Current balances at the bank
should be kept as small as possible
and the money invested in National
War Bonds.
Private individuals with money on

Business people and firms with
money on deposit should withdraw
all no absolutely needed for their

in National War Bonds.
Il am confidently looking forward
to the reinvestment in war bonds of

Stockholm June 20.-Germany's
aim toward control of the economic
life of Russia after the war is going
rapidly ahead. The plan is being
worked out through an organization
which has already spread to different
parts of the country.
Copenhagen has been selected as
headquarters for this work. Control
has already been obtained in Copen-
hagen over branch of a Christiania
banking house by Privy Counselor
Mendelsohn, the famous German
banker, who is said to be the motive
power in the transactions which are
to be under neutral flag. German Of
ficials believe, according to informa.
ton received in Stockhold, that by
this arrangement Germany's risk will
be reduced and at the same time safe
guarded against any consequence Of
THE war whatever may be the out
come.
Germanys efforts to control the
country are to be directed at first
hand against the Russian metal in
dustry and many private enterprises,
such as railways banks and steam
ship companies. Possession by Ger
man interests has been secured of q
great number of shares of stock of
such concerns. Russian sharehold-
ers, laboring under Bolshevik threats
to confiscate their property, have been
only too willing in many instances to
sell to the Germans at sacrifice.
Attempts have been made also to
secure control Of large banks in Pet
rcgrad. Special endeavors have been
made by the Germans to get hold OF
shares of the railway lines to the
south coast toward Turkestan and a
controlling interest in the system of
the Troitsky railway. This line reach
es from Zlatoust, by way of Orsk, to
Troitsk, touching extremely rich min
9ral and agricultural districts.
Another important object desired by
The Germans is control of the Russian
Steam Navigation and Trading com
pany, which has it's headquarters in
Odessa. Germany now has physical
control over vessels of this company
and is energetically working her wa,
so as to have established economic
control over this company when the
war eventually comes to an end. The
Russian Steam Navigation and Trad
ing Company has fleet of sixty-nint
modern steamers, and ninety-twt
sailing boats, and owns coal mines
large shipyards and docks.
Even at this date Germany has her
eyes on the Pacific ocean trade. Plan!
have been set for buying the Russian
Baltic Mercantile marine to sail un
der the Russian or a neutral flag il
the Pacific in competition with Japan
, csc and American ships.

AFTER THE PRoFlTEERlNG
LANDLORD

New York, June 20.-The profteer-
ing landlord who seeks to fatten his
bank roll by taking advantage of war
time conditions Is likely to encounter
some hard bumps in his road to quick
riches. The bumps are going to be
strewn along his path by the Ten
ants League of Greater New York,
which has been organized with a
membership of 100000 who pay for
the privilege of dwelling in rented
houses and apartments in the me-
tropolis. What with lack Of heat last
winter, general boost in rentals this
spring, and janitor service that in
most cases is conspicuous by its abb
sence, the tenants are up in arms. To
cap the climax, it has been learned
that a movement is on foot among
the landlords to further increase the
rents this fall.
The tenants do not propose to let
the landlords walk over them in this
manner if they can help it. That is
why the Tenants League has been Or
ganized and is daily receiving large
additions to it's membership. A
mass meeting of the league has been
called for tonight to map out def
mite line of battle.
1t is proposed to send delegation
to Washington to protest to Presi-
dent Wilson against the "exorbitant
rentals" which 'the majority of land.
lords" are demanding. The Presi-
dent will be told that wages have
not advanced proportionately with
rents, and that as many wage earners
have been called into the army, 1T
was unpatriotic of landlords to take
advantage Of families contributing to
the defence of the country"

Pest Crept on Growers Unawares and
Destroyed Acres Of the Plant Be-
fore They Discovered Cause
Being Successfully Fought
BY Spraying
(West Palm Beach Post)

(West Palm Beach Post)
Nobody ever suspected that castor
beans would be attacked by an insect
pest until somebody began to grow
the plant for proft-then the pest
was discovered.
Castor beans have been growing
wild in Florida for a century or two
and have been regarded by some as
a nuisance since there seemed to be
no use to which they could be put
and when the government found that
it would need thousands of gallons OF
castor oil for lubricating purposes
and that the bean was easily grown
in Florida, there was no trouble in
getting planters to go in for the cas-
tor bean.
1t is true some treated the project
as too trivial to bother with, but there
were others who planted a consider
able acreage. Among these was DR.
I. A. Kennedy, who lives at Silver
Beach, few miles north of town
DR.. Kennedy planted ninety acres OF
the non-popper variety, the kind that
the government desired, getting his
seed from the government. A few
weeks ago Dr. Kennedy found that
something was the matter with his
bean plants and a little investigation
proved to him that the army worn
was busy in his field.
He reported the matter to the de
partment, which was not inclined tt

NORWAY DECLINES DEMANDS.
But Nanscn Guarantees U. S. Pro-

Norway, in her reply to the pro-

lie here yesterday by DR.. Fridtlcf
Nansen, offers to guarantee that no
American products shall go through
Norway to Germany, but declines TO
meet the full American demands for
a restricted export of home products
to the central powers.
Norway can not break off COM

ligcrent parties without serious dan
ger that it will not be possible to
maintain the neutrality of the cou>l-
try longer. Norway may justly claim
she shall not, through the prospect
of being denied daily bread, face the
choice between actual need and the
acceptance of an agreement which
would involve danger to her positions
as a neutral and possibly expose her
to war.

AGAINST rEUToN BOYCOTT.
Manufacturers Dissent to Chamber

New York, Feb. 15.-The National
a ASSOCIATION of Manufacturers has
dissented to the proposal of trade
boycott on Germany after the war, it
was announced last night. The
question was voted upon in refer
endtum submitted to its members by
the Chamber Of commerce OF the
United States. The ballot of the
association has been forwarded to
Washington.
Disapproval OF the boycott plan
was voiced by the associations board
of directors February s, before the
referendum was submitted to the
membership. A statement issued to-
night by the association explains the
ADVERSE vote.
"The economic boycott proposed
by the referendum" it said, IS an
unwarranted interference in matter
of international relations, the hand
ling of which rests with the President
ami Congress. The creation of boy

ESCAPES DRAFT BY SUICIDE.
West Virginian Hangs Self From
Rafter on Which Father Died.

Elkins, w. Va, Feb. 15.-Word was
received here yesterday of the SUI
eide near Belington, Barbour county,
of Nicholas Jones, 81 years old, who
hanged himself on the same rafter
in his barn upon which his father
hanged himself Is years ago. Young
Jones had worried a great deal over
the draft and some months ago while
out hunting shot off portion OF one
hand. 1t was said in the neighbor-
hood that he did it to escape army
service.
Since recovering, the young man
had been greatly disturbed over the
prospect of going to war and leaving
his widowed mother and an invalid
brother. 1t is believed that worry
unbalanced his reason and that he
committed the act while temporarily
deranged. His body was found in the
barn by his mother when she went
to milk. The mother attempted to
take the body of her son down, but
was unable to do so, as he weighed
165 pounds, and summoned neigh
bors, some of whom had helped take
her husbands body from the ident!-
cal beam.
