RIGA, November 30.—The United States government may soon be asked for funds, probably as a government Joan to be controled by the American relief administration, with which to 10 supply sufficient food and seed grain to provide for the entire 15.- 000,000 of starving persons in thel Russian famine district. A loan, under the plans informally discussed by the relief administra- tion in Russia, would not be made to the Moscow government, but to the provinelal governments In the famine region, guaranteed by the central government, and to be repaid at the time of the next harvest. $30,000,000 Is Needed. nount of the loan would be here in the neighborhvod of £50,000,000, which the relief admi Tration investigators believe would be sufficient to save virtually the en nine situation.

It was not pay day, for school chil- dren have no pay days, financially speaking. Still, there was a long line of students today in front of the Business High School Bank, which oc- cupies an inconspicuous corner on the top floor of the institution. In one hand they carried passbooks, in the other small amounts of money to be deposited to their credit. Business High School students have a reputation of being thrifty. 1f oth- erwise when they enter the institu- tion they soon adopt the habit of thrift, and in most instances uncon- iously.

Every vear all of the bank’s books are carefully pe- rused and audited by the adminis- trative officers of the public school system. With the name of the Washington High School Bank, the savings insti- tution opened in 1911, with Leon F. Cooper as president. Its work and progress was watched with much in- terest. At the end of its first year the bank had succeeded in securing more than 600 depositors and had on deposit over $1,000. Deposits Total $12,000. The bank last year had 1605 de- positors, while the amount held in de- posit totaled more than $12,000. It also received a considerable sum on its loans. Of the total amount on de- posit, more than $8.000 was deposited by the student body and the remain- ing §$4,000 was deposited by the vari- ous clubs and other organizations of the school. ank officers expect to reach the §20.000 limit on deposits this y r this amount is reached, largest on record. In fac has grown to such an extent that the department of business practice, which was instrumental in organizing it. pays little attention to its func- tions. The business practice depart- ment, however, had added to the bank’s equipment by purchasing several calculating and other ma- chines, which help to factilitate the work of handling the deposits of the students. Interest in the k is stimulated among the student-body by the stu- dent officers. These officers are chos- en from those students who excel in bookkeeping and arithmetic. How- ever, every student had an oppor- tunity to come a bank staff during his years at Busi- ness. The bank is one of the few organizations that every student can Join. Deposit Minimum Ten Cents.

Were they untrue to the home instinct or do they not rathe breathe the real strength of a n tion? Suppose the mothers of the early colonists had so educated their sons. would there have been a Lexingto or Concord in our history? Paul Revere had ch “To arms—to arm “Run “and hide, the British are coming”? Or suppose instead of rising up as a na- tion against the madman who had said, “America must be punished,” we had refused to rebuke him? Would these “mothers” prefer to be ground under the heel of a Prussianized mili- tary machine “beast”? Would thes “mothers,” who would travel abroad or send their children to other coun- tries in order to complete their edu- cation, enjoy the thought that tHeir brothers and fathers and relations at home would not protect them? Na- tions will have great respect for that people which, being just, will not brook any injustice to their nationals and who are prepared 1o defend their own against the bully or robber, who- ever he might be. Do we well to overlook this side of the question? Of course, we want peace, but we want the “peace” which is “the effect of righteousness,” other- wise it would not be peace. but a coun- terfeit.
