The Best in the world,-Buy 1t.

The American who has bought some
Victory notes but not all he can
carry is financially foolish. The man
who has bought no Victory notes
though he could carry them is finan-
cially idiotic.
Never again In the life Of any living
American will the United States Gov
eminent offer another such security.
Just before the war an investor had
to hunt high and low for an ordinary
railway bond that he could buy on
per cent. basis. Investors thought
they were marvellously lucky to be
able in o stock market panic to pick
up at two points, three points, five
points above par first class securi-
ties paying only 4 per cent.
And now in a time of peace, with
no great war possible in the next gen.
Grafton, League Of Nations or no
League Of Nations. the United States
Government puts out the safest, the
strongest, the surest security that
ever was offered In the history Of the
world-and 1t pays an per cent. in
terest. 1t carries tax immunity priv
ileges. 1t is worth AZ per cent. re-
turn to anybody. To the man who
Is subject to heavy income taxes 1t is
worth a great deal more. He will
pay no normal taxes on income from
them. Converting them into the 81
per cent. bonds, he need pay no taxes
at all on the income. And yet there
are men, men Of small incomes, men
Of moderate incomes, men Of big IN
comes and men Of huge incomes, who
still hesitate to invest in these Vic
tory notes, to which there never was
an investment peer.
What's the matter with them
Would they rather pay more taxes
II the Government does not sell the
bonds they will pay more. The rich
man will pay them. The poor man
will pay them. Nobody can escape
them, because IL the Government does
not get as loan the money 1t must
have from the American people 1t is
going to tax 1t out of them. 1t will
have to tax 1t out Of them.
Buy your Victory notes this week
or begin to scrape and sklmp this
very same week to get together your
pennies and your dollars to pay the
thicker and the heavier taxes which
will squeeze you Just as surely as

them up.

Of those who AFFECT It. 1t has to do
with the Jews in the division, all Of
whom, 1t would appear from certain
commentaries, are assumed to have
been pants makers" or pushcart ped
lers before they put on khaki. What
ever their previous state, we are asked
to believe that as a race the Jews are
towards, and that the excellent show
ing made by them in the Seventy-sev-
enth was in the nature of a revela-
ton to observers. II this is the case,
these Observers should take the time
to look over the ranks Of amateur and
professional boxers, and ask, for ex-
ample, BENJAMIN LEINER, who has
won considerable and we'll deserved
fame under the name BENNY LEONARD,
whether Jew can fight.
Having in mind the society from
which the Seventy-seventh Division
was drawn, THE SUN Is not surprised
that 1t fought well and earned the
praise Of the army of which it was
part. Had it done otherwise we
should have been shocked and humili-
ated. But what 1t did was to fulfil
all our expectations, and then, as
Is the custom of New York, exceed
them when to exceed them appeared
necessary or desirable. 1t manifested
in war the admirable qualities we
have grown accustomed to among our
fellow townsmen In peace, its men
adapting themselves easily and grace
fully to new conditions and behaving
throughout their service in a way
which merited and won the praise of
all authorities.
These men have seen great sights
and done great deeds. They fairly
represented New York in September
1917, when they began to move in
numbers to the cantonments. They
performed new and strange duties
faithfully. They needed no regenera.
ton of spirit to make them worthy
Of their city, their State and their M
ton. They have come back covered
with honors well earned, and we re.
ceive them not as prodlgals made over
by war but as sons who displayed In
uniform the virtues they had prac
tised in peace.

Bull Harlan Delegates Called to Paris.

