Americans Urged to Keep on Saving

St. Louis, N>v.-Eyen when the
peace parley, that will succeed the
signing Of the armiS'ice, is ended, and
peace succeeds Wal IN every land, the
patriotic Am r;N7rp m'-st rsaiiza, says

Of the Wsr S ylrRs Stamp CAun,'sn
for Missouri, that ihsr dp'y as ".
citizens is not eLced.
The first year Of II" ar savings
movement" said Drec'nr Carpenter,
which is now drawing 10 close, was
for the purpose Of raising funds with
which to destroy. Millio-s and bill
ions were raised in the United Sales
with which to equip our armies and
place them in Europe, to destroy Ger
many and her Allies, and make the
world sale for democracy. And the
buyers Of War Savings Stamps had a
great part in this work,
The men and money thus raised
have played a noble part in the stamp
ing out Of mililaEism and autocracy.
Now the Government needs more
money. 1t is even for a nobler purpose.
1t is to be used for rebuilding devasta
ted France aud Belgium. These
countries that for more than four years
felt the iron heel Of Prussianism, are
now freed from the yoke. But these
countries are exhausted financially,
Their man power is at low ebb With
out aid years would elapse before they
could regain their place among the
nations.
America is the country they look
to for financial aid. tn. mon:y they
need they will borrow from this c,ultry.
This is the only country thlt cln Nuke
the advances.
But America needs money for other
purposes than to lend. The contracts
entered into during the war must be ex
ecuted-when they cannot be cancel
led. The men in khaki, two millions
Of them on the other side must be
cared for aud returned safe and sound
to this county. All OF this will re-
quire money.
Not only must the people buy
more War Savings Stamps, but they
should see the necessity OF holding on
to those they have purchased. 1t is
10 the credit Of Missourians, who have
bought most generously Of these
securities, that comparatively few have
cashed them in. They feel like the
men who offered themselves 10 the
Government. These men, most Of
them, enlisted for the period Of war.
The buyers Of War Savings Stamps en-
listed their dollars and their quarter
dollars for four years"
Mr.. Carpenter says that in certain
sections Of the state some holders Of
these securities are presenting them
for redemption, but that the move
mept is not at all wide sprsad. In the
event that it should become so, how
ever the reconstruction work Of the
Government might be seriously ham

I had learned about Kam- meyer and in both of the conversa- tions Chat is. with MT. Loveman, MT. Joseph and Mir.

 q had no authority to say who they should employ and no right to object, and I stated to them that this was a matter of no concern to the government, but business proposi- tion for their consideration; and that, so far as I was concerned. I thought the special agents, who were all the time keeping a watch on Kammeyei., could do so as well where he was as at any other place. and that it would be of no benefit to the government for Loveman, Joseph Loeb to dis charge him
 This investigation has been kept up and has been continuous for sev- eral months. even up to this date, when I received the last report, and kammeyer will likely be informed as an alien for the duration of the war.

HEFL|N WILL FIGHT
 PRO-GERMAN TALK Congressman Tells Why He
 Attacked Mir. Mason GOES TO WASHINGTON Alabama Congressman Says He Is Tired of Having Congressional
 Record Made Medium for
 German Propaganda
GOES TO WASHINGTON

Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, who has been in Birmingham for several days visiting relatives. and who addressed the Liberty Loan luncheon here Tuesday, returned to Washington yesterday after noon.
 Just before leaving tho city yesterday Mir. Heflin, referring to the recent at tack upon him by Congressman Mason, said:
 We have had and still have a few men in Congress whose sayings and do- ings have not been in keeping with what consider the duty of an American pa triot in time of war They have said and done things since Germany made war upon the United States that have embarrassed. handicapped and hindered the government in the prosecution of the war.
 Since our boys have been called to the colors and have gone forth to fight and die for our country. I have felt it my duty from time to time to suggest the course that I thought best and prop CT for us, as members of Congress, to pursue l did not feel that I should re- main silent when men at the very seat of the national government were saying and doing things that hampered the President and delayed the government in it's war preparations.
 The men who have hindered their country and embarrassed the President in the prosecution of the war, while only noisy few, belong to both the demo- cratic and republican parties. and my criticism of their un-American conduct has not been from q partisan standpoint but from the conviction that it was my duty as an American patriot So long as the people at home are bearing the burdens of this war and their boys are fighting and dying on the battlefields for our country, I am going to continue to do my very best to keep Congress from becoming the forum and the Congress sional Record the vehicle for spreading German propaganda over the country. II believe that among the men in pub lie life in America sedition and disloyal- |ty, however sugar coated or disguised, should be made so odious and so con temptible that no official will be found llow-down and base enough to lift his voice or vote against the freest and best government in the world. We punish and rightly so, the private citizen whc says or does anything against his coun- ! try in time of war, and l intend te criticize and bring to the attention ol 1 the public the conduct Of members oi congress who say and do things agains, the country in time of war.
 Representative Mason of Illinois whose conduct I criticized last Friday
 was opposed to the war resolution. anc after war had been declared he opposed giving the President power to send ar army to join with our allies in striking down our enemy. Not long ago at this
 session If Congress he made speech I in, vsrhirb hc D0SitiOn the war, criticized our allies and saie
 things not in keeping with the spirit land facts of America's position in the Iwar. but he uttered no word of condem-

