NO MONEY FOR MILITARIS1M

American bankers contemplating loans to foreign gov
have been asked by Secretary of State Hughes to
submit the proposed loans to his department for approval
There sound feason for such request and while the
government may have definite authority the banks
in this respect, they will do well to acquiesce.
The important point is what the money in any given
case will be used for There is fear at Washington that
made abroad this time may be applied not to leg
innate needs but to the increase of armament Any such
of American money would be regarded injurious to
the best interests of Europe and indirectly to
the United States because of its depressing effect on bus
development and its influence for greater armament
at a time when the powers ought to be disarmng
The government to have France in mind especi-
tally. Congressman Burton, member of the American
debt-refundng commission his return from abroad,
speaks pontedly of the big army maintained by France
five times that of the United States. 1t France Amer
leans will recall that prevented consideration of land
disarmament at the Washington conference last
winter and France has not yet ratified the treaty for
naval restriction.
Whatever the country seeking loans should be made
plain that enough American money has gone to Europe
already for purposes and that loans be
expected unless they to be devoted to purposes of
peace.

struction, but not cent for miarism!"

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE LATE
APPLES

By HOWARD R. GARIs

"Save me some, Nurse Jane! Save
me somel" cried Uncle Wiggily, as he
hoped into his hollow stump bungalow
one day, after having been out in
front sweeping the dried leaves into
piles to burn.
"Save YOU some of WHAT asked the
muskrat lady honsekeeper.
"Apple pie!' laughed the bunny -

swered Nurse Jane. cit must be the
cabbage pudding you smell. u boiled
over little and some got on top'of the
stove
"Oh. dear!' sighed Uncle Wiggily,
with his pink nose twinkling very fast.
-"' / IN so disappointed! / thought you
were making an apple pie.
"Well, | could make one if had the
apples, - said the muskrat lady house
keeper. "Only IN afraid that all the
apples have been gathered. The farm
ers have picked them all from the
ground and trees But if you find me
some late apples
Late apples?" cried Uncle Wiggily
in surprise. "What do you mean, Nurse
Jane, Do you mean you want me to
go out and catch some apples that are
late for school9''
Nonsense! OF course not! laughed
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "What ] said was
that most Of the early apples have been
gathered by the farmers, who pick the
fruit when it is ripe. But if you could
find a tree on which grow some late
apples-that is apples which get ripe
later than the early ones-l might
make you pie.
"T1l do iti'' cried Uncle Wiggily.
~ II 90 over to the farm of the KIND
| man who lets me take all the carrots,
cabbages and lettuce that | want. L m
sure if he has a late apple tree he
| will not mind if / pick some of the
fruit
s'I think that will be all tight, y
said Nurse Jane. "Hop along, Wiggy,
| and l III get ready to make the pie.
SO the bunny gentleman started off
over the fields and through the woods.
on his way to the farm where he hoped
grew some late apples.
Surely enough, when the bunny
reached the farm and hoped up into
tne 0rcHdTu, tHtTc WAS oho wv Wv"
some red apples still hanging on the
branches. They were apples that ripen-
ed later than most of the Others in the
orchard.
"Ah, now .for some pie!' thought
Uncle Wiggily.
But alas! When the bunny hopped
around under the tree not an apple
could he find on the ground, as he had
hoped. Uncle Wiggily could not very
well climb trees as squirrels can, and
the only way he expected to get apples
was to pick them up off the ground.
But none had fallen.- suppose they
were not ripe enough to fall, being
late apples that would be ready to pick
in November.
.Dear me!'' exclaimed Uncle Wig
aily, hopping around and around under
the tree, all the while twinkling his
pink nose, chow am going to get
apples for pie if they won I fall
down. Perhaps, if | tossed up some
sticks or stones i might knock off n
few apples.
| The bunny gentleman tried this, but
either he did not throw straight and
hard enough, or the apples were fastcu'
ed too tightly on the branches, TOR
mono dropped off.
| perhaps, can shake the tree, -
thought Uncle Wiggily. He tried, but
! he might as well have tried to shake
mountain.
