Bonds. These bonds were bought on
faith in the government and in the
belief that they were worth their face
value and that they would continue
to be worth par value. Some people
by force Of circumstances have been
compelled to part with their holdings.
When they came to cash in they are
hlandly informed by the bankers they
approach that they can only realize
from 80 to "a per cent on them as
that is the market price. - If they
are not worth their face value. why
rot? Is the promise to pay OF this
government worth less today than
when the bonds were put on the mar
ket? Or is it due to speculation of
tanks and others. If to the latter is
II fair to those who sacrificed in or
der to buy, that they now must suffer
discount in addition when their own
individual need forces them to cash
in?

GEORGE NOT WORRYING

The threatening letter sent TO King
George of England by the former
Prince Henry of Prussia and given
notification in Germany in the cam
naign TO thwart justice in dealing
with the former kaiser, is important
only as showing the nervousness OF
the Hohenzollerns and the calmness
Of the head Of the British govern
ment. The ex-prince repeats the ola
discredited charges that England
caused the war and indicates that it
would be to the interests OF the KING
10 use his influence toward prevent
ing the trial of Wilhelm. While the
threat is based ostensibly upon what
Henry thinks is evidence against the
English, including a statement attri-
bnted to George, the signing CT the
letter "Your Humble Cousin" shows
that every form of appeal Is to be
resorted to in the effort to save the
monster responsible for the war. IL
even has come out of some OF the
iunker circles that it behooves the
English sovereign, merely in the in
terest of the king business, to do what
be can to keep the fallen German
monarch from being put down too far
as if that were possible.
But George is not worrying. From
the outset of the war his opinion OF
the German royalty" has been plain.
He emphasized it more than two
years ago when he changed the name
of his family and house from Sake
Coburg to Windsor and resigned all
his German titles. What he saw OF
Zeppelin raids over London, coupled
with the reports of other atrocities,
including the numbering Of Edith Ca
veil and Captain Fryatt and the sink
ing Of passenger ships without warn
ing, make it impossible that he could
have any regard left for those back Of
the crimes. The king who Throughout:
the war was commented on for his
democracy, who attended the base
ball games introduced by the Amer'-

were some complaints, from very
