TREE CLIMBING TANKS
DON'T ASTONlSH DANIEL

Washington. - Secretary Jo-
sephus Daniels of the navy de-
partment is nothing If not blase.
Recently, when he was In
specting the marine corps camp
at Quantico. Va, enthusiastic
officers demonstrated some new
tank style gun tractors for him.
They ran the machines on the
level, then up grades and over
obstacles. Secretary Daniels en-
loved the demonstration. but did
not burst forth into expressions
of great wonder.
Then the officers volunteered
to run a machine down into n
trench, up the side and out
again. Another said he could
make his machine climb wall.
but Secretary Daniels led his
party on to inspect something
else.
1--WE heard they've got ma
chimes in France that will climb
trees" he said.

DIRERTY BOND MARKET

NNA HILE the proposition put
w before congress max
ing it prohibitOry for
anyone to sell Liberty Bonds
below their par value is doubt
less well-intentioned and car
ries an appeal to many people,
it would be a great mistake to
pass a law to that effect, says
the Boston Post.
One of the prime essentials
of a bond is ready marketable
ity; and one that has a restrict
ed, or limited, market is in
much less demand, other things
being equal, than one that
may easily be sold. AS a mat
ter of fact, if a law were pass
ed restricting sales of Liberty
Bonds to a certain price it
would be almost impossible to
float another issue. Viewed
from another angle, as the
present issues of bonds were
sold to the public without re-
strictions on their market, it
would be almost tantamount to
breach of contract for the
government now to prohibit
sales below a certain price.
When millions of people buy
Liberty Bonds circumstances
are bound to arise making it
necessary for some of them to
sell out and realize cash. These
sales or the price quoted for
the bonds do not represent any
change in the credit of the
government or the intrinsic
value of the bond; and it is
the most expert banking opin-
ion that those who retain their
bonds will in time be able to
sell at a profit in addition to
receiving a good return mean
while on their investment.
The best advice to Liberty
bondholders of moderate
means is: Don't sell unless you

FROM THE PEOPLE
PRESS Is THANKED.

December 26, 1917.
To the Editors of Oregon:
I Never have l. witnessed anything
like the publicity that has been given
by the newspapers of Oregon to the
Red Cross Membership Campaign.
They have been generous of their
space. They have taken a keen in
terest in all local phases of the cam
paign and in addition have featured
the purposes of the Red Cross and
have set forth its achievements.
At state headquarters we have Il
vast mass of clippings, boxes full of
them, all from Oregon newspapers.
1t has been a physical impossibility
to go over all of them as yet. Also
it has been impossible to make that
individual Acknowledgement which
each editor deserves for the special
cooperation he gave. Some of these
individual acknowledgements have
been made and before the end of the
year We hope to get all the clippings
filed and classified so that at least Il
word of appreciation may be sent to
each newspaper.
The people of Oregon are intensely
patriotic. The press of Oregon. by its
editorials and news matter, has
practically. Every undertaking sane
toned by national authorities has
been supported by the Oregon press.
This publicity has encouraged thou
sands of campaign workers in the
Liberty Loan, Red Cross, y. NJ. c. A.
and other drives and has helped edu-
cate public opinion to the point, where
subscriptions are offered in a fine
eDfrit al remuneration.
To the press is due much Of the
credit of the matchless record ore
gon has made in contributing men,
money and materials to our country
for the prosecution of our great war.

1t will be seen from the fore
going that less than half of the
attacks on merchant ships are
successful. Also that the per-
centage of sinkings is low as
compared with the arrivals and
departures at British ports.
However, there is a steady
string of losses with conse-
quent need of all possible en-
.ergy on the part of American
ship builders.
