If YOU lend your money to the Gov
eminent, you may be quite sure that
it is going to be used for some national
purpose-to prosecute the war success
fully, to care for, equip, arm, and sup
ply our soldiers in France, to be used
BY our Navy in Kidding the seas of the
murderous L boats.
But if you spend your money even
with the belief that by putting it into
the channels of trade others into whose
hands it comes will lend ii to the Gov
eminent, YOU will have done something
hle patriotism of which may be very
questionable.
First, YOU have withdrawn from the
supply of material of the Notian some-
thing fireplace which in the market
will REQUIRE labor and material which
should be devoted to war purposes.
Second, the person to whom you pay
your money may also use it TO purchase
things requiring material AMI labor
which should be devoted to war pur-
poses. And the person to whom he pays

But when you lend your money 70

YOU will at once lessen the DARN to
certain extent on our country's re-
sources, its material, its labor. and its

MUCH TRADE WITH ICELAND WAS DONE
 BY THE GERMANS

LONDON, Aug. 13.-A great deal of trade was done between Iceland and Germany and Austria, earlier in the war, in the opinion of the At. torney General, expressed during the hearing of case in the Prize Court. This contraband trade was upon an enormous scale and very difficult to detect, he declared. He gave one illustration, between October and De- cember, 1914, the entire output of 100000 wool skins was exported to Germany and Austria via Denmark.
 Although the British Government knew this was going on it had not been possible to detect it, owing to the territorial nature of the voyage until they had been able to get evi- dence by means of intercepted mes sages. Fortunes had been made in England. Voyages were usually sec ret and by unusual courses designed to avoid the British Navy, while doc uments were made out to conceal the true nature of the transaction.

SALVAGE WORK DIVER VICTIMS
 ON BIG SCALE
The Work of Recovering Vessels from the Deep Has Become Very
 Important.

LONDON, Aug 13.-Not all the ships which German torpedoes and marine collisions send to the bottom of the sea stay there. In less than three years more than 400 sunken merchant vessels have been restored to service. And more than one ship has. been raised, repaired, sent forth on new career, and then sunk and raised a new for third lease on life.
 This rescue work is done by the salvage section of the British navy Before the war no one though of at tempting to save such wrecks as are now brought up from the depths, but ships now are priceless The finan- cial value of the salvage work is enormous. The cargoes salved are themselves worth many millions of dollars
 Recently big American tanker collided on dark night in the English Channel with sturdy Brit ish standard ship carrying oil. There was an explosion of benZine, and both vessels were quickly swept by flames. Of the crew of the British ship only eight men, who jumped overheard, were saved.
 Salvage work on both ships be- gan with the arrival of tugs, after overcoming many difficulties, man. aged to tow them close in shore There it was necessary to sink them by gunfire. They are now being brought to the surface, long, ar duous task
 The tanker, a fine vessel some 500 feet long and new-built, had on board 16,000 tons of oil and, though she blazed for four days, half of the cargo was salved.. When thoroughly repaired, the tanker will be returned to the United States, not much worse for wear, the damage being esti- mated at s750, ,000-a small amount in marine figuring in these days
 when persons think in millions. l
