have changed. The annex office has
been closed and there are but four
telephones in the other office.
Mr.. Reid has found so many tasks
to his hand that he is no longer con-
cerned with the stock market. The
American Can Company has been MAX
ing shells and gas masks; the Steel
Corporation has been turning out steel
for ships and shells; the Liberty Ma
tional Bank has handled the British
securities sent here for liquidation or
to be used as collateral. Somehow, the
old game of trying to beat other spec
ulators lost it's attraction in the COM
petition of the new game of trying to
beat the Kaiser. Perhaps when the
war is, over, Mr.. Reid will become
again a great market operator. 1t is
just as good a guess that he will not.
He has just as much aptitude for big
business problems and he may get his
fun out of them in the future.

Charles F. Coffin, State Red

Richmond Drivers.

Quakers must wake up to realiza-
ton that world brotherliness is not

before the Red Cross workers of the
county at a luncheon at the Y. NJ. G..

preparatory to the opening of the city

There should be no thought of
peace until Germany has been whipped
on her own SOIL" he continued. I'VE
are at war with an outlawed nation.
Since 1870, Germany has deteriorated
into brute beast, and we can only
meet such combantant with brute
force. Our enemy has no reason. no
mercy no morality. The Germans
should be made to feel what France
and Belgium have been made to feel.
The only way to deal with them is to
kill them, and to kill them quick.
Must Support the War.
I'm order to win the war we must
support the Red Cross and other in
situations growing out Of the war, and
there should be no reason why the
Red Cross drive should not receive
unqualified support. The greatest
money sacrifice we can give cannot
compare with the sacrifice made by
the men in the trenches.
Indiana people are showing their
splendid patriotic spirit by the en-
thusiasm with which they have taken
hold of the Red Cross drive. The
quota assigned the state this year is
more than so per cent. larger than
last years. but there is no doubt that
we will raise the money.

at the meeting.

to give our services over here. Every
