LIBERTY CHORUSES BIG AID
of the Foreign Born
Helps Boost the Fourth
Loan.

There is marked difference in the
third and fourth Liberty loans in the
amalgamation of foreign-born citizens
with those Of native birth.
"Since the third loan we have come
to know each other better and to ap-
preciate the contributions each makes
toward the new democracy which Is
the Outgrowth of the war;" said Mrs.
Constantine Howard Of tie Foreign
Language division.
The Liberty chorus Of more than 100
voices-representing 80 nationalities-
organized under her leadership, is one
of the great features of the present
campaign.
I'm the previous campaigns the for
eign-bOrn workers limited their efforts
largely to awakening an interest in
bond investment among their own ma
tionalities. Now" continued Mrs.
Howard, they are selling the bonds to
us, but owing to difference I'm organ
iZation the amounts subscribed to the
fourth loan by the various nationali-
ties will not average so much in reality
as they have done heretofore.
"Their enthusiasm has awakened an
understanding Of the real purpose Of
the war both among their own peo-
Piles and among nativc-born Americans.
Those who came here seeking freedom
from oppression have taught us by
their enthusiasm to value ever more
highly that liberty Of which we once
sung perhaps more with our lips than
our hearts.
1.-THE ever increasing demands for
the appearance of the Liberty chorus
In Chicago and throughout the district
at patriotic events is the best proof Of
the responsive chord which our for
eign-born peoples have evoked In
American consciousness.
Through the Liberty loan and the
need for universal sacrifice for n COM
mon cause has come wealth of civic
betterment, as well as the necessary
funds to carry on the fight for world
wide liberty. We are being welded
into united peoples through sacrifice.
The gold stars which dot the service
f1ags all over the natiOn-the lending
of every available dollar has united us.
what is your community doing to
stimulate this social consciousness in.
to active patriotic expression? If you
are allowing line to remain between
fOreign-born and native Americans the
true message of the Liberty loan is
not reaching the inner consciousness
Of your community.
"This work of Americanization will
go on when the immediate need for
raising funds to fight the war to a
finish has passed. Nothing can be
more inspiring or hopeful for a correat-
ed community life than the entire OBJ
liberation of racial differences which
had its beginning during the third loan.

months around Reims, found a glori-
Gus death at the head of division"
General Stirn, named to command
the same division at the head of which
General BarbOt fell, was in turn killed
the day after he had taken command.
He is cited:
"Officer of great merit and Of re-
markabe intelligence and vigor;
killed at his post of command the day
after he had been named leader Of the

Gen. Louis Delarue, divisional COM
mander, who had served long enough
to be passed in the reserve, is cited:

line, notably in the battles Of the
Ourcq, the Aisne and Champagne;
triotic ardor which famed within him
fell gloriously after he had gone to the
trenches Of the first line to assure the

Under Violent Fire.
Gen. Charles Sibille's death Is told
as follows:
Contributed to the success Of the
Battle Of Rozelieures in usefully d.

giving all the example of courage and
sangfroid; killed before Seicheprey at
the moment he was moving forward,
with his staff, under violent fire, to ex-
anime the position of st. Baysant,
which he had received orders to at

Gen. J. B. Albert Moussy, command

attack, throwing the enemy back and
regaining, at the head Of his forces,
some trenches momentarily lost"
General des Vallieres, commander Of
q division recently engaged, is cited:
Charged in August, 1917, with jiis
division to execute a difficult attack,
he executed 1t well and conquered his
detectives. In the course Of recent
fighting, attacked by very superior
forces and surrounded on one Of his
TANKS, he held well and repulsed all
attacks, going to the scene in full bat
tie, cO-ordinating the action of troops
engaged and exalting the courage of
all and their confidence by his pres
ence and his personal action"
Much space might be filed with SIM
liar citations of not only generals, but
those Of the lesser Poilu leaders. But
the foregoing serve to amply illustrate
why the word "Poilu" stands also for
bravery.

