superintendent who appears at q
Protestant place of worship on Sun
day morning but whose actual lean
ings are toward Rome, politically and
otherwise and it is the duty of Bos-
toms citizens to see that no such pos
sible plan is carried into effect.
From now on, the Roman hierarchy
may be expected to do all in its power
to inject sectarianism into the public
schools of Boston as has already been
done where papal teachers have been
in the ascendency, not only in Boston
but in New York as well.
The only effective remedy in the
face Of conditions, or perhaps we had
better say, the best means of preyen-
tion, lies in the ability of the citizens
to get together and organize a COM
mittee whose duty it shall be to see
that no sectarianism of any kind is
inducted into the school through the
teaching staff or any other source.
1t should be the duty Of such COM
mittee to give wide publicity to any
case where sectarianism IL being in
Quoted into the schools, and recon-
mendation should also be made for
the removal Of whoever is RESPONSE
Bile. An inviolable principle Of the
public school is its non-sectarianism
and each family that sends children
to the schools should be as anxious
to protect other families against the
propaganda proselyter as to protect
themselves.
There is little doubt that the re-
suit in the Boston school election has
been a blow to women suffrage in
Massachusetts,, for it has long been
argued that though Rome opposed it,
once the women were given the ballot,
the hierarchy could vote the Roman
Catholic women in as solid a mass
as the ranchman drives cattle, end it
has been pointed out that, not being
centralized, the non-C Catholic women
would not take sufficient organized
interest to meet the situation.
The way the cardinal voted his
faithful in the recent election tends
to give some support to the argu-
ment, and unless the Protestant worr,-
en- show that they are serious in want
ing the ballot and more vigilantly
discharge the obligation suffrage en-
tails with all the vigor good citizen
ship demands 1t is doubtful if the
ballot will be extended further. It
lies within the power of Boston's
women to save the situation now and
forever, but eternal vigilance is the
price. If the men cannot see this
they are narrow visioned and deserve
the defeat the cardinal Is in position
to administer If they do not lend all

Millions Of Men and Billions Of
Dollars to Fight Ono Autocrat
Why Entertain Another


Two million men and seven billion
dollars to fight William Hohenzollern,
emperor of Germany.
And why is everybody fighting

Because William claims to be in
partnership with God, and possessed
Of the right to disregard all laws
made by men and human govern
ments.
Is he the only one to set up such a
claim?
Rulers by the claim Of divine right
are not 80 numerous as they have
been, but there are yet a few, and
one in particular who makes more
sweeping claims than the German
emperor.
Who can It be that Is more AFRO
CANT than this naughty Prussian?
He is an Italian gentleman whose
name Is James Della Chiesa and
whose title is Benedict XIV, Pope of
Rome.
And does he also claim to be in
partnership with God?
More than that, he claims ITO
stand in the place Of God Almighty
on this EARTH" Such is the exact
language of Pope Leo XIII In setting
up the claim of authority for himself
and all other popes.
And does the pope disregard all
laws made by men and by human gov
ernments?
Like the German emperor he dis.
regards, disobeys, and seeks to over
throw all laws that interfere with his
plans and interests.
But how can that injure the ma
tions or prevent sthe operations of
their laws? The German emperor has
subjects and armies, and navy, and
submarines which he uses for hos
tile purposes: the pope has none of
these things.
Do not jump tos swiftly at such q
sweeping conclusion. While the sub

New-York tribune., 1918-06-17

Activity in the investment market
proceeded on rising scale last week.
More new issues were announced and
offered for public subscription than
in long time. The outpouring of
new security issues was largely the
result of the accumulation of cor
porate financing during the period
when the government monopolized
the capital market with its third Lib
erty Loan offering. Such new notes
and bonds as were offered for sale
last week by the bankers were we'll
taken and an especially strong de-
mand was noted in the case of tax
exempt municipals, which are espe-
cially attractive to persons of means
who are desirous of escaping the
burden of increased war taxes. Cor
porate maturities next month will
aggregate approximately $12O,O00,-
900, the largest amount in any one
month so far this year, compared
with $31 100000 in June. The bulk
of next months maturities consists
Of public utility issues. What will
be done to finance the future needs of
public utility corporations in view of
the present scarcity of capital is a
question that is giving much concern
in financial quarters. 1t is probable
that in the end the government will
have to come to the assistance of
such corporations. Further borrow
ing operations of the Treasury are
looked fer before the end of the
month, when it is expected that re-
sumption of the sale of Treasury GER
tificates of Indebtedness will be an
nounced.

