VARIED ADVICE
GIVEN BY GOVT
TO REPATRIATES

Washington, April 1.-Interesting
side lights on present day conditions
in Belgium are given in an official
! bulletin issued here, containing ad-
vice of repatriates and others going
to Belgium.
'The first commodity you must alb
solutely take with you," says the bull
letin, is patience and no small
, quantity, either. Life is by no means
easy and cannot be easy till later,
when the reconstruction of Belgium
has actually begun.
"Since there is at present no wool
or cotton nor garments of any kind,
nor shoes except at fabulous prices,
be careful to renew your wardrobe
and to provide yourself with enough
wool for your bedding.
Ladies, do not forget-this is a
carry thread, needles and pins. Also,
since paper has reached an eXtraor-
dinary value in Belgium, be sure to
take boxes of writing paper, pens,
ink and as much ordinary paper as
your trunks will hold. You will find
you have saved about one hundred
per cent on your stock.
"As far as food and provisions
are concerned, do not hesitate
provide yourselves with as much
sugar as you can get. There are
some suburbs in Brussels where no
sugar has been distributed for six
weeks. AS for butter, it has disap-
peared since the government brought
the price down to $50 francs (S1.70).
The farmers prefer to sell milk rath-
er than to save it for butter and as
consequence not a single pound is
displayed in the shop windows. Mar
garine does not even exist any more,
so bring soem of each.
Though Brazil sends US coffee, it
still costs ten francs (S2.00l a kilo.
There is no cocoa left at all, nor
candy nor preserves, etc; Hams are

HOW TO BUY
LIBERTY BONDS

Chairman Henry S. Mckee of the
State Central Liberty Loan commit
tee gives the following details on the
coming Loan bonds:
"There is a great deal of inquiry
about the terms on which the Treas
ury Department will issue the Fifth
government war loan, to be known
as the "Victory Loan"
1t is fairly well determined that
the loan will be about the same
amount as the Fourth Liberty loan.
1t will be of short maturity, falling
due within a few years. 1t will be
offered to the public during a selling
campaign from April II to May 10.
SUBSCRIBERS will probably be given
longer time than heretofore in
which to make their payments. The
rate of interest and the extent of
tax exemption will not be announced
until shortly before the opening of
the campaign, but in determining
these the Treasury has access to the
most highly trained financial judg-
ment in America, as well as to pub
lie opinion, and it is consulting both.
The interest rate and tax features
must be determined with the great
est care. To make them too low
would be to court a failure of the
loan. To make them too high would
be to very injuriously depreciate the
market for all other investments.
They ought to be high enough to
make it reasonably certain that the
bonds will be maintained at par in
the open market. OF course nobody
is so vitally interested in the success
of the loan as the Treasury Depart
ment itself. Manifestly then it will
make the terms Of the bonds inviting

MORCETHAU DENIES POLISH
 STATEMENT

Washington, Aug. S.-Henry Nor. ranthau head of the American Com missfon sent to Poland to investigate the situation, has set this cablegram to the State Department from War saw:
 MT. Morgenthau, having just read n statement issued by the Polish Tele- graph Agency on July 2s that he stat ed in an interview with newspaper correspondents that fin the short time he had been in Poland he hao con vinced himself that all the so-cailed porroms of the Jews are incredibly exagrerated,' desires to state that he never made such a statement
 .swe had not on July 2S commenced fnveatigation of the pogroms. We, general Jadwin and myself had de- voted ~iosJ of our time In Ee..Sax t- ~.,5taining general impressions of peo- Sie of the existing differences regard ing economic boycott and the general economic conditions. and worked to- ward creating q better feeling among the parties.
 We left Warsaw on the night of July 27 to investigate at first hand and by direct examination witnesses and inspection of places where crimes were alleged to have been committed and the documentary evidence collect ed by the various committees at these places so as to enable us to form an opinion on tho subject. We shall not bo able to give even an intimation as to what our opinion will be until we have completed the visits we intend to make. We have already visited sokolko, 0rodno, and Lida, and arc now at vitna, where we expect to apcnd three to four more days. We shall visit Baronovitch, Brest-IitovslS. I,insk Locz. Cracow, Lemburg and Chenitokhovo.
 We believe that we have heard less than one-third of tho testimony that we intend to listen to before sub mitting 1t all to the Polish Govern ment for their answer. and shall not begin to form an opinion until the Polish Government has had an oppor- tunity to answer. Then General Jad- win. MT. Homer Johnson. and myself will calmly sit as long as it is neces- sary and weigh the facts obtained be- fore arriving at final conclusions. As one of the most important questions involved Is that of whether any ex- aggeration has been indulged in by the Jews. Mfr. Morgenthau says that this would be the very last question that he should express an opinion upon until the case has been properly heard.
 ''The published statement also says. che admitted that the Jews sometimes forget that equality of right called for equality of dutics.' MT. Morgen- thau would like to know'how he could admit the Jews. meaning the Polish Jews. sometimes forgot that equality of rights called for equality of duties when the Polish Jews have not yet had equality of rights.
