STABILIZING Of
LIBERTY BONDS ON

With Liberty bonds selling at 96

Liberty market" and keeping bonds
near par constitute serious financial
questions, Secretary McAdoo said to-
day in a communication to the House
Ways and Means Committee, indicates.
McAdoo estimates that about $780,
900. 900 worth of the bonds have been
re-soId. of which about half have been
New York Stock Exchange sales.
Increasing the interest rates is not
the remedy, the Secretary stated.
1T is the verIest circle to have 10
face increased rates on successive
Issues" McAdoo said. THE British
have tried the system OF setting aside
l per cent Of each issue to buy the
bonds offered in the open market, but
that has proven Ineffective"
Several bills TO this effect are now
pending in Congress.
"If the Government should offer TO
buy all bonds offered" the Secretary
continued, ait makes the loan nothing
more than a demand obligation. ]

could afford to take any position like
that. II we set aside SlOO.O0OOO0 to
buy back the bonds at par Il would
be an invitation for all holders to
sell and the fund would soon be eX

McAdOo mentioned a great educs-
tional campaign so that the people
would keep the bonds and not sell
them unless absolutely necessary.
The decline OF the bonds. McAdOo
said. was due to a multiplicity Of

Shortly after her bisamOus mar

In reply to that letter, Aberly wrote
his wife what the police say was a
most affectionate letter. The letter
fell into the hands OF Wilde, who

that Germany could intrenCh herself
on the Pacific coast of Siberia and
MAINTAIN a long line OF communication
with Berlin il not taken seriously
here with the present dilapidated
condition OF the transcontinental
railroads.
Full Consultation.
Whatever policy is resolved, however.
very probably will be formulated after
full consultation between the United
States and the allies. Japan. as a mem
her OF the entente group. is exhibiting
every desire TO refrain from taking the
initiative or any step that might be
considered by the other allies as a diplo-
matte embarrassment in future dealings
with Russia.
1t Is a critical decision OF policy
not because OF any fear that the
Japanese would be unwilling to re-
turn such territory as they might
acquire in Siberia, but because Of the
genuine apprehension that the allies
may force Russia into the arms OF
Germany at a time when the Russian
democracy is helpless. The eXpecta-
ton in some quarters has been that a
counter revolutionary movement
would sooner or later unseat Trotsky
and Lenine. Would the entrance of
Japan assist or retard such a result?
These are troublesome times for al
lied diplomacy.

COAL EDICT !
JUSTIFIED BY
CRISIS, SAYS
CONG. RAINEY

Not until the end of the war can
the real reason for the suspension
of industry under DR.. Garfeld's
drastic order be told. Withholding
enforcement of the order for five
days, as requested by the Senate,
was impossible in the position in
which the Government found itSelt.
This was the Administration an
swer to criticism of the fuel admin
istrator by Senators Reed and
Lodge, given in the House this aft
ernOon by Congressman Rainey of
Illinois. Rainey spoke from infor-
nation supplied to him by DR.. Gar
field, Food Administrator Hoover,
and Director General McAdoo.
Secret Now.
"The entire story cannot nov be
told. Eainey said. after the war
IS over il Will be possible to give all
the reasons for the coal order OF
January Il last. Under the stress
OF Congressional criticism too much
has already been disclosed with ref
erence to the movement OF troops and
munitions aG-oss the Atlantic, and
with reference TO other matters which
should have been Kept from our
enemies.
when the whole story is told there
will be members o. this House who
would be glad to expunge from the
record the speeches they made after
the PRONUNCIATION OF the coal order.

impossible. 1 cannot discuss the mat

The world will watch with inter
est the outcome of the German oc-
cupation of Russia, as also the dis
position the Teutonic powers will
make of their agents, Lennine and
Trotsky-for that these worthless
have been all along working in the
interest of Germany, few thinking
people now doubt. If treachery is
regarded in proportion to its base
ness, they should have high place
in the favor of the Kaiser. If
Russia is really their fatherland,
they must find deep consolation in
the thought that through their efforts
she now lies helpless under the heel
of her oppressor.

The members of the boys corn
clubs, pig clubs, and the girls can
ming clubs should be actively at
work these days, that the enthusiasm
may not be permitted to wane in the
slightest degree. The work of these
agencies never counted for so much
as they will the coming season.
The great urgency of food conserva-
ton during the coming year opens
a field for the activities of these or
CARNATIONS nevere before offered
them. Heretofore their work has
been largely as a matter of pride in
superior achievement for achieve
ment's sake. Now there is the add
ed incentive that every gain effected
counts in the final winning of the
war. Each worker has the full
knowledge that his or her individual
efforts are not only appreciated but
urgently needed. This should spur
them to the effort to discount all
former records. The young people
of the land are exhibiting a splendid
patriotism, and they may rest as
sured it is appreciated to the full
by their elders.

The chief statistician of the food ad-

The chief statistician of the food ad-
ministration demonstrates that from
May. 1917, to May, 1918, wholesale
food prices fell IA per cent. And then
comes along a statement issued by the
department of labor showing that in
the six cities. Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and
San Francisco, food that cost 81 in
July, 1918 could have been bought
for Sc cents in July. 1917. An in
crease of IA. cents on food that cost
SO cents, would be over 16 per cent.
Now what advantage do we get If
wholesale prices of food go down IA
per cent from May, 1917, to May.
1918, but the retail price of food goes
up 16 per cent from July, 1917, to
July. 1918. One feature of the figures
is that the food administration COM
piles statistics for one period and the
department of labor for another The
food administration gives US whole

not pay, while the department of la
Dor gives retail prices, which we do
pay
