OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

New York, Jan. 11.-Opening
dustrials, including the more povalar
war issues, yielded one to 1 IL poin s
in the early dealings on the stock ex-
change today. Shippings, coppers and

sure and the loss Of 1 LIZ points in
American Can was attributed to the
colnpany's new financing. Railroads
were irregular on nominal offerings
Liberty bcnos showed slight Improve
ment
Noon-Stocks continued to decline
during the dull forenoon, railroads
joining the movement. The few gains
included motor accessories, Peoples

variable, French rs rising a substan-
tia1 fraction while on the curb Rus
sian 51ss and 6hs roke seven and
nine points respectively on reports

URGES FEDERAL
AGENTS NOT TO
LEAVE EMPLOYE

Washington, Jan. 11-Oficers and
employees of the department Of JUS
tice were urged by Attorney General
Gregory in a notice posted today in
all offices not to leave the govern
ment service for private employment,
even at higher salary, until the war
emergency is past.
Every efficient employee of the
government who leaves its service and
goes into that of q private individual
weakens to that extent the power of
the government under existing con-
diti6ns," said the attorney general
81 therefore earnestly hope that none
of the employees of this department
will take advantage of any such offer
until the time has come when they
can do so without striking blow at
the efficiency Of the country"

FRENCH finance
IN Third Year
OF WORLD WAR
What She Has Done and
What She Expects to Do
In the Future Described.

Par4s Correspondent of the New
York Evening Post Annual Financial
Revtew.)
Lirnfting our review as far as pos
sble to French finance, we may d.
into three parts.
First, by temporiz1ng measures to
which the duration Of the war has
given an air of permanence, France
has kept well in hand the situation
resulting from the sudden and violent
suspension of normal financial opera
tons at tho outbreak of the. war.
Second, with the unstinted support
OF her banks and her people, France
has been able to borrow at home and
abroad the funds needed to carry on
her own extraordinary war expeDdi-
lures. and to continue her active aid
and cooperation n the common
finance Of the All.
Third, France, like the rest of the
world, has already begun to face a
financial and econOuic future, which
though as yet uncertain and obscure,
Is sure to be full of difficulties. No
matter what the conditions of peace
may be, certain facts VIII remain-the
falling away from the fields of world
finance, for no. one knows how long,
OF countries ike Russia, and Turkey,
not to speak OF Greece and Bulgaria;
tine an but bankrupt condition OF
Austria; the total uncertainty as to
what Will be the longer result of Ger
many's financial expedtOnts;' the re-
construction needs, already urgent, Of
W11o1e peoples and territories; and
cwhat is often overIoozed) the nee
ceEsfty of guarding against neutral
finance in It's aiding and abett1ng of
the enemy. These facts, some of
which carTy with them the conse-
uuences of international adventures
IN finance before the war. already
weigh heavily on countries of sane
national finance like France
The moratorium has meant gem
era1 suspension Of payment OF obligas
tions OF French citizens modified in
the national defense. No one denies
that this Is just But when we remem-
Der That Il applies to millions o1
/ braAdwimnsrs we shall have an idea OF
what q must mean IN the financial
I me Of the country.
One example Is th@ suspension Of
tho payments of rent for homes, from
which the families cannot be expelled
even after well nigh four years of
non-Payment- Another example Is in
the delay in taking Up commercial
paper. French tradesmen. however.
with their thousand years Of trad
fK1onz1 respect for their signature
have kept ON taking up this paper.
To France, with her special re-
sources, fell the financial task Of en-
Abling Italy first to remain neutral
and then to take her place with the
Allies: the early supplying Of Russia
with ready money; similar help tr
Rnmanfa, and more or less money
RaAYfng of Greece and even Bulgaria
and Turkey. As war dragged On, thf
financial activities of France were ex
ercised more and more through Eng.
land This has resulted IN compare
E1Eo stability OF exchange with Ameri-
ca, which has ain along been the chic
source Of supplies and. since the en-
trance of the United States into tha
Yar, OF gold.

