The money is pjust iling up in
this countrj' while the war continues,
the experts tell us. A few
hatfuls of the filthy lucre would
be acceptable to this pencil
pusner just now.
The sinking of the great ocean 1
liner by a German submarine
and the loss of life incident
thereto present to our government
by far the most difficult
problem that it has been called
upon to face during the present
administration. On one side are 1
the jingoes who clamor for war
at every turn of national affairs,
and on the other are millions of
good people who dread to even
think of the horrors of war but
who resent the insults,Germany
is heaping upon our government
and our people bv her senseless
policv of attacking merchant vessels
carrying Americans and
other neutrals.
In this policy many see cause
why the United States should
join the Allies in their attempts
to crush the Germans. However
a good majority of American
citizens look deeper into the
subject and see thai it would be
folly_tQ plunge our millions of
?tnen, women and children into
a death grapple because a few
fool-hardy Americans refused to
heed the warnings of danger
and have paid the penalty of
k their unwise course. It is un^
to%^n*^rof7^2^em
into the dangers and hardships
of war because a few who call
themselves Americans have fallen
victims to the naval policy
of one of the belligerents, the
danger of which they seem to
have courted.
. The United, States will not
^ enter the war, unless we miss
^ our guess, for at the head sits a
calm, level-headed man who
puts his trust in God and uses
good horse sense in dealing with
the great international problems
as thev present themselves.
Staggering Piles of Money.
Charlotte Observer.
The rate at which this counA
1 ?
iry nas Deen piling up money
while the war is going on al- 1
most challenges comprehension.
Financial statement the past
week show that the National
banks of the United Statss are i
carrying excess reserves of over
$734,000,000 above the legal re- i
quirements. This tremendous !
accumulation of money is i
largely due to the operations of
the Federal reserve banking i
system, and it indicates the pre- I
paredness of this country to take 1
advantage of the situation that 1
will be presented when the war
shall come to an end. The re- i
serve surplus already in hand <
would permit the National
banks to double their present
line of credits. It would even i
now be possible to extend i
credits by the sum of $5,000,000- ;
000. These figures give some <
idea of the rate at !?? ?? <
iyUIV I
pean money is being poured into '
this country, for the war condi- i
tions have created much of this '
wealth. In nine months the <
trade balance in favor of the i
United States has reached an ex- i
cess of $720,000 of exports over i
imports, and is still crowing? I
in fact may be said to be just s
beginning to grow. Those who 1
feared the European war would i
break the United States made a i

Girl Attacked - By Boy at
Monroe.
The Monroe Enquirer gives
the following account of a bold
attack of a boy in knee pants at
the limits of the town of Monroe:
Clure Brown, aged about thirteen
years, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. Brown who live
about a mile from town on the
Griffith road, was coming to
town yesterday morning about
10:30 o'clock and when she
reached the incorporate limits
she met a white boy, apparently
about fifteen or sixteen years
old, who seized her rammed a
pocket handkerchief in her
mouth, dragged her into the
woods on the west side of the
road, knocked her down and
beat her face and breast with
b??-*ists c?l-scratched her neck.
The little girl put up a brave
fight, got the handkerchief out
of her mouth and screamed for
help. The boy then ran and the
little girl went rapidly back to
her home and told of what had
occurred.
Officers and citizens went at
once to searching for the bov
who had attacked the little girl,
tried to track him with hounds,
but could not find a trail.
The little girl is intelligent
and giyes a good description of
the boy and says that she can
identify him. Officers are on
the lookout and it is hoped that
the right one will be apprehended
and properly punished.
No bolder thing has been
done than that the boy in knee
pants did. The road on which
the little girl was attacked is a
public one and there is considerable
travel over it. There are
houses near where the attack
was made and it was made in
the glare of bright day. j
