IMPROVEMENTS
 TO BE MADE IN BANK OF ENGLAND

London, June 1.-The Bank of
 England is to be rebuilt. The
 governors and court of directors
 of the institution for the past
 twenty five years have considered
 the advisa bility of replacing the black
 one-story "O1d Lady of Threadneedle Street, with more modern and com- modious structure. The ina,dequacy
 of the venerable pile to meet present
 day needs has necessitated the estab-
 lishment, since tn beginning of the
 various parts of London to house the
 banks growing army of clerks and
 newly created departments.
 Esta bliShed in 1891, the Bank of
 England is the oldest national bank
 in Europe. Millions of people throughout the world know the out side of the low, black building which for more than two centuries has been the Empires financial center. Its cen tra1 part was erected in 1732-4 but the outer part, which one sees from adjacent streets, dates from 17Ss. The present building spreads over 4 acres of what is perhaps the most val uable real estate in the world, in the heart of London'S world training cen ter. At least once. in December, 1925 it saved the country from bankruptcy During the Lord George Gordon riots | of June 17S0, it withstood a two-days attack by mob which was driven 1 off by soldiers stationed outside and | clerks and bank officials who mount l ed the walls.
 Since that date the bank has beer guarded every night by a detachment | of thirty-six soldiers who, command 1 ed by an officer, march down from I London Tower and take up their pos
 itions on the walls at sundown.
 | A number of windows, which broke l the blank solidarity of the bank: | outer walls, were closed with huge i blocks of granite after the rioting l but their outline is traced by the re.
 naaining sills. x

PorANDs I1BERTY LOAN DRIVE

5 Added impetus was given today to
 the $5O,00O,000 Polish Liberty Loan
 Drive in New England by the publi-
 cation at more than 50 mass meetings
 of a personal message from Secretary
 of State Bainbridge Colby, placing
 behind the loan his support and the sympathy of the United States f'In
 Po1and's efforts to re-esta blish her
 industries and make place for her
 self among the producing nations of the world the message follows:
 'I regret that it is not possible for
 me to be present to express my per- sonal interest in the furtherance of this great purpose. The United States looks with sympathy upon Poland's efforts to re-establish her industries and make a place for her. self among the producing nations o1 the world, material aid for legitimate development will constitute a mos: effective pledge of American interest in the new republic. I am sure it is the desire of all Americans that Po- land shall prosper and grow strong that it may work out the great des- i tinies that lie before it and also that l the friendship between the two coun- i tries shall be of the most enduring l kind.'

DECLARES s'TIPS"
 ARE GREAT EVIL

President Wilson is honorary, presi- dent of the Boy Scouts of America, and William H. Taft, former Presi- dent, is honorary vice president. The movement has for it's active president, Colin H. Livingstone, of Washington, D. C., a prominent figure in American
 business life, and the other active of ficers and members of the executive board are men of the highest stand ing in various activities. When MT. Livingstone was asked to give a state
 ment for this periodical he replied as follows, and it unquestionalbly will be
 one of the landmarks in the campaign
 for better business morale:
 Thank you for sending me a copy of your Review which I have read
 with very great inteerst.
 T am glad you are' going to insert
 in 1t the regulations covering Boy Scouts in connection with tipping,
 and the receiving of gratuities gener- ally. I regard this as one of the fun
 damentaLs in character building of young boys who are susceptible to the pernicious influence of the tip or bribe in all it's subtle forms.
 t'If there is anything in the ordinary habits of mankind at the present time that comes near to the subtle influence of the apple of Eve it is the giving and receiving of a tip.
 'tNo one gives a tip without some restraint and repu1sion of feeling and no one receives a tip without to a certain extent at least, injuring thotr sense of honor and Independence If boys are encouraged or permitted to receive gratuities for the little cour- tesies of services rendered by them, the fine edge would be taken off their characters forever and the highly sensitized consciousness of doing good 1 turns would be utterly destroyed. l Tt is the habit of doing the good turn without any expectation of re- I ward that gives the fine edge to char acter, and the continued practice ot
 it hardens this edge until it gets a l, permanent cutting value. The longer 1.-the practice is cultivated the more en- during the edge becomes.
 l "I hope the work you are engaged l in may succeed. It is very helpful al l though I can foresee tremendous diff ficulties in the accomplishment o1 large results quickly.

