WITNESS SAYS HE SAW
10 YANKS DIE ON ROPE

Warrington, Jan. 5.-Further testi-
mony relating to the hanging of Amer

was presented to today to the senate
committee investigating charges by
Senator Watson. Democrat, Georgia
that soldiers had been executed with
cut trial.
Herbert l.. Cadenhead of Greenville,
Miss, a former service man, declared
he had witnessed ten or twelve exc.
cuti0ns at ls-sur-Tille while engaged
in transporting German prisoners by
truck in the vicinity of that place.
War department records previously
submitted to the committee showed
that two soldiers were hanged at Is.

court martial and gave the total exc.
cutions in the A. Z. f. as eleven, all
after formal trial before military
courts.
Cadenheai did not knew whether
any of the men he saw hanged had
been sent to their death without trial

Not only the leaves, but the buds and

1t. VIII you give me your kind advice on
these other investments in your reply p
B. c. A.
Answer-We agree with you that it
is not logical for person holding
numerous readily salable bonds to dis
card real estate mortgages or farm
loans because of their lack of market
ability. Farm mortgages derive their
value from the character of the prop
erty pledged, the kind and variety Of
products, the accessibility Of the mort
gagged property to active markets, the
ratio of the loan to conservative prop
crty valuation and the responsibility
of the mortgage company or banking
house issuing and guaranteeing the
mortgage. If loan is satisfactory in
all these respects it is good invest
mcnt, General Motors common stock
is the only speculative issue on your
list. Your suggestion to exchange the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Is on
account of their call feature is log
ical one, but the same reason does not
apply to the Union Pacific equipment
trust certificates. These latter mature
serially on a definite date.

International Radio Speculative

Question--Will you give me your advice
as to investing in shares OF International
Radio Corporation? The shares are offered
AZ ~ a share My grandson. who is a
radio fiend has saved s1oo and wants to
purchase 100 shares of the International
ne thinks 1t n good risk He Is only sew
cnteen years old and knows nothing about
stocks yet he feels that the International
company will make good.-C. G. II.
Answer-Stock of the Intern ational
Radio Corporation is entirely specula-
tive and particularly unsuitable, we
believe, for your grandson. If the lad
is so interested in radio that he feels
he must purchase stock of company
engaged in this industry, he should
confine such purchases to securities of
we'll established companies. Stocks of
the Radio Corporation of America, al
though speculative. than the Interna-
tiohal Radio promotion, we believe. We
agree with the statemen in the circular
that the money making possibilities in
these shares are truly enormous, but
we doubt whether this statement aptly
applies to stockholders.
