SpecioI Bonds
For Old People

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Dec. Il
The Treasury has bond especially
for the older people, but many OF
them don't know about it, the Ag-
ricultural Section of the War FL
nance Division points out. This is
the current income series G-Bond
paying 2l2 per cent interest per
annum every SIX months and ma
turing in IL years.
Any person who needs regular
income from interest on their money
should consider the G-Series. Nc
income is more certain than the
Treasury check which is mailed ~
cry months to owners of G Bonds
For a current income Government
Bond maturing in II years, 2ia pei
cent is high rate of interest. the
Treasury points out
The G Bond is the ideal invest.
ment for the farmer past SIS who
might be retiring in less than Il
years. Farmers are not now includ
ed in Social Security. Few Of then
have an annuity Of any kind. Ii
old age they must live off the in
come of their property and invest
ments.
Current income is not the only c
Bond feature that appeals to thu
older investor. Like the popular
Bonds the G Series has fixed re
/ demption values. They can b,
cashed any time after s month
from issue. Counting interest al
ready received, this cash redemp
/ ton value is always more than cost
In the event of owners death tn
estate can redeem G Bonds at ful
cost price without any deduction

STRASBOURG, Nov. 25-Ameri-

holding ali of Strasbourg except a
600-yard-deep German bridgehead
around highway and railway bridges
leading across the Rhine to Kehl.
Allied troops in the city have
electricity-thanks to the Germans,
who are clinging stubbornly to their
bridgehead. The huge power plant
serving Strasbourg is within the
enemy held area and the Germans
haven't turned off the power yet.
Eight German artillery batteries
also are in the bridgehead and they
have been lobbing shells into the
Allied-held sectors all day.
Americans, French regulars and
members of the French Forces OF
the Interior are rounding up pris-
oners, 10000 of whom already have
been taken, including 5000 civilians.
Cathedral Saved.
German planes over the city to-
day were received hotly by our anti
aircraft batteries. They dropped no
bombs, SO apparently were only sent
on accommodating.
Strasbourg was not damaged
much in the occupation, and its
famous cathedral also escaped Sc
we're injury.
A French flag flies from the
steeple, and the cathedral already
is being prepared for the first mass
since the Allied occupation.

Navy Reported Planning
Equal Status for Reserves
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Army and Navy Journal says
it is understood the Navy soon will
establish a policy placing reserve
officers on an equal basis with An
napolis graduates in rank standing.
AS an inducement toward keep
ing reserve officers in the postwar
Navy, the Journal said, the Navy
Department is expected to ask
Congress for legislation providing
that when reservists are accepted
for regular commissions their terms
Of active service will date from the
time they were commissioned in
the reserve.
Peacetime promotions in the Navy
are keyed largely to length of active
service. Without the proposed leg
islation, a reserve officer entering
the regular Navy would not be en-
titled to count as active service the
time he spent as q reservist.

:lonnaI|y Fayors Delay
lin Defining Powers
OF Security Delegate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Connally ID. of Texas
yesterday proposed that Congress
&delay defining the powers of an
American delegate until the Senate
approves an enabling treaty for q
projected world security organiza-
stion. Two prominent Republicans
backed him up.
{ The Texan, chairman of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
told reporters he thought Congress
could and must write it's own ticket
on the extent of authority to be
given this Nations representative in
a world council" But he said it
should not let controversy over this
question inperil the peace keeping
structure for which the foundations
were laid at the Dumbarton Oaks
conference.
I'VE can set up the powers of the
American delegate in separate leg
islation after We have approved the
general plan for security organiza-
tion," Senator Connally said. That
is the way it should be done. Con-
gress can say exactly how much
authority, If any at all, such del
egate could have to order American
military forces into action to prevent
or repel aggression"
This question of authority has
developed as one of the most con-
troversial likely to be encountered
by Congress in authorizing Ameri-
can participation in an internation-
al organization. 1t played a part in
the recent political campaign, with
President Roosevelt advocating wide
latitude for such a delegate, within
the framework of constitutional
processes.
In separate interviews, Senators
Austin (R. of VT, and Ball, (R. of
Mimi, agreed with Senator Con-
nally that the issue should be
settled by separate legislation, apart
from consideration of the treaty all
expect to grow out of a first-rank
conference of all of the United Ma
tlons some time early next year.
> Senator Austin said it ought not
to be difficult for Congress to find
a way for the American delegate to
act quickly, without turning over to
him Congress right to declare war.
or placing him in a position where
he could act so that only a formal
declaration of war would result.

'Conscription Crisis
Faced in Canadian
House Tomorrow
" the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Nov. 25.-Canada' s
overseas conscription issue is due to
come to a new crisis Monday when
the House of Commons debates a
motion to laid the government in
its policy of maintaining a vigorous
war effort"
The question was not settled by
this weeks order -in-council per-
mitting employment in foreign
service of drafted men. who here
tofore have been subject only to
duty in Canada.
The newspaper LIE Soleil, in
Quebec, center of resistance to the
conscription movement, said today
that with few exceptions French
speaking members of the House of
Commons will vote against the King
government if the prime minister
moves his confidence notion
Parliament to End April II.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King placed a motion on the House
of Commons order paper today pro-
viding for adjournment of the pres
ent emergency session until jan
uary 81 as soon as the conscription
discussion is ended. He has said
the life of the present Parliament
will end April II in any case.
The depth of the dissent over
conscription, however, could force
an earlier dissolution and a general
election.
While the present state of flux
makes party lines in Commons in
definite, the latest previous standing
gave an overwhelming majority to
Mr.. Kings Liberal party, with 161
members compared with 80 for the
Progressive Conservatives next most
numerous, and a total opposition of
70.
Since then, four Liberal members
have announced their shift to the
opposition, but since the opposition
Is divided on conscription, it would
require tremendous changeover
among the Liberals themselves to
unseat the King government.
Shouts Charge of Treason.
One of these was Wilfred La Croix,
member from Quebec, who shouted
in French during yesterdays session
that the King governments new
policy for conscription was treason"
to Quebec province. He used the
French word 'trahison."
La Croix said French speaking
members of the cabinet had not
kept their promise to the people of
Quebec in allowing the government
to authorize overseas service for
drafted men.
Heat over the conscription issue
was not confined to Parliament.
Nearly 1000 soldiers paraded last
night through the streets of Vernon,
B. c., and an unidentified captain
was knocked down when he tried to
stop the marchers, who shouted,
Down with conscription," and
"Conscript wealth and industry as
well as manpower."
Defense headquarters refused
comment today and indicated it
was regarded as a local matter. It
was understood, however, that disci-
pline was being tightened in camps
throughout Canada where draftees
are stationed.
In Chicoutimi, Que, Union
Jack yesterday was torn from its
staff during half-hour demonstra-
ton by several hundred youths.
