With the American Forces in Pi-

into the mess. They are probably, the
rotenest cigars ever made. Help your

Despite the reputation given the CT

mess. And this is story of the mess,
Ii started on the march to Picardy,
far back in little town in the mobili'
cation area. IL sported pancakes for
breakfast. Then ii began to produce
pie-reai pie. From that, as the march
went on and new villages became
headquarters, it developed steaks,
roasts, boiled beef, asparagus, cauli'
flower, peas, potatoes in various dis
guise, including salad, and on TO the
point of deserving French war bread
for the real American white loaf. But
the climax was reached when the mess
sergeant discovered a COW. Then real
milk appeared on the table, instead OF
the canned variety.

Chance For Offensive.

Washington June 12.-The army
need for officers has become so great
that a series of training camp sessions
will soon be open for civilian candi'
dates.
The need for artillery officials is
especially great.
The plan that has been permanently
decided on is to have eleven hundred
men from civilian life and twelve hun
dred men from the ranks enter into
the training camps each month.
Only men from civilian life who are
above draft age will be accepted as
candidates. Those who have technical
education will be the ones sought.

The Fun Goes On.

Says Bond Prices
Should Discount
Peace by 6 Months
Banker Finds Investment
Prices Lowest When War
Strain Is Greatest

In war time the lowest level of prices
for bonds occurs during that period
when the economic strain Is the great
est and before q reasonably definite
period can be fixed for the achieve
ment Of peace, according to Howard S.
Mott, of the Irving National Bank, in a
comparative discussion of the present
day course of bond prices and in
vestment conditions during the Civil
War period.
''It will also be reasonable to con-
clude," says Mr.. Mott, that bond in
vestments made during a war are like
ly to show profits in the years follow
ing war, even though purchases
should not happen to be made at the
period of maximum economic strain.
Supremacy of Liberty Bonds
"a further conclusion of more than
usual interest at the present juncture."
he adds, "lies in the consideration that,
with the prospects of high taxation for
some time after the war and the rela-
tive freedom of Liberty bonds from
taxation, the war obligations Of the
United States government should
prove to be quite as satisfactory IN tho
future as any investments which pres
emily could be made"
The record of bond prices during the
Civil War period, according to Mr.
Mott, shows that the greatest depres-
sion in sentiment and in bond prices
occurred in 1864. the year following
the Battle of Gettysburg the turning
point of the war. AT that time the
South was purely on the defensive.
''In the event" says Mr.. Mott, "that
the present war does not proceed TO g
triumphant conclusion in the manner
which hope generates as q result of
recent successes, it seems not unrea-
sonable to expect one or two years of
the bloodiest fighting of the war. ard
enormous losses may be the cost of
progress to the Rhine. In such case,
depressed sentiment similar to that of
the North in 1864 may hereafter exist,
even though our hearts agony may
never persuade US to accent defeat.
The only implication it could carry as
related to the prices of bonds would
be a prolongatior of the war. while
national debt multipies. taxation in
creases and the purchasing power of
the dollar continues to fall. Such
events conceivably would bring about
lower bond prices"
When Defeat Comes
Defeat left the South utterly pros
trate. The German people have no
wish to be destroyed. Mr.. Mott points
out. Germany does not yet admit de-
feat, and no doubt it will take hard
fighting to convince her that the game
is up. But Mr.. Mott believes that Ger
-. IL
sooner than a mere military analogy
might lead one to expect He points
out that in any event. judging by the
Civil War comparison. bond prices
should discount peace by at least six
months.

Wheat.-Big reserve stocks are ac-

will serve to supply both domestic and
foreign needs later in the season.
Present export requirements as we'll
as the milling demand are being sup
piled largely by the movement direct
from the farms. Early in the season
when there was some question about
the price Of wheat, farmers were slow
about selling, but since the price was
definitely fixed there has been tre-
mendous rush to market and the visible
has increased with almost incredible
rapidity. In some Of the Southwestern
states wheat has been marketed so
rapidly that millers are beginning to
fear that when next year comes around
there may be a shortage of wheat on
the farm and mills will have to buy
from government elevators. In this
respect the question naturally arises

charge and what profits will be obtain
