ing stand because the city recent.
IL issued a permit for what they
termed a "pro-German tag day"
scores OF overseas veterans who
took part in the armistice day pa
rade here refused to march past
the stand. After vainly trying to
make a speech which was drowned
by the cheers OF the crowd Mayor
Babcock left the stand and the pa
rade proceeded.
When the permit was granted for
the tag day which was to raise
money for children in the central
empire it was greeted by storm
of protest from soldier organiza'
lions and while Mayor Babcock re-
fused to withdraw the permit the
society back OF the movement H.
nally decided to cancel all its ar
rangements and collect no money.
Meantime pressure on the mayor
was without result and last night
he issued a statement In which ne
said that whether right or wrong
the permit has been issued" and
that he was the mayor of all the
people OF the city Of Pittsburgh.
This did not meet the demands OF
the soldiers and today when line
OF automobiles carrying a thou
sand or more men who had been
wounded reached the reviewing
stand on which stood Mayor Bah
cock the parade stopped. Men
climbed out Of the machines and
the assembled crowds cheered
them. They made detour OF a
block G.. two around the stand and
then up the line Of marCh as though
nothing had happened. The word
was carried back along the line
of carchers and post after post OF
the American Legion followed the
example OF the wounded as they
reached the tand. Judge Paulson

have none OF It. They cheered the
veterans and after more than halt
an hour Of confusion the mayor
walked down from the stand.

Your Liberty Bond.

The United States government Dor
rowed money from YOU TO finance the
war. You hold the governments prom
Use to pay you back. This promise Is
called a Liberty bond or Victory note
On this bond is stated the conditions
under which the government borrowed
the money from yon.
For instance: If you hold bond OF
the third Liberty loan, il states that
on April IL and Oct. Is of each year
until maturity, You will receive inter
est on the amount you paid for the
bond. Other issues bear other rates Of
interest and other maturity dates, all
of which are clearly stated on the
bond.
Now. if you keep your bond until the
date when the government pays you in
full for il, YOU do not need to worry
if. in the meantime, the price IS low
one day or high the next. You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your agree
ment with each other, and neither will
lose by it.
On the other hand, il You sell your
Liberty bond now, you will find that
the man YOU sell il to will not give
you a dollar for every dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because 50 many people are Of
fering to sell their bonds. If the mar
ket is flooded with tomatoes, You can
buy them cheap. but if everyone is
clsmoring for tomatoes and there are
few to be had, the price goes up. The
same is true of Liberty bonds. Short
sighted people are dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that car be given TO
the owner of Liberty bond is this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
war; it is as safe and sound as the
United States government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low prices as you can afford. II you
hold them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value.
You win also receive good interest on
your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty bonds and
buy more.

The Watch on the Rhine.

II is the view of the French foreign
office, according to dispatches from
Paris. that the revolt in the Ruhr
district draws from the iron workers
rather than the Goa miners. The wish
may be the father 60 the thought; it
is coal which Germany is bound to de-
liver in prodgious quantities under the
terms Of the treaty. Whatever the
composition Of the red army" may be,
the coal miners in this same region, IL

to increase their working hours pro
vided that the output were not requi-
sitioned by foreign countries. The CON
dition was, of course, an impossible
one, since the delivery of coal is an
essential part OF the treaty. yet if min
ers refuse TO work the German govern
ment will find the treaty difficult to
carry out; an attempt TO apply labor
CONSUMPTION as in soviet Russia would
certainly cause violent revolts.
The present state of things in the
Ruhr region is quite bad enough. and
the difficulty of IL is increased by the
fact that the region is in the neutral
zone where by the terms Of the treaty
neither side IS to maintain armed
forces. The French foreign office calls
the dispatch of government forces to
put down the revolt "a direct violation
of articles AZ and AZ Of the treaty"
and technically this is the case. for
the line of disarmament runs 81 miles
east Of the Rhine. Yet circumstances
alter cases. and evidently there is no
hostile intent in suppressing a spar
tacist revolt which the allies equally
with Germany desire suppressed. The
French government iudiciously does
not intend to act in the matter indie
pendently OF its allies, which viii
doubtless call attention to the fact
that in maintaining order the Ebert
government would be rent rsnga service
