Broad Wow and Keen Insight.

After making an enviable record
as a county officer Of Hancock
county, and another as business
executive and banker, Mr.. Hobbs
perhaps reached the acme Of his at
tainments as a writer Of life msur-
ance in large policies for important
men of large affairs.
For some years he devoted him
self to that work, and his life insur-
ance business grew to large proper
lions, with some very large policies
to his credit on the books OF his
company.
For the last few years, he reltn-
quished work, but he was at his
office nearly every day and kept an
active interest in affairs and events.
His analytical mind, trained in &C
counting and wide scope Of bust
ness, gave him sure judgments and
keen insight into the happenings OF
the years.

Was a Genuine Friend.

The friendliness of J. W. Hobbs
was the kind that likes to do things
and take trouble for others. A mere
suggestion Of a desire put him on
the alert, and started him to do all
he could for its accomplishment for
any one OF his many friends.
He had fine courtesy of manner,
but that was only the reflection of
his real kindness of heart and
benevolence of spirit which seemed
never to change for moment under
any provocation-
ALWAYS slow of speech and quiet
of voice, genuinely helpful and al
ways active, Mr.. Hobbs had a VERT
able host of personal friends, and
probably not a single enemy. Re
greet at his death is universal IN keo-
kuk today, and the announcement OF
his serious illness caused much ex-
preston of hope that he might sur
yiye for some years more, at least.
Was Once Alderman.
With no ambition for public office,
Mr.. Hobbs was not candidate for
nolitical honors, but was elected
alderman from the old fourth ward
and served for two years IN 1890.
At that time he lived at 71S Elk
change street. For many years he
has been jury commissioner OF the
federal court.
He Joined the Masons fifty years
ago and was one of the Oldest mem
bers of Eagle lodge, and member
of Damascus commandery Of knights
Templar since 1873.
His parents were Methodists, but
John w. Hobbs joined the Episcopal
church and was consistent and
working member of st. Johns church
of Keokuk for many years. He served
as a vestryman for some years and
was on the music committee OF the
church for some time.
Mr.. Hobbs was married in 1887 to
Miss Sue Somerville, native OF In
diana, the daughter of James Somer-
VILE, of an old Pennsylvania family.
Mrs. Hobbs died last November, and
he is survived by their four chill
dren. John P. Hobbs, VINO lives In

The problem of what the Allies In
tended to do about the Austrian, Turk

and their involved relationships with
their former ally has been one that has
puzzled New York banking circles for
many years. The text Of the treaty re-
veals that the whole problem is to ne

interests in these other national funds
are apparently to be consolidated with
all others for the final settlements which
are soon to be melted out to the other
enemy countries, Germany being called

Aside from these features the financial
and economic clauses are substantially
as revealed in the official summary.
The text also reveals that the treaty
goes further than the summary indicated
in the arrangements with regard to Ger
man ships. Upon the stated principle
that the entire German mercantile ma

the Allied losses at sea during the war

destroyed the University OF Louvain.
Further indicating the allied deter
mnation to place the whole burden on
Germany 1t is provided that IL the Ger

ligerent Governments in settlement OF
their reparation claims are sold into pri-
vate ownership the allied Governments
divest themselves of any guarantorship
for their value.

financial arrangements II is provided
that Germany must transfer TO the AL
lies any gold, silver or collateral held by
her 20 guarantee payment OF the Austro-
Hungarian. Turkish or Bulgarian war
loans and the gold and silver behind her
bonds guaranteeing three issues or
Turkish currency and Turkish internal
loan. At the same time she is required
to transfer TO the Allies any claim she
or her nationals have against her allies
arising out Of these loans. This section
goes so far as to enable the Reparation
Commission within a year to require the
German Government to acquire all titles
OF her nationals in Austrian, Bulgarian
and Turkish industrial and public SER
vice enterprises.
This section also reveals that Ger
manys reparation account Is to be cred
tied by the value OF the material re-
quired to be surrendered by the armi-
