MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. IT. P)- Protected on all sides by well-drilled units of the new county ranger sys- tenn many Minnesota banks are in- stalling still another line of defense in the form of tear gas bombs.
 These, declares Fred P. Fellows, secretary, Minnesota Bankers asso- citation, have become increasingly popular since a band of robbers was repulsed when it attempted to rob a bank at Cold Spring.
 The regular wartime tear-gas bomb is being used by some institu- tions, but others adopting this plan are using ammonia, only. The gen. eral method is to conceal these bombs just inside the vault wall where they are easily exploded if drilled into.

To- take this squad in hand so that

Mr.. Eldridge's plan is to have these

Picking on Hylan.

They keep picking on Mayor Hylan
over in New York. Every day in
every way he is made the target of
some new attack. This is purely a
manner of chronology, for this is
campaign year in Greater New York
and the mayor is a candidate for re-
nomination. Recently his opponents
brought out a suggestive series of
secret communications between the
mayors Office and the headquarters
of a remarkably prosperous bonding
firm, a member of which is related
to his family. Then came the dis
closure that one of his favorites. a
former veterinary of the Fire Depart
ment, had set up as an architect
and made fat fees in the designing Of
municipal buildings. Now comes an
allegation that expert and special
counsel employed under the author
ity of the mayor for the conduct of
court cases in the name of the city,
lost 40 out of SO suits. The sugges-
ton is advanced that they were
picked for the purpose OF losing.
All this is highly encouraging to
the New York Republicans, who see
a chance for the election of a mayor
in case the incumbent decides to run
as an independent candidate and the
Democratic organizations of Man
haitian and Brooklyn unite on a reg
lular party nominee. There is less

The President admonishes the War
Department to make 1t clear to the
governors of the States that their re-

be purely voluntary and predicated on
what they consider to be to the best
interests of their States. There can

No Favored Debtor Nations.

The United States, In dealing with
it's foreign debtors. has insisted that
| each debt be considered separate and
has it insisted that the debts to Amer
lea be not linked up with German
reparations. The administration has
strongly opposed any debt funding
plan which would put the burden of
collecting reparations due from Ger
many to France, Belgium, Italy or
any of the other allied nations upon
the United States. The reparations,
in the view of this Government should
be collected by the nations claiming
reparations of Germany, and the debts
of those nations to the United States
must be handled on their own merits
and without connection with the debts
of those nations to others.
Notwithstanding the clearly indi-
Gated attitude of the American Gov
ernment, now comes suggestions from
Belgium and Italy, according to in
formation obtained in official circles,
United States be deferred until France
shall have arranged to settle her debt
to America. OF course, the United
States Government is desirous that
steps shall be, taken by France to
fund her debt. The matter has been
hanging fire for years. But the Gov
ernment also is desirous Of arranging
for the funding of the debts Of the
other nations.
Furthermore, Belgium is represent
ed as claiming that under the Paris
agreement for carrying out the Dawes
plan of settlement in Europe it is un-
derstood she will not pay the United
States certain debts until she shall
have received reparations from Ger
many to cover such payments. If
this attitude Of Belgium We're agreed
to, then the whole policy Of this Gov
ernment in opposition to having
America made the collector of repara-
tions from Germany in order to sat
isfy the debts Of the allied nations to
the United States falls to the ground.
France might well say in that event
that we could look to Germany to
settle Frances debt to the United
States.
The administration very wisely has
set its face against the manifest de-
sire of some Of the foreign creditors
to substitute, in a measure. the debts
of other nations for their debts to
America. 1t is seeking settlement, not
on harsh terms, of all the debts to
this country. 1t does not see why the
funding Of the Italian debt or the
Belgian debt should hang upon the
funding Of the French debt. Great
Britain. Of it's own accord, came for
ward and arranged to fund it's debt.
The United States would be glad to
see other nations take a like course.
But it could scarcely be expected to
say to any nation that it would not be
looked to for settlement until some
other nation also had done so. Each
debtor nation should feel it's own in
dividual responsibility.

THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN
IDEALISM. By Gustavus Myers:
BOni & IiVeright


This author makes a new use Of the
recognized and accepted facts of his
tory bearing upon the development Of
the United States. These facts he here
presents in evidence Of the idealiSm OF
country that has not infrequently
been named as the land of the dollar,
the domain Of generally hard-headed,
close.fisted citizenry. He goes back
to the beginnings Of our history, ad-
vancang step by step therefrom
through it's various periods in proof OF
the basic quality of our Americanism.
At the outset, there is religious liberty
for whose free exercise America was,
in part, settled and for whose per-
manent possession it subsequently
fought long and well. A clear count,
this, as an original and distinctive
contribution to the world Of ID to
the cause Of progress. Religit 40 e.
dom secured, the New World tul d
itself to the overthrow of monarchy
which still held them in bond despite
the separating fact of three thousand
miles of intervening sea. To their
first achievement was added that of
a free government formed and directed
by the people themselves. Even yet,
an aristocracy survived, most harm
fully apparent in its exclusions of
learning and culture. In time, edu-
cation itself became free for every
mans possession. In this drift of gen.
eral liberation, the black man was un-
shackled. And with so much accom-
plished along lines so broadly and use
fully applicative, there was a common
movement to release culture itself
from the inhibitions Of tradition, to set
it free as an expression of native
genius, of native outlook and pursuit.
The veneration of Old World culture,
as such, was being Jared out of its
high estate by a wholesome reaction
toward the production Of a new art to
project the great new vision of an ad-
vancing humanity. And an American
art took its stand from which it is
moving forward, not so fast, but at
a rate to prove the determination upon
which it is so consistently and right
fully placed.
But pointers, these citations, to
show the current Of this highly in
teresting study which Is filed with de-
tails in concrete proof of the march
Of America toward idealism. Where
in all history is to be found the prec-
edent of a people idealistic and to such
a preponderant degree that the nomi-
nal leaders simply expressed what the
people themselves felt and thought?
AS an idealistic Nation America has
proved that. after all. history is in an
incipient stage. The American people
have provided the surprise of ages in
writing an unprecedented species of
history and they will write more. The
most lavish dreamer cannot vision the
future possibilities embedded In this
invincible idealiSms"
