Final figures on the Fourth Liberty

Town Chairman William A. SUBWAY
this morning, indicating that Brattlc-
boro raised $S07 900 or an overSubscrip-
tion of $4,000, although the official re-
serve bank figures fall short of totals
given Chairman Shumway.
Chairman Shumway had been advised
that several thousand dollars subscribed
by employees of the Central Vermont
Railway company through their head
office in st. Alhane would be credited 10
Brattleboro, but returns from New Eng
land headquarters Of the Liberty Loan
committee do not indicate that the
credit ha, been given.
State figures as given by the town
charmcn show larger subscriptions
than that reported by the Federal Re

scribers have not made their initial pay
ment. and doubtless this is responsible
for part of the discrepancy in figures.

REPR|SAL THREAT

HUNS AMERICA WILL KILL
MAN FOR MAN.
lBy The ASSOCIATED Press.)


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Amer
lean Government, in reply to Ger
many's threat to execute American
prisoners of war found in possession
Of shotguns yesterday gave notice that
Il Germany carries out any such threat
suitable reprisals would be taken.
Secretary Lansing's reply declares
that the use of shotguns is sanctioned
by The Hague conventions, and that
in comparison with other weapons now
used in modern warfare, the shotguns
used by the American troops cannot
be the subject of legitimate or unrea-
sonable protest.
If the German Government should
carry out its threat in single in
stance" says Secretary Lansing's re-
ply, "it will be the right and duty of
the United States to make such re-
prisals as will best protect the Amer
lean forces, and notice is hereby
given of the intention of the Govern
ment of the United States to take
such reprisals."

FRANCO-RUssIAN FINANCE.

The decision of the French government to
accept Russian bonds in payment of subscrip-
tons to the new French war loan is master
stroke, both from the point of view of finance
and of international politics. 1t will undoubtedly
dc much to increase the power and prestige of
the Clemeneeau cabinet.
The Russian loans floated in France totaled
about 9,000000,000 francs The first of them
was issued about the time the Franco-Russian
entente was transformed into close alliance
Subscription to Russian loans was regarded as
matter of patriotism, all classes taking part in
it, from the workman to the millionaire Tens
of thousands of people invested their entire
savings in the various issues. Many aged people
who had nothing to live upon except their in
vestn1ents IN Russian securities were reduced to
complete poverty when the bolsheviki repudiat-
ed the national debt. The sudden and total loss
OF 00,000,000 francs was a terrible blow for
a people sorely tried by three years of devasta-
ting war
The present offer of the French government
is their salvation. Their Russian bonds. which
yesterday were so much waste paper, will be
transformed into French 'rentes," bearing in
crest at 4 per cent, security of the first class
iile dctlon OI Une government Will undoubtedly
save thousands Of people from ending their
days in poverty and will immensely increase
the confidence of the French people in the ma
tional credit.
Such is the financial side of the question The
political side is hardly less important. Russia
will now have as her creditor not a number of
lrdlvlduals but the entire French nation. rep-
resented by its government When new and
stable regime is created in Russia, one which
viii be conscious of the national obligations of
the country, the French government will be able
TO PIT forward its just claims to a settlement.
1t VIII be able to show more patience than the
individual bondholders could have done and
VIII be able thus to facilitate settlement. It's
action will also have the effect of restoring Rus
san credit to certain degree. The fact that on
french territory Russian bonds have regained
their par value can only have salutary effect.
Close attention will have to be exercised. how
ever, on the frontier to prevent the smuggling
INTO France of bonds of the Franco-Russian
loans held in Germany, in order to exchange
them for French "rentes "-Washinqton Post
