WHAT THE BANKS ARE DOING

American banks have already assumed very large obligations in order that our allies might be aided. The first of these was the loan of a half billion dollars to England and France jointly. Other pri- vate accommodations have been made and presumably many more will follow Nevertheless the American banks are just now greatly occupied with impor- tant pieces of financing. some under way. some contemplated. For instance, the American banking syndicate of which J. P. Morgan X Co. are the leaders is offering $So,o0o000 of 25-year, 5 per cent bonds issued by Great Britain. The sym dlcate has already taken care of many millions and when these 80 millions of bonds are sold they will convert into a long term issue the United Kingdom notes which matured in February
 The bankers of New York and Chicago through syndicate operations have re- gently underwritten $25. .0oO0o0 of Southern railway notes. They will soon be occu- pied in aiding the federal government in the marketing of the fifth Liberty loan the amount of which will not be less than s5,0O0,0o0,oO0 and may be as much as se,0o0,O ,OO0,o0o. They are considering several important large pieces of financing and they are acting as though they believe that heavy government expenditures Will continue, although the war Is ended, at least for six months, possibly a year.

Little Stories Of the DayFror1 Washington
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

in which the proceedings were held. or whether he was an outside judge who had been brought in there to hold this term?
 Mr. Townsend: I think Judge Clay ton does not belong to the southern district of New York, and he was the presiding judge.
 MT. Moses: Does the senator from Michigan know from what judicial dis trict Judge Clayton comes?
 MT Townsend; He comes from the Alabama district, whichever that is. do not remember the number of the ju- dicial district which includes Alabama.
 MT. Moses: Had Judge Clayton been sitting regularly in the court when this proceeding was had?
 Mir. Townsend: do not know.
 Mir. Moses: I do not wish to break in upon the senator's argument, but I have heard that judges from outside jurisdictions are frequently called to sit in the federal courts in New York to discuss here, but which in cases like this would justify many deductions
 MT. Pomerene: I am not able to hear what the senator from New Hampshire is saying.
 MT. Townsend: I yield to the senator from Ohio.
 MT. Pomerene: My understanding WstS lndt OlIC pl dliCn Ol lIlS case was tried before some judge who is resi- dent in New York and another branch of it came before Judge Clayton. Judge Clayton is one of the judges who Is constantly ordered into other jurisdic- tions to try cases.
 MT. Townsend: He was ordered into this Jurisdiction, anyway; that is cer- tain.
 MT. Pomerene: And it Is hardly fair inference, knowing Judge Clay ton as we do, to suggest that he would be guilty of any improper conduct on the bench.
 MT. Townsend: I am not suggest ing it.
 Mir. Pomerene: Allow me to make further suggestion: I know nothing about the so-called secrecy of the pro- ceedings to which the senator refers, but I do know little something about the practice which prevails. Where criminal case is not pending on transcript, it is not usual to give pub licity to any grand jury proceedings, so that even if these proceedings were secret, it was simply the practice which prevailed in every other inquiry.
 MT Townsend: It fitted pretty well in this scheme, if there was a scheme. I disclaim any
 Mir Pomerene: The senator, of course. can draw any inference he de- sires.

LABOR SITUATION
 IN BRITAIN IS AS
 MENAC|NG AS WAR
Labor Leader Says Reply to Address From Throne Will Relate to Causes
 of Unrest
By Associated Press

London, February 11.-William Ad- amson, leader of the labor party in the House of Commons, speaking today on the industrial situation, said 1t was all most as menacing and dangerous as war itself. He said the principal labor amendment to the reply to the address from the throne would relate to the causes of industrial unrest. T hope" he continued, that no attempt will be made to disappoint the legitimate ex- pectations of the working people. All sections of the people should under stand that we have reached the stage when we have laid the cards on the table, and when the working classes will refuse longer to be treated as cogs in a machine for mere profit making purposes"
 Mir. Adamson said he regretted no mention had been made in the King 8 speech concerning pensions or of the disposal of government shipyards, fac tories and other properties on which millions had been spent, or of Rus Sia.
 MT. Adamson said he spoke for the party of constitutional laborites. In referring to a suggestion that the pres ent unrest had been caused by a revo- lutionary group, he said his group new CT would encourage revolution or un- constitutional action

MANY GRIEVANCES

The revolutionary elements, the la Dor leader said would exercise little in- fluence unless there were genuine griev- ances which they could exploit. Un- fortunately, he said, there were many grievances concerning wages and hours of employment and fear of more unem- ployment as well as fear that the gov ernment was encouraging monopolies which would make the cost of living impossible.
 MT. Adamson further asked for state ments regarding conscription and for final peace terms before they are rati- fled. Answering the claim that the la Dor party was the principal opposition in the House, MT Adamson said the laborites were ready to support the government in any acceptable proposal, but that they would do their utmost to prevent vested interests from pressing down upon the brow of labor a crown of thorns and crucifying the worker upon cross of gold"
 Sir Donald Maclean. leader of the noncoalition liberals, followed MT. Ad- amson and expressed regret over the absence of former Premier Asquith and said he hoped that the former pre- mier would soon return to the House.
 Sir Donald asked for more publicity concerning the peace conference pro- ceedings and for information about the progress of the plan for society of nations. While an army must be main tained in the field, he said, there was distrust concerning the continuance of conscription.

TOUCH OF HUMOR
 IN HOUSE DEBATES

Washington, February 11.-(Special) In defense of the President against a.- tacks of member of both parties in the House, Representative Heflin of Ala bama concluded an address:
 'The historian of the future long after those who islander and traduce the President have passed into silence and pathetic dust, will record his greatness. Long after they have gone this man, Woodrow Wilson, will live not only in the history of America, but of the world, and the historian of the future will put him down as the great est apostle of world liberty and de- mocracy that ever appeared on the earth since Jesus Christ walked the dusty highways of Judea preaching the gospel of democracy, Unto the least of these. by brethren
 And then Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, of very nimble wit, spoke these lines as a tribute to MT. Heflin and his success as defender, on all occasions, of MT. Wilson:

That Ardmore should have \ strong

being strongly advocated by some of the

The tourist traffic through Ardmore

This means that Ardmore will get
