upward and buyers are satisfied they will have to pay much higher levels for spring goods when these are put on sale later in the year.
 From results of the rug auction, during which it was announced pro- duction would be curtailed, it ap- peared that retailers were convinced prices were at a level which checked public interest.
 Raw silks were higher. Ribbon dealers, fearful of a tax on silk inn ports, have been endeavOring to in scrt clause in their selling con tract providing any tax shall be added to the contract price.
 Export business was somewhat lessened in volume and confined mostly to spot or nearby deliveries.
 The yarn markets have been quite firm, although takings of cotton yarns have not been large. This was attributed to recent price ad- vances, but there was no disposition to force sales, and the outlook is for higher prices.

 Even Higher.

 The big gain in tickings was attri buted largely to government de mands. Expectation of government buying was largely responsible fol the upward movement as a whole.

Berlin Zeitung Says That America Has Nothing To Offer but Blown
 Egg Shell.
IS POLITICAL REVENGE
Great Mass of Jokes Are LaboriousIy Given to the Public by
 Newspaper.

AMSTERDAM, May 9.-The Der lin Zeitung Am Mittag, under the caption Embarrassment at the Capi- tal," discusses the results of the Anglo-French mission to Washington. It says that after beautiful speeches and grand and general promises, the members of the missions have come United States can not produce ships by magic, and besides the ocean is ruled by German submarines. The newspaper adds that the loans to France and Italy so far amount to a mere tip in order to keep those coua- tries quiet.
 We do not underestimate the American danger where it really ex- ists. namely, after the war on com mercial questions" says the Zeitung Am Mittag. But for the Entente's s momentary needs. America has noth- ing to offer but blown egg shell.
 Therefore the whole fury of the party assembled at Washington burst over the neutrals. Food that cannot be shipped to England shall not be shipped to Scandinavia, Holland and Switzerland. The alleged reason is light crops, and more notably it is political revenge for the refusal of the neutrals to come under the heel.
 "Neutrals should not be unduly alarmed. It is an empty threat, for if the American farmer has grain to sell, he will sell it to neutrals if he can not sell it to England"
 Elsewhere the Zeitung Am Mittag runs a column of heavy jokes on the patriotism of the American million aires, in which it says:
 What we have long feared has become horrid truth. the million aires are being mobilized."

 GERMANS MOVED DOWN PARIS, May 9.--The French state ment says: There was heavy fighting all night along the chemin des Danes front, where the enemy attempted at various points to eject us from the positions captured re- gently. These attacks were made with large bodies of troops and were preceded by violent bombardments. Everywhere they were repuIsed. In the region of Cerny LoborveIIe and on the heights near Hurtebise, the Germans sutered two sanauInary checks.
 Further East a powerful effort was undertaken on the California Plateau in a vain attempt to eject us from this important position.
 "The Germans were moved down by our artillery and machine guns They made several attacke, renew ing those efforts. In spite of con siderable losses the enemy gained footing for a brief period in the salient on the northeastern part of the plateau but was driven back in disorder by our bayonets.
 "A number of bodies left on the ground by the Germans, testified to the sacrifices made in vain eby them. Our positions were maintain ed everywhere and we took prison CTS. For our part we made an at tack and in brilliant action captur- ed the first line of German trenches on front of 1,200 meters in the re- zion northwest of Chevreux. We took 160 prisoners. There is intermittent cannonadina along the remainder of the front. Surprise attacks by the enemy near Courcy, Souain and Col du Bonhomme were without result"

of these securities and so dislOcate
the bond market and, of course,
themoney market. The loan is,
therefore, to be subcribed for out
of current and future savings
1t is more than likely that bust
ness will be very good if the loan is
pOpularly subscribed The fac
tories and mills will be busy on
all sorts of orders from the gov
ernment. There is a shortage of
all kinds of supplies. Labor will
be freely employed and the demand
for it is likely to be only partly
satisfied. The people who should
subscribe to the loan will, therefore
have the funds with which to meet
the payments. But it is great
deal of money that is wanted.
1t is $40 for every man, woman and
child in the United States. That
means 500 for each family. And
that means that hundreds Of
families who win respond to the
demand will have to add some &C.
onomy to that row practiced. They
will not hate to put new esonomy
into operation forthe loss that
would attend the making OF gift.
They will have to put new ec-
onomy into operation for the gain
that will attend the saving of the
amount subscribed to the bond
issue. They will have the security.
They will receive the interest on it
regularly. And the country will
be better off because of the thrift

WHY YOU SHOULD
BUY A LIBERTY BOND
And By Your Thrift Insure Your
Own Prosperity And Save the
u. s. From Disaster

There are two reasons why there
should be Liberty Bond in every
home. Either of them offers a
sufficient impulse for the invest
ment. The reasons are, first, Patrio-
tism. and. second, Thrift.
Patriotism is the expression of
every individuals obligation to the
country which protects him and
gives him the opportunity to de-
velop his abilities and gain the re-
ward of his efforts.
Patriotism often finds ebullient
and even hysterical expressions,
but reduced to the real terms it is
a matter OF the obligation of each
man and woman to contribute his
or her share for the common good
in return for the advantages
gained from living in a well ordered
society
This obligation naturally extends
to contributing for the common
defence ThecontributiOn may be
an outright gift under a general
assessment worked out on some
presumable equitable basis. Such
gifts take the form of taxes and
voluntary contributions to numer-
GUS charities and war organiga-
tions. The other obligation is an
ordinary business matter.
Lending money under such cir
cumstances, considered iii its re
lationsto individuals, is practical
application Of the thrift Idea. 1t
Is as much saving as money de
posted In savings bank. 1t
draws interest at three and one
half per cent; it is safe investment
II the government is stable. If the
government is not stable then no
investment is safe and property
rights as well as property values
Will vanish, as personal safety and
the rights to the pursuit of happy
ness must disappear also. There
is no better investment than gov
ernment bonds. Investment in
them is the duty of those who
cannot enter the army or the navy
and is the discharge of a similar
obligation, although it is not re
\ garded as heroic.
To secure two billions the govern
ment must receive an average of
| 81 900 from each of two million
| persons But the average will be
much below that. Ii there are
less than five million subscribers
/ to the first bond issue it will be a
failure as a test of patriotism.
But If five million persons sub
scribe the average of the subscrip-
i tiOns will be $780, 1t is obvious,
therefore that a good many thous-
lands of people must buy the bonds
in the small domination of $50 and
$lOO.
The small amounts should COME
out OF the Gurrant savings if the
loan is to attain the great success.
Past savings, evidence by credit ac-
counts in savings banks, should be
used only to a limited extent or.
preferably, not at, all. The funds
of savings banks, in bankingpar-
lance, are not liquid. They are in
the form of bonds Of various kinds
and SO compose large part of
the fixed capital of the country.
Extensive demands on the savings
banks would force the liquidation
