New-York tribune., 1919-02-12

The letter and bill offered by
Secretary Glass supplied fresh in
centive for further "new low rec
ord" for outstanding Liberty bonds.
The Secretary's request that the
bill authorize 0,00O,O0O,00O more
government bonds does not mean
that that amount will be sold. 1t
certainly does not mean that
that amount will be offered in
April. But the Victory Loan has
been referred to as the "last," and
the request for larger authorize
ton indicates that the Secretary
in view of the uncertainties of the
needs of the government, may nave
in mind a still further offering.
1t is not surprising that persons
in the copper trade would like to
have the ban removed on German
importation. Germany before the
war was by far our largest Gus
toner for the metal. She took 252, :
100000 pounds in 1912, 100000
i'll 1913 and 177.0O0.00O in the
early part of 1914. Our total ex-
ports in 1912 were 775,0OO 900
pounds; in 1913, 926,000,0O0, and
in 1914, 84O,000,O00. The fg9res
show to what an enormous extent
the copper trade depends upon for
eign demand for it's sales. The to-
tai American production of copper
in 1913, when 926,00O,O0O pounds
were exported, was only 1926, ,000,-
600. That is equal to the estimate
of accumulated stocks of the metal
ir this country now. One of the
most important tasks before the
copper producers now in Europe tc
Investigate conditions there will
be to find how much of the metal
can be salvaged from the battle
fields and how much that process
will cost.
Continued weekly increases in the
note circulation of the Bank oi
France, in contrast with the con.
traction in our own Federal Re
serve notes with the diminution ir
trade, has been criticised in this
country as indicating that the
French currency varies with the
needs and expenditures of the gov.
ornment and not with the needs Of
trade. 1t has been taken, in other
words, to mean nothing short OF
imitation. "The London Times's'
weekly edition of January "a, re
marking on the total increase ir
the Bank of France note circula
ton of $460,000,O00 in three weeks
says that the increase "was not due
to any requirements of the ordinary
financing Of French expenditure
but is really to be accounted for by
the action of the government in re
tiring the German currency by The
substitution Of French in Alsace
Lorraine" The paper understands
that the total amount Of German
currency to be withdrawn in thi.
way has been estimated at abou
$600,000,000. Since "The Times
article was written the note c:rcu
lation Of the French bank has in
creased further $115,000,000.

ton Of Certain Trees.

Nuts are the best Of all tree crops
because Of their high food value, their
long keeping qualities and the long
life Of the trees. But there are many
other tree crops almost entirely neg
lected by us. In tropical countries the
food Of whole nations Is largely de-
rived from tree fruits, both for nan
and animal. The bread fruit, the
banana, the avocado, the pawpaw, the
carob, the fg, are examples. But with
such fruits as the American pawpaw,
the persimmon, the mulberry, the
honey locust, the acorn and beechnut
are neglected sources Of food, espcc-
tally for animals. Doctor Smith
says that our dOmesticated animals
eat about nlne-tenths Of our food
crops and that we spend IA large part
OF our time waiting on these animals.
Why not make our hogs and chickens,
for example, walt on themselves by
having good crop trees, many Of which
keep dropping their fruit over II large
period Of time. under which ve can
pasture them? In Portugal they en-
tirely fattcn their pigs on ncorns AMI

III BELL.

THIS bell, the most treasured relic
i In the nation, was cast by n Lon
don bell founder, brought to America
In 1852 and hung In the lone of the
old state house In Philadelphia. II
weighs about 1000 pounds.
II was cracked by Il stroke Of its
clapper while being tested and was
re-cast in Philadelphia In 1853. Again
II proved defective and again II was
vc-cnst. The words "PrOclalm Liberty
Throughout Al the Land Unto All the
Inhabitants Thereof are Inscribed up
on Il.
Before the British occupied Phil
adclpliia II was taken down and hid
in the Delaware river, being removed
later and returned to rs former po-
sition.
1t fulfilled the prophecy Of It's in
scription when, In l71G It rang out
the glad tldings that the II states had
ratified the Declaration Of lndcpcnd-
encc.
For fifty years or more II rang In
the celchi: ton OF every national an
niversary. On July s, 1885, while
tulling for the funeral OF chief Justice
Marshall, It cracked again and has
been mute ever since.
So that all Americans might see
this venerable and hallowod relic, II
has beer taken on many Journeys. In
1894 Il went 10 New Orleans. In 1893
10 Chicago, I'm 1898 10 Atlanta, In 1902
