Billions For Defense

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo will offer for subscription
every two weeks between now and
the opening of the next Liberty
Loan, Treasury Certificates of In
debtedness in amounts of FIVE hum
dred million dollars or more. If al
the banks of the country do their
share, and it is contemplated that
they will, three billion dollars of
the certificates will be taken by
them between now and the flotation
of the next Liberty Loan.
The raising of five hundred mil
lion dollars every two weeks seems
tremendous task, yet in relation
to the banking resources of the
United States it seems easy of ac-
complishment.
The resources of the National
banks of the United States on No
vember 20 last were more than
eighteen and a half billion dollars
and the resources of state banks
and trust companies on June 20,
1917, were practically twenty-one
billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named
when the latest reports were made.
The three billion expected by the
Secretary of the Treasury is less
than 10 per cent of the banking re-
sources of the Nation.
The banking power of the world
n 1890 was estimated at fifteen and
a half billion dollars; the banking
power of the United States is now
two and a half times as great at
the banking power of the world as
late as that year.
The United States is just begin
ming to demonstrate it's unexampl-
ed power and might. It is called
upon to defend the liberty of the
world, to preserve civilization and
humanity. 1t is answering in a
way to demonstrate that it is equal
to the task in courage, in genius,
in men, and in money.

Social Activities
Women's COLLEGE

Last week might we'll have been
called Red Cross Week at the Wo-
men, College of Delaware, for most

Mrs. Willard Hall Porter came
ooWn and talked to the girls. Mrs.
Porter told of her experiences in
France, and spoke to the girls
about the Red Cross work in Will
mngton. Mrs. Neilds explained
about surgical dressings. The girls
are hoping to start two groups for
the preparation of surgical dress
lngs, a weekly meeting for the
girls and a bi-weekly meeting for
the faculty. The girls all knit on
Red Cross articles and many are
knitting squares for an afghan that
the college is to make.
Sunday evening in the Young
Women's Christian Association
meeting, Miss Beckett spoke on the
subject, Reaching Onward" She
talked about Social Service and in
that connection spoke of Red Cross
work.
Friday night the Dramatic Club

french statesmen and leaders and
to influence French opinion by sub
sldlzlng newspapers in France or
founding new publications to dis
seminate the spirit of pacifsm or
defeat, devoted a sum of money in
the neighborhood of $2,50O,OOO.
Bolo himself was said to have had
the use of fund of more than
81 100000 to be used in attempting
to corrupt the French press.
Bolo Pasha's activities were of a
peculiar interest to Americans be-
cause it was charged that of the
funds at his disposal S1,6S3,O0O
was transferred from the Deutsche
Bank in Berlin to France by way of
New York. 1t was as a result of
the discovery Of his manipulation
if this fund through five New York
banking houses that the New York
State encouragement was able to
obtain information which was for
warded to M. Jusserand, the
French ambassador at Washington,
and which brought about Bolo's ar
rest in Paris.

Bolo Pasha And The
German Propagandists

Paul Bolo Pasha's court martial
was one of the first of the so-called
cases of "intelligence with the
enemy" and came up for trial be-
fore the Third Court-Martial Of
Paris on Feb. 4. Bolo Pasha was
harged with having capitalized
the company that bought the Paris
newspaper LIE Journal with money
obtained from the Germans.
Bolo Pasha was an instrument
Of German propaganda, one of the
first to find exposure in the French
Investigations Of 1917, and his
name has come to be used as typi-
flying the entire system of "Bolo-
ism," by which Germany strove to
break down the French morale and
instil desire for peace by spread
ing the idea that Germany could
not be beaten and that it would be
we'll to make the best terms pos
sible with her as soon as they

Dramatic Story of Algerian Life

Dramatic Story of Algerian Life
The leading role, that of the
young and lovely wife of a mid
dle-aged Englishman who leaves
her to herself while he INDUCES a
passion for big game hunting,
might have been written especial-
ly for Miss Ferguson. Into her
life, while she and her husband
are stopping at an inn in Algeria,
there comes an Arabian officer of
Spahis - the picturesque native
cavalry of that old-worId land.
She is fascinated by him and he
pursues her with the ardor and
passion of his dark-skinned race.
There are moonlit evenings in the
silent desert, when the Arab woos
Sir .Claude's bride while Sir
Claude is far in the hills hunting
Barbary sheep. Tragedy finally
comes-but not to Lady Wyverne
nor to Sir Claude. A hand out of
the past clutches the Spahis'
throat just as his newest victim
is about to fall into his grasp.

Tuesday, February IL, 1918. Miss
Alice Lincoln Roop, 80, gave a
short sketch of his life, and then
read some of the beautiful tributes
that the poets of America have paid
to our beloved President. The
most beautiful poem read by Miss
Roop was the familiar ooh Cap
tain, My Captain!" by Walt Whit
man.
On Wednesday morning, Miss
Mary Evans, '21, gave a report of
the work done by women in the
service of the country, particularly
in the navy. The report was an in
splratlon to the girls in that it

W. c. D. can do.

tions on Thursday morning, the
first being the first movement of
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata"
On Friday DR.. K. R. Greenfield

TIN SHORTAGE MAY
COMPEL DNERTING
SHIPS FROM EUROPE

The United States today Is facing
the necessity OF putting ships TO car.
rying tin from Bolivia and the Eng
lish strait settlements in Asia despite
the fact that conditions in France
render the need for transatlantic ton
mage more imperative daily.
Members OF the Shipping Board
recognize the dire need for tin here
and have indicated their willingness
to turn over ships for carrying both
pig tin and tin ore
Tin and Babbitt metal are essential
in construction OF marine engines.
Delay in securing either of these
metals would carry with It a serious
menace TO the speed OF the ship
building program, which obviously
can proceed no faster than the build
ing OF marine engines.
The threat to other essential war
industries from the rapidly decreas-
ing tin supply has been laid before
the War Industries Board in the past
few days by a delegation OF manufac-
turers and tin men.
It is expected that this delegation
will take their problem to the ship
ping board.

Om.ExClusive Process Gives
TroCO It's Real Butter Flavor
Compare Troco Spith the
Best Creamery Butter

The test Of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel Us to label
it as an oleomargarine. This IS
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here favor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

Solves the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. It tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so,
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor. 4.
