It j was said there was no regard for the quality of thopt!uet and that th era of price cutting had brought about n marked lowering; of the standard. flieiaN of the association said the situation was at: ndant with serious tinaneial results, because the banks had many notes on cows which dairymen were unable to meet because of the low price which they received for milk. The assoiiation made an apjeal to the civic organizations to give their attention to the situation and see If it were possible to afford the relief which was said to be needed to save the industry. Princeton. Princeton banks report a shortage of nickels. One explanation Is that the Princetond'.vansville t motion line absorbs the nickels as fare. the conductors turning them in at Fort Ilranch.

"In Time of Peace WASHINGTON. A big United "States army potential and not actual is what the war experts nre striving for. Two lessons of the World war, learned at heavy cost, are sharply emphasized in a War department bulletin giving the first official picture of the new national defense structure projected In the reorganized army of the United States. Or.e lesson comes direct from the battlefield? of France. It is that efficient staff work is vital to modem military operations, and with It goes the contention that staff (functions cannot be learned over night. The other comes from the wartime din and confusion of the centralized training camps at home. It is that efficient mobilization of the nation's fighting strength can be carried out only as a decentralized process

TITTfTII the resumption of tariff hearVw i?s by the senate finance commit tee, congress will settle down for an all-winter grind on the revision of customs laws. Although February I has been fixed as the date to which the emergency tariff will be extended, no one seems to believe that congress will complete the enactment of permanent tariff legislation by that date. The date, February 1, was selected admittedly with a view to speeding up the progress of the permanent bill. When that date arrives congress undoubtedly will pass a hill again extending the time of the emergency tariff. The radical departure determined upon in the American valuation plan, which contemplates the abandonment of the policy of assessing import duties on the foreign invoice value, followed by the United States practically all the time for more than a century, has been the primary cause j of the slow pi-ogre made in revis ing the tariff law. The American valuation plan Is becoming more and more to be the slonn center of ponding tariff legisla Banks Sound, With mrem 3COMPAKATIVi; statement of the condition of reporting hanks, as shown by the last hank call, Is made hy Comptroller of Currency CrisMngor.

The galleryites are the regulars who are on hand to observe. Most of them are paid for their observations and are professionals at it. The "lobbyist" has long since been deceased in Washington. In this day of advancement in things political wo have 'legIslatlve agents." They are perfectly legitimate workers. These legislative agents are "master minds."

Prepare for War!"

through agencies set up In times of peace. Idealization that these lessons must he worked into the new military policy, if perilous delay and costly confusion which preceded past mobilizations were to be avoided, has marked the effort of the War department. The bulletin shows It has attempted to write regulations under the revised national defense act that would furnish a clean-cut scheme for waf mobilization without violating national traditions against militarism or creating machinery that would Impose heavy bürden' In peace times upon the taxpayers. The project undertaken probably Is the most far-reaching military effort the nation has ever attempted in peace times. The foundation work has been done. All over the country decentralized machinery is being set up capable, Its designers believe, of getting the nation on a war footing with little delay and confusion. The most important links In the new defense chain nre the regular army, the National fiuard and the Ofticers' Iteserve corps. Col. John Palmer, assigned to aid congress in framing the legislation, has devoted himself to a study of the subject. His work now Is to go to all parts of the new army and explain the workings of the new pljju. tion so far as business Interests throughout the United States are concerned. Republican members of the senate committee already have gone so far as to approve definitely the American valuation plan, a substitute provision having been framed in place of the section of the house bill covering this subject. The substitute plan also has been concurred in by Republican members of the ways and means committee, sii that ns the situation now stands the Pepubliean majority in both committees are so far committed to the principle that there seems no likelihood of its abandonment at any Inter stage in the proceedings.
