SCARCELY ANY SIGN THAT GREECE WAS
IN GREAT WORLD CONFLICT; ATHENS Is
UNFRAMED BY BATTLE MARKS TODAY

(Note-The subjoined letter from
Athens was written by staff cor
respondent of the Associated Press
who went to Greece after the sign
ing of the armistice and who has
filed several stories by cable tell
ing Of the great sufferings and NUM-
erous deaths among the 100000 or
more Greeks deported from Mace
donia by BuIgarians during the war
and the problems presented to the
Greek government in providing for
them now that they are returning
to Greece.
Athens.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-Few large cities
of the country that were engaged
in the war have been less affected
by it than the ancient capital Of
Greece. Free entirely from the
menace of air raids and hostile
bombardment, and participating &C
lively in the war for comparatively
only a short time, Athens is today
in all essential features exactly as
it was in pre-war days.
There is scarcely any outward
sign that the country ever was in
the great world conflict. During
the entire progress of the war, all
the stores, theatres, cafes, museums
and places of amusement in the
Greek metropolis were doing bust
ness as usual and the Inhabitants
felt only remotely the effects OF
the war. Prices of food and cloth
ing were much higher than in peace
times bat the people suffered from
no such scarcity of these and other
necessaries of life as did the popu-
lations OF London, Paris and other
continental cities.
The tourist, who at one time was
one OF the most abundant sources
of revenue, however, disappeared
entirely during the war
The passing years appear on the
whole TO have made little change
in the Athenian capital. II the WIS.,
itor who knew Athens well In days
long ago could pay another pilgrim
age to the historic city, he would
see still the same quaint sights
that have always made Athens ap-
pear to the foreigner rustic and IN
sophisticated, IN the midst OF all its
cosmopolitanism. He would see a

NO AGREEMENT ON
SUGAR PURCHASES

San Juan, p. R-Although the
sugar season is now well under
way, more than 5000 tons of new
sugar having been forwarded to
the refileries, no definite agree
ment has been reached for the pur-
chase of island sugar by the re-
fiueries. All sales that have been
made so far have been on the ba-
sis of s7.28 New York city, which
price is based on that Of the agree
ment with the Cuban sugar plant
ers.
The Sugar Producers assoc alton,
however, is working for definite
contract providing for the purchase
of the entire crop at SIPS. Ship
ments of sugar are expected to in
crease from now on.

OUTLINES WHAT
FUNDS ARE FOR
Fifth Loan Money to Be Paid for
the Saving Of 100000 Ameri-
cans, Speaker Tells

when the American people, in
the Victory Liberty loan next
spring, raise billions of dollars to
pay for munitions that never
reached the firing line in France,
they will not in reality be paying
for those munitions, but for the
saving of 200, 900 American lives.
at was not the American army
in France that forced defeat upon
Germany in 1918; it was the enor-
nous production of munitions in
this country that the German gen.
eral staff knew would soon be flow
ing into action at the front and
which would make victory impos-
sible for the kaiser. Had it not
been for this knowledge the Ger
mans would have fought through
1919"
These statements were made by
Lewis B. Franklin, head of the
Liberty loan organization at Wash
ington, at a big rally of Liberty
loan officials of the Seventh fed
eral reserve district, held in Chi
cago recently, as a preliminary to
the fifth loan campaign which is
scheduled, according to latest ad
vices, for April.
Our expenditures for Decem-
ber," said Mr.. Franklin, were the
largest on record, being $4,000, 000,-
600, a sum almost double the total
annual expenditure of our govern
ment in pre-war times. Many peo-
pie will call that paying for dead
horse True, only one battery of
American made artillery ever
reached France. Practically none
OF our tanks got into action. But
on the way was a stream of artil-
lery and shells that would have
blown the German army off the
earth; we were beginning to de-
liver mustard gas ten times as fast
as the Germans could make it, and
our program of tanks called for
one tank to every seventy-five feet
of front.
do we realize that the German
army was never really routed ?
That to the last it was fighting on
foreign soil? 1t was only the
knowledge of this great stream of
munitions on the way that ended
the war in 1918 instead Of 1919, and
saved the lives Of from 100000 to
100000 American boys"
Mr.. Franklin said the Seventh
federal reserve district had achiev-
ed a more general distribution Of
bonds than any of the other dis
tricts.
I'm the fourth loan" he said,
you sold $50 of your bonds to
purchasers of $1,000 or less as
against a ratio Of 1919 for the
whole nation. I have had a good
many suggestions that this loan
ought to be taken by the large
banking interests and by the men
of great wealth; that we should
make no appeals to the common
people; that they ought not to be
called upon again. We might re-
mind those people that this money
is for war expenses and if this was
not a peoples war, I should like to
know whose war 1t was. It was
war for the freedom Of the world,
with the people of America vigor-
ously back of 1t. And do not be-
lieve they want to be deprived of a
chance to see it through from the
financial side"

Other cities change with times,

PRODUCTION OF FALL COLTS

prepared by the United States DEPART

Since the production of fall colts
seems to be gaining favor in many
horse-producing sections, as we'll as
in some sections where the production
of horses has been previously neg
lected, it is desirable that these young
sters be accorded every chance to be-
gin the winter season in the best pos
sible conditions. Although they avoid
the fly evil, they are exposed to ex-
tremely cold weather and Of necessity
must be maintained in stables most
of the time until the following grass

Joint-ill, germ disease, which
causes the deaths Of hundreds of new
born foals, should be controlled by
legation or binding of the unbilical
cord as soon as possible after birth
and the subsequent swabbing of the
small portion of the cord left pendant
in a 1900 solution of corrosive SUBJ
Innate. The filth germs which cause
the disease enter the body by means
of the umbilical cord unless such pre-
cautions are taken. A piece of sur
geOn's silk should be bound around
the cord as close to the body of the
animal as possible. Then the sub
Innate solution should be applied to
the pendulous portion of the cord
twice daily until it drops off. The
colt should be born in a well-lighted

When the fat years return, and, rich
and free,
You half forget, as men have ever
done,
The price once paid for your security,
Thinking too much of fortune lost or
won,
Too much of pride and laughter, food
and ease,
Or of some public favor cheaply
earned,
Oh, then turn back the page and think
of these
Who gave their bodies for freedom
to be burned
For these lived, too; they, too, loved
ease and laughter,
Sunlight, the green earth. All that
you still keep
They had, and more-vision. If you
come after
And dare forget them, buried so
young, so deep,
And dare forget this faith for which
they stood

and prosperity. 1t means that the
market price Of government bonds
will soon stabilize at par or better.
1t also means that commercial, agri-
cultural, and industrial affairs will
stabilize, and that the Hun-inspired
clamor will cease.
We were advised that the war
would last through 1919, probably
through 1920, so we were prepared
for that; to have done less would
have been suicide. We prepared to
crush the Hun on his own ground,
and he prudently quit, 1t cost us
some money but it saved the lives of
half million of our men. Was
money ever better spent?
Now we have bills to pay, prom
ises to make good, our men to bring
home. This will take from five to
six billion dollars. Let us get ready
and raise it. A big task, but the
last, and therefore easy. All to-
gether, shoulder to shoulder, and
the loan goes over!
