Message From Pope
He Hopes to See New World
Order.

Rome, Tuesday, Dec. 31.-In New
Years message to America given to-
day to the Associated Press, Pope
Benedict expressed the hope that the
peace confer nee might result in a
new world order with a league of ma
tions, the abolition of conscription
and the Establishment of tribunals to
adjust International disputes. The
message reads:
"On the eve of the New Year III
which humanity is at last to enjoy
the blessings of peace, we are glad to
send cordial greetings to the Aneri-
can people as the champions Of those
same principles which have been pro-
claimed by both President Wilson and
the holy see insuring for the world
justice, peace and Christian love.
"In this solemn moment, wher a
new era in the history Of the world is
about to begin we pray that the AL
mighty may shed His light on the del
egates who are meet,..g in Paris to
settle the fate of mankind, and espec-
tally upon President Wilson as the
head of the noble nation which has
written such glorious pages in the an
mails Of human progress.
MAY the conference be of such a
nature as to remove any resentment,
abolish forever wars among brothers,
establish harmony and concord and
promote useful labor Out Of the
peace conference may there be born
the league of nations, which by
abolishing conscription will reduce
ornaments; which by establishing in
ternaticnal tribunals will eliminate
disputes while placing peace upon a
foundation of solid rock will guaran-
tee to every one independence and
equality of rights"

French Premier Clings to Old

Opposition to Wilson's League
of Nations.

speech at Manchester Monday against

S regarded in high American quarters
here as a direct rejoinder to the
speech of Premier Clemenceau IN t1es
chamber Of deputies in which ne de-
clared his support Of the balance OF;

it his guiding thought in the peace
negotiations.
Whether it was intended to. be So
is not known, but the Presidents:
sneech. coming within "a hours after
that of the premier has led to aeon
:rast between the two declarations
sharply defining two opposing view
points on the subject Of the balance
of power among tee nations.
The textual copy OF the prenlers
speech on Sunday night is now avail
able and gives the following Isfer-
ence on this subject: s.

Great disorder broke out in the
chamber at this point and Pierre
Prizon, a Socialist deputy exclaimed:
'aThis is the system which has9gones
into bankruptcy"
Premier clemenceau continued, say
ing:
This system appears to be con-
demned by some very high authori-
ties. Nevertheless, I will remark that

The premier was interrupted here
by applause and disorder in chamber,
but later resumed:

it most distinctly, my guiding thought

mits me to go there, and believe that
nothing should separate after the war

| The statement of the French pre-
mier is looked upon as foreign to the
staeme..t made a few hours later at
Manchester by President Wilson when
the president said:

but new attempt to keep the world

combination of all Of US. .
The French papers have RETAINED
from discussing the difference OF the
viewpoints, resulting from ne. Glenn

organ Humanite which says:

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MADE HOME POSSIBLE
Man Who Suddenly Found Himself
Without Roof Over Head Was Able
to Buy Property.

This true story tells how War Saw
ings Stamps built a sure protection
around one Washington war worker
and his family.
Early in the war savings campaign
he began a small systematic invest
ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti-
mately grew until he had an. invest
ment of S100. He says he acquired
his stamps without depriving him.
self or family. The investment @just
grew" out of incidental savings.
Presently this incidental money
became scarce. The war worker and
his family felt the burden of the war
time high cost of living, and the anx-
iety and expense of extraordinary i'll
ness of the two children. Then an
other blow fell. He awoke one morn
ing to find that he had no place to
live.
His residence had been sold and
he and his family were asked to va
cate. He could find no houses for
rent within his means, and was con-
fronted with the necessity of leaving
the city or buying home for his
family. He could not buy without
making a substantial initial pay
ment, and ready funds were SEEM
ingly beyond reach.
Then he thought of his War Saw
ings Stamps. He remembered they
were redeemable on ten days notice,
with accrued interest. With the pro-
ceeds of these stamps and such small
sums as he could gather he made
first payment on a new home in the
suburbs.
Recently he refused to sell it for
$1,000 more than the purchase price.
This man is War Savings Stamp
enthusiast-and he is on the straight
road to financial independence.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Are Ready to Protect Securities ot
Small Investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victery
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people of the United
States have done more than perform
a patriotic duty-they have invested
in the soundest securities in the
world, gold obligations of the Unit
ed States of America.
But the safeguarding of these Sc
curities has become a problem for
many folk. Only few persons, rel
atively, have either a safe in the
house or Office, or safe-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank. Far 10
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house, in
the bureau drawer, under the mat
tress. or on the shelf. And even if
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dan
ger of fire, and the loss of the money
invested.
There may be no further call for
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needs the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger of loss has deferred some peo-
pc from getting as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be a future question as
we'll as a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certif-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number of his security have been
registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
sibly get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tifcates may be registered through
the nearest postoffice; bonds through
the nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, Of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent a safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness to keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.

