San Francisco A very noticeable short, age of butter in the hands of dealers was largely responsible for another rise of one cent In the market today. Private stocks yesterday and this morning In the form of cubes were lighter than for some time.

GERMANS LOSE IN CHINA Misleading PnMers on Armlstic Aronw Fcellns Af:uln-.t IInn. SKATTLE, 'Wash.. Feb. 2S.-Spe cial.l The day the armlstrce was sljrned Oermana and their aitents in China posted thousands of flaminir placards in (various Chinese cities read ing: "we have pranted an armistice to our enemies." So well prepared were the Germans livintr in the orient. and so well informed, that these mis leading announcements had been print ed beforehand, ready to convince at the very end of the war the Chinese that Oermany had triumphed over her pow erful combination of enemies. Thomas If. Day, a merchant of Shanghai, China, who has reached Se ttle on the Nippon ushen Kaisha liner Katori Ma.ru was in Tien Tsin the day the armistice was signed. "These notices were posted simul taneously In I'ekln, Tien Tsin, Shanghai and llandow," said Mr. Tay, "showinir the movement was generally planned and faithfully carried out. But It did not fret the German propaganda any where. It is a dead Issue In China and the Germans have lost a commercial grip they were 40 years in gaining;."

"Is the inculcation of new motives of self-interest. linked with every-day patriotism, for continued savings and continued Investment in government securities, both small and larpe. durlnt; the post-armittce period. "The treasury department Is now prepurlrtgr stamps of the denominations of 100 and $1000 each of the 1919 Issue.
