The strength of any government is the

The government is also actively urging
its people, even the poorest, to save and to
invest in these securities. = Tot
The fundamental principle of sound in
vestment should never be lost sight Of. 1t
is that the less one has to invest the more
he should look for safety rather than
high interest. 90 ri J# .i.lf esii

BELFAST, October 15.-Sir James
Craig. tho Ulster premier, in an ad-
dress hero today dealing with the Irish
conference fn progress in London and
with listers position regarding it,
made remarks which were regarded as
a strong intimation that he expects to
participate in the peace negotiations.
During Sir James address he said
he might -.ot have an opportunity of
making another public speech for some
time, "as !. may be engaged in most
delicate operations regarding the future
Of our beloved country

Remember this: Don't be over elated

Sir James said some people thought
the only way to obtain peace was for
Ulster to give way in some direction.
They seem to think" he said,
that nibbling at Ulster is like a
much impression at first, but if the
mouse goes on for a month or two
the cheese disappears. That is the
effect of nibbling.
Some people. too, think the only
way to knock down a wall is with a

OF FOOD
THREATENED IN D. c.
Three Railroads Would Be
Immediately Affected by
Big Strike.

Washington. along with the rest Of
the country, would feel the effects of
a tie-up in shipments of food supplies
and other necessities if the employees
Of all the big roads should be called
out, local railroad men said last
night.
The latest information last night
was that the first strike order will
call out only three roads operating
through Washington-the Pennsyl-
vania, Southern and the Seaboard
Air Line-on october 80.
Might Lose $50 Men.
W. w. Bowie. local superintendent
of freight for the Pennsylvania, esti-
mated at an earlyN hour this morning
that approximately $50 employees of
his road In and around Washington
might be lost through strike order.
He pointed to the possibility, how
ever. that all of them would not quit
work.
Mr.. Bowie estimated that the Wash
ington Terminal Company has about
1,600 men who might be affected by
a strike order.
The superintendent said the District
probably would not suffer from a
shortage of necessities if only the
three roads mentioned above are in
volved in the strike. The Baltimore
and Ohio and other roads running
into Washington could take care of
the city, he pointed .uot.
Food Little Ahead Of Needs.
Just what conditions would be in
Washington If the workmen of all
roads are later called out Mr.. Bowie
would not venture a prediction. He
expressed the belief, however, that
shipments of food and other neces-
stiles are not much ahead of the de-
mand here.
Asked if he has taken any steps yet
to recruit workers to fill the places
of the $50 Pennsylvania trainmen in
the event they quit on October 30, Mr..
Bowie said he had received no word
from his company regarding the
strike and has not taken action.
