When the time comes to seek cred
it, a bank will want to know what
you ARE as well as what you HAVE.
THta where the moral hazard
comes in.
And you can't establish credit over
night. Rather, it is a matter of be
coming KNOWN at your bank, of es
tablishing confidence by the way in
which you have kept your account,
regardless of the amount you "have
to your credit.
Get acquainted that's the first
thing. Then develop that acquaint
ance into friendship. It will stand
you in splendid stead when the time
comes. Remembering also, that this
bank offers you a complete banking
service.

Dee Uotnes, Is, Speaking before
the general conference of the Metho
dist Epoficopal Church, Henry P. Davi
son, chairman of the Board of Gov
ernors of the League of Red Cross So
cieties, said: "As chairman at the
convention of Red CrosB societies com
posed of representatives of twenty
seven nations that met recently In
Geneva, 1 am custodian of authorita
tive reports recording appalling con
ditions among millions of people liv
ing in eastern Europe.
"One of the most terrible tragedies
of the history of the human race is be
ing enacted within the broad belt of
territory lying between the Baltic and
the Black and Adriatic seas.
"This area includes the new Baltic
states Poland, Ciecho-Slovakfa, The
Ukraine, Austria, Hungary, Roumania,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia,
"The reports which come to us
make it clear that in these war-ravaged
lands civilization has broken down.
Disease, bereavement and suffering
are present in practically every house
hold, white food and clothing are in
sufficient to make life tolerable.
Men, women and children are dy
ing by thousands, and over vast once-
clviliaed areas there are to be found
neither medicinal appliances nor medi
cal skill sufficient to cope with the
devastating plagues. ,
Wholesale starvation Is threatened
In Poland this summer unless she can
procure food supplies In large quanti
ties. There are now approximately
250,000 cases of typhus in Poland and
in the area occupied by Polish troops.
Worst Typhus Epidemic in History.
"This Is already one of the worst
typhus epidemics In the world's his
tory. In Gallcia whole towns are
crippled and business suspended. In
some districts there Is but one doctor
to each 150,000 people.
'In the Ukraine, we were told, ty
phus and influenza have affected most
of the population.
A report from Vienna, dated Febru
ary 12, said: 'There are rations for
Urree weeks. Death stalks througn
the streets of Vienna and takes un
hindered toll.'
'Budapest, according to our informa
tion, is one vast city of misery and
suffering. The number of deaths is
double that of births.
'Typhus and smallpox have Invaded
the four countries composing Czecho-;
Slovakia, and there is lack of medi- j
cines, soap and physicians.
'Mn Serbia typhus has broken out
again and there are but 200 physicians
to minister to the needs of that entire
country.
Returning to the United States
few weeks ago with all these horrors
ringing in my ears, I found myself
once more in a land whose granaries
were overflowing, where health and
plenty abounded and where life and
activity and eager enterprise were in
the full flood.
asked myself : 'What If tnls plague
and famine were here In the great
territory between the Atlantic sea
board and the Mississippi valley, which
roughly parallels the extent of these
ravaged countries and that 65,000,000
of our own people condemned to idle
ness by lack of raw material and
whose fields had been devastated by
invasion and rapine were racked by
starvation and pestilence and if we
had lifted up our voices and invoked
the attention of our brothers In happier
Europe to our own deep miseries and
our cries had fallen on deaf ears
would we not in our despair exclaim
against their heartlessness.'
Only Three Ways to Help Europe.
"There are only three ways by which
these stricken landB can secure sup
plies from the outside world. One is
by payment, one by credit and the
third is by exchange of commodities.
If these peoples tried to buy materials
and supplies in America at the present
market value of their currencies
Austria would have to pay forty times
the original cost, Germany thirteen
times, Greece just double, Czecho
slovakia fourteen and Polsnd fifty
times. These figures are official and
are a true index of the economic pligot
of these countries. ;
"It is clear, therefore that they can
not give us gold for the things they
must have, nor have they either pro
ducts or securities to offer in return
for credit. If only they could obtain
raw material which these Idle millions
of theirs could convert into manufact
ured products they would have some
thing to tender the world In return for
its raw material, food and medicine.
But if they have neither money nor
credit how are they to take this first
great step towards redemption. One
half the world may not eat while the
other half starves. How long do you
believe the plague of typhus that is
taking a hideous death toll in Estbonia
and Poland and the Ukraine and eat
ing along the fringes of Germany and
Csecho-Slovakla will confine Itself to
these remote lands?

sailed for the other side just to meas
ure the danger and take precaution
against such an invasion.
"This is one menace at our '.hi sshold.
The other, more thrca.ten:LX nu:e ter
rible, is the menace of. t!: world's ill
will. We can afford to die, but to be
despised forever as a greedy and Phari
saical nation Is a fate that we must
not incur.
"The French government has many
serious problems to solve, but the
French peasantry is working and the
French artisan, while still sadly in
need of raw materials, has not lost bis
habit of industry and thrift
"Italy, despite her great shortage
of raw material, is looking forward
and not backward. Italy can be relied
upon to do her part.
England is meeting the problems
of reconstruction just as those who
knew her past should have expected
her to meet them.
Plan to Aid Central Europe.
"It in net for me perhaps to give
in detail a formula for solution of the
world's ills, but as I have been asked
many times, 'What would you do?' I
am glad to give my own answer.
