Germany, in her submarine war

rules of war. In the case of the
Ixisitania. she had a light to atop
the ship, search for contraband

to home port or, after removing th«-

But this the German submarine did
not do. Without warning, the tor

IDLE MONEY DOES
NOT GIVE PROSPERITY
Report« say that our Iwlancw of
trade with foreign countries amount*
to a round billion of dollars in our
favor. That it to say. we aril *
billion of dollars more stuff to tho*e
countries than we buy from them.
Bank reports from all over the
country tell of immense sum* of
money lying idle in their vaults. If
we consider iioth these fact*, one
would think we should be having
the moat flourishing time* in our
history. But a cloaer examination
gives the explanation. Quite a con
siderable of our very favorable bal
ance of trade m in the form of in
dustrial bonds which havelieen held
by Huropean capitalist*. They are
converting then* security* into cash
and we are the buyer*. In other
words, we are Pay ing our debt*.
The money Iving idle in the bank*
is not a good sign. It means that
it is not being actively employ««! in
trade, industries or improvement*.
In the northwest we feel it because
of the stagnation in the lumber in
dustry and in railroad building.
The intereat rates are too high for
the money to he employed in these
industries to any considerable ex

contributing factor, in that the
