REMOVING THE MENACE.

II cannot help being felt that the

labor unrest in Seattle or other west

SETTLING THE DISPUTES.

One Of the very unfortunate things
in connection with the adjustment Of
the troubles in Europe is the dispo-
sition which has been shown by GER
tain of those who are aligned with
the allied nations to create trouble
between themselves regarding the al
iustments which must be made This
is especially true of the situation
which has developed between the
Poles and Czechs. The allies have
manifested their interest in getting
those people onto their feet and away
from the oppression which they have
suffered for too long a period al
ready. They are DESTROYS of the
setting up of stable governments and
the ending of strife but they are not
inclined to deal with them unjustIy
or to lend encoura cement to one for
the purpose of giving it tho advan-
tage for bearing down upon the
ether.

HOLD ONTO YOUR BONDS.

Not only are people interested in
the announcement which must be
made very soon regarding the terms
which r,!n be known both as Victory
and Thanksgiving bonds. but they are
likewise concerned about those which
they have already purchased. FOR
the latter there is certainly no reason
for alarm, but on the contrary every
reason for satisfaction for the knowl-
edge should be possessed if 1t isn't
that those bonds are the best security
to be had and tho longer they "ro
held the more valuable they are go
ing to be.
There are people who, for one rea-
son or another, have been forced to
dispose of their Liberty bonds There
are many conditions that develop
which make this necessary even
though such was not contemplated al
the time of purchase and it is well to
understand that when such disposition
is made of them it should be through
some bank or responsible firm where
full market value can be secured TO,
are many who are seeking to buy VI
these bonds at a price lower than the
market must make it apparent to the
holders that it is as much to the ad-
vantage of the latter to retain then
as it is to the buyers to get then
and especially so when. as many are
finding out, securities of far less value
and in many cases next to worthless
are being offered for them.
Warnings have been given to own,
ers to hold onto their bonds quite fire..
quently in the past and it is in keep

new secretary Of the treasury, agar