"Accordingly, I would ask:
"First. That congress immediately
pass a bill appropriating a sum not
to exceed 1500,000,000 for the use of
central and eastern Europe.
"Second. That congress call upon
the president to appoint a nonpolltlcal
commission of three Americans, dis
tinguished for their character and ex
ecutive ability and commanding the
respect of the American people. Such
a commission Bhould include men of
the type of General Pershing, Mr,
Hcover, or ex-Secretary Lane. I
would invest that commission with
complete power.
"Third. I would have the commis
sion instructed to proceed at once, ac
companied by proper personnel, to
survey conditions in central and east
ern Europe and then act for the restor
ation of those countries under such
conditions and upon such terms as
the commission Itself may decide to
be practicable and effective. Among
the conditions should be provided that
there should be no local interference
with the free and untrammeled exercise
by the commission of its own preroga
tive of allocating materials. Govern
mental politics should be eliminated;
unreasonable and prejudicial barriers
between the various countries should
be removed, and such substantial guar
antees as may be available should be
exacted in order that the conditions
imposed should be fulfilled.
"Fourth. As to financial terms, I
should make them liberal. I would
charge no Interest for the first three
years; for the next three years six
per cent, with provision that such In
terest might be funded if the economic
conditions of the country were not ap
proaching normal, or if its exchange
conditions were so adverse as to malic
payment unduly burdensome. 1 should
make the maturity of the obligation
16 years from its date, and I should
have no doubt as to its final payment.
Fifth. Immediately the plan was
adopted I would have our government
invite other governments in a posi
tion to assist, to participate in the
undertaking.
"Sixth. To set forth complete), ray
opinion, I should add that in the final
Instructions the American people
through their government, should day
to the commission:
" 'We want you to go and do this
job in such a rummer as, after study, ;
you . think It should be done. This
Is no ordinary undertaking The '
Aruerjcan Repi'le trust you to see that
It is done right.'
. "I would also say to the commis
sion: " 'Use as much of this money as Is
needed.' Personally I . am cenfident
that with the assistance and co-operation
which would come troin other
parts of the world the sum of $500,
000,000 from the United States would
be more than enough to start these
ccuutrieB 'on their way to self support
and the restoration of normal condi
tions. "The whole plan, of course. Involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that of obtain
ing the money, whether by issuing ad
ditional Liberty Bends, an Increase in
the floating debt or by taxation. But
I tbink we could properly, say to the
treasury department:
" 'We know how serious your finan
cier problems are; we know the dif
ficulties which are immediately con
fronting you; we know the importance
of deflaticn, and we knew that the
government must economize and that
individuals must economize, but we
also know that the American govern
ment advanced $10,000,000,000 to Its
allies to attain victory and peace. Cer
tainly it is worth making the addition
al advance in order to realize the peace ;
for which we have already struggled, I
for nothing is more certain than that
until normal conditions are restored
rtn Europe, there can be no peace.'
"Above all things, I would Bay that
whatever action is taken should be
taken immediately. The crisis Is so
acute that the situation does not admit
of delay, except with the possibility of
consequences one hardly dares con
template. "The situation that I have spread
out here is tar beyond the scope of
individual charity. Only by the actl.m
of government, our own and the others
whose resources enable them to co
operate, can aid be given in sufficient
volume. I am also cenfident that our
action would be followed by the gov
ernment of Great Britain, of Holland,
of the Scandinavian countries, of
Spain and Japan, and that France and
Belgium and Italy, notwithstanding all
of their losses, would help to the best
of their ability."
BENEFITS OP INSURANCE
lln a recent public .Address Hon.
Morris Sheppard, senator from Tex
as, paid the following beautiful tri
bute to the work of our fraternal
beneficial societies:
"Insurance in its various forms is
the principal pillar of modern pro
gress. It is the chief conserver of
human effort. It is perhaps the
greatest material factor in the
world's present development. It gives
certainty and steadiness to all enter
prise. It represents the supreme en
deavor of mankind to eliminate
chance and to disarm misfortune.
It is the Promethian flame, the Ti
tan's ladder of modern aspiration.
There was never a more mistaken
notion tlian that which holds insur
ance to be essentially a gambling
transaction. Strangely enough, this
idea once obtained to such an extent
that insurance was denounced by law
as a form of gambling. In point of
fact, insurance is the very opposite
of gambling. Its object is to reduce
the element of chance to such a de
gree of certainty that its evil re
sults may be absolutely neutralised..
Applying the doctrines of averages
and peculiarities of all life and busi
ness, it seeks to build a shield
against every feature of uncertainty
in both. The man who has no in-
surance is the real gambler. He bets
.that he will .prosper and grow strong.
He bets that disease will not lay its
fatal finger on his brow. He bets
that he wilt live sufficiently long to
educate his children and provide a
competency for those depending on
him. Staking the happiness of his
family on the issue, he gambles with
destiny and trifles with the loaded
dice of death. If, on the other hand,
he has insurance, he makes certain,
in so far as lies in human power, the
protection, of his family and his
home. He eliminates to the extent of
human foresight and prudence the
unknown qualities in the treacherous
equations of existence. Insurance is
a man's chief weapon against the
vagaries of fortune. Its results are
certainties, not lotteries certainties
based on laws as fixed and changeless
as all the other laws of nature and
of God."
