to the best investment in the world,
that is, bonds of their own govern
ment.
practically all of the substantial
and representative investmsn. houccs
of the country in cooperation with
the government, and many other pat
riotic agencies, have participated in a
most unselfish way in both Liberty
Loan campaigns, sacrificing their own
interests in order to contribute their
share toward winning the war. 1t is
inconceivable that after the magnifi-
cent work of distributing government
bonds thus accomplished in a large
measure of investment houses, some
of the same people should attempt to
substitute other securities for the gov
crnmcnt bonds which they have just
helped in placing. 1t seems evident
that large majority of such offers
made to holders of government bonds
must be made by the least responsible
of the security merchants, and that
suspicion as to the character of the
bonds offered in exchange, is fully
justified.
at is my earnest hope that every
purchaser of Liberty bond will real
ize that the only genuine help he gives
his government is by keeping his bond
rs an investment as long as it is pos
sible for him to do so. Where, be-
cause Of misfortune or imperative
necessity, the holder Of Liberty bond
is forced to sell, there can, Of course,
be no objection"

MIR. Baker Calls 1t Efficiency

The exemption board started this
week to make physical examination of
all men in Glass 1 as announced on
another page. However just after ex-
amining forty men they received a
wire from the war department to sus-
pend examination until they could re-
ceivs the latest revised, corrected,
amended, suspended, recorrected and
rcamended rules governing same.
These ere included in Stecnth Revised
Regulations which have been mailed
from Washington and will arrive just
as soon as Mr.. Burleson's crippled
mail service can get them here-sub-
ject however to further delays caused
by Mr.. McAdoo's crippled railway
service. In the meantime thousands
of young men are waiting the call to
go. and France, Italy and England are
grimly straining every nerve to hold
tho lines until we can make our reg
ulations fit into Mr.. McAdoo's poll

Secretary McAdoo Warns Against
Trading Liberty Bonds For
Worthless Securities

The following statement was made
by William G. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, on January 81:
at has been brought to my atten-
ton that large number of patriotic
citizens who subscribed to Liberty
Loan bonds of both the first and sec
ond issue are being approached from
time TO time by agents who have, with
too frequent success, induced them to
sell their Liberty Loan bonds and take
in exchange securities which in a
number of cases have been of very
questionable value.
Through the intensive work carried
on during the two Liberty loan cam
paigns, patriotic army of over ten
million bond buyers in this country
has been created. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the investments of
this army of patriots should be safe
guarded in every possible way, and
that their action in lending their mon
cy to their government should not be
taken advantage of by irresponsible
people seeking solely a profit for
themselves.
81 therefore warn investors in Lib
erty Loan bonds against exchange of
these evidences of their patriotism for
any securities or so-called securities.
While some of the securities, or So
called securities, offered in exchange
for government bonds are of sound
value, there is no doubt that large
percentage of them are worthless.
81 believe it is for the best interests
of the people at large, as well as for
their actual protection, that they dis
regard all such offers and hold fast

John L. Sullivan Dead

There was general regret this week
over the death of John L. Sullivan, the
long time champion prize fighter. The
old boy was game sport, and al
ways held his title by fighting, and
never understood the modern game of
stalling. 1t was this fact that has al
ways made him the most popular fig
ure in the fight game.

CHEERS GREET CLARK
At SPEAKERS DESK
House Members Approve Decision
to Remain at Present Post.

Speaker Clark. after declining
yesterday the Senatorship from Mis-
siuri, offered him by Gov. Gardner,
was greeted with a storm of hand
clapping when he took his place at
the Speakers desk.
Republicans and Democrats unit
ed In the tribute. Clark made a
brief speech, saying his quarter
century's service in the House had
convinced him his greatest useful
ness was there. Republican Leader
Gillett. responding, praised Clark :
fairness as a presiding officer
Capitol political opinion is that
the Speaker was convinced in a two
days study that Democrats have
an excellent chance to retain con-
troll of the next House. The gen.
eral consensus had been that if he
thought the Republicans would win,
he would have taken his seat in the
Upper House, rather than return to
the position of minority leader.
Mrs. Clark's opinion was every
where admitted to have had great
influence with the Speaker. She has
been considered for many years his
closest political adviser. His daugh-
ter. Mrs. James NJ. Thompson, OF
New Orleans. telegraphed also her
request that the Speaker remain
where he is.

T0GET COAL
BY new SHIPS
Needs Of Territory to Be

Board.

Steamships for New England's coal
supply this winter have been held
back by frozen navigation on the
Lakes. There are 130 steamships there
destined for tidewater. and most of
them will be used to furnish New
England its coal reserve.
This was the answer and assurance
last night of the United States Ship
ping Board to New England's appeal
I, to Secretary McAdoo for more coal.
There had been some alarm for next
winter because the coal intended for
1t is accumulating at Norfolk, with
temporary coal ship shortage.
The Lakes navigation season is
about two weeks behind already, 1t
was said at the Shipping Board, and
some OF the 139 vessels were due at
the seaboard some time ago. The last
OF them will he in Atlantic service
within six months.
About thirty or forty will be used
for overseas service, and eighty or
more will be put at once into coast
wise trade carrying coal for New
England.
1t is expected that these ships will
be turned over to the Director Gen.
eral Of Railroads. by charter, to be a
part Of the railroads system. They
average about $500 tons dead-weight.
Bound up with the delivery OF these
ships and New England's coal supply

were told they probably would have
to wait on New Englands coal needs.

School Children
Please President.

OF the thousands wearing bond
| purchase buttons who marched in
| the parade, there were many other
thousands along the sidewalks and
/ elsewhere wearing these buttons. so
; it goes without saying that while
the parade was on a grand scale
: so far as numbers were concerned,
it by no means represented the full
extent ofthe liberty bond purchas-
ers.
Probably one of the most i'm
pressive incidents connected with
the parade occurred almost at its
close when the large array of local
school children passed President
I Wilson's stand.
For almost four hours he had been
standing up in his machine di-
rectly in front of the White House,
with his left hand bandaged and
his arm in a sling, from the effects
of his recent burn. With beaminS
countenance he had all this time
acknowledged the salutes OF the
cheering thousands who had passed
in review.
Toward the end some OF his ac-
acknowledgements seemed mechanical.
because he had been on his feet a
long time and it must have been
wearisome.
When the school children came
along, however, his demeanor changed
as il by magic, and for the moment
he was boy among them, returning
their rapturous plaudits with unmis-
taxable evidence of appreciation.
The banners carried by various or
ganizations were lessons in them
selves by reason of the sentiment in
volved in their inscriptions, and re-
flected prevailing feeling about as
well as anything possibly could.
