LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The fact that SO many government war time
Liberty Loan bonds have been placed on the
market has brought the price of these securi-
ties to low level.
1t is known that large per cent Of the pro-
ceeds of these bond sales has been used in spec
ulative and non-essential investments.
We believe that in the very near future the
market price of these bonds will advance.
And we therefore would advise you to hold
TO these good government securities.

Concjators Break Wide Treaty Goes To Floor Of The Seat
Martens Says SoUietNot
 NolU Anxious to Spread Doctrines Am1ongNation
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Soviet Russia, transformed by assured sue cess of its leadership at home, is no longer fired by the missionary zeal which led its agents and emissaries during the first months of its exist ence to preach its principles through out the world, Ludwig Martens. self styled ambassador from that coun- try, told a senate committee today. The soviet republic at present, he said, does not care what kind of gov ernment other people have and has indulgcd in general revolutionary propaganda only when it was on the defensive and hard pressed by na- tions that had armies in the field against it.
 Today it is strong enough to fight the world It has abandoned the principle first promulgated, to the eff feet that it can be maintained only by destruction of other governments which recognize propetty rights and capitalistic organizations.
 These statements Martens made under oath in response to questions from Chairman Moses and Senator Borah of Idaho. Martens denied all connection with revolutionary move mehts in the United States, though admitting some knowledge of them He said they were purely American, arising out of American conditions, and as soviet agent, he had not helped or financed them or their fol- lowers.
 When ~the committee demanded copies of government instructions, former Senator Hardwick of Geor- gia, attorney for the soviet bureau, argued that to give them might dis close the code" in which the soviet foreign office corresponds with Mar tens. which should be entitled to inn munity. but promised, notwithstand- ing, to furnish them.

MIDDLE CLASS IN ENGLAND IS
 DOOMED
CB. Associated Press,

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Sir H. Rider Haggard, the author, believes the middle classes of England are on the road to ruin" This opinion he ex- pressed in a letter to the general secretary of the Middle Classes Un- ion, regretting that other work pre- vented him from assuming the presi- dency of a branch of the union.
 II sympathize fully with your movement" he wrote, The middle classes, by which I take to mean all beneath the rank of Peers who do not actually earn their living by the work of their hands are, without doubt on the road to ruin. Ow- ing principally, or at any rate very largely to the incredible expense of rearing and educating children their birthrate is decreasing in a most alarming fashion and probably is now exceeded by their deathrate"
 lie declared that agalnSt these classes the profiteer is given free hand and that under pretence of nebulous Anti-Dumping Bill. Pthey are now threatened with the loss of the blessings of free trade which alone enables many with fixed, or dwindling incomes, to live at all" He said that only combination to pro- tect themselves and their interests could save them.
 If the middle classes remain dis united and in consequence are bullied and plundered to death, as happened to the Curiales before the fall of the Roman Empire, 1 am sure that with them will disappear the wealth and the ancient greatness of our coun- try" he concluded.

Hitchcock Says COP. Revolt Is Cause of Move
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The question of peace treaty notifications was flung back to the senate floor with the virtual collapse today of the bipartisan conference.
 The end came with swiftness after Senator Lodge. republican leader, had informed democrats, led by Senator Hitchcock, that there would be no change in the reservations on the Monroe Doctrine and Article x.
 Democrats walked out for con- ference, agreeing to reply to Senator Lodge early tomorrow.
 First news of the break was given by Senator Hitchcock in a statement which broadly hinted that the failure Of republicans to give ground in an effort to reach compromise was due to the threatened revolt of re- publicans. Senate leaders admitted tonight they could see no hope of agreement. This meant, they said that the question would be fought out on the floor, beginning probably tomorrow.

 It was stated authoritatively that relations between the United States and Armenia under the Turkish peace treaty were being considered, but no decision had been made to ac- cord recognition.
