There
is scarcely a ton of beans to be bought
in England to-day, and yet the food
value of beans is greater than that of
any other cereal which we can import.
From all this you will see that we can
reduce the commodities which we shall
want for human food down to a few
simple staples. We want wheat. we
want some maize. We want moderate
amount of meat, and we want pork
products. Beyond this, of course, We
must have fodder for our animals and
our army horses, for which we shall
need more maize and oats.
at is not the usual thing for one
nation to comment upon appointments
of another to official positions. but 10

Mr. Hoover to advise on food matters.
lie is the longest established food con-

Allied problem, for he has had to feed

with less material at his disposal than

more experience at it than any other,
and he has carried the problem through
with the esteem of the whole of Eu-

London, April 81 president vii
sons address 10 the American people
forms the keystone Of the arch OF
Allied cooperation" said Baron Devon
port. Britain's Food Controller, to-day.
The baron discussed the plans pro-
posed for better cooperation among the
Allies as to control of foodstuffs by
Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the
American Commission for Relief in
Belgium and recently appointed head
Of the American Food Board.
THE plan proposed by Mr.. Hoover to
the War Cabinet" said Baron Devon
port, "has my strongest backing, and,
understand, also the backing Of rep
resentatives of our allies. 1t was that
small inter-Allied committee should
be appointed, representing five or SIX OF
those principally interested in the over
seas movement of food supplies; that
is, this committee should further de-
velop the existing inter-Allied organs
in Europe for the combined purchase
and combined handling Of all foodstufs
for the Allies, whether from America
or elsewhere. In other words, all
wheat and any other commodities
bought in the United States or else
where are to be bought through the
head of a bureau subject to this gen
eral committee. and thus the relative
bidding by different allies and the con-
sequent artificial forcing up of Ameri-
can prices would be avoided.
This competitive buying among the
Allies and the different departments in
the Allied governments has been to a
considerable degree responsible for the
high prices which American consumers
to-day have to pay for their foodstuffs.
Hopes to Better Conditions
another important function CT the
board would be to determine the allo-
cation of food supplies among the diff
ferent Allies and formulate their re-
quiremcnts for a considerable period
ahead. 1t is not proposed that this
board shall have any functions insid
the territory of any of the Allies, but
it is to be a bridge representing food
control of each Allied country for CO.
operative purposes. As America is
wholly an exporter Of food our hopes
of the American people are that they
may place at the disposition of the
inter-Alled board as large quantities
of our necessary staples as possible,
and it is our hope by cooperation that
we shall be able to stem the rising tide
in the cost of living in America as well
as Europe, and thus ameliorate the
condition of the civil population in all
the Allied countries"
Baron Devonport said the require
ments of the Allied countries from
America should be limited to the low
est possible minimum on which public

Guard Chaplain
AssaiIs PacifiSts
and Volunteer Plan
Memorial Service Marked by
Demand for Vigorous
Prosecution of War

The muffIed drums Of the Old Guard
band beat a rolling requiem yesterday
for the ten active and three honorary
members of the Guard who have been
claimed by death in the last year. Me-
mortal services were held at st.
Thomas's Church, Fifth Avenue and
Fifty-third Street, in connection with
the celebration Of the organizations
ninety-frst anniversary.
Traffic was held up and buses di-
verted through side streets while the
Old Guard marched under their great
bearskin shakos up the avenue from
their armory, in Fifty-hrst Street They
marched slowly, for the solemn metre
Of Onward. Christian Soldiers" meas
ured their steps.
In his memorial address Chaplain
James B. WATSON launched an attack
on pacifsm and made plea for uni
versal service.
ave sorrow that our departed com
rades have left us he said, but IN
our sorrow we pledge that we shall
worthily acquit ourselves in facing the
national crisis before US. The duty
before US is TO act, to realize, as our
President tells US, that the whole ma
ton must wage this war. That means
the whole nation must conserve and
mobilize all its resources and products,
most Of all, industrial and agricultural.
"The administration of pacifist pills
for pale people, warranted to make
them still more pale, is their only rem
edy in this and every other great ma
tional crisis. They declare that al
ways and everywhere war is inherently
wicked Our answer to that is fiat
denial: the moral character of war de-
ponds on circumstances. ! stand he,e
to-day to say to you that the war upon
which we have just embarked is a
righteous war, involving great issues
of morality and justice, affecting the
welfare not only of our own nation, but
of all the civilized world.