we needn't hold absOlutely-we might
yield temporarily, go back little, re-
treat here and there.
Well, we couldn't see the use of not
holding q position we were to hold.
We didn't want to go back Wien we
were supposed to go forward. The
Stars and Stripes look best at the head
of the parade, anyway. And so the
others had to do the falling back. We
went right ahead-strategy or no STRAIT
egy-and we took the objective. We
gave all we had; we put 100 per cent
of our best into it. We stopped the
Germans right away-all at once.
Now l have an idea that the way to
put over Fourth Liberty Loan drives
is just that. If we have q six billion
dollar loan to put over in few days
there is just one thing to do: Put 1t
over from the jump. What's the good
of strategic stalling and postponing7
Let's go to the objective without stop
ping for breath. Do it as we won out
at Chateau Thierry Hit hard, keep
going, and never slow up until the OBJ
jective is attained.

BUDGET YOUR BOND BUYING
BY MISS GRACE DIXON,
Federal Reserve Director for Women
Seventh District.

seventh District.
Budget your bonds. Include payments
on Fourth Liberty Loan bonds with the
meat and groceries-as essentials Of
everyday life. Surely Government in
surance Is as necessary an investment
as fire or life insurance, which are
included in the regular expenses of the
household.
IF you have never tried budget,
start NOW. Sit down and figure what
must be set aside for actual necess-
ties. for recreation, charity, or as a
sinking fund. Ask yourself whether
the amount is adequate.
Then inventory the amount Of bonds
you are now carrying. Ask yourself
whether that amount Is adequate In
comparison with your table or the sum
you spend for amusement.
See il you cannot Increase your sub
scription before the close Of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign. A first pay
ment now-even If made at a sacri-
fce-will give you courage to meet flu
ture payments.
Place your bond payments at the be-
ginning-not the end-of your budget
They are the greatest investment In
the world for you, yourself, for your
future success and your peace Of mind

GILLETT kSSAILS
WAR POLITICS OF
HOUSE DEMOCRATS
CONTRASTS ACTS OF MAJORITY
WITH THOSE OF THE RE-
PUBLICAN MINORITY.

Washington-Rep. Gillett of Massa-
chusetts, acting Republican leader, in
a speech in the house, attacked the
war record of the Democratic major
ity, contrasting with it that of the Re-
publican minority. He said the cleo
ton of a Republican house this year
would bring no encouragement to the
kaiser, "for he knows who have been
his fiercest foes and who he had most
reason to fear"
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Chairman Dent, Of the
house military committee, were
singled out for comment on their at
titude and activities, and Chairman
Ferris, of the Democratic congression-
al campaign committee, was accused
of unfair criticism Of the Republican
record for campaign purposes.
Would the support of tho war have
been any less vigorous IL Republi-
can had been speaker instead of our
honored Champ Clark, who opposed
the declaration Of war and went out
of his way to defeat the draft?" asked
Mr.. Gillett.
AssaIls kitchin and Dent.
Would the sinews of war have been
any less amply or more sectionally
provided IL Republican had been at
the head of the ways and means COM
mittee instead of Mr.. Kitchin, who
also voted against the war and against
ha Ia
islation have been retarded any moro
II at that moment a Republican had
been chairman of the military COM
mittee instead of Mr.. Dent, from
whose hands the administration pro-
gram OF the draft had to be taken
and carried through Republican?
And so might proceed with the 9TH
er committees"
Mr.. Gillett said he believed Mr..
Ferris was the first to stain the col
umns of the record with a partisan
tinge from which they had so long
been free" He added that the speech
was intended as a campaign docu-
ment like others for distribution un-
der Mr.. Ferris frank.
q. o. p. for Preparedness.
Referring to preparedness, Mr..
Gillett asserted that during the If
teen years before this war 1t was the
main body Of the Republican party
and it's leaders which vigorously ia
vored preparation and 1t was the main
body of the Democratic party and its
leaders which denounced and defeated
It,"
The statement of the National Sc
curity league selecting eight meas
ures of the last two congresses which
II regarded most vital to the war was
pointed to by Mr.. Gillett as showing
that seven men voted wrong on all
eight measures. "Of these seven"
he said, six were Democrats and one
Republican. Forty-seven men voted
right on all eight measures and of
them four were Democrats and forty
three were Republicans"
The next congress, Mr.. Gillett con-
cluded, will have to face the post war
problems and because Of industrial
centers being In the northern states
he argued a Republican congress
could better solve these than a Demo-
cratic house composed Of many south
ern members.