SUCCESSFUL DOLLARS
ARE THOSE WORKING
Invested in War Savings Stamps They
Never Fail to Yield You Hand
some Profit.

1t is the dollar that goes to work
that is the successful dollar. The
idle dollar is failure. The success
full dollar brings back another dollar
with it. 1t makes itself a dollar and
something-two dollars and some
thing-a whole family of dollars.
But the careless dollar goes off
somewhere and is never seen again.
A Texas man the other day lost a
life-time's savings-$7S6. His dol
lars had gone off in the pockets of
two fake stock promoters. He had
not taught his dollars to keep good
company.
Hundreds of years ago man to
whom a handful Of money had been
trusted buried it all in napkin. He
got no increase-he did not even keep
what he had.
The dollar that succeeds is ener-
,getic-and careful. War Savings
Stamps do more than save your dol
lars. They put them to work at
compound interest. And they never
fail. Your government guarantees
every one of them.

National Capital Engaged in a
Hunt for Bold, Bad Men.

Hunt for Bold, Bad Men.
Washington, July 2O.-The ma
TONS capital is going through the
novelty of a man-hunt.
A long series of daylight hold-ups
and robberies, topped off by five at.
tacks on white women by negroes,
has wound up with citizens taking af-
fairs into their own hands to the ex-
tent of forming vigilance committees
and by private subscription raising a
reward fund which now totals more
than two thousand dollars.
One negro under arrest has been
identified by two of the white women
but the police say their evidence
against the man is only circumstantial
and they are holding him while max
ing further Investigations. The negro
made one futile attempt to escape
while under questioning at police
headquarters during which he denied
his guilt.
The man-hunt has proceeded in the
most fashionable part of the city and
close by the homes of many well
known men. One assault which took
place not far from the celebrated
Chevy Chase golf club aroused the
men of the vicinity and nearby Mary
land and they formed searching par
ties, raised reward fund and pla-
carded that part of the city with dis
criptions of the negro.
For two days searching parties
combed the woods Immediately at the
entrance of the National Geological
Park, where the negro was said to
have been hiding.
Thescene is near Secretary Tu-
multy's house, and the homes of other
nationally known figures are nearby.
Meanwhile, other attacks on white
women by negroes took place m
other sections of the city and citizens
associations held meetings at which
the police were denounced for ineffi-
cheney. There were threats that if
the negro should be caught the search
ers would take justice into their own
hands.
The police have counseled respect
for law and order, and maintained
that Congress does not appropriate
enough funds to make policemen
enough available to adequately police
the city. Police officers are inclined
to charge the crime wave largely to
the results Of bootlegging by negroes
since the dry laws became effective.
So far as is known, the assailant
of at least three women is unaccount-
ed for. The man held is charged only
with assault upon two. Ihere mas
been some talk of Congressional in
vestigation of the police.
The sixth attack of its kind in
four weeks was reported to the police
early this morning. A woman employe
of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, the plant where the govern
ment makes stamps and currency, re-
ported she had been seized by two ne
groes at a street corner but beat
them off with her umbrella and alarm
ed them with her screams.
AS part of the police crusade to
meet the situation, orders were given
today to round up all negro loiterers
on street corners who fail to give
satisfactory accounts of themselves. |
