An interallied bond issue has been
talked Of in banking circles recently to
take the place of the present Govern
ment war issues Of the various allied
nations. Such an issue would prove
both popular and more attractive In
some ways In the opinion of some
fnancers, but it is doubtful IL the idea
will be adopted. A banker Of the high
est Importance said such thing would
be desirable and should be done. but
SO far as he knew no step toward put
ting the suggestion in practice had been
taken.

The Aftermath.

After the war, what then?
After the gruelling test;
After we welcome back our men
To the North, East, South and West.
After the victory's won,
And day succeeds each day;
After our dreams are done,
And peace has come to stay.
After it's DER! What then?
Shall we learn from the quick the dead
That we knew alway, and again
We must lead, and never be led!
Do we seal with our young hearts blood?
Do we strike with untred blow?
Do we stop the tide at its flood
To help the nations grow?
And know not what they mean?
("My son is dead" you say;
"On him 1 used to lean
As late as sweet, last MayF)
All! yes, the aftermath; .-
We know twill surely come,
With victory that hath
Unmingled joy to some
The world will seem more fair
When peace, for it, is won;
The millennium so near
A paradise begun!
And drifting down the shores
Times wreckage will be lost;
Therell be more old scores
No counting then the cost

Tis decked with laurel-see!

"Now, then, ladies'" remarked the young man,

is not enough time left for him to
give attention TO the multitude of
large details which must be met day
in and day out. This is the belief of
all men at the Capitol, whether they
support the Overman bill as it is, or
whether they are more friendly to the
Chamberlain bill providing for a war
cabinet. The desire OF all forces ap-
pears to be to take some of the load
on the Presidents shoulders, while
still retaining in him the power to
run the war in his own way.
Senator owen is much intere sted in
the reception which will be accorded
his bill providing for the establish
ment of a Federal reserve foreign
bank. The need for such an institu-
ton is pressing, the Senator declares.
He believes that a careful study of
the situation by any calm member
will convince him OF the desirability
on enrolling this on our statute books
at an early date. Under the pro-
visions Of the owen bill the governor
of the bank would draw a $4,000 sal
ary annually while the reserve agent
would be entitled 20 a remuneration
Of $4,000 a year. While these amounts
do not Of themselves indicate the
necessity OF the legislation they in
dicate what relative importance Sem
ator owen places on the work which
he would have them do. The measure
will receive the scrutiny OF the cur
rency committee of the Senate and
Senator Owen Is ready to defend the
mea sure with all vigor.
The statement of, executive officers
that the local traction lines may not
be taken over by the government is
not final by any means. There are
several members of Congress who are
itching to sponsor measures looking
to the accomplishment of this through
as some of the other pressing prob
lens are disposed Of, principally the
railroad legislation.
These members insist that the mu-
nicipality is the correct subdivision
of government for the successful
operation Of government owned utili-
ties. They say the success of many
American cities in this respect is
enough to convince men that failure
cannot come IL any care is used in
the process-and that the chances OF
success in the operation are enor-
nous. This may be the next thing
that will be brought up with vigor in
Congress. Perhaps a few more months
Of experience on the local lines will
add to the support for this idea. The
way is open in this direction, and we
may have action sooner than we now
expect. THE OBSERVER.

Ishn's Return.

The future relations between Japan and the

of misunderstanding that had enveloped the two

The old school of diplomacy occasionally pro-

man who spurns mere parchment and secret agree
ments and the arts of the chancelleries; who can
touch the hearts of peoples, guage their pulse,
plumb their aspirations and their national spirit.
Ishii saw the true form of relations between the
two great powers of the Pacific; he saw that fun
damentaIy there real seat of antagonism
between them. He stripped the shrewd machina-
tons of German propaganda from the diplomatic
equation between Japan and America He found
in Washington no taint of imperialism aggres-
sion in the viewpoint of the American government
on Oriental questions. He brave enough
frankly to recognize the tremendous stumbling
block that China constitutes in the Far East, and
to state without reserve the Japanese special
equity in the future of that nation. He found
that this view not thrust out of court by the
sane, levelheaded moulders of American foreign
policy. Washington asked only for the mante-

privileges and for the territorial integrity of China

RECORD BROKEN FOR
CEREAL SHIPMENTS
Receipts for Last Week Ranks
Heaviest in Years.

