Sees This Country
AS Worlds Creditor
THE PASTURE BARS

The hunted stag now nearly spent
Turns homeward to his lair;
The wounded Bedouin seeks his tent
And finds safe shelter there.
So life returns upon its track;
We toll, we fight, we roam,
Till the long shadows point us back
And evening brings us home.
Tonight beside the pasture bars
heard the whippoorwill,
AS one by one the early stars
Came out above the hill.
I heard the tinkle of the spring,
heard the cattle pass,
Slow through the dusk and lingering
To crop the wayside grass.
Oh, come thou peace Of God
With all our understandings sight;
Fall on me as the dews that fall
And with the falling night.
! A barefoot boy I drove the cows
In summer twilights still
And paused beneath the orchard
boughs
To list the whoppoorwill.
Beside those hills and wales
Beside that ancestral stream,
Wash off the city's fever strain,
Bring back my boyhood dreams.
Beside those doors where life began
There let It find its close,
And be its brief remaining span
All given to repose.

these airplanes are: A pilot climbed
to sufficient height, and then stop
ped his engine and took his hands
eff the controls, merely keeping his
feet on the rudder bar. He steered
for an airdrome twenty miles away
and except for keeping her straight
he let the airplane do what she liked
She travelled the whole twenty miles
as steadily as bicycle coasting down
Q long, straight and gentle hill. OF
course, the pilot had to take hold o.
the control stick to land the machine
in the airodrome, but, except fer that
/ and the steering, the airplane made
the whole journey by herself.

j. L. ROyensky Asserts Other Nations
Probably VIII Owe Us $4,000 OO, 1000
Year from Now

Denver, Col, Sept. 25.-Other ma

States nearly s9,OOO,OOQO00 at the end
of the war II it should come about

York told the bankers assembled here
today in the national convention Of
the American Institute Of Bankers.
Mr.. Rovensky is vice president Of the
National Bank of Commerce Of New

The world now owes the United
States about $685. 100000 Mr.. Roven-
sky said, and he estimated that this
would be increased within a year BY
about sS,OOO,OOO,OOO.
"By the time the war Is over" said
Mr.. Rovensky, America win be one
of the leading creditor nations Of the
world, financial center from which
a large part of the worlds economic
forces will be directed where the
debts and credits of the worlds trade
will to large extent be cast up and
be settled.
World banking on scale hereto
fore undreamed of will be the order
of the day. The star Of financial and
economic supremacy that has beer
travelling westward since the dawn o!
civilization and that now rests over
London, will again move onward In
its course and cross the Atlantic. In
contemplating this picture, there
spreads before our eyes vista Of q
world of boundless opportunities
which awaits young American bank
ers Of the present generation"
Mr.. Rovensky estimated that after
the war the United States would re-
ceive from foreign nations annual!
about $3.50, 100000 in interest on 1T
: loans; instead of having to pay abou
$175, 100000 annually in interest as

HOW LIBERTY LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS WERE HAM
DIED IN MIDDLE WEST

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 19.-"Assuming
that there 10 no good reason why one
loyal American should chase other
equally loyal citizens through corn
fields, cellars, attics, and silos to get
them to do their duty" as they ex-
pressed it, several county committees
in the Middle West have adopted
system of obtaining Liberty Loan sub
scriptions which has attracted wide
comment from members of commit
tees in the Southern states. In the
Third Loan campaign 1t worked so
well that 1t is expected to spread over
the whole country in the Fourth loan
campaign, which opens on September
% and continues three weeks.
| The plan was simply to prepare a
mailing list containing the name Of
every man in the county. First, the
campaign was thoroughly explained
to every citizen. Then, later on, a
registration notice was sent him, re-
questing him to report for registra
ton at a certain place on a certain
day. Three days were taken for reg
istration, and some of the counties re
ported that every man was listed ant
his subscription taken on those three
days, instead of In long campaign
of solicitation.

MEETING
EXPECTED TO Be
HELD IN PARIS
Only Formal Sessions at Con-
cluding Stages May Be Held
at Versailles.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Nov 25-The conference on
the preliminaries Of peace probably
will be held in Paris instead of at Ver-
sa lilies, owing to the superior accomo-
dations and conveniences in the capi-
tai. Only the formal sessions at con-
Guiding stages will be held at Versail-
les.
The only active sittings now going
on are those of the joint armistice
commission which holds daily sessions
at Spa, the former German hea adquar-
ters. but which now is held by the
French. French, British and German
delegates attend the meetings. Gen
eral Nudant represents Marshal Foch
with Commandant Sisteron as his as
sistant. General Won Winterfeldt is
the German military representative
and Matthias Erzberger. who also was
a member of the German armistice
delegation, participates in most of the
sessions.
Some of the meetings are described
as having been very animated over
the efforts of the Germans to obtain
modification of the terms of the arm
istice. Marshal Foch's reply was a
refusal to consider change and a
dispatch from Basel gives the text
Of the marshal's reply, which says:
mo attention can be given to the
demands presented in Gen. Won Win
terfeldt's letter Of November 21.'
The joint armistice commission
meeting appears to be in accordance
with clause "a of the armistice which
admitted the principle of permanent
international armistice commission
under the direction of the allied mill
tary and naval conferees. While it's
duties are restricted to the execution
Of the armistice it is one of the pre-
liminaries which will merge later into
the sessions of the interallied confer
ence and the peace congress.

