LOAN SUCCESS ASSURED

1t is hard to see how anything could be done which would
make the success of the coming loan more certain than Mr..
McAdoos proposal to exempt Liberty bonds from taxation up
to $4,000. Not only will such a move, if enacted into law,
guarantee the success of the coming loan, but it will prove an
excellent stabiiZer for the market values of the second and
third series. The last mentioned result is already apparent
The fact is that our increasing income taxes are becom-
ing matters of serious concern to many men and corporations
who hitherto have not minded paying them. A means OF aid
ing the nation and at the same time securing a reasonable
amount of taX-free securities will appeal strongly to a sur
prisingly large number of people if congress can see the mat
ter as Mr.. McAdOO does.
The announcement by the railroad administration that it
will receive Liberty bonds in lieu of personal or corporate
.sureties for the payment of freight bills may not meet with
the approval of the companies which make a business of writ
ing this class of surety bonds, but it nevertheless appears to
be sound in principle. Every American corporation is buying
Liberty bonds as part of the work of winning the war and the
railroad administration announcement shows a good use for a
considerable quantity of them. Thus is an opportunity Offer
ed for saving what would otherwise be part of an overhead
expense, for providing a splendid corporation reserve, and
for doing a patriotic act. The bonds are to be deposited with
the treasurer of the railroad company, who will arrange for
their safekeeping and will deach all coupons when due and
pay them to the owners.

COTTON AND WARS CHANGES

New York Commercial: Among the many changes which
the necessities of war have brought to American business, the
new methods of buying, warehousing and shipping cotton
ire among the most revolutionary. Heretofore, cotton has
been the most important article of rail shipment from the
south to the big consuming centers. The orders issued by
the Encouragement of railroads, who also controls all coast
wise shipping lines, have transferred the bulk of cotton ship
ments from rail to water routes. The tremendous strain put
by this change on the coastwise steamship lines, and the dis
organization which the sporadic submarine attacks have
caused, have resulted in a great strain on the water lines.
Cotton is congested at many southern ports, especially in
Texas, which now produces about half the total crop, Gal
weston has more cotton than its facilities are able to care for
and the result has been the bringing of prosperity to a port
hitherto almost unheard of. This is Texas City, where more
than 100000 bales of the 1913 crop will be sent for shipment
to the north. 1t is exactly 10 years ago that the first work
wa done to make this port capable of handling important
shipments. In that year, Senator Burton, then head of the
senate rivers and harbors committee, secured an appropria-
ton for the development of gulf waters leading to Texas City.
He was numerically criticized for it by various periodicals
and interests. which claimed that the money was a disgrace
FIJI waste of public funds.
Time has indicated Senator Burton, and it is interesting
to note in this connection that every southern interest is now
anxious to enlist the senator's advice and assistance in
whatever important matter it attempts. Texas City does not
mean much to the average ear, but many a New England mill
man will be relieved next winter when he gets cotton that
could not have been shipped except by way of the new port.
Much the same is true regarding the financing Of cotton.
market quotation, the ordinary methods of credit fail to meet
the situation. No dealer in commercial paper and no banker
can afford to assume the risk Of carrying 35 per cent cotton
except with an exceedingly liberal margin. A margin of
three times the actual price of cotton four years ago would
not be excessive. No multiplication of discount companies or
admonihons to use trade acceptances can minimize the diff
culties now facing the cotton growers and manufacturers.
The price of cotton has reached a point where all signs fail
and if the growers fail to market their crop so gradually that
the money market will not be strained it is hard to see how
the bankers of the country can assist them.

