HURTING THE SALE
OF LIBERTY BONDS.
PREMATURE CELEBRATIONS OF
PEACE ARE DETRIMENTAL.
PLAYING INTO kAIsER's HANDS
The Whole Scheme is German Prop
uganda To Gain Time and Pull
the Wool over the Eyes Of
American People.

Chicago. Oct S.--With reports
coming in from all over the Seventh
federal reserve district that thous-
ands of supposedly clever Americans
had permitted the kaiser's new chan
cellor to pull wool over their eyes,
there was something near to conster-
nation at the Liberty loan district
headquarters last night. 1t prompt
ed Charles H. Schweppe, director for
this district, to issue vigorous warn.
ing that the war is still far from be.
ing over.
His statement followed reports
reaching headquarters that in many
communities throughout the district
celebrations were actually being held
over the "kaiser's surrender" and
that many loan statesmen ad,practi-
cally quit work, on the theory that
the war is over.
Some Newspapers censured.
Explosions of sensationalism in
the offices of some newspapers ag-
gravated the optimism and credulity
with which so many people accepted
as an unconditional surrender" Ger
many's proposal OF conference to
discuss peace, it was said. One To-
cal newspaper was reported to have
gone so far as to send kilograms
throughout the district carrying ex-
aggerated accounts of the "surren.
der of Germany"
Alarmed at the first result of the
long expected peace offensive, Direc-
tor Schweppe issued the following
appeal to the people of Chicago and
of the Seventh federal reserve dis.
trict:
Until the central powers agree to
unconditional surrender, lay down
their arms, and evacuate the territory
they have invaded, the war spirit of
Chicago and the rest of the Seventh
federal reserve district must be kept
at the highest possible pitch.
Must Keep Up Drive.
THE news from Europe, however
much it may indicate desire on the
part Of Germany and her allies to
bring about an early termination of
the great war, must not be permitted
to swerve the Liberty loan workers
and the public in general from max.
ing the present campaign for war dol
lars huge, smashing success.
Ever since Generalissimo Foch
got into full stride in his great mill
tary movement, a peace offensive
has been expected from the central
powers, and the Bulgarian news and
the more recent flashes should not,
must not, be taken to indicate that
the kaiser and his allies are sincere
in their desire to bring hostilities to
an end.
This news, which we all hope is
based upon honest desire, may be
propaganda of the most insidious
character, propaganda calculated to
make our Liberty loan campaign
failure. 1t should in view of past
performances of Germany, only serve
to put a keener edge to our purpose
to roll up the money sought by the
government, to give Liberty loan
workers greater inspiration in their
work. and to open the public purse to
the fullest extent"

BRITISH DELAY ON
M|URMANSK COAST
EXPLAINED BY CAPTAIN OF BRIT.
ISL TRANSPORT
MONTH OF RAMAOAN BEGAN
After They Reached Port and the Mo.
hammedans Eat No Food Between.
Sunrise and Sunset. Could Not
Work Without Eating.

London, Oct. 7.-One mystery of the
British landing on the Thurman coast
in Russian polar seas has been ex
planned. A certain British transport
which had hurriedly been comman.
deered for the exposition arrived
there on schedule and disembarked
its cargo of men and supplies. 1t was
then under orders to return at once to
England. Days went by and no news
was received of it's sailing. Other
ships returned and reported that when
they left the Arctic port the missing
vessel was still at anchor. Weeks
passed and still the ship was on the
overdue list. She seemed to have made
up her mind to settle down and be
frozen in for the winter. All the news
the shipping authorities could get was
to the effect that her departure was
still delayed.
Lands at British Port.
Then the other day she turned up
in a British port, a month overdue,
and the captain was at once ordered
before the authorities to explain his
conduct. This is the indignant expla-
nation he gave privately and probably
officially, too.
Text of Explanation.
1.-The trouble was they sent me UP
there with a Lascar crew. Never had
trouble with them until we got in
those ATTITUDES. No fault of discipline,
just religion. They're all Mahom-
medans, and all devout, and, as it hap
pened, just after we got to port up
there the month of Ramadan began.
During the month of Ramadan no Ma

food between sunrise and sunset Well

twelve hours, and then instead of 60

down to wait for the sun to set so they
could eat their breakfast. Next morn.
ing by the clock they were still wait
ing. Work Stacked off bit that day.
so when it was supper time we tried
to get them to take little breakfast.
You might as well have asked to
change their religion. You couldn't
drive them to work without food, and
you couldn't make them eat without
changing their religion. What need.

AIR CONTROLS HEAT
Proper Damper Regulation Will Save
Fuel For You.

Proper Damper Regulation Will Save
Fuel For You.
In the average home only about %
per cent of the heat value is OBJ
tanned. Tests made at the University
of Wisconsin show that it is easily
possible to obtain from 40 to so per
cent and even so per cent. That
means that half the annual household
fuel bill is unnecessary and the
money paid is wasted.
Most of this saving can be accom-
plished by proper damper control
DR.. Breckenridge of the Sheffield Sci
entific School at Yale gives an i'm
portant rule, in view of the fuel short
age, when he says:
THE flow of air through the fuel
makes it burn. Learn to control it.
Try to visualize this flow of air
through the fuel and you will easily
learn how to operate the dampers to
control it properly. The draft of the
chimney is much diminished when.
by opening the check damper, cold
air is allowed to flow directly into
the chimney"
Try it yourself. Don't let your
money flow up the chimney. Better
put it into War Savings Stamps.

While peace will probably release
food supplies that are now withheld
from trade" says Alfred Vivian, Dean
of the College of Agriculture of the
Ohio State University" it will also
remove powerful food embargoes,
which will, thereby, greatly increase
the demand for food. Poland, Ru-
mania and Servia, who have been on
starvation rations for four years, will
need food in large quantities. A great
armed force must be maintained in
Europe for a time to see that the
peace treaties will not be treated as
mere scraps of paper. This means
that our enormous army will not be
demobilized in time for crop produc-
ton next year, even with the war
over. Furthermore, the entire world

CARING. FOR HOI-AIR FURNACES

The following suggestions have
been made by the Fuel Administra-
tion for the operation of hot-air fur
naces. Their observance will help
save coal for essential industries and
result in more comfort:
1. Provide cold-air drops from up
per floors so as to insure return
circulation from all rooms to the air
intake of the furnace.
2. Regulate the window OF the
cold-air box so as to avoid too great
a current of outside air, especially
on very cold days.
8. Always keep the water con-
tainer in the air-jacket filled with
clean water Moist air heats much
more readily than dry air, and is
better for health, as well as more
comfortable.
4. 1t is advisable to keep a jar
of water near one of the first floor
registers that sends out the most
heat. Change the water frequently
preferably every day.
5. Hot-air pipes should have q
good pitch upward from the furnace
and should be of sufficient diameter
They should also be wrapped with
sheet asbestos. A separate pipe for
each room with turn damper near
the furnace is good rule. Each
pipe should be labeled, so that GER
tain rooms can be shut off at the fur
mace when desired
6. Be sure the fire-boX is gas
tight. All cracks must be thoroughly
cemented or a new section put in
Otherwise coal gas will escape into
the air-jacket and be carried up di
rectly to the rooms.
