Editorial Opinion
AMERICAN BUYERS or FRENCH
GOVERNMENT LOTTERY BONDS
From the New York sun.

From the New York sun.
French Government nnanoiers now
have under consideration a plan to
raise Si2OOOO0O.0OO by the issue of lot
terry bonds bearing no interest, but en-
titling their owners TO share in the
proceeds OF frequent drawings. Ac-
cOrdlng 10 dispatches from Paris "i20-
000OOO OF coupons would be issued at
500 each and prize drawings would be
made For the nrst two years every
day would see some fortunate lndl-
vidual lie might be a Frenchman or
a foreigner and would receive S2jOOOO -
After two years the s250,OO0 prizes
would be drawn once every week.
That This plan is practicable the ex-
perience of numberless Governments
and other respectable Institutions
proves. In this country until recently
lotteries were held TO raise money for
such admirable purposes as building
churches and colleges, and many Amer
leans would unquestl0nably welcome
an opportunity TO buy a bond when
buying a bond meant buying chance
in an honest lottery.
But, should this plan be adopted, un-
less our laws are amended. Americans
who want to gamble under the aus
pices OF the French or any other gov
ernment will have TO do so clandes
timely or else quit the jurisdiction OF
Uncle Sam to accomplish their pur-
pose. Lotteries are prohibited by our
Federal statutes. The Constitution Of
New York State provides NOR sha.l
any lottery or the sale OF lottery tick
cts hereafter be authorized or allowed
within this state"
OF course Americans might 60 toI
Paris to buy a lottery bond, and prob
ably a good many OF them would.

RED GROSS WORK

Mrs. Baker Makes Appealing Address to Chapter Workers. Will Make Million Garments a Month.

Appealing to the large gathering of Red Cross workers to continue their work and live up to the slogan "a million garments @ month"; Mrs. M. F. Baker, head Of the Atlantic di- vision of the Red Cross, told many pathetic stories that visuaIized the absolute need of refugee garments overseas and spoke at length of the great and hearty appreciation the poor French of the devastated coUn- tries feel towards the Americans who have so nobIy assisted them in their crisis. Mrs. Baker spoke at the Strat- field hotel yesterday afternoon at 9 o'clock to all Red Cross workers in the city urging them to keep up the record and work as hard as possible until June 1.
 Although plenty of socks, sweaters and rnufflers have been set aside for the boys in the service, here and abroad. still the knitting has not been finished. The Bridgeport chapter and many others have the wools to be knitted into stockings for the chil- dreu, shawls for the women and sweaters of many sizes. The hospt- tals, too, need garments. The wound ed men need shirts and coverings and the appeal to the women will not be in vain, when their own wounded are concerned.

COMMANDER OF MILITARY FORGE
 AT BERLIN REPORTS TO COUNCIL
Hprries Gives Dramatic Account of Events in That City During Past Three MontIS-ThOusands of Rus
 Prisoners Want To Go Home.

Pais. Thursday, March 18-(By The Associated Press) - Brigadier- General George H. Harries, com mander of the military force at Der lin, has been here several days to report to the Supreme War Council on the military and economic situa- tion throughout Germany. He has given a dramatic recital of events in Berlin during the past three months, culminating in the serious street fight ing of the last fortnight.
 When the American party left Ser lin, the government forces under Gustave Noske, the German war min ister, had the upper hand and. in General Harries' opinion, the govern ment w-iIl control the situation, par ticularly if food is sent to aid in holding back the BolshevIk menace from the eastern border.

The head quarters in Berlin are on the second floor of the Hotel AdIon. in the heart of the city. where much fighting has been going on. During the early stages of the fighting, GenerSu liar ries had a narrow escape. He was standing in a window of the American headquarters, watching a clash be- tween opposing factions. when a bull let grazed his breast and buried itself in a window casing by his side.
 During the recent disorders in Ber- 
 tinguished. street cars stopped, tel ephone and telegraph wires cut. newspaper presses left idle and stores closed; yet the public, according to General HarTies. shows little evidence of panic. The streets have been crowded with people, including wo- men and children, but the military forces have kept the crowds con stantly moving. The rattle of rifles and machine guns echo throughoui the city both day and night, but the Spartacan bands have been gradually driven back and have lost control of strategic centers.
 Thousands of Russian prisoners, General TIa.rr1es says, are clamOTlng to return home, but this would pre- sent a serious problem, as 1t would mean the sending of 500 900 Russians into the hands of the Bolshevikl.

Australians Learn
 Value of Dollar

Sydney, Australia, March IA Aus tralians have learned to appreciate the value of the American soldier in the world war, according to the late Lieutenant Cecil Healy, of the Austra- Han Expeditionary Force, an interna- tionql swimming champion, killed last summer in France. Lieutenant Healy. who was one of the best swimmers in the world war over the long and middle distance courses, competed at the Olympic games in Stockholm. in a letter to a friend here he said:
 Until America ranged herself definitely on our side. I entertained strong mfsgivings as to what the ulti- mate issue would be, but when the United States declared war, the Teu- tons chances of obtaining world domination vanished forever in my estimation. I at once ventured to prophecy amongst my coterie of friends that it would be Yankee brains, Yankee wealth and resources alone that would enable us to stave off defeat.

I told that I had made one of a bunch of athletes who left Australia to con- pete against Americans at the OIyrn- pic games. We were convinced.
