BANKS MAY SOLVE IT

One Of the difficulties to be encoun-

In tho necessity OF counteracting the
German method OF granting credit last
ing from a half year TO a year, accord
ing TO bankers who have studied the
subject. The difficulty has been lessen

AGGRAvhTING CAR
T|E-UP NETTLESA
NUMBER PATRONS

Traffic on the East Hill car line ex-
perfenced another aggravating tie-up
last night. Owing to an unexplained
delay, passengers east of Ninth and
Moreno were compelled to wait fifteen
minutes for a car, which was uncom-
fortably crowded when it reached that
point. The majority of NE passen-
gers were workmen delayed by the
service in returning to their homes.
On the return trip, when the car
crossed the L. e. n. tracks on Wright
street 1t was met by car No. IL, east
ward bound, and the crews awolse to
the fact that the cars could not well
pass on the single track. An argu-
ment followed to determine which
should turn back and 1t was only set
tied when one of the men phoned the
office of the electric company for In
structions. Meanwhile, the other cars
on the East Hill line had reached the
same point and some further delay re-
suited in Strengthening out the tangle.
Passengers accepted the mix-up
good naturally at first, but became
quite impatient as the delay length
ened. There was talk of enlisting the
services of an attorney to present the
matter to the city commissioners and
insist upon betterment of the East
Hill car service.
Superintendent Jack Holtzclaw, OF
the electric company, states that he is
doing his utmost to give East Hill
patrons satisfactory service but that
many causes beyond the control OF
the company have contributed to the
delays. He maintains that service
under the one way schedule, while not
entirely satisfactory, is very much bet
ter than it was under the two-way
arrangement and that he hopes to
work out plan which will prevent
cars from running past switches which
have not been cleared by other cars
Meanwhile, patrons OF the line are
much wrought up over the service and
are insisting that It be improved. It
has been suggested that the trouble
might be corrected by placing an in
spector at the Wright street crossing
at all times when the cars are off
regular schedule.

called yesterday afternoon very good
crowd was on hand and throughout
the game cheered the players. The
Shop Boys won in a to 0 game.
The Shop Boys showed some excel
lent playing by shutting out the Tigers
without letting them get a run. How
ever. the Shop Boys succeeded in max
ing seven runs. w. Ellis proved to
be a good selection for pitcher, only
giving the Tigers two hits in the nine
innings. Rookey, of the Shop Boys,
featured the game of the evening with
his long hit John Geist's one-hand
stab robbed the Tigers of a run. thus
preventing a batting rally.

RELAX NOT NOW.

The German high command know
that the German power Of offense on
any great scale anyhow is gone indef-
initely. But it is still resolute to con
tinue the war and will do so unless
prohibited by an improbable insurrec,
tion at home. The Kaiser and his
ministers reckon that by waging q
stubborn long-drawn out defensive
war they can bring the Allies to ac-
cept negotiated peace which will
leave Germany still powerful in mill
tary sense and potential in an econom-
c sense. They bank upon the strength
of the longing for peace in all coun-
tries and are confident that thus they
can escape "knockout" and have a
"draw" declared.
Their propaganda appears rignt
here at home amongst US by raising
the hope in our hearts that by Christ
mas the war will be over and our sons
and brothers out of the fighting. Such
of Course would be the hearts desire
af all of US But we might he pur-
chasing temporary respite at the ex-
pense of the worlds future and our
children's welfare.
Unless Germany is rslentlessly beat
en- to her knees so that she can be de-
prived of power to do evil the world
will be unable to rid itself of the bur-
den of ornaments. A Germany left
armad and strong will compel Italy
France Britain and the United States
to sustain and augment huge military
and naval establishments. The WORLD
will be left encountered still with the
awful weight of the armed camp sys-
tenn which Bismarck inaugurated. Ano
such a system sooner or later gravi-
tates inevitably to war as the occur
renee of this war proved. From the
next war furthermore the United
States will be even less able to keen
clear that she has been from this war.
A clear knockout must be scored
over Germany before civilization can
afford to say halt. Nor need We be
bluffed by the German threat to con-
Duct a long tedious ruinous defensive
war. It is not within Germany's
power to put up such fight. She is
