solution for Unpaid Bonds.

What to do with unpaid assessments
upon Liberty Bonds is question that
troubles banks, employers and others
who sold Liberty Bonds on the in
stallment plan. There have been thou
sands of people who have paid any
where from $1.00 to $4,000 on their
Liberty Bonds and who have stopped.
These bonds are being held by their
banks or their employers and are be-
coming considerable worry to many,
for the reason they don't know what
disposition to make Of the bonds in
order that no loss will result to those
who have partly paid for them.
The plan adopted by the Ford Mo-
tor Company, also by the Burroughs
Adding Machine Company is a clear
and simple solution of the problem
These companies pay back to each en-
ploye the amount of his equity in
these bonds in Thrift or War Savings
Stamps. Then these companies take.
over the unpaid bonds as their own
investment or dispose of them as they
choose.
This plan is recommended by Col.
F. H. Fries, state director of War
Savings, to North Carolina banks and
corporations. There is no doubt, he
says, but there are many banks and
employers in the State who will be
glad to adopt this plan in disposing of
unpaid up Liberty Loan Bonds. He
suggests that the chairmen of the
county war savings committee make,
this arrangement with the banks for
their people.

Austrians Cry for Peace as Revolt Threaten
Plead That All
Packing Plants
Be Taken OUer

Washington, Jan. 22.-The demand
of Chicago packing house employees for
government control of the meat indus
try during the war was broadened to-
day to include all the packing plants
Of the United States.
1t was made clear at the outset of
hearings the presidents mediation
commission that tho employees believed
the question to be one of national
necessity and not merely local dis
pute between the Chicago plants and
their workers.
1T is absurd for a group Of six
companies to control the food supply of
the United States and the allies
Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the work
ers. told the commission. Mr.. Walsh
declared it was necessary for the gov
eminent to act now and not wait for
calamity.
Levy Mayer, attorney for the pack
ers, argued that the companies were
striving to assist the nation in the war
and that there was no adequate reason
to justify seizure of the plants from the
owners.
Disagreement developed, as to the
operation Of the Chicago mediation
pact, negotiated by the commission on
Christmas day. The workers contend
ed that the packers failed to live up to
their agreement.
]. Ogden Armour. Nelson Morris
and Edward F. Swift were the first OF
the packers representatives to appear
They said that Thomas E. Wilson and
E. A. Cudahy also would be present.

Battle ia Clouds.

With the French army in France,
Jan. 21.--(By the Associated Press.)
Thousands of soldiers in the vi
cinity of Verdun Saturday witnessed
the most exciting air fight, which
ended in the destruction Of three Ger
man machines. In the afternoon OF
the first bright day for weeks a squad
ron of six enemy machines appeared
above the ruined city of Verdun. While
a heavy barrage from the French ar
tillery greeted them, three French
chasing machines assembled in an en-
deavor to cut off the retreat Of the
Germans.
One of the enemy fliers attacked a
French observation balloon which 1t
set on fire, the occupant of the balloon
dropping in his parachute to safey.
One Of the French chasers caught this
machine under his machine gun fire
and sent it crashing to the ground.
Then the same Frenchman pursued
the other Germans and after sharp
fight in which there was much clever
maneuvering. sent down another VIC
tim with his wings broken.
An hour later the third enemy was
destroyed by the same French squad
rifle.

man met his end in the course OF a
combat with a French opponent a

ers hid behind dixie on the north

result is not known. Afterward the

Washington, Jan. 22-American Min
lister Reinsch's dispatches to the state
department today reporting sthe at
tack on the gunboat Monocacy con-
tanned no additional details to those
already received in news dispatches.
Minister Reinsch said he had already
made representations to the Chinese
government.
The commander of the American
gunboat Monocacy fired upon by Chi
nese rebels, reported today that he
had returned the fire and silenced 1t.
Secretary Daniels gave out the fol-
lowing:
"On Jan. II at a. m. the United
States gunboat Monocacy while cruis-
Ing about fifty miles above Yochow on
the Yangtse Kiang river, was fired on
by Chinese and wa. hit a number Of
times. H. L. O'Brien, chief yeoman,
was fatally injured and W. N. Dom
nelly, seamon, slightly wounded. The
fire was returned by the Monocacy and
silenced.
1T is believed that the Chinese
were bandits or revolutionists."
The foregoing is paraphrase of the
official report from the commander of
the gunboat.

