BANKING A COMMUNITY SERVICE

One of the net products of the war was
the demonstration that banks are the
strongest factor in community service.
In most cases the banks become the
headquarters in the Liberty Loan drives
and met the increased demand generously
In nearly every city when called upon
they put in additional desks and hired in
creased force to do the work necessary.
The bank is the keystone in the arch of
community service and is the strongest
asset for community spirit y
Banks are extending the community
service idea to the country and are lead
ing and specializing TO produce farm
prosperity.
Many differences between capital and
labor are smoothed away by better UNI
derstanding of all factors of the problem.
So the old idea of bank being in any
way hostile to the interests of the produc-
ers is being changed into mutual help
fulness.
There is no reason why there should
not be the fullest cooperation between
any honest we'll meaning citizen and the
local bank.

WHY GERMANY CAN PAY

Last year we warned the country
against the power of some international
financiers and of German finncial inter-
ests working through neutral countries
to- prevent the Allies and America from
making Germany pay the cost of the war.
This point is now advanced by writer
in the London Post, who says
81 am aware that international finan-
ciers and hyphenated Britons are trying
to convince our rulers that Germany is
bled white and cannot pay, but this argu-
ment is on a par with the reasoning of
the same financiers that the war could
not last three months. These cosnopoG-
tan millionaires do not want Germany to
suffer, because they think their interests
will suffer with her; but the facts are
that almost the whole of Germany S war
expenditure has been within the confines
Of the German empire, and has merely
gone out Of one German pocket into an

PRESIDENT AND LEAGUE

A well known New York clergyman,
DR.. Charles A. Eaton, speaking last Sun
day, said that people want League of
Nations, but they do not like the way
the President has handled it and that the
chief objection to the covenant is "the
way in which the President has balled
things up" He defended the United
States Senators for their protest against
being used as rubber stamps and kicked
around like lot Of schoolboys, and de-
clared that the President had made it ex-
ceedingly difficult for the American peo-
pie to accept his proposition for league.
There can be little question of the ac-
curacy of DR.. Eaton's criticism of the
President. His conduct of war and of
peace arrangements has exasperated
thousands who are, or would have been,
openly and helpfully sympathetic with his
general purpose. His virtue of self suf-
ficiency has been perverted into mani
festation of contempt for the frank opin-
ions or helpful suggestions of others. If
he has sought to follow public opinion, it
has been as cold observer, standing
aloof, rather than as an intimate associ-
ate. He has seemed to seek personal or
party advantage OF it, rather than to
frankly and impartially respond to it.
Instead of taking politics out Of the
war, he has persistently retained it under
specious disguise. If in fair phrases he
spoke much of war for humanity, in
unfair operation it was revealed as a
war for the Democratic party. Spite of
an active disloyal element in his own
party, he has given sanity character to
a loyal majority which followed meekly
the weakly, without even the slight con-
ISOLATION of being taken into his conf
dence. But he has used small obstruc-
tive element in the other party to asperse
its loyal majority. He has, in fact, had
more tolerance for disloyalty in his own
party than for loyalty in the other. He
has prattled about open diplomacy, only
to go off "far from he madding crowd"
to dig deep hole and to bury safely from
public view his purpose both in war and
in peace.-Springfield Republican.

LOANING BRAINS

Banking is coming to the front as one
of the great constructive industries.
Not so very long ago the banker mere
ly loaned money.
Today he is loaning brains and expert
ence in addition, and without cost. The
modern banker finds that he must in
many instances anticipate the needs of
his customers in obtaining information
and statistics relative to industries that
may be developed his community.
The banker realizes that in the sue
cess of his community lies his success.
Successful industries or farmers mean
hundreds and thousands of new deposit
ors and added opportunities for safe
loans.
Hence banking is developing more and
more into a personal service organization
and not mere cold blooded money loan
ing machine as it is often pictured.

GENERAL WOODS DECORATION

A very large proportion of the Ameri-
can people watched the administrators
treatment of Gen. Leonard Wood with
bewilderment followed by Indignation
and disgust. We do not think that pre-
ed Service Medal will modify the verdict
which the public has quietly found upon
that sorry incident Of the war Richly as
Gen. Wood deserves the high honor, we
can remark upon this award, we believe,
for most of us who have appreciated his
long and distinguished service to the ma
ton "Thank you for nothing"
No elevtnth hour recognition can white
wash the fact that petty resentment and
personal jealousy conspired to cheat the
America narmy and the cause of the ma
ton of a considerable part Of the bene-
fit Of Gen. Woods exceptional gifts. It
is true that like good soldier he put
nersonal consideration by and did valu-
able service UP to the limit of the oppor-
tunities permitted him. But that is to
the credit of Leonard Wood and not of
the President and secretary of war. The
facts that are that upon our entry un-
prepared into the war, when every man
of outstandin gability should have been at
once utilized to the utmost, Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Baker were willing to put Gen.
Wood in place of secondary Importance
although they knew, if they knew any
hing, that he ranked among the first, if
not indeed first. Of our military men in
varied experience and poved ability.
Personal considerations overruled con-
sideations of the public need, and Gen.
Wood was first moved to the south, later
out west, later deprived of the command
he had brought to high state of efficien-
cy just as it was about to sail for France,
and at one time was threatened with vir-
tual retirement by appointment to the de-
partment Of the Pacific.
When public Indignation was reused by
this shoddy and unpatriotic course Of &C
ton, it was partly allayed by inspired
hints that Gen. Wood was being held at
home for some important service. But
these were piece with the pusillanimity
of the administration policy toward Gen.

