the middle west-Iowa and South
Dakota-subscribe their allotment
Of the fourth Liberty loan in the
first three days of the campaign.
The figures were official and it was

Sl4S.920. 900 worth of bonds with

Britain's Leaders
Back Up Words of
President Wilson

! London, Monday, Sept 3O-The
wrongs of subordinated peoples
must be righted and territories oc-
/ cupied by Germany since the be-
| ginning of the war must have com
/ plete freedom before a league OF
nations can be possible and peace
secured to the world" said Arthur
J. Balfour. British foreign secre-
tary, at the Guild hall today. He
explained President Wilson's re-
/ cent speech in New York and gave
his support to the ideas outlined
! in it.
"Bonar Law has dealt with the
| financial aspect of the struggle, "
said Mr. Balfour Let me deal
with a point of future security. The
full magnitude of all the issues be-
fore mankind is thoroughly realiZ-
ed America came into the war
fully conscious of what those issues
were and very wisely named its
great financial effort after the cause
which it had at heart, for that
cause was liberty for the world.
There is yet another cause, not
to the hearts and coDsciences of
Americans as to the hearts and
consciences of British, French and
Italians, namely, that if We failed
in this crisis not merely to win the
war but to see that such wars do
not recur, our task would be but
half accomplished.
Il am confident you all have read
President Wilson's s speech. 1t had
all those characteristics which
make his public utterances unique
in state documents. 1t had elo-
quence. directness and the magnifi-
cence of style TO which he has C
customed US. Wearisome formai-
ties were absent"
His main theme was this: That
if the world would make sure that
il is going to have peace it must
come TO some arrangement by
which malefactOrs or would-be NAL
efactors are TO be kept in order by
a league Of nations.
The second proposition was that
if YOU are TO carry out this great
ideal the only time to do il effec-
lively is the moment when peace
itself is being forged by the labors
of the victorious powers.
Personally, ! am very much OF
the presidents mind, that to allow
this occasion TO sink into the past
would be to lose one Of the greatest
opportunities given mankind per
manenfIy to put International rela-
tions upon a sound. lasting and
moral footing, and If the work for
YOUR rev international machinery
for securing peace is nor 10 be
ereater than il can perform. you
must so arrange the map or Europe
and the world that great occasion
for was will not overwhefm ypu

The wedge driven in between
the fortress of Lille and the Ger
man submarine bases on the Bel
gian coast is being widened rapid
ly. The Belgians are encircling
RouIers on the railway line from
Lille to the submarine bases of Os-
tend and Zeebrugge. Further
south the British menace Menin, a
junction point on the same rail-
road and are along the Lys river
west of Menin for a distance of five
miles.
The forces under King Albert OF
Belgium are on open ground and
are overcoming heavy counter at
tacks by the enemy. 1t would seem
that the railroads forming and
within the triangle of Lille, Ghent
and Bruges would soon be lost by
the Germans, bringing about the
evacuation of Ostend and Zee
brugge.

WHERE BITES ARE TREATED
Mission Dispensaries Cure Many Afri-
cans Who Sustain All Manner of
Dangerous Injuries.

Africans go to the mission dispen-
saries to be cured of bites from all
kinds of animals, and n large num-
her of them are cured. The common
est bites are from snakes, say writer
in World Outlook. In Inhambane are
IS to 20 varieties of poisonous snakes,
some very deadly, whose bites mean Il
fight for life. Hyenas kill or carry
off hundreds of children each year,
and most of those who are rescued
have terrible scalp wounds, as the
hyena carries child by the head.
Other biting pests of The region are
lions. from whom few escape alive |;
scorpions, very poisonous and fond of
getting into beds; hypO flies, large
flies that in biting take huge pieces of
flesh and cause great .swellings {;
sharks, of which the bay is full.
But the most common, bite and
seemingly the hardest to heal, is the
human bit. The Africans when they
get angry use their teeth to good ad-
vantage There is scarcely morn
ing that several do not come to the
dispensary. One boy had his lower
lip bit off, and for him new lip
was made.

PRELIMINARY CAMPAIGN
Eighth District Bankers Absorb First
Offering of Certificates OF
indebtedness.

Bankers throughout the Eighth Fed
eral Reserve District are entering
heartily in the Governments plan to
dispose of the $750,000.000 United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness.
The quota for the st. Louis District
is $50, 000, 900, issued June 25. Similar
offerings % ene certificates, not to ex-
coed eight issues, will be made every
two weeks until the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign. Then these short
term certificates, maturing October
"a, may be turned in for the long-term
Liberty Bonds.

at each offering. the money goes into
the hands of the Government, 1t is

BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
n previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June 25, when the
first series of $750,0OO,00O of United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body of men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere.
They make a deep study of finance.
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies in financing
the war, and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp of approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government to avoid repetition of the
mistakes.
This plan of Certificates Of Indebt-
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall.
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country of great strain it would
experience if the certificate plan had
not been adopted.
