Our Counter Offensive
The Liberty Loan
By William Loeb, Jr.

TINE third Liberty Loan cam
paign was not deliberately
J. timed, as l understand it, to
..;ncide with this titanic struggle
s.c;ng in Picardy. 1t only happened
hot way. And yet, if the German
;-;ve had to come, the coincidence
!. very fortunate one for many
,sasons. To begin with, it will give
.rerv one of us civilians and stay
...homes a share in the counter Of
.msive.
This is a privilege of the first
,der Here we are the anxious
illnesses of definite and open bid
for world dominion on the part of
The mightiest and meanest foe of
human society which has ever mas
oueraded in the clothing of divine
right. To have to stand by, though
L be 5000 miles away, while such
an attempt is being made to render
this planet uninhabitable would be
an intolerable strain on the nerves
and heart Of every genuine patriot.

Kaiser now seeking to break in at
the door of civilization and liberty.
Every investor in Liberty bonds be-
comes partner in the sacred enter
prise of defending his own home
and those of his countrymen and Of
his allies from utter dissertation.
What the Persians would have done
to ancient Greece had they con-
quered at Thermopyla, such would
be the Kaiser's will with US should
he break through in Picardy. 1t is
this which we are called upon to
prevent, every mothers son and
daughter of us, by providing the
money without which there can be
no defence at all
Here, then, is our opportunity.
The third Liberty Loan campaign
opens on the anniversary of our en-
trance into the world war. Fresh
in our minds are the pictures of
superheroism and slaughter on the
Western front, with everything we
hold dear in the world hanging ON
the battles outcome. In such a sit
uation the heaviest investment pos
sible in the bonds Of this third loan
should prove an act Of devotion al
most automatic.
BuS aside from the vividness of
our conception of the German men
ace to country and civilization,
thanks to the stupendous drive in
progress, what about our boys over
there? General Pershing has Of

tered the entire American army for
service in breasting the food Of
boches, and General Foch has ac-
cepted the offer. These men, our
own flesh and blood, are already, it
may be, part of that gallant host
who are giving everything that me,.
can give to defend US who remain
behind. Shall we begrudge them
the utmost measure of our support =:
Keeping Up the
Bridge Of Ships
Between these men and their
base of supplies stretches bridge
of ships more than 5000 miles in
length. Constantly assailing this
precious bridge, their life line, are
the submarines Of the enemy. The
ships lost must be replaced. AS we
increase the number of our troops
in France we must increase the out
tut of ships to keep these men
equipped and provsioned. Ships
and more ships~form the very first
item in the list of those necessities
without which our army in France
insult surrender or starve. And
these ships are built from the pro-
ceeds of Liberty bonds.
The proceeds of Liberty bonds
provide practically everything which
the ships transport to Amerit an SOL
ciers at the front. Their pay, to
start with. 1t isn't very much, only
a dollar day to the private for the
privilege of fighting and suffering
and dying for us. AS compared with
the wages Of labor, even the hum
blest sort Of labor at home, it seems

the merest pittance. But it is nee
essary And then food, without
which not even heroes can get along.
and clothing and personal equip
ment. Except for the sale of Lib
erty bonds none of these things
could be forthcoming, nor could the
artillery, the airplanes, the ammuni-
ton, and last, but not least, the re-
Inducements, without which no
army to-day could last a moment in
battle, be secured. When we talk
of supporting our troops III France
we can mean only that through in
vestment in Liberty bonds we as a
nation are sending them all these
things in the tremendous abundance
which the situation demands.
Not Penny
Will Be Wasted
This, of course, takes money,
oceans of money. Already we have
weathered two Liberty Loan cam
paigns since that date a year ago
when we threw neutrality to the
winds. Both resulted in oversub-
scriptions. And yet the end seems
further off than ever. Yet the
money we subscribed on those oc-
casions has not been wasted or we
should not have the supreme salts
faction to-day Of reading that
sublime offer of Pershing's. And
now that the men for whose train
ing and transportation and support
we have provided have taken their
place in the line, it is all the more
essential that We back them up with
all we have and all we are.

torture was resorted to. Resolute and

gentle and shy listened when brought
before her judges to the sentence of
death by hanging. Since Sophie Per-

had been condemned to die thus.
Her last thoughts were for a free

 bANKER'S ADVICE

Careful and conservative, as he is in his banking business, H. J. McClung, president of the Phoenix National bank and the Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust company, finds satisfaction in the business done the past year but be- lieves that caution should be exercised in such times as these in all invest ments and steps taken to see that liqui- dation is always easy.
 The large loans floated by the na- tional government and the demand Tn all lines for money. said President Me Clung, have materially stiffened the money market so that even prime paper is paying 50 per cent more for money than it did year ago. For the future it is a mere guess, though I see noth- ing that should indicate any change in business conditions in the immediate future.
 During the past year the entrance or thls nation into the world war has or necessity greatly stimulated busi- ness. It has created demand for the products of this section and state just as 1t has everywhere else These pro- ducts have sold at exceptionally good prices and this has brought prosperity nere as elsewhere. l see no reason to think that this prosperity will not be continued in 1918 but I believe that credit should be kept as liquid as pos slole for all emergencies.

