have been the worlds last war and
which was to have inaugurated an era
of universal peace and reduced arma =

dat the increasing of the military
burden Of almost every country III

In fact the only exceptions are thos
defeated countries whose ornaments

even these and notably Germany
Austria-are doing everything in their
power to escape the treaty clauses
and increase their armies to a much
larger basis than is now stipulated.
Even the United States, presumably
the most peaceful country in the
world, has failed to escape from the
mania for increased armies which the
last war" has entailed.
Burden Is Heavy
Coupled with the increased cost OF
living, these increased ornaments and
their increased cost of, maintenance
will throw on the people OF every
country in the world a military bur
den infinitely larger and more crush
ing than was borne before the war
The only thing that makes it seem
supportable at all is that if it is more
than what it was before the war. it is
at least less than what the military
expenses were during the war.
While all nations of the world have
not yet succeeded in recognizing their
armies on the basis which the recent
war appears to have rendered neces
sary, yet in almost every country the
reorganization projects are under con
sideration.
While, theoretically, the question OF
the militay force TO be maintained is

Minneapolis Banks Announce Raise To
Highest Level Ever Charged.

Minneapolis, April 28.-Minneapolis
banks today increased interest rates
from 61a to Z per cent. This is the
highest rate Minneapolis banks have
charged for loans since November,
1914, which was in the fall of the
year, when demands for money for
crop financing were large.
Banks are taking this action re-
luctantly," said z. w. Decker, presi-
dent OF the Northwestern National
bank of Minneapolis, but 1t is neces-
sary, that we clear the decks for the
financing of the grain crop three
months hence.
Bankers have been forced to raise
the rate fer two reasons: First, COM
mercial paper brokers nave been
charging ! per cent and commission,
forcing millions of dollars OF paper on
the banks which have been charging
6h per cent; second, many people
will not take notice Of the present
situation until they are confronted
