Washington, Dec. 31.-Liberty
bond dealers who buy bonds at less
than the market quotation were
condemned today by Secretary Glass
in telebram to Joseph Hartigan,
chief Of the foreign language d.
vision of the New York Liberty Loan
organization.
IT am gratified to learn" said Mr..
Glass, "that 20 foreign language
newspapers in New York, represent
ing Is foreign languages, have
agreed to decline to publish adver-
tising of INSCRIPTIONS sharpers who
buy Liberty bonds for less than their
actual value. AS a newspaper pub
Usher, I venture the suggestion that
1t is the duty of publishers to pro-
tect their readers against the un-
scrupulous.

CRITICISM Of
GEN. BURLESON
For Taking Over the Gables
After the Armistice Was
Signed
ALMOST BROKE FAITH
ALMOST BROKE FAITH

Washington, Dec. 31.-Criticism
of Postmaster General Burleson for
taking over the marine cables after
the signing of the armistice was re-
newed yesterday in the Senate. SEN
ator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, precipitated the discussion
after presenting a Letter from Mr.
Burleson n which the Postmaster
General denied he had exceeded hts
authority and asserted the order
taking over the cables had been
signed by the President November
Senator Hitchcock said the Post
master General had come Every
close to breaking faith with Con-
gress' and that he was not justified
in taking over the cables after hos
tilities ceased He also accused
Mr.. Burleson Of suppressing the Or
der for some time.
Senator Watson, Republican OF
Indiana, charged that the date on
the order had originally been fixed
at November IA, but because of the
signing Of the armistice sooner than
expected, it was changed to Novenl
ber 2.
Senator Kellog, of Minnesota, Re-
publican, said he had been informed
the order was signed by the Presi-
dent on November 2, but it was not
countersigned by the Secretary of
State and it was never published or
exhibited to anyone until after the
war had closed and the armistice
been signed"
In his letter to Senator Hitchcock
Mr.. Burleson said:
"Of course, my dear Senator, no
one knows better than you that a
public official is not called upon to
notice the mouthings Of irresponsi-
BILE blatherskites why may criticise
or missrepresent his official actions,
but when a critical statement Is
made by a. Senator of the United
States it not only justifies but calls
for response.
"Of course, 1t is not true that I
have of my own will ruthlessly seiz-
ed and taken possession Of these ca
bles: of course it is not true that !
have taken possession of thine Just
to crafty my personal convictions,
personal opinion and personal wish
es; Of course it Is not true tn, I
have reached out to control acti
ties the Congress did not intend to
put into my hands. feel that a re-
ply to all such charges can be con-
clusively made by quotations from
q motion to dismiss filed by the rep
resentative of the law department
of our government made by direc-
tion of the attorney general of the
United States to = silly suit recent
ly instituted (for publicity purpos-
esq in court known to be without
jurisdiction against the postmaster
general in which these unfounded
chanrges are set forth"
Mr.. Burleson In his letters also
branded as utterly without foun-
dation" charges that much Of the
mail addressed to soldiers overseas
fails to reach its destination.

by talking to him You might try set
ting examples before him Invite his
friends or other young people his age,
whose manners are all they should be.
to your house to dinner often. and
ask Young ladies as well as young
men. He may become ashamed to
exhibit to their critical eyes the crude
manners he habitua1ly display before
you. 1 think it would be better never
to speak on the subject but to place
him as often as possible in position
either a gentleman or a boor, in the.
presence of people whose opinion he
IS sure to care about. And never al
log your own manners to lapse from
perfection whether others are present
or not He may often embarrass YOU
when you have guests; but the plan is
worth trying, anyway

to cease to go with the young man
who has been so devoted in his at

You had better cease to accept his in

that you do not care for him If you
were engaged to him IL would be an
