BANKS REPORT $32,25O IN ~"
SALE5-D2iVE is NOW BEING
BOOSTED FOR SPEEDY "OVER
THE TOP" RESULTS.
YESTERDAYS TOTAL SALE.

During OttaWas first days drive $32 :
25g of the $62l 900 quota of Liberty
bonds We're disposed Of, leaving a total
of S5S9,35O to be sold before the SAFE
closes. The bonds sold yesterday
We're mostly of small denomination.
and were purchased by persons whc
were anxious to do their bit in assum-
ing the war debt as soon as possible.
This morning the sale dragged along
through the early banking hours, but
by afternoon business had picked up,
and it is thought the sale today will
exceed that of yesterday. The local
bond statesmen are planning for rec
ord breaking sales during the last
three days of the week, when an eff
fort will be made TO go over the top
by voluntary subscriptions
Victory bond posters are beginning
to make their appearance in Windows
and on the windshields of machines
and occasionally Victory bond but
ton is seen on the coat of the happy
purchaser. BY the latter part of the
week it is thought the buttons will be
as numerous as they were at the
close of former bond drives.
Bankers today We're urging their
friends to not wait until during the
heavy sales at the latter part Of the
week, but to do their bond buying
early.
Brick Employees Boost Sale.
The second day Of the Liberty Loan
drive has been more than satisfactory
to the local officers. The local banks
have been particularly active today in
giving out the first honor buttons.
The Chicago RetOrt and Fire Brick
Company employees have. given the
loan big boost Secretary and Gen
eral Manager AhrbecKer. who is also
director of the Chamber of Com
merce, has been making a thorough
canvass of the employees of this bic
concern, and while he has not finished
the job he already reports a subscrip
ton of ST, 800, which is remarkable
record for this institution. Mr.. Abr
becker feels confident that when all
the employees have been visited tha
subscriptions to $4,000 will be turned
into the different banks
There is no use in delaying the sub
scriptions a single day II is hoped
and confidently believed by Chairman
Clarence Griggs that soliciting com
mituees will not be required to put
Ottawa's quota away over the top.
1t is up to the patriotic generosity OF
the people OF this community to finish
the job and live up to the reputation
that has been established in all forme,
campaigns.

Sticklin, Dana Palmer and Edward

gettogether meeting since election,
the object OF the informal gathering
being to lay plans for giving Otta-

The meeting place is being kept Sc

new officers prefer to hold wholly

All five Of the newly elected men
appear to the casual spectator and
even to their political enemies to
have but one aim and that is to give
Ottawa an administration which will
reflect credit upon the men who ad-
minister the city's affairs, and at
he same time, one the people can
point to with pride in years to come.
With this as the nucleus for their
inauguration the quintette chosen to
represent the people during the next

The President is now facing stu
alton at home much altered so far as
Congress is concerned from that he
faced from March 4, 1913, to March 4
last. Control on Capitol Hill has
passed to the republicans. AS the
leader of his party he must contend
with them for the next two years; and
already the next presidential cam
paign is beginning to take shape.
This will require the President to
keep in the closest touch with all that
goes on. in Congress and out. He must
have abundant reports, and the latest
news. The viewpoints of democratic
! leaders, in Congress and out, will have
much value, and should be taken and
considered And especially in matters
of legislation and legislative proceed
ings will it be necessary for the Presi
dent to consult with those on the
ground and familiar with such work.
That the President is coming home
to do his best for his party's success
next year is not doubted by anybody;
and that he cannot play his game with
out advice and assistance, matched as
he Will be against politicians of great
ability and large experience, is quite
as generally believed.

Yesterday at Versailles.

An impressive scene was enacted
yesterday at Versailles. The German
delegates to the peace conference were
met by commission representing the
allies. There was no ceremony, mere
ly formal exchange of credentials.
The proceedings lasted less than five
minutes, and at the conclusion the
chief of the German delegation was so
overcome as to require support.
What a difference from the way the
German high command expected to en-
ter the peace session! There was no
clank of saber, there was no glitter of
uniform. The German commissioners
wore civilian clothes, and likewise the
representatives of the allies. 1t was
not military affair. 1t was the first
scene of the climax of legal proee-
dure.
Had the German plans succeeded in
1914, had the kaiser's armies marched
u tiluuipAdutly tHiOuSu LAC lcACn uC-
fenses to Paris, with a collapse of the
allied forces, far different spectacle
would have been presented at Yer
sailles. The salon at Trianon would
have been ablaze with German colors,
a-glitter with German uniforms, the
famous silver helmet dominating the
scene. Rapacious terms would have
been presented to the French and hu
initiating terms to their allies. There
would have been no concessions, no
softness. and but little consideration
for the feelings of the defeated.
Evidently the most scrupulous cour-
tesy is to be shown to the German
delegates But it will be merely the
courtesy of frmness, not an indication
Of concession. The Germans are in
Paris for the purpose Of receiving and
signing treaty in the framing Of the
terms of which they will have had no
part. But there will be no cordiality
in the relations at Paris. That scene
at the Trianon yesterday was sym
boil of the relations that will prevail for
many years.

