WOMEN MUST HELP
RAISE WAR FUNDS
Lovers of Home and Country
Called to the CoIors.
ALL CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Wives, Sisters, Mothers, Sweethearts
Never Before Called Upon to Play
Such Vastly important Part
Lend Your Money.
(By DOROTHY DIX


ter how many you have bought before
stretch point and buy another.
You can't shoulder a gun and go off
and fight for your country, as the men
are doing. You can't put on a nurses
uniform and so and nurse wounded
soldiers or drive an ambulance or work
in munition factory, as many other
women are doing, but you can do your
bit by backing up these other men and
women, who are risking their lives to
defend you with your money.
Without guns and munitions, with
out food and clothes without hospital
supplies, the army in France is just
so many sheep led to the slaughter If
we let them die for the lack of the
things that money buys, their blood
Is on our heads, and our crime against
them will be blacker than the Boches,
because they trusted us.
1t takes money, money, money and
yet more money to carry ON war, and
this war is to be the war of the long
est pocketbook. 1t is the last ton of
bombs, the last load of shrapnel, and
the last big gun that will thunder out
victory. Therefore, If we want to win
this war, we must find more money,
and it is particularly up to us women,
who can fight with our hands, to
fight with our dollars, and pour them
like water at Uncle Sans feet.
Womens Greatest Sacrifices.
In no war in all history have wom-
en- been called upon to play such tre-
mendous part as in this war. Never
before have women had to give so
many of their husbands and sons and
brothers to be cannon fodder Never
have women before gone into the
trenches and fought side by side with
men. Never have they gone into fac
tories to make munitions of war with
their own hands. Never have they
had to take upon their shoulders the
heavy burdens of hard physical labor
that men laid down when they went
forth to battle. And never before did
their country call on women to make
SuCh SdCIlllCtS DIS llSy are Cdllcu On
to make now.
1t is because this war touches wOm-
en- more nearly in every way than any
other war has ever done, because more
women'S hearts have been broken by
it, more women impoverished and
made homeless, more mothers have
seen their babes slain before their eyes,
! more mothers have beheld their young
daughters ravished, that women must
use their utmost effort to put an end
to war.
Women must see to it that there IL
never another war to lay waste to the
world and drench it with women's
tears, and this can only be accomplish
ed by our winning this war
And to do that we must have money.
SO, let every woman who has some
loved one at the front buy Liberty
bond. Let every woman who has a
hearthStOne that she would keep safe
buy a Liberty bond. Let every wom-
an who has babe that she loves, or
young daughter whose purity she
would guard, buy Liberty bond.

The Badqe of Citizenship.

The Liberty Bond button Is no longer
a mark of liberality or even of patrio-

financial Ne,J;--Stock Market Prices
STOCKS STEADY
after W0BBLE
Buyers Resent Bankers At
tempts to Corner Choice
Investments.

New York, Dec 26.-Stocks closed
strong today after a session of great
irregularity. This closing was IN
spite of call money rate of per
cent, The strength was due very
largely to the covering of short con-
tracts. for the market was and stu
is much oversold.
The pessimistic statements Of the
bankers are being taken too seriously
by traders. The public in general is
beginning to resent the attempts OF
the bankers to have the buying and
selling of stocks declared illegitimate
business and people refuse to sell
their treasured investments. believing
that the bankers want them.
In early trading weakness developed
in coppers and local fractions. This
was followed by a break in several
railroad issues. st. Paul at that time
went down to within 31a points OF its
low record price made year ago.
Declaration of the regular dividend on
inspiration at the rate of per cent.
together with report that a bill
would be presented to the legislature
authorizing an Increase in street rail-
road fares in New York City. turned
the tide. Buying was not heavy in
volume.
Weakness of L. S. Steel was dis
concerting. The stock at one time
was down more than points from
the close OF Tuesday and without
any news to account for it Buyers
OF steel products were cheerful be-
cause they said prices were being
scaled so that they could now look
for some business in structural
lines. L. S. Steel has sold higher
than the present price on a fraction
OF ITS present earnings and invest
ment bankers believe that the mar
ket for this stock has fully dis
counted any readjustmcnt of the
business that may be necessary at
this time. They say the only thing
that can send the market on steel
and other leading industrials much
lower permanently is a crop failure
and the outlook for crops this year
Is such as to warrant expectations
or a record output.
renewed decline in local trac-
tiOns was checked suddenly when
report became current that the pub
lie service commission had fnally
recognized the justice of some ad-
vance in fares and that a bill was
peihS prepared lot presentation 10
the legislature for such an advance.
Predictions were freely made by
important stock exchange houses
that receiverships would be an
nOunCed in the near future not only
for Brooklyn RSpid Transit and
InterbOro Consolidated but for In
terbOro Rapid Transit and Manhat-
tan Elevated.
Early in the day coppers were
the weakest feature of the market,
all the leading issues making new
low records. Anaconda broke un-
der 80 and Inspiration went as
low at Al is.

