 The secretary expresses the hope that every purchaser of a Liberty Bond will realize that the only genuine help that he gives his government is keeping his bond as an investment so long as it is pos sible for him to do so. He states, however, that no just objection lies to the sale ofia Liberty Bond where real necessity exists for it's sale.

CITY PLANNING FOR FRANCE
Of Towns by sombardment Of the German Armies

There is no great loss, according 10 homely philosophy, without some slight gain. Great disasters often lead to better conditions. The old fable of the phoenix rising from its ashes is essentially true.
 France is to profit by the ruin of so many of her cities. So her people have decreed. When the German armies are driven from her soil, her maimed towns are to be rebuilt. But they will not be reconstructed along former lines. The narrow streets will not be restored, The buildings centuries old, picturesque, perhaps, but scarcely san other homharded cities are to be re- built according to the latest plans of experts in city planning. They are to be models on which cities untouched by German cannonades will look with envy.
 But that is not all. France has de- cided that she cannot afford in future to allow towns and cities to grow up in the old haphazard way. A law has heen adopted which compels every mu- nicipality to organize a planning con- mission, which will decide on its fu- ture growth. Every improvement will have to conform to the city plan, whether it is made in newly developed territory, ar replaces construction of long standing. Paris, having outgrown the IiausSmann plans, has organized bureau which will care not only for the city, but for the whole metropolitan, area. 7
