| In offering war savings stamps to
the public the United States govern
ment has made Immediately available
for every man, woman and child in the
country a profitable, simple and secure
investment
What They Are.
War savings stamps are the answer
of great democracy to the demand
for a democratic form of government
security They are little baby bonds,
Like Liberty bonds, they have behind
them the entire resources of the gov
eminent and people of the United
States. They have the additional ad-
vantage that they steadily increase in
value from the date of purchase until
the date of maturity, and this increase
is guaranteed by the government. The
stamps are issued in two denomina-
lions, the 25-cent stamp and the So
stamp.
For the convenience of investors a
thrift card is furnished to all purchas-
ers of 25-cent stamps. This card has
spaces for 16 stamps When all the
spaces have been filled the thrift card
may be exchanged for a s. stamp at
postofices, banks or other authorized
agencies by adding II cents in cash
prior to February /, 1918, and / cent
additional each month thereafter
Those who prefer may buy IS
stamp outright. These will be on sale
from December 3, 1917, until January
81, 1918, for SAFE They automatically
increase in value a cent month every
month thereafter until January l, 1928
when the United States will pay IS at
any postoffice or at the treasury in
Washington for each stamp affixed tc
a war savings certificate.
When you purchase a IS stamp, you
must attach it to an engraved folder
known as a war savings certificate
which bears the name of the purchas'
er and can be caShed only Dy tne per-
son whose name appears upon the GER
tificate, except in case of death or dis
ability. This certificate contains q
spaces. If these are all filled with wal
savings stamps between December 3
1917, and January 81, 1918, the cost tt
THE purchaser will be $S24O and or
January /, 1923, the government viii
pay the owner of the certificate 800
a net profit to the holder of $3.50. This
ia based on an interest rate of pei
cent compounded quarterly from Jan
nary 2, 1918. The amount of war say
ings stamps sold to any one person
any one time shall not exceed $l0'
(maturity value), and no person ma!
hold such stamps or war savings GER

BAKER MUST GO.

(CDlcdSO ITlDuneD
The president has written and de-
livered another great state paper-his
statement of our war aims, perhaps
the clearest and most convincing of all
utterances on that subject
On December 4, 1917, the president
had previously said to the congress OF
the United States, to the governments
of all nations, and to the peoples of the
world
"Our present and immediate task is
to win the war, and nothing shall turn
us aside from it until it is accomplish
ed Every power and resource we
possess, whether of men, of money, or
of materials, is being devoted, and will
continue to be devoted to that purpose
until it is achieved"
There remains but one course open
to the government of the United States
namely to see that every power
and resource we possess" is devoted
to the enforcement of our war aims
and to the winning of the war.
The Tribune believes that, as far as
the war department is concerned,
"every power and resource" is not now
being so devoted and that the full pow
er of this nations unsurpassed re-
sources will never be called forth UNI
der the summons of our present Sec
rotary of war
For the hundred per cent effort to-
ward the enforcement of our war aims
and for the consequent world wide
peace that such enforcement will bring
the Tribune suggests the resignation
of Newton Diehl Baker and the ap-
pointment of a successor whose ener-
gy, resourcefulness, and will to win
will make the full power of the United
States sooner effective.

THE MURDER SQUAD.
Good Reason for Allies Not Treating
With Leaders Of the Enemy.
lWashin gtnn Pnstl

II is neither pleasant reading nor
a subject to be discussed with enjoy
ment, but the repetition of German
atrocities demands a certain amount
of consideration.
This is because of the bearing OF
other matters upon certain order of
mentality. Peace filters are continual
ly going forth. The expectation Is
that they will have their effects in
time. The sheer insistence is of the
third degree order, calculated in this
instance to break down the will of the
righteous obdurate.
But the parallels may be established
to show the futility of hoping for any
dependable dealings with the con-
scienceless powers now in control Of
Germany. By the confessions of their
statesmen the submarine murders were
discontinued until they could be re-
newed on vaster scale. Under high
er Instructions Won Bernstorf plotted
murder and destruction while the ac-
cepted representative OF his country AT
the seat of government of a neutral
nation. With the United States work.
ing for peace at almost any price,
Zimmerman was planning its partition.
Farther down the scale was the
minor murder squad. Tetanus germs
were implanted in court plaster. While
the "all highest was giving forth his
blasphemous mouthings ground glass
was placed in foodstuffs and Red Cross
bandages were receiving smears of poi
son. Almost coincident with the
Christmas claims of the HohenZolern
of divine approval of his bloody work,
Germans were making explosives 10
resemble Jumps of coal, designed for
the bunkers of American vessels-all
nicely worked out by German genius
not only before this country entered
the war, but before the war began.
Now recently naturalized German
has been indicted for tampering with
naval torpedoes.
These murderers have been taught
by the kaiser that, if he gave the or
der, they were to shoot down father or
mother without question. Does not
this fasten the whole series of atroci-
ties on the kaiser and his advisers?
Are the underlings only to be blamed,
while the chiefs of the murder gangs
are to be dealt with in peace negotia-
tons?
When the appointed leaders of the
allied nations continue to refuse to
deal with the leaders of the enemy
there is good reason.

This Eliminates It.

When Count Luxburg, in the dis

able to do so at an early date. The
GROUPS included in the deal are the
sunshine, Toughnut Portland Parrot,
Idora, Tuscumbia and probably an
other group. Inasmuch as the Idora
company has outlined the general plan
Of consolidation for the benefit of its
stockholders, in the form of letter
from the secretary, c. E. Mallette, the
details as given from that source are
here reproduced:
To ldora Stockholders.

to ratification by the stockholders of
the respective companies.

which now has a capital of 100000
shares, is to increase it's capital to o.

into the treasury of the company. The
100000 shares are then to be divided
among the five companies mentioned
each leaving 100000 shares in the

pany.

lieved by the promoters of the PROPOSE
ton that the Consolidated stock can
be sold readily from so cents to rs

are willing to take $4,000 shares of
our stock at so cents a share shows
that they have confidence in their
ability to market it at this price.
Up to Stockholders.
at is useless for the Idora to at
tempt to work under existing condi-
tions, as mining charges have reached
such an exorbitant price that we can
not do so without a continued loss, but
we have debts that must be taken care I
of, and it is either a question of dis
posing of the property or continuing
assessments until all of these debts
are paid. For that reason it is the
opinion of your board of directors that
it is good policy to confirm the above
proposition. This will clean up our
Indebtedness entirely and give us
clear stock in strong company with
a big treasury behind it. Our mort
cages are both overdue and are sim
ply carried along by the holders, but,
of course, can be foreclosed at any
time.

Most Notable Events.

The events of first Importance in
the district in 1917 were the blowing
in of the No. | furnace of the Bunker
Hill lead smeltery, on July 5, and the
extension of the railroad tracks of the
O.-W. r. & n. company up Beaver
creek to serve the zinc lead silver
properties of Sunset Peak and sim
liar extension up Pine creek to serve
the zinc lead silver producers of the
Pine creek district. These new rail-
way facilities will greatly improve
operating conditions for these groups
of mines, and should result in a much
greater activity in the section served.
There are still a considerable number
OF undeveloped and unworked zinc
lead silver veins in both of these sec
tions, which should be operated in a
small way, now that dependable and
cheaper transportation is available. 1t
Is upon such developments that the
extension of the district and increase
of its production must depend in the
future. Another event of importance
was the launching of an all-steel
dredge by the Yukon Gold company
to work in the deep placers at Muir
