when They Come Back
II will be most interesting TO see
what happens when the boys over
seas come back. As Riley Wilson
puts il. They'll want to know some
thing, and, by the fires O the Deep
they already know the answer.
Judging wholly from an American
viewpoint, Il has been the little Fellow
who has offered his all, not the DIG
fellow. 1t has been the mediocre
boxer who has enlisted. the seeona
rate boxer who has offered to do What
he could. Only here and there nave
the real ones come across.
II has been the socalled fresh

STRIKE PREVAILS
AMONG DESERTERS
THOUSANDS OF DESERTERS
FROM CENTRAL EMPIRES
WILL NOT WORK

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND. FEB.
IL Correspondence of The Asso-
ciated Press):- A strike of desert
ers" has been in progress here for
some weeks The twtlve to thirteen
thousand deserters. mostly from the
central empires, who have taken re-
fuge in Switzerland are as rebellious
to service in he field and the fac
tory as they are in the front line
trenches, and most OF them refuse
to work
Until recently every deserter who
could find his way across the from
tier into Switzerland was given shell
ter with no other condition than that
he pay his taxes and observe the
law. The number continually in
creased and on the occasion of the
riots in Zurich ;he Federal authorit-
les discovered that there were too
many of these deserters among the
leaders of the disorder. 1t was then
decided TO order a civil mobilization
thai would enable the government
to round up all unoccupied forcing
ners and set then, to work.
The strike of the deserters follow
ed this mobilization. The deserters
pretended to the right of asylum in
the country without the obligation to
work. They were supported by a
certain element of the Swiss Socia-
list party with maximalist tenden.
cies.
1--WE came here to escape servi-
tude" the deserters said I'VE reject
all obligations CT service, military
or civil; we will obey no order and
we summon the socialist party of
Switzerland to sustain us immedi-
ately."
The socialist party of Switzerland
met at Often in general convention
and, though sustaining the strikers
in a platonic way, invited them to
go back to work. Thereupon the de.
serters and the extremists of the
socialist party organized sort OF
soviet in Zurich
Socialist members of the Federal
Council are endeavoring to get the
government to annul the civil mobi
lization decree but public opinion
in vast majority is stoutly opposed
to any concessions to the deserters.

MAY CIVE4l-2PER
CENT ON THE THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN
OF ISSUE TO BE DEFl-
NlTELY FIXED AT CONFER
ENCE TODAY.

Washington, Mar. 21.-The size, in
telest rate and other features of the
third Liberty Loan, which is to open
April 6, depends largely on the result
of conference here tomorrow be-
tween Secretary McAdoo, governors
of the twelve federal reserve banks
and chairmen of number of Liberty
Loan campaign committees. These
bankers and business men will bring
to the secretary their views of money
conditions throughout the country and
of how many billions of bonds the ma
ton can absorb.
1t was stated today Secretary Nc
Adoo has decided tentatively the size
of the loan. but wishes to havea final
consultation with men outside of Off
cial Washington before sending his
recommendation to congress. He is
represented as even more anxious for
the opinion of these men on the inter
est rate, in view of some difference of
opinion among treasury advisers as to
whether the rate should remain at 4
per cent as on the last loan, or be rails
ed to Az per cent.
One phase of the subject to be given
special consideration tomorrow is the
uncertainty over the amount of reven
lie to be derived from the income and
| excess profits taxes. Many officials be
lieve that the actual money harvest
will be greater than the $2,427 900 900
estimated. There is no way of deter
mining definitely the revenue yield,
however until the Liberty Loan cam.
paign is well under way.
For this reason, some treasury off.
! cials have been inclined to urge loan
of only enough to carry the govern
ment to the end of the fiscal year.
June S0-in the neighborhood of $5.-
600 100000 or even less-leaving war
expenses of the first part of next fis-
cal year TO be met by new bond issue
and by June 30 the effect of the war
finance corporations activities on the
money market might be determined
Organization and publicity prepare
tions for the next loan campaign are
going forward rapidly.
