GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Wall Street read peace" on the stock
ticker in yesterdays market and by It's
vigorous discrimination between the war
stocks and the peace shares indicated
that 1t was convinced the enemy nations
were on the verge of accepting the Allies
terms of unconditional surrender. This
was the most important feature OF the
days operations and the professional
element turned Its attention to the
stocks that twere moving up and, tenn
porarily at least, abandoned attempts
to make a turn on the short side. The
lifting Of this pressure on the war stocks
showed in the better prices for these is-
sues, but the Streets chief interest was
in the oils and the railroad securities
The buying of railroad stocks was
plainly on the peace idea and the sharp
gains made by the leading issues clearly
reflected the financial community's feel
ing that the end Is in sight

all ships Will be compelled to use oil.
The reason for this Is that the big
coal mines in northern France have been
destroyed by the Germans, and 1t will
take years to put them in working order
again. In addition the wonderful oil
fields Of Rumania and Russia have been
SO badly damaged by the Germans that
the supplies from these fields win not
be anywhere near sufficient to meet the
demand abroad. This puts the Mexican
oil fields in first place. and when the
European war ends this country will be
we'll able to clean UP the Mexican situa-
ton. An additional point Is that the
enormous taxes which the Mexican Pc
troleum Company has reserved to meet
the Mexican Governments levies may
never have to be paid, which would inn
mensely improve the company's financial
position.

pany has taken very little war work,
even since this country became a bellig-
erent. Earnings for the current year
are now running ahead Of the year ended
December 81. 1917. when s32.63 was

Banks to Charge Only 41-4 p. c.

Although no public announcement has
yet been made. it is said in banking cir
cles that all banks and trust companies
have advised their customers that they
will carry the Fourth Liberty Loan at
AZ per cent for one year. So far as
the general public knows the A.. per
cent. rate Is only good FOR the ninety
day period specified by the banks. and 1t
would probably stimulate subscriptions
IL 1t were widely advertised that the
same rate would apply for year.

Whatever

"W the people loon't
buy bonds, they piH pay
taxes, that's all there is
to 1t. We are going to
Uin this War, whaterer
it COSTS"
That's what the Speaker
of the House of Representa-
tives said a few weeks ago.
It's the whole story--in
s5 words. Read it again.
I'VE are going to win,
whatever it costs.
No doubt of that. All
America says that. America
never fails to win-what-
ever it costs.
IF the people won't buy
bonds, they will pay taxes"
No doubt of that. Bonds
or Taxes? The less Bonds,
the more Taxes. The more
Bonds, the less Taxes. That
is simple arithmetic.
Bonds and Soldiers march
together. The more Mil
lions of Soldiers we send, the
more Billions of Bonds must
back them up. !
Victory needs three times
as much money as the years
Taxes can produce. That
means Bonds-and more
Bonds.
Germany fears our Bill

our Millions of Men.
Germany's money is run

grow more rickety every day
They spell German Bank
ruptcy.
But Americas money is
a rising tide. Liberty
Bonds are sound and sure.
They spell VICTORY for
our Army, and Prosperity

CENSOR SCIENCE news IS AS FATAL AS WAR
tuberculosis Kills as Many as
Fall From Bullets.
Dr.. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.

New York.-Mortality from tuber-
culosis among the civilian population
and in the armies of all the countries
engaged in the war has at least ap-
proXimated the total number of sol
diers killed in battle, according to DIR.
Livingstone Farrand, director of the
American commission for the preven-
tiOn of tuberculosis in France.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against tuberculosis with the same
zeal with which they have hurled
themselves against the Hun is the bur-
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rand on the eve of his return to
France.
ITO make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy" is the
slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
OF the men called to the e0lors by
the first draft $4,000 We're found to be
tubercular, This is one of the striking
indications of the prevalence of the
disease,
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fere, rather than produced these conGi-
ti0ns, it is also true that in indirect
ways it has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem in the European
countries involved" says Doctor Far
rand.
Il refer not to the situation in the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con-
d. =! which affect the civilian popu.
latiOn."
Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating. among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri-
ton, are given as contributing causes.
A nationwide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision for
rejected and discharged soldiers suf-
fering from it is planned through 1,500
local societies of the National Tuber-
"nlOsiS association.

reduction. In Europe the present ra-
ton is already reduced to minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in it's efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the AL
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account Of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half ;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef-
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER ADVER-
/. TISING.

