ALASKAN QUOTA FOR NEXT LOAN
 BEEN CUT DOWN

SAN FRANCISCO. ApriI 14.-P)- According to an announcement made at Liberty Loan headquarters for the Twelfth Federal Reserve district to. day, Alaska's quota of tho Victory Loan has been placed at $s54,soo. This amount is materially smaller than that of the last Liberty Loan.
 ENTIRE LOAN REDUCED.
 WASHINGTON. April 14.-R- Carter Glass. secretary of treasury. announces today that the Victory Loan issue will be set at $4,500.000 900 instead of $6.0o0, 100000 as had been originally proposed by the de- partment. It was also stated that the quotas in each district will be about three-Quarters of that of the last Liberty Loan issue.
 The new bonds will bear interest at the rate of 4N percent. They will mature in four years. The short term and high interest features. 1t is believed, will attract many in- vestors. The department announces that the government will reject over. subscriptions.
 In the four Liberty loan drives, the local subscriptions have been largely over subscribed. The smallest over subscription was in the first drive when 1t amounted to only $Y0.000 more than the amount called for by the government. In the sec. ond Liberty loan campaign the Fair, banks district subscribed to the amount of $221,460; in the third loan drive this amount wa5 largely increased when subscriptions for this district reached the sun of $439.. $50; tho fourth Liberty loan sub scriptions marked the high water mark amounting to $463,800.
 The quota which will be required of this district for the Victory loan will probably be less than that of the fourth Liberty loan. Press des. patches say about three-fourths of the amount. On this basis 1t Is probable that the Fairbanks district will be called on for between $780,. GOO and 317S.00o

 JOURNEY TO J. s. 4.

That the Thirteenth Field Artillery, which went through some of the heav fest fighting prior to the armistics, has started from the Rhineland for the United States is the information re- ceived in a letter recently received by Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, from his nephew Vernon Foch.
 Young Foch states in his letter that his battery threw an enormous amount of metal before the fighting ended, and was "in on the death"
 His letter is as follows:
 This is the last letter I shall write you from Deutschland, as no further mail will be received for mailing after a. m. July by this division. Parts of our division are already moving. We will not move, however, until the first of next week In any case the first of August will probably find us in the good U. s. again.
 T ordered a picture of Battery "A" sent you the other day. It was taken on our ball ground just out of Ahr- weller, and gives very good view in the background of the gently rolling hills covered with vineyards, which is the most common sight here I am in the front row sitting, the thirteenth person from the right.
 q am also sending you a map of France and the Rhine province. with the route followed by us (13th F. Al marked in ink. I have made a number of side trips not marked, such as to Coblenz. up the Rhine to Oberwesel, etc.
 "On the eve of our departure it might interest you to know where we have spent our time over here. It is as follows: In France six months; in Lorraine one week; in Luxembourg one day; in Germany seven months. Dur ing the war we Battery "Ar) fired SETS shells at the Germans as follows: On the Vesle LILO (52 tons); St l Mihiel, S11 (3S tons); Mouse -Argonne 1 6,357 (302 tons)
 T also sent you a couple of news papers the other day. This paper, the "Amaroc," is the best army paper we 1 have now. It is printed in Coblenz and reaches us in the afternoon of the same day it is published "Amaroc'

come by thrift. individual economy, judicious expenditure for things ac- tually needed and lessened taxation
 Finding d scapegoat may be an amusing slnd diverting experience, but it will avail nothing. Bricks cannot be made without straw, and millers cannot make cheap flour of dear wheat, nor can bakers produce cheap bread from expensive flour made from high pri,sed wheat, by high-priced labor, using ingredients that have doubled and trebled in value since 1914.
 It cannot be done. Government may seize and operate all the elevators, mills, bakeries and retail stores in the United States, substitute politicians for business men, and professors and theorists for practical operators and still, with wheat at $2.26 a bushel, it cannot be done. It is a human im- possibility. Only a miracle can ac- complish it and congress lacks the divinity that makes miracles possible.
 Flour alld the men who make it are now under fire. Fortunately, they d. e abundantly able to prove an alibi. With some 700O mills in fierce competition, there are no trusts, combinations or gentlemen's agreements in this trade. and there is no power on earth strong enough te, compel man to sell his product at less than it costs him to make it. Give the millers cheap wheat and they will produce cheap flour; that is all there is to it.

TWENTY SONS IN WAR
fNew York sun.l


 Paris-Details have just been re- ceived from Lille of what is considered without question the greatest "eontri- button made to the war by any one single family
 The head of the family was M. Van hee. a farmer living at Reminghe. near Ypres. At the outbreak of the war he was the father of thirty-si living chil- dren, fourteen girls and twenty-five boys. Of the latter, in the course oi the war, twenty fought in the French ranks. Of these twenty, thirteen were killed and three were permanently dis charged as the result of wounds unfit ting them for further service. Still another was wounded four times dur ing the war
 In 1917 the widow of one of the sons Alfred. also was killed during the bonn bardment of Dunkerque. She left five orphans. But even before this, M Vanhee had already given his life to the Germans In October of 1914 he had gone to Lille with one of his daughters to celebrate the birthday oi a relative. On his return home the two were caught by German patrol and both shot.
