some countries nave taken steps to
prevent the depreciation of their war
bonds. Great Britain and France have
set aside sums each month for pur-
chasing their own obligations in the
market, if market prices fall below
issue prices. The United States in the
third Liberty Loan act made provision
for per cent sinking fund which
may be applied toward the purchase of
Liberty bonds issued or converted since
September "a, 1917.
Germany Fears Depreciation
Germany has not established
raightforward depreciation fund
She has adopted other methods Of
by endeavOring to keep them off the
market. Bonds registered in the debt
book of the empire for certain periods
after the issue date are sold at con-
cession OF one-fifth of l per cent
from the issue price. These bonds
were registered for period about six
months after the date of subscription
for the first loan, and for at least one
year for the other loans. Such regis
tration is described in the prospectuses
as "rcstricted registration" 1t is
understood that the subscriber does
rot actually receive bonds at that time,
W. MS supScrlNllON mercy represents
an interest bearing demand on the gov
eminent: The German press clearly
stated that it is the government wish
that subscribers would not ask for
their bonds at the expiration of the
restricted registration period.
Another German method employed to
keep the bonds from coming on the
market has been the delay in the de-
livery OF temporary certificates, or
when no certificates were Issued, of
lcfnitive bonds. Subscribers to bonds
of small denominations receive no tenn
porary certificate at all and are
Obliged to wait several months for their
defnitive bonds. Most of the German
loans did not begin to bear interest
until from three to six months after
SUBSCRIPTIONS were taken, but payments
made prior to initial interest bearing
date have been discounted at the
coupon rate

WORRY OVER SMALL THINGS
Unfortunate Habit of Making Noun
tains Out of MoIehiIls All Too
Common With All.

"One Of the foOlishest things we NOR
tails do" said Mr. Gratebar, 'is to make
mountains out of molehills.
Half the worry and distress in the
world comes from this unfortunate
habit. 1t breeds distrust, creates hard
feeling, breaks up friendships, makes
discord in families, it makes misery
all around, and all this in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of &
thousand for just nothing.
"The cOmmOnest form of mOlehill is
the spoken word. Somebody says some
thing to us that we think is mean, or
that we think Is suspicious, or lack
ing in appreciation, or twitting or sar-
castle, and right away we begin to
brood over it, to let it rankle in US, to
magnify it, to make a mountain of it.
ut is at least an even chance that
the little thing of that sort that dis
tresses us SO was never meant that
way at all. But suppose it was meant
to be sharp. What Of it? We are all
human, and the best Of us are liable to
make little slips at times and say lit
tie thoughtless things that we ought
not to.
But why should we make noun
tains of such molehills, of things that
would have been forgotten the next
moment if we did not dwell on them.
keep thinking of them and brood over
them until finally we magnified them
into great grievances?"

ton was buried In sleep. The sentry's
cry of "All's we'll" could be heard dis
tinctly from it's shores.
AT dawn, 143 years ago, the Ameri-
cans at work were seen by the sailors
on board the British ships of war and
the alarm was given. The captain of
the Lively, the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put a spring upon
her cable and, bringing her guns to
bear, opened fire upon the hill. One
man, among q number who had incau-
tiously ventured outside, was killed. A
subaltern reported his death to Colonel
Prescott and asked what was to be
done. "Bury him." was the reply.
1t was the first fatality in the battle
mentous conflicts in our Revolutionary
history. 1t was the first regular battle
between the British and the Americans
and most eventful in it's consequences.
The British had ridiculed and despiSed
their enemy, representing them as das-
tardly and inefficient; yet here the best
British troops, led on by experienced
officers, were repeatedly repulsed by
an inferior force of that enemy-mere
yeOmanry-frOm works thrown up in a
single night, and suffered a loss rarely
paralleled in battle with the most vet
eran soldiers. According to their own
returns their killed and wounded, out
of a detachment of 1000 men, amount
ed to 1,O54, and large proportion Of

gagged. So the number of casualties in
this battle was more than 80 per cent

Move Forced on British.

After the engagement at Lexington
on April 10 the British force under
General Gage was increased to 10000
men by the arrival of Generals Howe,
Clinton, and Burgoyne with their COM
mands from England. These occupied
the town of Boston on a peninsula eX-
tending into the harbOr. The naval
forces consisted Of the Falcon, Lively,
Somerset, Symmetry, Glasgow, and
four floating batteries. Across the
Charles river, at Cambridge, and on
the surrounding hills, were encamped
between 10000 and 10000 undisci-
plined Americans. The British. thus cut
off from communication with the main
land, were seriously hampered for pro-
visions, and General Gage contem-
plated a movement to occupy the sew
eral heights near Charlestown, at Dor
chester, and adjacent points.
The arrival Of such formidable
force of the enemy caused the gravest
concern to the colonists. 1t was ru-
mOred that the British would sally forth
from Boston and burn the neighbOring
towns. 1t was to prevent this that the
Americans determined to fOrtify Bun
ker Hill for, if the British should get
out of the city and intrench upon Dor
chester Heights to the south of Bos-
ton, the Continental position would be
made untenable.
Prescott's Gallant Act
Not an unnecessary sound was made
during the long hours of the night of
June 16, 1775, and when dawn came in
trenchments six feet high along the
side of the hill were disclosed. In the
face of the fire from the enemy ships
and by the battery on Copp's Hill the
Americans kept steadily at work COM
pleting their intrenchments and, when
there was a slight show of faltering aft.

Over in England at the height of the
meat shortage and before the pOpu-
lace was put on rations, they sold
bones at the rate of five pounds for
one shilling. Policemen regulated
long lines Of people patiently stand
ing out on the sidewalks, waiting, not
for their favorite matinee idol to pass,
but for chance to enter a food shop
and buy small quantity of food. 1t
takes about three minutes for the
shop keepers to dress their windows
over there, merely because there are,
perhaps, but a few cans of con-
densed milk and a box Or two of
corned beef to be displayed.
Yet over here in America, bones,
hay, even fats and precious scraps of
meat are going into the garbage pals.

which they had been subjected, Pres
colt realized the futility of holding his
position in the face of repeated at
tac11s by the reformed and REINFORCED
British lines. Nevertheless he deter
mined again to measure his strength
with the adversary; and, with a con-
mand to his men TO makc every shot
tell, he awaited the advance of the
British. Again the latter were per-
mitted to advance within twenty yards
of the American works before they
were fired upon. The British line was
broken, but still it advanced. With
their powder now quite exhausted, the
Americans met their opponents with
dubbed muskets and bayonets.
The odds were too great and Pres
colt ordered his men to retreat. 1t
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren, one Of
the most cherished of the popular lead
ers.
