Next Liberty Loan
Comes in February,
With No $50 Bonds
TStaf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The next
Liberty Loan, which probably Will De
for the same amount as the one Just
completed, will be in February. 1t VIII
differ from the first two in that there
will be no $50 certificates. The mini
mum subscription will be 500.
There are two reasons for the eliml-
nation of the $50 bonds. One is that
issuing the bonds in such small de-
nominations increased the work OF the
Treasury Department, not only in their
issuance, but in interest payments
enormously. But the more important
is that the real reason for issuing the
$50 bonds in the first place-the desire
10 have the man who could AFFORD TO
snare only $50 loan his money to the
government. as we'll as his more pros
porous neighbor-has disappeared with
the iuauguration of the war or thrift
saving stamps plan. -,
The sale Of these stamps. which VIII
be offered not only to the man who has
only $50 to invest, but to the man VINO
has only SIS to invest, or only 20 cents
at a time to invest, has made the sou
bond unnecessary, and so the obvious
objections to a bond in such small
denomination have prevailed.
Secretary McAdoo feels that the issu-
ing Of $50 bonds would interfere with
the sale of the war savings stamps.
The stamps will be placed on sale early
in December, but it is not expected that
the two billions which it is hoped will
be sold of them will be disposed Of be-
fore late next summer, so that their
sale. after the February drive for the
rext loan is begun, will proceed stimuli
taneously with the sale of the larger
bonds.
Treasury officials point out that men
who have felt it duty TO buy one
bond in each issue will now help the
twice as much. as they will
buy a 500 bond instead Of a $50 bond.
The man who cannot afford to take a
800 bond can loan his money 70 the
government through the savings stamps.

No Formal limitation
To War Council

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-No formal
invitation has yet been extended 70 the
United States TO be represented IN the
inter-Allied military committee created
in Italy recently with general staff OIL
GERS OF the Italian, French and British
armies included in its membership.
The fact. however, officials here say
does not indicate any reluctance on the
part of the European Allies 20 make a
place in their military councils for
American representatives, as the con-
trary is known to be true.
The Allied war conference, at when
the United States has representatives,
probably will decide whether American
officers should be assigned to the COM

Labor and Capital
More United Than
Ever, Says Daniels
Secretary Says There Is No
Cause to Fear Future
Disturbances

Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, succeeded last night in reas ur-
ing shipbuilders of the country they
had nothing 70 fear from future labor
troubles. lie assayed the role OF peace
maker at the twenty-ffth annual dinner
Of the Society Of Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers in the Waldorf-As-
toria.
Lieutenant Commander Stevenson
Taylor, president OF the organization
and postmaster, expressed the senti-
ments Of the shipbuilders when he told
the 500 diners:
81 can see only one serious trouble
before us-the question Of labor. When
four unions can grab the people by the
throat and say: You must give us what
we want, or you can't ride, and when
other unions can say to shipbuilders:
You must give US what we want, or
you can't get ships'-with all difference
to Washington, this situation must be
met in the year"
Secretary Daniels had not arrived
from Washington when the toastmaster
began his remarks. but he entered the
hall while the former was speaking ana
heard the expression of his fears. Mhen
he in turn rose to speak he pointed his
remarks in direct refutation Of Com
mander Stevenson.
Cheering Words Applauded
There is now greater unity between
capital and labor than ever before" the
Secretary began, and waited for ap-
pleuse. The audience, still under the
influence OF the first speakers words,
sat silent. Finally, Secretary Daniels
cried
"Now, applaud thatl" at the same
time cIapping his own hands. A volley
of cheers greeted him when he said,
THAT is the first time I've had to
applaud my own speech" and there
was hearty clapping.
you men must remember" Secre-
tary Daniels continued, that the men
who work in the shops and build ships
are American citizens and must be
dealt with accordingly.
People pick up the papers, read that
10000 men are out on strike, and think
the situation hopeless. They fail TO
realize that 10,00O,0o0 men are on the
job They read Of one p ant owner
quitting because of labor trouble, with
out thinking OF the ninety-nine others
who keep right On.
No Place for Profteering
MEN who have invested capital and
brains in building ships must be as
sured fair profit. but there is no place
in the United States for prohteering.
We must a forget profits and wages,
and get down and work for victory.
Each department head in Washing
ton thinks his particular division will
win the war, but you and / know that
ships are going TO win the war. With
out them the large crops here could not
be transported for use abroad. When
the war is over | shall insist on a place
of honor for you men and the workmen
who build the ships and make victory
possible"
storm Of applause greeted the Sec
rotary as he finished, and Lieutenant
Commander Taylor shook his hand, say
ing:
'Your speech has made me feel bet
ter"
Among the other speakers was Ad-
miral ". A. Camps, general manager Of

the new building and through its
cordial support in many school enter
prises, added more than its quota
Of interest and support to the pro-
eressive steps which have been taken
in the last two or three years.
The vacation school is in its sec
ond year. The vacation school main
tains a kindergarten of five weeks
which is now a permanent feature of
the Hays school system. 1t might be
added that the vacation school and the
kindergarten do not cost the school
board anything but are maintained
by the Normal school.
It is expected that next year If pos
sible some simple military drills will
be introduced.
Possibly the biggest single step
which has been taken lately for the
better training of the young people
of Hays, in their public school will be
with single desks and there will be q
single teacher for a single grade
These teachers have been carefully
chosen for their particular line of
work.
The class of 1917, seventeen in
number, is the largest in the history
of the high school but the class next
year will outnumber it by five or six
and POSSIBLY more. One thing must
be said concerning the present high
school class. The splendid spirit
among the students of the high school
this year has possibly been nodded
somewhat by the conduct and spirit of
the senior class.
There has been an ideal of coop
Grafton, not only between classes but
individuals, that has made the work
of the high school not only more
pleasant than heretofore, but also
more definite and also more academic.
Ten of the seventeen of this years
class are going to teach next year.
because of it's special advantages, the
graduates of Hays High School get a
one year state certificate instead of
the usual Normal training certificate
granted by high schools.
One of the show spots of Hays, will
ce the block which has on it the new
high School building and the grade
school. 1t is being graded and a re-
taining wall is being built which will
make possible the landscaping of the
grounds which the board so much de-
sires. Situated as it is along the
Golden Belt Road it will mean much