The value Of cooperation is seen
IN the team work Of the allied armies.

summation, says the state marketing
bureau, can only be secured by the
cooperation of farmers, mechanics,
merchants, doctors, lawyers, bankers,
everybody. Each can do his share by
assisting his neighboT with his patron
age, and by giving every worthy
enterprise his unqualified support.
Travellers and home seekers very
often judge town by the appearance
Of its newspaper If it contains ad-
vcrtisements showing all forms Of

ity is made up Of enterprising men,
and gives to those seeking a location
a good opinion of the various inter-
:ests represented, 1t speaks the fact
Ut the business and professional
men believe in their town and say so.
Some of the Florida towns are send
ing sample papers 70 tha north. When
well filled with advertisements and
church, school and factory and farm

Florida has many fine papers, and
distant readers cannot be other than
impressed that the people they rep
resent are of one mind in the matter
of clean and tree lined streets, pretty
homes, well-conducted churches and
schools, and beautiful surroundings.
There is no town, however small, but
can be impl owed by the associated eff
forts of its residents.
No town can become important if
It's citizens refuse to impart an inter-
est to its affairs or fail to feel a sense
OF pride in what it possesses. Local

Popular Articles DivuIge Secrets
to the Foe.
Even French Academy of Sciences In
nocently Gives Facts Useful
to Enemy.

Paris.-IIow popular science dis
cuSsed in the daily and magazine press
conveys information to the enemy and
how even great national institutions
like the French academy of sciences
sometimes innOcently divulge secrets
which the enemy finds useful is told
by I. ..riter in La Liberte, who protests
againSl the indiScriminate propagation
of technical information. The writer
comments on the fact that the acad-
emy of sciences has suggested that the
censorship be rendered more effective
by the addition of few savants who
will be able to recognize valuable sci
entific information when they see it.
In the view of the academy the
press has been allowed, more by neg
tigence than ignorance, to print much
scientific Information the Importance
Of which escaped the editors and
which should have been kept secret.
The columns of matter relating to the
German long-range gun form a case
in point. M. Charles lie GOffic, a sci
entific writer of note, writing on this
subject, says that the press has in
dulged in veritable orgy of details
concerning the experiments in prog
cess in France to extend the range of
the heavy artillery. Plans of shells
and guns, he alleges, have even been

HAS CONTRACT FOR 4 BARGEs
Kendrick on His Way Home, Satisfied
With the Situati n.
(Tampa Times)

In a telegram to Mayor Mckay this
morning, Harvey Kendrick, who has
been in Washington ard Philadelphia
working with the U. S. Shipping
board for contracts to build barges in
this city, said he had contract for
four barges and was on his way to
this city with the expectation of stop
ping off at Savannah on the way.
Both Mr.. Mckay and C. F. Aulick,
who is among those who will be in
terested with Mr.. Kendrick in the
carrying out of the contract, take the
telegram to mean that Mr.. Kendrick
has been given satisfactory assuranc-
es that the firm will be given other
contracts. The gentlemen who expect
to build the barges felt that four
barges would not be enough to give
them assurances of profit to warrant
building up a plant and going into the
game. 1t has been the experience of
others, so it is said, that four of the
boats won d just about enable them to
build up plant without loss. Any
chance Of profit would have to await
the contingency Of future contracts.
Since they did not wish to chance
he prospect of a loss they had once
givon up The idea of accepting the
four contracts as told in The Times a
few days ago. The committee of
twenty-five got busy on the matter
at that time and urged Sen. Fletcher
to do what he could to see that other
contracts were given. The telegram
from Mr.. Kendrick is taken by we'll
informed local people to mcan th2t
Mr.. Kendrick feels that ether CON
tracts viii come along all right at the
proper time, even if they are not now
i in hand. If this is not the case ther
! it IS assumed that perhaps the ship
ping board, assurd by M. Kendr ck'
backing that he is perfectly rciiab'
will extend some aid or make so9(
concessions in the matter of putting
in ways and that this assurance i
such as to make him feel safe in 90
ing ahead.
Tha eight bargos were estimated tc
mean a cost to the Govornm n G.
about 100000. so that it may b
seen the contract means considera
bic add'tiop to the city's sh;pbu ,ldina

