UNSHAKABLE CREDIT It doe no harm for a person to step back one In a while and try to got a broad-perspective view of , this country and its doings. Just aow the question of finances is up permost In the public mind. How bout Uncle Sam's credit? ' Treasury officials at Washington predict that we will raise the sum f fl4.000.000.000 within a year. This will hardly more than scratch the surface of the nation's re sources. It would be little more than Uncle Sam's loose change. It would . take f 100,000.000.000 in bonds to put this country as deeply ' la debt as are France,. England and Germany today. Nobody questions tbi solvency of France and England. Secretary McAdoo, In addressing Iba national bankers' convention at , Atlantic City recently, pointed out that the resources of national and state banks in the United States are bow f 37.000.000.000. At the out break of the Civil war, the resources of all the banks were only about $1,- MO.000,000. With these limited re sources, the nnlon government rais ed $3,000,000,000 In bond sales, or , twice the total banking resources of the country. On that basis, this country should be able to raise $74,000,000,000, a ram far In excess of any probable outlay by this nation. It Is reassur ing that we can raise all the needed funds for prosecuting this war with out straining the credit or business routine of the country In the least. SOUND INVESTMENT In thinking of the Liberty loan which the government Is asking the people of the nation to take up, let It be clearly fixed in the mind that citizens are not asked to donate their money, they are asked to make the safest and one of the most pro fitable Investments of their spare savings that could be Imagined. Back of every Investment In this country Is the United States govern ment and Its property laws. The government has the power to tax the entire country, every individual, ; .every business and every piece of property, to fulfill Its promises to pay its bonds. If It were possible to think that the government would have troulile to meet these obliga tions when due, the value and sta bility of every business enterprise In the nation, the security of every piece of property ownership. would be vitally affected. Thus the Llber ty bond Is virtually a mortgage on every railroad, every manufactury every piece of land In this, the rich est nation on earth. The United States could raise!

There will be no especial week set aside for the collection of this fund but it will be gathered together within the next two or three weeks. Telegrams already are arriving from many cities In all parts of the country, stating that they will do their part towards helping to win the war In this way. SHETLAND PONIES ARE SCHOOL ESSAY PRIZES Portland, Oct. 17. Three beauti ful, high-bred.

IS E Toklo, Sept. 20 (Correspon jdence of the Associated Press) The construction of six new destroyers , for the purpose of naval repletion at I a cost or $6,000,000 Is to be started shortly and the work will be expedit ed to complete them within the pres ent fiscal year ending April next. (The destroyers will all.be of mid dle size and be named the Nara, Kuwa. Tsubakl. Makl. Keyaki and Enokl respectively. The building of the following bat tleships, cruisers and destroyers Is to begin soon at the navy dock yards land at shipbuilding yards at N'agas akl. Battleship Mutsu, (Nagato type) with a displacement of 32,000 tons; Cruiser Tama, with a displacement of 7,800 tons; Cruiser Kuma. with a displacement of 3,500 tons, and first class destroyers Kawakaze, Minekaze and Sawakaze, each of about 1,200 tons. The battleship Mutsu will carry the largest and most powerful main gun ever mounted op any battleship of the Japanese navy, and the cruis er Tama will be the largest warship of the kind In the Japanese navy. The first class destroyer Kawakaze. which will he one of the largest des troyers in the Japanese navy, is the substitute for the destroyer of te same name whl-h was built In France after the outbreak of the European war and was sold later to, an entente power. Besides these warships a big njn cial service ship with a displacement of 12,000 tons and five submarines, each displacing 700 tons, will be built at the Kure navy dockyard. I j Chrlstlanla, Oct. 17. Tho Ger man plans for destroying the world's commerce have failed, says the Xor- 'wegian Shipping Magazine, which adds that "there Is no gnat dsngur .of the dlsappeuranre of men-hunt ships from the tsaa by reason of torpedoing for at least tea years." The article la atconipanlvd by a hart showing the curve or Knillsh and French losses tor four months. March to June, "The allies have every reason to be of good courage when they look back on these re sults," says the writer, "and they msy await the future lT-boat war with confidence. The chart curve show favorable result for KiiKland. 4itd this may be ascribed partly to the arming of merchant ships." He believes that the story or II IS-IK will be repeated, that "the l'-bmit will lie crippled uuless or until the central powers ran find new Inven tions which will make them poser ful enough to gain the upimr hand again." Another reason for this favorable results, says the writer, I the fact that when the U-boat war started Id March, Germany sent out every U-boat she could muster, good, bad. and Indifferent, and the English de fense, which was ready, "reaped a rah harvest and crippled the dan gerous enemy for the ensuing months." Failure of the submarine war also la attributed In part to faulty construction of the latest Qsrmaa U-boat FLIGHT OF THE MOSQUITO. The Malaria Lactsi Fttt Rarsly Travels Mart Than a Mil.