The report of the spread Of Boil
shevism to Bulgaria, which Is brought
by despatch from Sofia to Berlin
newspaper, is not likely to be &C.
cepted as true without further inves-
tigation. Even the added detail Of
fighting between the Government
troops and the revolutionists Is not
convincing as report on conditions
in that country.
LEVINE and TRoTzKY made a strong
effort to win Bulgaria to the Soviet
form Of government at the same time
that they gained their apparent sue
cess in Hungary and Bavaria. But
Bulgaria was not fertile soil for the
growth Of Bolshevist ideals. There is
not a large urban or industrial popu-
lation in the country to appeal to.
The communist idea is not new TO
Bulgaria; 1t has been under trial
there for years, as 1t has been in most
Of the Balkan region. As a result
Bulgarians have known communism
long enough to sift out all that IL
visionary and impracticable and to re
duce 1t down to system Of local or
community government that suits
their needs. They required no en-.
hghtenment on that subject from
Moscow.
The Bulgarian Is naturally canny
individual. He has not been long
enough out Of the control Of the Turk
not to accept a leader. The willy
FERDINAND knew this quality Of the
Bulgars and was able to do very much
as he pleased with them so long as he
succeeded. He failed them completely
through his efforts ut self-aggrandize.
ment. At present they are wary Of q
leader from outside their own nation
For this reason It is very likely true, as
one of their public men said that "the
Bulgarians have been so thoroughly
fooled by foreign leadership that they
are not going to accept LEVINE and
TRorzKY, the most questionable Of all
leaders" If there Is really a revolu
tionary movement 1t is most likely ar
effort to get rid of the last reminder
OF the Coburg rule by dethronins
FERpINAND's son, BORIS.
This reported spread Of Bolshevism
follows almost Immediately upon the
call Of the Bulgarian delegates to the
Paris Conference. Similar reports
of the spread OF Red terrorism have
been coming out Of the countries OF
the Central Allies ever since the terms
of peace have been under discussion.

MIR. WILSON AND THE ADRI-
ATTIC.
The Treatment Of Japan and Of Italy
Compared.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. II
any further evidence were needed to
prove the fundamental insincerity OF the
Wilson methods at the Peace Confer
ence It is furnished by a comparison
between the Fiume outrage and the
Japanese Concessions"
The Italian delegation and the Ital-
ian nation were insulted and denied
their manifest rights; and this in d.
reot violation of one Of the sacred Four
teen Commandments relating to self
determination" Italy was to be butch
cred to make Wilson diplomatic VIC
tory after many surrenders and modi-
fications concerning the above men,
toned sacred Fourteen to meet the
practical objections of England and
France. American pursestrings were
to strangle Italian resistance. 1t seemed
safe.
Japan needed nothing from the United
States. but the League OF Nations needed
Jspan's adherence. Therefore Japan Is
given complete domination OF tho Shan
tung peninsula over the protests of the
Chinese. its owners, and Fiume Is de-
MED to Italy in spite of the clearly ex-
pressed will Of its inhabitants In favor
Of annexation by Italy.
Quite aside from the mevfts of Italy's
claims in the Fiume matter. what do the
American people think of tho method
used by Mr.. Wilson In combating them
the cold blooded and deliberate attemp,
to kick over the duly constituted Gov
eminent by an emotional appeal to 1.-THE
people?

1t has also been noticed since the

would give the Washington Heights
citizens an equal chance with the Bronx

Heights people have no chance at all.

They Weren't Lost; They Obeyed
Orders.

The statement issued by the CON-
mander of the Seventy-seventh Divi-
sion, Major General ROBERT ALExAN-

sion which may have existed relative
to the adventure of the so-called Lost

W. WHIrTLEsEY commanding-in the

MaJor-General ALEXANDER realized
that lost" conveyed to many persons
false impression of the real nature
of the incident; possibly an impress
sion that Major WHIrrLEsEY and his
men became detached from his regi-
ment and brigade by his own mistake
and paid CALAMITY for an error. The
Alexander statement clears this up.
The First Battalion deserves all the
honors II has received for Its achieve
ment; and Its commanding officer is
absolved from any suspicion Of having
made tactical mistake. The bat
talon was not lost in the sense OF los

commanding General Of the 154th
Brigade the brigade reserve was not
placed where It could accomplish the
end desired. Instead Of being placed
facing west or northwest so as TO

they must have surrendered-thatf five
days after the ''loss" artillery fire

the face of General ALExANDER's con-
