COURT GUARDS AGAINST
ANOTHER ANKLE DISPLAY
Defendant in New York Extortion
Case Forced to Testify
From Stall.

NEW YORK. March 13. - Because
Mrs. Betty Inch was too generous In
the display Of her ankles to jurymen
who failed month ago to agree on a
verdict in her trial on charge of ex-
tortion, she found the witness stand
surrounded by four-foot board fence
when she appeared yesterday in the su-
preme court for the second hearing
of her case
Though the court and prosecutor
professed ignorance for the reason
for the erection of the barrier, court
attendants recalled a statement of the
latter, when the first jury disagreed,
that Mrs. Inch must not show her
ankles to the jurors at the next trial"

THE TEST.

IdE i 1EoI.
You can brag about the famous men
you know,
You may boast about the great
men you have met
Parsons, eloquent and wise, stars in
histrionic skies,
Millionaires and navy adntrals,
and yet
Fame and power ana wealth and
glory vanish fast
(They are lusters that were never
made to stick),
And the friends worth while and true,
are the happy smiling few
Who come to call upeh you when
you're sick
You may think it very fine to know
the great,
You may glory in some leaders,
words of praise,
You may tell, with eyes aglow of the
public men you know,
But the true friends seldom travel
glory's ways,
And the day you're lying pale and
keeping still,
With q fevered pulse, that's beat
ing double quick,
Then it is you must depend on the
old-famiiiar friend
To come to call upon you when
you're sick.
1t is pleasing to receive a great mans
nod,
And it's good to know the big men
of the land.
But the test of friendship true isn't
merely: 'Howdy ?''
And a willingness to shake you by
the hand.
If you want to know the friends who
love you best,
And the faithful from the dorbtful
you would pick,
1t is not a mighty task; of yourself
you've but to ask:
Does he come to call upon me
when I'm sick?"

LOAN DRIVE TORUN
APRIL 21:---MAY 10
Short Notes to Be Is.
sued--FWe Billion BeIiev-
ed to Be Goal.

The victory loan campaign will be-
through Saturday, May 10. Short-term
notes. maturing within five years, will
be issued in the place of longterm
bonds. as in the past The amounts of
exemptions from taxation and interest
rate will be decided about the mid
die of April, and will depend upon
financial conditions at that time.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
made this information known last
night. It is believed that the loan will
be for $4,000, 100000. with the Treas
ury reservfng the right to accept all
oversubscriptions, and it was esti-
mated that the interest rate might be
in excess of the Az per cent borne
by the third and fourth loans
'I am led to adopt this plan of is
suing short-term notes rather than
long-term bonds largely because of
the fact that L believe that u short
term issue will maintain a price at
about par after the campaign is con-
cluded far more readily than would
a longer term ISSUE" said Secretary
Glass.
Il have not yet reached a conclu-
sion as to the rate of interest and ex-
emptions from taxation. which those
notes will bear. because this decision
must be based on existing conditions
Immediately prior to the opening of
the campaign.
1T would be a most unfortunate oc-
currence If the people of the United
States failed to take these notes, thus
placing the burden of subscriptions on
the banks. The business of the coun-
try looks to the banking system for
credit wherewith to carry on it's oper-
ations. and if this credit is absorbed
to large extent by the purchase of
government securities, there will be
many limitations placed upon the
supply of credit FOR business pur-
poses"

No Description overdrawn-

tsUnless terms of peace can be speedily
agreed upon and unless these terms are
such as will permit the resumption Of
something approaching normal indus
trial life, there is not merely a chance,
there is a strong probability of Russian
bolshevism overrunning Germany. What
bolshevisrn is can never be really pic
tured by normal mind. No description
of it has been oyerdrawn. Hunger can
lead any country to bolshevism and
hunger is what central Europe is fac
ing.
There is no economic legerdemain
that can correct the financial difficult
ties of Europe. Production alone can
do that Production in sufficient guam
tity TO permit the export of goods
alone can permanently support ex-
changes.
There have been dreams of all the
allie sharing all debts. There have
been plans proposed for international
guarantees of exchanges. These are
idle suggestions. There can be no in
ternationai guarantee that can sustain
exchanges while printing presses con-
tinue to make paper money.

Industries Must Start at Once.

There is nothing to be gained by
stopping to question who is to blame,
or by finding fault with the way
events have been guided. The great
productive machine of Europe must be
started, or the world will be con-
fronted with a disaster such as no
experience has recorded. Here in
France everything waits on the set
tlement of the question of indemnity
and the progress of events in Ger
many. Each day makes the prospect
of indemnity less possible.
II have seen something of the utter
wreck which the central empires infiict-
ed throughout the war zone 1t is com
pIete-no words can picture truly how
complete it is. That wreck, however,
covers only a strip from the channel to
the German border. There is possible
wreck that will cover all Europe. If
production is not resumed the horrors of
war may be exceeded by the horrors of
this after-period. which is neither war
nor peace, but a breakdown of the ma
chinery of civilization.
