UPTURN IN MARKET
PRICES Of LIBERTY
BONDS IS Imminent
SOME LIQUIDATION INEVITABLE,
SAYS ANNALiST, BUT rT IS
HEALTHY CONDITION.

The fact that the market price Of
Liberty Bonds is still below par has
brought forth endless discussion
among persons who either seek or try
to give the reasons for the prices.
The present prices Of Liberty
Bonds have also been a factor in con
tributing to pessimistic stories as tc
the difficulty which the nation will
have in floating Fifth Loan.
The situation seems to be SO well
set forth in a recent article in The
Annalist, New York financial weekly
that we are reprinting a part Of the
article:
Every loan foated, whether 1t
be corporate or governmental, re-
quires a certain amount of time
to become seasoned. This will be
particularly true of our national
loans, which have all been sold
during periods Of tremendous
pressure whore every appeal was
made to the buyer to take the
maximum, whether or no the Sc
curity was suited to his needs or
within his ability to pay.
Gradual liquidation from small
holders is as inevitable, there
fore, as the law Of survival He
shall take who hath the power,
and he shall keep who can, and it
Is in keeping that more strength
of character is required than in
the resolution necessary to bring
one to the point Of signing the ap-
plication. The gravitation that is
going on, therefore, Is healthy
function, except, of course, where
selling is induced by INSCRIPTIONS
swindlers. The liquidation from
this source represents so many
footprints of the bonds in passage
from the hands Of the weak to
the strong, and every sale that
takes place on the board emanat-
ing from this source is one step
nearer to a solid market for Lib
erty Loans, since 1t is we'll
known characteristic Of those
who buy in a declining market to
hold either for permanent invest.
ment or for so substantial rise
that they are amply compensated
for their carry.
Much Of the money realized
from bonds sold to produce
writeoffs in the income tax will
either lie in banks or 60 into
short-time securities for invest
ment after the new year, and the
switching by savings banks may
be safely counted upon to do
nearly as much good to the mar.
ket price of the Liberty Loans
as 1t can harm to rails and mu-
nicipals. AS matter Of fact the
taking of tax exempts from an in
stitution unaffected by taxes and
the resale of the same to private
individuals is only the natural re-
suit Of gravitation Of securities
into the final niche in which they
are most efficient.
It is confidently believed, there
fore, that a turn in the tangent Of
bond prices is at hand with an
especially cheerful prospect for =
our national loans. "a,

ORDERS BASED UPON
GOOD MILITARY REASONS
General Pershing Informs General March
Regarding Continued Firing Up
to ii O'clock Nov. IL.

Washington, May 24.-GeneraI Per-
shing has informed General March, chief
of staff, that orders issued from Amer
lean headquarters in France that firing
was to be continued to II a. m. Nov. IL,
1918, along sectors held by American
troops, were based upon good military
reasons The commander-in- chiefs re-
port, made public to-day at the war de-
partment, was in reply to an inquiry
from General March prompted by crit
icisms in Congress and elsewhere that
the orders caused unnecessary sacrifices
of American lives.
These orders" said General Pershing,
''were dictated by the necessity for TAX
ing every opportunity to render certain
complete acceptance by the enemy of
the armistice and were undoubtedly con-
CURED in by the allied commander-in.
chief General Foehl, who himself issued
orders to the same effect"
The report said that with the excep-
tion of one small unit which failed to
receive instructions until ll:l0 a. m,
firing ceased exactly at the minute of
the armistice, and that no American
soldiers were subsequently killed in ac-
tion. If British and French officers or
dered cessation OF firing on their front
before II a, m, General Pershing said,
they did so without proper authority.

HAsKINs' PICTURE PRESENTED
To Windham County Bar at Court in
Newfane.

Before final adjournment of the April
term of Windham county court at New
fame Thursday an incident occurred
which made the final session one Of more
than ordinary interest and significance.
1t was the presentation to the Windham
county bar of large framed photograph
of the late Col Kittredge Haskins Of
Brattleboro ands its acceptance and re-
marks incident thereto. The portrait
hangs in the court room, among other
likenesses of former distinguished law
yers Of this county
Judge A. F. Schwenk Of Brattleboro,
who was Col. Haskins' law partner, made
the presentation in these words:
at has been the practice in this coun
ty for several years past for members of
the bar to secure and hang upon the
walls of the court house portraits Of men
prominently connected with the court,
and especially has this been true recent
ly since Miss Smith the court reporter,
has taken particular interest in prepar-
ing historical sketches concerning the
subject Of each portrait, and hanging
same underneath. Now, on behalf Of
Mrs. Haskins, | wish to present TO the
members of the bar, to be hung in this
court room, portrait of Colonel Has.
kins, who practiced at this bar a great
many years. A suitable sketch Of his
life will later be placed under the pic,
ture."
Judge Zed s. Stanton. the presiding
judge, then said in accepting the gift:
Not the least of the many attrac-
ha+ al
place for the presiding judges to hold
court is the adornment of the walls Of
the court room with these portraits of
prominent members Of the bar and Of
the bench There is no county in the
state that has as many, or approximate
ly as many, portraits in its court house
the portraits upon these walls make this
room as exceedingly pleasant and at.
tractive one. Among those who have
been prominent at the Windham county
bari take it from my general knowl-
edge of matters and not from my per-
sonal knowledge--is Col Haskins, who
faithfully served his clients, and his
state, that he was called upon TO repre-
sent on different occasions, especially in
the Congress of the United States. These
acts made it eminently proper that his
portrait should hang upon the walls Of
this court room. | have no doubt | ex.
press the sense Of the members of the
bar when | say that for them l gladly
accept the likeness Of Col Haskins and
return Mrs. Haskins our sincere thanks
for her kindness and thoughtfulness in
presenting the portrait to the bar. May
these portraits be preserved in all the
years to come, that these faces may be
an inspiration to the coming members of
the bar of Windham county and the
younger members of the bar at present,
to lead them along the lines of right liv-
ing and right doing as lawyers and prac-
titioners at this bar--a bar that has
become eminent in the past, is eminent
now, because of the personality and the
wisdom Of the members of the bar"
