Uentre Hall and Milthelm Remonstranoss
CUarry No Weight and Applioations Are
Granted, —0!d Fort Held Over,
License ccurt for Centre county was
held by Judge Henry Quigley, at
Bellfonte, on Saturday. Of the twenty-
nine applications coming before him
Judge Quigley granted twenty-one ho-
tel licenses at once, None were refueed
and the three held over were the Old
Fors Hotel, Maynard Meeker, proprie-
tor, and the applications of George
Parkes and David Benjamin, whole-
salere, of Philipsburg.
The only remonstrances presented
were against the hotels at Centre Hall
and Millbei, and in announcing his
decleion Judge Quigley said that inas-
much as no specific remonstrance was
made against any of the applicants he
felt his duty to grant them forthwith,
UUR LUANS TO OUR ALLIES,
The losre made by the United
States to the Governments at war with
Germany are arrapged by secretary of
the Tressury McAdoo and submitted
to the President and made with his
approval,
The Secretary states that his judg-
ment in makirg these loans is deter-
mined largely by the monthly rcquire-
ments of applicants. The different
powers, through their duly authorized
representatives, make their representa-
tione es to their necessities for carry
ing on the weg, snd after discussion
the various amounts are arrived sat.
These loans says the Becretary, are
essental for our own protection, not
only for our protection in a military
way but for our economic protection
end welfare, The protection of the
United States has been speeded up and
greatly stimulated. We are producing
more thsn our own needs, and our
own economic protection and welfare
demsnd that we sell much of our pro-
ducts to oursllies. To accomplish this
we must extend these oredits to enable
them to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation is an ee-
sential part of their eflectiveness iu the
war, and their commercial well-being
demands that their export trade be
maintaived io a considerable measare,
They must keep their civil population
engaged to the extent necessary tosus-
tain their industrial and economic ex-
istence. Ii is sound economic policy
on our part to assist them in maintain-
fog their industrial life and economic
welfare,
Very little of the money loaned to
cur allies, the Secretary states, goes out
of the United Btater, Most of it is
pent right bere for war materials and
foodstuff, The money we are sdvan-
cing is not a contribution ; it laa loan
on which they will pay interest and
which ultimately will be repaid in fall,
Our allies are looked upon by us se
solvent people without ready money
but with perfectly good credit,
Their expenditures of this money in
this country are supervised by ue.
Their purchases are made with the ad-
vice and assistance of our War Indus-
tries Board. This system not only
protects the borrowing slly but pre-
vents com petitive bidding against the
other allies and the United States it-
self, and obtaivs for the borrower the
eame prices, the same terms, and the
eamoe treatment our own Government
demands in making its own pur-
chases, .
When one remembers that the loans
made to our allies enable them to do
the fighting that otherwise the Ameri-
can Army wou'd have to do at much
ex penee, not only of men but of mon-
ey, money which would not be rstorp-
ed to us and lives that could never be
restored, the wisdom of our policy in
financing our allies is plain to every-
one, Itisnot only a duty to them
that we sre performing in lending
them part of our great wealth ; it is a
great duty we are performing the our
soldiers and sailors and our Nation in
making our allies powerful and effect.
ive, thus lessening the work and dan.
ger and suffering for our own men and
in bringing the war to an earlier close.

Community Singing.
Following the Week of Prayer ser-
vice in the Methodiat church on New
Year's eve—Monday, December Slat—
the entire audience will be requested
to remain for a short lime to engage
in sioging the various national songs.
This community singing idea was sug-
gested by Rev. R. R. Jonze, in his ser
mon to the P. 0. 8. of A., on Bunday
night, and the merit of it at once ap-
pealed to every member of the order,
who were charged by Rev. Jones to
look after things patriotic in their
bome community.
When occasion requires the singing
of “The Star Spangled Banner”,
* America", “0, Columbis, the Gem
of the Ocean, ”’ and other national airs,
the average audience is alike—it is
woefully lacking in ite knowledge of
the words of the song and the order of
the verses, A season of community
singing will have the desired effect ;
the words which were once known to
every man and woman during school
days, and which time has partly
stamped cut, will sgain be fresh in
memory.
Community singing—Ilet’s have it.

The Red Uross “Festival Fasd,”
The local Red Cross auxiliary have
$45.60 io » fund which they designate
the * festival fund.” The fact is thst
po festival whatever was required to
ralse this amount, the original ides of
holding such a function for raising
money for the ald of the Red Crows
having been abandoned in the interest
of conservation, Instead of a festival
8 canvass was made for cash, with very
good results. A great measure of
credit belongs to Tueseyville, which
community always rises to ite duty in
worthy matters needing hard cash,
A total of $22 00, or nearly half the en-
tire contributions; was contributed by
Tuseeyville, $9.00 of which was raised
by the literary society of that place,
The local Red Cross officers feel grate
ful to the people of that seotion for
their loyal support to the cause. Cen-
tre Hall contributed $26.40 to the fund.

Rev, Joues Delivers Patriotio Sermon,
“How can I best serve my country?” |
was the theme of a discourses delivered i
by Rev. R. R, Jones in the Reformed |
church on Sunday night, to » goodly |
representation of the local P, O. 8, of!
A. camp, and others. The occasion
was in celebration of the seventieth
anniversary of thes order, together
with the commemoration of the desth
of the Father of our Country,
Rev. Jones prefaced his remarks by
thanking the P, O, B, of A. for the
honor of being permitted to speak
in the interest of an order in which he
is denied membership from the fact
that he is not a native-born Ameri
can, He spoke in glowing terms of the
principles of the order, and then
delivered a real patriotic sermon.
Speaking of the “volunteer” and
“drafted” soldier, Rev, Jones placed
them on equal terme, deserving equsl
honors, and with sound logic erssed
the distinction that many wou Id make,
and have made, between the two
types. After sccording the greatest
honor to the soldier at the front, Rev.
Jones divided second honors between
the Y. M, C. A. secretaries and the
Red Cross workers on the fleld of bat-|
tle, for herole duty. He poloted out
bow all might best serve their coun
try, no matter how employed. His
remarks found favor with all present, !
and especially with the body of P. 0.
