The entire details of the idea will be outlined with demonstrations, next Thursday night at a dinner to be given at 6.30 by the manufacturers. "CORPSE" 'ASKS FOR FOOD.

MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM. It is Proving Expensive to the People of Great Britain. London, Feb, 18. -The shareholders and members of London's joint stock banks ]lave learned something about municipal trading in the last two weeks. They have learned that through reckless borrowings the mu- nicipalities that go in for trading heav- ily have caused. an enormous deprecias non in their securities. The managers of several of the banks at recent meetings took large amounts out of the net profits in order to write down the book values depreciated. The municipal stocks of the London and County Bank were treated in this way; £50,000 which it had. earned during the year were written off. The national Provincial Bank did the same thing, and other banks pocketed losses nearly as large. The people of Great Britain are beginning to understand that mu- nicipal socialism is just a bit expen- sive. 4 • * GERMAN ACTIVITY. French on the Meuse Frontier Fear It Means War.
