Sheriff Carl Wad man was commended for his care and maintenance of the present institution. Mrs. Sue C.aylor, matron at the Home for the Friendless and Frank I'ctro, superintendent at the county infirmary were also commended for the careful performance of their duties. Delay Coal Probe Recause the state board of accounts had nor finished its examination or the books of the city and county, the grand jury reported itself unable to investigate the matter of coal contracts for t he light plant, a subject which Judge Rond had mentioned in his instructions 10 the men.

GRANT MORATORIUM

TO ITALIAN BANK

(By Associated Press)

ROME, Dec. 30 The Ranca Italians di Sconto, th" doors of which were closed yesterday, has been granted n nc rat oritim by court action.

The Italian government yesterday nnnounced a modified moratorium permitting suspension by certain corporations of payment of obligations through court decree. After the announcement the Banca Italiana di hconto closed its doors. It was stated that the government action was taken lo assist the institution, which is one of the largest of its kind in Italy. It has not been established that the bank actually has failed and there is ;i tendency in some quarters to believe that the crisi.i may be overcome. The incident lowered Lire exchange vesterday. which went from 22.90 to ihe dollar in the morning to 23.50 in ihe afternoon.

The Banca Italiana di Sconto was the place where most Americans transacted their business in Rome. The moratorium granted the bank under the court's action is effective for cme year. The court appointed Comniendatore Tomaso de Angelis of Home, who is a director of the Banca di Napoli, as referee. Meanwhile the Ranca Italiana di Sconto is continuing all operations ( xcrpt payments, which, it is stated, will be resumed as soon a.s the tribunal limits the amounts which may be withdrawn daily. TURIN, Italy, Dec. 30. The Industrial league here has sent a circular to its members in conection with the suspension of payments by the Banca Italiana di Sconto of Rome, pointing out that this institution is the only one involved in the financial crisis. The brokers have sent a commission to Rome to take up with the government the question of the position of exchange, which has been aggravaed liv the crisis.

vanced behind a barrage of platitude. The Work of Public Opinion In the first place, the common man has seen what public opinion can accomplish. For it. was undoubtedly public opinion that created the conference and that deserves credit for whatever it. may accomplish. The Borah resolution, providing for such a gathering, at first attracted no attention at all. Neither the American government nor any of the other governments seemed at all interested in it. But the Borah suggestion had fallen on fertile popular soil. It soon became apparent to the administration that there was a general popular demand for such a gathering. Thus the average man is brought to realize that he is the ultimate arbiter in matters of peace and war. If the common man would not. fight and paytaxes, there would be no wars. If governments could rot drum up a war to decide who shall have the oil in Mesopotamia or the trade in Mongolia, then the oil and the trade would

De peaceably divided up. Of course,! the trouble is that some peoples make

more rapid progress than others in getting over their capacity for be ng fooled. A people with something left in them of the medieval war spirit is a menace to the whole world. None the less in this slow but steady popular, revulsion against war is the one real hope of permanent peace. Doubtless a great world tribunal will

also be necessary, but that organization will simply be an expression of the popular will against war, and until such a will has been developed, no international organization will be any more effective than the league ot nations Is. To realize the slow growth of this will against war, you must look a long way back. You must remember that in medieval rlava fcinTa marto ootwob.

them. Now everv war is mnrio with fW'iillli'

elaborate apologies, and with a thou

sand pretensions of high moral intent. The real rulers of modern nations are simply the property-owners in them, and these property owners make war for profit just as the medieval kings did, but their puppets, the politicians, must provide for them a vast smoke screen of apology and pretense. Fooling the Public In other words, once it was not even necessary to fool the common man. Now it is necessary to fool him, but how painfully easy it is! The question now is to what extent he can get over his amazing capacity for being fooled. Just before we entered the World war the American people were

in a most pacific mood. They did not

want war. They re-elected a president! because he had kept them out of war.! The actual declaration of war found the greater part of the country indifferent, apathetic. And yet within a few months a state of hysteria had been worked up such as was never exceeded in the Middle Ages. By a dozen awful bugaboos the people were harassed into a state of feverish bellicosity. It is not meant by this to impugn the motives with which we entered the World war, but simply to recall, in a period of reaction against war, how easily the war spirit is worked up with flags and drums and speeches. Some wars are just wars and some wars are necessary, but the point is that the methods by which wars are made are not in the least dependant upon the merits of the case. Our attack on
