' There was recently advertised in a Portland newspaper stock in a trac tor, manufacturing corporation.

The Jour nal Is careful toj investigate as elosely as possible all financial ad vertislng that is offered and has de clined thousands of I dollars worth ot fake ; advertising each year.

HE necessity of financing the war has had the good effect of en couraging Uie habit of saving among the American people. The accumulation of savings banks and postal savings is outstripping the financial demands; of the national government. j While exact figures are not yet available it is known that postal savings deposits have steadily gained, notably since the first Liberty loan was floated. A corresponding gain is also shown in the reports of sav ings banks.; It Is estimated that the savings of the whole- people of the United States, ordinarily 1 five or six billion annually, Increased to fifteen billion during 1917. . ..

Their 99 year "lease" of the Roumanian oil . wells is an earnest of what other countries may expect if they, demolish the western allied defenses. The kaiser must have "compensation" for all his outlay in kulturizing mankind and the bill Is a big one. If he counts In the "butcher's bill" of the offensive now in progress it will require more than Prance and England own to pay It. But suppose the western line holds? - Then the war lords, poor things, will have to pay the bill themselves. What a day of reckoning that will be when they go back home, defeated and dis graced, to face the wrath of the de ceived German people. The Germans glory in the war as long as it brings them -victory.

For example: With a professor of a celebrated university lo cated In western France I waaywalklng through the streets of the seaport from which I am writing. I asked about. the ace of th city. He pointed to a round tower ana saia: inert is tne answer to your question. That tower was on of many of those used In the city wall. The foundation was built by th Romans. The cathedral to which we are going was built in 1092 : to be more exact, the cor nerstone was laid In that year by th pope who preached the crisades." "How about these houses we are passing?" I asked. He stopped at the door of a pri vate house and said, as he looked at the huge and beautiful door knocker: "These houses are comparatively mod ern. In this old hand made steef knocker you can see In the filigree work th data 1722." We passed homes where the wrought iron ornaments and decorations were made by hand many hundreds of years ago. We went to the custodian of th city's archives and saw relics that wer priceless old Vellum volumes of th city's history, dating back to th Middle Ages, printed by hand, illuminated and Initialed with black, crimson and gold letters. There, too, I saw the cross of the Legion of Honor worn by the found er of the Order of Emperor Napoleon, as well as many of his personal posses rlons. One beautifully bound hook on strategy, written by an Austrian mili tary authority, -had on almost every nasa annotations in Napoleon s hand' writing. On on pag Napoleon had written three terse comments In the mar rin opposite three paragraphs. The com menu were: "Ignorant." "absurd." and Ignorant." In places h had written even more forcible comments, for Na poleon was not very favorably Impressed with Prussian or Austrian military tactics.
