AN EXPENSIVE ATTACHE.

In the Red Cross Roll Call drive in
this state the organization has an ex-
pensive attache in the person of NJ. l.
Stevens, with headquarters 10 Miwau-
kee Daily, and for an extended time in
the past, this office has received from
him from one to three letter.size type
written sheets treating on the drive,
and prominently at the head are the
words For immediate release, which
is equivalent to print this in your
paper
Beyond doubt with US the same long
drawn out illusions go with equal reg
ularity to every newspaper Office in the
state. The composition. the type writ
ing, the paper used, together with the
ten-inch envelopes and postage stamps,
represent an enormous expense, such
as reap but little If any dividend in the
estimation of close thinkers. How is
this expense met, is the query of those
on the outside?

One hundred thirty-three boys and
girls from % counties attended this

what farm boys and girls can do.
The final entries totaled 2l4; "a baby
beeves, So dairy calves, Al pigs, 80
sheep, and colts.

poured little oily mixture on the fire
from can to hasten it, A terrific eX-

her nightrobe and bare feet and assist
ed him to the home of Earl Pilling, a
neighbor BY that time the clothes
were entirely burned from his body,
his nails from his fingers, in fact he
he was burned from head to feet and
almost beyond recognition.
Doctors Gratiot and Ludden were
summoned and they labored assduously
to make the suffering man as comfort
able as was possible.
Owing to the timly arrival of the fire
company the home was saved from
destruction. The walls, doors, floor
ard furniture of the kitchen were badly
charred Kind friends lent helping
hand to make the home fit for occu-
pancy again. and at noon time Mr..
Smith was moved there, where he still
hes in very weak and precarious CON
dition.
Mr.. Smith is in the prime Of man
hood, of quiet nature and Industrious
ways. For some time he has been
employed in local garage, and was
efficient and reliable Sympathetic and
hopeful friends are numbered only by
the size of the community's population.

Seeking Credits for Germany.

1t was learned in banking circles yes
terday that several feelers have been
put out recently by German interests
with view Of floating a loan or estab-
fishing other credits in this country.
Three classes Of loans are represented in
tentative propositions submitted. namely,
banks, Government and industrial loans
Nothing definite has been worked out in
this connection. and IL is not considered
likely In banking circles that any move
will be made until something more def
mite be known regarding future opera
tion of the trading with the enemy act
One banker said yesterday that he be-
lieved German loan OF 800, 900, 900
could be foated without much difficulty
in this country with interest rates as
low as 51s or So per cent. Others ex-
pressed grave doubt OF the Willingness
OF Americans to absorb any important
AMOUNT OF German securities. Trading
in marks continues. but only on occu-
pied territory so far as can be learned.
Many banking houses are ready. how
ever. to deal in marks on Berlin as soon
as the ban be lifted.

settlement Day.

To-day, July Is. Is settlement day
for considerable Government financing,
but as most of this was completed some

merely a process of bookkeeping, pro-
fessional Wall Street could see little
excuse for tho IL per cent rate on
Industrial loans yesterday afternoon.
Four large financial operations, all re-
lating to Government financing, will be
consummsted to-day. One of them is
the maturity OF $500, 100000 OF Treasury
certificates. another is the first install
ment OF 10 per cent due on Victory
notes. Still another is the payment In
cash OF the railroad certificates OF in.
debtedness. put out internationally by
the Railroad Administration. An install
ment on the income tax payments also
Is due to-day. But. as stated. in a ma
jority OF cases. these payments and

Those amiable persons who deal In
puts and calls on New street are much
surprised, to put Il exceedingly mildly,
at the actions of several stocks-notably
Crucible and Bethlehem Bin which
they have an assortment OF calls out
standing AS a result, several OF them
are face to face with losses. not per-
sonal losses. of course, because the
stock was long since bought IN the open
market, but losses nevertheless. One
of them, who held that Crucible would
not go much above par. has q sheaf OF
calls outstanding on that stock. some OF
them with as much as fifteen days to
run, at 100. Crucible closed at 1874
Much the same thing has occurred in
the call market in Bethlehem B.
There are a great number OF calls out
standing at around 50. The last on
Bethlehem yesterday was 100. AS re-
suit of these wide advances in stocks In
which the call business has been brisk
of late. the spread above the market has
widened considerably. In most cases
10 points above the market are asked,
whereas one could pick up a point
call from almost any OF the brokers a
couple OF weeks ago. In some stocks,
notably Crucible and Baldwin, no calls
arc obtainable.

shipping shares.

About the only group which as a
group did not advance yesterday was
that OF the shipping shares. and in this
department at least the short interest
had playful and profitable day. IT made
hay while the sun shone In realization
OF the fact That the general public prob
ably would stay out OF the marines In
view of the strike situation. The rredic-
ton that $4,000 men would walk out to-
day and the transatlantic lines be affected
was made yesterday. Curiously enough
international Mercantile Marine was af-
fected the most. although not involved.

Copper Stocks.

Keeping pace with the steels. the cop

head of steam yesterday, buoyed up by
the announcement of an increase OF a
full half cent in the price OF copper.
Utah, Kennecott and Anaconda were
under particular pressure OF accumula-
ton and made new highs for the year.
Ray. Chile. Chino and Utah all ad-
vanced steadily July copper is quoted
at FL cents. with ak cents asked for
August and 21h cents for September.
Even at these prices tho big dealers do
not care to do much business. The short
interest in the copper shares has been a
large and unwieldy one, but has been
thinned out considerably since copper
crossed the 20 cent mark
