Belgium had 2s9 miles of state own

controlled by the state.s She had a
greater percentage OF roads per square
mile than Great Britain, France or
Germany.
When the Hun invaded Belgian,
many engineers drove their engines
into France to keep them out Of the
hands of the enemy.
Belgian engineers in 1914 were of.
fered as high as $40 a day to drive
engines on the inclined plane Of Haut

policy of force: At Luttre a deputa-

MORE SAVING OR MORE IN
FLATION?

m HE Federal Reserve
VI Boards current review
of financial conditions
throughout the country notes a
continued upward movement
in commodity prices and the
cost of living. 1t attributes
this undesirable tendency to an
initiation of bank credits caused
by subscribers to Liberty bonds
who borrow from the banks to
pay instead of paying from per-
sOnal savings.
The soundness of this analys-
is is hardly to be questioned.
Bank credits growing out of
loans on short-term commercial
paper are constantly, in the
general average, being wiped
out as fast as created by the
completion of commercial tran
sactions which originated these
loans. But credits growing out
of loans on long term bonds
are a very different matter.
Their tendency is to expand
and never contract, and the eff
feet of a general expansion of
bank credits has long been
recognized as like the effect
upon prices of a paper-money
initiation.
y This is a situation of no help
to financial stability and of
great hurt to the masses of the
people already groaning from
the high costs of living. But
the remedy is largely in their
own hands to apply or not as
they choose. They should save
more and borrow Tess in pay
ing for their government bonds.
They have not as yet half
learned how to save, and the
pressure of that lesson is still
upon them and will be, how
ever soon peace may come and
long after its coming. 1t is in
on the banks to crowd
of loans on Liberty
bonds and it is incumbent on
the borrowers to prepare them
selves to meet this pressure by
increased and continuing saw
ings.-New York World.

place it definitely disposes of
the presidential aspirations of
Mr.. Whitman, who has been
trimming his sails for that port
for a number of years. 1t has
definitely put an end to his
seeking as the Massachusetts
result did to the similar quest
of John w. Weeks. Neither of
these men can dream of asking
a republican convention to no
inmate him in 1920 after what
has happened to them this
