would appear from the statement of tho
floating debt lately submitted by the
Ministry to the Legislature that the

Liberty Taxable Issues Higher

With the exception of the 3la per
cent non-taxable issue, Liberty bonds
continued to advance yesterday and
their closing prices showed substantial
gains over those of the last sales of
the week preceding. The favorable war
news, bringing the prospect Of peace
nearer, was probably responsible for
The strength in the taxable loans, while
the same reason was advanced to ac-
count for the weakness in the 3 Us.
The latter closed yesterday at 100.16,
compared with 10042 week ago, while
the later issues showed gains of more
than point for the same period.

A Reciprocal Arrangement

Foreign exchange bankers expect that
approximately S6O,0oo,OOO will be made
available here to finance Italy's pur-
oh lses Of cotton from this years crop.
The arrangement by which payment for
the staple will be transferred from
London to New York will be similar
to that already in effect covering
French purchases of American cotton.
In other words, it will be reciprocal
agreement by which the United States
will furnish dollars and Italy lire which
this country may use in paying for
goods bought in Italy. This, it is be-
lieved, will have the effect of further
simplifying the exchange problem be-
tween Rome and New York.

Connolly was called in the November

a tailor shop. He was assigned to the
Elfteenth Company OF the 153d Depot
Brigade. Soon after getting his uni
1orm, however, he left camp, returned

pendents:
The board, unconscious Of the fact
mat it already had sent Connolly to
camp, granted the exemption, but i'm
medately rescinded action when the
members learned that he had been in
service.
Connolly was apprehended and
brought back to camp. There was much
comment over the fact that he had
claimed he was citizen of the Irish
Republic" and not subject to the draft.
The. charge on which he was tried and
found guilty by the court martial, how
ever, was that he refused to obey a
