time the armistfce was declared. he
had received an order to return to
America to get promotion and to re-
turn with a new allotment of soldiers.
Receiving no cancellation of his or
ders, he proceeded to the states. In
New York he was given furlo to
come home to visit his family.
Captain Mallon was in Mont Morrill,
Ion, a French village. when the armi-
stice wass igned- He says that a town
crier went thru the streets, beating a
drum and declaring that the Germans
had quit. The inhabitants, having
heard the same story many times be-
fore. paid him no heed until the
Americans confirmed the report, when
a peace celebration began and con-
tinued all night.
The cripples in France, according to
Captain Mallon. are sent to the south
part of the country, SO that few of
them are seen in the former occupied
territory. He says also that American
soldiers are better fed and better cared
for than any other soldiers in the
world.
Before going into the service Cap
tain Mallon was sales manager of the
kaw Milling company. He hopes to
be released from service, but SO far,
he is told, no discharges are being con-
sidered. Upon the expiration of his
leave. he expects to be detailed for

Of the labor forces want the govern

$50 Millions Already Retired by
the Treasury Department.
Told in Annual Report of See
Rotary, Issued Today.
SPEND 27 BILLIONS IN YEAR
Secretary McAdoo Tells of
Money Spent for War
And of the Plans for Raising
Government Cash.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Retirement Of
liberty bonds by the treasury has be-
gun This was revealed today in the
annual report of the treasury depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1918.
A total of $3.50. 600, 900 of the first,
second and third bond issues had
been bought back by the treasury on
November L. This does not represent
quite per cent of each issue which,
under the liberty loan act, the treas
ury is permitted to buy back each
year.
It was indicated that after this year
the full per cent of each issue
would be retired.
This will eliminate the piIing up of
great sinking fund. reduce the in
terest payments annually and permit
of retirement of all bonds on their
maturity date, twenty years hence.
Spend Twenty-Seven Billions.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that, In
the fiscal year ending June so, 1919,
public debt redemptions will aggre
gate 1896, 100000 The grand total
of expenditures for the year is esti-
mated at s27,71s.12s,000. which is
approximately $1,000, 100000 more
that the estimated total receipts The
recent treasury announcement of a
fifth war loan therefore. was accepted
to mean that the next loan. subscribed
for early in April. 1919. would be for
$4,000. 100000. This belief was based
on calculations of further reduction in
expenditures, officials said
In the report, the secretary strongly
urges a continuation of the war saw
fngs campaign as peace time meas
ure of thrift He estimates that the
1919 series of saving stamps should
bring into the government more than
$3.50, 100000, or IS per cent more
than during the last year.

process for producing glycerine syn

As TO future expenditures the report
says there is no hint of immediate