PLENTY OF GAME IN
 BRITISH COLUMBIA
Vancouver Sum-

British Columbia's big game is said to be increasing. In the seclusion of the deep forests and wild fastness of the mountains the black and grizzly bears, the moose the caribou, the mule deer, the black tail and coast deer, the Rocky Mountain goat and sheep, ovis fannini, ovis canadensis and ovis stonel :he finest game animals on the con- tinent, have been on the increase dur ;ng the last few years, it is reported. lE the United States, except in the game preserves, the larger game anil rlals are melting away
 It Is very gratifying to sportsmen and to all admirers of wild animals, that for a considerable length of time the great mountain wilderness of this province will remain in it's primitive state and will afford game animals an ideal home, where they can live almost undisturbed, under the dual protection of nature and the game laws. The game that inhabits the great fields of mountains in British Columbia is one of the most valuable natural assets the province possesses. British Colum- bia is the most wonderfully stocked game land on the continent and offers large game hunter gfeater Opportuni- ties than any other country in the world except the African game lands. Moose, deer, mountain sheep and goats, black and grizzly bears. wolves. coy otes, mountain lions and lynxes live in this province in greater abundance than in any other part of America and ow- ing to the ideal surroundings in which they live, the size and condition of the larger animals is usually superior to those of the big game of the American game fields.
 It will be many years before the wild places of the province will be opened mp and the abodes of the game re- stricted to an extent. In the mean

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-A New Years plea for war time economy to assist the United States in financing itself and the allies was issued tonight by the federal reserve board in the form of a suggestion to banks to pro- mote thrift campaigns in their com munities.
 Let the public realize" says the statement, that it is more respectable in such wa rtimes as confront us to be seen in old clothes than in new ones.
 The banks are urged in their dis tricts the meaning and the necessity o, saving and it's relation to the success ful financing of the war-to tell the city merchant and the country store keeper that this is not the time to buy and stock up. especially with luxu- ries.
 Let the banks tell the people Of their communities and their authori- ties, the mayors and governors, that this is not the time for cities to be spending money on public works; rather should they be considering the suspension of existing work with the view of releasing men and material for the use of the government so as not to compete with the government

The treasury department has is- sued new ruling CT. D. 2s1s) in relation to gifts and bonuses. as follows;
 Tn order to establish uniformity and to facilitate the work Of intern al revenue officers who arc engaged in the examination of books for the verification of returns of annual nel income made pursuant to the re- quirements of the Federal Income Tax law, you are informed that spe- cial payments, sometimes denomin- ated gifts or bonuses, made by corporations, partnerships, or indi- viduals to officers or employees, will constitute allowable deduction from gross income in ascertaining net in. come for the purpose of the income tax, when such payments are made in good faith and as additional com pensatiol, for the services actually rendered by the officers and em- ployes. If such payments, when ad- ded to the stipulated salaries do not exceed a reasonable conpcnsa- tion for the services rendered, they will be regarded as @ part of the wage or hire of the officer or empIoye, and therefore an ordinary and Ieces- sary expense of operation and Inair- tenance, and as such will he de- ducted from gross income.
 Special payments made to officers or employees, although in the form of additional salaries or compaasa- ton, will be regarded as a special distribution of profits or compen- sation for the capital invested, and not as payment for services rendered, If the amount of such payment is based upon or bears close re- lationship to the stock holdings of such officers or employees or to the capital invested by them in the busi- ness. Payments under such latter conditions being in the r.ature of divi- dends or distribution of profits will not be deducted from the gross income.
 Salaries of officers CT employees. who are stockholders or have an in terest in the business, will be sub ject to careful analysis, and if they are found to be rather in propor- ton to the stock holdings IT interest of such officers and employees than to the real value or the services rendered and to be in excess of the salaries paid to officers or employees in similar positions in other con- $erns doing business of a like nature and of approximately equal volume and earnings, the amount paid in excess of reasonable com pensation for the services will not
 be deducted from gross income. but

faith are necessary, became so pessi- mistic that he determined to write to President Wilson setting forth his views upon the situation. He did write a gloomy letter. He told the president that unless the government came to the aid of the railroads, guaranteeing sufficient income to protect those who are holders of shares or of bonds then Within year or two some of the in- surance companies will be bankrupted and many of the savings banks will find themselves in a deplorable condi- ton.
 What this man ventured to write President Wilson. others have been saying one to another The small shop keepers are beginning to complain that Frank A. Vanderlip and others, in their advocac- of strict and severe economy have so influenced customers that these shops are doing little or no bus mess.
 New York is a cosmopolitan city and many of those who dwell or do busi-
 ness in the city look upon affairs ex- clusively from the point of view of money. This is not true of the bankers or of most of the successful business
 men but it does seem to be true of a
 certain class in New York City. Tn
 this respect New York differs from any
 other large community in the United States. If, at first, those who dwell in
 the west were not so quick to appre,
 ciate all that our entrance into the war
 meant as were many of those who live in the east, now the west and the south surpass some parts of the east in their
 understanding of what the war means

 Fully as important as economy Of goods is economy of credit and it's limitation as far as possible to essen- tions of the war, the board declares.
 War financing in the last analysis" says the statement, means putting the government in possession of goods and services. Financing by loans means the sale to the government of goods on credit. To win the war, our government and the governments with which we are associated must have goods and services. It is of as much importance, therefore, that the govern ment should be helped to obtain the goods it requires as 1t is that it should be helped to procure the credit it re- Quires with which to pay for goods.

steady growth of deposits in Phoenix reflects the general prosperity here and it is a satisfaction to know that with the exceptional demands made in 1917 upon the banking facilities in all parts of the country the response has been so complete, enabling the floating of the great loans, and yet the banks are in as sound a financial condition as ever in their history

the situation looks very dark. Their apprehension is that Germany is going to win, and then they query, what will become of the securities Americans have bought? Nothing of this kind is noticeable in the west or in the south and from the northwest, especially the Minneapolis district, all of the reports tell of the prevalence of loyalty and enthusiasm and the sense of duty which is upon everyone to give fuK support to the government at this time.
 Some of the pessimism goes so far that pains are taken to make the pres ident aware of it. MT. Hawk spoke of a case which had come to his know ledge since his return from the west. A business man who is an investor and who should have had experience enough in making his fortune to realize that there are times when courage and
