EUROPE TO SEND
GREAT MEN HERE TO HELP
Many Prominent Military Leaders and
Statesmen Of Allied Countries Will
Come Over to Speak for
Victory Loan.

Fresh interest is contributed to the
coming Victory Liberty loan cam
paign by the announcement that many
eminent military leaders and states
men will come here from Europe to
speak for the loan.
It is reported that the great inter-
est and support evinced by the alien
population in previous loan drives Is
responsible for the decision resulting
in the speakers being brought here.
Felix ]. Streyckmans. federal re-
serve director for the Liberty loan for
eign language division in the Seventh
district, on his return to the district
headquarters in Chicago, after confer
ences in Washington, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Many prominent Europeans will
visit this country during the coming
loan drive and bring the message Of
victory to their Americanized country
men. I regret that cannot announce
flames at this time, but they will come
through Washington after acceptances
have been received. The invitations
are being sent through the state de-
nartment, working in conjunction with
the diplomatic representatives
eve want these foreign men OF af-
fairs to visit us not only as an express
sion Of thanks to our own foreign-bOrn
for their support during the war. but
so that they get frst-hand in
formation from their own countrymen
as to the changes that have been occa-
stoned in their native lands by the
world war"
While Mr.. Streyckmans was noncom-
initial regarding the identity Of expect
Cd visitors, it was learned from an au-
thentic source that some Of them have
achieved worldwide recognition in af-
fairs Of state, while others have leaped
info prominence by their spectacular
participation in the great war.

Mrs. Miller Is domestic. but not
sporty. Mrs. Robbins Is SPORTY, but
not domestic. Each husband, the. one

hands. looks longingly at the others
spouse. So, the husbands agree. there
is nothing to do but to get divorce

of course, the new couples are even
less well pleased than the old and
the husbands beg to be taken back.

rounded Miss Greenwood with a