Director of TRANSPORTATION McAdoo
announced yesterday that the ar
rival OF 22,lO4, 900 bushels Of grain
at primary markets last week broke
all shipment records OF the past
two years. In Chicago l6s per
cent increase was reported over the
previous week and So per cent over
the same period OF last 7ear.
The run OF corn was 1l,2l4.oOo
bushels, a gain of I.Ss7,009 bushels
for the week. Oats aggregated
6,es5, 900 bushels or 2,162, 900 bushels
more than the previous week" Mr.
McAdoo stated.
Grain receipts In Chicago last
week amounted 10 7.2so.o0o bushels
which marked an increase Of <.4sS.-
600 bushels over the previous week
records. Improved railroad eonoi-
tions made possible the large ship
ments,. Mr.. McA doc said.

Shipping.

This war can be won through the construction
this year by the United States and her allies OF
100000 tons of shipping. This amount viii not
only overcome the submarine losses, but will leave
the margin necessary to care for the transporta-
ton of 100000 American troops and supplies
overseas"
Ambitious program this; coming from William
Blackman, Director of Labor for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation attracts national attention.
Can the world accomplish this miracle of con-
structon-the building of 100000 tons of new
shipping before the year is out? 1t is to be
doubted The United States was roseate with
promise of 100000 tons few weeks ago; the
Shipping Board has shaved this down to approxi-
mately 3,4ooooo tons now. OF course, there is
still chance that we may surprise ourselves and
the world by speed records.
'The peak load requirement for shipyard work
win be 100000 men," says Mr.. Blackman "On
these depend the ability of other labor to OBJ
tain steady employment In other words, if a
group of shipyard workers tie up the shipyards or
fail to give full days work. not only will the
sultng stoppage tie up from fifteen to twenty other
groups of workers and throw them out of employ
ment but this stoppage will also affect the direct
employment of the 6,2oo,ooo workers as well as
the employment of the entire 100000 workers
throughout the country"
This is cean-cut statement of the case All
roads lead to the Shipping Board these days. The
war may be analysed from any angle, and uti-
mately you come out at the same door in which
you entered-tonnage Ships hold the secret of
the future and the fate of civilization If the
American people could keep their eye riveted on
the fact during 1918 they would be able to build
the 100000 tons of shipping that it has planned
to do. Americans do accomplish miracles when
they concentrate the complete resources of their
wonderful energy single problem.
Shipping is the word. Let US keep it in the sky.

I used to be curious.
But I was cured one day.
Trying to stop an electric fan.
With my index finder.
Since then I have learned.
To lead my own life.
In my own way.
Without putting my fingers.
Into the affairs OF others.
But the other day.
saw a pretty girl.
Walking on Fifth avenue.
Which runs ribbon wise.
Between rows Of great mansions
1t was the grey.
OF the late afternoon.
And the breath of winter.
Was on the trees and street.
q Al ofr
Her thoughts apparently.
As drab as the twilight.
And I thought OF her Ions quest
Perhaps for a Job.
And I saw the great windows.
OF the fine mansions.
Already ruddy with warmth.
And thought Of her cherries.
Rented room.
And l thought of the days.
When I too sought the smile.
OF friendly face.
In the city of 100000.
Perhaps in her life.
Was more Of romance.
Than Scheherazade found.
In all Bagdad.
And dropped behind her.
And followed along.
Hunting the gold of romance.
Amid the jewels of fancy.
And in a little side street.
Filled with shambling houses.
She stopped before.
A crested limousine.
Underneath which was a man.
Pounding away with a hammer.
And she peered under.
And finally called out Meadows.
And a chauffer crawled out.
Where have you been?" she snappet
"An accident, madam" he replie'
Then angrily she told him
She had waited ten minutes.
And had walked there blocks.
And would be late to tea
So I faced about.
And walked the other way.
