SUPERVISION
Of SECURITIES
And Expenditure of Capital
Will Continue as During
War Times to
PREVENT OVERINFLATION

Washington, Nov. 21.-Secretary
McAdoo and members of the Capital
issues Committee yesterday agreed
hat the committee should continue
indefinitely its functions Of superyls-
ing proposed issues Of stocks and
bonds for capital purposes, as
measure of rationing capital In pre-
paration for future war loans. AL
the same time it became known thai
the Treasury plans tentatively to
float about eight billion dollars more
securities during 1919, and hopes to
get at least two billions of this sum
rom war savinks.
Despite the decision to continue
the activity of the Capital Issues
Committee in an effort to suppress
fraudulent securities, which promot-
ers would seek to exchange for Lib
erty Bonds held by small purchas-
ers, considerable doubt over the fu-
ture status of the committee still ex-
lists in the mind of Secretary Me
Adoo and other Treasury officials, 1t
was said
Some advocate that Congress be
asked to give the committee COM
pulsory power which it now lacks
and without which it is feared 1t
cannot make its restrictions effective
after the ardor of wartime cooper
alton among business interests has
cooled. Others suggest that the func
tions of the committee be takken ov-
er by a Treasury agency, to which
the President might delegate his
power, conferred by the fourth Lib
erty bonds act, to regulate the sale
of Liberty bonds. In this manner It
might be possible to require promot-
ers who exchange their securities for
Liberty bonds to report regularly
the amounts of bonds thus taken in,
and these repsrts, it is felt, might
act as a restraining influence.
Members of the Capital Issues
Committee, although expressing
themselves as individually anxious
to relinquish their duties, agreed to
take up questions of relaxing their
past strict regulations to permit the
floating of bonds for public improve
ments by states, counties ana mu-
inequalities, aud to facilitate the COZ
struction of buildings in regions
where material and labor are avail
able without detracting from more
essential government projects. In
other words, the committee now in
tends to work out a systematic pro-
gram for permitting the financing OF
enterprises which will take up the
slack in industrial and labor fields
caused by cessation of war hostili-
ties.
This policy when formulated will
be set forth in a statement by the
committee. This may be issued
within few days.
Special effort will be made to dis
courage the floating of questionable
or nightly speculative security is-
sues.
Another difficult problem OF late
war financing confronting the treas
ury is the maintenance Of the exten-
sive war savings organizations built
up during the last year with thous-
ands of men and women giving their
time to the movement without com
pensation. Many of these workers
now wish to be relieved of their du-
ties but the treasury is urging them
to stay both to aid in gathering two
billions Of dollars in the campaign
of 1919 and to preach the doctrine
of continued thrift.

FOLLOWING THE ARMY

With the American Army OF OccL
patton, Nov 21.-After a successful
two-day march towards the Rims
the American ThirG Army is organ
izing its systems OF communications
and supplies, doing everything on a
strictly war basis.
The army is being oerated on d
full schedule of corps and divisions,
entailing an enormous amount OF
Signal Corps and Engineer work,
not only for today's needs, but in
building the foundation of a system
to extend into Prussia. Each day $
progress, of course, will add to the
tanks Of supplying the 100000 men
composing our army of liberty.
When we halted last night our
outposts were close to the borders
of Luxembourg and Lorraine, where
we stopped to await further orders.
In the snow, civilians and released
prisoners continue co pour through
our lines. The Third Army is do
ing a great emergency work in feed
ing and caring for these people,
many of whom are in bad physical
condition from lack of food.
In our march we have so far lib
Grated some 200 French and Belgian
towns and villages and more than
100000 civilians.
Americans in VirtOn
Nov. S.-This pretty little Belgian
city of Virton belongs to the Ameri-
cans tonight, it and everything in it
the willing gife of 1000 inhabitants
to whom the doughboy from Ameri-
ca today brought deliverance after
fifty months under the yoke Of the
boches, who left so little ahead of
the Americans entry that some of
them were overtaken.
Truly, to these Belgians Ameri-
ca is Gods country, for it represents
to them not only their saviors, their
rescurers but the nation which has
fed them for four years. With tears
in their eyes they assured me today
that they would have starved had 1t
not been for America, and in their
enthusiastic Joy they declared they
would saill be slaves of the Hun ii
it had not been for the Americans.

SEA-CULL WAS
LOST TILL 1T
ESPIED SAILORS

Seattle, Wash, April S0.-That the
sea gull is one of the most intelligent
of birds is asserted by Ensign H. NJ.
Delanty of the naval training station
here. The officer says that while on
recruiting duty in an automobile
recently, he and his party found, far
inland, a lone sea gull sitting on a
fence post, apparently registering des-
pair having flown SO far inland that
it had seemingly lost it's way back to
salt water, if such were possible. On
seeing the machine filled with blue
clad memo -warsmen, the gull, with a
wierd cry that might have expressed
recognition of the, familiar uniform,
tapped off the post and followed the
car. which was headed in westerly
direction toward the sea. When the
party stopped at small town for
dinner, the gull continued his fight
toward the general direction of the
nearest arm of the ocean.

American officers say opportunities
are opening up for allied offensive
action in both Italy and Macedonia.
Other Fronts Weakened.
Bulgaria's position is particularly

strengthened by the reorganized
Greek army, which can be counted on
for valuable assistance in offensive
operation.
Germany, officers here say, would

brought about by the huge German
losses il the Teuton drive.
The aspects of the great struggle
has been changed within the last two
or three days. The channel ports are

chance that Ypres can be held.
Not a Foot Gained.
London, April 3O.-One of the most
desperate German attacks of the en-
tire west front offensive has been held
without the gain of a foot of ground.
The fighting still continues at some
points.
Field Marshal Haig's official report
last night showed that the enemy as
sault on the ten mile front between
Meteren and Ziliebake lake, which be-
gan early yesterday after terrific ar
tillery preparation, was completely re-
pulsed.
The British troops. despite a con-
slant succession of determined attacks
in great strength maintained their line
intact" Haig said. The enemy losses
have been very heavy"
The French positions on the hills
about Scherpenberg and Mont Rouge
(about midway between Meteren and
Zillebeke) also were heavily attacked
and the enemy was repulsed," said
the statement.
Counters Drove Them Out.

fs ntry succeeded in penetrating a
short distance into the French posi-
lions they were Immediately driven
out by a counter attack"
An attack on the Belgian positions,

after sharp fighting.
The terrific bombardment of the
British line between Lens and Arras
yesterday failed to develop any infan-
try action.
The German official statement
merely said that ION the Flanders
battle front, from midday on, artillery
fire was revived" The capture of T.
90 prisoners, SO cannon and 233 ma

Justice Rev. U. G. Miller, of the Chris

and costs and sentenced to attend
church for ten consecutive Sundays.
Shift had slapped a boy under age
over the boys actions around the gar

mention was made by the justice as
to what church Shift should attend
or whether it should be the morning
or evening service. Shift claims he
is a Catholic and the nearest Catholic

that unless he reported at church on
Sundays, the marshal would be in
structed to escort him to meeting.
