The American Defence Society an
nounced yesterday that it had become
member of the international Com
mittee of Anti -Germanic Societies, q
federation Of the boycotting societies
of the Allied and neutral nations
Among ita objects are the carrying out
Of the resolutions of the Economic
Conference of Paris in June, 1916, es-
tablishing national trade marks to keep
out German goods and the appropri-
ction and liquidation OF sequestratcd
enemy property.
In France it includes 81 societies of
the Federation of National Leagues
and Ia associations of the Anti Ger
nan Leagues; in Belgium. the League
OF Belgian Patriots, the League of Re
mcmbrance, the Belgian Anti German
League and others; in England the
powerful British Empire Union; in
Italy l6 leagues existing as the
Italian Federation Of Anti German
Leagues; in Portugal the National
Anti-Gcrman League and for the coun-
tries still under the yoke of the Cen
trail Powers, the Franco Czech League.
There are also branches of the in
ternational committee established in
neutral countries, among them Spain.

the last analysis it is the addition Of
them that means victory for us and
defeat for the Germanic people.
With three ceptions-the British

total is 3,574,653. Russia and China

Germany, with a total area OF 2OS,-
$50 square miles, Is smaller in size
than our largest state!
Under the domination of the Ger
man government in the conduct of the
war is a land area of 1,2O3,SOO square

mately 96 per cent of the territory
Of the world involved in hostilities is
under the control of the United States
and the Entente powers
The United States stands third in
population, but it has this advantage:
that its people are one race. speaking
one language and having one aim and
one aspiration. We compare in num-
bers with our chief enemy, 1O3 500 900
against 67812,20O.
Estimates available at the War De-
partment show an even greater dispar-
lty between the man power of Germany
and this country. Germany's still avail
able supply Of men is fixed at 6.34O 900.
Out of our registration it is believed
at least l8.OQ0,000 are qualified for the
bearing of arms. The pre-war man

pools, each intent on victory. Since
the entry of the United States in the
war this country has rapidly increased
it's account in the Allied pool in terms
Of both mer and money. Three mill
ion men under arms and nearly 49,
100000 registered as subject to service
represent an almost inconceivable hui
man contribution. This nation is meet
ing the bills for its own war activities
and materially assisting all the Allied
nations.
The circumstance that this country
has assumed the greater part of the
responsibility, from q monetary stand
point, fer the world fight against Ger
manism places the Allied nations al
most as 81 body back of whatever obli-
cations are issued by authority Of the
United States g0ernment. This means,
in a sentence, that if you own a Lib
erty bond the combined wealth of
all the Allied belligerents is pledged
to the payment of the principal and in
terest of that bond.
Lest. by any chance this statement
should be isundcrstood it may be
explained that the Liberty bond,
whether of the first. second. third or
fourth issue. is an obligation solely
of the United States Government. In
making loans to the Allies out of the
proceeds of these issues, however, the
Treasury Of .the United States takes
as security the bonds of the borrowing
nation. these bonds. in turn. being a
mortgage on the resources of that ma
tion. II is strictly within the facts,
therefore, to emphasize the vast inter-
national security that attaches to a

compared with approximately
S400,000,000 in the corresponding
period Of 1917. The Liberty Loan
campaign is now in the second
week. Subscriptions in this district
have yet to reach total satisfac-
tory to those in charge of the cam
paign. The district quota is ST.
S00,000,000, and it will require the
assistance Of every citizen to bring
the total of subscriptions to that
figure by the end of the campaign.
The money position underwent
no important change last week.
Through the efforts of the bankers
money committee, which has COM
plete control over the local market,
rates for call and time funds were
arbitrarily held at 6 to 61a per
cent. Individual banks found it
possible to increase their offerings
of call funds at the Stock Ex-
change. This enabled the committee
to withdraw from the market some
of the emergency funds that had
heen put out previously in order to
prevent runaway market. On one
Cay alone last week the committee
called $15,00O,000 of the loans that
it had outstanding. This operation,
however, did not affect rates, as the
loans called were replaced by funds
put out by the individual banks. An
interesting development in the
money market was the action taken
by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York to broaden the market
for acceptances by the establish
ment of special rediscount rates
for bankers acceptances. This is
expected to have the effect of
stabilizing rates, in addition to
popularizing this form of paper as

Greater activity developed in the
general investment market last
week, despite the fact that the
financial community is almost COM
pletely engrossed with the task of
selling the bonds Of the fourth Lib
crty Loan. Dealings in listed rail-
way and miscellaneous bonds at the
Stock Exchange were almost double
those of the preceding week, and
prices in the main tended upward,
with public utility issues in some
instances developing pronounced
strength. Bonds Of the Allied gov
ernments were also strong, the adj
vance in this group being due di-
rectly to the improved war outlook.
1r the outside market Russian ex-
tcrnal bonds sold at high record
prices for the year. Municipal
bends continued to move in an ir-
regular fashion, the market in this
group of investment securities be-
ing still restricted by the uncer-
tainty arising out of the proposal
by Congress to subject future is
sues of state and municipal securi-
ties to the Federal income tax. At
the same time the volume of mu-
nicipal financing has fallen sharp
ly. In the first nine months of the
year the total of new state and
municipal issues was S172, ,4O1 ,44S,

Finance Economics
WALL STREET OFFICE:
Mills Building, IS Broad st.

The possibility of an earlier
cessation of hostilities than had
generally been looked for by the
financial community as result of
the unexpected Bulgarian surren-
der and the further brilliant Allied
military successes on the several
war fronts impaired mixed tone
to the security markets Of the past
week. Confronted by such posi-
bility, Wall Street, like the rest of
the country, Immediately began to
turn over in it's mind the numerous
problems and uncertainties that a
transition from q war to a peace
basis would inevitably thrust upon
! the country. To a considerable eX-
tent an effort was made by the
trading element in the stock mar
ket to differentiate between the So
! called war stocks and the peace
shares. Naturally, it is impossible
to draw a hard and fast rule be-
tween the stocks that might or
might not be benefited from a re-
turn of peace-time conditions. So
it happened that great deal Of
confusion resulted. The trend of
prices was very hesitating at times,
although most of the week the gen.
eral market displayed vigorous
,lndertone.
Many important industrial is
sues sold at new high prices for the
year on active trading. Other
shares about which there was
doubt of the future outlook in the
minds of the traders tended to de-
cline. Of course, every one con-
cedes that it is yet too early to talk
OF peace, even though developments
cf the past month have been so ex-
tremely favorable to the common
cause. Bankers point out that it is
not inconceivable that Germany,
forced out of France and Belgium
hv the irresistible pressure of the
Allied armies, may make a stand
within her own borders that might
postpone the ending of the war by
many months. In that event the
security markets would continue to
be governed by the same influences
that have been controlling prices
ever since we went into the war.
But there is this to be said about
he situation that could not have
teen said earlier in the year, when
Germany was threatening to break
through to the Channel, and that
| is it is now certain victory will
rest with the Allies. This tends
tc impart confident tone to all OF
| the financial markets, in London
end Paris as we'll as here at home.
In the case of the local stock mar
lset it is not improbable, under the
circumstances. that we would be
enjoying vigorous speculation in
stocks we're it not for the official
restrictions upon banking credit
which are as stringent as ever, and
which will probably be continued in
fierce with notifications from time
to time until the war is over, and
perhaps for a considerable period
after the war.