I'VE have been ready for a year to give up the st. Mihiel
salient" said the kaiser, and the world for once agrees with
his utterance, having observed for many years that any burg
lar is willing to give up anything he cannot carry off.
Had the crown prince or the able generals whose credit
he steals been able, however, to sweep past Verdun, the kais-
err would long ago have "Germanized" st. Mihiel as thorough
ly as he has "Germanized' Antwerp and Louvain.
And even while the kaiser was protesting, in his latest
peace offensive, that Germany did not want France, Belgium
or indemnities, the kaiser's men, in their thorough German
way, carried off all the able-bodied males in their retreat be-
fore Pershings victorious army.
1t is this utter inability to observe the smallest decenies
that reveals the German character unchanged from the day of
the "scrap of paper protest, and from the day the Lusitania
medals were struck off in readiness to commemorate the
murder of the women and children on that ship.
Peace with Germany will come when the German nation,
like its weakening soldiers, grovels on its knees and cries
"Kamerad.' and an another "uncOnditOnal surrender" will be
written down in history.
The German is not yet broken. The allies do not expect
to end the war before next year. Our casualties have been
large and will be larger. Our sacrifices have been great and
must be greater. Victory will be won one step at a time.
The next step toward victory, and the one whose success
depends, not upon our army, but upon civilian America, is
the Fourth Liberty loan. Whether the call is for six or eight
billion dollars. it must be met promptly for the glory of the
United States and the inspiring of our men abroad.

SHOULD THE NORTH SEA BE CLOSED ?


In spite of the measures which the allied and American
governments have been able to take to curb the destructive
power of the submarine, sinkings are still going on at the
rate of 100000 tons a year. Now comes a British authority
with the assertion that if the North sea were to be closed to
all shipping except that directly under the control of Ger
manys enemies, a large proportion of these losses could be
prevented. This statement is certainly deserving of careful
investigation and of action if it is found to be correct
The only difficulty which would be encountered in put
ting such a scheme into operation would be the four small
neutrals whose territorial waters abut on the North sea. In
asmuch as America and the allies have now entered into "a
tioning agreements with three of these nations and the fourth
Is entirely DEF cnient upon constant supplies Of foodstuffs
from the United Slates for existence, there would seem to be
no insurmountable difficulty in putting this plan into opera
ton. Germany has now got to a point in repeated violations of
everything heretofore construed as international law to such
an extent that the forces of civilization ought no longer hest
tate to take any necessary measures to curb this form of mod
ern piracy.
We know, whether the neutrals concerned can see it or
not, that we are fighting their battle against a ruthless power
that would enslave them all if it could. Without a long wait
for diplomatic palavering such as has characterized several
of the other questions we have discussed with small neutrals,
we ought to act and act quickly if our naval authorities think
would seem that any measure reasonably sure to cripple the
further depredations of submarines would be well worth try
ing.

ON THE THRESHOLD OF A GREAT TEST

America stands on the threshold of a great adventure
and a great test.
Adventure abroad, where our army is poised for a plunge
INTO territory long held as German soil, a plunge through
what must be the flower of Germanys troops if the kaiser is
not at once to concede defeat.
A scorching test abroad, since our First American army,
released from the tutelege of French and British war experts,
must pit its own newly acquired skill against the Boche past
masters.
Glorying in the valor revealed at Cantigny and Chateau
Thierry, secure in the strength of the millions of other Amer
leans hurrying to the battle front, our army as impatien1y
and confidently awaits the issue.
America at home faces as great a challenge in the Fourth
Liberty loan, and as great a test.
The huge size of the loan, whether for six or eight billion
dollars, it outstrips all precedent, thrills our Imagination and
rouses us to our most extreme efforts that it may be put.

in less time.
The loan is not a large one when the huge resources of
the United States $250,OOOOO0OOO, are considered. The over

