GOOD POINTS IN AMERICANS
Mexican Recognizes Attributes He Be-
lieves Latins Might Copy to
Their Advantage.

Let us recognize this: The poetry
of the American character is shown in
four devotions-to women, to children,
to trees and to birds. These men,
whom many people unjustly suppose
to be rude; these men, who make mil
lions; these men, who maintain the
rails through immense deserts; who
build up formidable industries, have
in their spirit these four devotions,
which honor them vastly and which
not few of us Latins would like to
have for the better honor and embel-
lishment of our common existence.
There are in compensation many
children and fiocks of birds. Children
are the kings of the parks. Everything
there is for them. They rule over all,
and you may see them, as / did, in
Rock Creek park Washington with
their naked legs wading in the many
small streams and shouting charm
ingly while splashing in the crystal
of the water. Notwithstanding they
are smaller than the children, the
birds are little kings as well. Little
kings that are respected not only In
the air but on the ground. Sparrows
have found on the sidewalks among
the hurrying throngs of people, jump
ing and hopping about.-Carlos Con
zales Pena, in Universal Illustrate.

Passive ResIster. Perhaps.

/ A few months ago Jeffersonvills re-
eeived some new city cars which ex-
cited much admiration. They are 1T

doors that win not open until the car
stops and that will not let the car
start again until they are closed, pay
Rs-you-enter arrangements and so
forth. But pride had a fall a few
nights ago when one Of these nice new
city cars tried to buck a small auto
mobile of a make of widely known re-
pute, and supposed to be as addicted
to the way Of peace as the man whose
name they bear. The automobile was
! standing perfectly quiet-just like ''tar

was over, the auto had slight limp In
Its rear parts, but the city car was de-

Of speed comes to one In the air.
There is, of course. the tremendous

TREASURY HEAD
SPEAKS TO YOU
Secretary Glass COrrGcts En-
rOneous Statement Regard
Ing Necessity For Loan.

The following statement from Car
ter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury,
will be Of special interest to the
readers of this paper, due to remarks
we have all heard in regard to the
necessity for another Liberty Loan.
"a rumor has reached the Treasury
J that mistake has been made by the
authorities, that from $15,000,000
to $17,00O,00O000 has been returned
to the Treasury as result of the
armistice and that therefore another
Liberty Loan Is unnecessary.
1.-THE rumor is absolutely unfounded.
suppose it has its origin in a fail
ure to understand the discussion Of
the proposed repeal by Congress OF
S15, 000,000,000 of appropriations and
authorizations. This does not mean a
return of money to the Treasury, but
a cancellation of authority heretofore
given by Congress to expend money
in the future. Such reduction in fu-
ture expenditures was anticipated by
| Secretary McAdoo and fully allowed
for when ON November 14th he wrote
| to Senator Simmons forecasting an
expenditure of some $15,000,0000
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1919, and suggesting a reduction in
taxes for that year to $6,0O0OOO,00O
and for the fiscal year ending June
! 30, 1920, to $4,000000,000.
! GAS a matter of fact, the whole
proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan
and of all previous loans had, at the
time the armistice was signed been
expended or anticipated by Treasury
certificates of Indebtedness issued
during the summer and early fall to
finance the current requirements Of
the government and at that time out
standing and unpaid. 1t has been the
practice of the Treasury since the be-
ginning of the war to finance the cur
rent requirements of the government
by the issue of Treasury certificates
of Indebtedness of short maturity at
frequent intervals before each Liber-
ty Loan and to refund these Treasury
certificates from time to time by the
sale of Liberty Bonds. This practice
was followed in advance of each of
The four Liberty Loans so that when
any Liberty Loan was actually offer
ed for subscription and the proceeds
reached the Treasury only very
small part were available for the fu-
ture requirements of the government,
the greater part Of the proceeds being
rauuirad IN ratira tho short time Traa q
ury certificates of Indebtedness issued
In anticipation Of the Loan.
1.-The S2,300,OOO,000 net proceeds
of the Fourth Liberty Loan were soon
exhausted To meet the current ex-
penditures of the government since
about the time of the armistice it has
been necessary to borrow $4,231 $780,
800 on Treasury certificates.

picture from the desk where he had
put it the first day. Attached to it
was the recommendation that had
come from Miss Wiggin which he had
never read before.
He glanced at it, first casually, then
gripping the paper, read with bated
breath the slip which, with printed
blanks filled in, ran something like
this:

did not recall that the original Of the
brief description was standing before
him.

up to his proposal so early in the
morning. He had planned to wait till
afternoon, but this seemed his best
cue. 81 can't let you be a filing clerk"

Reforestlnn in Eranoe

Percival s. Ridsdale, secretary OF
the American Forestry association, re.
Gently sailed for France, where he will
offer the help Of the United States in
reforesting devastated territories. He
will confer with officials of the French
government upon his arrival in Paris.
He took over quantity of Douglas
fir seed, which is believed to be suited
to French climate and soil conditions.
Mr.. Ridsdale explained that a million
and quarter acres of forest in the
north and east of France had been
used during the war to provide timber
for trench buildings, barracks, roads
and huts.
