A Few Thoughts on the subiset. Just Right fo

Had any told the immortal patriots who signed the
Declaration OF Independence 142 years ago today that %
enormous giant of free country would at this time be the
deciding factor In the ultimate struggle for and against
LIBERTY the "sgners" would have agreed that it
entirely possible.
There was not man Of small vision chosen by fate 70

But doubt that any of them would have stood oE

Let the civilized world take the place held by Il

As you read how applicable the words Of the gres
manifesto become to todsy's conditions.
Here is what Jefferson wrote:
EWhen in the course of human evenk II becomes
necessary for people to dissolve the political bands

GOVERNMENT HAS
A HAND in FIXING
RENT FOR OFFICERS

Camp Cody, N. NJ, Sept. H.
Headquarters at Camp Cody has a
hand in the regulation of rentals paid
by army officers whose families live
in Deming, close to the camp, under
an order issued a short time ago.,
The order explains that it was de
signed to protect the owners and
landlords as we'll as the military per-
sonnet"
Its primary object" the explain
alton continues, sis to promote the
efficiency of military service by avoid
ing the many embarrassmenis and
anxieties that inevitably attend a
sudden and unregulated demand up
on a small community for living &C
commodations far beyond it's normal
capacity"
The order prohibited officers and
enlisted men from bringing their
families to the vicinity Of the camn
without having obtained permission
from the camp commander on penal
ty OF being deprived of the privilege
OF %absenting themselves from the
camp to visit their families. This,
OF course, applied only to those who
contemplated bringing their families
to the vicinity of the camp for resi-
dence.
Permission, the order added, would
be subject to the condition that the
officers or enlisted men could get
quarters for their families in advance
OF hei rarrivai "at a reasonable rem
tai, and under a written legal agree
ment satisfactory to the camp com
mander covering a period Of at least
six months" These agreements. the
order specified. must contain a pro
vision that If the station of the renter
was changed by proper military or
ders before the expiration of the per-
iod covered by the agreement the ar
rangement might be terminated upon
one weeks notice by the tenant to
the landlord, accompanied by a COPY
OF the d transferring him from
the camp.
The order provided for the ap-
pointment by the camp commander

SHlPBULDING
OPENS EYES OF
ENTIRE WORLD
Possibilities in America are
Limitless, According to
Other Officials. .....

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-America's
vast shipbuilding program has opened
the Eyes Of the world to her ire
mendous possibilities, recently de-
clared Peter o. Knight, vice president
and general counsel of the American
International Shipbuilding corpora
ton, which operates the big plant at
Hog Island.
ut is the best possible evidence
that we intend to stick" he said. THE
Japanese visitors counted the SO
ways, one by one, and exclaimed:
Why, we have only ten more ways in
our whole country than you have in
this one yard And Lord Reading of
England declared that it typifed the
limitlessness of America.
"Others ask how we can do such
things, and they learn that at the be-
ginning Of the war the wealth of the
United States was $3.50, 900, 0OO, 900,
compared with ss5, 600, 600, 900 as the
wealth of Great Britain, $50, 900, OOO,-
900 for Germany n SIS, 600, 900, 900
for France.
1--WE have half the total banking re-
sources Of the world. Since the war
began we have bought back $4,OOO,-
100000 of securities, loaned $780,
100000 to Allies and extended credit
to Allies and business concerns to the
amount Of $1,000, 00O, 900 more. We
have carried on the enlarged business
OF the country n a war costing, us
$50,000,000 a day.
And Americas wealth has in
creased since August, 1914. . It has
one-fourth of the commerce Of the
globe and has accumulated a third of
the gold supply of the world. So
great is the nations wealth that even
this war cannot deplete it. Informed
Germans or citizens of other nations
cannot think Germany can win with
America against her"

AFFECTED

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Embargoing all
terminal markets against receiving
grain unless storage has been
provided for had a bearish effect to-
day On corn. The fact that storage
facilities in Chicago are still ample
implied that receipts herr would be
heavily enlarged. Commission houses
which ranged from ga cents decline
to IA cent advance, with October
$1.53 to ga and November $1.49 ITO

eral setback but then by a good rally.
Active shipping demand gave
strength to oats. There was no pres
sure to sell. After opening I'M
changed to Ia q cents higher, with
October 72 "a to 70, the market re-
acted a little and then again ad-
vanced.

rallied sharply.

developed again. The close was ner-