reply is that the present generous
intracompany transfer privilege
should not constitute a precedent
to be followed in establishing the
regulations governing the inter-
company transfer privileges. espe-
Gladly when passengers making the
above trips are being hauled at n
loss.
1t is very apparent from this brief
discussion that the real basic cause
of the difficulty is in the present

a certain nat rate 60 ali comers
whether they wish TO ride twelve
miles or twelve blocks The money
lost on the twelve-mile rider is as
sessed against the tweIve-block rid
er. The companies. believing this 70
be wrong in principle. recognize its
present existence. but object 20 its
extension.
The immediate question is
should further privileges be extends
ed TO that class OF car riders who
are even now being carried at a
loss that is made up by the fare
paid by the short haul riders?
IF not a system should be in
auEurateo by which fares will be
paid by passengers according TO

Chicago. Dec. 8.-Quietly but u.rsistently the
shorts in December corn bought that future to-
day and bid it up to a new high level. paying
as much as Sl.5l. The writer ha. referred to
the dilemma in which the bears in corn have
placed themselves. and the fact has been re
ferred to that the only escape for the shorts
was to go into the pit and buy the corn in the
same spot where it was sold
While the nearby months in corn closed at
advances OF l5sa2hc., the futures beyond Jan

lnoependent weakness again was shown in the
oats market and closings were at declines OF

Receipts were not large and the demand was
indiherent with sales at Chicago of only 1900
bushels. The domestic call for cash was light.

Chase as Administrator.

when President Lincoln called TO
his cabinet Senator Chase of Ohio as
Secretary OF the Treasury, this Sc
lection was regarded with suspend
ed judgment by the financial lead
ers, Secretary Chase's only expert
ence in banking was as counsel for
and director Of a bank in Cincinnati.
He said at his first meeting with the
New York bankers that he knew
nothing about finance and that il
was for these bankers to show him
how fifty millions IN gold could be
raised. They did furnish him with
the fifty million in gold and he soon
made it evident that he was learn
ling how to administer these funds.
He created the first national bank
ing system and the legal tender
notes which John Sherman years
afterwards asserted Identified the
turning point in favor Of the North
in the civil war.
Gen. Grant was without any inan-
Cial experience excepting a rather
unhappy one before he became pres-
ident. Yet he met, at the Union
League Club in New York. many
bankers of ability, Levi P. Morton
and Mr.. Seligman among others,
who urged him to reissue the green
backs which Secretary McCuuoch
had called in. Grant went back to
Washington after havipg given no
inkling of what was in his mind
and then without consultation with
anybody he wrote the great veto Of
the imitation bill and set forth un-
snswerable reasons for so doing.
In England one OF the greatest
banking authorities was Lord Co
schen a generation ago. Nevertheless
his administration Of English finance
was far less successful than was that
of Sir Michael Hicks-BeaCh who was
a country gentleman. when called to
the administrative office. Sir William
Harcourt, who was a lawyer, having
had no special financial training,
gained renown which rs permanent
for the successful administration of
English finance. Gladstone who, it
was said, never spent an hour in
counting house or bank, so successful
ly administered his Office as ChanceI-
lor OF the Exchequer that his achieve

the most impressive and satisfactory

Intercompany transfers at sixteen
out of total of thirty-fi inter-
sections of the Washington Railway
and the Capital Traction Company,
are recommended in the report of
John A. Beeler, traffic expert, to the
Public Utilities Commission, which
was made public yesterday.
Out of the sixteen points at which
the Beeler report recommends that the
two companies be ordered to furnish
transfers in view of the fact that
passengers are now compelled to
pay a scent straight carfare, the
companies are willing to issue
transfers voluntarily only at eight
points.
Suburban Company's Status.
Included in the sixteen intersec-
tions at which the issuance of trans
fers is recommended are four points
which have already been used for
transfers since November 20. They
are the intersections at Eighth and
II streets northeast. Eighth and
East Capital streets. Eighth and L
and d streets northeast No rec
ommendation is made as to the es-
tablishment OF intercOmpany trans
fers at intersections between the
two city companies and the Wash
ington-Virginia Railway Company.
with reference to this matter. Mr..
Beeler in a letter to Commissioner
Louis Brownlow. chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission SAYS:
intersections with the Washing
ton-Virginia Railway Company were
considered at conferences on De-
cember 10 and 20. 1918. Traffic OF
this company practically all orig
mates outside of the District of CO.
lumbia. Their attitude is not to
cater to local traffic within the city,
and they do not care to handle pas
sengers under any conditions. I be-
lieve a plan can be devised to en-
able the public to benefit from use
of their facilities that will in no
wise injure the business Of the COM
pany. Data is being gathered and
will be presented to them at an
other conference in order to secure
their cooperation.
Transfer Points Suggested.
4 list was issued of the intersec-
tiOns of the Washington Railway
