BRITAIN STARTED
WAR STAMP IDEA
interesting Comparisons Between
Systems in America and
England.
BRITISH PRICE ALWAYS SAME
Stamp lie Dated When Purchased and
Id Due Exactly Five Years From
Date--War Savings Societies
Are Popular

Washington. interesting cont
parison between the systems OF War
Savings stamps In Great Britain and
America is made by the savings divi-
sion of the United States treasury.
England had been selling War Saw
ings certificates for more than Il year
before this ATTRACTIVE form of invest
ment was offered TO fhe people uf the
United States This country has had
the advantage of the BrItons expert
ence In this field, and while the two
savings stamps are alike in most re-
spects there are few interesting dit
ferences.
The British War Savings stamp Is
dated when purchased and Is due ex-
actly five years from that date. This
enables them TO sell tile certificates al
ways for the same--15s. 3d. tS3.SSl
The American War Savings stamps
are issued IN annual series. and each
series has uniform date or issuance
and OF maturity. The present rate ~
kept uniform by increasing the pur-
chase price one cent each month. This
means that all of the 1919 War Savings
stamps will mature In January, 1924,
while In three or four years British
War Savings stamps viii begin coming
up for redemption In varying amounts
each day.
The British System.
The British have aeyoved the sys-
TEN Of purchasing the regular sixnente
postage stamps. which are pasted on

Exempt From Taxation.

Both British Savings certificates and
American War Savings stamps are ex-
empt from taxation, and for this and
other reasons there rs a Limitation TO
the amount that may he held by one
individual. In the early war days In
England persons with income exceed
Ing $1,000 were not permitted to buy
Savings stamps. This condition was
later changed SO that anyone may hold
Savings certificates up to about e, 800
maturity value. In the United
States one individual may not hold
more than $1,000 of any one series. In
both countries there Is no limitation
preventing each member Of Il family
from holding the prescribed limit.

Paris, Sept. 26.--Premier Clemen-
ceau's remarkable address in the
chamber Of deputies yesterday, in
which he asked for the ratification of
the peace treaty was made on his 18th

that his words on the previous day,
during his colloquy with NJ. Barfuer,
on America, the way he spoke of the
Admirable impetuosity" in which Am
erica slung troops into the battle fields
showed no slight.
Applause rang thru the chamber
when he said:
should there be no written treaty
should count on America just the
same. can say we can count on the
adoptioH of the treaty there.
II have seen young Americans at the
front and not one of them wavered IN
the fight. When asked why they were
there, ther replied, for liberty"
The premier recalled one crisis when
the allies had to defend Calais and
Paris. "a few days later Premier Lloyd
George asked what i had decided, re-
piled, Paris is France, France makes
Paris. I would burn Paris to save
France"

ident Violated Laws.
Washington. Sept. 26.-President
Wilson's reported acceptance of gifts
from foreign rulers drew the fire OF
Representative Rodenbery Of Illinois.
in a resolution offered in the house in
structing the judiciary committee to
abtain a complete inventory Of SUCH
gifts.
II have introduced this resolution
for the purpose Of clearing up the ru-
mors," Representative Rodenberg said
.If there should be no foundation for
them a great injustice is being done to
the reputation Of the president, ana
he is entitled to an exhoneration.
Section of article /. Of the con-
stitution expressly provides that no
person holding office of profit or trust
in the United States shall without the
consent Of congress accept any pres
ent, emolument, office, or title. OF any
kind whatever, from any king or prince
Of foreign state"
"Personally am loath to believe
any president would be guilty OF violat-
ing the plain provision Of the const-
tuition. 1t is also of the greatest I'M
portance that the public should be in
formed as to whether any members OF
the presidents family or party nave

Senator Cummins Says
Future Is Blind if Cove
nant Is Unchanged.
WILSON ALIENATED
ALL OUR FRIENDS
Cummins Says When President Left
Paris United States Had Not Ono
Friend in Europe, Asia or Africa
and All He Brought Home Was
League Covenant Which Will Insure
Future Wars Rather Than Peace.

Washington, Sept. 26.-When Presl-
dent Wilson ended his work at Paris
the United States had not friend IN
Europe, Asia and Africa. and our bril-
liant service in the war was almost
forgotten in the stolm OF protest
which followed him as he sailed for
home" Senator Cumnins declared TO-
day in an address In the senate,
1.-The only thing which the president
brought with him which he was en-
dorsed by many good people was CO.
yenant for league of nations. and TINS
because many Of them believed that
the league would bring peace to war
weary world and maintain it in all the
years to come. Gradually they are De-
ginning to see the tremendous burdens
which we are to assume and some pro-
visions which must inevitably bring
war"
Senator Cummins deplored the at
tempt of some senators to make 1t ap-
pear that the attack on the treaty waA
to oppose the president, as well as the
efforts of the latter group to make II
appear as tho their efforts were hos
tile to their country
"The casual observer in the senate
Would be inclined to reach the con-
clusion that the most influential sena-
tors on this side of the chamber are
altogether insensible to the horrors OF
war and are just trying to antagonize
the president, while at the same tins
he could not resist the inference that
the most persuasive senators on the
other side OF the chamber are bent on
wrecking their country to indicate the
infallibf1tty Of their chief executive at
Paris"
Shantuns Crime Odious.
Senator Cummins contended that
when the war was ended our exit from
Europe should have been as speedy as
possible. This does not mean that we
should make a separate peace with
Germany. but 1t does mean that we
should not ally with a map of the
world as the victors had made 1t.
Condemning the Shantung treaty, the
senator said he wanted to relieve the
country from the eternal odium" OF
the Shantung crime and the disgrace
of the passing over of Thrace to Bull
garia. There would be many Shan
tungs" he said land II the allied
powers worked In harmony 1t would
mean nothing less than complete and
arbitrary control OF the world. AS
much as he deplored the wrong done
China he would adhere to the princi-
pies he had announced and would vote
against the amendment awarding 1t to
China.
'.If America" he said, "is shackled
to the proposed league Of nations just
as It is written she will go blindly into
the future instead Of guiding her peo-
pie safely thru these troublous times.
