other "a bowling alley. and not far off

of the slope is scanned with trenches and
torn with the innumerable shells that
have fallen there in the last -four years.
All day heavy German movements
back of the lines have been reported,
but present indications point to the
conclusion that the Germans are de-
termined to hold the kriemhild line at
all costs. Captured documents show
that their policy is to hold this post
ton and fight in front of It. and there
fore the battle now going on is really
for the kriemhild Stollung.
KriemhIId Line Important
This Kriemhild line is an important
protection for the German east wing
of the great salient and the Argonne
forest is perhaps the strongest position

THE FIRST INTEREST
INSTALLMENT,

On December Is the first installment
of interest on the two billion dollars
of the first issue of Liberty Loan
Bonds became due. The amount ap-
proximated $35, 000, 900, being $1.75 in
terest on every one hundred dollars of
bonds.
Holders of coupon bonds obtain
their interest money from any bank or
post Office in the country by simply
presenting their coupons. Holders of
registered bonds are sent checks for
their interest by the Treasury.
Hereafter every six months ten to
fifteen million American citizens are
to receive interest money on their Lib
erty Loan Bonds from the United
States Government. This is going to
create a closer and more direct associ-
alton of these citizens with their Gov
eminent, and the effect of this %associa-
ton Is going to be of great value to
these citizens and of great value to the
Nation in making them more personal
ly interested in their Government and
more active and alert in the exercise
of their duties and rights as citizens.
Every Liberty Bond holder Is going to
be an active champion of wise and
economic legislation and administra-
ton.
The Liberty Loan is not only a great
financial transaction; it is a great ma
tional force, a great national bond be-
tween the bondholders and their coun-
try, a great influence for better govern
ment and better citizenship.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-01-12
THE BONDS ON STOCK EXCHANGE

The daily quotations of Liberty
Loan Bonds on the New York Stock
Exchange below par do not represent
any real loss for those holders of Lib
erty Loan Bonds who do not need to
sell them. The figures do mean a
very small loss for those who find
themselves compelled for M cas-
or another to sell; but those who hold
on to their bonds have n of the very
best investments in the world-abso-
lutely safe, free to a great extent from
taxation, and bringing in an absolute
ly certain income. The loss to them is
purely imaginary, a paper loss, not a
real one.
Secretary McAdoo, in a speech be-
fore the Liberty Loan conference in
Washington recently, made the state
ment that, while sufficient legally COM
petent evidence was not in hand TO
warrant conviction before a jury, yet
enough was known morally to con-
vince a man of understanding that the
hand of the Kaiser was at work in
bringing about sales of Liberty Loan
Bonds and depressing their price on
the exchange. This is added proof
that the loss indicated by the differ
ence between par aud the stock ex-
change prices is fictitious and not real.

FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS
AND WAR LOANS

Representatives of fraternal insur-
ance organizations and societies from
every part of the United States at a
meeting in Washington called by Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo agreed
to form War Savings associations and
to conduct economy and savings CAM
paigns all over the country and them
selves invest in Government War
Loans.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing to the respective organizations of
the representatives present that they
ratify and indorse the meetings in its
purpose and cooperate in the cam
paigns for War Savings and Liberty
Loans.
The enlistment of the united and
active support of fraternal o%rganiza-
tions in the campaign for economy
and saving is a most helpful sign. The
f~raternal societies of the United States
WELD a tremendous influence and form
a body of citizens which is a great fac
tor in our national life as well as in
their respective localities. The value
of their active cooperation and assist
ance in the War Savings campaign
will be of incalculable value.

ARMY REGULATIONS URGE
CORDIAL RELATIONS BETWEEN
OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN.

The following paragraph of Army
Regulations is the only rule now ex-
listing regarding the relationship be-
tween officers and enlisted men:
Supporters are forbidden to injure
those under their authority by tyranni-
cal or capricious conduct or by abus-
i've language. While maintaining dis
cipline and the thorough and prompt
performance of military duty, all offlc-
ers, in dealing with enlisted men, will
bear in mind the absolute necessity of
so treating them as to preserve their
self-respect. officers will keep in as
close touch as possible with the men
under their command, will strive to
build VI such relations of confidence
and sympathy as will insure the free
approach of their men to them for
counsel and assistance. This relation
ship may be gained and maintained
without relaxation of the bonds of dis
cipline and with great benefit to the
service as a whole"
