URGES TEACHING FAITH.
DR.. Taylor Says Catholics Have
Preached. PresbYterians Have Not.

1.-The Catholic Church will come out
of this great war proportionately
stronger if we continue to yield to
the popular desire to entertain in
stead of teach." said DR.. James Tay-
lor, speaking at a meeting of the
Presbyterian Ministers Association at
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church this morning.
DR.. Taylor said that the Catholic
Church had continued to preach its
gospel throughout the war, in camps
on this side and the other, but the
Presbyterian Church had striven to
provide entertainment for the SOL
diers, in the shape Of suppers and
get-together meetings. and had in
this way gotten away from it's main
purpose-that Of teaching Protes-
tantism.

DAVID BELASCO ARRIVES

"A play about Washington? OF

Washington now is a drama unto it

was once fertile in comedy; now it
has become heroic. There will be a
great Washington play. No; I have
no immediate plans in that direction.
Such a creation would have to be a

BANKERS ENTHUSE
over VICTORY LOAN
Predict People Will Take It;
Say Tax Returns Ex-
ceeded Expectations.
PRAISE ITS TERMS

Washington bankers were in a de-
cided1y cheerful humor over the VIC
tory Ii. erty loan in all it's phases.
Every one predicted that the Dis
trict of Columbia and the rest of the
United States would "go over" with a
hurrah; that the loan would be taken,
and taken largely, by the people. leav-
ing the banks to look after the future
credit demands of reconstruction.
The consensus of opinion was that
Secretary Glass had been next to some
very good Information. and that he
had not only surprised but pleased
the nation by his belated announce
ment of the terms and amount of the
loan.
One important element seems to
stand out in connection with the de-
cesion on the part of the Secretary of
the Treasury In his reduction of the
expected $4,000, 100000 to $450O,OOO,-
600 and that Is that the return on the
income and excess profits taxes have
exceeded the maximum of anticipa-

certificates have been sold lin antici-
PATTON OF the Victory liberty loan" but
amount of the loan, plus the pay
ments deferred on the income and
eNces; profits taxes. viii fully care
for the certificates thus issued.
The unexpected increase in the VOL
ume of income taxes will be well
coined by the administration, and
bankers believe that the reduction in
the expected volume of the victory loan
issue may be accredited entirely to
this cause.
They are. moreover. elated that the
Secretary had the wisdom not to risk
the success of the loan with more
than one issue, but at the same time
evolved a plan whereby he actually
put out two issues.
They do not believe that the loan
will disturb investments as a rule,
and seem to be really delighted at the
prospect of a short, successful cam
paign. Opinions expressed by flnan-
cial men were almost unanimous that
no better solution Of the victory loan
could have been made.