DENSON HEARING WILL PROBABLY BE NEXT WEDNESDAY Vigorous Denial Made of His Charge That Arrest Was a "Frame-Up" RESPONSIBILITY IS
 TAKEN BY MURRAY DeBardeleben and Ralph W. Quinn Also Issue Statements in Con-
 nection With Thurs
 days Arrest

United States Commissioner R. B. Watts has tentatively set Wednesday, Anril IT. as the date for the pre- Iiminary hearing of William A. Den son, the Birmingham attorney, who was arrested Thursday on charges Of disloyalty.
 MT. Denson is out under So0o0 bond, the specific charge against him pe- ing that he used the following words in the presence of two boys of draft ace, "Wilson is the cause and the whole cause of the United States being mixed up in the European war. Will son should be hung and I should like to see him hang"
 Denson's charge that his arrest was | a frame-up to keep him from appear l ing in the trial of certain cases in Shelby county next week brought viz orous denials from those affected yes I terday. J. Reese Murray, special rep resentative of the department of jus
 tice, disposed of Denson's contention | in the following statement: q feel that in justice to Assist | ant United States Attorney Quinn | a denial of the statement of Mir. William A. Denson should be made. Mr. Denson appears in the press as stating that MT. Quinn instructed l Commissioner Watts to issue the warrant for his arrest 1 "This, however, is not the case. The warrant was issued by an agent of the department of justice | under my instruction. MT. Quinn was not aware that this warrant was to be sworn out. Only mem- 1 bers of my office knew of 1t, and 1 it was not until after the war. 1 rant had been sworn out and l taken to the federal building for l approval by the United States att l torney or his assistant that Mr. I Quinn knew anything whatever about it.
 q will further state that no | corporation in this district or out | of it. nor any person connect l ed herewith had anything to do
 l with this warrant. The department l of justice agents, after careful in- l vestigation, found sufficient evil | dence to justify the issuance of
 l the warrant and it was there l fore issued under my sole direc- l tion."
 l MT. Quinn also issued a formal
 | statement. as did the Alabama Fuel
 | and Iron company, through its vice

COME ON BOYS!

Zip! Zip! Are We going to trim
the Germans7
Well, l guess with all Of Uncle
Sans boys rearin' to go, it's an
easy job.
But YOU have to help!
The Third Liberty Loan is more
important than the first and sec
ond. The Government needs your
financial cooperation You must do
your "bit" by subscribing to more
bonds than your income VIII allow.
Victory demands sacrifice. To win
without paying would make . laugh
ing stock Of the law Of average
Aside from the investment You
are assisting TO promote world de-
mocracy. Think of it! To make the
world safe from unjust ruling.
Government bonds are the last word
in securities. Your property and
other investments will be worthless
if we don't win this war. But there's
no such word as "dOn't" in the
American patriotic dictionary.
Remember we are all Americans!
Let's get together! Buy more than
your share of Liberty Bonds. The
game of life resembles the famous
childhood game of "Follow the
Leader" When you do your pa
triotic duty, your neighbor will
follow, and so on down the line.
When our boys come marching
home with old Glory waving proud
ly in the wind, you will be thrilled
with the thought that you have done
your "bit".
Let us all be stockholders in the
Bank of Humanity. Come on!
