Th i i PRESIDENT SIGN§ RURAL CREDITS BILL Measure Oreating Twelve Land Loan Banks Becomes Part of Federal System. WILL NAME BOARD SOON Washington, July 17.—President Wilson today signed the rural credits bill, passed recently by congress. Just before signing the measure, which cre- ates a system of twelve land loan banks under direction of a federal board, the president made a short ad- dress. “I cannot go through the simple ceremony of signing this bill with- out expressing the feeling that I have in eigning it,” said the president. “It is a feeling of profound satisfaction, not only, but of real gratitude that we have completed this piece of legisla- tion, which 1 hope will be immensely beneficial to the farmers of the country. “The farmers, it scems to me, have occupied hitherto a singular position of disadvantage. They have not had the same freedom to get credit on their real estate that others have had who were in manufacturing and com- mercial enterprises, and while they have sustained our life, they did not in the same degrec with some others, share in the benefits of that life. “Therefore, this bill, along with the very liberal provisions of the fed- eral reserve act, puts them upon an cquity with all others who have genu- ine assets and makes the great credit of the country available to them. Expects Great Benefits. “1 look forward’ to the benefits of this bill, not with extravagant ex- pectations, but with confident ex- pectation that it will be of very wide reaching benefit, and incxde_nully. it will be of advantage to t vesting community, for can imagine no more satisfactoty or solid investments than this system will afford those who have money to use.” AT The president used two pens in signing the bill, and gave one of them to Senator Fletcher of Florida, who asked permission to rrelent it to the Southern Cdbmmercial congress. In addition to the number of mem- bess of the house and senate, the sign- _ ing was witnessed by David, Lubin, " one of the originators of the bill, and ~ representative _of the National Grange, the Farmer's Educational and Co-operative union, the Farmers’ : glfiqnul cT?l[rell' and the National ouncil of Farmers' Co-operative as- sociation. .

This is the sixth contingent of Rus- sian troops, the arrival of which in France has been reported. Between April 20 and May 5 there arrived at Marseilles five bodies of Russian sol- diers, after a land and sea journey of about 17,500 miles from Moscow, where they were assembled to Port Dalny, Manchuria, and thence by water-via the Suez canal. The num- ber of men in the first contingents has not been given officially, but it is believed to be about 25,000. These troorl were quartered at Camp De Mailly, near Troyes, for several weeks, and then sent to the front. The official French communication of last night showed that Russian troops were in the trenches in the Cham- pagne. It was said in Paris several weeks ago that the sending of the first con- tingents was largely in the nature of an experiment and that they might be followed by more substantial num- bers. On the former occasion the Russians arrived without arms, which were supplied by the French, The explanation was given that it was easier to send men out of Russia’s surplus to the western front than to forward arms and ammunition to the east. Philippine Silver Coinage Sells at a Very Large Profit (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) Manila, P. 1., July 10.—The Philip- pine government has just sold to the government of British India 7,500,000 silver pesos at a profit of close to $500,000 over the original cost of the currency. The pesos when coined, each contained about 30 cents worth of silver, but the price at which they were sold was 386 cents. The phenomenal rise in the price of silver the world over some weeks ago led officials of the insular government to study the question of the wisdom of disposing of a part of the silver hoard which the Philippines pur- chased at the low prices current in 1902 and 1903. At that time this pur- chase was made necessary by law to secure the issuance of 34,000,000 pesos of paper currency (silver certificates). A later law, passed in 1906, permitted a large part of this issue of silver certificates to be secured by gold, but the government then had in its vaults 34,000,000 silver pesos, coined at a cost of 30 cents. Some weeks ago J. L. Manning, the insular treasurer, was sent to Hong- kong to look into the silver market and to confer with officials of the overnment of India, then in the mar- et for silver. The net result of his trip was, the sale of about one-fifth of the government's hoard. The de- livery of the silver is to be made at the Manila branch of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking corformon, in lots of a million pesos. The coin is then to be transterred to India, where it is to be melted into bullion in the presence of Insular Auditor C. H. French, who is now en route to India to fulfill this duty.

MAY CHANGE PARTY NAME St. Paul, July 17.—Rival factions in | the national prohibition party are lin- ing up their forces today for next Wednesday. Whether the control of the party shall be retained by the old guard, which has fought forty years for a principle, or captured by the newer element which is willing to change the party’s name and adopt John M. Parker of Louisiana or some other progressive as a vice presiden- tial candidate is the chief question at issue. Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chicago, na- tional chairman, declared today that he believes the remnants of the pro- ressive party are waiting anxiously or an invitation to join with the pro- hibitionists. “It was Colonel Parker who urged Victor Murdock to become a candi- date for the prohibition party’s nomi- | nation for vice president,” Mr. Hin- shaw said, —— — Miss Nelle Lipe and Mrs. Leo Mul-| holland, reported drowned yesterday when the home of their father, J.

Ice Inspector Gets Annual Complaints of Short Weights The city inspector of weights and measures is receiving the annual complaint about short-weight ice. Since Roosevelt disowned the party he founded, many prominent progres- sives, in addition to Colonel Parker, have made overtures to us, One of these is Raymond Robins of Chicago. Prohibition leaders have discussed seriously the advisability of changing their party name. Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts has said the ticket could win the coming campaign with himself as its leader and a new name that would embrace more than the single issue of prohibition. Opposed to the new ideas of fusion, changes of name and adoption of the surviving progressives, are a number | of leading prohibitionists, among | them Eugene W.

It is this: Even though the making of armor is unprofitable, we have invested over $7,- 000,000 in our armor plant; That plant is useless for any other purpose. -~ It would be good business for us to make armor for the Government at any price over and above the actual shop cost, rather than sacrifice our entire investment. ¥ ¥ We do not seek to save big profits; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plant—itself built solely for the use of the Government—from going to the scrap heap.
