date, and possibly the amount, being a
mere popular assumption, although this
additional sum is authorized for the year
and remains to be issued. Questions re-
latng to the distribution of the next loan
were discussed at a conference in New
York last week of the governors of six
Federal Reserve banks. Canada has
asked for a large loan, the details hav-
ing been discussed between Secretary
McAdoo and Sir Thomas White, the
Canadian Minister of Finance. So heavy
have been her imports from US that a
trade balance of $236,S29, 900 has to be
met by currency.
Another Reaction Against
Conscription
Plans to reopen the conscription ques-
tion are the very newest indulgences of
the Western Congressman who are re-
sponsible for the present status of the
food and taxation measures. This
scheme is expected to take the form of
an amendment to the aviation appropri-
alton bill which carries a provision au-
thorizing the President to draft men into
the aviation service. Senators La Fol-
lette and Gronna thus promised to block
the quick passage in the Senate of the
aviation BILL which so smoothly negoti-
ated a passage through the House. The
attempt to create reaction against con-
scription at this late date was expected
at least to delay the passage of war bills.
Attacks upon the administrative boards
are the fashion, especially upon the men,
hers Of the Advisory Commission of the
Council of National Defence. This is the
prevailing style of recriminations: Sem
ator Kenyon criticised the giving of a
shoe contract to a member of the board,
John F. McE!wain, and Senator Town
send retorted that "a horde of vultures
have swooped down upon Washington

pointed, have become scandalmongers.

Then There Is the Ship
Without a Rudder

The Goethals-Denman ship is still
without a rudder, and the mutny on
board hampers Goethals. The failure to
get decision and to adopt a policy and
to set out to sea with the ships is laid
by some observers to the fact that there
is no referee"
General Goethals was given full au-
thority to proceed to spend the $780,
000,000 appropriation for ships, and the
announcement was made that the Den
nan faction had subsidized. Contracts for
34S wooden ships had been let, with a
capacity of 1,2lS,000 tons, at a cost of
s174,000,000. Additional contracts are
being negotiated for 100 wooden ships.
Contracts have been let for seventy-seven
steel ships, with capacity of $4,000
tons, at a cost of S101 100000 The total
of 425 ships, with an aggregate tonnage
Of 100000, has been ordered, at a cost
of s275,000,000, besides the 100 wooden
ships under negotiation.
But these accomplished facts did not
prevent a fresh outbreak last week from
the Denman faction, which insists that
General Goethals is mistakenly failing
to utilize the wooden ship possibilities"
and resources of the nation. From out
of the news this question shapes itself:
Which must go, Goethals or Denman?

SPROUTING OATS.
Beware OF Sulphur BIosohed and CLIP
ped Grain.

Beware OF Sulphur BIoaohed and CLIP
ped Grain.
The greatest difficulty encountered in
sprouting oats Is due to their being
treated with sulphur to bleach them.
Oats so treated will not sprout. The
custom is one Of those fallacies like
coating rice with glucose and bleaching
-four. 1t was first practiced with the
Idea of creating a more attractive arti-
Gle. Then the public was educated to
Judge all other grades by this false
standard until the unbleached goods
came to be regarded as inferior.
Demand of your dealer that he fur
uish you with oats guaranteed to be
free of the sulphur treatment or any
other method affecting their germina-
ton. Clipped oats are difficult to
sprout. What you want are natural
oats In the strict sense Of the term.
II you obtain natural oats the only
serious difficulty you have to guard
against is mildew. II the trays and
other receptacles In which the oats are
handled are washed with a 10 per cent
solution Of formalin at regular inter
walls you will not be bothered. Sprout-
Ing oats is simply matter Of keeping
them moist (not saturated) and warm.

snow had played their part in fate's

Charlie could not tell-but she was
henceforth determined to show him to
what heights she could aspire. "Play-
writing would be her career, and

Between hope and despair the man
worked over other imaginary love af-
fairs, while Charles wilfull, haunting
face laughed at him from the pages, so
completely she dominated him. And
after the play had been produced would
he dare to ask the one question which
trembled constantly upon his lips when
she was near? For the play was so
palpably not her own, enlarged, built
upon In every way to be made "possi-
ble," Charities poor little idea had been
lost In the process. This play was her
world, or so he thought. Would she
ever forgive him? And at last came
the eventful night Of its production.
Seated by the side Of the man who
was responsible for her triumph, Char

breathless interest and found it no tri-
umph at all. This was not her play,
these people portraying their parts not

The Envelope

MARIO WRITER
By AGNES G. BROGAN

Miss Charlotte Blake took one glance
at the long yellow envelope thrice re-
turned, then violently tossed 1t across
the room. "Charlie" Blake she had
been called at college, and the mascu-
line name had chung, seeming to ex-
press better the girls daring, adventur-
Gus spirit.
Now that college was a thing of the
past an occasional classmate, meeting
Miss Blake upon the street, would con-
tinue to greet her as Charlie" So
she had signed the familiar name to
that fatal manuscript. Selfish ami

readers in general; "they won't even
take time to read the thing through"
Rescuing the discarded envelope, she
hastily drew forth it's contents. Just
as / thought" she murmured disgust
edly-''the marker has not been dis

1t was good story; Charlie was sure
Of that. She had but to close her eyes
to be thrilled in fancy by the last great
scene of her play; she could picture the
beautiful face of her favorite movie

the villain. But how could one impress
