U. S. TREASURY WANTS TO PAY. The Treasury Department is getting behind thii publicity movement upon the part of banks, newspapers and Stata Treaaurers, urging holders of Coupon Liberty Bonds to clip the coupons on them and collect the interest as Its falls due every six months. Special publicity circulars are being prepared and will soon appear in post-offices and other public places. The failure of many bond holders to clip the coupons and present them at the bank for payment is creating a large sum in the hands of the Treasurer of the United States which should be in circulation instead of money lying idle, as no provision is made by Congress for any other use of the money appropriated to pay interest on Liberty Bonds. The Treasury announcement will state that many Coupon bond holders have the idea that by failing to

clip the Coupons or withholding them for payment that they are contributing money to the Government toward helping to pay for the war, but that it is a wrong impression. The Treasurer of the United States must always hold in readiness a sum sufficient to pay every penny of interest when it falls due on Liberty Bonds, or any other Government indebtedness upon which interest is due. A main feature of the coming Treasury circular will be to urge the rublic to buy War Savings Stamps with the interest money obtained from Coupon Liberty Bonds.

AT LAST IT WAKES UP. The administration is at last beginning to awake to the stern realization that wide-spread unemployment breeds social unrest and gives the agitator an opening, and the director-general of the U. S. employment office has Issued an appeal to the country to kepe the soldiers and war workers' employment activities going at the present rate after the service reduced 80 per cent on March 25. The cut is made necessary by the failure of passage of the urgent deficiency bill, carrying $1,800.000 for the operation of the service on its present scale to une 30. The need of employment for soldiers and others has been forcibly impressed by this newspaper ever since the armistice was signed. The administration now is- urging the business, labor, welfare and all other interests in every community in which a federal employment service office must be abandoned to take over the office and its work, pending the expected support when congress meets. There are approximately 700 federal employment offices in nearly as many towns and cities throughout the country which can no longer he financed by the department of labor. Plans are now being prepared to arouse sentiment throughout the country for the continuance of the present soldiers employment work. It is expected that in the next day or two machinery will be created whereby federal, state, municipal and volunteer agencies interested Is the employment problem will get behind the employment service in arranging for carrying on employment activities hy communities, under general direction by the federal employment service. "The work of assisting soldiers, sailors and war workers to suitable employment, must be continued at all costs," the apeal stated. "The unemployment area

INTELLECTUAL PROSTITUTES. About a year ago one of America's oldest and most respected journalists was tendered a banquet by his fellow editors, and after an eloquent, summarizing of the satus of the American editor wound up as follows: "There is no such thing in America as an independent press, unless it is in the country towns. "You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write his honest opinions, and, if yon did. you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. "I am paid $150.00 a week for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper ! am connected with- others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things and any one of you who would be so foolish as to write his honest opinions would be put out on the streets looking for another Job. "The business of the New York journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to prevert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his race and his country for his daily bread. "You know this and I know it, and what foily is this to be toasting an 'Independent Press.' "We are the tolls and vassals of rich men behind

the scenes. We are the jumping-jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are

intellectual prostitutes." Municipal Bulletin.

LIQUID HELL-FIRE. Those who have been predicting that under prohi

bition private stills will everywhere spring up aren't

commandipg our confidence to any great extent. Natur ally a Terre Haute man was the first to try the game

and the other day Judge Anderson of the federal court

fined him $600 and gave him thirty days In jail. Where

upon the victim lugubriously wailed that this was pretty

rough in view of the fact that the whiskey he had made

was so infernally rotten that no one could drink it The penalty of the law and the miserable whiskey pro

duced will co-operate to render the private still a rather negligible quantity. It is well known that only experts with first class appliances can make good whiskey and

it is no surprise to hear that that produced by an ama

teur in a cellar is undescribably and impossibly vile. Liquid hell-fire would be nectar compared to it, and precious few there will be to jeopardize their liberty and their property by its illicit manufacture. Fort Wayne News.