NO INDICATION
 OF PERMANENT
 BUSINESS SLUMP

Some degree of construction may come as the result of falling prices and tight money. But serious and prolonged business depressions do not occur, except when great numbers of the people are idle and deprived of buying power. Such Impressions in the past have been attributed in large measure to lover production"
 There is no sign of over production now. While good many counter mands of goods have been received yet manufacturer that are getting
 them say they still have plenty of work to do. In many lines deliveries |are far behind the orders.
 In previous business depressions
 multitudes of people were close to the subsistence line. They had not a dol lar ahead, and the moment their working place closed, they had to stop spending money. This started waves of shut downs that spread all over the country.
 It is still true that many people are close to the subsistence line. They have been spending money extrava- gantly and making little effort tc save. But another great multitude have saved money on the high wages of the past two years. Temporary

CLAIMS BULGARIA
 WILL KEEP F
 DESPITE BUkD1IjS
People Believe They Were Misled By Promise of
 Presidents IA Points.

Sofia, Bulgaria, June 14-Bu1garia will keep the peace despite the loss under the treaty of her provinces of Dobrudja and Thrace, Premier Alex ander Stambuliusky has told The As sociated Press correspondent.
 America and the Allies may be assured that we shall maintain order and quiet and bear our burdens and trials stoically," he said. we will face the harsh sentence the Peace Conference has imposed upon us with courage and fortitude and rely upon internal reconstruction and perserver- ing labor to gain what we have lost in the war. Bulgaria for the moment may be crushed, but she will rise again with new strength and be an example to the world of what patti ence, industry and national patriotism can accomplish"
 The Premier referred to Bulgaria's s relations with Greece, Serbia and Rumania. eve desire, of course" he said, ito live in harmony and good will with our neighbors, but some of their territorial demands are so eX- cessive that any cordial and-"enduring g relationship seems well-nigh impossi- ble. How can our friendship with Greece be permanent while MT. Neni- zelos denies us the right of a seaport rfl the Aegean? And how can our friendly feeling toward Rumania be anything more than artificial and tra.nsitory while she insists on holding the Southern Dobrudia? With our other neighbor, Serbia, we desire to live on the most agreeable terms; but in the absence of a permanent gov ernment there we have not been able to take the necessary steps toward establishing the elements of future friendship
 M. Stambuliusky then discussed Americas participation in the wal and the peace negotiations and la mented the failure of the Peace Con- ference to apply President Wilson's 14 points. Ut was MT. Wilson's promise that we should gain by peace all that we were striving to gain by war that caused our soldiers to lay down their arms and to capitulate tc the Great Powers. But what did the Peace Conference do? It tramplet under foot all the high principles which your President had enunciated

shut-downs would not seriously affect
 their spending and consuming ability. The average workingman, in spite
 of high prices, is better off than he
 has ever been before. This creates d
 more solid foundation for prosperity than has existed in previous times when the financial outlook was threatening. Also the existence of 1.-the federal reserve system promotes confidence among business men. In- e''strial depressions in the past have been largely "psychological'' due to the fears, real or ground1ess;:2 which
 the business community felt about the | then unsound monetary system.

And Bulgaria was thus completely raisle!.
 However, with all the tremendous burdens that have been imposed upon us by the Allies" MT. StambulWsky concluded, i've have not lost hope look optimistically to the future. The world is in a process of regenera ton and recreation. MT. Wilson's prin- ciples which were Haunted by the Allies are being taken up by the peo- pies of the earth. whether conquerors or conquered. eInevitably a popular movement will be created which will enforce a revision of the peace treaty. Even in the Allied countries there is much dissatisfaction with it."