LABOR'S P~ROFITEERING

The war policy of the war labor board has given a STRAIT
egc advantage to labor all over the country, says the New
York Commercial. Much has been heard of profneering by
capital, but nothing about profiteering by organized labor.
Nothing has been said, for instance, about the surreptitiOus
organizing OF the employees of corporations which have had
their hands tied by the constitution" adopted for the duration
of the war. These employers are forced to submit to a pol
icy which threatens their existence after the war. The atti-
tude of the administration offers small comfort.
Does America propose to replace a plutOcracy of capital
with an oigarchy of labor leaders? Organized labor has no
program of social Justice 1t is out to get what there is to
be gotten, and has suspicion of altruism in its ranks.
Selishness in itself is not unhuman. But when a band
of men representing a majority of the workers of this coun-
try undertake to advance their personal interests, in the midst
of a national emergency, even if under the mask of prog
ress," it is time to call a halt. The men who guided us to
the present state of development may have been actuated
largely by selfish motives. but they shared what they achiev-
ed with the country.
If it were "a matter of selfishness between capital and Ia
Dor the rest of us might be disposed to stand off and watch
the fight without prejudice, but it is not a fight between labor
and capital. No tears would be shed by the majority if labor
forced capital to make a concession that did not hurt the rest
of us. But what are we to do when labor takes up the very
weapons we have forced capital to lay down and begins an
attack on the whole body polite? Are we going to submit as
an laid to the warp" What hen after the war is over?
That provision in the war labor constitution which per-
mHs labor organizations to work unhampered during the war
should be repealed or the weapons with which employers met
such problems in the past should be restored. The repeal of
that provision would be in the interest of all the people, and
not in the interest of the employers alone. We do not know
yet what we want to do after the wal in re-constitutng the
country, and we do not want to be handicapped by the power
of a selfish labor Oigarchy when we come to resume our ma
tional life. The obligation of labor to fight the war without
brides is no less binding than is the obligation of any other
class.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

No more pleasant surprise could have been prepared the
appetite of America and her allies, sharpened to the taste of
victory by the recent tremendous successes in France than
the news that American man power was substantially in ex-
cess of estimates.
Where a registration of l2,SOOO0O men had been prepared
for under the new 1S-to-5 regulations, preliminary returns
indicated that "A, 100000 men had added themselves potentially
to the American Army.
army in Europe must cease in the face of these returns. The
German camoufage of utter disregard for Americas ..un-
trained" forces in the field lasted but a short time, and de-
.ceived few of the kaisers credulOus subjects while it lasted.
The untamable courage of the American, revealed at a
score of places after Cantigny and Chateau Thierry. made it
easily understandable why Ludendorff should fall back to the
Hndenburg line. The enormous reservoir of waiting fight
es from which Foch can draw gives the German general staff
good grounds to worry as to whether the retreat can be halt
ed at the Rhine.
Another factor just as depressing to German morale is
the threat of Americas ineXhaustible financial resources.
The feat of the United States in raising another six or eight
billions for war purposes in the three weeks between Septem-
Der % and October 10 will so far surpass anything Germany
mind more a bad dream than a stern reality.
The Fourth Liberty loan will be raised in three weeks.
whether Secretary McAdoos call is for six or eight billion
dollars. The fighting temper of the United States guaran-
tees that, setting aside consideration of the fact that civilian
America would not dare, to preserve its self-respect, to fail to
back up its fighting sons abroad.
The only questions are: In how much less time than
three weeks can the allotted sum be raised. and how much of
an oversubscription can be raised. Buy every dollars worth
you can.

New York Commercial: Foreign exchange, that barome-
ter of wars ups and downs which pays no attention to any
thing save hard facts, is beginning to point to the beginning
of the end. AS Foch's armies have continued to strike and
the perilous situation of Germany, both from military and
economic viewpoints, is seen, the neutrals begin to hedge for
safety; to "climb on the band wagon" in the phrase of the
street. Climbing on the band wagon is likely to be a more
and more popular pastime from now on until the final de-
struction of Teutonic military power. The best example up
to date of the manner in which allied victories have injected
backbone into formerly doubtful neutrals is the case of Spain
where the government has mustered up enough courage TO
st taking and start acting on the tonnage problem.

New York Commercial: Now that the air mail service
between Chicago and New York, approximately a thousand
miles apart, is an actuality, all that remains to be done is to
work out plans for a transatlantic service. That such a
service is only a matter of time is a foregone conclusion.
When the losses and gains of this great war are footed up, not
the least important will be the remarkable development it has
given mans mastery of the air.