Indians Secret Of Hair Growth

In vast number of cases. when hair
falls out, the roots are not dead, but remain
imbedded in the scalp, alive, like seeds or
bulbs, needing only fertility. The usual
alkaline shampoos, alcoholized hair tonics,
ETC., are of no avail in such cases. The
Indians ointment nourisLes the hair and
stimulates the growth.
Kotalko fertilizes the SCALP and induces
hair growth in every case possible; WON
derful results reported. For meH's, scomen's
aud ehildreTs hair. il you are bald, OF
losing hair, or have dandruiI. you should
try kotalko. 1t is q pleasure TO observe
the starting of new hair and its steady
increase until a prolific growth supersedcs
thin hair or badness. Cut out this notice,
show to others who want beautiful hair.
The recipe is free. This is genuine.

TO RAISE OBJECTION

London, Dec. 3.-Demand will be

The views of the French and Italian
governments are in full accord with
the British government on the sub
ject and President Wilson has also
made suggestions as to the proceed

that Holland will not be disposed to
put any obstacle In the way. She
will not be asked to deliver the body
of William Hohenzollern under the
regular extradition laws of that
country but that his case will be pre-
sented as a pirate or a slave trader

REGULAR ARMY
HALF MILLION
Is the Tentative Proposal Now
For Future American
Forces. Navy
WILL BE HUGE A AFFAIR

Washington, Dec. 3.-A regular
army of approximately hal million
men is provided Tor specifically in
estimates submitted to Congress
yesterday for the fiscal year 1920,
beginning next July l. Detailed
items on the pay of the army show
that in the total of 1922 100000
asked for exclusive of the fortiflca
tion estimates, provision is made for
the payment of only 21,259 officers
and 3S2,667 men G: the line and ap-
proximately 10000 non-combat-
ant troops with the requisite staff
officers.
The inclusion in the estimates,
however, of five items of pay with
nominal appropriation of 800, each
asked shows that the whole question
of the strength of the army after the
conclusion of peace has been declar-
ed and that supplemental estimates
are to be expected under these head
ings when it is possible to present a
completed project. The items thus
held in suspension are those provid-
ing for the pay of reserve and ma
tional guard officers and men.

MUCH WORK
BEFORE congress
Will Probably Look After Rail-
roads, War Revenue and
Appropriations
WHILE PRESIDENT AWAY
WHILE PRESIDENT AWAY

Washington, Dec. 3.-The Sixty
fifth Congress began it's third and
final session yesterday with many
important matters before it. These
include solution of the railroad
problem, the army and navy pro-
gram, reconstruction legislation, re-
trenchment in government expendi-
lures, war revenue legislation, wo-
man suffrage and the Colombian
treaty.
In view of President Wilson's
statement in his annual address to
Congress yesterday that he does not
expect conclusion of peace until
spring, leaders last night expressed
doubt whether the present Senate,
which expires by limitation newt
March 3, would be cailed upon to
act on the peace treaty.
Chairman Hitchcock Of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
said he expected several treaties
would result from the Paris confer
ence--a general treaty ending the
war, but with specific separate trea-
ties dealing with important matters
like freedom Of tn seas and league
Of nations.
While the peace negotiations are
proceeding, extended debate in the
Senate on all phases OF the questions
involved Is expected by leaders.
Many members Ct both Senate and
House do not believe all of the bus
mess now before Congress can be
transacted before the session ends
March 3. If such should prove the
case they expect a special session Of
the Sixty-sixth Congress will be call
ed by the President. The Republ-
cans will have majority in both
Houses of that Congress.
The first genera. legislation to
up at this session will be the
revenue bill, which the Senate FL
nance Committee plans to report
Thursday Republican members de-
cided to file minority report oppos-
Ing the plan to fix 1920 taxes and
fight In the Senate and House which
many members believe will prevent
passage of the measure in its pres
ent form is forecast.
Work on the major appropriation
bills including the navy measure, al
'eady is under way in committees.
Immediate steps are planned by
Senate and House leaders to deal
With railroad legislation, probably

,licated subject.
