Ono Of the plans proposed for
tightening the burden of work on in
stallment purchases of liberty bonds
during the fourth loan campaign
provides for a central Office with
sufficient clerical help to handle the
entire volume of subscriptions of this
character, the banks caring for the
cash purchasers and for sales of large
amounts under the terms provided for
the f1otation of the issue by the Treas
ury Department.
This would avoid all solicitation on
the part of the bankers for subscrip-
tions of this character. They would,
however. receive subscriptions, issuing
the coupon form Of receipt and
sending the duplicate receipt to the
central office for record and for al
lotment to some banks. the quota
Of each bank on installment payments
being agreed upon from time to time
and after the close of the campaign.
All subscriptions taken at matching
bees and at street sales would be
handled in like manner where de-
ferred payments were provided for.
is counted upon as part of the plan.
This system would do away with the
handling of the small bonds by the
banks. although the buyer might di-
rect that, on completion of payment,
the bond be sent to home address or
Naturally there will be some OBJ
lection to this plan, as there would
be to any plan where forty-four
banks must be nearly unanimous in
their action.
The plan suggested would practi-
cally do away with personal contact
between the bank and the customer,
and this contact. with resultant pos,
sibilfties for business relations, has
been considered as a measure of
compensation for the labor incident
to each campaign.
If the banks will agree to this
method it will be a great relief from
detail work, especially at this time,
when senior officials are wondering
what they are going to do for junior
help.

Importance Of Naval Attacks

a LIED fleets in the Adriatic and in the
North Seq are contributing effectively TO
the strangling Of the central powers. They are
robbirg the enemy Of strategic bases, they
are destroying German and Austrian meu-of-
war, they are hampering the work OF the
Teuton armies and are further safeguarding
the lines Of communication, not only between
Europe and America. but between Italy and
Macedonia and between England and Bel
GUM.
The Importance OF the recent naval opera
tions should not be weighed lightly. The
smashing OF Durazzo, for example, has made
Albania absolutely untenabe by the Austrian
armies operating there. Already the enemy
forces which had been operating on the south
ern shores Of Albania had been compelled
TO withdraw when the detection of Bulgaria
left their flank exposed, and the 'fall of Du-
razzo the base Of Austrian supplies and the
menace to the allied lines of communication
IN the Adriatic means the complete eyacua-
ton OF both Albania and Montenegro. Also
II means the free passage of allied trans
port for further assaults upon Austria on the
Danube frontier.
There seems to be excellent chance OF
the Macedonian army cutting off the retreat
ing AustTians entirely. They must retire
through the almost impossible Albanian
Mountains. They cannot now send any great
bodies of men home by way of the sea. They
have only one miserable little railroad in
their rear, and with the Serbians free to
move with all possible haste, il is not at all
unlikely that the Serbs will intercep, the
Austrians and achieve victory which will
stun the government at Vienna
The naval operations in the Adriatc have
counterpart in the successful cooperation
OF the allied feet with the British and Bel
glan armies in Belgium. These fleets have
he
bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge as well as
the German lines Of communication back OF
thelr hard-pressed armies. Already subma-
rue operations in the channel have been
rendered so difficult as to be weil-nigh i'm
possible. and il the steady advance OF the
forces on shore compel the abandonment
or the Belgian ports by Germany, Great Brit
ain VIII be In position to strike with great
effect through Belgium.
AT the present time IL is necessary for
the British to move their men and their
materials to French ports on the lower chan.
mel. From these ports the whole TRANSPORT
must then move by railway to the front
inns route Is not only long, but, with Ger
man submarines operating from Ostend and
Neebrugge. 1t has been dangerous To pro-
tect IL, large part OF the British fleet has
been necessary. Double lanes of patrols
nave been maintained across the Strait OF
Dover. But with this menace minimized and
with the line Of communications shortened
by direct transport from the English coast
to that Of Belgium, the British forces will
be far more effective in the field than they
have been in the past
All these advantages have been made pos
siDie by the gallantry and efficient service
OF the allied napes. and the successes which
they nave achieved entitle them to the widest
praise of all the governments concerned
