basis to a peace basis and to assist
and foster thereafter the development
OF agriculture, industry and commerce e
under normal peace conditions"
Mr.. McAdoo dwelt at length with
the accomplishments of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau, which has built up
an organization of 1,400 employees,
necessary for the issuance Of about a
million checks every month to SOL
diers or their dependents for allot-
ments, allowances. disability compen-
sation and insurance.
Great Sum in Life Insurance
ut is certainly one of the greatest
business enterprises in the world" he
said, and indubitably the largest life
insurance concern on the globe, hav-
ing nearly $4,000, 100000 of life in
surance in force"
The report discloses that Liberty
Loan conversions have been made as
follows: First Liberty Liam 3A per
cent. bonds exchanged for per cent.
bonds, S,320,OO0; first Liberty Loan
2las and As exchanged for "A g, $751;
sos, ,000; second Liberty Loan IS eX-
changed for AIS. S1.541. $4,000. This
indicates that most bond buyers have
failed to take advantage of the Treas
ury's offer to convert past issues :nto
Il
terest. 1t is now too late to convert.
Farm Loans Save Farmers
Referring to Federal farm loans
amounting to S11S.52S,0OO during the
year ending September 80. the report
said: THE existence of this system
operated under Government super
vision, granting longterm loans ut
reasonable rates of interest, has un-
questlonably saved the farmers of the
United States from many cXaetions,
foreclosures and denial Of financial
accommodations during this period.
The system has been n harbor OF
refuge for the borrowing farmer.
Through it's competition with other
loaning agencies it has reduced in
terest rates almost everywhere in the
United States and has saved the farm
er in large measure from those flnan-
cial troubles which otherwise must
have beset him. 1t has constituted
the greatest governmental agency tor
financing the basic industry of the
United States-that of agriculture"
The report also dealt with the
Treasury's activities in licensing and
supervising the liquidation Of enemy
insurance companies operating in the
United States; the Public Health Serv-
ices tremendous accomplishments in
combating the Influenza epidemic
and maintaining sanitary conditions
about camps; the International High
Commissions success in promoting
uniformity of commercial regulations
between the United States and Latin
American countries, and the tasks
imposed on the Customs Service in
connection with the policing of har-
bors during the war.

EVERY EFFORTI IS
BEING BENT TO

Sending of Memberships as
Christmas Presents Gains
Much Favor

Extraordinary efforts are being
put forth by members of the local
chapter of the Red Cross to make
the nationwide membership cam
paign a success here. The cam
paign begins December 16 and lasts
for one week. Beginning next week
o local volunteer" campaign will
be held here for persons to enroll
as workers in the big campaign
that is to follow. "a membership
from each resident is the slogan for
the drive, and the workers will de-
vote their efforts to rounding out
the membership in this city and in
cluded territory.
A unique method of securing
members is given in the suggestion
that memberships be sent as Christ
mas gifts. the cards and buttons be-
ing sent in lieu of some trifiing gift,
thus serving a double purpose.
Christmas rollcall headquarters in
charge of Mercer B. Tate, have been
opened in the old post office build
ing, Third and Locust streets. The
headquarters telephone number is
Bell-4959. The district includes all
of Dauphin county except Middle

and the river towns of Cumberland
county. Fully $500 women will join
in the great drive, and the district is
expected to supply 50,000member-
ships.

