Predict Extension Of Credits.
The board predicted that banking
credits now concentrated in this
country soon would be extended
through the world with the develop
ment of foreign trade.
Warning against danger in the
postwar establishments, the board
said:
drastic contraction would be fol-
lowed by results no less disastrous than
those which would attend undue expan-
sion. and the processes OF defiation must
therefore be permitted to work them-
selves out in a gradual and orderly
manner. Discount rates, which for the
past eighteen months have boen based
on the rates borne by the government
issues must for the time being con-
tinue to be fixed with regard to Treas
ury requirements, but when the war
of the government have been
digested, and the invested assets OF the
federal reserve banks have been re-
store to a commercial basis, rates can
be established with references TO the
commercial requirements of the ceun-
try"
An idea of the service rendered by
the federal reserve system in connec-
ton with war financing may be gained
from the report that since the war be-
gan s3I, 452, o0o, 600 of liberty bonds and

fallen on new profession. There
were cartoonists back in the middle
ages, only they were called "merry

Samoan PoIiteness Costly.

Conceptions, of politeness run many
freakish gamuts but in the opinion OF
Lieut.. Com. Stanley NJ. Mathes, a visit
or In Honolulu, the palm goes TO the
Samoans. When man rendered his
Samoan servant pack Of cigarettes
from which to extract smoke, Com
mnnder Mathes grlnned broadly. "You
can't do that with all Samoans," said
he. Their conception of the proper
thing to do ia to take not one cigarette,
but to take five" Frequently when
Samoan chiefs visit the naval officers
at Pago Pago they demonstrate how
polite they can be. For instance, when
n box Of cigars Is placed on a table,
the guest takes as many as he can get
into one handful. When he is about
to depart he goes to the box and takes
another handful, token Of polIteness.
And be 1t said for the Samoan that
when q visitor enters n Samoan home
said visitor is expected to be lavish in
helping himself.

DARED GERMANS
TO SHOW HEADS
Sergeant of Marines Hurled
Pointed Query at Boches
When Fire Was Most Ter
rife in Belleau Wood.

1t isn't nice to swear in type. Meth
er is war nice. This is war story.
1t was told by Brigadier General Cat
lin in his book, With the Help of
God and Few Marines" Belleau
Wood is the setting
The General had given his troops
the order to advance. His last words
were, as they started across the wheat
fields under a whitening fire, Give 'em
hell, boys"
Some one has reported" the Cen
eral continues, that they advanced
on those ODDS crying, Remember
the Lusitania.' If they did l failed to
hear it.
Somehow that doesn't sound like
the sort of things the Marines say
under the conditions"
Then General Catlin tells what they
did say. When the lines were waver-
ing under the terrific German fire, a
sergeant cried out:
Come on you - - -, do
you went to live forever?"
Tell tie marines that you are not
going to take your share of the COM
ing Victory Liberty Loan.
