Washington, ip.n 15.

"Kaisersm must go down before the
righteousness and outrn sed democracy
Of the world" declared Mrs. Charles
Thachcr Guernsey, president general of
the Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton, in opening the twcnty-seventh an
nual meeting today i'm Continental Me-
mortal Hail. Nothing seems to be ahso-
lutely certain except this-right shall
surely triumph and peace shall come
only TO men of good WILL" she continued
The big assemblage Of prominent
women from all sections of the country
widely applauded the sentiment eN-
pressed by the president general as she
pledged the loyalty and unstnted sup
port Of the d. y. r. to the Government
We are living in a great and awful
time said Mrs. Guernsey we are
staggered when we contemplate what
is involved in this tremendous struggle.
And yet we are glad to have some part
IN so magnificent an enterprise as now
engages the liDerty-longing people of the
whole world. Whatever may be the
changing, shifting scenes of today. we
are sure that on some future morrow
the great cause for which we are fight
ing shall permanently triumph
There Is a most insdious propaganda
, among us today against which we should
be on our guard. We have many citizens
who have such a hatred for England
| that they seem willing to aid the enemy
OF the United states if only they can
deal Britain blow. They do not love
| Germany more, but hate England most.
But we will not be deceived by them.
Any one who is Englands enemy is now
our enemy We understand them.
They were glad when disloyal Irish-
men struck England a blow when Eng
land was fighting Germany. Loyal
Americans know full well why fhe
American Colonists rebelled against the
mother country. The heart of old Eng

INDIANS WALK BETTER
THAN ARMY'S, S.SAID
Normal Gait of Parallel Feet
Favored by Professor
Richardson

When it comes to feet, civilized man
has thing or two to learn from the
dog-eating Igorrote or the pigeon-toed
American Indian, says Prof. l.. J.
Richardson in a bulletin entitled, THE
Soldier on Foot and just issued by the
University of California.
Becoming patron of the long-abused
pigeon-toed man, Professor Richardson
says that the normal gait of man is
eXcmplfied by the American Indian, who
walks with his feet set parallel or even
with the toes turned slightly inward. In
this way all the toes function and the
lifting and propelling power of the foot
is at its maximum, he says.
While deploring the army regulations
requiring a soldier to stand with his
toes turned out at an angle Of about 40
degrees, because of the tendency to
cause evcrsion of the foot and weakness
in the posterior arch, Professor Richard
son is sufficiently optimistic for civilized
man to conclude that in spite of his in
herited and acquired bad habits, he can
reform and learn to walk" with fair
results.
Walking in tight shoes generation
after generation is the cause of nearly
all the foot troubles of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition, he
says, has left but single strong toe
on either foot the others being in some
measure atrophied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
high to low heeled shoes are suggested
as means of obviating much foot
trouble.

MANY FINANCE PLEAS
GET FEDERAL APPROVAL
Capital Issues Committee to Con-
tinue Work of Passing on Applica-
tions Of Corporations for Expansion

In answer to questions raised in
several quarters concerning the work OF
the capital issues committee of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, Richard l.. Austin,
chairman of the Subcommittee on capital
issues of the, Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia, made il clear today that,
pending the appointment by the president
of the new committee, the work of the
old committee would proceed on the
same lines as heretofore and that appli-
cations for the issue of securities should
be addressed to it.
The Chicago stock exchange has sent
to the committee a copy of its resolution
as follows:
Resolved, that. the committee on
stock list will require as a condition to
the listing of any new capital issues, the
presentation of the approval G the
capital Issues committee of the Federal
Reserve Board"
During the week just passed the COM
mittee disposed of tWenty-eight applica-
tions, aggregating S5i,936,OOO or when
$4,000, 600 We're disapproved the S03'-
SS7 900 approved, included SIGl,OOO OF
reCunding obligations, so that the new
issues approved aggregated S33,O2j,OVo.
New issues for the corresponding peIiod
last year amounted to $lSS,9iO,OOO. Inc
increase of this year over last year Is
readily accounted for by the approval
this week of single issue OF S-O'ooV'VVo
of common stock.
While the total issues approved is
large, II Is pointed out that such ap-
prevails have been given with the uhueF-
Standing that no Offering of securities

one Of the. surgeons inquired why il
was absolutely necessary TO kill then,
The sailor replied, with feverishly glow

"Otherwse we shall never be on tbo

and kind; owing to their better edIIca-
tion they are different from us. They
