Creta and the Germans
BY Charles j. Rosebault,
of The Vigilantes.

Permit Greta to talk of Germany and
the Germans. She is qualified, both by
antecedents and experience. What Is
more, she is trustworthy, as any of us
old dtimers Of Newspaper Row win testi-
fy.
For years Greta had been amusing us
with threats Of leaving u.s.. Amusing,
say, because we never would take her
seriously. Yet over and over again
she would break into our game of PIN
ochle-which she had taught us, by the
way--to exelaim:
''Some day IN going TO close up this
place and 20 to Germany to live Then
you fellows can find some other place
to do your kicking"
"Greta's set on marrying Dutch
man. somebody would be sure to re-
mark
''You mean German" Greta would
invariably correct him, ''Germans ain {
so bad A"
In those days not man of us would
dissent. Anyhow, we wer enot given to
eontradicting Greta.
OF the dozen or more little eating
places in the narrow side streets off
Newspaper Row Greta's was the one
that had captured the fancy Of all the
newspaper boys Its appearance was
not especially appealing-a long bar in
front, bare pine floor, some large
round oak tables surrounded by bent
wood chairs, and an old pool table in
the rear. Neither was the cuisine
superior to that OF its rivals. In truth,
Raeky's was to il as Delmonieo be-
side Moretti table d d'hote. But then
there was Greta, Greta of tho blue
eyes and full rosy cheeks, the figure of
young Roman matron and serenity
Of disposition and speech which calmed
the vilest temper and soothed the most
frarzled nerves.
To youngsters who were usually over
worked, often unstrung and not infre-
quently lonesome, Greta was tonic.
Just to watch her unrufflod face and
follow her deliberate movements made
for peace of mind. but beyond that
Greta was naturally everyhody's 5 friend,
and motherly advice and goodwill
flowed from her as oil from the spigot.
The fact that the advice was not al
ways based on a penetrating wisdom
didn't detraet from its sympathetic in
fluence. We might smile at her naif
philosophy and yet be warmed by It's
underlying kindliuess. SO we loved
Greta, we wrote about her and we
brought TO her prosperity. When the
city editors were short of reporters
they always knew where to find them.
But one sad day Greta actually put
her threat into action. Her German
father had convinced her that life in
the fathcrland would bring the full cup
Of happiness. So she sold out and
sailed away.
We made a lot Of her departure,

her success, fanciful pietnFes Of her

imposed by the new revenue law, that
there will still exist incentive for large
interests to utilize the older 3 1-2 per
cent bonds because of their full tax
exemption feature. This, in connection
with their eonvertibility explains the
substantial demand for the older bonds
that has been shown during the week.
With the improvement in the money
position when promises to continue dur
ing the period covering the offering of
the new government securities, there al
ready has developed, as has been stated,
much steadier and more confident
feeling on the general market for Sc
curities. Adviees from Washington that
seem to bear the direct stamp of res

tration IS policy in connection with its
priee-fixing plans will, when it finally
becomes known, be found to be suffi-
GENTLY liberal to justify the belief that
profits to be obtained by our manufae
turers for tfeir products will be sat
isfactory. A very practical and signifi-
cant indication of this is the % 1-2
cents per pound announced as the pur-
chase price of copper. There, of course,
is 70 likelihood that we are to have
anything like an early return to the
conditions that existed before our own
entrance as an actual participant in
the worldwide struggle for democracy.
At that time we were selling to buyers
who were anxious and willing to pay
high prices, which would act as di-
rect incentive to speed up production.
What was most needed was promptness
of delivery of war material of all kinds
in order to diminish as far as possible
the handicap of being so completely
unprepared against an enemy whose en-
tire organization was tuned to the high
est pitch of efficiency. Today it is our
own country that is paying the bills,
not alone fer supplies for our own mil
itary and naval organizations, but we
are lending the funds to what now are
our formal allies in order that they
too may pay our manufacturers for sim
liar purchases. Thus excessive profits
are not to be tolerated; they would be

