"Bondholders"
Should Mean "The
People, T. r.

Colonel Theodore Roosevent, in a
message read at Liberty Loan rally
last night, at the Academy Of Music,
Brooklyn, urged America to make the
terms "bondholders" and "the people"
interchangeable.
"And. after these loans have been
foated," the Colonel wrote. "let it be
remembered that no human being with
out hypocrisy can denounce tic bond
holders without denouncing the peo-
ple, for the chance is open 20 every
man TO become one Of the hondholdcrs.
and wher | say cvc"y man. I mean
every man.
"The conditions are such that any
body with a little self-denal and a
little thrift can become, to a certain
extent a holder of the bonds Of the
United Statcc. And the effort Of you
men and Of those like you elsewhere
has consistently been to make it cs-
peciallv easy for the mon and women
of small means to. subscribe to the
loans" Arthur S. Somcrs, president
of the Board of Education read the
message

ROLLING ALONG WITH THE LIB
ERTY BALL-PoUGHKEEPSIE, April
2S.-The Liberty Ball to-day gave
Tommy O'Brien of some farmhouse,
between Rhinebeck and Poughkeepsie,
his happiest and most strenuous day
since infantile paralysis crippled him.
The Boy Scouts of Rhinebeck had left
the town when Tommy O'Bricn was
encountered
He was in his wheel chair, several
hundred feet from the road, waving an
American flag with such vigor that his
thin arms looked like engine pistons.
He shrilled a greeting to the sturdy
limbed lads hauling the ball and began
some frantic manipulations of the
wheels Of his chair down the grassy in
cline. Scout Executive Solomon or
dered a halt and Tommy soon reeled
alongside the rope extending from the
push rods.
With one arm, Tommy worked speed.

steering power for his only means OF
locomotion. The other hand fervldly

smile that broke repeatedly into happy
laughs.
For over mile, Tommy aided the
ball toward New York, and then sue
cembed. His wan cheeks were ruby
red, his tired eyes all awakened. Mr.
Solomon detailed two OF his stalwarts
to aid i'm on the return. but Tommy
waved them away. When last seen he
wore a wide smile and a joy-of-livine
look.

Insurance Men
Will Ask Veto
Of Towner Bill
Measure, 1t Is Said, Might
Continue German Control
Over Companies

On the ground that the Towner bill,
rushed through the Legislature in its
closing hours, is intended TO permit
German insurance interests, supposed
to be put out of business by the trad
ing with the enemy act, to retain their
hold on American business, Richard ii.
Hurd. chairman Of the trustees of the
American Defence Society, will head a
delegation to Albany Wednesday which
Will ask Governor Whitman to veto the
measure.
To-day Nj Hurd accompanied by A.
NJ Best, an insurance expert; Archibald
3. Stevenson, former chairman Of the
Mayors Committee on Alien Enemies
and an expert Oh insurance law. will
appear before Treasury officials in
Washington to protest against any ac-
tlon under the bill which will serve to
keep the enemys interests intact
The bill, according to State Supcrin-
tendent Of Insurance Jesse S. Phillips,
was sent to The Legislature by his dc
psrtrAent at the request of A. Mitchell
Palmer, custodian Of alien enemy prop
crty, who urged its passage as ncces-
sary for the prompt liquidation of the
German companies in this country OF
these only three remain in business,
the Aachcn and Munich. the Hamburg
Bremen and the P-ussian National
All Of the reinsurance companies and
the Nord Deutsch, q direct writing
company, have closed their affairs.
BY the terms of the Towner bill
Mr.. Palmer may incorporate companies
IN this state to receive the property
and assets OF trc German companies,
taking in return therefor the stock of
the new companies for sale to the pub
lie. This. it is pointed out, opens the
way for the German companies, work
/ ing through dummies to obtain control
OF the companies and have everything
IN ship-shapc for operations in the
open, once peace is declared.
"The DILL" said Mr.. Stevenson yes
terday. "was passed without debate and
without it's full significance being real
iZed. 1t is hardly necessary 70 say
that once the stock of such domestic
companies pagses from the hands Of the
custodian of alien enemy property he
will have no control over it. The bill
clearly gives the enemy the chance to
buy back the system of espionage which
was 80 highly developed through its
insurance companies and which finally
forced the barring OF German com
panics from doing business in the
United StateN.
ASIDE from this the bill is uncon-
stitutional in that it permits the i'm
palrmcnt Of trusts, and other contracts,
and an mere matter Of law .hould be
vetoed"
In the current issue Of "Bcst's Insur-
sncc News" Mr.. Best declares every
thing that is sought Of accomplish
rnent. other than the bcnchting of the
German owners Of these companies,
may be accomplished by existing laws,
