AFTER LIBERTY BOND FAKERS.
Those Who Subscribed and Failed to
Cash In

New York, May 2l.-Agents from the
New York federal reserve bank have
started an investigation of the recent ac-
tivity of those patriots who, with much
display in theatres and other public
places, subscribed to the third Liberty
loan under names and addresses other
than their own.
1t became known to-day that there are
many thousands of these patriots who,
in ordei to obtain Liberty loan buttons
and for the purpose of diplay, signed up
for many hundreds and thousands of
bonds that still are awaiting ownership.
These wouldIbe patriots were able to
receive the glory without being detected
because in signing the blanks they did
not have to make any payment of mon
ey at the time they made out their
subscription" As they cannot be forced
to live up to their contract to purchase
bonds, the banks agents can only try
to persuade them to make good, that is
those who can be found.
The bank on completing its canvass of
these Liberty bond takers, it is said,
will make some announcement relative
to the amount OF the fictitious subscrip-
ton. 1t has been suggested that some
additional limelight might be given the
so-called Qualification army" by publish
ing the names of those who subscribed
under their own names, but did not pay.

WATERBURY AND THE RED CROSS.
Unsolicited Statement by Hermon D.
Hopkins.

To Everybody Interested: AS chair
man for Washington county OF the Red
Cross second war fund campaign, | am
more than glad to state that, instead of
the amount 1861 given me from head
quarters as Waterburys contribution to
the first war fund, that town gave S57 !.
The official" figures, publicly quoted
by me in the meeting at Waterbury
Sunday evening land seemingly account
ed for by information previously given
me in Waterbury, that the town had no
war fund campaign in 1910 were used
solely for such impetus as they might
furnish in the 1918 campaign.
The confusion of figures may have
originated in the fact that Waterbury
combined membership drive and its
first war fund drive in one well reward
ed effort. Or it may be that the error
arose in relaying by typewriter sheets a
round sum of $500 as $500. What
ever the cause of error in the amount re-
ported to me it is perfectly evident that
Waterbury gave S57l and that the sum
reached its proper destination; | have
seen to-day the vouchers in proof OF this.
Having done so well, it is not in the
least to be wondered that Waterbury
citizens resent the misinformation which
came back to them through me. And
I'll gladly "take the cussin'," if Water
burys good people, who know how
mistakes will happen in the best regu-
lated families" will realize the chaos
which must have resulted when the Red
Cross mothers" family suddenly jumped
to 22,0OO,0OO children, and will not let
their natural resentment work to her
hurt, and to the withholding in this

GERMANS EATING DOGS.

New York, May 2l.--Csmel meat. dog
meat and horse meat are being eaten in
SaSony by the poorer classes, according
to the "Berliner Tageblatt" of April Z,
a copy of which has been received here.
The camel meat is being sold in Sc
wickau and comes from the Mohair cam
els of the Hagenback menagerie, which
gave show in Zurickwa in March. The
camels were sold to butcher because
of lack of fodder. The larger camels
gave from 800 to 400 pounds of meat.
Consumption of dog meat and horse
meat has increased greatly owing to the
wartime scarcity of meat and the price
also has gone up.

CHANGES COLOR,
But SAME VALUE
Next Years, Stamps Should
Not Be Affixed to This
Years Cards, 1t is An.
n0unCed.

1 Washington, Dec. 13.-The pro.
gram for sale of war savings stamps
in 1919, announced today by the
treasury, is almost identical with
that followed this year. In January
the stamps worth S. face value will
be sold for $4.l2 and will increase
|. cent a month until next Decem-
Der. They will mature January /
1924.
Thrift stamps costing Is cents
each, will be sold throughout the
year. They will be identical in de-
sign and size with the present thrift
stamps, but will be blue instead oil
green. The war savings stamps
also blue, are considerably smaller
than the present issue.
New cards on which war savings
stamps are to be attached will be
issued and 1919 stamps should not
be attached TO old cards If a war
savings certificate has been only
partially filled with this years war
savings stamps, it will be entirely
valid and may be redeemed eventual
ly at the maturity value of the
stamps it bears.
Indications are that the sale OF
war savings stamps this year will
be about $l.OO0,0O00OO, as $93O,OoO,.
600 in sales have been reported to

Uniform Traffic Laws
Urged by Association
Of Highway Officials

Chicago, Dec. l3. A resolution
endorsing the Page bill.4now pend
ing in congress, increasing the ted
eral appropriation for through route
highways $l00,000,000 year, was
adopted today at the closing session
of the fourth annual meeting Of the
American Association Of Highway
Officials, Other resolutions passed
favored uniform traffic control laws
and uniform non-glare headlight
laws.
The capital issues committee was
urged Immediately to remove all re-
strictions on highway bonds and the
war industries board was asked to
remove restrictions on steel needed
for highway bridges.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton favoring an amendment to the
federal aid road act, which would
change the present dollar for dol
ar basis of federal aid to a grad
uated scale, based on state valua-
zion, population and mileage. Under
this plan the government would con-
tribute, for example, 80 per cent. 90
per cent or 50 per cent, depending
OH the needs OF the situation.
