But the answer to this difficulty Il
not In the refusal to install the ma

Hear Opal and Folks:
80 this is Parisl" That Is what
| said when got my nrst glimpse
OF the city this morning. There are
four OF Us here at present who came
to take some trucks back. They are
to DO used by our squadron,
This Is sure some city. believe me.
It's almost exactly as I had thought
II would be. although the war has
sure had Its eject on the place as
we'll as on the rest OF France. I
doubt very much II there could be n
city much moro beautiful than Paris
There are pretty parks all over and
at nearly every corner IL some stat
uary or something OF the sort.
| went down to the Hotel des In
yalides today. II Is like museum
or something OF tho kind. ! am send
Ing you some views OF the place that
| got there. In the courtyard are
many guns captured from the Ger
mans In this and also In the 1870
war. There are also the wrecks Of
two German Gotha planes that were
brought down over Paris and also
pieces OF couple Of German "Zeps."
Inside the building are statues.
paintings by Raphael and also any
amount OF antiques, such as old ar
mors, swords. ETC.. that date a. far
back as the old Romans. II is sure
a nne collection too. II is In this
same building that Napoleon's tomb
was placed. The tomb Itself In sand
bagged to keep Il safe as possible.
I'd sure like to see Il though. ! saw
all the rest OF tho place though. It
was worth coming miles to SEQ.
saw the Arch Of Triumph. the
Einel tower. statues OF Alexander
H. big French hospitals and too
many things to mention.
Paris Is a very pretty place. II
has big. wide streets and very nne
buildings. There are not manx good
autos here. Most Of them have been
taken for war work. There are q
lot OF autos here Of old style that
are used as taxis. There are n lot OF
old style hansoms toJ. They are a
good reminder Of old times.
One thing that doesn't seem TO be
affected by the war Is the style OF
dressing. I never saw better dress
ed people than I've seen here. They
are Just fine. The good looking
French girls land there are lots OF

their looks by dressing. They are
pretty good at II too.
The French people here seem to
be very friendly to the Americans.
II sure Is fun to go into a store and
try TO buy things without a very
good stock OF French talk. ! gen.

fore I'm through I generally have

Dear Folks:
Well am In England now. Can't

was interesting at that. We didn't
see any subs on the trip.
We are in what. they call a rest
camp here. and not so bad as I ex-
pected. / don't know how long we
will remain here. There are lots OF
Canadian soldiers here. Some that
have been in the service before. Eng
land is pretty place but nothing
like home. The foliage and grass Is
pretty and green now, but we don't
see much Of the sun yet. II Is pretty
cold and there Is plenty OF rain.
The English people treat us pretty
good here, but they like the looks
OF our money. Everything is so high
and not much to buy, and the soon.

us. We use English money here
and pretty hard to get use to.

NEWS FROM LOVER THERE
Bond Purchasers Now Realize What
Their Aid Is Accomplishing.

The news from the Western Front
has been most cheering of late, and
Liberty Loan workers may take unto
themselves a need Of praise for their
share in it without taking one iota of
the praise due to the boys in khaki at
the front who have SO valiantly up
held the traditions of American arms.
The people in the Eighth District. as
we'll as throughout the nation, who
have responded so intellectually to
the calls for funds. and have bought
so freely of the Governments securi.
ties, have supplied the boys over there
with the needed equipment, without
which their efforts would have been
in vain.
Now that victory is in sight, the re-
Spouse to the new demands will be
met all the more cheerfully. and the
Fourth Loan. no matter what the
amount. will be quickly subscribed.

SOME HOLDERS FAIL
To REALIZE WORTH
Of LIBERTY BONDS
Liquidation Comes From Small Invest
ors Who Do Not Understand
Tax Features.

Prevailing market quotations for the
4 and Az per cent Liberty Bonds indi-
cate a lack of appreciation on the part
OF holders regarding their intrinsic val
ues. Inability to carry the bonds" is
an excuse that seems hardly tenable
now, three months since the Third Lib
erty Loan was floated. Time works Il
favor of Liberty Bonds since the value
and merit of the investment grow more
obvious.
The recent slump in the market quo
tation for these bonds may be due in
the first place to a Misrepresentation on
the part of certain small investors re-
garding the tax exemption feature. II
has been common TO accord to the
First Liberty Loan Bonds, the 3H2s, a
preferential value on the score OF tax
exemption, far above the As and 4hs.
And yet a great many small investors
in the latter bonds do not seem to
realize that their securities, for the
most part, possess the same merit. In
other words, the a and Az per cent
bonds are also fully as free from the
normal income tax, now or hereafter
imposed by the United States as the
81 per cent bonds. And they are also
free Of the surtax or excess profits tax,
now or hereafter imposed, up to an
aggregate holding of $4,000.
On a moments reflection it will be
seen that this exemption from taxation
lets out a very large element OF the
people; for there are relatively few
whose incomes are involved in the con-
sideration of surfaces and excess prof
IFS. Yet most of the liquidation In the
Liberty Bonds comes from the small
investors.
That it is not always a desire to liqui-
date on account of inability to carry
the bonds" is evident from the fact
that some small holders have been
selling their As and Ans in order TO
buy the 31as, for their complete tax
exemption quality. Such persons are
displaying a woeful ignorance in re-
card to the Liberty Bond statutes.
But more to be deplored is the gen
eral lack of appreciation OF the uiti-
mate value of the Liberty Bonds, no
matter of what description. All the
economies of war finance point to gov
eminent bonds as the soundest and
most far-sighted investment a person
can make during these times. And this
is more than ever applicable to the
oh,igot;ons NJ the limited States gov
eminent. Persons should realize that
by investing in government bonds now
they are buying with cheap money
call on dear money in the future.
