WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
AIDS FARMERS.

In compliance with telegraphed IN
structions from Secretary McAdoo, the
War Finance Corporation has wired
Federal reserve banks at Dallas, Kan
sas City, and Minneapolis to notify
banks and trust companies in their re-
spective districts, nonm embers as well
as members of the Federal Reserve
System, Of the willingness Of the cor
poration to make advances to those
financial institutions which had made
loans to farmers and cattlemen.
Droughts in these districts are Gre
ating serious condition for the farm
ers and this action is taken to relieve
the situation.
Secretary McAdoo stated that no in
dustry was more vital to the war than
raising wheat, corn, live stock, and
other food products, and that the
banks should make loans on the notes
Of farmers since they are engaged in
an industry not only necessary and
contributory to the winning Of the
war but vital to it.

LIBERTY LOAN AND SAVINGS
BANKS.

The effect of the Liberty Loans and
the War Savings Stamps on savings
banks deposits has been watched with
keen interest by economists and f1nan-
ciers. The experience of England was
very encouraging; in the year 1915
the English small depositors pur-
chased billions Of dollars Of war bonds
and at the same time increased their
deposits in savings banks over $780,
100000.
The belief is entertained that the
result in America has been very SINH
lar to that in England, and that de-
spite the purchase by the American
people Of some 1O,OOO,oOO,oOO Of Lib
erty Bonds and S5OO,Oo0,000 Of War
Savings Stamps, a very fair proper
ton Of which were purchased by saw
ings banks depositors, savings banks
deposits have increased.
Full reports have been received
from the savings banks in New York
State. They show decrease In de-
posts for the last year Of only $8,00o,-
900. but an increase of 21.252 deposit
tors. The loss IN deposits Is insight
flcant; the increase IA the number Of
depositors very significant With in
creased cost Of living and other war
conditions, the decrease in deposits
might we'll be expected; the increase
of deposltors shows that the saving
habit is greatly growing in our coun-
try.

AN AUGUST CONCEPTION.

Samuel Taylor CoIeridge, poet and
essayist, writing some 70 years ago,
said:
"The possible destiny Of the United
States Of America as a Nation of a
hundred million CT free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws Of Alfred and
speaking the language of Shakespeare
and Milton, is an august conception"
The United States is now a Nation
of a hundred million or more,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and reaching out east takes in
Hawaii and the Philippines, in the
north Alaska, and in the south the
Panama Canal. But grander than it's
physical is it's moral greatness. It's
fairness and justice, its courage and
power, it's maintenance of right and
freedom cover the world
The destiny the United States is
now fulfilling is a more august con-
ception than even the imagination of
the author of Kubla Khan conceived
Of less than a century ago.

changed to one In every three persons
IN the United States and finally that
every person in the United States shall
own bond. Fancy the state OF mind
Of the German war lords if they were
made to realize that every one of the
one hundred millions of Americans
were so determined to beat them that
they had all invested with the one idea
to beat them. Would the war con-
tinue another year? Most unlikely.
Most Of us ask each other or ourselves
when will this war end?" There Is
no quicker way to end 1t than to make
It possible for our government to throw
into it every resource that we have.
The moment that the Prussian war
lords realize this fact, they will come
to their senses. And the only way to
bring this about is for you and me to
do our part and do it fully. This
means to loan every cent we can to the
government; hold nothing back, but
give it our all. 1t isn't q question Of
when can we end the war; it is a ques-
ton of when you or 1 end the war. 1t
is what you and I do. 1t is the drop
of water, multiplied by millions, that
makes the deluge. 1t is what you and
do in our small way that. multiplied
by the millions, makes for united
strength before which nothing can
stand. Win the war we will. but when
we win it depends upbn US. 1T can't
be too soon for me-" we say. Then
let's get busy. real busy. and save and
loan to our government what we save.

SAVING AND SERVING.

By ecOnomizing in consumption and
with the resultant saving purchasing
the Governments war securities the
American citizen performs a double
1uty. The citizen and the Govern
mont can not use the same labor and
material; if the citizen uses it, the
material and the labor can not be used
by the Government. If the citizen
economies in consumption, so much
material and labor and transportation
space is left free for Government uses
And when the saving effected is lent
TO the Government more money is thus
placed at the disposal Of the Govern
ment.

the comment that it had fallen down.
"Never in the history of time, he
declared, had an army of its size beer
raised, equipped, trained and prepar.
ed for battle as had that of tho Unit
ed States.
Mr.. Baker took perosanl response
bility for getting men under training
before their equipment WIS ready to
the last shoe button. Such officers
as Major General Leonard Wood, he
said, had urged this policy. He de-
scribed conferences that evolved the
ordnance program and its fulfilmcnt,
submitting documents to prove that
France and Great Britain were sup
plying artillery and machine guns for
the first forces ut their own request
in order that ships might be used
for ether purposes.

Tables were cited to show that ov-
crcrowdirg in the camps and canton

the sickness had come mostly In the
camps where medical opinion had
agreed it was least to be cexpectcd.
The history of the development, and
building of the cantonmcnts was
given in detail to show that every
precaution possible had been taken.
Analyzing the efforts of the ord
nance bureau, the secretary said that
General Crozicr had urged for years
u greater artillery preparation; that
he mt least, had realized the time gun
making required. But even France,
herself, with the enemy ut her throat

what vast gun programs the war
would lead to.
During his general statement of

! the war plan, and how it was dcycl-
oped, Mr.. Baker was rarely interrupt
cd.
During the staement to the com
mittee, MIR. Baker said.
when we started into this war |
think it was commonly thought
throughout the country that our con-
tribution Mt outset might we'll be
financial and industrial. The indus
tries of this country were largely de-
votd Mt that time to the manufacture
of war materials for our allies.
"As | suggested this morning when
we went into the market, we found
IL largely occupied, so that our prob
lem was not going TO Il shoe factory
and saying make shoes for u.s. but
1t was going Il factry that never
made shoes. because all the shoe fac
tories were busy making shoes for
people from whom WE could not take
them, and saying "lcarn how to make
shoes in order that you may make
them for us"
"Now, of course, this is not true of
shoes, but it is true of machine gums.
it is true of other arms, it is true of
ammunition, it is true of forging
capacity, which was the greatest de-
feet in the country and all of this
we had not merely not to disturb the
program Of allied manufacture in this
country, but we had not to cut or
the supplies of raw material to our
allies, and we had not to disturb the
industry of this country, to such an
extent that products upon which they
depended for the success of their mil
ltary operations would be intcrfcrcd
with, both agricultural and CONNER
cial and Industrial products.
AT the outset the idea was that
we would be IL financial and Industrial
assistance to our allies during the
year 1918, and I think probably can
read from the Metropolitan Magazine
for August, II suggestion which will
show that the current expectation of
the country was. The editor tho Me-
tropolitan Magazine was protesting
against what he believed to be the
intention of the government at that
time"
