U. S. ARMY NOT HELD BACK
Baker Declares Yankees Are Ac-
lively Engaged in Trenches and
Fighting With Allies.

Washington, May 14.-Secretary Ba-
ker denied the statement coming from
Ottawa as to the disposition Of Ameri-
can forces in France He said the
facts were directly opposed to the
statements and that American troops
were being used actively in battle and
lin such ways as meet the approval of
Generals Foch and Pershing."
The statement made in the morning
papers purporting to come from OF
tawa seems to say that American
forces in France will not be used ac-
lively for the present, but will be con-
served until they constitute a larger
and independent American army.

1t Was a Sad Story, But They Heard
1t Through.

for the year. The young prairie dogs
will soon be coming. Oh, we're going
to have such 4 glorious spring.
"Don't hurt me. I never did you
any harm. / never did anyone any
harm. laugh and never get blue
and discouraged, like my cousins, the
wOOdchucks.'
"I'll not miss a treat like this the
coyote said.
"And despite the pleadings Of the
little prairie dog, the coyote thought
Of the delicious meal he would have,
tile life was over.
"After he had been missing from
the home of the prairie dogs they
were very, very careful not to wander
away where there might be any chance
Of danger.
"Grandmother Prairie Dog told them
the story of the farmer who had hated
the prairie dogs for making so many,
many holes.
1T was a sad story, but they heard
it through, SO they would take pains
to make their holes, as far as possible,
away from farms.
"'This farmer Grandmother Prai-
RE told them, was SO angry be-
cause so many holes were made in his
grounds that he vowed he would get
rid Of the prairie dogs.
"'Now, you know quite well,' said
Grandmother Prairie, that we never
hurt anyone. We're happy and jolly
and gay. We love each other and our
neighbors. The only thing that we
do that annoys the farmer is that we
make so many holes
"'But how are we to help doing
that?' asked the little prairie dogs.
"'We must make them away from
where we think we can be harmed,
said Grandmother Prairie.
"'This farmer that I'm telling you
about. put poisoned grain and wheat
into our holes.
"'Of course, we ate it, at least most
of us did, for we thought it was
thoughtful of him, and we barked our
thanks delightedly. We also wagged
our little tails.
"'But the farmer hadn't stayed to
hear our thanks. He had another pur-
| pose in his mind. This we soon found
out.
"I had had a very good meal only
short time before this, and wasn't in
the least scrap hungry. So I didn't
eat any of the poisoned food.
"'That is why I am alive to-day.
But many Of us did, and were poi
soned. So we've got to be careful
And they all promised they would be.
"Soon they forgot about these sad
| stories and barked and laughed and
played. How happy they were! For
they are never sad long, and their lit
tie lives are jolly ones indeed.
"And soon the best part of the spring
followed-the arrival of all the baby
prairie dogs!"

Baby, Natural Monopolist.

There is about the baby none of the
subtle deceitfulness of the old, prac-
ticed bore who deftly turns the con-
versation to his own exploits and af-
fairs. Baby simply takes off the muf-
fer from his personal self. The en-
tire household attention turns at once
to his affairs. He monopolizes the con-
versation with his breathless account
Of his hunger or of his connection with
the open safety pin-and that is all
there is to it.

YANKEES CHEERED BY CROWD
Writers Unite in Giving Unstinted
Praise to Appearance of Men
Viewed by King and Queen
From Buckingham Palace.

London, May 13.-The appearance
OF American National army men on
parade in London on Saturday aroused
the enthusiasm of the Sunday papers
as have few events in months. Inc
writer's unite in giving unstinted praise
to the appearance of the men, and pre-
dict for them a record of splendl0
achievement when they reach the
front.
"And the waiting crowds found a
new name for the visitors. AS the
first battalions swung out from Wa
terloo station some one called out 70

lot The word pleased the fancy OF
the crowd, and soon every one was
calling for cheers for the 'huskies.
Finest Sight of the War.
''It was a great friendship which
was struck up between the London
crowd and the American boys who
have come across to give them hand
That was the feeling that persisted to
the last when the visitors said good
by for the time being to London"
"Since the thrilling days of the first
months of the war;" says the Observ'
er, London has not known such nota-
BILE scene Of enthusiasm as that OF
Saturday.
'The finest sight l have seen since
the war began" was the verdict Of a
young soldier who has seen service
on four fronts. The men are a fine
looking body and appear to be in the
pink of condition."
The companies filed past with light,
elastic step, keeping excellent time
and creating mighty favorable i'm
preston of their marching qualities
and physique.
King Views Parade.
King George V, and the Prince OF
Wales, standing outside Buckingham
palace, reverently barred their heads
as the American National army troops
from Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.
marched to the strains of "The Stars
and Stripes Forever" played by the
Grenadier Guards.
Wherever the doughboys passed
traffic was halted and every open space
was sea of faces.
With the king and his heir were
Queen Mary and Princess Mary.
Only commissioned officers in the
parching throng returned the kings
Salute.
American Tunes Lead.
Col Whitman, Gen. Pershing's quar-
termaster in Mexico, commanded the

