An Unusual Emergency.

1t is never possible for any committee
of bankers, therefore. to regulate the
lending operations OF out of town banks
when an exceptional money rate is Of
fered by this or any other market. The
eXigencies Of war. however. have made 1t
necessary for the Treasury officials and
banking committee to unite In undertake
ings which fve years ago would have
been thought wholly impract!cable. For
this reason the expectation is that the
policy announced by the Money Pool
Committee last Thursday will be fol-
lowed by the banks of other large cities
with the result that II will become the
controlling influence OF the nations
money market until such time az the
committee shall revise It's rulings in re-
Spouse to genuinely easier money con-
ditions. In saying this. however, allow
ance must be made for the uncertainties
of the war and the very striking develop
ments In connection with the peace cam
paign now being conducted by the Cen
trail Powers. An epidemic of peace notes
is quite as sensational az an epidemic Of
influenza. Wall Street Is watching the
situation with intense interest, and there
Is no use trying to forecast the stock
market s response To the next important
development.
To n certain extent. therefore, we are
now at the most interesting stage OF the
war market speculation. The whole,
world is trying to discount peace. but
the confusion Is so great that even the
most adroit SPECTATORS do not know
how to plan for a day In advance.
Vienna had a violent panic last week
on the news that It's peace move had
fallen fiat and that unconditional sur
render appeared to be the only way out
OF a distressing situation. The shares
of the Austrian credit companies de-
clined from so 10 80 points, while in
dustrial issues fell from IS to 40 points.
The shares of the state railroads also
ruled very weak The London market
continued the frmness or tho last fort

higher price level than that prevailing
here. Our own stock market was de-

Aiding Public Utilities.

u IS fortunate that the work OF assist
Ing the public utility companies Is being
organized along broad enough lines to
insure thoroughgoing relief for the great
corporations which stand in urgent need
OF assistance. There Is a vital need for
relief work OF this sort, and the prob
ability Is that the organizations being
formed to make large loans TO these
companies will be OF great service after
the war ends and more normal condi-
lions prevail Most OF these companies
are rendering service that is necessary
to the public in time OF peace as we'll az
In time OF war. The State commissions
are viewing this problem along broader
lines, realizing that a longer insstence
upon cent fare would plunge many
properties into bankruptcy. The hard
ships OF the war period have made US
realize that the nickel fare has its limi-
tations which are bounded by right OF

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Surgeons General of the Army
and Navy have called upon the De-
partment of Nursing of the Ameri-
can Red Cross to enroll $4,000
nurses for the Army and Navy by
the end of the year.
This call from the Surgeons Gen.
errl constitutes one of the most i'm
portant demands ever made on the
American Red Cross. In the public
mind the American Red Cross is
irrevocably associated with the nurs-
ing care of the sick and wounded of
our Army and Navy. In this call
more than in most it is, therefore,
highly essential that the Red Cross
measure up fully to the demand
made upon it by the Government.
Division and chapter Organiza-
tons cannot take too seriously this
request of the Surgeons General nor
work too vigorously to meet this
vital need.

We have now been at war with
Germany a little more than a year.
Most Of Us thought when war was
declared that. aside from the loss of
a few thousand lives and the expen-
diture of few billion dollars, the
stress Of the thing would hardly be
felt. But most of us have seen fit
to revise our opinions. We have
been brought face to face with the
stern reality that this thing Of
whipping the Kaiser" is not a
school boys job.
As the war has progressed our
eyes have been blown wide open by
the heavy jars that have been COM
ing our way. And we do not know
what further awaits us. But we do
know this: That to win this war we
free-born American citizens have got
to wake up and get busy in dead
level earnest.
First OF all, the young men who
are called to arms must 60 to the
front as quickly as possible and fight
like devils when they get there. This
is their job and their life blood must
be freely poured into it. And the
Stacker who balks is unworthy to
live and should be shot.
Ninety. five per cent Of us will not
have TO fight. The government does
not want US to. But there are some
things that we have got to do which
are as important as fighting, though
not 30 perilous and unpleasant.
Every soul should work, every
soul should save, every soul should
sacrifice, every soul should give.
We have O tremendous task star
ing US in the face and there is no
room for idlers and they should not
be tolerated.
We should study the economy of
thrift and save every cent and every
crumb that we can.
We should sacrifice until we feel
the pain Of the thing.
We should lend the government
every cent beyond the necessities OF
life.
1t Is not only our duty to do
these things. but we have reached
the place where we have got to do
them or be swept of the face of the
earth by the barbarian Hun.
During this present month of June
the call for sacrifice and sacrifice is
going to knock on the door of every
home in this parish and of the
nation.
1t is going to he q time of sitting
and period Of testing. The best
or the worst Of all of us will be
brought to the front. The standard
of every ones patriotism will be
taken. No one will be allowed to
escape.
Read and pray over the call which
you will find in this issue. signed
by r. H. Whitney, Parish Director
The appeal is not to the few. but to
all. 1t is directed to you. to me, to
the rich. the poor, the white, the
black, the male. the female-tO
every soul in the parish who has the
strength to work or the power to
think.
BE READY TO 60 YOUR LIMIT
