SHORTAGE OF MEN,
NOT MONEY, SAYS
F. A. VANDERLIP
Warning Against Danger of
Paper Money Inflation, a
Possible Danger
By Associated Press
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 13.—Warning I
against the danger of paper money |
inflation as a means of financing the
war was given to-day by Chairman
Frank A. Vanderlip, of the War Sav
ing Committee, in addressing a bank
ers' luncheon in behalf of the War
Saving Stamps campaign.
The government faced a shortage
of men and material, not money, he
declared, and therefore the printing
press could never satisfy the needs
arising from the war.
"There are some impressive rea
sons why this campaign for economy
should have the strongest support
of men of large affairs, of great cor- '
porations, of savings banks, and of
all interests that are concerned with
the luture security value," Mr. Van
derlip continued. "The alternative
of financing this war out of current
savings will be the attempt to fi
nance it by inflation; not by the in
flation of bank credits alone; that is 1
p.hnost inevitable. The danger is I
that we might come to inflation by j
the issue of paper money.
"At no time in the world's history \
when paper rtioney inflation has any- i
where been tried was there a cor- j
porate condition such as we have to
day; a situation where there are (
many, many billion dollars of se
curities issued by public service cor- j
poration whose income is fixed by
law. The advancing price of all |
things which corporations must have
to live, the prices of labor, fuel,
equipment, supplies of every sort, J
would show quick response to the
inflation of the currency but the in- 1
come of those corporations would
still be governed by legal contracts
or governmental -emulations."

OHIO PEOPLE SUFFERERS
Following Many Complaints,

ation Into Own Hands
By Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 13.—Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield to-day informed
Governor Cox. of Ohio, that he would
not be permitted to interfere with

the direction of the state fuel ad
ministration.
Dr. Garfield sent to Governor Cox
the following: telegram:
"I nn .it respectfully but firmly re
quest that you do not Interfere with
the orderly distribution of coal in
Ohio under orders issued by my au
thority to Hi.mer H. Johnson, Federal
fuel administrator for Ohio. He has
full authority to act. and F. C. Baird
is co-operating with him. I must
insist that the state authority be not
permitted to interfere with the action

trator."
Washington, Dec. 13. —Any press
ing need for coal in Ohio that Gov
ernor Cox can show will be met im

The early movement carried Union |

over yesterday'sTinal quotations. In- j
dustrials, Marine pfd.. and promi

points. The general setback ensued j
later on, relatively large offerings of |
General Electric, Texas Company j

I Members''of the Kiwanis Club, of

One interesting feature is the rule
that each member must use the
others' nickname at the club affairs. A
j fine of ten cents is the penalty for
; violation of this rule. That the law
| is in working order, Charles 11. Bar
i ner, president, can testify, for he was

DECEMBER 13, 1917.
Ed his orders from the British pilot,
MacKay, was "absolutely sober," said
the witness. No liquor was on the
Mont Blanc, he said.
The morning of the collision was
quite clear.
Proceeding up to Beeton? basin his
ship sighted the Imo, continued the
Mont Blanc's commander. She was
heading to sea on the westside but
was taking a direction across his
course. The starboard side of the
Imo was visible. She was two points
on his port bow. He gave one short
blast on his whistle to Indicate he
had seen the Imo and to show the
Mont Blanc was going to the right.
The Imo gave two short blasts
when the ships were about 150 feet
apart. The collision was inevitable at
this point. The Imo judging by the
force of the collision seemed to have
great speed.
The effect of the collision was im*'
mediate. Thick black smoke poured
from the hold. It was impossible to
put out the Are. In order not to use
lessly sacrifice lives he ordered the
crew to abandon the ship. He called
the roll when they landed and found
only one man missing. Eighteen to
twenty minutes elapsed before the
explosion which threw them all flat
on their faces.
Belated credit was given to-day to
two young women for their conduct
following the explosion. When the
explosion came the naval hospital
had only two nurses on duty. Sis
ter Alice Boutin and her assistant.
Although the roof crashed in and the
building was damaged not a patient
was lost.
In addition to attending these pa
tients, many injured from outside
were brought in. With a fractured
rib and a dislocated shoulder. Sister
Boutin Temained on duty until late
in the evening, when she became ex
hausted.
Miss Jean Groves, operator at tliej
private branch telephone exchange!
at the dockyards, remained at her
post and sent out calls for doctors.,
fire department and other aid until
ordered out of the building which
was badly damaged. Less than an
hour later she was at the Lome Ex
change, reporting for duty.
The relief ship Northland, the sec
ond vessel sent out from Boston,
with supplies and clothing for the
destitute here arrived to-day.
The Northland brought a large
quantity of window glass, roofing pa
per and other supplies badly needed
to make the remaining homes more
comfortable and to provide more
suitable temporary quarters for the
homeless.
The weather was intensely cold'to
day and an early snow storm gave
indications of continuing throughout
the day.
The relief, work is proceeding sat
i isfactorily and with the injured now
[all properly cared for the task of
iiestoiing more normal conditions in
that part of the city which escaped
the conflagration is going forward
rapidly.
Cen.mittees on transportation, sup
plies, information finance aqd re
construction have been organized
and are being directed by local men
who have taken over the work start
ed by outside relief committees.
Many persons who came here early
iri the week as mere sightseers have
been put to work at one task or an
other.
Dr. Ross Faulkner, of New York,
who was sent here to determine if
additional surgeons and nurses were
needed, reported to-day that the con
tingent from New England were
ample to meet present requirements.

time, he said, was for expert ocul
