And they pay only three per

Conditions in the security
market now are wholly abnor-
NAL, and can't last after the war.
European investors have been
unloading on us their American
securities, as they wanted the
money to put into their own gov
eminent issues. Our people have
had to dig money out of all kinds
of investments to buy back our
securities held abroad. This has
reduced the price on everything,
including government bonds.
In the face OF this selling
movement, the first Liberty loan
has sold for but a few cents un-
der par. 1t seems as certain as
anything in business can be, that
after the war these bonds will go
up. If under normal conditions.
a three per cent bond sells at 102
to 104, a four per cent bond
should bring a good deal more
than that.

at the same time practical GER

American Training Camp In France.
Aug. 4.-(Delayed. 1.-The "Sammies"
won a good-natured victory over their
French comrades today. the Poilus ex-
pe-iencing no regret over their defeat,
but being rather elated over the eff
cheney Of their new allies. The con-
test was of two parts. throwing hand
grenades and firing automatic rifles.
The Americans captured the honors
in both competitions.
The American and French sides were
represented by picked teams from the
American and French camps and the
matches were held in the afternoon.
Give Baseball Credit.
The victory of tine "Sammies" in the
grenade throwing competition was
ascribed to their baseball training back
in the States. 1t was noticed that the
Americans threw the hand weapons
the same as they would a baseball
and this made them easily superior at
a distance.
It must be said for the French. how
ever, that they showed splendid ac-
curacy and the differences between
the teams was slight.
- In the Workmanship contest with
the automatic rifles there also was
little to choose between the rival ag-
gregations. The victory. however,
was keeniy pleasing to the American
officers as the 'Sammies'' are not
nearly as we'll acquainted with this
type of gun as sre the Frenchmen.

Number of Claims Due to Hysteria,
officials Believe.

Following the straight-from-the-
shoulder blows at draft dodgers which
marked the close of the week, the
provost marshal general and his aids
sat back yesterday to await develop
ments which are sure to follow.
Draft officials believe that the sur
prising number of exemption claims
which came in at first were due more
to a sort of hysteria than anything
else. With a more general under
standing of the aims and methods of
the draft law. they believe that a ma
terial difference will result
This steadying was beginning to
show at the close of the week in a
few instances, and officials believe
that 1t will not be long before the
work will become routine and uniform

1t is realized that draft riots in
some sections of the country will have
some local influence, but as has al
ready been indicated. they will not be
allowed to hinder the work of raising

The terrible fear that she would be
deprived of her baby let the flood
gates Of passion and hysteria> loose.
And, alternately weeping and calling
for her baby, she told to her lawyer,
Henry A. Uterhart, story which will
be made the basis of her defense for
the murder of the noted football star

The news that her baby would not

was told Mrs. DeSaulles this after
noon.
Then the storm broke. Ali the
passion of her race seized upon and
