THE first liberty loan, or issuance
of notes by the government,
bearing interest, was during the
revolutionary period. The issu-
ance of such notes is described in
letter written by Benjamin Franklin at
Passy, France July 21. 1850, which is
now in the possession of Rev. James M.
Nourse, a Presbyterian minister of Alex
andria. and a member Of the Presby-
teTian Ministers Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia.
The letter, which Mr.. Nourse has had
since 1851, is we'll preserved and highly
priced. 1t was presented to him by his
grandfather, Michael Nourse, who was
chief clerk of the registers office Of
the United States Treasury for fifty
seven years.
When the grandfather of Mr.. Nourse
was in the employment of the govern
ment. during the latter part of his serv-
ice. he proposed to the Secretary of the
Treasury the proper filing Of great
mass of letters and documents, stored
in barrels and boxes or lying in piles in
a corner room, in the basement of the
building. He offered as much time as
he could spare, without remuneration,
to overhaul all these papers and letters
and file them. The government provid-
ed suitable pigeonholes and shelves. He
spent one-half hour before office hours
during several years in this voluntary
work.
He was given permission by the Sec
retary of the Treasury to keep any Of
the letters desired, provided the
claims were settled and such letters or
papers would not be needed for any case
against the government or otherwise.
The case referred to in the Franklin let
ter was settled before 1893.
The letter written by Benjamin
Franklin is as follows:
PASSY July II. 1880.

on reports from federal reserve dis
tricts. The total subscriptions Off

$4,000.
The Treasury's review of the prog

The percentage Of quota officially
subscribed still is below the percent
age of the fourth liberty loan sub
scribed at the same period. There
is a gradual falling off in the average
percentage of quota subscribed and
workers are at loss to explain it.
Every district seems to be hopeful

TWO FACES

Although the bird of peace guards the
world, humanity will not forget the War, but, with
it's instinct to shield the sensitive cells of mind and
heart so long overcharged with suffering will I'M
consciously seek to blot from memory the darker
shadows of the tragedy. The clear-cut moral issues
for which we have fought may grow little blurred,
little dimmed in the mind. Not in order to perpe
tuate bitterness, but to keep Truth in focus, sug
gest simple act of symbolism. Cut out picture
of Foch and picture of Hindenburg, frame them
side by side and hang them where you can see Them
Those two faces represent the whole meaning
of the conflict They Knight and Bully, Gentle
man and Thug. The stern tender, pain-carved face
of Foch lit by some inner flame of loyalty; and the
gross, brutal jowl of Hindenburg! Set them as
neighbours and no lapse Of years will obscure the les
sons we must remember.
The face Of Foch is face for honest men to
study There is honor on the troubled brow and noble
pain in the eyes
Those his goodly eyes,
That Ger the files and musters of the
Have glowed like plated Mars
And the face Of Hindenburg? 1t speaks for itself.
