INSOLVENCY RECORD
FOR 1919 IS GOOD
Number of Failures One of Few
est Reported by Dun's in
Nearly Four Decades.

With the business mortality at new low
levels in recent months, an exceptionally
gratifying insolvency statement for the
first half of 1919 had been clearly in
dicated, and the exhibit is the best for
the period, in number of failures. in
nearly four decades. says the latest is
sue of Dun's Review. Exclusive of
banking and other non-commercial re-
verses. there were only 3,463 defaults.
involving $6S, ,71O,SS6 of liabilities, in the
United States during the half year just
ended, as reported to r. G. Dun d Co.,
the numerical showing being the most
favorable back to 1881 and the Indebted
ness the lightest since 1906. Excepting
1881 and 1880, the 3,463 insolvencies Of
the present year are less than those Of
any similar six months of which there
is record, and from the high point of
1910 failures for $1SS, ,5S7 $50 of 1915,
reductions of 72S per cent in number
and 63.6 per cent in liabilities are shown.
Comparing with the $3.50 defaults for
$S7, ,793, $50 of the first half of 1918, de-
creases of 41.2 and 21.7 per cent, res
pectively, appear, while this years sec
ond quarter reverses are fewer in num-
Der than in any quarter since the third
quarter of 1882 and the June insolven
cies-4S5-the smallest ever reported for
q single month. Such facts as these
seem the more noteworthy when the
change of business from a war to
peace basis is considered and it re-
mains for subsequent returns to show
whether the country's commercial NOR
tality, remarkably light as 1t has been,
has yet reached the absolute minimum.
Commercial failures in the United
States during the first half of 1919 COM
pare with previous years, as follows:

MAJOR YESTERDAY,
A SERGEANT TODAY
A major yesterday, a sergeant to,

A major yesterday, a sergeant today
sounds like pretty much of come
down, doesn't it? Yet Lonnie NJ. Pow
I ers, who has just undergone that transit
tion, doesn't figure his lot is hard at all.
For, to him, a sergeancy means a good
deal. With 23 years service behind him
counting foreign duty as double time
he has only seven more years to serve
before retirement on something like ST.
800 year-and, in the meantime he
will be drawing more than $500 q month
in pay and allowances.
He was discharged yesterday as a
major, and re-enlisted today at the Sc
attic recruiting station. He will be
transferred Immediately to Sitka, Alas
ka, where he was stationed before the
war and before he was commissioned.
He owns his own home there
Despite the fact that he is credited
with nearly 30 years service, Powers is
only SO years old-and he will be ro-
tired when he is barely 40.
When asked whether he wanted to
sign up for one year or three, he grinncd
and replied:
--"Thrce-if that's the most I can. I'd
rather sign pp for the whole seven"

Senate Foes Now Busy Digest
ing Question of Vote Need
ed to Modify Treaty.

Washington, July 11.-Senate leaders
the league of nations controversy
continued their conferences. today, in
preparation for the ratification fight
which will begin when the senate re-
convenes Monday. Further progress in
solidifying their forces was claimed by
both sides.
President Wilson. having delivered the
treaty to the senate and offered to sup
plement it with all the information in
his possession apparently put the mat
ter temporarily out of his mind. He saw
none of the senator's who have been
active in the fight.
Whether the presidents offer is to be
accepted by the foreign relations COM
mittee remained an open question. Some
of the opposition leaders are known to
oppose inviting him before the commit
tee, but his supporters believe they can
secure his appearance should he request
it.
There were increasing indications to-
day that should he be questioned. the
sessions would be open to the public.
There was continued discussion dur
ing the day of Mr.. Wilson's reported
declaration that a two-thirds vote would
be necessary to make reservations n
ratifying the treaty.
It developed today that in his con-
versations with senators yesterday at
the capitol, Mr. Wilson went into great
detail regarding the Shantung agree
ment. He was quoted as saying that the
understanding that Shantung would be
returned to China after a reconstruction
period was of very definite nature,
and that the only gain to Japan would
be such benefit as she might derive
from a temporary use of the German
railroads and other German property in
territory,

When the half-year's defaults are an
alyzed according to occupation, it is seen
that the trading class makes relatively
the best showing, with decreases of 46.0
per cent, in number and 1856 per cent In
the Indebtedness from the 1913 figures.
Thus, reverses among traders in the
six months just ended numbered only
2,111 and supplied $20,S05, 733 of liabil-
ities, whereas last year there were 3,911
such insolvencies for $50 ,2S3.344 In
1917, the number was 5,239 and the sum
of money involved $37 ,004 $50, while
in the first half of 1915-the high point
for the period-there were no less than
1887 trading failures for $97 ,36S, ,432.
While this years exhibit Of manufactur-
ing defaults is not 50 strikingly favorable
as that of the trading division, yet re-
verses among manufacturers were 1916
per cent fewer in number than in 1913
and g. per cent smaller in the indebted
ness, there being 1.016 such insolvencies
for $50 903.515, against 1878 last year
for $35, ,O93 1863

Des Moines, July 1.-THE Iowa state
board Of conservation which was Gre
ated by the Thirty seventh general as
sembly to acquire park sites in Iowa
and whose powers and scope were fixed
more definitely by the Thirty-eishth
general assembly has just arranged
for the taking over on behalf Of the
state two tracts for stale parks.
One OF these is a tract OF 100 acres
near Pennington. in Van Buren,
county. which has been donated to the
state by citizens Of those two counties.
About half OF this tract is lake par
ticularly famous for its pond lilies
The remainder OF the area is covered
with beautiful timber in which every
variety Of oak is represented except
one.
The other tract is region Of 500
acres near keosauqua, which is to be
turned over to the state at not to ex-
coed $40 per acre. Of the total cost
citizens in that vicinity agree to pas
not less than IS, 400. This is wooded,
hilly tract, about a mile OF which Dor
ders the Dies Moines river. 1t IS al
ready accessible thru a number OF
roads and It mas many attractive
camping sites. There is considerable
wild bird life there, including game
birds such as rufred grouse and quail
Land owners within = mile Of the tract

Park Site Without Cost.
Curator Egan Harlan or the state
historical department, who is secre-
tary of the conservation board, reports
the two tracts brought TO the
consideration OF the board this past
week were very similar both in their
scenic value and in their agricultural
value. One Of these tracts was offered
to the state for q park without cost
to the state. The other the owners
wanted $3.50 an acre for. 1t is needless
to add the board accepted the one
which cost nothing.
This board will adopt the policy~of
first acquiring title and control OF only
those lands where actual values are
fixed on the basis OF what they earn
and especially where citizens and mum
tcipalities take a substantial part in the
acquisition OF the areas" said Curator
! Harlan today. Where lands are held
