Whe are the Liberty Bonds!
Where are the liberty bonds of
yesteryeah? Who remembers those
intensely patriotic gentlemen that
arose i'm the theatres and moving pic
ture houses and called out their bids
in thousand dollar lots? Great APP
plausei There were others who
took measley fifty or a hundred
dollar bond, which they paid for on
the installment plan. These people
still have their bonds. il is differ
ent with those other purchasers, who
bought speculation bonds. Ac
cording to the Federal Reserve
bulletin Sc, 500, o0O,0 900 of liberty
bonds, victory notes and treasury
certificates were owned outright and
held as collateral for loans in the
banks of the country on June 80,
1919. This vast amount of bank
credit has been manufactured and
put in circulation as purchasing
power. The figures serve to explain
the great increase i'm the wealth of
the country, which is reflected in
large measure in the increases in
prices for commodities and labor.

MEMORIAL grove in
WALNUT HILL PARK
Council Votes to Have Trees
Planted for Dead Fighters

AS a memorial to every soldier,
sailor and marine in this city who
gave his life in the world war, the
common council at an adjourned
meeting held last evening, adopted q
resolution to plant an oak tree for
every deceased veteran here. The
resolution was presented by Council
man George Fl. Wells.
Each tree will have a bronze tablet
on it giving the name Of the soldier
to whom it was planted. 1t was, pro-
posed to have the trees planted in a
grove on Walnut hill park. Council
man Gorbach thought that the board
of park commissioners might want to
plant the trees elsewhere than in the
park. Councilman Wells stated that
they had the trees on hand and that
the transplanting should be started
at once The resolution was unan-
mously adopted.
Rules to Expedite Business.
A resolution calling for the amend
ment of the standing rules of the
council in order to expedite the meet
ings was presented by Alderman
Curtis. The new rules provide that
the boards and commissions have
their reports ready at least a week
before the meeting. These reports
would be sent to the members for
consideration and avoid unnecessary
discussion at the sessions. The new
regulations also provide that such
typewriter and printed business COM
ing before the meeting shall be con-
sidered before the session without the
Formally of a notion Reading will
be unnecessary except on request.
Unless there is objection the rules
provide, that the reports will be re-
ferred to the proper boards or COM
missions. The order of precedence
of various formal motions are also set
forth. The rules provide that no one
but a member of the council will be
permitted to speak at the meetings
without consent of the council. Alder
man Paonessa moved that the resolu-
ton be ahled for printing so that
the MON bers may have further OPP
portunity to study the recommended
tons offered.
Soldiers Medals.
Councilman Gillin presented a res
olution to authorize the com ptroller
to draw an order for $1,365 to pay
for $500 medals which are to be
presented to every soldier, sailor
and marine in this city Alderman
Paonessa questioned the legality Of
such a resolution. The question, he
said arose nrout month ago whether
the city haa right to expend a ST.
600 to welcome tho boys of the 26th
when they arrived in Boston. The
resolution, lie said, called for a SINH
lar appropriA tion. He favored hold
ing tag day to secure the necessary
amount.

HENRY JAMES
PRAISES POWELL

A tribute he considers 10 be perhaps
the most remarkable that has even beer
paid him. Is one which John Powell
the American pianist, received from
Henry James. the famous American
author and psychologist.
Mr.. Powell will appear In recital
Thursday night at the New Century
Club auditorium.
Powell and James were brought TO-
gether by Mrs. John Richard Green
widow Of the noted historian, and one
OF Powells most ardent English adj
mirrors. After many attempts she sue
ceeded finally ia taking Henry James
20 one OF Powell's London recitals. The
author went most unwillingly, stOutly
declaring that, although he loved music,
he disllked hearing II surrounded by
noisy audiences in ugly halls; adding
he loathed tho piano, and above all
pl6nlsts.
After tho concert Mrs. Green was
much surprised and delighted when Mr..
James expressed a wish TO meet his
countryman and talk with him, and SO
a short time later she arranged a dis
tinguished dinner company which in
cluded the two Americans.
After dinner Powell was asked to
play. Henry james, seated in a big
chair in far corner OF the room, closed
his eyes and apparently slept, much 10
the annoyance OF tho musical ladies
present. When the music ended the
other guests swarmed about the per-
former and congratulated him in the
usual eXiravagant fashion. Suddenly
~. Fra Afa ahufr ufI sEFuNLe-
ed 10 the center OF the drawing room IN
such a way that every eye was fastened
upon him.
II too, have something TO say TO Mr..
Powell" he began. when our good
friend Mrs. Green invited me to go with
her TO your concert" he continued,
turning and addressing the pianist
directly, II accepted very unwillingly-
told her OF my dislike for concert
audiences, the piano and long-haired,
affected pianists. went merely as 4
matter OF friendship for her.
"When you came out on the stage, /
thought 20 myself: This is a very COM
monplace looking person. and is far
too young, besides. 20 be able TO pro-
duce the results which Mrs. Green has
promised You sat down at tho piano
and began TO play. ] thought TO my
self: 4 have often heard pianists play
every whit as well as this"
BY this time Powell had begun TO
flush and feel very uncomfortable. and
murmurs OF remonstrance began 10
arise from the ladies. However, Mr..
James held up a hand 10 enforce silence,
md resumed: "And then, suddenly. the
piano dlsappeared-th was no piano
here. And then The audience disappear
d was alone with you. And then you
disappeared. There was no John Powell,
,ut a mighty wind fllled the whole |
llaoe and played upon my soul.'
And that is how the great Henry |
lanes praised the American pianist.
