HOLDING BONDS is THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Are Worth Is the Height
OF Folly.

Two things are true when Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value; another person is lucky in strik-
ing bargain one is chump, the
-other is fortunate.
You may argue the one is forced to
sell. Possibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount OF his in.
vested capital on his bond, or will show
him a way to get the highest possible
value.
The record Of the sale and purchase
Of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at considerably above par
in Marty every case.
II there is more decided example
Of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to
know of it.

Referring to the recent speech Of

"He has shown that the proposed
amendment, instead Of helping China,

States has exacted from Japan. He
has shown that Japan Is already In
possession Of the German rights, privi.
leges, and leaseholds. He has also
shown that Great Britain and France
are under pledge to japan to stand by

COMMAND HAVE POWER.

Washington commanders
must have the power TO bring sum
mary Justice to men who show ten
dency to quit their commands on the
eve Of battle. Major General John r.
O'Ryan, commanding the New York
national guard, declared before sem
ate military subcommittee considering
the Chamberlain bill proposing a gen.
eral revision Of the system of military
justice. Hope of reward, pride and
patriotism, he said, are among the
things that stimulate soldiers to cour'
age in battle, but under them will fol-
low any shirking of the hght.
General O'Ryan was member OF
the board headed by Major General
Herman Of the regular service which
has submitted report endorsed by
the war department proposing medih'
cations of the articles of war and the
court martial system, but disapprov'
ing the radical changes outlined In the
Chamberlain bill.
Under Interrogation by Senator
Chamberlain, author Of the bill, Gen
eral O'Ryan said he agreed that the
"meat of this thing" lay in the crea
ton of an appellate power somewhere
which could relieve soldiers Of tho
stigma OF conviction II that appeared
for the fair thing to do, instead Of
leaving 1t at present, a question fol

away the punishment but not the con

An Absurd and Futile Proposal


If the Senate as a whole does not
repudiate the action Of its Foreign
Relations Committee on the Shan
tung issue, it will not only exceed
its constitutional powers, but will
stand committed to a decision which
it cannot possibly enforce. The delib-
crate insult to Japan, whose good
faith the COMMITTEES imLcaches Is,
perhaps, the least important phase
of the situation rs it now impcnds.
The Japanese government, wnich he
pledged itself to restore Chinese SOW
ereignty in Shantung, may well at
tribute hostile attitude on the part
of the Senate to political motives,
and therefore ignore it entirely. The
European governments which assent
ed to the Shantung arrangement,
would doubtless take similar
course. Japan would remain in pos.
session of Shantung, and the Senate
would have on its hands rewritten
treaty not worth the paper and ink
used in its construction.
If the Senate Republicans do not
like the Shantung settlement they
can say so in a resolution withhold
ing assent. That policy might be of
no value to China, but at least it
would not put the United States in
the position of attempting to reverse
the terms Of a treaty provision
adopted by the Peace Conference.
What the majority of the Foreign
Relations Committee proposes to do
is to write an entirely new section in
to the treaty, regardless Of the fact
that the purpose therein embodied
cannot be made effective short of a
declaration Of war against japan.
Was there ever more absurd OF
futile proposal than this? The very
suggestion of it reveals the depths
of folly and obstinacy to which the
Republican partisans are willing to
descend in their effort to destroy the
work of the Peace Conference, tc
hamstring the Administration and tt
create issues for the next Presiden
tial campaign.-Brooklyn Eagle.
