BROWN COUNTY GOES
NATION ONE BETTER
OF PURCHASERS
ONE IN FOUR. NATION ONE Is
IN SIX -.
THIS IN THE COUNTY THAT
MCGEE CALLS A HOTBED
OF SEDITION

Complete and final returns of Brown
Countys subscription to the Third
Liberty Loan have been made available
by County Chairman H. L. Beecher
and merely corroborate what was well
known before. Brown Co. has over
subscribed it's allotment as a whole, and
so has every city, village and township
in the county.
b. Record on Distribution
Latest tabulations show the exact
amount to be $1,129, O50.O0; the allot-
ment for Brown Co. had been $780,
100000. The estimated population of
the county is 20,4OO; the number of
subscriptions 5,102, giving distribution
of rs per cent. This means that one
out of every four persons has bought a
bond. One Of the aims in making the
drive, as outlined by Mr.. A. R. Rogers,
Chairman Of the Executive Committee
for the Ninth Federal Reserve District,
was to secure as wide distribution as
possible. This district had led all
other districts in distribution for the
second loan, and as far as we know now,
it will keep this record this time also.
The fact is, Brown County's record in
distribution is better than that of the
national distribution. In the whole
country one out of every six persons
has bought bond.
Women Subscribers
One notable feature on Brown Co. is
that there are 600 women subscribers.
The total amount subscribed by them
is $88,400. This also is very good
showing, because it may justly be
assumed that there are many widows and
other self-supporting women among this
number who have not, an abundance of
this worlds goods and for whom the
purchase of bonds meant a sacrifice.
Officials Are Pleased Z,
The showing made by Brown Co. is
considered remarkable and great deal
of satisfaction has been expressed by
Mr.. Arthur R. Rogers and Governor
Theodore Void of the Federal Reserve
Bank.

WILSON DECLINES
TO VISIT GERMANY
Says ENo True American Could
Think of Visiting That Coun-
tly of Crimes.

Paris, Dec 10.-According to
wireless dispatch from the L. S. S.
George Washington, says Marcel HUI
tin in the Echo de Paris, President
Wilson has been informed that Pre-
mier Ebert and Foreign Secretary
Haase, of the Berlin government, and
Premier Eisner, of Bavaria, were
about to make an effort to get him to
visit Germany. The presid ent Is
quoted as having made this reply:
"Only by long years of repentance
can Germany atone for her crimes
and show sincerity. No true American
could think of visiting Germany unless
forced to do SO by strictly official OBJ
legations. That is to say, decline in
advance to consider any suggestion of
the kind"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MYTH, SAYS GEDDES
English WaG Lord Does Not Think
This Would Stop All Wars
In Future.

Cambridge, England, Dec. 9.-The
establishment of a league of nations
will not result in the development of
= world in which no wars will occur,
armaments will be unnecessary and
reason s1lpplant violence, In the opin-
ion of SIR Eric Geddes, first lord of
The admiralty, expressed in an ad
dress here tonight. Under the most
favorable conditions, he declared, it
was to be expected that a police force
would be required. On the sea, he
added. the British navy had per-
formed that function faithfully and
impartially, preventing the free ma
lions from being crushed by Ger
many. He regarded it as inconce1v-
able that the supremacy of the Brit
ish navy would ever be surrendered.
The first lord expressed the belief
that Germany should be made to re-
fund the full cost of the war and pay
for all the damage she had done by
sea and land, to the uttermost far
thing.

RAILROAD DIRECTORS
To IMPROVE SERVICE
New Trains Will Be Added
and Public's Interests
Considered.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Restoration
of normal passenger service now has
been undertaken by the railroad ad-
ministration said Director General
McAdoo today. A number of trains,
he announced, will be added to exist
ing schedules within the next few
weeks.
THE war now being practically
over,' he said, sit will be the policy
of the railroad administration during
the remaining period Of federal con-
troll to give to the public the best
service Of which the railroads are
capable. AS rapidly as possible serv-
ice will be improved, although the
trains which were run under private
control merely for competitive rea-
sons, will not be restored. Such serv-
ice was unnecessary.
plans already have been made for
service to California, Florida and the
southeastern states during the COM
ing winter. The public may be as
sured that the railroad administration
will do everything possible to meet
the needs of the travelling public"

SAVINGS BANK MEN
MEET IN HARTFORD
Liberty Loans Have Had Some Effect
In Reducing Amount of De-
posits During Year.

Hartford, Dec. 10.-The annual
meeting of the Savings Bank associa-
ton of Connecticut was held at the
Hartford club today. President Fred
Strong of New Haven presided. TT
is with considerable satisfaction he
said, that we savings bankers gather
ing today for our 10th annual meet
ing can look back over the past year
with its cares and problems. 1t has
at times seemed that the financial
operations of the government in the
fioatation of Liberty bonds have in
terfered somewhat with the normal
growth of our business. Yet / believe
that the encouragem ment by the gov
eminent of thrift and economy has
laid the foundation for the increased
use in the years to come of the faci-
lities which savings banks offer.
"It is to the credit of this state
that our savings banks have CO.
operated in a generous way to the
limit of their liquid resources in as
sisting the Liberty bond issues. 1t Is
desirable in my opinion that savings
banks should contract the habit OF so
arranging their investments that there
will be q continuous flow of - funds
ready for any demand
Il commend to your thought the
plan adopted by the society of saw
ings of Cleveland which has opened
an agricultural department to serve
the interests of farmers also q house
hold economies department under the
supervision of q woman trained in
that work.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS WILL
BE ONE OF GRAVEST ITEMS
BEFORE PEACE CONFERENCE
Ureat Britain May Demand
Right to Patrol Seas Dur
ing Future Wars AS Dur
ing Present One

London, Dec. 1O.-One of the
gravest problems at the peace con-
ference will be based on what is
meant by freedom of the seas and
what concessions Great Britain is go
ing to make in that direction, said
Sir Frederick f. Smith, attorney
general in q speech at Liverpool yes
terday. He added that he was en-
gagged in preparing memorandum
on the subject for the war cabinet.
England Will Concede All Possible.
America has rendered brilliant
service in the cause of civilization"
Sir Frederick said, "and Great Britain
is bound to approach the conference
with a determination to concede any
thing possible to American sentiment
and American views, having regard
for national security and existence Of
the empire.
War and Peace Differences
Americans must remember that
the seas are free to everyone in peace
time and that to none has that free
dom been denied. In time of war,
4AO" Sl, OliC ing III DIS "GII ldIk Ol
the freedom of the land as the free
dom of the seas. Imagine Belgium,
northern France or Serbia talking
about freedom of the land. The
moment war arises, great coercive and
primeval forces assert themselves and
the region of law is abandoned for
the assertion of naval and military
force. Belligerents during the war
had q right to- carry on war. Neutrals
had the right to carry on trade. But
if there was a collision between the
, right of belligerents to put restraint
upon the enemy and the right of
ncutrals to carry on trade, the subor-
dinate right OF the neutrals had to
give way to the imperious primary
right of the belligerent.
What May Be Necessary.
TT has been recognized for more
than three centuries that q nation
which is supreme is as much entitled
to impose it's viii maritimely on in
ferior enemies by blockade as a nation
stronger on land is able to impose it's
will militariIy on a weaker nation.
II am not sure that Great Britain
will not have to say to the Allies at
the peace conference: We shall be
quite satisfied with such a definition
of freedom of the seas as will enable
the British navy in the unfortunate
event of future wars to do exactly
what the British navy, aided by the
American navy, has been doing for
the past eighteen months
