KEEP HIM IN

Friends Of Eugene v. Debs are
busy. They are mailing millions of
postcards to people in the United
States asking their support in secur-
ing the freedom of Debs from prison
for violation OF the espionage act.
The card, in part, reads:
"The most autocratic European
nations have released their political
prisoners. Only here in the United
States does a democratic admins
tration still throw men and women
into Jail for having spoken their hon
est convictions"
The cards further ask that those
who receive them demand the i'm
mediate release of Debs." The fact
that the cards are signed by 'C.C.C."
and do not reveal the sender's real
name is ample proof that he is a
coward-is living in mortal fear Of
the law. And well he should live in
fear. The scheme is merely another
process started by the red element
to cause the United States more
trouble.
Debs has lived in the United States
for many years, and has always
fought the government. From his
youth he has been a rank agitator,
always to be found with the dis
gruntled faction-and 1t might be
said the lawless faction. II there
had been enough men of Debs' cali
bre in America our brave soldiers
would have been crushed by the
kaiser's naughty cracker-jacks and

BANK CLEARINGs

Harper's magazine calls attention
to a remarkable fact Of present bus
mess conditions.
Business, according to the usual
view, has been bad for three or four
months, and is still bad. There has
been nothing approximating a panic,
but there has been a general dulness
or depression. Almost any business
man win tell you that.
Now, in the past one Of the most
accurate indexes to the volume of
current business has been the volume
of bank clearings. The principle OF
the thing is simple enough-the
more business transacted, the more
money is handled by the banks in the
form OF checks and drafts. Conver-
sely, the more paper handled by the
banks. the more business is being
done.
Remembering, then, how very
good" business was in the early
months of last year, most people will
be surprised to learn that in the cor
responding months OF this year the
bank clearances reported for the
whole country are considerably high
er. Thus, taking two typical dates.
we find that the clearings reported
on February Is, 1918, were s5,1S0,-
100000 and on the same date Of
1919 they were $5.937,OOO, 900; on
March of last year they were s6.-
ST., 900, 900 and on March / of this
year, $7,477,Oo0,OoO. The gains for
the four separate weeks ending
March 1 range from II to 27 per
cent. A comparison of clearances
from newspapers Of recent date will
mostly show the same situation.
Financial experts mention certain
facts as contributing to the volume
of bank clearances without actually
serving as a record of increased bus
iness. There must be such factors,
of course, because no well informed
man can believe that business Is
actually better now than it was a
year ago. But these increased clear
ings cannot be entirely explained
away. There is an enormous and un-
precedented amount of money-if we
reckon checks and drafts as money
circulating around the country in
of old obligations and new
bills, and 1t probably represents a
larger amount Of actual, current bus
iness and "better times" than most
persons have any idea Of.

"THE HUNS HE'LL TRAP"
Thirteenth Episode)

The thirteenth episode of Evolves
of Kultur" grips n with the tense
ness of its situations and causes a
shudder when the diabolical schemes
of the Hun eonspirators within our
gates is frankly revealed. Bob is as
cending a rope to the top of the tower
to go to Alice's aid and Carter is
about to cut the rope. Bob, however,
is warned by Alice and slides to safe
ty.
Alice is taken by Carter to a house
over the cave, where the torpedo is as
sembled. She is tortured in the cave
by workmen in various ~dastardly
ways.
Bob happens upon Walker in the
woods and demands the whereabouts
of Alice. He is thrashing Walker
soundly, when Carter happens up and
sees the fight, going to Walkers as
sistance.
Bob escapes again. Alice is bound
in the cave room with chains. She
is slowly wearing the chain through
by grinding it. against the rocks.
She releases herself, and is attempt
ing to find a way of exit. Barclay,
the detective is, of course, still among
the workmen. Because of his lack of
desire to work, he is subjected to the
hazardous torture of being strung up
by the heels.
Walker has attached an Internal
machine to the only exit door of the
cave; this for the purpose of %insuring
that none of the workmen will depart.
The Internal machine is so connect
ed that any one attempting to open
the sliding door will Immediately be
blown to pieces.
Bob is still in search of Alice and
sees the signal from a strange yacht
off shore. He determines to investi-
gate and swims towards this yacht.
He overhears German plans to de-
stroy transports with a wireless tor
pedo.
Alice, exhausted, creeps into a cave
crevice. A large snake crawls ver
her. She screams.
The guard at the trap-lever starts to
investigate. Alice comes to the trap
lever, realizing it is her only means
of escape from death.
She does not realize that the pulling
of the lever and the opening of the
trap will close the electric switch of
the internal machine and kill her.
She takes hold of the lever and
starts to pull. The trap door starts
to open and slowly pushes the electric
switch in. The episode ends here.

Mr.. Samuel Doughboy has become
a much married man since he set out
to make the world safe for democ-
racy, and the United States consular
authorities throughout the British
isles are having no end of trouble try
ing to straighten out his marital diff
culties.
Of approximately a million men,
bers of the Doughboy family who
passed through England on their way
to glory and everlasting fame in the
fighting line, several thousand (the ex-
act number is not yet known) took
pretty English, Irish and Scotch girls
unto themselves as wives.
Simply Could Not Resist.
It appears Mr.. Doughboy has more
time to himself in the British Isles
than during his s~ojourn in France,
hence there have been more marriages
to British girls than to French girls.
Not that our soldiers and sailors care
less for the dark-eyed beauties of the
romantic country they have played
such a prominent part in saving from
German oppression, but here in Eng
land and Ireland and Scotland they
just naturally couldn't help themselves.
The girls smiled at them with love-lit
eyes and spoke so softly and sweetly
in their own language that they really
couldn't resist the temptation.
Everything was fine until Mr.,
D~oughboy went away from here to add
his persuasive powers to those of Mr..
Tommy Atkins and Frenchy in throw
ing Fritz out of France and Belgium.
Uncle Sam, as we all know, was a bit
slow with his postal service at the
front, and Mrs. Doughboy in England
Ireland and Scotland became very
much worried. They asked the CON
sular authorities about Mr.. Doughboy's
whereabouts, and that's just where the
trouble started.
Uncle Sam, to whom said consular
authorities are more or less respon'
sible, thought he had some claim on
Mr.. Doughboy, since he had fitted him
out with a brand new uniform, kit.
etc.. paid his expenses over here, ana
even gave him spending money. But
Mrs. DoughbOy protested that she hac
first claim, and so the authorities have
beer as busy as a marrying parson
of Hoboken, N. j., adjusting matters ir
a manner that would not interfere
with Uncle Sans business in Europe
and at the same time would relieve
the anxiety of the many young womer
who have hopes of residing in the neal
future in America.
Most Serious in Scotland.
Scotland, however, has produced
the most serious problem to solve
Hundreds of wee lassies there say
they took Mr.. Doughboy at his word
Apparently that's all that's neces'
sary in Scotland, according to law
While the Scotch girls do moi
doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Doughboy
the fact that their mail has been sc
irregular since he left, also that the
armistice has been signed and soor
he'll be returning to America, has
caused them to inquire just where they
stand. And the American consular
representatives are burning the mid
night oil, blocking the telegraph an6
cable lines, exceeding the typewriter
speed limit and nursing aching heads