An Inquirer writes to ask about service chevrons as to whether a man who has served sfx months here and six months overseas can wear a silver and gold chevron: (Silver chevrons, Identical in design with the gold chevron worn by A. E. F. members for each six months' period of service overseas, are worn for eervlce in. the States one for each six months. Present A. E. F. regulations do not prohibit the wearing of silver chevrons by men who arrived in the A. K. F. after serving more than six months at home, according to the latest opinion. This means that a man who has served more, than six

months in th States before joining the A. K. F.. can wear one or more silver ehevronf in F'rance previous to the time he, puts on his first koIoI stripe for foreign service. But as soon as he puts on the gold etripe, which I.j mandatory at the end of sis months hts must remove th silver marking, because regulations forbid the wearing of more than one color service stripe at a time. Tie regulations that no more than one type of service stripe will be worn at a time are also binding in the States. Therefore, upon the departure cf a soldier from Franc he may wear his foreign service marking only one or more gold stripes If he hts served more than six months tn France, or a blue stripe if he has served less than six months.

THIS IS THE TIME TO STOP IT. The situation in Homewood and in other parts Hammond's pretty residential districts with regard

tthe location of a coal yard in its midst and consequent

threats of certain property holders, because of that fact, to sell their homes to colored people is one that warrants Immediate attention on the part of the residents of that section. It is wise to take time hy the forelock before property is purchased by negroes there because It has been the rule in all cities where they effect a residential entry the value of property has depreciated to an astonishing extent. Once a colored family locates in a district of this kind it is not long before another family buys property therein, and from thence on there is a flux of white people from the neighborhood and the offering for sale of their homes at a loss. It is axiomatic that white and black will not mix and the people of the Calumet region have too much invested in the south part of Hammond to take any chances. The residents there have taken particular pride in their homes and surroundings. . They -are people whose love of home and family make them take a, pride In their lawns, gardens. "eta,, and In the neatnefs and cleanliness of the neighborhood. All this will be lost when negroes begin to buy property there. It is not hard to find examples in other cities, where the negro has invaded beautiful residence districts and ruined streets because of their ahiftlessness and slovenly habits. We do not know the law on the subject but it seems .that if a city council can keep saloons out of a certain section of a city by ordinance, it might be able to keep negroes and an element that Is undesirable to the property holders. Now Is the time to take the situation by the forelock and met it calmly. There is no need of fanning any flames. The residents should get together and take steps to prevent jthis threatened invasion.

Then if we adopt that theory, we shall soon find our

selves without a merchant marine and dependent upon other nations if we ever again have need of transportation, as we certainly will. By some means by The method most effective and economical we should establish and permanently maintain ocean transportation lines between the United States and other nations with which

i we desire to build up a profitable trade. There may be

a difference of opinion upon the question whether we need to operate lines between this country and great Britain. There can he no doubt that we need regular transportation service with South America, on both coasts; w-ith Hawaii, the Philippines and Asiatic countries. We must have enough of these lines to maintain a respectable merchant marine in full competition if possible, with some sort of subsidy, if necessary- There are men who believe that we can maintain a merchant marine without subsidy and without governmental aid in any form. In full competition with European nations. It so, well and good; but one way or another we must have ships that are constantly at the call of the American government.

HEALTHY CHILDREN. The Government at Washington, through the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor, is doing a great deal to improve the health and happiness of babies and young children. It issues a number of excellent little leaflets and pamphlets on prenatal care, infant care and child care. Most of these are free. It also Is now issuing a list of "Good Books and Pamphlets on Child Care" which is very valuable for any mother to have. A number of these publications are issued free, and others are obtainable through any bookstore at very reasonable prices. The purchase of one book, if it saves one doctor's call, has paid for itself in money. It pays for itself daily in the increased health of the children. All one has to do is to send a postcard to the Children's Bureau, Washington, D. C. asking for the free leaflets, including the list of books. This is a trifle for any mother or father to do for the children, and it brings returns far beyond the effort expended.
