WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The new
Italian war loan has been success,
cable from Rome to-day saying:
subscriptions to the new national
loan in Italy have already passed the
three billion lire mark, and subscrip-
tions, large and small, are being stead

most critical conditions, is the express

City Takes Step
For Ownership
OF B. r. 7. Lines
Corporation Counsel Seeks
Data for Franchise For
feiture Claims

One of the first steps looking toward
municipal ownership of the transit
lines was taken yesterday by Corpora
ton Counsel William P. Burr. He ap-
peared before the Board of Estimate
and requested that the committee on
franchises Of that body send him as
soon as possible information as to
what forfeitures or partial forfeiturcs,
if any, may be claimed by the city
against the companies owned or con-
trolles! by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company.
The request, which was granted, was
made pursuant to the resolution re-
Gently introduced in the Board Of
Aldermen calling upon the Corporation
Counsel to outline method of pro-
cedure by which the city could i'm
mediately acquire ownership of all the
railways operated by the B. r. r. He
also asked the committee on franchises
to furnish him information as to which

parties to the proceedings before the
Public Service Commission on the ap-
plicaton for an increase Of two cents

city containing conditions that they
arc not to charge more than a 1ive-cent
fare for one continuous trip within the
city limits.
BUS Franchise Up
The matter of granting franchise
to the Fifth Avenue Coach Company to
operate new bus lines throughout the
city again came before the Board OF
Estimate yesterday. Mayor Hylan
made it clear, so far as he was con-
cerned, that the board would grant no
franchises to private corporations, but
extensions might be granted "until the
city is ready to operate the new lines
itself"
President Smith of the Board Of AL
dermen supported the Mayor in his at
titude. Representative Of the Wash
ington Heights Taxpayers Association
appeared and urged that the franchise
be granted~in order to relieve transit
conditions in that part of the city. The
argument on the subject was getting
warm when Controller Craig called at
tenton to the fact that the injunction
obtained some time ago restraining the
board from acting in the matter had
not yet been vacated. Finally the ques-

That this task has been intelligent
ly. patrioticaly and expeditiously per-
formed is evident in the fact the trea-
sury, which now spending about $780,
C00,C00 a day, has been supplied with
money faster than it could be used.
That in doing this our captains of
finance have not spared their strength
their time or their lives is shown by
the mortality amongst them.
Many have died and in most cases
their demise is traceable to the strain
that the war has imposed James
Stillman of the City Bank in New
York is case in point.
Most Of them have felt like the
bank president who in subscribing to
his quota of Treasury Certificates tele-
grabbed Mr. McAdoo:
Everything We have is at your dis
posal. 1t will be no use to US if Ger
many wins"
If it be true that patriotism is
simply an expression of intelligent
self-interest'," then the bankers Of
this country have shown themselves
superintendent set of men, for they
have been patriotic in both word and
deed y
But it would be unfair to attribute
their self-devotion wholly to their self
interest. 1t has been informed by a
higher motive and realization that
Anglo-Saxon democracy is worth pre-
serving because it is the most salts
flying form of political self-expression
that society has as yet discovered.
The capitalist is Of necessity, con-
Sciously or uncOnsciOusly, a philOsO-
pher, which means lover of wisdom
Because he is philosopher he is a
patriot and because he is a patriot he
has put the capital that he owns or
controls unreservedly at the disposal
of the government. The existence of
the Federal Reserve Bank System and
, he amendments to the FEDERAL Re.
serve Law which became effective last
year have made it possible to convert
our commercial assets into liquid cred
! it with facility formerly unthink-
! able.
| TO the superstitiCus it would seem
that we had been provided with the
Federal Reserve Banks by an anti-Ger-
/ man God, for in them is to be found
| the sUrest guarantee of financial eff
| ticiency by which war that in the
last analysis is a question Of money,
| will be won.
With the addition Of the War FL
nance Corporation to the cOuntry's fl.
nancial machinery we shall be sup
! piled with the most perfect system Of
transforming property into liquid
credit that has yet been devised and
as our capitalists become accustomed
to its use they will find themselves
able to work wonders as yet undream.

task involved, loan directors point out
that the New York federal reserve
bank has rented two entire floors in
a big office building to accommodate the
accountants and clerks required to
manage Liberty Loan reports.
This work accounts for a large part
of the expense of gathering the big ma
tional credit. Another large item OF
expense is the printing of advertising
posters and pamphlets, and the en-
craving of the 5onds, which has been
under way at the government bureau
Of engraving and printing for months.
In addition. there is a multitude OF
minor expenditures connected with ma
