FINANCING VICTORY LOAN
WILL help INDUSTRY
Must Be Distributed Among All the
= People-Every Americans Savings
Needed to Keep Wheels
Turning.

Julius ROsenwald, president of
Sears, Roebuck & Co., and a dollar a
year government employee, stated re-
Gently that Germany surrendered, not
so much because she was beaten as
because her military chiefs saw the
impending whirlwind Of American
men, munitions, airplanes, food and
supplies, which they knew meant an
Inhalation in the not distant future for
the German armies.
"The Victory loan-it should be
called the Thanksgiving loan-which
pays part of the bill for that prep
aration that saved the lives of hun
drcds Of thousands of American boys,
can in no wise be weighed against the
destruction of life which our prepara-
lions averted," Mr.. Rosenwald pointed
ont.
The loan must be financed before
industry can 60 ahead. Proper financ-
Ing Of the loan means that it must be
distributed among all the people,
mears that the savings Of every Amer
lean must be loaned to his government.
Unless such wide distribution Is ef-
fected-and 1t can only be effected
with the assistance of the great or
ganlzations which have been built up
during the past drives-the financial
houses will have to absorb the loan.
Such a result would be disastrous to
the business world, for funds needed
in trade reconstruction would have to
be withdrawn from circulation and in
terest rates would mount so high that
private concerns would find 1t almost
impossible to borrow for their neces-
stiles.
II bespeak the cooperation Of ev-
cryone who lent aid to the govern
ment in the past drives. I am fully
convinced that the American people
will respond as readily To this appeal
for funds as they have to the past. 1
am sure that statesmen and organizers
who during the last drive found SO
ready response that they sold nearly
81, 600 100000 worth Of government Sc
curities will find an even more pleas
ant reception when they seek subscrip-
tons to the Victory loan," Mr.. Rosen-
wald concluded.

IF" OR SURPRISING"
BY GEORGE ABE.

On October l, 1913, you, being a
wise man and having read with care
the opinions of military experts, knew !:
I. That the great war was going to
last until far into the summer of 1919.
2. That the casualties among the
American soldiers would be increasing
~ heavy up to the final moment of
fighting. IN
3. That, as result of the growing
magnitude of the world struggle, tn
government of the United States would
call upon us for at least three huge
bond subscriptions during 1910.
If you believed otherwise you were

and the masters of food supplies
thought they knew that Germany
would stand out for many months.
Now then, to suppose a case. If
some one had come to you on october
]. with n proposition to end the war
within six weeks by complete and
overwhelming victory on condition that
you would subscribe literally for Vic
tory bonds inthe spring of 1919, you
would have replied as follows:
"Say, end the war this fall and stop
the killing and manning of our boys,
and put the kaiser out Of business and
compel Germany to accept our terms
and let the American soldiers begin to
head for home, and I'll pledge my last
dollar for the loan that is needed to
clean up expenses"
That's how you felt on October I,
1918, and now that all the miracles
have come to pass, are you going to
be grateful or forgetful?
You are now asked to help finance
Thy merely lending on favorable terms
and not giving) the final and gigantic
expenditures which brought victory
months ahead of the schedule.
II we had lost the war, what would
you be paying this spring and to
whom? How's your memory? Did you
feel certain, just year ago today,
that Germany could be prevented from
debating terms to the whole world?
How about loyal parent who re-
fuses to pay doctor bill because the
child gets well instead of dying?
When you tackle big job do you
stick to the finish, or do you 80 fishing
and permit some more dependable
man to come in and put on the k1of
and chimney?
Do YOU experience symptoms Of
morality only when the doctor is seat
ed at the bedside?
When you start to 60 somewhere,
do YOU travel four-fifths of the way
snd then flop by the wayside?
Can you be patriotic when the band
Is not playing?
We are settling up a big job, so
don't queer your war record at the
eleventh hour by being gutter.

LITTLE CHANGE IN BRITTANY
Land Of Romance Today Much the
Same as II Has Been Through
the Centuries.

Brittany since the early times OF
history has been the land of romance,
saints and archbishops. knights and
ladies, hobgoblins and wizards. cru
saders and fairies. All of these
are with beautiful impartiality scat
tered through the antique records Of
rAmorique, as this region used to be
called. Even the tabled sunken city
OF Is and the lost continent of Atlantis
are supposed TO lie off It's coast. First
cousins OF the Irish and the Welsh. the
Inhabitants are by tradition, birth and
character race apart. silent, super
stitiOus and devOut and obstinate. Fine
sailors and tilers OF the soil, the Bre-
tons have remained much as their
earlier ancestors were. Their ma
tive costumes prevail throughout all
villages and farmhouses. The men
In blue blouses and straw hats trim

and longcloth waistcoats, embroidered
In bright colors, loaded with but

ern, and the white headdresses anc
heavy black serge costumes of the
women are the same In cut and quality
as In the days of the famous Queen
Anne Of Brittany.

GILLIGAN TRIAL
 COST OVER $52,OO0
That Is the Amount It Took for State to Send Woman to Prison
 for Life.

Hartford, July 16.-It has cost the state more than S52, 1000 to send Mrs Amy E. Archer Gilligan to prison for life, admittedly guilty of murder in the second degree for administering arsenic poison to an inmate of the Archer home for elderly people in Windsor
 Mrs. Gilllgan was arrested in MaV 1916, and the criminal costs of her in dlctment and first trial in June, 1917, were S25,171; her appeal from convic- tlon to the supreme court cost the state $2,625 as the state paid S1,4O1 for printing the record and $1.2OO to Josiah H. Peck for arguing the appeal in Mrs. Gilligan's interest Aside from these costs there was the expense of the first Gilligan jury, something about $1,5O0, and $1,O0O at least more for stenographers' work.
 The trial in MiddletOwn last month resulted in criminal costs of $2O,444 with an additional jury cost of ap- prOXimately $1,000 and $70O for stenOgraphers' work. Mrs. Gilligan' S jail board is figured in the costs, but she was in state prison in Wethersf1eld in 1917, after being sentenced to be hanged, until April, 1918, when the supreme court granted her a new trial
 Medical men were the one big ex- pense of the trials. Dr. Victor C. Vaughan of Ann Arbor, Mich, poison expert got s12,195 for both trials, all but S2,000 of the amount being chargeable to the first case Dr. Ar thur J. Wolff of Hartford, another poison expert, received $1O,3s0 for both trials, his fee in the second one being $2,000, the same as Dr. Vaughans. To alienists was paid about S11,000.

 Dr. Purney did transport work for a period of three or four months then was stationed at Chroncliffe, England. His work consisted of examining of home returning Canadian soldiers and nurses. Later he was sent to Witley Camp and was there during the riot His arrival here will be received with pleasure by his hosts of friends
 After about Is months service wit the U. $. army in France, as a captain in the Medical Corps, Dr. Waterman Lyons, of this city, has received his discharge and will again resume his practice here.

 Upon landing in France pr. Lyons was sent to Rimaucourt, Marne, for two days and from there he went to headquarters, Base Hospital 15, at Chaumont, where pr.
