TO Failure Now!

Speakers at the Liberty Hut meet
ing last night il the interest of the
united war fund made an urgent ap-
peal for the maintenance of the Dis
triet's splendid record in war giving.
La Red Cross contributions, in liberty
loan purchases, in war savings stamps,
IL every ons Of the war time financial
enterprises the District has held
most honorable position. The question
it faces today IS whether it will fall
from that place through failure now
to reach its quota of 100000 for the
maintenance Of the seven organize
tons.
It should require no argument to
show the need of continued activity by
all these organizations, even though
the terms of armistice have been
signed Armistice does not necessarily
mean peace. but if it should the Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors viii be needed
in France, Belgium. Germany, possibly
Russia, and on the waters for many
months to come Even with immedi7
ate rehabilitation and transport west
ward of all the men now in arms the
process would cover many months, at
) best the greater part Of a year.
There must be unremitting service
for the comfort and moral and physi-
cal sustenance Of these men until they
are all returned to their homes. This
is really the dangerous time of the
war as far as the morale of the men
in the service is concerned. If they
are neglected now they will grow
ho,nesick and disheartened and dis
eontented. Just at present they are
exalted by q feeling Of victory, but
that inspiration vii pass, and as they
wait during the dreary months of po-
lice duty and transport service and
frontier guarding they will need as
never before the stimulation of home
thoughtfulness and home attentions
such as these seven organizations can
give them If they are properly sup
ported.
At latest accounts Washington's con-
tribntion was nearly half a million
dollars short Of the quota A little
moro than one day remains to put
Washington over the top for this fund,

ously and patriotically on al the other

ONE YEAR OF WAR
FINDS AMERICA
ALLIES BANKER
Federal Reserve System Aids
Country in Absorbing Finan-
cia| Shock k.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-One
year of war finds America the bank
er of the allies.
In IL months the American people
have poured 100000 200 into the
allied pool. OF this, nearly half has
gone in outright loans to the various
allies. The international ledger bal
anced UP about this way on Apri 6:
Indebtedness to the United States:
Great Britain, $2,72o,ooo,ooO; France,
$1,440, 0,000,000; Italy, $55O,000, 900;
Russia, $325,O0o,oo0; Belgium, $685.
100000 and Serbia, $6,00O,OO0.
To raise this stupendous outlay the
United States floated two immense
Liberty loans, yielding we'll over &c.
000,000,000; and imposed special war
taxes, chief among which was rails
ing the postal rate from to cents
The close Of this strenuous year finds
the country we'll launched on a war
savings movement which promises a
large steady income; and marks the
opening Of a third great Liberty loan.
Funds Still Available.
Throughout the extraordinary
money drain, every effort has been
exerted to prevent disruption Of the
finance market. The solid basis af-
forded by the recently created federal
reserve banking system is admitted
by financial men to have been chiefly
responsible for the country's remark
able success in absorbing the shock.
While. the unprecedented flotation
of securities has reacted i'm the nor
NAL way to produce a general intla-
ton of prices, there has been no panic.
no extended stringency, and big funds
of investible money are still avail
able.
The treasury, by a policy of recur-
rent issues of short-time certificates,
has kept money flowing freely, and
prepared the way for absorption of
the longtime loans.
Protect Nearly All.
More than $2,50O,OOO,OO0 of these
short-period treasury certificates were
issued and retired, or converted into
Liberty bonds.
Early upon the nations entrance
in the war, the need for soldier and
sailor insurance became apparent
The government, despite pressure Of
war financing, at once undertook the
work, and evolved a system of war
risk insurance which has brought
protection to the families Of >93 per
cent of all men in the armed services
of the nation, at an average of $1,000
per man.
Russia's credit Of $325,000,000 was
never entirely taken up. When the

had drawn $4,000, 900 of the credit.
The rest was being spent for. supplies
in this country: which never left
American Shores, and which have
since been taken over by this govern
ment.

BODY TO SETTLE:
LABOR DISPUTES
ON ROADS PICKED
Railway Board Organizes And
Begins Work on Pending
Controversies,

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Mem-
bers of the railroad administrations
board of adjustment No. 1, which will
pass on disputes over rules of con-
tracts and employment conditions
arising between railroad arrangements
and the four leading brotherhoods,
have been announced. The board met
here Monday to organize and proceed
ed Immediately to consider a number
of pending disputes.
The board will consist Of four rep
resentatives of railway arrangements
and four officers of the brotherhoods.
They are as follows: E. T. Walker,
assistant general manager of the
Pennsylvania lines west; John G.. Wal
ker, secretary of the bureau of in
formation of eastern railways; J. w.
Higgins, executive secretary of the
Association of Western Railways: DR..
G. p. Neil, manager Of the infOrma-
ton bureau of southea stern railways;
L. S. Sheppard, Vice-president of the
conductors brotherhood; F. A. Bur-
CESS, assistant chief of the engineers;
Albert Phillips, vice-president of the
tiremen, and w. N. Doak, vice-presi-
dent of the trainmen.
The representatives of the manage
ments were appointed by the three
regional directors of the railroad ad-
ministration, and the chief of each
brotherhood named his representative.
Walker, Higgins, Neill and Sheppard
were members of the old commission
of eight which settled disputes un-
der the Adamson act. This commits
sion has gone out of existence and
its functions are assumed by the new
adjustment board.
To Fix Hours and Wages.
The boards decisions will be final
except in case of tie vote, when
w. S. Carter, labor director for the
railroad administration, will decide
an issue. Wage questions will not
be considered directly by the board,
although matters of pay are neces-
sarily wrapped up in many disputes
over hours or conditions of employ
ment.
Director McAdoo still reserves the
right to fix wages and hours of labor,
and the only questions to reach the
board will be on disputes which can
not be settled between the labor or
ganization's chief and the general
manager of a railroad.
Similar boards probably will be
created later for other branches of
railway employees.

about the same as for February, ac-
