NATIONAL CREDIT
NOT IN JEOPARDY

Washington. April l.--Conlidence in
the financial condition of the country
and It's ability to float the forthcoming
Victory Liberty loan was expressed by
Secretary Glass IN replying to the sug-
gcstlOn of Senator Calder Of New York
that II special session of Congress
should be called to stop depreciation
In the market price of Liberty bonds.
Far from agreeing that the decline
In outstanding bonds might je0pardlze
the popular campaign for flOtation of
the Victory issue this month thereby
tying up credits by forcing the banks
Ia take the new bonds, Mr. Glass de.
clared that he was assured the Treas
ury's Efforts to solve the financial
problems of the country would have
the support Of united and victorious
people" Depreciation In bonds, he
said has been the result OF artificial
causes aud he knew Of no one who did
not believe that all Liberty bonds
would sell above par before maturity.
There is today no lnsufiiciency of
credit for the needs of any useful en-
terprise nor insufllcIency Of gold to
support our credit structure" Secre.
tary Glass declared.
Already commerce and industry
begin 10 show signs Of the renewed
life which must follow the removal Of
the restraints and interference which
war made necessary" Secretary Gluss
said.

front indicating that there perhaps
may he few American soldiers held

pears that the majority OF the thirty
five Americans. which is the total
number listed as missing in action

lost in the woods. while others were
members OF small detachments which
were surrounded and are believed TO
have died fighting.
One American captain who com.
manded the force operating near
ShenkurSk said that the seventeen
men who were missing after tha, at.
tack were undoubtedly dead as the
bolshevlki apparently had conducted
their campaign on the basis OF making
no prisoners. Although the American
casualties in the field during late
December and in the month OF Janu-