coming of peace. Estimates which
he presented are based on calcula-
tionS of each department in advance
of revislons since the signing of the
armistice and he does not consider
them reliable. With this explanation
Mr.. McAdoo forecast expenditures
for this year at S20,6S7, 100000 for
government purposes and S4,375,-
100000 for loans to Allies and $2,-
$40, 10000 for redemption of out
standing certificates and other debt
cancellation. Total estimated dis
bursements for the year were put
at 100000.
Predicts Big Tax Revenue
Against this estimate which ac-
tual expenses at the rate of a little
more than a billion and half dol
lars a month to date, indicate is
too high, Mr. McAdoo calculated
that the government will receive
about $5,000,000,000 before the end
of the fiscal year next June 80,
from income and profits taxes. ST.
100, 100000 from other taxes, $780,
600, 900 from customs and $555, 5,0O0,-
600 from miscellaneous sources, in
Guiding $70,000,O00 from increased
postage, making estimated receipts
from ordinary sources S6,S46, 6,000,-
600 from further issues of Liberty
Bonds and $1,200,000,000 from war
savings. These figures added to re-
ceipts from Liberty Loan Bonds al
ready make ,16S,000,000 the
total of popular borrowings expect
ed during the year. On this basis to-
tai estimated receipts would be $21,-
022, 100000 or $685., 100000 less
than tentative estimates of dis
bursements. Actual development are
expected to change these calcula-
tionS greatly.
Public Debt S12,39G, ,O0O,O
The United Safes public debt last
June 80 was $12, 100000, with
out taking into consideration the ST.
319, 100000 free balance in the Trea-
sury to partially offset the debt. The
public debt has been increased since
then by the Fourth Liberty Loan
of nearly $7,0OO,0OO,00O and by
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness
amounting to several hundred mill
lion dollars.
The report disclosed for the first
time the activities of the Treas
ury's sinking fund to buy up Liberty
Bonds in an effort to keep their
price from falling far below par.
Up to November l, it is shown,
$244,036,500 worth of bonds, face
value, had been purchased on the
open market for S234,310,000, or at
an average price of about SO per
cent. and subsequently held by the
Treasury. o this sum, $172, ,445, 900
were Second Liberty Loan Bonds, of
both 4 and 4 Ia per cent. issues;
$40, 1886, 900 were Third Liberty Loan
Bands, and $65, 100000 We're First
Liberty Loans converted bonds.
The report also showed that the
War Finance Corporation, up to
October 81, had made loans amount
ing to s67,716,000, of which s29,-
$4,000 had been repaid, leaving
advances outstanding $37,S52,000.
Most of the loans or S64,739,000,
ent directly to war industries. Public
utilities were the principal borrow
ers, while lumber companies, coal
operators, manufacturers and stock
raisers rank next in number of ap-
plications.
The magnitude of the work of the
capital issues committee was indi-
Gated by the report that since it's
organization last May II, it has ex-
lmined nearly 1000 applications

Beatty Denounces Men of
German Navy as COwards

London, Dec. A scathing de-
nunciation of the personnel of the
German navy was made by Admiral
Sir David Beatty, commander in
chief of the British Grand Fleet, in
a speech addressed to gathering
of representatives. of the first battle
cruiser squadron on board the battle
cruiser Lion, prior to its departure
for the Spacapolw as an escort to
the surrender ships of the German
high seas fleet.
1--WE had expected them" said
Admiral Beatty, ito have the cour-
age that we looked for from those
waters, and 1 am sure that the sides
of this gallant old ship, which have
been well hammered in the past
must have ached as I ached and as
you ached to give them another
taste of what we had intended for
them.
Their humiliating end was the
proper end for an enemy who has
proved himself so lacking in
chivalry. At sea his strategy, his
tactics and his behavior have been
beneath contempt and worthy of a
nation which has waged war in the
manner in which the enemy has
waged war.
1--WE know that the British sailor
has large heart and a short men,
ory. Try to harden the heart and
lengthen the memory, and remem-
ber that the enemy which you are
looking after is q despicable beast
neither more nor less. He is not
worthy the sacrifice of the life OF
one bluejacket in the Grand Fleet
and that is the one bright spot In
the fact that he did not come out. y

SCARCITY Of FLOUR
PROMPTS QUICK ACTION
John Richardson. Henry Co.
Food Admr. Receives
Implicit Instructions.

Mr.. John Richardson, County Food
Administrator, is in receipt of let
ter from the head Of his department
stating that the flour conditions are
very serious and that an effort
must be made at once to obtain all
available flour, and Mr.. Richardson
is making an appeal to all patriotic
citizens of this county to notify him
at once what amount of flour you
can let the government have that it
may be sent to our soldiers and our
allies, all of which will be paid for
at a reasonable market price. It
seems from the reading of the letter
to Mr.. Richardson that We have got
to practically abandon the use of
any flour until the coming harvest,
and everyone who has any full bar
rels Of flour on hand will be doing
his part by selling to the government
through Mr.. Richardson all the flour
which can in any way be disposed of.
Mr.. Richardson also asks US to
state to the public that all parties
having on hand over 10 bushels Of
wheat, MUST put same in the chan
nels of trade Immediately, or suffer
the consequences.
