Let's Continue to Save.

During the war the Government
offered War Savings Stamps, paying
about per cent, as a method of saw
ing for people of small means. Since
the war, and to take the place of War
Savings Stamps, the Government Of
fered Treasury Savings Certificates in
denominations Of $25, 500 and $1,000,
now sold to investors at $20.5O, $50 and
$500. They pay per cent if held until
maturity, five years from the date of
issue. About $685., 100000 of War Saw
ings Stamps, series of 1918, will become
due January 1st next, and the Govern
ment now offers to issue Treasury Saw
ings Certificates in exchange for them.
affording the owners an opportunity to
continue a safe investment with good
interest. Saving has furnished the life
blood for many nations and insures
prosperity to the people. The Govern
ment is doing everything possible to
encourage saving in the United States
by offering sound and attractive securi-
ties for the investment of small sums.
If you want to save, and insure your
future, it would pay you to investigate

day that spray of oil was coming
with the gas, but this report proved to
lie in error. The well blew in about 30
minutes after the day crew had left
and only the night watchman was on
duty, as they had relieved the night
crew. This promises quite a bit of
action in this territory and would seem
to push the field still further west. 1t

not. 1t is reported that they had just

Lloyd George and Haig

A sequel to Lloyd Georges fall is
the publication in England Of book
by Lieutenant Colonel j. II. Boras-
ton and G. II. B. Dewar, entitled
"Sir Douglas Haig's Command" "
Lieutenant Colonel Boraston was
Haig's military secretary and Mr..
Dewar is the editor Of "The Nine
teenth Century and After" Their
work is a tribute to Haig's general
ship and a defense Of the Fled Mar
shal against criticisms emanating
from partisans Of Lloyd George.
There was a feud Of long standing
between Lloyd George and Hlic.
Captain Peter Wright published Ia
year a book, "At the Supreme War
Council" in which he savagely ac-
cused Haig Of insubordination and
incompetency. He said that Haig
had persistently frustrated Allied
unity Of command in France. His
refusals 10 accept directions from
Nivelle in 1917 and from Foch when
the latter was acting as adviser 70
the Allied War Council early in 1913
"rested on a character Of iron tenac-
ity and the most gentlemanly, at
tractive surface, and on a mind both
obtuse and extraordinarily slow" He
added: "The commander in chief
was knightly figure, with all the
bearing and temper Of a leader, but
on a very low plane Of human in
telligence. as elderly cavalrymen
sometimes are"
Lloyd George said Of this book, ac-
eording to the jacket Of the Ameri-
can edition: "This is the best thing
that has yet been written about the
war" II Is not surprising, there
fore, that Messrs. Boraston and De
war engage in a violent counter at
tack on the ex-Premier, charging
him with ignorant meddling in the
military conduct Of the war and with
failure to give proper support to the
British High Command.
There can be no doubt that Lloyd
George distrusted Haig's leadership.
New-York tribune., 1922-12-04

He was far from satisfied with the
results Of the costly British opera
tons on the Somme In 1916 and OF
the exhausting offensives Of 1917 be-
fore Arras, ip Flanders and before
Cambria. In 1918 he wanted TO
carry the war into Palestine under
other leadership. He had become On
fastener In strategy at the moment
when Ludendorff had decided TO
make his final great effort In the
West.
Whatever may have been Lloyd
Georges dislike for new sacrifices in
the West, he was wrong in letting
Haig's rife strength run so peril
ously low in the winter Of 1918.
This error led 70 the defeat and dis
ruption Of the British Fifth Army
Lefore St. Quentin. British military
history records no greater reverse
than this. Haig cannot be held re-
sponsible for il, because he had
asked for reserves and did not get
them, although they were rushed
across the Channel after Cough had
been driven back on Amiens.
Haig's case has never been stated
fully. He preserved silence while
Lloyd George was in power. But
the time has come to throw some new
light on the unfortunate differences
between him and the government in
LONDON. 1t has never been ex-
planned, for instance, why, IL Lloyd
George had no faith in Hsig, he did
not remove the latter in favor Of
commander whom he regarded as
more subordinate and competent.
New-York tribune., 1922-12-04

an honest man sent TO lie abroad
for the good Of his country The
translation makes the joke. An en-
emy of wotton's raked up the epi-
gram and faunted II before James
I, "the wisest fool In Christendom,'
with the suggestion that English
diplomacy had been insulted.
James was Scotch. The jest did
not appeal 10 him. Wctton was
obliged 10 write two elaborate apollo
gies before he was restored to favor.
He and King James are the only two
from their time 10 ours who haven't

More Truth Than Poetry

The New Diplomacy

"A French statesman tays the chefs Of
France are more valuable au pIopagan-
dlsts than all her diplomata.l
Why send the triumphant Fascist
in Rome
Some Yankee Of statesmanlike
look
Who may have diplomacy under
his dome
But don't understand how TO
cook?
The sort Of a man that we need
over there
To make 'em feel friendly and
sunny,
Is the plenipotentiary who can
prepare
Crisp Waffes, and serve 'em
with Honey.
George Harvey is doing the best
that he can
At the dignifed Court Of ST.
James.
But he isn't exactly the kind Of a
man
That a nation Of diners ac-
claims.
To win from old England favor
ing smile
We have need Of man on the
job,
Who can fry them a Chicken in

And serve il s, Corn on the

We'd make better friends with
the soft-mannered Japs
II we'd send them the right
kind Of men,
Good. handy, domestic and deft-
handed chaps,
Who could cook 'em a Pie now
and then.
They'd soon learn to love Us,
whatever befell,
For our skillful Ambassadors

As soon as they bowed (as they
would to the spell
OF Syrup and brown Buckwheat
Cakes.
And France, though she has very
little 20 learn
In the cookery line from a
Yank,
Could hardly regard with a cold
unconcern
A Chesapeake Shad on a Plank.
And in Southern Spoon Bread

Not 20 mention Virginia Ham.
For which we are sure that the

Would heartily thank Uncle

A Wholesome Example

IL is within the power Of an able
lawyer to do infinite good. It is also
within his power 70 do infinite harm.
As soon as he acquires a reputation
his counsel is widely sought and
sedulously followed by laymen who
employ him. When he connives at
law-breaking and seeks TO show his
clients how they can practice dis
honesty and "get away with il" he
becomes & danger to the community.
Such a man, who served a year In
thu penitentiary because Of his part
iri the recent conspiracy 70 keep up
building prices. has just been sus-
s,ended from practice for three
sears. The contention Of his friends
mat he did only what any trust
lawyer does right along Is non
,,ense. Any lawyer, trust" OF
amt ti-trust," who breaks the law Is
even more deserving Of punishment
han a layman, for he knows the
law and is sworn 70 uphold it. And
whenever attorneys counsel clients
70 criminal sets they arc almost in
