throughout the period Of the loan.
The loans run from 5 to 40 years, at
the option Of the borrower. The OBJ
ject of these long time loans is to en-
able the farmer to meet these small
annual payments out of the increased
earnings of the land made possible by
the investment Of the borrowed money
This new banking system IS purely
cooperative. ltis for the sole use of
farmers and prospective farmers.
Farmers will eventually own all of the
stock of the federal land banks and
they will elect the officers of these
banks. There is no opportunity for
individual profit in the entire system
The preliminary organization of
national farm loan associations has
progressed to a degree far beyond the
expectations Of the Federal Farm
Loan Board at Washington and every
thing points to the unqualified success
Of the new enterprise.

AN EYE FOR AN
EYE" TO Be THE
new PROGRAM
Lieut.. Gen. Smuts Official
ly Announces Policy
Of Reprisals

London, Oct. B.-Speaking with
the authority OF a member Of the war
cabinet, Lieutenant General SHUTS,
former commander Of the forces In
German East Africa, in an address
yesterday TO the presidents Of the
chambers OF commerce of the United
Kingdom, said the government had
been reluctantly forced by recent
air raids on London and other Eng
lish cities to apply the maxim of 'an
eye for an eye and tooth for a
TOOTH" and carry out an air offensive
on an unprecedented scale against
German cities. This announcement
which has been awaited with great
anxiety by the whole nation. Is be-
Iieyed to mark a new turning point
in the war as. far from accomplish
ing their purpose to terrorize the
civilian population by the tntroduc-
ton of their latest cruelties, the Ger
mans have only strengthened the de-
termination Of the British people to
20 on with the war to certain vic
tory.
In making his announcement Gen.
eraI SHUTS declared that the peo-
pie of London after recent raids are
thinking less OF peace than ever be-
fore.
This war has already been cruel
and horrible beyond any known In
the history OF mankind and it's sor-
rows and anxieties are slowly break
ing the heart Of humanity" said
General SHUTS.
'Tt is almost unbearable to think
that another chapter Of the horrors
must be added to the awful story,
but we can only plead that It has
not been our doing and the blame
must rest on an enemy who appar-
entity recognizes no laws, human or
divine"
General SHUTS declared that what
ever had been the danger OF the
submarine. IL had ceased to be a de-
cisivs factor. Take that from me as
a bedrock fact" he added.
The total air losses In London last
month, General Smuts said, was 81
persons killed and Dat injured.
During the first nine months OF
this year, General Smuts continued
"the losses from air raids were 19I
persons killed and 794 wounded az
against 497 killed and 14,104 injured
