How and Why We Loan Money
To The Allies

Very little OF the money loaned to
our allies, the secretary states, goes
out OF the United States. Most OF
it is spent right here for war ma
terials and foodstuffs. The money
we are advancing is not eontrtbu-
ton; It is a loan, on which they VIII
pay interest and which ultimately
will be repaid in full. Our allies are
looked upon by as as solvent peo-
pies, without ready money but with
perfectly good credit.
Their expenditures OF this money
in this country are supervised by as.
Their purchases are made with the
advice and assistance Of our war tn-
dustries board. This system not on
liz protects the borrowing ally but
prevents competitive bidding against
the other allies and the United
States itself, and obtains for the
borrower the same prices, the same
terms, and the same treatment our
own government demands in making
it's own purchases.
When one remembers that the
loans made to our allies enable them
to do the fighting that otherwise the
American army would have to do at
much expense, not only Of men but
Of money, money which would not
be returned to us and lives that
could never be restored, the wisdom
Of our policy in financing our allies
is plain to everyone. It is not only
a duty TO them that we are perform
ing in lending them part OF our
great wealth; it is a great duty we
are performing to our soldiers and
sailors and our nation in making
our allies powerful and effective,
thus lessening the work and danger
and suffering for our own men and
in bringing the war to an earlier
close.

er to get advance information Of
any concentration Of forces which
might mean an impending attack.
The Verdun attack was begun late
in February. 1t is doubtful If a sus-
tanned offensive from either side will
begin before that time. Talk Of an
Allied offensive is again heard, and
the Allies may not be content to wait
for the much advertised German
drive in the west. The calling Of
war council in Paris may presage an
attack on a bigger scale than any yet
known.
The German drive is expected in
the vicinity Of st. Mihiel. II an AL
lied offensive were begun, the logical
place would be along the Chemin des
Danes or on the Passchendaele ridge,
in both Of which places the French
and British hold the points of van
tage. Eagerness on the part Of one
side to forestall the attack Of the
other may bring about the beginning
Of spring operations much earlier
than would be expected, but il wealth
er conditions have any bearing on the
situation, no extended operations are
likely before the early part OF March
at least.
Submarine figures for the week
were again most encouraging, being
held at the second lowest point
reached in a year.

The treasury department, bureau
Of publicity, issues the following:
The loans made by the United
States to the governments at war
with Germany are arranged by Sec
rotary Of the Treasury McAdoo and
submitted to the President and made
with his approval.
The secretary states that his judg-
ment in making these loans Is de-
termined largely by the monthly re-
quirements Of the applicants. The
different powers, through their July
authorized representatives, make
their representations as to their
necessities for carrying on the war,
and after discussion the various
amounts are arrived at.
These loans says the secretary,
are essential for our own protection,
not only for our protection in a
military way, but for our economic
protection and welfare. The produc-
ton Of the United States has beer
speeded up and greatly stimulated.
We are producing more than our
own needs and our own economic
protection and welfare demand that
we sell much Of our products TO our
allies, To accomplish this we must
extend these credits to BILE them
to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation - an
essential part OF their effectiveness
in the war, and their commercial
well being demands that their ex-
port trade be maintained in a con-
siderable measure. They must keep
their civil population engaged to the
extent necessary to sustain their
industrial and economic existence.
1t is sound economic policy on our
part TO assist them in maintaining
their industrial life and economic
welfare.

MARYLAND's CONSUMPTION
ACT.

The proposed bill to extend
CONSUMPTION TO include all men be-
tween the ages Of IS and 60, has a
precedent in a state law, already in
existence.
Under the terms OF the bill, need
less to say. it is not proposed to send
all men between these ages to the
front. 1t is a measure to make them
available If needed. The nation may
yet have to accept such a measure If
the war continues long enough, but
whether It is needful now is another
matter. In considering it, however,
Maryland's new law is of interest.
Men are now being fined and Jailed
in Maryland for refusing to work,
and this regardless of whether or not
they have means to support them
selves. It is not merely a ''vagrancy''
measure. A man may be a million
aire and yet violate the law by idling.
1t is CONSUMPTION such as is pro-
posed by the new bill in congress.
Men are compelled to register if they
are unemployed. and they can then be
assigned to work, either for the state
or for private employers under state
supervision. Failure to register is a
misdemeanor, and failure to do the
work assigned also involves punish
ment.
The age limits in the Maryland
measure are IS and so, and news
paper reports credit the law with
eliminating idleness.

