that Will be issued next summer and
fall, there will be very much re-
duced balance for general business
credit accommodation.
Everyone knows what credit limita-
lions did to business in the days when
fighting was going on. The readjuSt-
ment pause that has followed has les
sened the demand, but the minute
business starts forward on the recon-
structiOn boom, as it will in short
time, every dollar of credit facilities
possible will be in demand, and any
such limitation as 4 failure Of the
loan would entail would mean bust
ness stagnation and unemployment.
Every loan worker in the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district must realize that
the success of his own business, or the
size of his own pay envelope. is tied
UP with the success Of the govern
mentS financial plan.
Finally, the nation has such an
enormous amount of new wealth that
1t is impossible to assume that the
loan will fail. Everything says that,
unless patriotism and common sense
were both stricken dead in every
American breast upon the signing Of
the armistice, the loan will be sue
cess. National bank deposits in 1913
amounted to only $6,051 ,6S9,0S7; to-
day they amount to $15O51 100000.
Farm profits on the 1918 crop have
been enormous and the 1919 crop prom
.ses to be the greatest in history. The
hard-coa! mines Of the country pro-
wealth in 1913 and the petroleum wells
added 345,5O0,000 barrels of Oil. The
national balance of trade-the excess
Of exports over imports--has grown
from $252,G777,021 in 1909 TO $3,l50,0OO,
900 in 1913. In four short years we
have changed from a debtor nation
owing $4,OO0,OO0,0OO abroad, to a cred
itor nation that is owed $10,OOOOOO,-
goo by foreign nations and their people.
And lastly, American banks hold the
greatest accumulation of gold ever
known in history-aS much as is owned
by the next eight most wealthy ma
tons put together.
ANY citizen who fears that the fifth
loan cannot and will not be subscribed
has little of the courage and conf
dence that made America famous at
Chateau Thierry and Cantigny and In
the ArgOnne Forest.

OUR PRAYERS
By JEAN MAHAN PLANK.

We pray and we weep with emotions
that weary us;
Ready to worship our heroes of

We put them on pedestalS high as old

Gaze at them proudly or cheer from

If we'd get in touch with Divine Law
mysterious,
Draw fire to forward our impulses
fond,
Twould carry the message to God
that we're serious

ever, this is not so, for Lyons already
has the. Rue de la Republique, with
its glass pavements laid in blocks 8
inches square, SO closely fitted that
water cannot pass through them.
But streets Of glass are not by any
means the most curious. streets in the
world. There is street in Gwandu,
Africa, which is veritable place of
skulls. The. town, oval in shape, has
round it ring Of poles, every one of
which is crowned with human skull.
There are six gates to the town, and
every one Of them is approached by
a pavement of skulls, of which some
thing like 10000 were used. The pave
ment is snowy white.
Philadelphia has street made with
compressed grass, and the experiment
promised so well after a year that
there may soon be many companion

NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID
Colonel Roosevert's Answer to Envoy
Of German Kaiser Seemed to Cover
the Ground Thoroughly.

Not until after Colonel Roosevelt's
death has 1t been brought to light that
early In the war the kaiser deliberate
~ tried ia persuade Roosevelt that
etiquette demanded that Roosevelt
cease his opposition to Germany. In
September, 1914, the kaiser sent spe-
cial envoy to Oyster Bay to wait upon
Colonel Roosevelt. The colonel re-
ceived him formally in the trophy
room. The envoy clicked his heels and
bowed and said:
Mr.. Roosevelt, his majesty the Ger
man emperor sends you his cordial
greetings and asks me to tell you that
he remembers your visit to Berlin with
the greatest pleasure and trusts that
the cordial reception which you re-
ceived there will always remain fresh
in your memory as it does in his"
Roosevelt did not click his heels to-
gether, but he did click his teeth in a
way that he had when he was about
to utter something which was intend
ed to end discussion.

thank MIN for his cordial message and
that remember my visit to Berlin
with the greatest pleasure, precisely
with the same pleasure that remem-
Der a similar visit which paid at the
same time to the king and queen OF
the Belgians."

bowed and left the room without an
other word.-Exchange.
