In this particular year of 1918 to-
morrow. October ~, bears both a
new and a double Significance, a sig
nificance, however, from which the in
fiuenza epidemic unavoidably detracts.
1t is. by presidential proclamation,
Liberty day." 1t is also Columbus
day." for the first time in the District
of Columbia legal holiday in honor
of the anniversary of the discovery OF
the new world by a persistent Geno-
csc sailor.
In neither capacity can it be prop
erly celebrated.
AS Liberty day it can. If citizens do
their part, be partially observed: AL
though a legal holiday, and although
all such employees of governmental
excused from work, the banks, usual
ly most punctilious in the observance
of holidays, will be wide open and
busy from morning until noon, in or
der that they may handle subscrip-
tions to the fourth liberty loan.
Effect Of influenza.
Tho influenza has necessitated the
elimination Of every possible gath
ering, public or private indoors or
out. Loan rallies and festivities,
pageants and addresses are therefore
Cancelled.
But the great drive must be pushed
to successful conclusion. especially
in this city, which all the world is
watching. Active propaganda has been
suspended, but enough active propa-
ganda has certainly been diffused. SO
that the average Washingtonian will
not have to be asked or to be re-
minded, but will visit his favorite
financial institution for the purpose
of paving the way to Berlin.
The banks and trust companies will
be open from am. until noon IN
order to handle loan subscriptions.
The Washington Monument will be

cially. Appropriate ceremonies IN
which the knights of Columbus took
a leading part, have been feature
thereof, in addition to the days being
a legal holiday. But here and at TINS
celebration could be planned, or, if
planned, may be carried out
Measure Of Devotion.
Il request the citizens Of every
community to celebrate the discov-
cry of our country in order to slim
ulate generous response to the
fourth liberty loan," said President
Wilson in his proclamation Of Oc-
tober g. regarding the day. Let the
peoples response to the loan ex-
press the measure of their devotion
to the ideals which have guided the
country from its discovery until now,
and of their determined purpose to de-
fend them and guarantee their tri-
umph."
If Columbus were alive in this year
of grace he'd visit the bank tomor-
row. If one wants to celebrate, a
good way might be to make the call
for him.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE
GOODBANK INVESTMENT
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Bankers are beginning to give rec
ognition to liberty loan bonds as
permanent Investments. The privi-
count at favorable rates and their
value as collateral give them even
better standing than high grade
commercial paper or acceptances-
with the United States back of every
dollar Of the issue.
The controller of the currency. John
Shelton Williams, has just issued in
structions to the banks showing
them m. the effect Of recently enacted
loans to a single borrower than 10
per cent of the unimpaired capital
ana surplus of bank, when secured
in whole or in part by liberty bonds
or certificates from the Treasury De-
partment.
An additional amount not in excess
OF 10 per cent Of the banks unim-
paired capital and surplus when Sc
cured by like amount of liberty
bonds or Treasury certificates.
A further additional amount, not
limited. but not in excess of 20 per
cent of the unimpaired capital and
surplus OF bank, which loan must be
secured by sos of liberty bonds or
Treasury certificates for each 500
loaned.
Loans on this basis can only be
made until July 1, 1919.
The nearer to peace conditions the
higher the price of liberty bonds. 1t
does not look today as if the allied
cause can again be put in jeopardy or
that the winning of the war is many
months distant.
Bankers should now consider the
third liberty loan from the point of
permanent investments paying good
returns, readily negotiable for any
accommodation and sure to improve
in value to the increase of the return
from investments.
Dividend Declared.
The directors of the Washington Loan
and Trust Company have declared the
regular quarterly dividend of 2 per cent,
payable November "a, books closing Oc-

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, October 11-Noticeable
let-up in the selling pressure which has
burdened the corn market of late led to-
day to higher prices. Signs that the
note might be somewhat delayed brought
about covering by shorts, who had in
mind that tomorrow would be holiday,
and that to defer profit-taking until
Monday would be to incur greatly in
creased risk. Offerings, however, wild
ened out on bulges. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as yester-
days finish to lie higher, with November
1.12M to 1.13A and December Ill to
1.12A. were followed by material gains
all around.
Oats rose with corn. Trade was not
large. After opening y off to a like
advance, with November 64A to 64H,
the market scored moderate general
gains.
Provisions were neglected. The ten

of cereals. was upgrade.

HEALTH SERVICE
ASKS FOR RESERVE
Proposes Action to Provide
Commissions for Men in
Influenza Fight.

Alarmed at the spread of Spanish
influenza in forty-six states. officials
of the public health service appeared
today before the rules committee of
the House urging immediate consid.
Grafton of a joint resolution to estab-
lish a reserve of the public health
service to combat the epidemic.
DIR. B. S. Warren told the committee
that at the outbreak of the war there
were $4,000 doctors who could be
promptly called to assist the public
health service. The most Of the young
or physicians and surgeons have been
called to military service. leaving only
a relatively small number Of practi-
TONERS of advanced age rs an auxil-
larry to the public nealth service in the
present emergency.
For Period Of War.
On account Of their ago these older
doctors cannot be commissioned to
the rank to which their age entities
them. The public health service
urges passage of the resolution in
order that it may be possible for the
period Of the war to commission these
older doctors from the ranks of first
lieutenants to lieutenant colonies.
DIR. Warren said that II this resolu-
ton is Immediately passed by Con-
gress 1t will be possible within three
or four weeks to augment the public
health service by about 500 physi-
clans of unusual experience. In re.
Spouse to a telegram sent out to
900 Of these doctors yesterday, i'm
mediate responses have been received
from $50 stating their willingness to
accept commissions In the public
health reserve.
The committee was told that usu-
ally the crest Of the epidemic was
reached in three or four weeks. but
that in the present epidemic pneu-
monia generally follows the Spanish
influenza, SO that tho period during
which the public health service has to
combat the disease Is extended indefi-
nitely.

SENSATIONAL GAINS IN
OILS, MARINES, MOTORS

NEW YORK, October 11.-Tomor-
row will be a holiday on the New
York Stock Exchange, this fact hav-
ing some influence in inducing traders
to take profits in the early dealings.
Such a fast pace as was set in the
closing hours of yesterdays session
could only be attributed to a wave OF
speculation, and this kind of buying
meets with speedy profit-taking.
After the first wave of selling the
market developed a little firmer feel
ing, moving along steadily, with a
fair business in the industrials. Ship
pings and tobaccos led the strength.
and the war industrials trailed be-
tween the low and the high. while
the rails were rarely honored with a
place on the ticker.
Oils and Marines Set Pace.
In the noon hour oil and shipping
shares. on which there had been such
plain evidences of profit-taking in the
earlier trading, ran amuck. fairly
staggering the short sellers with the
rally. Mexican Petroleum led the race,
with an advance to 1929 as COM
pared with a low at 126A for the
morning and close at 1888 yester-
day. Texas Oil. that had sold to 1873 u.
turned strong for jump to 1917.
Big Marine rose to 1919 as COM
pared with yesterdays closing at 116.
Then the strength jumped to Cen
eral Motors with 5h rise to 1909;
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies rose 8
points; Studebaker. 11s; Westing-
house, 1A; United Cigar Stores, ~ !;
