WITHDRAW FROM EUROPE

The treaty Of peace is dying hard Il
would have been dead long ago had IL
not been for those senators who pro
pose 10 follow the presidents lead, no

voted band OF democrats Is preventing
the treaty from being ratified with
amendments as proposed by Senator
Lodge; the irreconcilable group, most

type, aud few anti-administration
democrats, are preventing the treaty
from being ratified with amendments
that would bind the United States 10

threaten peace In Europe.

LIBERTY BONDS
$4,000, 900 Federal Re-
serve Profits to Be Invest
ed In Open Market.
GBy Universal SeryicrD

So great have been the earnings
of the Federal reserve banks during
the past year that the Treasury will
soon purchase $4,000, 900 worth of
Liberty bonds aid Victory, notes in
the open market with funds OBJ
tained from this source.
Under the law Federal reserve
banks are permitted to pay only G
per cent cumulative interest to
member banks. Large excess earn
ings must therefore be paid into the
Treasury sas a franchise tax. and
can be used to reduce the public
debt.
While s75,00O.00O is not a large
sum in proportion to the vast vol
ume of outstanding government Sc
curities, it IS not insignificant when
compared with the probable floating
supply of bonds in the hands of
brokers and others willing to sell
on short notice.
So substantial a purchase. it is
believed, will result in a higher
level for Liberty bond prices in the
open market.
As Liberty bonds are now selling
from 4 to II per cent less than the
government received for them. i,
will reap a considerable profit in
the purchase.

GROWTH

Population in Country for

By Universal serviceD

The rural population increased
only "a per cent from 1910 to 1920

per cent in the number of city
dwellers in the United States, ac-
cording to figures based on a pop
ulation count of sO,5S6,742 and an
nounced by the Bureau of Census
yesterday. During the preceding
decade the rural population grew
at the rate of per cent and the

For, several censuses the coun-
try has not been growing as rap
idly as the city, but the difference
appears to be greater at this CEN
sus than ever before" said Director
Sam L. Rogers.
The count to date indicates that
the population as a whole increased
at the rate of Is per cent, COM
pared with 20.9 during the preced-
ing ten years.
The >141 cities having a popuIa-
tion of over. $4,000 showed an in
crease of 26.4 per cent. Cities of

increased 26.7 per cent, or a de-