Paid Tribute To
Guynener

From Public Opinion, London: la
Malone" of Florence has received
from Paris the following particulars
respecting the funeral Of the famous
French aviator Guynemer, who fell
behind the enemy lines:
The disappearance. Of Guynemer
was made known throughout the
whole of the French air service, but
no news Of his death was at hand
until, on one of the French air
dromes, a German dropped a pack
age. This package contained a uni
form, a pocket case and a letter. The
uniform, which was bloodstained,
belonged to the heroic and unfortun-
ate aviator.
In the pocket case were banknotes.
The letter came from the COM
mander Of the German aviation corps
on the western front. 1t contained
an invitation to the French aviation
corps to come and assist at the
obsequies OF Guynemer. The most
complete. security and absolute lib
erty of passage over the lines Of fire
were guaranteed, both for the jour
ney out and return, It was expressly
stated that the French aviators could
fly close to the ground. No shot
would be fred.
On the day fixed, at dawn, fifteen
French aviators, an entire squadron,
with captain at the head, traversed
the enemy lines and made for the
place indicated in the letter of invi-
tation. ...s
After descending, the aviators. ac-
companied by their adversarieg,
made for the village close by, where
the body of Guynemer lay. In the
modest church Frenchmen. and Ger
mans Joined together in the religious
ceremony, which was brief but NOV
ing. Wreaths sent, in some cases
by the families Of the German avia-
tors, were then placed upon the cas-
ket.
In the adjoining. cemetery a Ger
man officer paid tribute to the fallen
aviator. Nor was tribute Of
homage to French aviation omitted
The officer declared that German
aviation felt itself to be the disciple
of the French, who were masters OF
courage and hardihood in the realm
of aeronauttcs. Germany" he add
ed, will never forget Guynemer."
Many eyes were wet. Many were
the handclasps when the ceremony
finished. Thereupon tho guide ac-
companied the Frenchmen to the
field where their machines were,
which, during, the ceremony, had
been rehlled with petrol, starting the
engines, and got ready for return.
An hour afterward the French
aviators descended behind their own
lines.

THE cAlLLAUX CASE.

For the first time in the history Of
the present French Republic, man
who has served as premier is in Jail
awaiting trial on the charge of trea-
son.
The case is doubIy interesting be-
cause less than four years ago his
wife was facing trial on a charge Of
murder.
When Georges Clemenceau, the
"Old Tiger of French politics, as
sumed the premiership it was with
the avowed purpose of sitting the
charges of treason and disloyalty
among French statesmen, and the ar
rest of Joseph Caillaux was a logical
sequence.
Four years ago France was stirred
to her depths by the charges made in
the Figaro. The editor, CASTOR CAL
mette, openly accused Caillaux of US
ing his official position to eXtort huge
sums from the heirs Of a merchant
named Prieu, who had claim for
lis, 900, 900 francs against the govern
ment. There were other minor
charges, but this was the chief one.
Calmette was shot and killed by
Nine. Caillaux, who was later ac-
quilted by jury, the case being pre-
scented on the question of whether or
not the murder was premeditated.
The charge against Caillaux now is
that he is the head and center Of
German propaganda in France. Dur
ing his term of office he had leanings
toward Germany and contended that
the best interests Of France lay along
the lines Of friendship with Germany
and a break with England. But what
was political difference of opinion
before the war became active treason
later, 1t is claimed.
The most important and specific
charge against the former premier is
that during a trip to Italy in 1916 he
carried on an active propaganda for
a separate peace by France and Italy.
There is a sworn statement by Gen
eral Durail that Caillaux made the
following statement:
TT is, therefore, necessary that
Italy should prepare to make a
separate peace with Germany.
The world will be astonished by
the advantages that Germany
VIII grant Italy and France, as
all their war expenditures will be
paid by Russia and the Balkans.
Serbia will disappear, and she
will have what she deserves. As
for Rumania, she also win disap-
pear. II is unfortunate, but 1t is
better that she should pay for
the breakage than We"
Not the least interesting feature Of
the case will be the evidence obtained
by the American state department of
the activities Of Caillaux in Argen-
tina. Some hint of this evidence has
been given in the letter Of Won Bern
storff regarding Caillaux, and there
may be much more Of it,
Whatever the outcome of the trial
may be, and whether Caillaux is ac-
quilted or convicted, it win mean the
stamping out Of Boloism in France,
and it will expose to the world the
shiny tran Of the German secret SER
vice.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions,

The New Republic: Stock di-
vidends are not income, ac-
cordtng to a recent decision of the
supreme court. "A stock dividend
really takes nothing from the prop
erty Of a corporation, and adds
nothing to the interest Of the share
holders. The only change is in the
evidence which represents that in
teTest." 1t follows logically that
stock dividends are not taxable I'M
der the law-taxing income as such;
whether they are taxable under the
law now in force, which specifically
applies to stock dividends as we'll
as to income more narrowly defined,
remains to be determined. We may
hope that when this question comes
before the court for decision, full
consideration will be given to the
economic facts in the case. When an
investor receives a stock. dividend,
does he in economic fact receive
merely change in the evidence OF
his interest? This is true when CAPT.
tai is openly and shamelessly water
ed. The investor receives, say. two
shares instead Of one, but the value
of the two is not superior to that Of
the one. When, on the other hand,
soundly financed corporation de-
eIares stock dividend, the original
shares do not sink in value, or. il
they sink, not in the measure of the
new value created. The effect upon
the interest OF the investor is identi-
cal with the effect Of the declaration
OF an extra cash dividend out of ac-
cumulated surplus. II such extra
cash dividends are taxable, stock
dividends ought to be taxable as
well.
