TREASURY WATCH DOG,
IS VIEW OF Mr.. GLASS
Capitol Hill Predicts New Secre-
tary Will Be Jealous
Guardian.

When announcement was made of
the selection Of Carter Glass Of vir-
GINA to be Secretary Of the Treasury
to succeed Mr.. McAdoo the dominant
thought in the minds Of his colleagues
in Congress. and doubtless also Of
men familiar with his record and with
the needs of the country's fiscal sys-
tenn, was that the spirit of the federal
reserve act will continue to be pre-
served and that the safest and sound
est financial policies will continue to
be followed.
1t is now admitted by all leaders of
financial thought in the country and
by men actually engaged in carrying
on finance in high and lesser positions
that the American federal reserve act
has proved the bulwark of safety for
this country in the troublous times
that have passed and likely to remain
so in the serious times still ahead.
Any change in policy which would de-
part from strict adherence to the
principles of the act in which 1t was
designed by Congress would be
viewed with serious apprehension by
the men who must manage the bill
lions Of private moneys used in the
industrial affairs of the land.
Helped Frame the Act.
Carter Glass is recognized as hay-
ing had more to do with the framing
of the act than probably any other in
div1dual, since he watched it closely
through all it's legislative stages, on
guard against assaults, insidious or
open, which might have weakened it's
intended effect. He knows it by heart
and has closely followed it's applica-
ton in detail.
Secretary Glass also is recognized as
being non-inf1ationist in national
finances. He, with others of his way
of thinking, have observed the IN
preventable and tobe expected infia-
ton of necessity attendant upon the
war, but all the time standing by to
assist in putting check TO imitation
whenever possible.
1t is believed in Congress that Sec
rotary Glass will remain the watch
full observer. with hand on the brake,
to stop imitation and reverse when OPP
portunity affords. His position as ex-
officio head of the Federal Reserve
Board. the national banking system
and the war boards, which control
new financing places him where he
can do immense good in this direction.
To Work With Congress.
In Congress it also is believed that
Secretary Glass, by virtue of his long
service in the House and familiarity
with all the processes of legislating
on appropriations, will stand ready to
support the policy which prevails in
both parties in each branch of Con-
gress of retrenchment in government
expenditures. He will scan the esti-
mates and no doubt will scale them.
it is thought, and will work in har-
mony with Congress rather than in
opposition.
On Capitol Hid they speak of the
new Secretary as likely to be q real
watch dog Of the Treasury" as well
as jealous guardian of the spirit and
essence of the federal reserve act

Bass Lured by Bright Light.

Here is a fish story based on an oc-
currence at Pontoosuc lake, In Maine.
A pair of bullhead fishermen were In
a boat anchored some distance of
Broadway and 1t was quite dark. An
other boat with two men In II an
chored a short distance away and the
men began fishing. The first fish to be
caught was a small rock bass. "Give
me that fish," said the other. II was
handed to him by the n who caught
1t and he threw 1t at one of the men
In the other boat, whom he knew. The
fish whizzed by this mans head and
landed In the boat, on the bottom of
which was a lighted lantern. "Gosh u

Jumped right into the boat In trying

FINDING NO Be CRES,
YkNKS CHASE RABBIT
FORGET All About the War When
Bunny Jumps Up Under
Their Feet.

French and American batteries
pounded the German lines for five
hours preceding the attack against the
st. Mihie, salient from the west.
When the doughboys went over the
top in Les Eparges sector there was
not an answering shot from the Ger
man trenches opposite. The gunfire
had so shattered the nerves Of those
who survived the bombardment they
could not emerge from their deep dug
outs.
Two American soldiers dashed
across "No Mans land in the lead,
raced through to the enemy's barbed
wire entanglements. riven and pulver-
lied by the artillery, and leaped over
the parapet into the German trench.
Just then two white rabbits ducked
III from q corner and ran round the
corner of the traverse. 1t was all so
quiet, with nary a live German in
sight, not the suspicion of a machine
gun nor an answering shot from the
German batteries in the real that the
Yanks forgot all about war, the attack,
the Boches and everythin@ else. They
just did what any average fellows
would do, started chasing the rabbits.
They beat it down the first line
trench, stumbling over the debris
where the American shells had caved
in the parapet every few yards and
finally rounded up the pair of rabbits,
nice and fat and tender.
When their platoon commander
burst into the trench, having been de
layed a little by a patch of barbed
wire still standing, he found the two
men arguing as to whether they should
eat the rabbits or keep them as pets.

CRUELTIES OF BULGARS
Only Quarter of Population in Sores
After Two Years Occupation.

Only Quarter of Population in Sores
After Two Years Occupation.
When Sores, in Greek Macedonia,
was occupied by the Bulgarians in De
cember, 1916, the inhabitants num-
bered $4,000. Since that time 5000 of
these have died. 1000 have been de
ported, and 1000 men and boys have
been put to work or the construction
of roads. Today the population is be
tween 5000 and 5000.
Bulgarian documents which have
been found in the Macedonian towns
show that large numbers of deaths
were due to the indifference of the
Bulgarian authorities to the condition
of the civilian population. Wholesale
deportations were made and cruelties
inflicted which were not justified by
the necessities of war. Not only were
the military authorities involved in
this work, but the civil officers were
tyrannous toward the people.
Churches were looted and private
houses were stripped of their furni-
ture, which was placed in officers
quarters. The interment of bodies In
the cemeteries were made in a hap
hazard way. and no inscriptions were
placed over the graves. so that surviv,
ing relatives do not know the resting
places of their loved ones.

road near Pagny sur Mouse. A dough-

stopped our car, saying that an

had struck a child and broken his leg.
He also explained that the rider had
sustained a dislocated shoulder.
There were no hospitals or doctors
In the town, so we stopped and I told
