ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTERED BONDS

By an official order of the treasury, the assignment of
registered bonds heretofore made only before certain treasury
officials and the officers of certain courts and federal reserve
and national banks can now legally be made before officers of
Incorporated state banks and trust companies.
This will be a great relief to many holders of registered
bonds living in small towns and cities where there are no ma
tional banks or persons before whom The assignment could le-
galy be made.
Heretofore it has not been usual for a fee to be charged
for the assignment of bonds, and it is presumed that the newly
designated agencies will conform to the custom and make no
charge.

QUEBEC'S SECESSION

American newspapers have paid more attention to the reso-
introduced in the legislature of the province of Quebec, than to
the overwhelming victory of the Unionist government on the
conscription issue in the general Dominion elections. Talk of
secession in Quebec is mere camouf1age to cover an overfhelm-
ing defeat at the polls in the other provinces. The only way
Quebec can secede is to obtain a special act of the British parlia-
ment to repeal the British North America act which constitutes
the charter of the Dominion of Canada.
The imperial government at London has the power to grant
political autonomy to Quebec, but it is not likely to do so with
out the consent of the dominion government. Quebec is in the
position of a man who has quarreled with his family and threat
ems to leave his home, but has no place else to go. All the spe-
cal privileges French Canadians enjoy under the provisions of
the treaty with France when the French king ceded "a wilder
ness OF snow" to England would be lost by annexation to the
United States, so they will stick to the British connection and
play the game of politics which they know so well.-Exchange.
In Washington an attempt is being made to show that the

NO MERCY FOR TRAITORS

Americans need a jolt to make them realize that the Unit
ed States is at war" says a correspondent. Enemy aliens are
the ones that need the lesson first of all. Without prejudging
any particular case, the first spy or traitor convicted should
be shot or hanged by due process of law. Foreigners acquire
contempt for our laws and courts after a short sojourn in this
country and take chances that they would not venture any
where else. Bring the war home to the spies and traitors in
our midst, and we shall have less arson and sabotage. = Elk

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FAVORABLE

Cold weather and storms have checked business and rail
road operations. but the demand for merchandise is good and
retailers look for brisk clearance sales to make room for spring
goods. Farmers have more money than ever before and their
prosperity is Of the cumulative variety. Grain and livestock
have been very remunerative since the war broke out in Aug
ust, 1914, and cotton has come into its own. This insures good
business for the first half of the year and average crops will
keep the ball rolling after that-New York Commercial.

T la lamps for old he did moth
ing very wonderful. But
W. when humanity, sympa-
thizing with the misfor-
tunes OF others, replaces war-torn,
scared faces with new-when it hides
honorable designations gained in the
defense of hberty-then there is a
story worth while the telling.
This, then, is the story of "Old
Faces For New" 1t is a recital pa
thetic and pitiable; it is a tale of
mems glory and woman's devotion; it
is a song of sympathy and humanity
Of practical Christianity-of material
tied altruism.
Since time began wounds received in
battle were considered badges of hon
or. Men gloried in them; women adj
nired. But that was before the COM
ing of modern armament-of shell and
shrapnel-of mines and poison gas. In
those other, more humane days, scars
of battle wounds were considered sa-
cred. AS the late William Shakespeare
or was it Bacon ?-said: HE laughs
at scars who never felt a wound"
But things have changed since then.
Not that scars are not marks of re-
spect. but some mutilations are so re-
Sulsive as to evoke horror mixed with
pity. Wounds in the face and head
leave the ugliest marks. In the pres
ent war hundreds and thousands of
fine men have been torn and mutilated
until they scarce resemble human be-
ings. Photographs received in this
country show men with their lower
jaws shot away, with their lips torn
of, with half their face gone.
1t is these men who were a problem
for their fellow men. They-the mu-
tiles, as the French call them most
aptly-had the sympathy OF their
the grateful public. But
something more tangible than syrnra-
