This has been so clearly demonstrated time and
time again that it is hardly necessary to refer to the

the value of publicity Does any man believe the
great Liberty Loan drives would have been successful
had it not been for the advertising carried in the

Harding forced the resignation of
Charles r. Forbes as director of the
Veterans Bureau for insubordina-
ton in connection with the sale of
government property at Perryville,
Maryland, the senate veterans COM
mittee was told today by Brigadier
General Charles f. Sawyer, personal
friend and physician of the late
president.
DIR. Sawyer explained that after
Mr.. Harding had ordered the move
ment of goods from Perryville to
stop. q number of cars had been all
lowed to so forward to the purchas-
er, tho Thompson and Kelly Conf
pany, Inc, of Boston. When this
came to the attention of the presi-
dent. who previously had told DIR.
Sawyer the sale was "a waste and
should not be tolerated." Forbes was
asked to resign.
Within a few days after the sale
was stopped in the latter part of last
January. Forbes sailed for Europe.
His friends said at the time that his
health had failed. but reports per-

German Govt. to
Make Another Levy

Berlin, Nov. 7.-(By A. P.)-The
government has decided in order to
obtain foreign currency required for
the purchase of essential foodStuffs
to make another levy. The new gold
loan will stand as security. More
over a certain amount of sugar is to
be exported, and it is believed that
the two measures will materially re-
lieve the exchange market.
The government has made prepara-
tions to begin the issue of the new
renten mark on November IS; from
that time on the needs of the Reichs
will no longer be met by the printing
of paper marks. After November Is
the existing marks may be eXchang-
ed for the gold loan. When the rem
ten mark is put into circulation, the
rate for the redemption of the paper
mark will be fixed
Further, it will be possible to re-
deem treasury bonds of the Reichs
in renten marks and to exchange pa
per marks for renten marks when
the new notes are printed.