All Finance Except
of War at Standstill

The man whose individual bust
ness is finance has made many sac
riiices. All finance except the
finance of war has been brought TO
a standstill. No financial project
may be carried out unless the Treas
ury gives its consent. No new COM
pany may be formed, and no exist
ing one may issue new capital.
The idea, of course, is to keep
wealth within the country and to con-
centrate it on the war. There can be
no speculation or the Stock Ex-
change in the sense which prevailed
before the war, when the "bulls"
could buy what they did not intend
to pay for and the bears" could sell
what they had not got. When the
Stock Exchange was reopened, after
being closed during the earlier part
of the war, a rule was made that all
transactions must be made with the
securities down, and this salutary
rule still prevails.
People are now already lending
again, after the effort of the great
war loan, on Treasury bills and ex-
chequer bonds. Treasury bills cor
respond TO the Treasury certificates
which your government is about to
issue, but they arc not all repayable
after a year; some are repayable
after shorter periods, such as three
and six months. Exchequer bonds
can be obtained daily from the gov
eminent through banks to any
amount, and few of them are sal
able again at postoffices in sos
amounts. All this time thrifty peo-
pie have been able to buy through
postofiices and various associations
war savings certificates, investing
about 81 or less at time.

A red nose that dribbles with

breath tainted with the odor of
catarrh is an offense against all
health and decency. A stomach
filled with droppings from dis
eased nasal cavaties may cause un-
told misery, and ruins the COM
plexion. The bowels clogged with
strings of ropy mucus indicates
a body literally reeking with ca
tarrh, causing pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions.
The blood, swarming with mil
lions of catarrh germs, entails up
on the kidneys a labor that may
break them down; the lungs and
bronchial tubes, scourged with the

Jealousy Is
ThOt Cause
of Tragedy

SEATTLE, Oct. 25.-Sisters of
the dead woman today believed
that jealousy prompted the muir
der Of Mrs. Bertha Volkmar, 81,
and the suicide of Charles Butch
er, of La Touche, Alsaka. The
bodies were found in Butcher s
room at the home of his victim s
three sisters, 2S15 Yesler way.
Mrs. Volkman's husband is a
government carpenter foreman at
Anchorage, Alahka. She was a
sister Of Pete Standridge, men,
Der of the Los Angeles baseball
team.
A note scrubbed on the back
Of an envelope addressed by type
writer, to M. p. Ward, manager
OF the Grays Harbor Shipbuild-
ing Co. at Aberdeen, was found
in Butchers pocket. 1t read:
"Cremate my body. You will
find SIS cash and Liberty bonds
for $500. Send to my sister,
Mrs. T. l.. Gates, Phillipsburg,
Kas."
Butcher had evidently bought
the bonds just prior to the dou-
BILE tragedy when he fired three
shots into Mrs. Volkmar's body
and one into his own.

page, l can't see why urging
would be necessary. Tacoma has
$4,000 adults and about 2S,50C
population under 81 years of age
If each of these adults would just
take one $50 bond and one for
their own child-or IL each in
habitant would spare the small
sum of IS per month, they would
have the grandest Liberty rally
ever, and the aggregated amount
would reach the $4,625,00O mark.
And there's none who can't afford
16 2-3 cents per day.
During the Red Cross drive we
were asked to GIVE, and we did
freely-now we are being only
asked to loan and are paid to do
it, and still some don't seem to
look at 1t that way.
Umpire everyone who reads
this and who has not bought a Lib
erty bond to get their thinking
capacity working and buy bond.
We are here now, due to the
fact that our forefathers gave up
ALL, and there wasn't any Liberty
bonds for sale at that time, either.
They saved your country, your
home, your family-how? BY
giving their blood, their lives
and their names are still in
glory. Are you going to refuse,
then, to loan $50, a sum that
yearly is wasted and nothing re-
turned by fits output?
