GIBBONS TELLS
Of ARN|ST|CE :

What really happened at the
greatest capitulation in the
history of the world, u hours
before the armistice was signed,
is told today by Floyd Gibbons
in the current Cosmopolitan for
the benefit of millions Of young
people who aren't old enough
to have that tremendous pano-
rama of 1918 burned into their
minds"
The finish is the important
thing in every war, Mr.. Gibbons
points out, adding that nobody
could suspect that the end of the
World War would come in a
dense forest.
While millions were crushed by
the news that the first announce
ment of the armistice was an
error, a train bearing Marshal
Foch and his allied staff was
crawling over rails hidden by
boughs and camouflage, out into
Laigue Forest, and the German
armistice delegation was strug-
Cling across shelltorn roads. Mr..
Gibbons describes the tense scene
which took place at 9 a. M.
around a long table that had
been built into the dining car
of the Foch train. t-.

If lending organizations will not do

closures increased by leaps and bounds
as men whose mortgages were called
found 1t impossible to get new money
elsewhere.
No longer does any excuse exist for q
continuance of this situation. The Home
Loan Banks are open. Every honestly
managed building apd loan association,
savings bank or insurance company in
the United States is eligible to join
the system either as member or q
non-member borrower. Once in the
system, they can borrow funds with
which to make new loans-with which
to take over mortgages on which pay
ment has been called. It is true that
the Home Loan Banks may loan them
only up to 40 per cent of the value of
the property on which they hold a
mortgage or upon which they make a
new mortgage. But that need not in
terfere with their making greater loans.
Everyone of them has additional mort
cages which it already owns. 1t can
bring an old mortgage plus the new
one to the Home Loan Bank and get

the two properties-get enough to make

rightfully theirs-by lifting with the
funds collected from the neighborhood,
the threat to any neighbor.
OF course, there are cases where prop
erty has been overmortgaged already
and cases where the arrearages of in
terest and taxes, plus the face of the
mortgage, make 1t impossible for any
one 10 aid. We do not expect any one
to make bad loans and we shall not do
1t ourselves. But any mortgage on a
home worth $40 1000 or less which would
have been procurable In normal times,
should be procurable now.
At our request, the Controller of the
Currency and the various State banking
authorities six weeks ago ordered a sus-
pension of foreclosures by receivers Of
failed banks. If the situation of the bor-
rover was not hopeless and we have
made a like request of other lenders.
Through these efforts, many hundreds
If not thousands of homes have been
saved to their owners. These loans
