It appears that life insur- ance companies have shown a marked preference for farm loans as com- pared with city and village loans. Rural Credit Problem. “We are hearing much today of the Rural Credit problem and are being told that farmers in some sec- tions of the country are often com- pelled to pay exorbitant interest rates,” he continued. “If this be true, we must look for its cause out- side of the rates which life insur- ance companies are receiving upon their farm mortgage investments, be- cause we find the average rate on all our farm loans to be but 5.55 per cent. This is indeed surprising when we learn that farm loans average, with companies chiefly engaged in making such loans, but $2,600 each, while city and village loans of com- panies chiefly engaged in making such loans, average $76,000 each, and yield an average interest return of 5.13 per cent. “Lenders of money are beginning to realize that they should give con- sideration to how capital supplied by | then_n is going to be used, whether to provide luxuries and encourage ex- travagance, or to improve values and increase income from the properties taken as security. The rule applies alike to city, village and farm pro- perties, and I believe the time will sogn come—if it has not already ar- rived—when there will be a better understanding and closer co-opera- tion between borrowers and lenders, to the end that borrowers may be better enabled to meet their obliga- tions at maturity, and lenders may be made to feel more secure in the investments they are making.” ANOTHER BIG STEEL MERGER IN WORKS Capitalists Alter Gontrol of 100,- 000 More Shares of Cambria Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 9.—The Cam- bria Steel Company, Lackawanna Steel Company, Newport News Ship- building Company, Youngstown Steel and Tube Company and either the Inland or Iroquois plants near Chi- cago are to be merged into another gigantic steel corporation. The deal will go through within the next ten days, if plans do not miscarry, accord- {ing to J. Leonard Replogle, head of the syndicate which bought the 240,- 000 shares of the Cambria Steel held { by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- | pany. Mr. Replogle made the announce- ment last night after he had obtained | options on virtually all of the 60,000 | shares of Cambria Steel held = by | Johnstown people.

S. McClure, the publisher, Some discussion followed, during which Ellis O. Jones, a writer, of New York, referred to the message as “re- actionary,” and said that it should not be received in silence. “We are going abroad now,” he said, “on a mission to stop a terrible war among nafions, every one of which is prepared in a military way. “This is no time to disturb American traditions, and prepare the United States for war.” Kind of Preparation. Mr. Jones pointed to the fact that the United States and Canada had lived side by side for a century with- out soldiers, forts, guns or trench and that there only existed a prepa- ration for peace between Norway and Sweden. He added that was the kind of preparation we need now in America. Mr. Jones concluded with the re- mark that “this body of earnest, un- selfish men and women should speak in no uncertain terms about this message.” Dr. Aked’s Views, A lengthy address by the Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked of San Francisco, was included in the advices received from the Oscar II. In it he told of some of the great events that had sprung from small beginnings. He told of the work of the Apostle Paul and its vast moral influence; of the work of Clarkson and Garrison to abolish slavery, and of Neal Dow in behalf of prohibition. Dr. Aked then spoke of the present war, and the fact that it could not gé on forever. “Who knows,” he said, “but that we ourselves may bring those diplo- mats and rulers-and statesmen around their table, face to face, to talk things over quietly a little sooner than they would have done if Henry Ford had not brought us upon this ship? i .

Sitnation Perilous. With the exception of a small band of Serbians, the remnant of the Mon- astir army north of Ochrida Lake, no part of the Serbian armies remain on Serbian soil, it is stated. The fugi- tives, without artillery or transport trains and with only such supplies as they can carry on their backs, are struggling not only with the pursuing ——— CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS | If you are constipated it is your own fault. It is caused by carelessness and can be corrected by cultivating careful habits. Diet is of the first importance, then ex- ercise and the use of a laxative until healthful habits are established.

Bulgars, Austro-Germans and hostile Albanians, but with the rigors of full winter in the pathless Albanian mountains. Military men here ex- press the belief that not even a frag- ment will succeed in crossing Albania to the sea. The Montenegrin army, with such Serbians as were able to retreat in ! conjunction with it, is said to be in slightly better plight. The Montene- grins have been driven from their strong mountain positions along the crest of the Suhodof range, 3,500 feet high, on the northeastern frontier. Montenegrins Defeated. The Austrians stormed these posi- tions at the point of the bayonet after sufficient artillery preliminaries. The Montenegrins were badly defeated, it is reported. but manazed to retreat in an intact body and are conducting operations on their own soil with a line of retreat and supply through a friendly country. An enveloping movement on a big scale, however, is reported to be in progress, and Austrfan forces advanc- ing into the Black Mountains from three sides in an overwhelming force may succeed in rounding up and bagging the Montenegrin army, mili- tary experts believe. The opinion is expressed that this prospect may explain the suggestion of a separate peace reported to have been ad- dressed by Montenegro to the en- tente powers. SALONIKI PREPARED AGAINST ATTACKS Allies May Now Be Said to Be Safe From All Surprises—Ger- mans in Strumitza. Paris, Dec. 9, 5:30 a. m.—The Sa- loniki correpondent of the Journal sends the following despatch regard- ing the fighting in Serbia: “The portion of Field Marshal Von s forces decending on Monastir seems to ke divided into two columns. The stronger of th hav ing crossed the Vardar river, is mak- ing for Nevrokop. German cavalry already is reported around Istip and even in the Strumitza region. “Concentration of these troops on the Greek frontier, however, requires <ome time. They will not be in a po- sition to attack the allled rear or com- munications before the 20th. Ade- l quate preparations have been made to defend Saloniki against all attacks and the allies may now be said to be safe from all surprises.” WORKED ON SUNDAY. New York Reporter Pleads Guilty in Court. New York, Dec. 9.—The cases against eighty retail merchants and twenty-four saloonkeepers of Jersey City, charged by agents of motion picture interests with having violated the Sunday law by doing business on that day, were adjourned for one week yesterday in the first municipal court by Magistrate James P, Dolan. James McKcnzie, a newspaper re- porter, who was haled to court for working on Sunday, pleaded guilty, and sentence on him was suspended. He wrote stories, so it was claimed, on suppression of moving picture en- tertainments and other affairs in- volved by the Sunday law. RELIEF CORPS OFFICERS.
