Th? InvcHlruent Bankers' Associa
tion of America Isn't particularly In
terested ul ueeiug one side or Ute
other win In tin? European war. Its
Interests are centered In thc pros
perity of the .United ?States. Its Judg
ment on thu Allies' lomi should there
fore hive, weight.
Al UH "convention In Denver thia as
Boclatlon adopted resolutions recall
ing the "financial nun industrial crisis
of an almost unparalleled naturi "
which rame last year with the out
break of the war, and remarking that
that crisis wah "averted through the
enormous foreign demand for the rpo
diiet? of American farms and factories
,aud the resulting increased demund
for labor." It then called attention
to tho presen i situation, with lnter
'mtlojul exchange running en strong
ly against our foreign customers that
they find thc greatest difficulty in
making payment for their goods and
^hesitate to give us additional orders.
Il lu a question, Bays the associa
tion, whether, thia remunerative for
eign business is going to be held or
lost. "The continuance of this demand
und the continued prosperity of the
country can only bc assured by pro
viding foroign credits in settlement
of a trade bulance estimated at over
H.GOO.O?O.OOO." The bankers, there
fore, willie not asking for a foreign
credit to equal this immense trade
balance, "approve the extension of
foreign credits, not os indicating
either partiality or prejudice, but
solely BS a matter of business, and
practically as necessary outcome of
existing conditions."
That ought to settle the matter in
the minds of those who are consider
ing only the welfare of the United
States.
If citizens with money to invest
havo a sentimental prejudice against
lotting the Allies havo it, or letting it
be used for any war purposes what
ever, that is their own affair. But
there should be no public opjections
to the loan on tho ground that lt ls
detrimental to American business.
Tho big credit loan 1B merely a de
vice by which somo Americans turn
their surplus money over to banks
which In turn pay it to other Ameri
cans who have tho money owing to
them. The lendors take British and
French bonds/boarlng a good rate ot
Interest. "' *. '
The only legit lmato argument
against *mch> an- hlnaestnteab* ls the
fear that the Allies are likely to be
?nfeated nnd bankrupted, so that
their bonds will never be poid. Any
citizen who is afraid ot such an out
como shouldn't buy any of tho bonds.
It ls worthy of note that disinterested
banking experta havo no fear of Eng
land or Prance defaulting.
TI: sir KU AN CE IN INDUSTRY
Tho ?MkhodJst..Temperance Society
has been investigating tho attitude cf
American industry toward liquor, with
rather surprising results. Its inquiry
covered tho iron and . steel trades of
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois and West
Virginia, embracing- the most impor
tna plants in that great manufactur
ing region. Corporations tc the num
ber of 120 answered tho society's
questions.
From the data' gathered, it appears
that only si-, out of tho 120 permit
tho old custom which waa almost uni
versal not many years ago, of sending
out tor boering during working
hours. ' . 1 .*. .?
Ono hundred concerns say that they
not only forbid drinking during thc
working time but do everything pos
sible to prevent drinking by. their em
ployes out ot hours. Most of them
have not ventured to demand teeto
talism among their mon, hopause lt
would bo resented. Ten companies,
howover, absolutely prohibit'drinking
at any time. Eighty-three report that
in employing and promoting men they
discriminate against those who use
alcoholic liquors, even to the most
"moderate" extent Sixty-three con
cerns hove made careful investiga
tions to determine the Influence of
liquor, in moderate amounts, on
working efficiency and reliability, and
?ll testify that It 1- indubitably bid.
It ls wejl known that transporta
tion companies, particularly the big
railroads, have for some time boen
enforcing drastic prohibition rules. It
ts has not ' been realised, however,
that lo manufacturing trades where*
moderate drinking waa but lately in
dulged as a matter of course, and aa
.ven salutary and necessary, alcohol
*s now treated as an enemy to health
and efficiency and may soon be -sub
jected to unconditional banishment.
MEDICAL TRIUMPHS.
The war doesn't check all whole
sale progress, by any means. Ia the
reams of surgery and medicine-lt is
promoting progress-fox the ve';/ rea
son that doctora ham more material
to work on, and can apply their theor
lefl more freely under ordinary condi
tion?.
In the notable advance made since
the war b< gan, American physicians
have played a conspicuous part. A
nurse Just returned from servi'-; with
the American ambulance corps in
France tells how the medical profes
sion in France has been astonished at
tlie daring feat? performed by our
Burgeons. They have been particu
larly successful in grafting bones to
prevent disfigurements. Many of the
soldiers arc shot In the face and hid
eously mutilated. In a great many
cases their jaws ure shot away. Thc
surgeons have actually been making
"new face?" for thes.? unfortunate,
removing bone? from slain men or
from amputated limbs and using them
to build up shattered jaws and other
feature?.
It will be recalled that Dr. Alexis
Candi, American winner of the Nobel
prize for medicine, a pioneer in the
transplatlng of ??one and muscular
tlssuo, hus been working in Paris
since the war began, und hi? marvel
lous achievements have doubtless
been inspiration of the whole Ameri
can corps.
In curative and preventive medicine
cur own physicians have rendered
Bcrvico just as notable. The credit
for cleaning up disease-ridden Serbia
and eliminating the deadly typhus
plague is given chiefly to American
doctors. And their efTorts have by
no means been confined to aiding tho
Allies. There are many skilled Amer
icans serving in thc German and Aus
trian armies where their skilful and
unselfish labors have won just as high
praise.
The whole world will gain from the
ilesBous learned in this great war
Clinic. And wo, apparently, ?hall
gain most of all; for we aro likely
to get the benefit without having to
pay the price in dead, sick and wound
ed soldiers as subjects for the experi
ments.
THE SPECULATION FE YUH
Wall Street is at it again. The
mania for stock speculation has
reached a greater height than at any
time since the Civil War. Immenro
fortunes are being won and ICM by
big plungers; and little plungers aro
risking their money-and occasionally
their employer's money-with reck
lessness equal to anything known in
the wildest days ot the stock ox
change.
Two things are responsible for this
sudden outburst after several years
of comparative caution and conserva
tism: Thc boom in "war stocks" and
i the surfeit of money and credit When
industrial securities rise hundreds of
points in a two months, and some
ihavo done so, and occasionally jump
120 to |30 a share over night, no
wonder speculators lose their heads.
Much of the bull activity, however,
l<3 artificial. Tho big operators have
.i/cn playing the market for all it is (
worth, using the legitimate jump in
value of a few stocks to boost all
that have anything to do with thc
manufacturo of war supplies. Some
market quotations hundrds of per
cent higher than normal represent
purely theoretical value, based on
gueases at the profits on big war or
ders which may or may not be realis
ed. The public is being tooled into
believing that ?.bese stocks are worth
what they e.. o quoted at, and that all
"war stocks" are going to keep on
soaring indefinitely, so that a "bull"
purchaser can't lose.
Occosionally.of course, they do lose,
as a defaulting teller of a big New
York bank realised the other day to
his sorrow. Sooner or later, a great
many people all over the United
States ?re likely to lose. The man or
woman with a few thousand dollars
! to invest had better keep out of this
frensleu war' Speculation. The best
stocks to. buy . are standard American
stocks that don't depend on war or
ders or war resulta for their profits.

Military writers point out .that thev
Russians now are holding the Aus

ot nearly two million strongly een

the allied successes appear to have
