ERECT MONUMENT
FOR AMERICAS FIRST

Paris, Sept. 20.-0Corres pondence
of The Associated Press).-In men,
oriam to the first three soldiers of the
American army who fell in action ON
November 3, 1917, a monument con-
sisting of a tall granite column de-
signed by Louis Majorelle will be
erected at Bathelement, located in the
sector where the heroes fell.
One side of the shaft will be en-
graved with the following inscription:
'fSons of their great and glorious
country, they fought for right, for lib
'erty and civilization against German
Imperialism, the seourge of the hui
man race. They died on the field of
honor"
On another side will be inscribed
the names OF the heroes as follows.
Corporal J. e. Gresham, Evansville.
Private Thomas P. Enright, Pitts
burgh.
Private Merle Hay, Glidden."
1.-The cross of Lorraine is sculptur-
ed on another side. 1t is encircled in
a symbolical wreath. The cross bears
the inscription, Franco-United States
1917; from Lorraine to the United
States ;"
Bathelemont was in the direct line
of fire in the operation in which the
three Americans participated 1t has
not been thought appropriate to erect
the column on the exact spot whore
the heroes fell. The work of provid
ing the recognition was supervised by
NJ. sMirmany project OF the department
Meurthe-et-Moselle, where Bathele
mont is located.
A reproduction OF the monument will
be placed in Nancy and facsimile
sent to William G. Sharp, the United
States ambassador to France.

lear OF THE FUTURE.

Commenting, very optimistlcaly, on the splr-
itual element in the economic world, Commerce
and Finance, has this to say:
'By faith Columbus voyaged across the un-
known waters of the western ocean to disco er
the continent that we have inherited; by faith
our forefathers developed it and established
here a government conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal; by faith we undertook and are
successfully prosecuting great war to secure
4 worldwide acceptance of that proposition,
and by faith the seemingly impossible has been
accomplished in mobilizing the men and raising
the money necessary for that war.
"And now as we seem measurably near the
end of the struggle there are to be heard the
voices of those who predict that long period
of economic depression will follow its successful
termination. :.
They say that wages and prices must de-
cline, that great overproduction will ensue, that
want and distress will be general and that the
costs of the war of which the present excite
ment has made us almost oblivious will have
TO be finally met amidst great travail"
How can peace possibly bring upon us such
disasters low wages and great overproduc-
ton?
1t is true that we will be paying the cost of
this war for good many years to come, but
peace will find practically all the foreign civil
lied world short of everything, with the United
States the great producer and provider, equip
ped as no other nation with ships This, to say
nothing of the fact that this country, as the
great creditor nation, will be drawing interest
on billions of loaned money, directly or indi-
rectly.
During our war period investment in new en-
te1Frises Of ordinary character is almost at a
standstill. Tens of thousands of factories and
other industries have been altered for and de.
voted to production of war material. Peace
means that these businesses must be changed
back to production Of peace necessaries, at
time when the whole world will be demanding
such as never before in all human history. How
j. over-produetion possible? What possible
grounds for reduction in wages?
Moreover, while the purchasing power of thu
American dollar is now low and may furthe

THE MEANING OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
TO THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.
What is the Liberty Loan?

It's forts and it's ships and it's shining guns
It's squadrons that sweep the sea.
It's all Of the circling band of steel
That shall keep all the home shores free
It's grub and it's warmth for the sailor lad
Far out on the wintry foam.
For the brave jack tar as he fights afar,
It's the good old Money from home"
What is the Liberty Loan?
It's rife and helm and it's bayonet
It's shovel and shard and shell
For the soldier boy in the olive drab,
Out there on the edge of hell.
It's the soaring wings of the whirring planes
That battle on high alone.
For the lad who is daring Over there"
It's the good old Money from home"
What is the Liberty Loan?
It's suecor= and life for bleeding world.
It's the glim1ner of Peace at dawn.
It's the strength of a mighty arm to strike.
It's the CLEAN Of great sword, drawn.
But, more than all, it's the pledge of love
TO the lads whom we call Our own
To the boys on land, afioat, on high,
It's the good old Money from home"

Governors Island, owing to the fact
that the Mongolia navigating officer

SUFFERING CAUSED
BY MILK EXTORTION
Mrs. Sullivan Narrates Cases
at Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo's Investigation.

Great suffering among children in
poor families on the East Side and
lower West Side 10 resulting from cur
tailed milk consumption due to high
prices, according TO report of
house 70 house survey which Mrs.
Mary A. Sullivan. O welfare worker,
placed before Chief City Magistrate
McAdoo at tho John Doc milk inquiry
yesterday.
Mrs. Sullivan described conditions as
she found them az appalling. Children
are undernourished. she said, and
many actually are dying because OF a
lack OF mike There are nursing ba-
bies in nearly all tho large families
she visited, she added, and the poorly
nourished mothers are not able TO
provide them with proper food. Be-
cause OF the prohibitive price OF milk
these unhappy mothers. she said. can
not substitute cows milk for mothers
Mrs. Sullivan told OF the case Of
mother in Norfolk street with seven
children ranging in age from 1 to ID
years. Her husband deserted her sew
eral months ago and the rent Of
three small rooms Is being paid by a
charitable Hebrew organization. -Four
OF the children have been Ill OF Span
ish influenza. Milk has been pre-
scribed by the Department of Health
but the mother is able to buy only one
quart a day. She pays IA cents at
store.
When milk was s or cents the
family used three quarts daily. The
children are now fed on Coffee and
tea.
She described the eight children OF
an italian couple living in Front street
as "emaciated and poorly nourished."
The mother Is in poor health and her
baby died OF malnutrition a month
ago.
Mrs. Sullivan cited a number OF
other instances OF poor families where
the children were plainly showing the
| i'll effects Of insufficient nourishment.
Are these conditions calculated to
make good. healthy citizens for the
future9" asked John T. Dooling, AS
sistant District Attorney.
Quite the contrary" was the reply.
John D. Miller OF Susquehanna, Pa
| counsel for the Dairymens League,
who was much interested in Mrs. Sui
| livan's testimony. looked at some OF
her photographs. showing groups OF
poorly fed children. and said: Poor
little kidsl They look as If they did
not have much chance"
IT'S a damned shame, isn't it?' ex-
claimed Mr.. Dooling.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo asked Mr.
Miller what he thought of the condi-
| lions as described by Charles McAr-
thur, the u sSchess county farmer. who
swore that the Dairymen's League
| forced him out OF the milk producing
business after he became member
because he wouldn't pay dues for
! three year period during which his
I father refused to Join.
| Mr.. Miller said he thought the con.
! ditions were deplorable, IL true"
The counsel admitted that the Dali
rymens League is exempt from prose
cution under the Dounelly antitrust
act as amended. and said he considered
the amendment a good one. He sait
he helped to pass it. He denied tina
the price of milk had been arbitrarily
raised and declared that a days wage:
