PUTSHUN MONEY
 INTO TREASURY
Associated Preas1

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 26- Alien Property Custodian Mitchell A. Palmer this afternoon gave the Unit. ed States treasurer a check for $50,- 770.000. which represents the per sonal side of the accounts held by German interests in American banks. This money will be used by the government for any purpose neces- sary. and 1t may or may not be re- quired to reimburse the owners, suit ing its own convenience in this re- gard.
 This money Is small in compari- son to the money value of the Am erican property which Is owned by German interests. It is variously estimated that German holdings in America are worth billions of dol lars. Many of these will probably be placed on the market and sold to the highest American bidder as soon as the necessary legislation Is en- acted by congress.

 This has been reciprocated in kind by the German gas batteries, but the doses which the Sammy artillery men have sent against them were twice as large as those received. The American gunners are con- pletely outfghting the enemy and doing considerable damage to the German defense works.
 Richecourt. one of the towns used for target by the American guns, has been almost demolished by the heavy shell fire and has been con- pletely abandoned by the enemy. It formerly sheltered large numbers Of the enemy soldiers.

WILL ENFORCE
 POSTAL RULES
 FOR OVERSEAS

From the office of the second as- sistant postmaster general at Wash ington, D. C.. relative to the mailing of matter liable 10 injure the person or damage the mails in packages for members of the American expe1i. tionary forces, it is stated that. not withstanding the notices that have been issued from time to time warn. ing the public against sending un- mailable articles in packages to mem. bers of the American expeditionary forces in France, systematic exam. ination at New York and Chicago discloses that unmailabe articles. such as matches, alcohol, explosives and inflammables, continue to be found in packages. even though the packages themselves are marked by postmasters as containing no prohib- ited articles.
 These are serious instances of vio- lations of the regulations, and for the information of senders and post masters attention is drawn to the fact that 1t is violation of the law to knowingly place in the mails packages containing articles known to be unmailable. for which viola tion the revised statutes provide penalty upon conviction of fine of not more than s5,0O0 or imprison. ment for not more than ten years. or both.
 Postmasters are -directed to eX- clude from the mails all unmailable matter, and they are consequently responsible for the admission of un- mailable matter when such is found in the mails. Besides this, they may be held jointly responsible with the senders of the unmailable matter should fire or explosion result from the presence of unmailable matter in the mails, whether the fire or eX- plosion occurs in this country or abroad
 In view of the strict accountability to which postmasters will be held hereafter for the admission of un- mailable articles in the mails, it is necessary for postmasters to see to it that senders are fully informed as to the articles that are not mail able, and. moreover, to examine :! ackages for articles prohibited, which articles. if found, should be returned to the senders, who should be informed of the law, as get forth
 in Section 472, and warned that violation of the law will be dealt with through the proper authorities.
 While no infractions have been noted in Fairbanks so far, there will be a strict compliance on the part of the public demanded by the postal authorities.

(Associated pvcssD


 WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. G. Senator New, Republican from In. diana, this morning attempted to re. open the fight against the war de- partment by criticising an alleged delay in the construction of air planes for the Americans in France. The senator declared that the de- partment was either deceived re- garding the condition of the aerial program or had misled the senators.
 The shortage in planes, he de- clared, Is alarming. Instead of 12,000 machines" he declared. which 1t is proposed to have ready for service in France at the beginning of next July, only thirty.eight have been de. livered."

SUGGESTION BY
 THE DELEGATE
 WELL RECEIVED

The Citizen is in receipt of let ter from Washington, D. C., in which is set forth some suggestions made by Delegate Charles Sulzer on mat ters pertaining to Alaska. The sug- gestions made are herewith set forth:
 Washington. March 1.-Delegate Charles A. Sulzer received word to- day from Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Otto Praeger that the postoffice department has directed the superin- tendent of the railway mail service at Seattle, Washington. to notify the postmasters at Fairbanks. Tana- na and Nome of the receipt of mails from those places immediately upon their arrival at Seattle. This ac- tion is in compliance of a request from Mir. Sulzer made in person and by letter to the department dated December 21st This service is to advise people who have sent letters to the Outside of the time of arrival, so that they may make calculations on that information.
 On account of the circumstances that the wireless service connecting Iditarod with the government tele- graph line belongs to private parties and tolls would have to be paid by the government if messages were sent to that place the postmaster at Iditarod will not be notified.
 The postoffice department, also at the request, of Mir. sulzer. has or dered that supplements to the Postal Guide. issued from time to time for the benefit of postmasters. shall be sent to Alaska as first class mail, thus insuring prompt delivery to the postofiices of the Interior.
 Delegate Charles A. Sulzer today received a letter from Frank R. VII. son. director of publicity for the Liberty Loan office of the treasury department. thanking him for the sug. gestion that the daily reports con. corning Liberty Loan matters be communicated to Alaskan points b> wire, and informing him that tn suggestion will be acted upon. The director of publicity at San Fran cisco has been directed to inaugu rate the service.
 "l cannot tell you how much we appreciate your suggestion" writes MT. Wilson to Mir. Sulzer. "and assure you that we are going to take advantage of it." At the meeting of the city counci held last night the nomination ant election of officers for the coming