South Africa Saved
by Prompt Action
During War Revolt
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Saturday, Nov 23-At
a meeting of the empire parliamentary
association at the house Of parliament
tonight. Viscount Lewis Harcourt
first commissioner Of works. told an
interesting story of the methods used
in combating the threatened revolt in
South Africa in 1914. The danger
which threatened South Africa at that
time, he said, was not fully realized
by the country in general. Rebel
forces had captured the arms and am
munition belonging to the forces OF
the Union of South Africa and Gener-
al Botha cabled for their replacement
without delay. An appeal was made
to Lord Kitchener, who refused to di-
vert one rifle or one cartridge from
the European front.
Lord Harcourt said that he searched
the world for nearly week and ulti-
mately found the weapons required in
a friendly country. A ship was dis
patched from England loaded with
arms and ammunition and sent to
Cape Town. 1t reached it's destination
in sixteen days and the most critical
period ever experienced by the Union
of South Africa was virtually over
Lord Harcourt. who was formerly
colonial secretary, said that immedi-
stely after the British ultimatum to
Germany expired at midnight August
4. 1914, he cabled the fact that to the
whole empire and before morning had
received replies from the smallest and
most outlying centers. During the
war. he reminded his hearers, Eng
land never lost colony. even tempo
rarily, although the Falkland islands
had ben saved by margin of only
"a hours.
Among The speakers of the evening
were James William Lowther, speak
er o fthe house of commons, and Wal
ter Hume Long, secretary of state for
colonies.

SUPPLY ACTIVITY
FOR FIGHTERS
PROMPTLY CUT
Task of Reverting Great Busi-
ness Machine of Army
Faced in France.
fRv Associated Press)


PARIS, Nov. 25-General Pershing
issued orders after the signing of the
armistice with Germany for the
prompt reduction of the extensive sys-
tenn for purchasing supplies for the
United States army in Europe and for
the speedy transition to a peace basis.
Acting on this order, military au.
thorities have given notice Of cancel
alton of contracts so far as possible
with a view of diminishing rapidly the
inflowing stock Of supplies required
for an army of 100000 men. An Off
Ger who has had much to do with this
branch of the service, sums up the
situation as follows:
'The American expeditionary force
on November II, the day the armistice
was declared, was travelling at full
speed ahead and was at the height of
its supply activity. To reverse this
tremendous business machine is the
task upon which it now is engaged,
and the efficiency of its business or
ganization is being manifested in its
quick accommodation to the entirely
changed circumstances.
when the American forces first be-
gan coming to France there was a
great scarcity OF ocean tonnage. 1t
was impossible for many months to
ship more than 100000 or 4O0,00 tons
of supplies to the forces, notwith-
standing the great necessity for en-
gineering material. engines and gen.
eral construction equipment. Search
for material in Europe. therefore, had
to be conducted with the greatest
possible energy over a wide field
Bulk from Europe.
"The American army established
agencies in all allied and neutral
countries under general purchasing
agent. The order purchasing machin-
cry was augmented by this additional
organization.
ITO sum up, more than 1O,000,0 900
tons of material for the expeditionary
forces was secured on this side of the
ocean. This was one of the prime fac
tors in the successful operations of the
army. To have transported this ma
terial from America would have taken
300 ships of 5000 tons capacity about
48O days or Is months.
apart from food supplies the army
has secured the bulk of it's material
from Europe. Notwithstanding the
great emergency under which it op-
Grated, the American army endeavor-
ed to subject itself to all the checks
and balances of a normal business or
ganization which were possible under
the circumstances.
"A bureau of, contracts and adjust
ments was establishments with view
to simplifying. international and inter-
allied obligations.
"A system of Independent depart
mental action was created and placed
under the supervising authority of
this bureau. This coordination of the
purchase and supply activities of the
American army with it's allies covers
all Europe and was one of the first
things given attention by General
Pershing in the business organization
of his army"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Hearings
will begin before the house Of = the
merchant marine committee December

provides for permanent government
control of radio communication
