UNITED STATES ASBANKER
 FINANCES THE GREAT WAR

WASHINGTON, April 9.-One year of war finds America today the banker of the allies.
 In twelve months, the American people have poured $1O,OO0,OO0 .OOO into the allied pool. Of this, nearly half has gone in outright loans to the vari- ous allies. The international ledger balanced up about this way today: In debtedness to the United States: Great Britain, $2,5OO, 100000; France, $1,44O,O00,OOO; Italy, $55OOOO,OOO; Russia, $825, 5,OOO,OOO; Belgium, $93, ,4OO,- GOO; and Serbia, $6,OOO,OOO.
 To raise this stupendous outlay, the United States floated two immense Liberty loans, yielding we'll over $6,000000, 900; and imposed special war taxes, chief among which was raising the postal rate from two to three cents. The close of this strenuous year finds the country well launched on war savings movement which promises a large steady income; and marks the opening of third great Liberty loan.
 Throughout the extraordinary money drain, every effort has been exerted to prevent disruption of the finance market. The solid basis afforded by the recently-created federal reserve banking system is admitted by finan- cial men to have been chiefly re- sponsible for the cOuntry's remarkable success in absorbing the shock, While the unprecedented Notation of spcur- ities has reacted in the normal way to produce general inflatation of prices, there has been no panic, nc extended stringency, and big funds of investible money are still available.
 The treasury, by policy of recur- rent issues of short-time certificates, has kept money flowing freely, and prepared the way for absorption of the longtime loans.
 More than $2,5OO,OOO,OOO of these short-period treasury certificates were.

 bary upon the nations entrance in the war, the need for soldier and sailor insurance on a vast scale be. came apparent The government, de- spite lhe pressure of war financing, at once undertook the work, and evolved a system of war risk insur, ance which has brought protection to the families of 93 per cent of all men in the armed services of the nation, at an average of $7,OOO per man.
 Russias credit of $325 ,OOO 900 was never entirely taken up. When the kerenSky government collapsed, il had drawn $187OO0,OOo of the credit. The rest was being spent for sup plies in this country which never left American shores, and which have since been taken over by this govern ment.

Dear Sir: Knowing your patriotic
spirit thought you might be willing
to make this suggestion through your
valuable paper. In two weeks there
are about so Of our boys leaving for
service. Would it not be good thing
to show them our appreciation in a
small way by giving them rousing
send off. I understand they are to
leave on an early train Tuesday,,
July %. How would it be to suggest
to the different young ladies' societies
Of our different churches to prepare
a supper on the evening previous to
their departure. Say each of the
churches furnishing a table of so
many plates providing everything. for
that table. E Say that it could be held
in the Congregational Guild room.
Then after the supper an address by
one or two prominent men, then fin
ish with good concert and commun-
ity singing. I am sure the people of
Valley City would willingly respond
to any call for assistance. Also at
that time comfort kits could be CIV
en- to the men as is the usual GUS
com. A committee of one or two
young ladies from each of the socie-
ties could meet and arrange matters
then notify the different ladies in the
city what they wanted and they surely
would respond.