Guards, playing "My Old Kentucky
Home" leading another contingent
and finally there were the Grenadiers
playing "Over There"

sOME HOLDERS FAIL ID REALIZE WORTH
 IF LIBERTY BONDS
Liquidation Comes From Small Invest ors Who Do Not Understand
 Tax Features.

Prevailing market quotations for the { and Al per cont Liberty Bonds indi- cate lack of appreciation on the part Of holders regarding their intrinsic val ues, Inability to carry the bonds" is al excuse that seems hardly tenabls now, three months since the Third Lib erty Loan was floated. Time works n favor of Liberty Bonds since the value and merit of the investment grow more obvious.
 The recent slump in the market quo tation for these bonds may be due in the first place to misapprehension on the part of certain small investors re- aardins the tax exemption feature IL has been common to accord to the First Liberty Loan Bonds, the 312s, preferential value on the score of tax exemption, far above the As and 4 11s. And yet a great many small investors h the latter bonds do not seem to realize that their securities, for the most part, possess the same merit. In other words, the As and A per cent bonds are also fully S free from the normal income tax, now or hereafter imposed by the United States as the 3h per cent bonds. And they are also free of the surtax or excess profits tax, now or hereafter imposed. up to an aggregate holding of $5.000.
 On a moments reflection it will be seen that this exemption from taxation lets out very large element of the people: for there are relatively few whose incomes are involved in the con sideration of surtaxes and excess prof it's. Yet most of the liquidation in the Liberty Bonds comes from the small investors
 That it is not always desire to liqui- date on account of inability to carry the bonds" is evident from the fact that some small holders have been selling their 4s and 4As in order to buy the 31as, for their complete tax exemption quality. Such persons are displaying a woeful ignorance in re- gard to the Liberty Bond statutes.
 But more to be deplored is the gen eraI lack of appreciation of the ulti- mate value of the Liberty Bonds, no matter of what description. All the economies of war finance point to gov ernment bonds as the soundest and most far-sighted investment a person can make during these times. And this is more than ever applicable to the obligations of the United States gov ernment. Persons should realize that by investing in government bonds now they are buying with cheap money call on dear money in the future.

NEWS FROM "0VER THERE
Bond Purchasers Now Realize What
 Their Aid Is Accomplishing.

The news from the Western Front has been most cheering of late, and Liberty Loan workers may take unto themselves need Of praise for their share in it without taking one iota of the praise due to the boys in khaki at the front who have 80 yaliantly up- held the traditions of American arms.
 The people in the Eighth District, as well as throughout the nation, who have responded so whole-heartedly to the calls for funds, and have bought so freely of the Government securi- ties, have supplied the boys over there with the needed equipment, without which their efforts would have been in vain.
 Now that victory is in sight, the re- sponse to the new demands will be met all the more cheerfully, and the Fourth Loan, no matter what the amount, will be quickly subscribed.

PRESIDENT SON SAVES GAS
Aids Fuel Conservation by Walking to
 Worship Sunday.

Word comes from Washington that President Wilson will set the pace of automobile church goers Sunday and walk to worship.
 Thus the President needs the regu- lation of the Fuel Administration. An East St. Louis authority estimates that if the Sunday conservation of gasoline is adhered to in that city 15,0O0 gallons of gasoline will be saved each Sabbath day. This would be a money saving of about $750O0.
 If the gasoline were conserved at this ration throughout the United States it would result In money saw ing each Sunday of about million and a quarter of dollars. which if in- vested in Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds would never be missed and would greatly aid in the campaign.

 Lives must be lived more simply
 Personal, household and business expenses must be reduced to the minimum.

 Current balances at the banks should be kept as small as possible and the money invested in war bonds.

In France and England all the loans to prosecute the war are taken by Volunteer subscriptions. Two yolun- teer Days-Sept 2S and 29-are set aside to open the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. Every one should place his volunteer subscription on one of these two days and not wait for the solicitors.
 If the right kind of response be made on Volunteer Days-Sept. 2S and 29-the Fourth Liberty Loan Cam paign will be given such an impetus that the allotted three weeks will not be required to sell the bond issue