PARIS PAPERS ALL 8 COMMENT ON
 NOMINATION

Paris, June 14.---The newspapers of this city all devote considerable scace to the nomination of Harding and Coolidge.
 Tt is a triumph of the machine of the party organization, or it's bosses, over personalities sufficiently power full or well supplied with funds to be in a. position to appeal directly to the nation," declares Pertinax, political editor of the E'cho De Paris.
 MT. Harding is a champion of the international political point of view which raised the American Senate against the Versailles treaty." says the Journal. ''But all Frenchmen are grtatly satisfied with the elimination of Hiram Johnson, whose heart and spirit have never been greatly in fa- vor of France. MT. Harding is of a type made up uprightness and kind ness and work. He deserves our re- spect and our generous sympathy
 The newspaper comments on the fact that MT. Harding is an intimate friend of Mvron T. Herrick former IT. s. Ambassador to France and a real friend of this country.
 London, June 14.---Warren c. liar ding's personality and record being virtually known here, newspapers to- day expressed neither satisfaction nor disappointment with the Republican T choice of d presidential candidate.

TO BUY BONDS ONLY
FOR SINKING FUND
U. S. Will Discontinue Purchase
Fund Activities After July |,
Houston Announces.

Secretary OF the Treasury Houston
has announced that. on and pfieT
July 1. the Treasury Department
would discontinue making purchases
OF Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes
for the o per cent Bond Purchase
Fund. and would make purchases
thereafter only for the Sinking Fund
OF 2h per cent, created under the
Victory Loan Act.
In making this decision, Secretary
Houston called attention to the fact
that the Bond Purchase Fund expires
one year after the termination OF the
war, but as a technical state OF war
continues beyond the period copten-
plated at the time the authority was
conferred, and In view OF the fact
that on July ] more than a year viii
have elapsed since the fiotaton OF
the last Liberty Loan. and that un-
less Government expenditures should
be greatly decreased or taxes In
creased, continued purchases for the
Bond Purchase Fund could only be
financed by the issue OF additional
certificates OF Indebtedness. thus In
creasing the floating debt while de-
creasing the funding debt.
Secretary Houston further stated
that the approximate amount of the
Bond Purchase fund for the period
end ng June 80, 1920. will be taken
over from the War Finance Corpo-
ration, or. to a limited extent, pur-
chased in the open market, and IN
either case canceled and retired. and
that hereafter such purchases as the
Treasury may have TO make Will be
occasional and not habitual.
81 believe that the time has come
when the disappearance OF the Gov
eminent from Lhe market. except as
an occasional purchaser. will have a
beneficial effect upon the market for
the bonds and notes both by reduc-
ing the Treasury's current borrow
.ngs on Treasury certificates and
stimulating the interest OF invest
ment bankers and the public in the
market for Liberty and Victory Sc
curities."

DELAWARE TO GIVE
WOMEN SUFFRAGE
Susan 3. Anthony Amendment
Will Be Passed This Week,
Governor Predicts.

The legislature OF Deiaware-the
thirty-sixt State to ratify-will sp-
prove the Susan II. Anthony suffrage
amendment early this week, probably
Tuesday.
Governor Townsend and leaders OF
the legislature made this prediction
10 leaders in Congress yesterday,
after the latter had extricated them
from a parliamentary tangle which
at nrst looked as IL IL would prevent
favorable action.
The Delaware House rejected the
resolution OF ratification a few weeks
ago, and failed TO pass a motion 10
reconsider the vote by which the re-
lection was ordered. Under the rules
OF the legislature the resolution,
therefore. could not be reconsidered
by the House at this special session,
The suffrage advocates thought they
were checkmsted.
A delegation Of leaders came TO
Washington seversl days ago and
conferred with leaders in the Senate
and House on a method OF circum-
venting the parliamentary obstacles.
Congressman Fess, Republican. OF
Ohio. prepared lengthy opinion,
pointing a way out OF the difficulty,
and the course he suggested was
agreed upon.
The Senate has before II a resolu-
.tion Identical with the one the House
rejected. This will be passed in the
upper branch and sent to the lower
body for adoption.
Another difficulty which may have
to be overcome, however, is involved
in the threat OF the suffrage op-
ponents to institute injunction pro-
ceedings on the ground that the reso-
luton passed in this manner would
be unconstitutional. II this phase OF
the opposition night materializes, the
Congressional leaders have been told,
IL will be circumvented by adjourning
the present session and calling an
other special session Immediately.