Secretary Daniels London Speech

At joint luncheon of the Anglo
American Society and the Sulgrave In
stitute. given in London yesterday,
Secretary Daniels said respecting the
American Navy and its future:
We have great foreign trade,
which is bound to grow, and carry
ing trade that is bound to grow with it.
We also have obligations growing out
of the league of nations covenant. The
United States does not aspire to pos
cess sEcl, sea strength that we can i'm
pose our decrees arbitrarily upon free
peoples. But if the evolution os the
league of nations is not such as its
friends in Europe and America hope,
If competitions in armaments must
continue, repugnant as it will be to
the American people, II will be essen
tial from the dictates of elementary
national interest that they shall build
and maintain fleet commensurate
with the needs of national defense and
international obligations
These are sentiments to which every
body in this country can afford to sub
scribe. They are warranted by the
facts and absolutely non partisan.
They breathe a national purpose for a
national object, ard if that object is
attained the nation MI benefit.
/ An adequate American Navy will
put no nation on war notice, but all
.rations on peace notice. We shall not
z
sIefense in case of need. We shall de-
fend ourselves if attacked, and be pre-
pared to do so successfully. The war
has taught us the necessity for thor
ough preparedness for war on both
land and sea.

ter. The only difference ia that as ut
! tered now they are fortified by inves-
legations the Secretary has been max
ing during his sojourn abroad. He
went abroad for the purpose of dis
cussing naval matters with the British
the French and the Italian authorities
and he is now bringing his visit to a
close. So that we have in these words
just spoken in London the assurance
that Mr.. Daniels has found nothing in
the situation abroad to cause him to
moderate or qualify the views he an
nounced months ago.
The Navy supply bill was among
those that failed at the recent session
of Congress. 1t was caught in the jam
that marked the close of that session.
Hence, provision for the Navy viii be
among the matters the new Congress
must promptly attend to.
As yet there have been no pronounce
ments .on the subject by the re3ubli
cans. But it is of record that they
have always been friendly to the Navy,
and while in power have given sub
stantial evidences of that feeling.
While the war was in progress they
voted for all the supplies for war pur-
poses, and now that the war is over,
Sure, they will finish the job
There would be no sort of peril, but
only assurance of safety to the coun-
try, in Navy of size making us

The President and Conferences.

Not the least interesting Of the many
observations made on the subject Of
the Presidents activities in Paris is that
they are developing in him taste for
| conferences. He is attending a con-
ference, and hence must confer. The
other fellows viewpoint does matter,
and must be taken and considered.
| OF course. this has reference to the
taste the President has exhibited at
home. Much private complaint and
some open criticism have had for their
subject his aloofness He has kept
even the leaders of his own party some
what at distance One of them puts
the matter in this wise: He spends
too much of his time in executive ses-
sion with himself. He ought to open
I the doors and let US all in"
| How much of this spirit is due to the
Presidents temperament and how much
to his training could not be easily de-
termined. But that he has been en-
couraged in exhibiting it since enter
! ing the White House by the compla-
scency Of his party is fair inference
from the fact that. for one reason or
another-personal pride operating may.
be in some cases-the democratic lead.

but small audible murmuring.

itself upon the Presidents return

Who Made the Bombs?

! The suggestion has been made that
ceived by few of those to whom they
were addressed bear evidence of being
of German origin, possibly imported
| from that country. 1t is stated that
anarchists in this country could not
obtain the illuminate of mercury used
! in their manufacture. The bombs are
strikingly similar to German marine
mines that were laid along the Ameri-
can coast during the war
1t is not at all unlikely that either
the bombs or the material for making
them came from Germany. It is by
no means improbable that this dia-
bolical plot was of German inspira-
ton. 1t is quite in keeping with the
German method of propaganda, which
was so strikingly in evidence here be-
! fore the United States entered the
war. Nor is it inconceiyable that the
present German government should be
willing to see the United States
| thrown into turmoil through a series
of crimes, employing for this purpose,
by devious ways, such willing tools as
the anarchistic radical organizations
that have gained foothold in Amer
ica.
! Yet it is not necessary to seek Ger
man origin for the crime. The In
dustrial Workers of the World have
preached violence. Unattached indi-
vidual radicals have urged terrorism.
The bomb has been openly proclaimed
as the proper weapon of the prole
tariat. Whether the materials for
making the bombs could be obtained
in this country or not, the fact remains
that they were at least mailed here
and that somebody in this country
prepared the list Of intended victims
and managed the program of distribu-
ton.
An officer of the newly formed labor
party Of Chicago has declared that
the discovery Of the bombs was "a
dastardly plot to discredit the labor
and radical movement, a plant by the
hirelings of Wall street." That has a
familiar sound. 1t is an old cry. It
may fool a few misguided followers,
but it will not impress the public. 1t
is so utterly absurd that it reacts upon
those who utter it.
