not before or after. but at the peace
conference: and Germany as a men,
ber will have to redeem her charac-
ter not by what happens at the peace
table, but by what follows" This was
President Wilson'S answer, given
Friday night before an audience of
Fourth Liberty Loan workers here to
the recent peace talk from the central
powers, although he did not refer spe-
officially to the utterances of enemy
leaders.
Shortly before the President started
speaking, news of the further sue
cesses of American. British and
French offensives on the western
front reached the meeting at the Met
ropolitan opera house. and this gave
dramatic point to Mr.. Wilson's perora-
tion-that peace drives can be effect
lively neutralized and silenced only by
showing that every victory of the ma
| tions associated against Germany
brings the nations nearer the sort OF
peace which will bring security end
reinsurance to all peoples and make
the recurrence of another such strug-
gle OF pitiless forces and bloodshed
forever impossible, and that nothing
else can
I'VE are all agreed" he said. that
there can be no peace obtained by
any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments of the central
empires. because we have dealt with
them already and have seen them
! deal with other governments that
we're parties to this struggle. at Brest-
Litovsk and Bucharest. They have
convinced us that they are without
honor and do not intend justice. They
| observe no covenants, accept no prin-
ciple but force and their own In
terest."
Five thousand persons who filled
the Metropolitan opera house to ca
pacity heard the President. Five min
utes before his arrival a guard OF sol
diers. sailors and marines seated at
the rear of the platform were sud-
denly ordered to attention. They
arose with smart click OF rifles, the
national colors were advanced. and
the great audience became silent un'
til the President. without other warn
ing of his coming, walked on the
stage. escorted by Benjamin Strong,
governor of the feceral reserve bank
of New York. Then tremendous
burst of cheering broke loose. which
caused the President, after taking his
seat, to rise three times In acknowt
edgement.
Mr. Strong read to the audience
summary of late reports showing
American troops' advances during the
day in France.
"Our boys in France do not learn
readily when to stop fighting" he
added ..That il the spirit in which
we must raise the Liberty Loan"
Cheers greeted the news OF the
American successes. particularly
when Mr.. Strong said the Yankee
troops in their drive had reclaimed
100 square miles of territory for
France.

EVER DEVELOPED
LOUISVILLE BROKER TELLS WHY
THRIFT STAMPS ARE NEAR
EST IDEAL.
GIVE ALL CHANCE TO HELP
The Baby Bond Is Perfect Investment
and Brings the Economy Of All
the People Into Fight TO
Free the World.
tBy Harvey S. Williams, of williams
& Monroe.)

tBy Harvey S. Williams, OF williams
& Monroe.)
Finance and Investments have de
veloped into as exact a science as any
other branch OF human research, and
the doctors OF finance. better known
as bankers and brokers, have searched
as diligently for the perfect form Of
Investments as other scientists have
for perfection in their various lines.
Perfection in an investment means the
certainty OF fixed income with no pos
sibility of depreciation Of the princi-
pal. Heretofore government bonds Of
the leading nations OF the world have
come the nearest to realizing this
ideal. but since the world went to war.
even these securities have shown So
rious depreciation in sxchangeable
value.
Now. however. the United States
Government has issued a security
which. as far as I can discover. does
actually meet the requirements OF a
perfect investment. II is none other
than the humble War Savings Stamp.
or Baby Bond. and. because the
original idea was TO encourage war
time thrift and economy among the
great wage-earning army OF America.
II has been generally overlooked by
the investment classes. The outstand-
ing feature OF this security is that 1t
may be redeemed at any time before
maturity at full face value and about
per cent interest upon ten days
written notice. while II carried to ma
turity in 1923. the interest rate is 4
per cent compounded quarterly. which
will aggregate AZ per cent annually
on the investment for the entire pc
riod.
The issue OF War Savings Stamps is
limited by law to $4,000. 900 900, and in
order to give everyone chance to Sc
cure a part OF this safest investment
ever devised" a limit OF $1,000 for
each Individual was set by the Gov
eminent As the total issue repre-.
sents only about SIS for each individ,
unl in the country, the wonder is that
any effort should be necessary to sell
them. and when the investors OF mod,
crate means once realize the advan.
tage OF this form OF security, there
will be general demand for the
limit
Above all question Of selfish interest,
however. stands the great fact that
War Savings Stamps offer patriotic
Americans an opportunity to help win
the war by lending his money to Uncle
Sam in amounts ranging from twenty
five cents up. and there is no doubt
that the bringing Of the war to our
shores by the submarine campaign
viii greatly stimulate the desire to do
so
