HEADS YOU WIN
TAILS YOU WIN
Liberty Loan Bonds Are Like
the Rock Of
Ages

This story is told OF New York
financier whose shrewdness and judg-
ment made him respected among even
the money kings of Wall Street. Sew
eral years ago an acquaintance ex-
pressed his surprise at the report that
he had sold out his holdings in COM
pany with which he had been long
identified and which was understood
TO be extremely prosperous.
"The report is tr'le," said the finan-
cier. II have sold"
But" protested his friend, I'VE all
thought that was a bonanza. 1t pays
enormous dividends, doesn't it?"
Thirty per cent" returned the f.
nancier.
Gee, whiz! Why did you SELF"
II want my principal" said the
financier dryly.
The following year that company
ceased paying dividends.
This story is particularly applicable
to the present time. Many enterprises
that have been profitable will find IL
difficult to meet the conditions which
are arising now. Whether the war be
long or short, this Is bound TO be a
time of reimbursement. For the gam
blers there may still be allurement In
the showing made up to now by vari-
Gus enterprises whose stocks are
Haunted in the public marts. The pru-
dent. however. will realize that the in
evitable readjustments which must
follow the disturbed conditions arising
from the war demand unusual caution
in any kind OF investment now. To
those who have half an eye for the fu-
ture, Just one enterprise is bound to
appeal to them as the Rock of Ages.
That is the United States OF America.
Only the victory of the Kaiser and the
other Powers of Darkness can bank
rnpt that, and no American with one
drop OF red blood in his veins will ad-
nit such a possibility,
Liberty Loan Bonds will be selling
at a premium when many OF the so
called gilt-edged securities of today
will be useful only as melancholy
souvenirs Of imprudence. Liberty
Loan Bonds pay an honest interest.
They are convertible into the new is
sues which must follow II this war
continues, and which very likely will
be issued at higher rates of interest.

REVISION oE COAL pRIcEs.

tations to the Fuel Administration by
both operators and miners that an up
ward revision was imperative to meet
demands for increases In wages.
The prices raised were put up to the

"AmcricanS Mainly Idiots"

A dispatch from Amsterdam. dated
April 30th, says:
DR.. Ludwig Darmstacdtcr, a Ger
man. who has resided in the United
States, recently delivered a lecture in
Berlin which. from the report in the
Deutschc Tagcs Zcitung. apart from
personal abuse OF former President
Roosevelt and Senator Penrose, Of
Pennsylvania, was mainly IN apology
for the inaction on behalf Of the Fa-
therland OF German-Amcricans. The
lecturer said that he regretted deeply
that Germany had done so little to
keep up family ties oversee, especial
ly for the failure to assist German
educational institutions.
DR.. Darmstadter also upbraided
the German government for past mis-
takes. the greatest Of which. he said,
was the promising of American terri
tory to Mexico, which. he said, had
made the Texas farmer prefer to fight
Germany rather than to become Mexi-
can.
1T Is mainly true that the Yankees
are idiots. but much depends on who

TROOPS FOR FIRING LINE.
Not Distant Future VIII Find u. S.
Forces In France.

Washington, May 2.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
1t became known definitely that
the government has offered the allies
troops, but has suggested that the
alarming shortage Of world shipping
may make it impractical to send them
at once. In spite of objections Of the
general staff to putting an American
force on the firing line before the
great army has been raised and
trained, the administration has de-
earnestly desired by France for mora!
effect shall be sent as soon as posi-
Bile. The general belief here is that
the way soon will be found.
Composition of Force Not Decided.
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in
France shall be made up Of regulars
or national guardsmen, or both, has
not been worked out. The subject
was not discussed at to-day's cabinet
meeting, but Secretary Baker remain
ed afterward for a conference with
President Wilson.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops in
France, as the great plea Of their
mission has been for troops with the
American flag. They have pointed
out that this Is needed to convince
the Germans beyond doubt that all
Americas resources have been
thrown into the battle
The British also are known to be
anxious to have American troops in
France rs a final earnest of American
participation, but there Is reason to
