MANCHESTER, Nov. 7.-The Brit ish chancellor of the eXchequer, An drew Bonar Law, at q great war aims meeting here tonight declared that Great Britain could look to the future not only with hope but with absolute confidence He said that Great Brit aims overseas force is more than three million, adding: A mightier force nev- CT existed"
 Great Britain has trebled the air plane engine production since October 1916," he said.

 Referring to the Italian situation, MT Bonar Law said:
 We are watching with the deepest anxiety what is Happening in italy with deep anxiety, but not without hope"
 He believed the Italian army would be able to stop the German advance until aid had come from Great Britain and France.
 "A determined effort is being made by small section to frighten deposr; . ors, particularly small investors, from lending money to the state by saying that il is unsafe,' the chancellor said Nothing could be more absurd It IS also nonsense to say that the debt would be repudiated.

Soul sterilizing, stupefy ng astouning, leviathanistic in ponder osity, humor idealized, realized and paralyzed," are some of the circus press agents pet terms that ale be ing applied by local Shriners to tn, approaching patriotic ceremonial Of Fl Zaribah temple to be held in tn
 city November 15. From every oasis in the desert of Arizona comes the word that the faithful are preparing to respond loyally to the call of the illustrious potentate. and that
 they will drag with them to the
 assembling of the caravan many q
 poor, unsuspecting novice, who will
 be forced to undergo the most fiend-
 ish, tracking treatment on the burning sands, ere they are once
 more restored to consciousness by sipping camels milk and Zem-Zem.
 To say that elaborate preparations are being made for the ceremonial next week would be putting it mildly, and with reduced rates on all rail- roads, it is expected that one of the most largely attended gatherings of | Shriners ever held in this city. l Illustrious Potentate H. A. Morgan 1 and Vernon L. Clark, past potentate are now on a tour of the southern part of the state in the interests ot | the new Shrine Temple and also the | approaching ceremonial.

lFCPupiSdH "A. r. GcdSeO Wfel
 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7.-Japan's re- sources have been depleted by the war and they must be augmented to enable her to continue her full participation in the world strife, Baron Magata head of the special finance commission from Japan, said tonight in a speech at a dinner rendered to the commission by the Commercial club of St. Louis.
 "Japan's desire not only to do her part in the war but to render the fullest possible aid to her allies has forced her to greatly diminish her stocks of supplies" said the baron. Her resources are limited and they are now strained to meet the demand for necessary and proper materials.
 Tn the past most economic policies have been based on national self in terest. In world crosis like the pres ent, and under the conditions of com mon interest that exist, should not new economic measures dealing with in ternational trade and finance be con- ceived and formulated on broader grounds? Such a new policy of inter- national finance, bringing mutual ben eft, would be another bond binding nations in friendship.

OTHER SHIPPERS OBJECT
 TO INCREASED RATES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Shippers contending that the freight rates on their products already are high enough, occupied most of todays hearing on proposed increases in commodity rates before Examiner Disque Of the interstate commerce commission
 During the hearing, Eugene Nor rls, chairman of the General Freight association territory railroad board, stated the railroads already had formulated but had deferred filing pending the present investigation an application to include lumber in the proposed general fifteen per cent ad- vance. The plan, he said, is to ap- ply the increase not only within the official classification territory, east of the Mississippi river, but inter- territorially.
