Therefore, be is resolved: That we.

Ways and Means Committee fixed the
maximum Of bonds to be issued by the
corporation at $2,000,00O, 900, instead
of $4,000, 100000 as provided in the
Senate bill, and had retained the SEN
atc's voluntary licensing system for
controlling private security issues Of
100000 or more as substitute for the
compulsory licensing feature Of the

on securities acquired since the war
began, limit the aggregate of out
standing advances to 10 per cent of the
corporations capital stock, require Fed

Churches Economic
To Help Win War
Fifth Avenue Places of Wor-
ship Putting Every Penny
to Account

Fifth Avenue churches. as shown by
the annual reports, have been cutting
down expenses. receiving more gifts
and investing the difference in extraor-
Gsnary war activities.
The annual report of ST. Thomas's
Church, which was issued yesterday,
shows economies which effected saw
ing of $4,000 in its average annual eX
penditures of $4,000. So farreachine
was the desire to save every extra
penny in this fashionable church that
even the number of annual statements
was cut by 800 copies.
St. Patrck's Cathedral and other
churches participated heartily in the
movement, all with the same purpose
of turning every unnecessary expendi
ture of the past to account.
st. Bartholomew's reduced its eX-
penses by $4,000 and the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian by 81, 900. Similar re-
ductions arc shown in the reports OF
the Brick Presbyterian, St. Nicholas
Collegiate Reformed and the Fifth
Avenue Baptist. All these churches,
like st. Thomas's, report an increase
in contributions.
"Our dearest and our best" said the
Rev. DR.. Ernest NJ. Stires, rector of st.
Thomas's, in his report, "au our toll
and our treasure are vel! spent to
achieve victory. Let US rejoice that
we arc counted worthy to suffer in the

Edward Lauterbach's Sug-
gestion Is Applauded at
Annual Meeting
$775,5OO Lent in Year
Losses Cut Almost in Half;
Mrs. Moses J. IIyamson and
Jacob H. Schiff Speak

The Hebrew Free Loan society took
under conside ration yesterday sug-
Gestlon made at its annual meeting at
los Second Avenue by Edward Lauter-
bach that the organization take an ac-
tive part in The rehabilitation Of a
Jewish state in Palestine by extending
It's activities to that land The sug-
gcstion was greeted with applause.
Jacob II. Schiff spoke of the patriotic
service rendered by the society in re-
lieving the temporary needs of the
families OF Jewish soldiers. For the
first time in the history Of the society
a woman was permitted to speak at
the annual meeting. She was Mrs.
Moses J. Hyamscn.
Activities Of the society in the last
year year were summed up by julius J.
Dukas, its president. in his annual re-
port. With o total lending capital of
S24l ,637.69 it made 23.403 loans, aggrc-
eating S775,50O. The percentage of
losses was cut almost in half In 1916
1t was ilve-eighths of one per cent;
last year 1t was three-elghths Of one
per cent.
Inc decision to increase the limit of
the individual loan from 5000 to $500
had enabled the society to render much
moro valuable assistance to borrowers
than ever before. Mr. Dukas said.
"The larger the amount of the ind-
vidual loan said Mr. pukas, "thc
greater the constructive good it does,
tor loans OF $500 are desired for the
purpose of permitting the borrower TO
enlarge his business or to secure the
capital with which to embark in new
business: Such loans very greatly in
crease the opportunity for individuals
to help themselves and to help others
to become really self-support
branches established ct 50 East
10th Street. 1921 Boston Road, The
Bronx, and 1879 PitlSin Avenue, Brook
!Iyn, have done 4 thriving business, MI
Dukas said, having made in the aggrc-
gate one-third Of The total loans Of the
society for the year. Branches should
be established as fast as the demand
developed, Mr. Dukas declared, adding
that the Williamsburg and Bath Beach
sections Of Brooklyn seemed TO Offer
fertile opportunities.
Expressing his belief that business
conditions would change, sooner or
later, for the worse, Mr.. Dukas made
an appeal for additional funds to be
added to the lending capital so that
the society would be prepared for the
demands that lean days would bring
upon it.
The organization started It's career
with capital Of S67 and has made
oo31 1872 loans, aggregating nearly So
600, 900. -
