Indianapolis district conference Of

Tuesday declared its confidence in

The conference challenged the
inference that young manhood can
be served best by encouraging armed

Cooperation Is Asked
The resolution drawn up by the
Indianapolis conference requested
that the leaders Of our nation and
the press of our land cooperate TO
the fullest extent in carrying out
the letter and spirit of the Kellogg
pact, and declares its conviction to
be that the highest patriotism no
longer is that which centers about
military defense"
Roy o. West. Chicago attorney

mortgage on "a basis of 50 per cent Of
the normal land value Of the farm, plus
20 per cent of the improvement value +"
A wide divergence Of opinion as to
what constitutes normal land value"
will be inevitable.
Therefore, relief from the measure
may come more quickly by a change In
the mental attitude Of the mortgagor
who is to be assisted than through any
nearby reduction in both his interest
charges and in the weight Of his debt.
This improvement in the mood Of the
petitioner for relief might quickly have
pronounced effect In the communi-
ties where the problem Of foreclosures
and of banks carried down by an ex-
cess of real estate In their assets most
needs to be solved.
In this connection q significant fea-
ture of the new bill is the setting aside
of $4,000, 900 by the Treasury to COM
pensate the banks for the reduction In
the interest rate on the mortgages
which they hold and which would be
exchanged for the proposed per cent
Federal Land Bank bonds. It Is pre-
sumed that there would be an intelli-
gent discrimination in managing this
feature of the bill, for, as President
Roosevelt stated in his message. some
Of the interest rates involved "are sc
unconscionably high as to be contrary
to sound public policy"

Market Loses Part of
Recent Gain.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Stocks reg
istered mild reaction today after their
sharp advance of Monday. Volume fell
of on the realizing, the losses were not
large, there was some recovery toward
the close, and, in general, the market
gave a good account of itself.
Commodities were strong all day.
Wheat closed 134 to 2as cents a
bushel higher. Other staples advanced
and held practically all the gains;
The interesting feature about the
stock market was the relatively bet
ter showing made by the public utili-
ties, which have been SO long in spec
ulative disfavor. Sugar stocks were
another group well supported.
First quotations were at new highs
on the recovery. The demonstration in
the market yesterday brought in large
buying orders at the opening today, the
execution of which not only advanced
prices but cong gssted business so that the
tape fell 2 minutes behind. New
buying and short covering were factors,
but the former was the more potent.
:. The reaction was natural after so
wide a rise. Enthusiasm toward the
market was tempered also by two ad-
verse QlVlu6uU OeVelOpILcIllS. NdSLi
Motors omitted the dividend on its stock
due at this time and General Foods re-
duced its quarterly disbursement to 40
cents a share, against so cents pre-
viously paid Losses of about 2 points
were registered by each of these issues.
1t was q reminder that imitation could
not be relied upon to maintain dividend
rates unless earned and unless their
declaration would not impair cash re-
sources.
The early rise was distributed over
the whole list, although American
Telephone & Telegraph did not partici-
pate. 1t opened unchanged and sold
off for a loss of point or two during
the morning in anticipation of an un-
favorable first quarter report. Steel
stocks, on the other hand, sold at new
highs on the recovery, although mostly
only by fractions. Opinion In the
street was that on any further advance
the steels would be the natural leaders
Allied Chemical reacted after the
demands of the shorts had been satis-
fed, much the same as American Tele-
phone did, and that was true OF other
issues in which the short account was
large.

NEW YORK, April 1l.-There are ap-
parently two distinct parts to the new
Federal Land Bank bill, which has been
proposed as means of obtaining relief
for owners of farm property.
One part deals with an exchange of
farm mortgages on revised basis of
Land Bank bonds to be guaranteed as
to interest, but not as to principal, by
the Government. The other involves a
proceeds of which payment will be made
to those who wish to settle their mort
gage problem on a cash basis and for
the purpose of retiring portion of the
present outstanding Federal Land Bank
securities.
Principal Not Guaranteed.
It is understood that the new bonds
may be placed on sale through the post
offices and that they will be available
in units as low as $25. From the stand
point of the investor who will be per-
mitted to subscribe to the new Federal
Land Bank bonds, the weak point in the
set-up of this issue is the failure of the
W sudA diiSCC VIC Pli1ASAPoa
of it. In cases where corporations
guarantee the interest on bonds but take
no responsibility for the payment of
principal at maturity, the investment
status of the obligation is materially
below that of bonds that carry full
measure of support by the guarantor.
In this instance it remains to be seen
Just what the spread would be between
the prices of the outstanding Federal
Land Bank per cent bonds, which,
while being quasi-Government obliga-
ton, are not in any degree guaranteed
by the Treasury, and the proposed 4
per cent new Federal Land Bank loans.
Obviously the latter have an edge"
on the former in spite of their partial
guarantee. This has already been ap-
parent in a decline in the price of all
Of the old Federal Land Bank bonds
have been under considerable pressure
since the new loan bill was announced.
The U. S. Treasury per cent bonds
due In 1854 which. of course, are guar
anteed both as to interest and prin-
cipal, are quoted around 104.
Taking these various types Of exist
ing and projected bonds as a measure,
there is some question whether any
large subscriptions could be obtained
to 4 per cent Federal Land Bank
bond, which is only partially guaran-
teed by the Government. There Is
understood to be a provision in the
new bond issue which would permit the
sale of the per cents at a discount.
Dealers in Governments believe this
would be required in order to effect a
satisfactory public sale of such bonds.
Issue May Be Expanded.
While the proposed new Federal Land
Bank bond issue has been limited to
81, ,0o0, ,000, 900. it may eventually be for
considerably larger sum. However,
this amount Is ample for the imme-
diate exchanges contemplated. Without
doubt, it would take long period of
time to absorb even this. The processes
of substituting the per cent bonds for
existing first mortgages on farm prop
erty will be complicated and slow. One
can already see the delays in arriving
at basis of exchange when the pro-
roSal is advanced tn reclassifv a

It is another source of irritation to our old-time baseball friends to
 see and hear so much agitation over the iron man" performances of Robert Moses Grove, who at one recent stretch appeared as re- lief pitcher in nine out of eleven
 successive games for the Athletics.
 Where do you get that stuff
 about Grove being such an iron man?' asks the old-timer No doubt he is as tough as they come,
 as durable as any in the business,
 nowadays, but what he has been doing is child's play by compari-
 son with real exhibitions of stam- ina by men like Radbourne, Walsh, Chesbro, Spalding, Johnson, Mo Ginnity and others.
