The United States Railroad Administration
has established department to be known as the
agricultural section, whose particular duty will
be to look after relations between the railroads
and the Department of Agriculture. It's pur-
pose is to give all possible assistance to the agri
cultural development of the country. The ex-

FACING BANKRUPTCY


A financial expert who has made exhaustive
study of conditions in Germany throws in
teresting light on the reasons for the blindly-
mad drives of the Teutons in their desperate
effort to win victory without thought of the cost
of defeat. He says:
We are accustomed to think that the mil
itary imperialists forced the great drive on the
western front as last bid for peace with an
nexations.
This is probably the truth, but it is not the
whole truth.
Germany has involved herself in financial
tangle from which she can extricate herself
only by securing heavy indemnities.
The assets back of the German currency are
largely valueless, but the Reichsbank and its
loan bureaus have accepted this collateral at par.
Lines, the ships Of which have been seques-
tered by the allies, German business firms abroad
that are no longer going concerns, rich conces-
sions seized by the enemy-all these have been
accepted as collateral by the Reichsbank, regard
less of the fact that these values are dependent
wholly on victory by Germany, and even in
that event have become much deprecated
Nor is this the only weakness of her financial
methods. sr-
BY process of jugglery she has contrived to
rob Peter to pay Paul, and then to steal from
Paul for Peters, profit.
The money loaned by the Reichsbank bureaus
on German-owned ship, for example-which
collateral the Kaiser's submarines are trying
hard to wipe out because the ship is carrying
| troops and munitions to use against his sol
/ diers-is invested in war bonds
| These in turn are hypothecated for second
loan to buy more bonds.
This process continues Indefinitely, the whole
structure being based on an original collateral
without value.
| Even before the war, taxpayers of Germany
grumbled at budget of $500, 600. 900. The
country has added to its debt $4,000, 900 900,
and must now raise So, 600, 100000 year.
| With such burden prosperity is impossible.
i Unless the central powers force a victory there
must be in Germany a crash of general bank
ruptcy
| Hence the desperate effort to win a peace
under which the load can be shifted to a de-
feated foe.

swATTING THE WILDCAT

Sometime ago this newspaper published the
report of investigation of the so-called wild
cat" oil companies, operating in many cities from
promotion headquarters principally in Oklaho-
ma and Colorado. 1t was learned that hundreds
of millions of dollars are being taken each year
from small investors, workingmen, scrubwomen
and others.
The investigator found that nine out of ten of
these oil companies were promoted with the sole
intention of extracting money from the pockets
of persons who need every cent of their earnings.
He warned readers against the "get-rich-quick''
advertising of oil companies.
The National Vigilance Committee of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, has
continued the investigation.
Included in its report is the following:
sThe investigation of the committee shows
that practically all promotion oil stock advertis-
ing is misleading. Little of it gives the investor
even a fair run. for his money and practically

NEGLECTED FACILITIES

Official red-tape moves in mysterious ways,

The whole country is on a reduced sugar
ration, owing to a shortage of the saccharine
product.
The shortage is said to be largely a matter of
transportation. 1t is admitted that large
quantities of sugar are stored in the warehouses
of Cuba because no bottoms are available for its
movement-and yet the Aiken barges return
from Cuba empty.
They are big barges-ranging from 500 to
1900 tQns-entirely seaworthy, and equipped to
fully protect their cargoes. Each is Capable of
bringing large quantities of sugar to this coun-
try and some of them have actually been ap-
proved by the government for this purpose, but
they are not being used.

and an economic waste as well, to bring the bar.

FORTY PRISONERS
FROZEN TO DEATH
BY HUN CAPT0Rs

London, July 20.-Forty British
prisoners have been tortured to death
by their Hun captors. The story OF
their murder was brought back by a
member of the Royal Naval division.
who was captured in Antwerp in Oc-
tober. 1914, and only recently escaped
and made his way to England.
The prisoners literally were frozen
to death-after having been forced TO
work back Of the German firing line
twenty-five miles from Lfbau.
The excuse: It was a reprisal-
The Germans claimed thirty-six pris-
oners had been worked in the English
trenches and then killed.
At the end OF a grueling day the forty
Britons were made to mount bricks.
Then each was tied to pole and the
bricks were kicked away, leaving their
feet hanging six inches from the
ground.
In this position they were kept for
two and one-half hours each night
for fourteen nights The cold was in
tense and the forty unfortunate men
slIccumbed. When released they were
like blocks OF ice.
The escaped prisoner also described
how at Libau the Germans dressed
ten British prisoners like sailors, put
them in a boat and told them to row
from wrecked ship to a German de-
stroyer.
They were hauled on board the de-
stroyer and given coffee, cigarettes
and clothing Motion pictures were
taken of the welcome" and photo
graph appeared in the German press

enemy sailors when they sink their
ships. In return they starve our wo-

CUTTING RED TAPE

With the intention of eliminating delays in
cident to the present method of taking up each
problem with separate department, in future
ell function of government agencies relating to
streets and highways will be co-ordinated in a
body called the United States Highway Council
This council emphasizes as of first Importance
the maintainence of existing streets and high
ways, but opposes new construction, excepting
that of vital war or economic necessity.
Under the new plan, the government will be
enabled to broaden the scope Of its cooperation
in highway building and frees the work of the
''red tape" which has heretofore hindered each
project in its routine passage from one to an
other of several bureaus and departments.

OBITUARY.
Miss S. Maggie Brown.

On April 4th, 1918, the summons
to go and be with the Saviour whom
she so loved and served through life,
came to Miss S. Maggie Brown.
She was born April 26, 1861, end
since early girlhood had been a men,
Der of Philadelphus Presbyterian
church. "Miss Maggie" as she was
lovingly called by her friends, will
be greatly missed. Her place in the
church, the Sunday school, the home,
the community, cannot be filled. Her
work in the church and missionary
society was of the highest order. Her
heart was in it and no sacrifice was
too great for her to make for the
advancement of this cause. The Sun
day school was the object of her love
and service. For many years she
taught class. Her pupils have gone
out into the world from time to time
as home ties changed, yet never for
getting her teachings. Thus her work
still lives.
She was universally loved To know
her was to love her. Always she
had a kindly word and CHEEKY smile
fore old and young, rich and poor.
The strangers in the church were not
strangers to her, for she it was who
always made herself known to them
with friendly greeting.
In sunshine or in the shadows
life she was ever of the same happy
cheerful disposition. One of her fin
est characteristics was her unfailing
sense of right. To do the right was
her motto. She was endowed with a
rare friendliness, overflowing words
and deed of kindness and unselfish
loving thoughts Of others ran like a
golden thread through the warp and
woof of her life.
She was prepared, resigned, even
anxious to go. In speaking Of her
illness she would always say: cit is
all right if l am spared, and it is all
right if my Father sees fit to take
me-" Her only desire to stay was
that she might further serve her home
and loved ones. We, in our feeble
strength, cannot see why one 50 be.
