the scene of the struggle lias come to them. Much of the planning of the financial side of the war has taken place within the sound of the chimes of Trinity church. In lower Broadway, New York. By reason of our newly acquired leadership In the world's finances we know how Europe has financed herself to meet tlr- stniin of her treniendiiiis struggle. Money Is the sinews of war. We know how Europe lias kept her sinews pliant and e!liien t. America, therefore. is1 in a much bet

Mexican War. the t ivil War. and the Spanish American War, were of less magnitude than those which we face now, but comparatively they were much more serious. The banks and trust companies of this country, through which Europe has conducted much of her war financ-

j lng, are at one w ith the nation's Indus

tries In affording the government the resources with which to meet tha eventualities of war. For example, the Guaranty Trust Company, of New York, has recently reduced to book form its fund of Information on war financing. In a pamphlet entitled "War Loans and the United States." there is some rather striking information. One result of our new position as a world market, it points out, is a

world's supply. This is an increase of thirty-six per cent over the amount held by this country lu 1914, and upon us is thrown the obligation of employing it intelligently. We are discharging this obligation by using It as a basis for foreign loans and the extension of credit. Facin.j, as we do, the possibility of floating in this country not only European war loans, but also loans of our own, it Is comforting to realize that the financial strength of Great Britain and France has not been affected in the slightest degree by the tremendous strain to wfcich it has been subjected in the last two years and a half. The wealth and resources of botH countries are so enormous that there is no probability of loss through loans to their

governments. With all our tremendous resources and our present store of gold we may look rpon the possibility of a bond issue to meet the expenses of war with much optimism. After a three year test, such as the world never before had seen, the financial situation of Great r.ritain was such that the Right Hon. Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the British Exchequer, thus describes it: "If we were to end the war at the eud of the current financial year that is to say, on March 31, 1917 our present scale of taxation would provide not only for the whole of our peace expenditure and the interest on the w hole national debt, but also for a sinking fund calculated to redeem that debt in less than forty years, and there would still remain a surplus sufficient to allow me to abolish the excess profits tax and to reduce other taxes considerably.'

the garden of Allah at its doors. But the condition is otherwise, and while we hope to convert the Tribune to the necessity of preserving the dunes, it is a bard job. Now as for the poor taxpayers of our neighboring county of Porter we have this to say: The dune land is owned by non-residents, who will benefit or suffer by its use for The public. It is safe to say, however, they will get a fair price if the 'government takes the land. The Porter county folk lost nothing. Incidentally regarding the Waveriy beach road, it may be stated thai

the non-resident owners of Porter county sand dunes have paid $ I i'0,0m in Mrs. io tiian was

taxes to Porter county during the past ten yars. In return they got one ;r:ffitii.

bit of road, the Waveriy beach stretch, which cost $4,ori. Porter count used the $9t.fMX balance for other purposes. Really we think that neither the editor of the Tribune nor anyone else in Porter county has any complaint coming when land that yields no income, save where there are sand sales revenue, has to pay flOO.noo taxes and only gets four per cent of it back in improvements. As a matter of fact Porter county really owes the dunes some good roads. It also owes thanks to the people who are trying to popularize its confines, but most of all it seems to owe to itself to wake up and be broader in this matter.

GRIFFITH

DOCTORS DO THEIR BIT. Four Hammond doctors ate giving up their tint' in an tin-eitih and public-serving way these days in a form of instruct ion that is absoi ut civic valuable, to the recipients of it. They have Undertaken to teach about a hundred ladies in the mysteries of Red Cross work and have gone at the task in a systematic manner. The instruction is priceless tp the women, most of whom are married and have families of thir own, and though the doctors are undoubtedly taking money out of their own pockets, they ate enthusiastic about it. It is a great thing lor a woman to know what to do in the case of accident to a member of her family or her neighbor's family, and her knowledge of first aid work will he a great asset to her not'only in military but also civilian life. t We find as a rule that doctors are an unselfish lot of fellows. There is no hurrah nor notoriety about the bit th"y (oiiig for the flag, and they shun that, part of it. but they are doing it just ttte same and in calm and scientific way that no one else can do it. All glory to them.

The day before the vote on conscription in the house was taken Jcannette Rankin, the' Montana woman congressman, said publicly: "I have heard cf no one in the house who is supporting the president's conscription bill. Do you wish me to stand alone for this?" As there were over :;oo votes for conscription, it is not hard to imagine that Miss Rankin must have shut herself up in a closet somewhere.

.THE POOR DCXESTEIiS! Thank? to th extensive advertising given it by the Prairie club and the organization headed by A. F. Knotts, the highway leading to Waveriy beach is unable to properly take care of the traffic. The 12-foot macadam road is too narrow. As Westchester township has spent many thousands of dollars to build the highway to the lake, which is large enough to take care of the needs of the people of tre county, perhaps The Knotts crowd would be willing to take some or the money they are going to blow in on a pageant to make this highway safe for the crowds they intend bringing there next month. -Chesterton Tribune.

ADJUSTING THE STAR-SPANGLED IJANNER. .The Ohio State Journal calls upon its readers to omit the third verse when singing the dear old Star-Spangled Banner. This is because it contains a slur on England. When the beautiful piece of. literature was conceived in the mind of Francis Scoit Key we were at war with England, but passing time besides

j lending peace has cemented a great friendship. The verse in question reads I as follows :

And where is that band who so vaunMncly swore That the' havoc of- war and the battt'e's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of rh egrave. It is a good suggestion to leave the embarrassing part out of the na tlcual anthem.