With the American Army in France.
Turning "Heinie's" own machine
guns back on him is the newest and
favorite stunt in a certain American
outfit.
The boys just stumbled onto this
sport, and they like it.
Recently in raids the boys brought
back some German machine guns, after
driving the Germans away from their
own strongholds.
"Why not use these German guns
on the Heinies?" one thinking dough-
boy asked his pals.
you're crazy; we haven't any am-
munition that'll fit them"
"Why can't we go over and get
some?" replied the thinker.
"Never thought of that" replied the
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty Of
ammunition and mother German ma
chine gun. Next day the guns were
playing on the "Heinies."
They're darned good machine
guns" said one chap enthusiastically,
"but the Heinies don't know how to
use them. We do, though. We're get
ting little low on ammunition. Guess
We'll have to run over to Germany to-
night and make 'em hand out some
more"

mons of North Carolina, Senator Martin
of Virginia and Senator Shields Of Ten
nessee, are all Democratic candidates
for reelection, and each and all OF them
as did Senator Baird, refused to sup
port the Woman's Suffrage amendment,
but President Wilson makes no excep-
ton in his blanket appeal bat asks for
their reelection and has sent letter to
their states demanding their defeat as
he did in the case of Senator Baird.
Up in our sister state Of Idaho, the
Nonpartisan League has captured the
Democratic nominations for Congress5
but the President makes no exception i'm
his blanket appeal in their case, notwith-
standing the fact that many representa-
tives of the Nonpartisan League Of Ida
no have been arrested for REASONABLE
and seditious utterances against the gov
eminent. On the other hand it is stated
that Fred T. Dubois, app0intee Of the
President in the War department, draw
ing salary Of $500 year, has been
given vacation, and is spending that
vacation aiding and assisting the lection
of the Nonpartisan Democratic ticket in
the State Of Idaho.
i All Of which would lead one to the con-
clusion that it Is not loyalty and devo-
ton to the public interests and to the
nation that Mr.. Wilson desires most, but
it is perfectly clear from his record that
what he desires first is q Democratic
congress, and Eeond, one that win do his
bidding.
It is not question Of whether or not
Utah will "fail the President" the Presi-
dent has failed Utah. It is the question
whether or not Utah will be true to her
self, to the Constitution, and stand for
the rights of American citizenship. AS

ITO thy ownself be true, and it follows
as the night the day that thou canst not
then be false to any man."

ONLY WAY TO ASSURE A MARKET

Secretary's Lanes plan to give farms
ITO the soldiers after the war is good en-
Dugh as far as it goes; that is, so far as
may be seen at this stage of proceedings,
but we suppose neither he nor any of the
other advocates of that plan imagine it to
be any approach to the solution of the.
problems that these soldiers will have e.
meet when they break ranks. In the
first place, not every man is born to be
farmer, and even if he were, and if ev-
cry soldier might have farm, and might
take to that kind of life, and even if he
might succeed in raising the best Of crops
the one vital question of market would
still remain to be solved. There is no as
surance of this market under the present
tariff laws. On the contrary the only
assurance of any sort that has q bearing
upon that question is that there would be
"a little or no market for the commodities
that these soldiers would produce. The
one best solution of the problems that the
soldier will face Is demand for labor.
This does not mean that every soldier
will be required to earn his own bread by
the sweat Of his face, but it does mean
that when there is demand for labor
there. is q demand for everything else un.
der the sun. That means q market. A
market means prosperity. The only way
to assure this Is to Keep the factories 20
ing. The only way to keep the fact r'es
gong is to protect them from certain
flood OF the products Of cheap labor from
abroad. The only way'to get this pro.ec.
ton is to elect a Congress in favor Of this.
The only way to do that is to vote the Re-
publican ticket. National Republican.
