subscription of 80 per cent above the
So, 000, 900, 900 minimum sought. The
number of subscribers was about II.

In announcing these figures the
treasury department explained that
the total may be changed slightly by
later reports.
The feat of the Atlanta district was
the topic of favorable comment about
the treasury. Throughout nearly all
of the four weeks campaign the dis
trict stood at the bottom, owing to the
hardness Of banks to report subscrip-
tions and Of subscribers to place their
pledges on record by payment of the
first 5 per cent installment.
"This is the most successful loan
the United States has offered, both in
number of subscribers and in the
amount realized" Secretary McAdoo
announced. Every subscription was
made with the full knowledge that the
allotment In full was to be expected,
unlike the first loan, when allotments
were limited to one-half the over-sub
scriptions. l congratulate the country
on this wonderful result, which is IT.

AND CHINA
JOIN IN ALLIANCE
FOR PROTECTION OF INTEREST
AGAINST GERMAN AGGREs-
SION IN THE FAR EAST.
DID NOT CONSULT ENTENTE
Tho Reason for This Step Not Known
Without Il Is Fear Of Continoen-
cies Which Are Said 10 Be
hIlSino in Siberia.

Washington.-China and Japan have
banded together in a defensive agree
ment to protect themselves against
German aggression in Siberia.
This information reached the State
Department In a c%ablegram from The
American minister at Picking, but the
message failed TO more than cast 6
meager light on the full significance o.
this union.
Whether It would permit Of a Japan
ese-Chlnese Intervention in Siberia Ii
in doubt, but It appeared significant
that. as far as the State Department
knew, the arrangement had been con
cluded without consulting the allies.
Some thought It would allow a joint
expedition into Siberia, but If 1t doet
contemplate such action 1t would ap
parcntly be contrary to the American
position. which it was said still re-
mains the same-withholding approve
of any japanese Intervention there.
The reason for this new step Is un
known here. Nothing has come recent
" to show that the situation immedi
ately demands a defensive alliance
and 1t was suggested that this wat
based upon a fear Of contingencies 10
Siberia, rather than upon any actuai
immediate need for action.
1t seemed likely that the agreement
is a result of the fact that Russia now
appears 10 be incapable Of resisting
Germany successfully, though she Is
manifesting n spirit Of opposition tC
the ruthless Teuton violations against
the Brest treaty. This Russian weak
ness has caused uprisings in Siberia
e%ndangering the border.
The fact that the entente had not
been consulted seemed strange &c
some observers, though this perhaps
was based upon the fact that the ar
rangement Is defensive rather than OF
fensive, and may contemplate only In
ternal or border protection.
The possibility that the union would
develop into active intervention how
ever was foreseen. Authorities could
not explain the seeming discrepancy
between the statement as to the agree
ment and press reports from Paris
saying the entente had arranged for
some military cooperation with re
spect to Siberia.
The entente press has repeatedly
warned lately that the Russian prob
lem required active consideration and
that the only way to remedy 1t would
be through Japanese aid.
Japan has declared she would not in
tervene in Siberia without further
consultation with the allies. In view
of this pledge It may be that though
the State Department does not know 1t
the allies have approved the defensive
| agreement in view Of the Cossack &C
| ~tivities in Siberia.
The treaty against Manchuria is con.
sistent in view of the internal action
OF the anti-Soviet forces, and this evil

You Must Sell Yourself
by BertOn Bradley

Life is selling problem" that is all;
And every man is his own line Of goods;
And what the price is, big or very small,
Is simply up to him. For though the woods
Are full of buyers for his sort O. stock
Hes got to learn the way to sell himself
Or he'll discover with cruel shock,
That he's a marked down remnant on the shelf
So to begin with he must try to he
An article of value, sound and fair;
V0r If he isn't-take this straight from me-
He'll find the market sluggish everywhere.
But having worth, he must let buyers know
But having worth, he must let buyers know
He's got to learn to make his value show
So plainly that whoever runs may read.
That doesn't mean that he must boast and shout
His own high quality; but it does mean
That he must make it clear, beyond a doubt,
By pep and push that he is on the scene.
He mustn't miss chance to prove his worth
And make his merit patent to mems eyes;
The chaps who get the highest price on earth
2 Are those who have the go0ds-and advertise.
So watch your opportunities, and dwell
Upon the job your whole existence through,
Yourself is all the goods you have to sell
And what you get is wholly up to you!

New Ruling Not Likely
to Affect Prices Of
Local Flour Market

Federal food administration Of
ficials have removed the restrictions
on millers. These restrictions had
to do with the prices charged for
-four and mill feed. Such removal
had no immediate effect upon the
price of -four, but it resulted in all
immediate boost in the price OF
mill feed. Bran that Thursday was
retailing at SLIGO per 100 pounds,
shot up to $2.l0.
Millers are selling -four at the
same prices that maintained prior
to the removal of the restrictions
and the information they give is
that there is not likely to be any
advance. Their theory is that the
advance in the selling price of the
mill feed will take care of the ad-
vance in wheat prices that have al
ready started and give promise of
being maintained.
Several months ago, when the
government fixed the, prices on
wheat, on the Omaha market $2,18
was the maximum for No. hard
winter; $2.ls for No. 2 and $2ll for
No. 3. .- -
During the session of the grain
exchange, No. 1 sold at 1928, a
premium of 5 cents; No. 2. $2.2l, a
premium of 6 cents. and No. 8 at
$2.18, premium of cents a bushel.
Effect of increased prices of feed
may. in short time, bring a.fboost

ready steep butter prices.

MANY BIG GUNS
TURNED over TO
AMERICAN ARMY
War Materials Assembled al
Metternich by Germans
for Surrender Under
Terms Of ArmiStice..

American Army of Occupation,
Dec. 2l.-(By Associated Press.)-
The German authorities began yes
terday turning over to the Ameri-
can Third army large quantities OF
war material, which will require sew
eral trains to transport.
Included in the artillery given up
by the Germans are 700 guns OF
large caliber and nearly 5000 ma
chine guns. The other guns range
from 1905 to 2l0s.
Metternich, just outside OF Co.
blenz, is the assembling point for
this material. Some of it comes
from east of the Rhine. many Of
the guns having been sent into the
interior of Germany for repairs. as
the terms Of the armistice require
that all the artillery be turned over
in first-class condition.
Today American officers began
checking up the guns as they came
in. German officers especially as
signed for the final delivery of the
material assisted in the work and
received the receipts as fast as the
Americans inspected and accepted
the surrendered property. This is
the largest amount of artillery
turned over to the Americans under
the armistice and it is estimated
it will require a week to inspect
and receipt for the equipment.
