ARMIES BRING MONEY
TO PEOPLE Of FRANCE
Mons. M. Mjelde Writes That
French Banks Are Full Be-
cause People Save.
BY MOSS. M. MJELDE.
Especial Correspondence OF The Even.
ing Star and chicago Daily News.)

PARIS, France, November 10.-The
and destruction to France. There is.
| to some degree, consolation in the
facts that it has also brought with
| it elements for reconstruction and de-
| velopment in the future.
What loss the downfall Of Russia
has caused to French holders of Rus
sian securities. and thereby to French
money savers, is to a considerable ex-
tent compensated by British and
American money. This has been Law
ishly poured into the country, not
| only in the form of loans, but in
the shape of commercial profit.
What Great Britain and the United
States have done to France, not only
in a military and naval sense. but
for its economic resurrection, is, on
ing chapters in the history of this
war. Indeed, it is one of the most
striking proofs of brotherhood be-
tween nations. The idea of that
league Of international fraternity was
first enunciated by a British states
man, Sir Edward Grey. in an inter-
view with an American journalist,
and it was promptly taken up and fur
Their elaborated by American states
men. In the spirit of this idea Britain
and America have acted and are still
acting toward France.
Besides the loans given to France
| there is the daily endorsement by
100000 men of the allies in France
to the French population behind the
lines in return for small commodities
aud services. If on an average every
allied soldier spends say francs Gao
cents) a day in France. it amounts to
a total of 100000 a day (s2,0O0.O0O.
No doubt the average is greater, and
some people think it can be put at
francs; that is a total of 100000
francs ($5,000.000) a day.
This is a fairly good income for the
population in towns and villages
where allied troops are stationed or
spend their holiday on leave. Know
ing the French gift of saving money.
nobody will be surprised at hearing
| that French banks are full of money
When, therefore, the Germans pre-
dicted that France would very soen
be economically exhausted they made
a great mistake, similar to all their
other great mistakes in this war
Great Britain and the United States
have seen to that.

GERMANY'S iron KING"
ACCUSED Of TREASON

Switzerland, December g.
August Thyssen, one of Germany's great
manufacturers, and a number of other
manufacturers were arrested Saturday
at Mulheirn- Am-Ruhr on charges OF
high treason. Besides August Thyssen
those arrested were Fritz Thyssen, Ed
mond SHINES, Herr Becke, Herr Writ,
DR.. Kuechen, a commercial counselor,
and Herr Stenz, a mining engineer.
After being examined for several hours
by the socialist council of Mulhein, the
manufacturers were sent to Munster,
whence they will be taken to Berlin
to face charges made against them.
August Thyssen has been known as
"the iron king Of Germany. He is
the owner of vast coal and iron mines
and leading manufacturer. The
SHINES family also is prominent in
the iron business and has shipping
interests.
This is the first report from Ger
many that the socialists have taken
any action against the leading manu-
facturers there.
August Thyssen incurred the mo-
mentary displeasure of former En-
peror William last January by pub
fishing an article in German news
papers accusing the emperor of black
mailing German business men before
the war.

PLANS TO SECURE JOBS
FOR GIRL WAR WORKERS
Labor Department Would Place al

teered for Service.

ton of the great American Army OF

was being worked out in the war

proximately $4,000 woman war work.
ers was not forgotten by the govern
ment. In the Labor Department tine
Secretary of Labor studied reports
and devised plans for sending to their
homes the workers. The government
recognized that the battles have been
fought in Offices as we'll as trenches;
that typewriters as well as machine
guns aided in victory.
When the first group of women was
to be released, representatives OF the
United States employment service and
the war labor policies board. held a
special conference. The outcome of
this conference was that it was as
sured that each girl would be offered
a position in or near the place in
which she volunteered for war serv-
ice.
With the machinery of the war
equipment of the service reversed to
meet reconstruction demands, it Is
not thought that there will be a
serious problem of unemployment
either for women or returned soldiers.
The one necessity is that employers
and employees utilize the nationwide
facilities of cooperation that the gov
eminent has provided.

GEORGE URGES AMERICA
TO COME TO THE RESCUE
Premier Through Reading Calls on u

in Shortest Possible Time.

New York, March 2S.-A message
from David Lloyd George, prime
minister of Great Britain, calling up
on the United States to send Amer
lean reinfoTcements across the At
lantic in the shortest possible space
OF time" was read last night by
Lord Reading, British high commits
sioner 10 the United States, at din
ner given here in his honor.
We are at the crisis of the war,
attacked by an immense superiority
of German troops" said the premier
in his message. Our army has been
forced to retire. The retirement has
been carried out methodically before
the pressure of a steady succession
of fresh German reserves which are
suffering enormous losses.
The situation is being faced with
splendid courage and resolution. The
dogged pluck Of our troops has for
the moment checked the ceaseIess on,
rush Of the enemy, and the French
have now Joined in the struggle. But
this battle, the greatest and most
momentous in the history of the
world, is only just beginning
Throughout il the French and Brit
ish are buoyed with the knowledge
that the great republic OF the west
will neglect no effort which can has

possible to exaggerate the import
ance OF getting American arms
across the Atlantic in the shortest

LONG PERIOD OF REST
AFTER THE NEXT LOAN
Government Expects to Float Fourtf /,
Liberty Loan Next October or
November.

Washington, March 2S.-The gov
crnments general financial plans for
the next eight months, disclosed las.
night by Secretary McAdoo, provide
for long period of rest from bond
issues after the third loan Of So
000.000,0O0 next month, and for
floating of the fourth liberty loan
next October or November.
The amount OF the fourth loan
probably will be greater than any
of those that have gone before, and
to prepare for it the treasury next
summer probably will start the is
suance of certificates Of indebted
ness in considerable amounts.
Loans to allies will be continued
and although more than $1,000
100000 authorized for this purpose
still remains, congress is expected to
approve extension of further cred
its to the sum of $1,500.00O, 900. Mr..
McAdoo estimates that this will be
sufficient TO fill allied needs until
ments are made at the secretary's 5
discretion, subject only to congress.
In the same way, the amount OF
certificates of indetedness actually
to be issued depends on Secretary
McAdoo's decision. These are issued
usually for 90-day periods, and are
redeemable at times when receipts
from liberty loans or taxes are heavy.
Secretary McAdoo will appear to-
day before the ways and means COM
mittee to explain further the details
OF the bill.
The secretary explained that he
plans TO issue third liberty bonds in
denominations of $50, 500, $500
and $1,000, as in the first and second
loans, and that terms of payment in
installments will be, substantially
the same as in the past.