WILSON SUPPORTS
BAKER AND SLABS
SEN. CHAMBERLAIN

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Chamberlain's statement as to the
present inaction and Ineffective
ness of the government is an as
tonishing and absolutely unjusti-
fable distortion of the truth.
AS a matter of fact, the war de-
partment has performed a task OF
unparalleled magnitude and diff
Guilty with extraordinary prompt
ness and efficiency.
There have been delays and dis
appointments and partial miscar-
riages of plan, all Of which have
been drawn into the foreground
and exaggerated by the investiga-
lions which have been in progress
since the congress assembled-in-
vestigations which drew indispen-
sable officials of the department
constantly away from their work
and officers from their commands
and contributed a great deal to
such delay and confusion as had
inevitably arisen.
But by comparison with what
has been accomplished, these
things, much as they were to be
regretted, were insignificant, and
no mistake has been made which
has been repeated.
Nothing helpful or likely to
speed or facilitate the war tasks
of the government has come out
of such criticism and investiga-
ton.
/ understand that reorganiza-
tons by legislation are to be pro-
posed have not been consulted
about them and have learned OF
them only at second hand; but
their proposal came after effective
measures of reorganization had
been thoughtfully and maturely
performed. and inasmuch as these
measures have been the result of
experience they are much more
likely than any other to be ef-
fective, If the congress will re-
move the few statutory obstacles
of rigid departmental organization
which stand in their way.
The legislative proposals / have
heard of would involve long addi-
tional delays and turn our expert
ence into mere lost motion.
NV association and constant
conference with the secretary Of
war have taught me to regard kim
as one of the ablest public Of
ficials l have ever known. The
country will soon learn whether he
or his critics understand the BUSH
ness in hand.
To add, as Senator Chamberlain
did. that there IS inefficiency in
every department and bureau Of
the government is to show such
ignorance of actual conditions as
to make It impossible to attach
any importance to his statement.
] am bound to infer that that
statement sprang out of opposi-
ton to the administrations whole
policy rather than out Of any SER
ious intention to reform its prac-

SAVE CREDIT

STAY PRICES
That is Advice Of Federal
Reserve Board in It's
Report to Congress.

Washington, Jan. 22-Effect Of
credit expansion, the general rise OF
prices and the part the American peo-
pie can play in contradicting imitation
by war time economies were empha-
sized today by the federal reserve
board in its annual report to congress.
Explaining that even though credit
expansion is not entirely responsible
for increase in prices, the board says
it regards It as one Of its most import
ant duties to present, as far as prac-
ticable, expansion of banking credit
from running an uncontrolled course.
Goods and Credits" says the report,
must be saved to the utmost of our
ability in order to check the upward
movement of prices and in order tC
free for the use of the government the
goods and savings required for the
winning Of the war"
Conditions To Improve.
The present condition of greatly
expanded currency will be improved.
the board believes, "as the public per-
forms its duty of absorbing the gov
eminent loans out of savings" Be-

adds, federal reserve banks must re-
duce their investments to strengthen
reserves and avoid further expansion
that has accompanied the last two
Liberty loans. The board does not
say specifically how it proposes to do
this.
Among the many radical influences
of the war on the money markets the
board explained that one Of the most
pronounced had been the effort Of GER
tain interests to have the federal re-
serve system absorb 90-day notes or
other short term paper accepted with
the privilege of repeated renewals
The board had persistently opposed
any such effort to destroy liquidity OF
the banks assets on which the system
was based, the report said, but it ad-
mitted the majority of private and
corporate financing was so great as to
justify action by congress.
Roads Remove Problem.
The most serious problem of cor
porate financing has been removed by
government operation of railroads
says the boards report but the situa-
ton is still serious.
"The board, therefore, respectfully
suggests early consideration by con-
gress of the problem of corporate
financing in the belief that no salts
factory solution will be found thai
does not involve some degree of gov
ernmental Intervention"

Invented TO
CETU-B0ATS
Device is Made to Dive
After Subs; Adopted By
u. S. and Allies.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The mon
ricochet" shell, a weapon as deadly
as the depth charge. is the newest de-
vice perfected by the navy ordnance
experts for use against German sub
marines.
The new shell dives when 1t strikes
the surface of the water instead Of
bouncing as do the ordinary missiles
used in either naval or coast defense
artillery. In addition, through the use
Of new fuse, the charge can be made
to explode on contact with a solid sur
face under the water or at a pre-
determined depth. The value of the
latest anti-submarine weapon lies in
the fact that shots which fall slightly
short will be of as much effect as
those which register direct hits. Pur-
suing its course beneath the water,
the shell will explode against the side
Of the submerged submarine. SINH
larly when these shells are aimed at a
periscope of submarine, headed bow
on, there is a material increase in the
chances that an overshot will take ef-
feet somewhere along the hull.
Also Adoped by Allies.
The navy department has forbidden
the publication of details Of the in
tention, but it is known that the Brit
ish and French admiralties also have
adopted it..

The measure, 1t is understood

Chairman Lever said today he prob
ably would postpone introduction OF
the bill for several days because OF
the present tension in congress and
opposition which the broad price fix
ing powers sought by the president
are virtually certain to engender. He