WILSON ADDRESS
"a MAGNIFICENT
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

London, Jan. n.-Addressfng a war
aim meeting in Edinburgh last night
Arthur J. Ba1four, secretary for for
eign affairs, referring to President
Wilson'S magnificent pronounce
ment," said:
''The United States have now for
the first time in their history entered
the struggle OF civilization against
barbarism, Of freedom against tyran-
ny. 1 do not think that these new
views on cooperation in the New
World could have been introduced in
a. nobler manner than they have been
introduced in the public pronounce
ments Of President Wilson.
81 think that the day America en-
tered the war was one Of the most
important in the annals of mankind. "

COURT RESERVES
DECISION; BABY
SHOW LITIGATION

Judge John R. Booth in the COM
mon pleas court reserved his decision
last evening at the conclusion of the
hearing in the case of Walter J. Han
ford and Lou M. Rich against the
Connecticut Fair association in which
damages of $3.50 were claimed for
breach of contract.
Hanford and Rich made a contract
in July, 1916, to put On a baby show
at the fair at Charter Oak park, in
Hartford, but the contract was can
ceI1ed. Part of the contention of the
defense was that Hanford and Rich
did BUSINESS under the name of the
Babyland Amusement Co., but had no
legal right to use that name, and there
fore the contract was void.

LIBERTY BONDS
IN BANKS NOT
SUBJECT TO TAX

Banks which have Liberty bonds
for which it's subscribers are paving
and which are still in their possess
sion since they have not as yet been
paid for in full by the individuals
who bought them, viii be exempted
from taxation to the amount of the
bonds which they hold, according to
an opinion given to Tax Commits
sioner William n. Corbin by Attorney
General George E. Human yesterday
Mr.. Corbin's question to the attorney
general hinged on the point as to
whether bonds, now owned by the
banks, which are partially paid for
by individuals may be regarded as
being invested by the bank.

for a1imony of $1,000.
Allowance of 1857 was made for the
defense, and Attorney George p. Ro-
well asked an additional sum. The
motion was opposed by Attorney E.
K. Nicholson, on the ground that the
original allowance S sufficient to de-
fend, and that the additional sum is
asked for prosecution of the defend
ants cross-compIaint OF inhdelity.

London, Jan. 1.-THE morning news
papers welcome heartily the decision
of the house of lords on woman suf-
frage, which gives the vote to about
100000 women and ends the long
wrangle which has troubled the coun-
try for years. It is true that the third
reading of the bin is yet to be taken
and a motion to Submit the question
to a referendum is to be disposed of,
but it is not believed that this has
any prospect Of success even if
pressed to q vote.

Says He is Strong as an Ox' After Taking Tanlac-
 Suffered Eleven Years

The day I started on Tanlac l just weighed one hundred ana ten pounus ana Was so SICK anu miserable 1 had lost rearIy all hope or ever getting well. but l now weIgn one hundred and fifty-six and feel as well as 1 ever dld III my hfe." This remarkable statement was made recently Uy Mikel rrannan Of zO442 West 1nlrd st., Fl. Worth, Texas, who was TOT many years 8 brakeman on the Santa re railroad.
 Eleven years ago." continued MT. Grammar, "I was taken suddenly SICK with nat was said to be appendicitis. Alter spending two weeks at the nos pita: and nad by appendix removed, put my health has been all shattered ever since until this Tanlac straight ened me out. l sufIered from indlges- tion, constipation and nervousness. My appetite was no good and everything I would eat hurt me and gas would press on my heart so at times thought I was a 'goner.' Often l was almost frantic with headache and would get so nervous and shaky l couldn't hold a glass of water in my hands and would roll and toss nearly all night long and get up in the morn ings feeling half dead. l also had rheumatism all over. My feet swelled so at times I couldn't get my shoes on and I suffered so l was forced to lay in bea for weeks at a time. l just tell you I don't see how anybody could suffer more than 1 did and live.
 Well, Tanlac has ended the whole thing. I have gained back my lost fiesh-forty-six pounds-and have pick ed up until I'm as strong as an OK. I believe the very first dose made me feel better. I soon had a good ap- petite and it wasn't long until I went to work Nothing is barred from my diet now-the folks say 1 eat like a horse-and everything agrees with me My miserable feelings are all gone, my flesh is firm and Pm just like a new man. I sleep like a log every nigl.t and am fuil of new life and vigor My enthusiasm for Tanlac is unbcunded.
