Rush for Easy Money.
From the New York World.

What opening the Golfers of the gov
most would-be borrowers is being vivid
II illustrated at the moment. 1t is said
that the first meeting of the new war
france corporation board disclosed the
TACT that the demands for capital ad-
Vafces already far exceed the total funds
available to the corporation. even ii the
81 500, OoO.O 600 nominally available under the
act. 1t is probable that with perfect ease
the board could make loans for three,
TOUR or five times these amounts as rap
idly as the funds could be found ana
shovelled out. 1t would be the ideal of
open credit to all"
The heavy pressure of these demand
may, in themselves. warn the board of
th' limitless demands which will be made
upon them. and so insure a fairly con-
servative policy. But one prospect seems
clear. is. that almost all of this
50. aOO,C00.oOG will be derived from pure
credit expansion, just as the opponents
OF this measure believed. There now
seems little prospect that the notes or
bonds of this corporation. which are
not guaranteed by nor in any way OBJ
legations of the United States govern
ment, will find any large takers outside
o. the banks. Three billions. even in the
United States, is a pretty stiff amount
to raise III such times as these, when
every one more or less feels the pinch
OF heavy taNes. Liberty loan subschip-
tons. the Red Cross and all the rest OF
the wars demands.
We hope that a definite statement of
the amounts of these notes placed with
the banks will be made. showing how
much of this is furnished by federal re-
serve notes or credits.

In the romance of words or the pictur-

more attractives than the word angary.

ton with the seizure of Dutch ships.

The aggaros of those times has his actual
counterpart in the English Kings mes

whose duty 1t ia to carry dispatches of
. confidential nature TO foreign courts.
The Persian cOuriers. like the kings mes
sengers OF former days. were mounted,
n constituted n kind OF royal postal
system. They. were called upon to carry
the imperial dispatches to distant parts
cf the Persian empire. According to
Xenophon, there must have been couriers
held In readiness at certain stages along
the routes of the empire. They Travelled
day and night, and In all weathers. The
were provided with horse relays. in much
the same way as the pony express of the
west during the pioneer days of the
United States. The Romans adopted the
Persian system for maintaining commune
cations with the outlying posts of en-
Fire. Under the Roman system, however,
the supply of horses and their mainte-
was made compulsory, and the en-
peror alone had the power to grant ex-
symptoms from this duty. The object of
these stern measures was to prevent
interruption of this vital service.
In the course of time the word was
applied to the system of employing heavy
transport vehicles OF the cursus publicus
and also to the, animals by which they
were drawn. Hence the word angariare.

ten shells to his one. u casualties
were heavy. There was q constant
stream of stretchers coming out OF the

In the dugouts the noise Of the guns
almost hurt. You had the same sensa-
ton az when riding on the subway you
enter the tube under the river going
TO Brooklyn-a sort Of pressure on the
ear drums, and the ground constantly
trembling.
The roadu behind the trenches were
very dangerous because Boche shrap-

We avoided these dangerous spots by
crossing through open fields.
The destruction in the German lines
was awful and I really felt sorry for
them because I realized how they must
be clicking 1t.
From our f~rontline trench, every
now and again, we could hear sharp
whistle blasts in the German trenches

to be jolly, still, there was q lurking

BIGGER ARMY
OPPOSED BY SENATORS

Washington, May 3.-The first
opposition to Secretary Of War Ba-
ker's new army program, as pre-
scented to the House military affairs
committee, was voiced in the Senate
this afternoon by Senator Sherman,
of Illinois, and Senator Smoot, of
Utah.
Senator Sherman attacked the
Secretary'srequest for blanket pow.
er in increasing the size Of the ar
my.
"The army ought to be raised
within limits fixed by Congress-"
said Senator Sherman. The power
ought not to be delegated. l do not
think we are justified in making
further broad grants Of power or
in enacting blanket appropriations
in view of the failure to make bet
ter accounting for some Of the ap-
preparations already made" y
Senator King, Of Utah, declared
it was Secretary Bakers purpose to
raise the army within limits fixed
by Congress.
The authorizations to be carried
in the military appropriation bill
will be somewhat over thirteen bill
lion, but will not approach fifteen
billion" members of the military
committee said today. Secretary
Baker made it clear that he reserv-
ed the right to call on Congress fol-
additional appropriations as soon as
the full scope of the possible mill.
tary operations became apparent
The 100000 men program, he
said, was taken as a tentative work
ing basis, but he believed that mum,
Der would be exceeded.
The authorizations to be made in
the military appropriation bill will
be sufficient to carry through all
War Department plans until Cong,
ress goes back into session again in
December, and additional authori.
cations can be asked, Secretary Ba-
ker said.
With Secretary Baker before the
committee today was Chief Of staff
March and his assistant, Colonel
Bretts. Their testimony related al
most entirely to the pay of the
fighting men, and the amounts that
would be required for the Govern
ment to meet this obligation.