LIBERTY LOAN
 POSTERS HERE


 At the offices of the local banks may be seen the posters for the ad- vertising of the Third Liberty Loan, which will be launched in the near future. Many different varieties of posters will be on display today to remind the public of their patriotic duty. There are also Liberty bells, to be slipped on the doorknob to remind the investor that to ring the bell they must invest their mite in the support of the government in the present struggle.
 This again recalls the fact that there are yet several thousand dol lars worth of thrift and war savings stamps for those who have not the means of investing in Liberty bond. These stamps are now on sale at most business houses. the banks and the post office.

Al the odeon.

You're in Love-" the musical comedy
by Otto Harhach and Edward Clark
with the music by Rudolf F'riml. ap-
peared here for the second time this
year at the Odeon Saturday evening
and delighted a fair-sized audience. W.
w. White as Judge Brewster, Alice
Johnson as Mrs. Peyton, and MaNson
and Brown as the eccentric sailor dane
ers, with several members Of the Choir
us, appeared herein the same produc
tion Feb. 10. but for the most part the
cast was different and had better voices
than before. The dancing was very
good and the stage settings and the
costumes made the whole play especial
ly pleasing. Beside the dancing and
singing the principals OF the cast pre-
scented their character very well.
The comedy roles were furnished by
Alice Johnson and Oscar Figman. The
latter has appeared here before with

'If YOU are no wider than Il willow
tree and as slender as pencil, you
will look we'll in one of the enhancing
new tricolettes."
Thus speaks a New York fashion ex-
pert to the encouragement of many
"pleasngly plump" matrons.
Tricolette. for the benefit of those
who have not yet been enchanted by
it. is the most fashionable material for
the one-piece fall frock. 1t is admitted
silk material, very beautiful to look at,
very wonderful IN color. and very ex-
pensive. 1t clings to the figure even
more closely than wool jersey, and 1t
is for this reason that the woman who
is not in the pencil class must be
very careful irshe buys it to have a
tunic or some draped folds in the skirt.
There is tendency to combine two
tones of the material, as for instance
in this one-piece frock Of French blue
and black, This frock, however, uses
blue duvetyne for the blouse and the
tricolette for the skirt. 1t is under
stood, of course. that the new material
does not permit of much trimming and
very little draping. This model is but
slightly draped in the back. 1t is I'M
ornamented with nothing but the
beauty Of its own texture to plead
it's cause.
It is predicted that these tricolettes
will supplant the georgettes, voiles and
silks now the accepted things for semi
dress occasions.

Liberty loan committees of. the local
councils OF defense were in session In
the four districts Of the city all day
Sunday and today, alloting to individ-
ual bond buyers the minimum amounts
necessary to make up the quotas Tor
their respective precincts. and letters
will go out early this week notifying
persons of the minimum amounts as
siGed to them.
Here in the city it is expected that
three -fourths of the subscriptions Will
be signed promptly and returned by
mail before Friday. bI. On Friday all
who have not subscribed by mail must
go in person to the Marsaalltown Cluo
and subscribe there.
The banks have been Instructed by
the council Of defense 10 take no sub
scriptions, but to send every customer
to the liberty loan committee.
To Sell Quota in One Day.
In the outside precincts everybody
will go to central places and subscribe
on Friday, their allotment not being
ready until then as the quota for the
county has not yet been received from
the government. The city committees
have made their allotmerts on the
basis of a million dollars for the en-
tire county. and when the official quota
is received they will add the percent
age Of increase which it entails over
and above a r1illion dollars for the
county.
The councils Of defense in all pre-
cincts are striving to sell full allot-
ment without any large excess. but the
purpose Of the campaign is to sell the
entire quota in one day and enable
Marshall county to be the first county
in the first state in the union to go
over the top. It is the same spirit
which always sends the Yanks forward
to their detectives an hour before the
time allowed. We are out to win this
war at home and abroad.

Crowded houses witnessed the pic
ture, THE Bandit and the Preacher
with William s. Hart in the leading
role Sunday evening at the Casino.
Like most of the pictures IN which
Hart appears the story is laid in the
west and deals with life out there.
Hart takes the part of the bandit and
the remainder Of the principal parts
are portrayed by an all star cast. As
one would think from the title. the
picture tells OF the conversion Of the
bandit by the preacher and also con-
tains fight which is most important
part Of all Hart pictures.
