DAY OF SUSPICION
BETWEEN THE EAST /,
AND WEST NOW GONE

New York, Oct. 1.-The day of
doubt and suspicion Is over" Viscount
lshii, head of the Imperial japanese
commission, told the Bankers club in
an address here today.
The time has come when the east
and west must give and take. Be
ginning now. we are living in h new
era, Of international relations, politi-
cally and commercially.
BY the east | mean the whole
orient, said the viscount, mot only
Japan"
The speech of Viscount 1shii this
afternoon emphasized more fully his
utterances Saturday night when he
declared Japan would maintain the
open door toward China
Since we have opened our doors
to American trade, we have pros
pered. You have given us of your best
and we will expect that you will con-
tinue to do So"
Elihu Root, addressing the commits
sion. said:
We are in the midst OF a great war
which has not only changed interna-
tional relations, but has changed the
powers that govern international af-
ialrs. Inc OLD rule of a sovereign
making an alliance and breaking it
whenever it would be to his person al
advantage, has passed The ueople
and democracy now hold the reins Of
foreign government. The great dan
ger which arises when democracy takes
control. is that the people do not have
tne opportunity TO study international
relations. Misunderstandings may
arise and they may be misled But
whenever a nation sends commission
TO lheir neighboring countries, as
Japan mas done. the possibilities Of
such MISUNDERSTANDING are elimi-
mated"

SECOND CAMPAIGN

Cleveland. o., Oct. l.-Assailing bit

guided people who talk inopportunely
of peace" Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo today launched the campaign
for Americas second great liberty loan.
Speaking at the Chamber of Commerce
the treasury secretary said
America intends that this fight
shall be won and won quickly:
America intends that those well mean
ing but misguided people who talk in
opportunely of peace when there can
be no peace until the cancer which has
rotted civilization in Europe is ex-
tinguished and destroyed forever
shall be silenced.
Il want to cay here and now and
with due deliberation, that every paci-
fist speech in this country made al this
inopportune and improper time, is. in
effect. traitorous. More than that. II
means the needless sacrifice of many
more American soldiers upon the bat
tie fields and the expenditure of much
more American treasure. Every such
speech is an encoura cement to the
kaiser to fight harder and longer. and
that means more American boys use
lessly killed.
The quicker we realize that, the bet :
ter we shall understand what has got
to be done In this war. We .ntend
that freedom and democracy shall be

AS for the military situation in thi.

GREAT BATTLE OF WAR.
The Ypres salient continues the CEN
ter of military interest along the west
ern front. The battle of Menin road
which promises to be one of the great
battles of the war, Is following it's nor
NAL course.
Last week we recorded the gains
of the British in this sector. This
week we must note the desperate at
tempt made by the Germans to retake
the lost positions
Beginning last Sunday, the con-
stantly increasing violence of the
counter attack reached a elimination
on the 27th instant when seven pow
erful onslaughts. by the picked storm
battalions of the enemy endeavored
vainly to regain the lost detectives.
The village Of Zonnebeke. the center
of the conflict, is now firmly held by
the British.
GERMANS SEE DANGER.
1t is now evident that the efforts
of the enemy in this sector are not ,
actuated merely by the desire to
regain lost terrain, of little more
than tactical value, nor must their
persistent attack be considered
merely the normal reaction of
modern field engagement in which
counter attack invariably follows
up an attack, but rather II Is to be
noted that the enemy realizes fully
the immense strategic Importance
OF the British thrust along the
Menin road.
This new British advance In
the Ypres salient now definitely
threatens the enemy's line of com
munications to the Belgian coast.
1he Ostend-L.1lle railway which in
large measure feeds the German
naval bases as Ostend and Ze-
brugge the latter the home port of
the German high seas submarine
flotilla, now comes within the
range of the firse of the British
guns.
The superiority of British over
their enemies was conclusively
proved during the engagements Of
the past week

Buenos Aires, Oct. 1.--President Iri-

of the Luxburg incident as satisfac-
tory and will firmly adhere to a course
of neutrality for Argentine. according
to a detailed outline of his position,
made public today by the national iu-
yenile committee which faVors a rup-
ture with Germany.
The statement contained the first ex-
planation by Irigoyen himself to his
views on Argentine's position and
announced he would soon call con-
gress of Americsn neutrals to decide
South Americas attitude on The war.
1t was a detailed narrative of an in

the president on Sept 26.--In this con-
versation, President Irigoyens insisted
that Argentine cannot be dragged
into the war by the United States"
I'VE pointed out to the president the
importance of the demonstration of
pro-allied forces on Sept 26." the
statement declared. President Iri-
goyen asked
What motives have you in de-
manding a rupture with Germany?
I'VE explained that our national
honor was offended by Count Luxhurg
and added that the German eXplana-
tions were unsatisfactory. President
Irigoyen asked
Why don't YOU demand q declara-
tion of war instead of rupture?'
I'VE explained that if the govern

and out of this fifty billion dollars will
come the funds. part from taxes and
part from the sale Of bonds, with
which the United States will finance
itself during this war
By taxation this generation will pay
its portion of the cost Of the war, BY
the sale of bonds the next generation
is called upon to pay its portion and
this last portion will be paid from the
wealth produstion after the war.
By this method the capital of the
rountry, its sources of income and
wealth are unimpaired. 1t is only the
yearly increment of this property that
is called upon to bear a portion of the
cost of the war. Thus despite the
waste of war and the destruction of
property involved the country may
emerge from the conflict stronger fl.
nancially more efficient and even
wealthier than before. What the gov
ernment receives from the people with
out impairing the sources of wealth of

FINANCING THE WAR

The United States is financing itseit
in this war by loans and taxes. 1t OBJ
tains funds from the people some by
taxation and some by the sale OF
bonds. and then # goes into the mar
kets and buys from the people what it
needs. The people supply the govern
ment with money and the government
with this money buys from the people
what it needs for the war.
There are three sources from which
the United States can draw the sinews
of war. First is the fixed property Of
the nation. This represents our farms
factories, mines, railways and all 9th.
er property including accumulated saw
ings. From the corpus or body Of none
Of these, except the accumulated saw
ings, win the government obtain war
funds, and even from the accumulated
savings it will draw a relatively small
portion. These accumulated savings
are invested in Industries and business
which are necessary to the country's
welfare and prosperity and it is only
that portion Of these savings which
are seeking Investment that the gov
ernment will receive in exchange for
bonds.
The second and the great source
from which the government is to de.
rive its war fund is the wealth prodnc-
ed during the war. Part Of this il will
obtain by taxation and part in exchange
for bonds. The annual production Of
the United States, from its farms,
mines, factories and other sources
amounts to fifty billion dollars year

RED CROSS EFFICIENCY

There IS Misunderstanding in some
localities as to how much Of the Red
Cross funds collected is actually used
for relief work and how much is used
TO pay the expense of collecting etc,
Some misnformed person made the
statement that only half of the funds
really reached the front
The cost Of collecting the recent vast
war fund was less than one per cent.
When one donates $40 to the Red
Cross, he can be assured that at least
$3.50 Of the amount will remain for
the purchase of ambulance wagons,
bandages, medicine and other relief
materials after all collecting expenses
are paid.
