French Econon,ist Proposes
Issue Of Liquidation Bonds.

PARIS, Feb. i6.-An interaliied imam
ciaf alliance Is strongly advocated In
the Figaro by Edmund Thery. the French
economist. II should take the form OF
a special organization. he says. to re-
ceive for joint account all sums paid by
Germany, Austria Hungary. Bulgaria
and Turkey, which II would transform
into liquidation bonds, ito be distributed
among the Allies"
NJ. Thery points out that after the
signing of peace the richest Entente
nations will seek to improve their mon
etary situation and consolidate their
financial resources as rapidly as possi-
bic on n gold basis. Such consolidation
would augment the difficulties of the less
favored. Allies in converting to gold,
sterling. dollars or francs. the dana ges

they count to pay the debts they have
contracted. either with the weather.
Allies or with neutrals.

would provoke among the Entente ma
tons an anita gonism OF interests which
Germany would not fail to profit by to
try to elude wholly or in part her en-
gagements. Such competition among
the Allies. he contends. would be an
objectionable mistake, for II would di
vide them within few years.

British Rushed Food as Shells

LONDON, Feb ls.-The part played by
British forces In feeding and assisting
the Inhabitants in villages liberated by
the British advance from October ! to
November rs is revealed In report by
a French mission attached to the British
armies In France. The report says the
British army had 10 deal with 100000 in
habitants of French villages, Of whom
45O. 900 were In Lille, Roubaix and the
Turcoing district This work varied from
eighteen to thrty-elght days according
TO conditions.
In spite OF difficulties OF tranHporta-

their own rations. the British distributed
a minimum quantity OF 5.0s4 600 civil
ian rations. At least 4o8, 900 French
people whom the Germans had sys-
tomatically deprived Of all means OF sub
slstence were saved from starvation. the
report says.
In many cases British troops carried
food into villages which were under
shell FIRE. ana the spirit and coura ge
OF British drivers in removing civilian
refugees In motor lorries whIle under

we're in liberated villages, and the Brit

or clearing hospitals. There was even
a mobile field hospital for the"excluslve
use Of civilians. The report says;

lives regardless OF the cost"

Copprioht. 1879: all yfchts reserved.

LONDON, Feb. ls.-The frst reports
from the new Bohemian republic have
been brought to London by returning
members OF the Creel Committee on
Public Information, who have arrived
here after tour of a month in Czecho-
Slovakia. Everywhere they were greet
ed with the widest enthusiasm and had
the most cordial reception.
Carl Byoir, who for many months
aided the Czecho- Slovaks through pub
licity work conducted in Washington, re-
ceived yesterday from the King OF Italy
the decoration Of the Cavalierie. Byoir's
journey through Bohemia was in the ma
ture OF n triumphal procession. During
the early months of 1918 he helped DR..
MaRaryk In the United states while the
latter was forming the nucleus OF the
new republic
Al that time DR.. Masaryk looked for
ward to a republic as a dream OF the
future and had little hope that his dream
would come true in the immediate
future However, with the aid OF the
Creel committee, principally Byoir. he
brought together the various elements
forming the new nation and returned a
few months ago to be made It's first
President.
" VA e''c wi uci AshAh
Of Bohemia on January II various re-
ception committees began boarding the
train and by the time he reached Pau
nearly every station along the line had
contributed to the reception. which ex-
tended all the honors formerly reserved
for visiting royalty.
The whole population of Pau turned
out for the visiting Americans. With
Creel and Byoir in the leading automo-
bile the procession could hardly push its
way through the cheering throngs The
windows bore the pictures OF President
Masaryk and President Wilson. The PEG
pie as a whole attribute the success OF
their national aspira lions to the Ameri-
can influence.
Creel and Byoir were the frst Ameri-
cans to arrive in the new republic In a
| semi-official capacity and the public
| made the most OF the opportunity to
show their appreciation OF the American
! efforts in their behalf.
| A special train carried the Creel party
10 Cracow and later TO Poland, where
the receptions were duplicated. Creel
arrived In London yesterday from Bel
GUM He Is winding up the work OF the
! American publicity campaign in the vari-
GUS European countries. where millions
OF pamphlets and thousands OF reels OF
moving pictures have been distributed
