IN spring q young mans fancy
i lightly turns TO thoughts OF love,
but there are many kinds OF love-" said
captain S. 4. veater. The robin loves
TO sing. the children love to play and
the young man OF steady habits loves
a sweet young woman But also the
rounder loves a wealthy lobster. the
vagrant loves Idleness, and the hobo
loves to roam That Is why crime is
at its zenith in the spring. The
FOUNDERS. Migrants and hoboes usually
work through the winter. as buildings
are pretty well closed and therefore
less accessible, and wealthy victims
are more or less indoors; but when
the gentle call OF springtime brings
everybody outdoors and persuades
people to leave their windows open. it
forms lure Of easy prey and a promise
Of a long summer OF comfort to them.
AS a rule. they come out in a rush.
as il were, trying TO clean up enough
in one or two weeks TO hold them over
for the entire summer But unfor-
tunately some OF them are caught and
they are forced then to spend the sum-
mer in jail against their wishes Our
men watch out for them closely along
about April OF May. that's when the
busy season starts"
while there IS no law prohibiting
an owner from selling or disposing Of
his Liberty bonds as he may see fit,
public opinion should make the way

Allies Got Materials.

Germany not only lost priced war
commodities, ranging from copper
and chrome to foodstuffs, for herself.
but she lost them to the allies. For
when the neutrals ceased to market
them with Germany they sent them
to Germany's enemies because Ger
many's enc mics were keeping them
alive.
Scarcity of tonnage required a
strict rationing of ships-to the neu-
trails. the allies and ourselves. For
example. our war needs called for
nitrate and wool from South America
South America needed our coal. Pri-
critics and ALLEGATIONS, under these
circumstances. played an important
part in getting for the allies and for
the United States what they needed
One of the most effective weapons
designed to dominate the situation
was the control of all bunker fuel
through license for every ship touch
ing American ports. Every ship OF
neutral or allied ownership had to~be
licensed if it wanted bunkers. Thus
the board was able to govern both voy-
age AND. cargo.
