Executive Chairman Liberty Loan
Committee of New England.
"As far as New England is con-
cerned this is enough. The same or
ganization which has successfully
operated in four Liberty Loans will
be ready and pulling at the leash by
April 21st, and the coming campaign
will be carried on with the utmost
activity.
The problem of the Treasury has
been to find an attractive form OF
security to offer the public. The con-
siderable discount at which the Sec,
'ond, Third and Fourth Liberty Loaa
long term bonds are selling, (due en-
tirely to the enormous volume which
1t has been necessary to sell in q
short space Of time) would make II
extremely difficult TO sell another
long term issue at par unless the
rate was made comparatively high.
by establishing not over 4A%
rate on previous issues the Treasury
accomplished the remarkable and
most economical piece of financing
that the world has ever seen. II
rates of interest on these various
loans had been continuously and
substantially increased, we would by
this time have had outstanding long
term bonds bearing rate of al
least so and, due to the amount
probably even then selling at a dis
count.
This, without question, woul'
have driven down the prices of al
other outstanding securities, and
would have made difficult, or ever
impossible, the financing of many
good companies. the operation OF
which was necessary to the Govern
ment during war times.
TO issue at this time long term
high rate bond would be foolish; foi
In normal times 40 Government
bond should sell at substantial pre-
MUM, and II would be manifestly
unwise to saddle the country with
M or so rate for long period
OF years This also would furthe,
depress the prices OF existing secu'
titles.
"The Secretary Of the Treasury
therefore, has wisely asked. and the
proposed bill provides that he b.
given the right TO issue compare
lively short term security at a rate
OF interest sufficiently high to make
'ts sale possible.
When the armistice was signet
the unjustified feeling which sprana
up almost over night that as the wal
WAS over there was no further ne
cessity for the purchase Of Govern.
ment bonds is. fortunately changins
very rapidly.
The country now realizes thai
contracts which the Government hae
made for the active continuation o.
warfare must be settled; that oui
men abroad must still be clothed and
led and eventually brought home and

WILSON AIMING
AT SHOW DOWN
Scope of Presidents S State
ment Includes Japan's
Claim to Shantung.

Paris. April 25.-America will
sign no peace that conflicts with the
fourteen points"
This declaration was repeated on
the highest authority today. Presi-
dent Wilson 10 relying on the people
Of the world to support him in his
stand that only such a peace can
endure.
The Presidents statement regard
ing Fiume Is now interpreted as
calling for a general show down"
Its scope was far broader than the
italian situation. 1t includes ia
pans claims to the Shantung Pc
ninsula. In fact. IL covers any re-
naming ideas allied statesmen may
entertain of going beyond the ar
ticles subscribed to in the armis-
tice.
And further, coming on the eve OF
the German delegates arrival, IL Is
a clear indication that the President q
Interpretation OF the fourteen points
not the Germans'-will prevail in the
final peace settlement.
Wednesdays mandate, according tc
those close to the President, was what
he had determined on from the start
OF the negotiations, but which certain
allied statesmen found 1t difficult to
realize he actually intended to de
mand-a just peace.
From now on. II is declared. the
President Is counting on public opin-
ion to force complete adherence to
the principles cnunciated by America.
The common people OF the world. he
insists. are parties in the Peace Con-
ference. Their will. he believes, will

Movement, Of regularly enlisted
army men to Siberia to replace those
men OF the Siberian expedition who
were drafted or who enlisted merely
for the duration of the war, will be-
gin within q few weeks. 1t was
learned at the War Department yes
terday.
Several thousand men will be af-
fected.
As fast as is possible the War De-
partment will relieve the national
army and duration men in Siberia
1t IL expected that every transport
leaving the Pacific coast for siberia
will carry q contingent Of tho replace
ments.
War Department officials do not
believe that more than 1900 men
as many as can be carried on one
transport-will be sent at one ship
ment- The shipments will continue
until all men In Siberia are regulars
who have enlisted for a specific
period.
The organizations in Siberia arc
all of the regular army. but con-
tain many men from the national
army who were drafted and sent to
the regular army as replacements
and many more who enlisted in the

About the "Vanishing Lady -

turity. game for a childish society.
But world suddenly matured.
sobered and strengthened by the
mighty tests of war must put away
childish things'-and the old institu-
tion of ladyhood must go-has gone.
In the war world where love, and
work, and death suddenly became the
only realities, there was no time for
the charming poses of the lady. She
was swept aside to make ROOM for
the truth-the woman. 1t was then
that the world saw ladyhood for the
artificial thing, the childish game il
was. and then that women dropped
the game and responded to the stand
to" call of their partners, the men.
Where the lady would have wept and
tainted the real woman smiled and
worked; where the lady would have
wrung her helpless hands the wom-
an invented and used "Jubstitutes;"
when the lady would havc whimpered,
the woman cheered; when the lady
would have ornamented the sidelines
the woman threw herself into the
bitter business of blood and dirt and
death.

liver the valedistOry of the vanishing
lady" And. fittingly enough. the vale
dictory of the lady was not spoken
from some flower-wreathed rostrum
by white-gowned girl assisted by a
be-ribboned manuscript. II was a
plain newspaper interview granted to
a woman writer, and its words were
as follows:
After the war there will be no
more ladies. There will be no more
interiors and superiors: for condescen-
sion will be substituted cooperation.
When people cast their minds forward
TO the new world after the war let
them reckon on n civilization with

mean. cOncretely. is that women will
never darn or knit again. For darn

can never return to putting In

done by machinery. The homes OF
tomorrow will be full OF fresh air, and
