M'ADOO BOOSTS WAR STAMPS
Former Treasury Chief Asks New
Effort in Campaign Here

William G. McAdoo, former Secretary
of the Treasury. has appealed to Phila-
delphia to put over" the war savings
stamp campaign before the close of this
year. In a message to William West,
State director of the war savings COM
mittee, Mr.. McAdoo says:
" most earnestly urge upon y9y, that

Optimistic Business Outlook

In its regular monthly letter for De-
cember the National City Bank of New
York takes the following optimistic view
of the business outlook for this country:
1T Is not possible to doubt that a
great period Of prosperity awaits the
country as soon as the readjustments to
peace basis are made. and in our opin-
ion the required readjustments are not
such as to occasion alarm. The situa-
tion is inherently strong. Stocks Of
goods Of all kinds are low all over the
world, and people have been economizing
In purchases until their needs are press
ing.
This country could have had a great
foreign trade during the last year. de-
spite high prices, but for the embargoes
and shortage of shipping. Construction
and repair work is behind. Germany. the
greatest steel exporter before the war,
has exported none for four years. Bel
gium and France, also exporters of
steel have sold none in the same time,
and England's sales have been greatly
reduced. These arrearages naturally
must be made up.
''In the past the consumption of steel
was always rapidly increasing. and 1t
may be expected to increase even more
rapidly in the future. The demands of
Europe upon the European supply will
be SO great that the other world markets
will have to look largely to the United
States for early attention. Furthermore,
this country's capacity to absorb iron
and stee! is very great, and there Is un-
questionably a heavy domestic demand
in waiting.
THE one question which cannot be
definitely answered is as to what prices
must be made to bring this demand for
ward promptly"

Bodies Not to Be Removed From
France Till Wars End

Washington, Dec. 6.-(By A. P)-
The decision Of the War Department
that the bodies of American soldiers who
lost their lives in France should remain
buried In that country until after the
end Of the war, was reached in agree
ment with the Government OF France
This is disclosed in the annual report
Of Major. General Harris, adjutant gen.
eral, made public today.
"Under articles agreed upon by the
United States and the French Govern
ment," General Harris says, "the re-
mains of all soldiers who die in France
are to lie buried in France until the
termination of the war"
It was because of this agreement, the
report says. that relatives are informed
OF the place of burial Of soldiers in
France whenever this information Is
obtainable.

Municipal Bonds Improve

There has been a material improve
ment in municipal bonds since the sign
ing of the armistice. which has permitted
various cities throughout the country
offering substantial amounts for which
they have realized premium. whereas
prior to the ending of fighting in Europe
they would have been compelled to ac-
cept discount. Sales of State and
municipal bonds in November were
about $l9,500,00o. and the first eleven
months OF 1918 were approximately
$3.50, 100000. While the total for Mo-
vember shows an increase over last year
that for the eleven months is materially
below the corresponding period OF 1917
For the first time 1t became known
with the publication Of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo's report that the
United States Government has purchased
in the open market about $244.o00.o00
of Liberty Bonds at an average price
OF S6.
