Paris. Sept. h. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press The Am
erlcan army In France is coming to
be known in the Fsubourg Saint An
toine. as l'Armee de Salut. which Is
translated as the Salvation Army.
This Is not suggested by the other
army Of that name. but because so
many Frenchmen believe the Amer
leans have come to assure the saliva

One observes In the Faubourg
Saint Antoine. better than anywhere
else in Paris the fine spirit OF the
common people toward Uncle Sans
troops. They are welcome every
where. There Is always n place for
them on the benches OF public
squares beside the housewives OF the
neighborhood who have come out,
with their sewing, to get the air.
Everyone tries to help them along
with their French and the children
are proud as peacocks when they
have chance to push a chubby fist
into their big brown hands.
In the evening the quarter Is turn
ed into sort OF open air school. BY
the light OF pocket lamps the young
folks give the Americans aid in mas

tion Is not classic. but mutual un-
derstanding comes out OF II some

The Americans have reason TO ap-
preciate the hints they get as to how

LIBERTY BONDS

As the nation starts in upon a sec
ond Liberty Loan campaign. 1t nigh,
be well asked: Was the first cam
paign success?
On the 9Th day OF April. 1917, a
state OF war was declared as exist
ing between the United States and
Germany. Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo Immediately advised
congress Of the financial necessities
Of the country. and on the 24th OF
April the greatest bond bill in the
history Of the United States and one
Of the greatest of the world was
passed by practically unanimous
vote by both houses of congress. The
law authorized the issue Of $5.000.-
100000 in bonds and $4,000, ,000,-
900 In certificates OF Indebtedness.
On the I'd day Of May 1t was an
nounced that the first bond issue was
to be for $4,000, 900. 900 and the en-
tire issue was named the Liberty
Loan OF 1917. On the 14th day OF
Nay the details Of the bonds were
made public and subscriptions form
ally invited. The campaign opened
on the 18th day of May and closed
on the 18th day OF June with the re-
suit that over 100000 American
citizens OF every section, race, class,
and condition subscribed to Liberty
Loan bonds and the aggregate
amount Of their subscriptions was
we'll over $4,000. 900, 900.
The four great outstanding fea-
lures Of the first Liberty loan have
been said to be the promptness with
which the issue waz arranged and
disposed Of, the patriotism, earnest
ness and efficiency which marked the
campaign. the magnificent result in
the amount subscribed and the num-
ber Of subscribers, and the avoidance
Of any interruption OF the business
Of the country normally to be ex.
pected from so huge a demand upon
the finances OF the nation.
