Views of the vigilantes
DON'T SELL YOUR BOND.
By Harold A. Lamb of The Virilantes


 Your Liberty Eond-whether it is for $50 or S500-is your savings. To sell it is to lose your savings. The longer you keep the bond, the more valuable it is going to be.
 It does no good to Uncle Sam to subscribe to his loan, and then sell the amount of your subscription. Many of us have strained ourselves to buy the bonds, and necessity may force some of us to get some of the money back. But the way to do this is not to sell bond. Dishonest sharpers will take your bonds and give you, say, eighty dollars for the one hundred.
 If you must have money go to 2 reliable bank or broker They will lend you ninety dollars on the hun dred, and the interest on your bond will nearly pay the interest on the money they lend you. Then by pay ing the loan. you can have the bond back.
 Uncle Sam's securities are making money for you while you hold them. Two years after the war ends they will be Wortn--it is estimated-$11a. If the war ends in three years or un- der you will then be receiving six and a quarter per cent-on the safest investment in the world.

made great capital out of story that it was used to gouge out the eyes of German wounded. In the official re- port Of the British Prisoners of War Commission, several instances of this fable are recorded
 Captain Beaman testified before the commissien that he was berated by a German Colonel for permitting his mel. to use their marlin spikes on the eyes of German wounded. Captain Browne told the comm ssion of listening to a Chlan major who was giving a lecture and who exhibited a British jack knife, showing the marlin spike at tachment and describing it as used for torturing German prisoners Tine story appears to have been deliberately cooked up by the German military ,f-horities for the consumption of their troops

QUIET LITTLE AFFAIRS

"Oh, I forgot" Caroline said cas- ually just as the dessert came on. "The club is going to meet here next Friday night and we're to have initia- tion--it won't bother you or anything, will it?"
 Dear me. mol" said the father of the family, pausing over his plate of floating island. If the house isn't torn down forcibly 1t no doubt win get set afire some way and burn down, but things have been a little slow around here for some time and I've no doubt it will please the neighbors No, it won't bother us in the least, my child!"
 "The very ideal" spiffed his daughter. I'd like to know what you think the D. L. D. girls are going to to act!"
 That's the trouble" said her parent. You act far too well. It is your super abundant success in the art which is worrying me. If it were crowd of boys I'd be perfectly easy. I'd know it was going to be a quiet affair with nothing more strenuous than chopping 6ewn the sleeping porch extension or shooting golf balls at our new banded rock crystal glasses or some trifie on that order-but lTl- asmuch as it is a bunch of delicate, gentle girls, my heart fails me!

THINKS PEACE is COMING

Copenhagen, Oct. 23.-(By the
Associated ress.-"President Will
sons reply to the latest German
note may, perhaps, bring definite
certainty as to the result of the ne
gotiations," Prince Macmillan, the
Imperial German Chancellor, said
yesterday, according to dispatch
received here from Berlin. It'll

government which acted otherwise
would be left to the mercy of the
fighting and working people. 1t
would be swept away by public Opin-
ion''
Washington Oct. 22.-The pre-
vailing belief here tonight is that
any action President Wilson may
take as result of the new German
note will await and largely be guided
by a decision of the Supreme War
Council in France.
| Shrewd diplomatic observers and
some officials take this view though
no intimation of his own attitude
has come from the President, be-
cause admittedly the one question
Immediately at issue is military
problem-that of the evacuation of
invaded territory by the German ar
mics as the only condition upon
which the plea for an armistice even
will be given consideration.
The Germans now are evacuating
Belgium and northern France as rap
: idly as they can move before the
sweep of the allied and American
soldiers and still maintain their Or
: ganization. Since the government
at Berlin say they want to get out
without further fighting, apparently
the issue is one for the allied war
council to Observation-Disclosures It
shall be suggested through Presi-
dent Wilson that General FOch be
applied to for terms or whether with
out further diplomatic parley the
approach of white flag from the
German lines shall be awaited.

WILLING TO EVACUATE
SECRETARY DANIELS
RECOMMENDS
Expenditure of 100000, 900
for a Second Three Year
Campaign
OF TEN BATTLESHlPS

Washington, Oct. 23.-The Secre-
tary of the Navy appeared before
the House Committee on Naval Az
fairs yesterday at hearing in re-
gard to certain appropriations need
ed for naval expansion. In the
course of his statement sto the
further need sof the navy, the Sec
retary said he had recommended in
the estimates of the Navy Depart
ment for the next fiscal year author
ization for the expenditure Of $780,
10000 upon second three year
program of naval construction that
will comprise 156 naval vessel, in
Guiding ten battleships and six bat
tie cruisers. This is in addition to
the 1853 vessels that were provided
for in the three year program en-
braced in the Naval Appropriation
Act of August 20, 1918, all Of which
are required to be under construc-
tion before July l, next, and is de-
signed to be carried out as ship
building facilities become available
for further work.
In regard to this recommendation
Secretary Daniels this afternoon
gave out the following statement:
81 have requested in the esti-
mates of the Navy Department for
the next fiscal year authorization for
the expenditure Of $600,000,000 up
on second three-year program OF
naval construction. This substan-

to next July, and it is expected thai
DUNG the ensuing fiscal year, which