E. G. Converse Comes
Back to Wall Street
Will Act as President of +be
Liberty National
Bank

T.. Z. Converse, one of the leading
banking and industrial executives of
the country, who several years ago re-
tired fsssn business, has returned to
Wall Street to again take up active
work because of the war.
He will assume the duties of presi-
dent of the Liberty National Bank in
the absence of Harvey D. Gibson. who
has sailed for Europe to put through
an important piece of organization
work for the American Red Cross. of
which he is general manager and a
member of the war council.
Mr.. Converse has been chairman of
the executive committee of the Liberty
National, but in that capacity has not
taken an active part in IT'S administers
tion. He has been director since
1888 and succeeded Henry P. Dawson
as president when the latter went to
the First National, afterward becoming
q member of j. P. Morgan & Co.
"lt is a big satisfaction" said Mr.,
Converse yesterday, "to get back into
active work and to meet with my old
associates and at the same time relieve
Mr.. Gibson for the more important and
active work which he must do in de-
veloping the foreign organization of
the American Red Cross FOR still more
effective and noble work"

been issued by the National Vigilance

part in preventing such frauds is the

The report explains that the COM

is essential to the winning of the war.
but cites the fact that practically no

the Union of South Africa, in summar-
izing the condition of Che maize (corn)

could be placed at % per cent below

below normal at the end of January.
Considering the increased acreage

Electricity Saving a
British War Measure
New Lights Out Order Reduces
Consumption in
Homes

Zeppelin raids on London have not
been wholly without good results for
the British. AS result of the attacks
by enemy aircraft the British govern
ment early in the war placed rigid re-
strictions on lighting. These in turn
saved much electricity, which the gov
ernment later found it necessary to
take drastic measures to conserve
New 1ork's present adventure in
darkness seems mild compared with the
condition in London after the first ban
went into effect. To make it hard for
the Zeppelins to work effectively an
order was issued in London under the
Defence of the Realm act extnguish-
ing all external lamps, whether public
or private, except such as are required
for the public safety. Those lamps
all the direct light shut off, with only a
difused light to the ground being al
lowed to escape. Lights indoors must
be reduced in brilliancy and shaded by
means of dark curtains so that no more
than a duh. subdued light is visible
outside of the building.
In the beginning of 1913 new order
was issued prohibiting show window
lighting entirely because of the short
age VI generating plant In the power
stations and the need for economy in
coal, according to "The Electrical
World" which commented on this bar
in recent number. The order also
provided that places of entertainment
should not use electricity after 1926

establishments are forbidden to cook
meals between 8 p. m. and $3.50 a. m.

London to Retain
Financial Supremacy
Canadian Observer Says 1t
Will Be Retained After War

1t is believed by many bankers and
financial experts that the financial
centre of the world will be permanent
~ shifted to New York after the war
just as it has been temporarily since
the neutral and Allied nations have
been compelled to lean on America for
the financial support required to carry
on under the extraordinary conditions
now prevailing. In support of this
view 1t is pointed out that within the
past three years the United States. al
ways before a debtor nation, has at
tanned complete independence in this
respect 1t has purchased from Europe
billions of its own securities on which
interest of many millions formerly
went abroad each year, in addition to
advancing more billions in loans to
neutrals and belligerents.
A Canadian observer, however. be-
lieves that in spite of the greatly
strengthened position of New York in
international finance London will re-
tain its financial supremacy. Writing
in the current issue of "The Monetary
Times" of Canada, he says:
MANY have predicted that New York
will dlsplace London as the financial
centre Of the world. We do not be-
lieve it, and there is little or no evil
dence to support it. For the United
the stage of swift commercial and in
dustrial expansion and of economic de-
velopment. Its population is increas-
ing at the rate of more than 100000
per annum and it will be long time
before it reaches the point of satura-
tion. That means every ten years an
addition to the Republics population
greater than the entire population of
Canada. The United States will be put
TO 1t to finance its own domestic re-
quirements. And without going at
length into the question at the present
time, it must be remembered that the
customs and habits of the commercial
world cannot be altered over night.
What London has hammered out in a
century of hard work New York can
not achieve in a day by the accident
of war.
"But will London have the money to
finance the empire and the pioneer ma
tlons of the world? Will English
credit survive the strain of prolonged
war? Sir George Paish, the dstin-
gulsned eolCOr OF Inc StatlSt, has re-
Gently asserted that British credit is
stronger than ever; that it will not
only carry every wartime burden that
may be imposed upon 1T, but that it
will emerge from the struggle strong
and triumphant. Where does the KEY
to this enigma lie? In the tremendous
development of banking and investment
IN the United Kingdom before the war;
In the fact that war expenditures have
been made in large part upon perma-
nent industrial equipment; in the pres
ervation of British foreign trade; in
the maintenance of the gold standard.
British credit is sound to the very
core"

Great Britain Taxation

1t has been estimated that under
normal conditions after the war the
yield Of income and super-tax in Great
Britain will be not over SLIPS 900 900.
Add to this S150,o00,000 under the
head Of death duties, and there remains
for customs, and excise total of
$526, 100000, for the postofsice $175,-
100000. and for miscellaneous sources
Of income $i25 100000, making total
OF $2.lo0,0 100000, OF which $i,275 .000,-
100000 from direct taxation. But be-
tween that amount and the estimated
total Of $4,000 900 900 there is gap Of
Sl,40o, 100000 to be filled up-a fact
which disposes Of the general expecta-
ton that when peace comes the Brit
ish people will have some relief from
their present hsavy burden Of taxation.