WHERE Is THE AMERICAN"
PLAN?
PLAN

WHERE Is THE "AMERlCAN
PLAN?
The country first heard on February
% that the American delegation had sub
mitted to the Peace conference Plan for
the League of Nations. On the previous
evening, following the famous dinner at
the White House, the information was
elected through the questioning OF Sena-
tor Brandegee, to whom the President
replied that four drafts had been pro-
posed, one each by the United States,
Great Britain, Italy and France. The
colloquy continued:
(Which was accepted?" inquired Sena-
tor Brandegee.
"The British replied the President.
"What was done with the rejected
drafts?" Brandegee asked.
"They were put aside" Mr.. Wilson ex-
planned.
"Well, Mr.. President" said Senator
Brandegee slowly, eve would like to be
able to examine those other drafts-to
compare them with the accepted draft so
as to familiarize ourselves with the diff
ferences"
Il see no objection to that" said the
President. a@tM
''Then," said the Senator from Connec-
ticut, twill it not be possible to have those
rejected drafts printed for our informa-
toni"
II should think" agreed the President,
"that that would be possible"
Feeling that sufficient time had elapsed
for the publication sought and tacitly at
least promised we took the liberty Of in
curing of Senator Brandegee how the
matter stood. He replied that already,
on April 3, he had already addressed the
following. communication to the acting
secretary OF state:

Hon. Frank L. Polk,
Acting Secretary Of State,
Department of State,

Dear Sir:
On February 9th, as member OF the
committee on Foreign Relations OF the
Senate l discussed certain provisions OF
the proposed plan for League OF Ma
tions with the President, at the White
House. Among other things | asked him
how many pssns had been offered TO the
Peace Conference. He stated that there
had been four plans, British, French,
an Italian, and an American plan. asked
him which plan had been adopted and he
replied, the British. asked him what
had become Of the others, and he said
that they had been 'set aside" or laid
aside" / inquired whether they had ev-
er been printed and made public. He
said they had not | said SIS there any
objection to having that done" He said
Ia' lynau nf M objection
/ then stated that would like very
much to have this done so that could
compare the American plan with the
plan which he had favorably reported to
the penary conference and | stated that
/ thought the public would be interested
to see what plan the American Commits
sioners had recommended to the Peace
Conference.
Five weeks have elapsed since that time
but have not heard that the American
plan has yet been made public. Inasmuch
as the President says that there is no OBJ
lection to letting the people know what
plan he had urged upon the Peace Con-
ference, respectfully request that at
your earliest convenience you will send
Inc a copy of this American plan so that
may know what our representatives at
this conference had recommended and
may make it public.

Dispute Between Italy and Aus

Italians Particularly Anxious to Re.

"Florentine GEN."

Vienna.-A new turn has been given
to the dispute between Italy and Aus
tria over art collections by the state
ment that former Emperor Charles has
carried off to Switzerland the imperial
jewels, the whole Of which are regard
cd In Austria as being his private
property, but claims for which have
been filed by Italy, particularly the
Florentine diamond Of 1873 1-3 carats.
The Italian commissioner. Professor
D'Ancona, has stated that this dia-
mond formed part of the collection left
to the city Of Florence under the will
Of Anna Maria Medici, but that 1t was
carried off by the house of Austria In
174S when Duque Leopold became en-
peror of Austria.
He said the Austrian government
had been notified of Italian claims to
this jewel months ago, and IL 1t per-
mitted Emperor Charles to carry 1t
away 1t would be necessary to obtain
possession of 1t again. 1t is unknown
here whether the emperor has dispos-

Professor D'Ancona has carefully
traced the history of this remarkable
stone which, legend relates, was lost
on the battlefield of Granson by
Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy,
six centuries ago.
1t was picked up and believed to be
a piece of glass and sold for a small
sum. Ii found its way to Switzerland,
where it was sold for 1000 ducats to
the duke of MilanM and brought to

SEES PlCKWICK AS JOHNSON
Canadian Writer Believes Dickensf
Famous Character Was Sketch
Of the Great photographer.

A discussion has arisen between
e. r. Thompson In the Nineteenth Cen
fury and a writer In the Toronto Mail
and Empire as to whether Dickens
famous character Of Mr.. Pickwick"
Is an adaptation Of the personality Of
DIR. Samuel Johnson. The magazine
writer holds that this Is the case that
the novelist was inspired by James
Boswell's life Of Johnson and that
the alleged plagiarism 10 proved by a
certain charH cterfzation Of Pickwick
which comedies almost to q word with
one OF Boswell's descriptions Of John
son.
Dickens did copy his character from
the noted photographer he did II In
consciously and without any attempt
to steal the fruits Of Boswell's writing.
II Is admitted that there are many
points Of resemblance between Pick
wick and Johnson. Both were rather
portly. burly men. They had a com
mon weakness for the use of resound-
Ing and digniied speech; both had
little difficulty In ~summonlng immense
reserves Of dignity to suppress the i'm
pudent or the nippant, and both had
great hearts.
But" a y the Mail and Empire
writer, I'VE have not the imagination
to picture Doctor johnson disporting
himself on skates after the fashion of
Mr.. Pickwick. and there Is q sort OF
kindly credulity about the latter that
we find distinctly lacking In Johnson.
Moreover. we never suspect Mr.. Pick
wick of being 4 bully. although 1t IL
to be admitted that when he orders
the skates of Mr.. Wrinkle to be re-
moved he shows q Johnsonian stern
ness and Impotence with pretense."
