Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii:
reaction iIurliiK tlie Inst
i-lty which accompanied the
recent carnival of new Issues
Investment bankers say this condition Is as It nhouUI he, at it always
requires n. hrenthlnk spell to rtlsest a feast of new securities. Sonic,
hankers Rny there will not likely bo it very active revival in the Invest
ment business until after tho Victory loan Is under way. Theso remarks
were made befoie tho news was made public rcRnrdliiff tho action by
tho House Ways nnd Means Committee consldorlnB legislation to refuse
tho request of Secretary of tho Treasury Carter Glass for authorization
' for the lonn. It Is understood that If tho proposal Is adopted tho now
loan to be Hunted Into In April would be for all or part of tho $5,000,000,000
authorized and not Issued, nnd would thereforo carry the samo terms
as tho former Liberty Loans.
Speaking of tho Victory Loan jeaterdH, the lnaiiuper of a largo
banking and ln estment concern said he did not take any notice of tho
current talk about the difficulties In tho way of the loan. When tho
time comes, ho said, the American people will anain dip down In their
Jeans nnd buy the bonds. There will bo tho same enthusiasm, ho said;
tho same hurrahlnc, tho same fervid four-minute orators and tho name
women ready to slvo a kiss to every purchaser of a bond, nnd the uholo
affair will ro orf swimmingly, notwithstanding nil tho old-womanish
fears and tulk that It won't.
Foreign Investments in the American Market
.When speaking of the purchase of foreign Investments In the Atnerl.
can market and the field which It opens for trado with foreign countries,
a banker remarked that ho expected a large Inrrcaso In this business
In tho noxt few years. He said he believed tho hesitancy on tho part of
Investors to buy such securities nt attractive prices km lurgely owing
to our banking concerns' lack of Information nbout such securities
Wo know that before tho war invcstois in oti-.er countries, and is
pcclally In Great Britain, had no hesitancy In ''nijlng American se
curities. Ho also said that If we are to enter tho world's markets at once,
beforo other countries get established ahead of us, wo must buy foreign
securities. The impoverished countries of Europe, It will bo found, must
trade largoly with us for almost everything for somo yenrs to come.
Foreign trade Implies exchange either In commodities which they have
not got or gold, whloh we don't wnnt or through tho purohasn of their
securities, which really represent their national wealth, and In tho present
Instance represent their third Hue of purchasing rcseres.
This banker said ho expected banks und trust companies of America
to go In for a big educational campaign on tho values of foreign securi
ties, so that they will be In as good a position to mlvee their Investing
customers on theso as they would on domestic securities.

She Rescued Fifty Dying
Soldiers From No Man's
Land in One Night
Dragged them in one at a
time from the pit of death
"I could see their hands outstretched
in my direction. . . . Could I remain in
different to their pleas ? . . . Wasn't it
my bound en duty as a soldier, impor
tant as that of fighting the enemy, to
render aid to stricken comrades? . . .
"I climbed out of the trench and under
our wire entanglements. . . . There was
a comparative calm interrupted only
by occasional rifle shots, when I would
lie down imitating a corpse . . . Within
a few feet of our line were wounded . .
I carried them one by one to the edge
of our trench where they were picked up
and carried to the rear. . . . When dawn
broke I had accounted for fifty lives."
Who Is She ?
She has been called
The Modern Joan of Arc
She is the most astounding and picturesque personality of
the world war.