bC so small as to handicap their ac-
tivities. Speed of production still is
necessary. Profits must permit the very
highest degree of production. Our gov
crnment s shipbuilding plans, for in
tance, require that every ounce of iron
and steel that can be, shall be produced
this year and next. The tonnage must be
measured by the yardstick of millions.
This is symptomatic of other branches
of our national activities. Hence if, as
is to be expected prices are reasonably
profitable the industrial plants of our
country have before them a long period
of uninterrupted business. 1t is obvious
" desirable as a step in the direction
of promoting the full success of the
new loan offering that the price-fixing
fear should be promptly and definitely
allayed. Already are there evidences OF
a slaekening down on substantial
scale of domestic enterprise. Resales OF
pig iron, for instance, have been report
cd this week at a reduction of So per
tor from former prices. There has, too,
been a reduction in other branches of
the metal market. This uncertainty
hardly can fail to increase. Construction
is not likely to proceed without re-
straint when there is prospect of low
er prices later becoming available in
basic materials.
The new war revenue bill will soon
be on the statute books. Income tax
ation will be very heavy. But neither
this nor the excess profits tax will be
as eonfiscatory as some of the more
radical members of congress have desir-
ed. We all must do our share in what
will undoubtedly always stand out
prominently among the greatest crises
of the world. Phe staggering figures
that are being granted in the form of
appropriations, and the bond issues and
the forms of taxation to provide for
these appropriations, all are merely
measure of the determination of the ad-
ministration to bring TO bear at once
the very utmost of our fighting eff
Cheney. in order that the conflict may
be brought as promptly as possible to
n victorious close. 1t is no time for half
measures. We have already surprised
the enemy by sending to France con-
siderable army of elean-eut,, intelligent
men who are eager and able to fight
for democracy. We must continue send
ing well equipped men until we have
an army that viii by its strength, in
telhgence ana determination convince
the enemy of the futiity of continuing
its losing struggle Preparation and
more preparation cannot fail in this
wnv to prove the most effective means
for conserving the lives of our young
men. Financial sacrifices must be pat
riotieally borne. The war must be won
and all must do their bit. Peace Is in
the air. Austria under its new ruler
wants peace. Political developments in
Hungary this week show a correspond
ing feeling in that division Of the dual
kingdom Bulgaria, too, it is reported
in responsible quarters, is desirous Of
beginning peace negotiations. The Ger
nan people earnestly desire peace. But
the German military machine still

opment that viii permit it as victor to

language the author makes you see q
whole picture Of the wounded soldier.

Lots of people in this country have
not yet realized that tobacco is almost
as important as food and munitions,
but the men who have been over there

they have.
"Tommy," says Mr.. Empey "is a
great cigarette smoker. He smokes un-
der all conditions except when uneon-
scious or reconnoitering in No Man 8
Land at night. Then for obvious rea-
sons, he does not care to have lighted
cigarette in his mouth"
And what applies to Tommy Ger
tainly applies to our men with equal
force. The American soldier and his
cigarette are always together and as
soon as he gets into the trenches he is
going to want smokes just as bad as
any one else.
In another place Empey gives a
thrilling description of the way he
felt just before the order came to go
over the top. Here's little bit of it.

New York, Sept. 22.-Improvement
that so clearly has been shown in the
market for securities this week seems
mainly a response TO the removal of
fear of strain in money. 1t may, too,
be ascribed to a widespread belief,
which undoubtedly has foundation, that
no effort VIII be spared in patriotic
financial circles to promote a cheerful
feeling in the investment markets dur
ing the period the new loan is beng
publicly subscribed. There could be no
greater handicap against the success
of the loan than to have a spirit OF
pessimism prevail at that time.
For several weeks there has been evil
denees of scarcity of funds available
for fixed maturities. This was in no
sense unnatural in view of the heavy
demands that were in sight. Lenders
also were inclined to discriminate
against collateral comprising all indus
trial securities, thus bringing into prom
inenee a situation that had during the
recent past been developing so grad

at once widely appreciated. That is to

"Before charge Tommy is the po-
litest of men. There is never any push
ing or crowding to be first up these
ladders. We crouched around the base
of the ladders waiting for the word to
go over. L was sick and faint, and was
putting away at cigarette. Then came
the word, Three minutes to go; upon

blast of the whistles, cover the Top

He'll. The famous phrase of the west
ern front. -
That's a picture of man s emotions
just before the big test and, no one
can pass over the point that here was
one of the times when he had to have
his cigarette.
These are only few points from one
of the many books written on condi-
tions ON the western front which have
something definite to say on the need
of tobacco and cigarettes abroad. 1t is
good, straight talk and we have re-
produced it here for the benefit of our
own readers and possible contributors
to our Tobacco Fund Fortunately for
our soldiers, the Tobacco Fund idea has
started almost as soon as the war itself
and it is not likely that our boys are
going to suffer much for the lack Of
their consoling cigarette in their times
of stress.
Any kind of a contribution does
good work. Even for 25 cents you can
send enough tobacco and cigarettes
abroad to last one of our soldiers a
week. A more patriotic, and whole
hearted enterprise has never been start
ed in this town and we are glad to
say that our fellow citizens are sup
porting it with open hands and gener-
Gus contributions.
But we can always use more and
more. To paraphrase a now famous ex-
preston, what is wanted is smokes,
smokes and more smokes for our sol
diers who are going over there to fight
for us.
