DISPLAY WINDOWS.

In the spring a young mans fancy
frequently turns to other things than
thoughts of love, though it is not to
be denied that his interest in clothes
may nave some connection with the
tenderer feeling.
III SUCH is the case spring this
year IS practically neglected from a
sartorlal standpoint for a glance at
the snow windows and a mental COM
parlson with these same windows
last year Will reveal how great a
change ar has made in our national
life
Then, if our memory serves us
right, and old copies of magazines
are considered good reference books
on the subject, all was peace among
the clothlers and their window-dress-
ers. Subdued tones and modest
styles predominated.
Now, how different, The torpedo
that sent down the Lusitania was lit
orally heard round the world, and its
reverberatlons are still ringing in
our ears We changed our national
front, and re-dressed our national
display window. Where once were
'civvies" are to be seen only KHAKI
and navy blue, gold braid, sleeve in
sigma and puttees. Cravats are dis
lions Of wearing apparel
Clothes may not make the man. but
they help make the army and navy.
KNOCKING KNOCKERS.
The astonishing thing about the
charge that the president is lll-in-
formed concerning our war prepare
tions is to assume that man of
Mr.. Wilson's mental capacity would
be content to remain ignorant of the
work of the various departments.
He realized the gravity of our en-
trance into the war long before we
took the step. At every stage of the
great conflict he has shown himself
to be better posted than the rulers OF
the belliperent nations. 1t Is lncon-
ceivable /lat he has lost this percep-
tion now that we are engaged IN the
struggle.
Granting then, that Mr.. Wilson is
aware of our needs. it would be IN
consistent with our knowledge of lis
consciousness to believe that MS
vigilance has relaved, simply because
our attitude has changed from that
of a neutral to that of a belligerent.
He must and does know, the forces
and resources essential to the proper
conduct of the war. If he did not 1t
is certain that he would take lmme-
date steps to find out. With this
we may be sure that he
will do his utmost to get men and
material, if carping critics who are
more pro- German than sincere Will
not distract his attention, and the
attention of his subordinates by p)-
litical muck raking.

REVOLVING FUND

Proposal to use a revolving fund of not
more than sixty million dollars to stabilize
the price of Liberty Bonds and maintain
their price at par is made in bill intro
duced in the House by Representative Cor
dell Hull, democrat, of Tennessee, the bill
providing that the Secretary of the Treas
ury each month allot a sum equal to one
seventh of one per cent Of the amount of
the bonds issued, to be used to purchase
and cancel Liberty Bonds when the price
has been forced down by artificial methods.
Mr. Hull explained that if the true value
of the bonds Of both issues were less than
the issue price, the proposed legislation to
prevent depreciation would not be so fully
justified
The truth is that in point of safety and
fair return on the investment there is not
a more desirable security anywhere today
than these bonds, when the tax exemption
privileges are considered. Of course this
statement would not be so applicable to
small number of persons who are subjected
to the higher category of income tax rates.
The sales of these two classes of bonds
on the New York stock exchange only ag
gregated $92, 100000 from November Both
to January 26. This relatively small
amount of sales has indicated an apparent
depreciation of the capital values of the
entire amount of these bonds outstanding
to value around 90.
1t is we'll understood that these sales.
were principally made by subscribers who
purchased more than they could carry and
found it advisable and necessary to unload
a portion at discount rather than to I'm
dertake to retain them. The aggregate
amount of these two classes of bonds out
standing is more than ST, 100000 600. 1t is
obvious that the true capital value of this
entire amount of bonds should not be de-
termined or measured by the results of the
practically forced sales at a discount of
only very small percentage of these bonds
outstanding. Reasonable measures to
maintain the stability of the market as it
affects these entire issues of bonds would
seem to be desirable.
