There Is a growing conviction that some of the returned soldiers are not looking for work. The war has proven that there Is no reason why an American president should not see the world. , The fellow who doesn't worry about the weather has more time to devote1 to his other troubles. Every ship which now reaches this side continues the glad news that the boys are coming home. Von can't fool all the people nil the time, but the people fool themselves a great deal of the time. The impression Is getting abroad from Paris that the French do not llko the Germans very well. Americans play baseball nlong the Ithlne while the Ocnnnns shoot each other In Iierlin. The mirth of nations. When the ex-Unlser gets tired of be ing referred to as the ex-kaiser he can hovo them call him the former kaiser. One trouble In Germany Is that there are so many persons who haven't any thing to do except work at bolshevlsm. In the meantime, every citizen must he an employment agency for any sol diers or sailors who happen to need work. If nil problems could be solved as easily as bills are drawn to solve them, wouldn't this be a grand era In which to live? Those Berlin monarchists who are reported as ready "to grab the govern ment" maybe are waiting until they cun find it, European reactionaries once sneered at America for "dollar chasing" and now sneer because America refuses to chase dollars. The reign of terror, or restoration of law and order, as the case may be, no sooner ends in Prussin that it be gins ngnln. Even conscientious objectors have not wholly escaped the horrors of war. Some of them have had their feelings hurt. Professional opinions continue to differ as to whether Brest Is the world's prize pest-hole or one of the healthiest spots lu Europe, One renson there are so few old fashioned girls running at large is that discerning men murry them as Boon as detected. Osrntnny has declared garters to he a luxury, hut they continue to be con sidered necessities In all allied coun tries except Scotland. In the general distribution of war medals why should not there be one for the tired consumer who stayed home and paid the bills? KurojjpBfi art critics who Insist that Aiuurlcnn sky-scrapers are beautiful JtfTve never been hung up between Hoots lu a stalled elevator. "Within live years," says a Phila delphia savant, "we will be eating ar tltlclal eggs." If that lie truo what Hill the hens do for a living? lllo Janeiro reports 1)0,000 hags of coffee destroyed by lire and' a cup of coffee has been about the only thing we could get for a nickel, too. It would he thoughtful of the army anil navy In delay their demobilization until the public catches up with the war books already written. The great cities of Europe are not encouraging visits from strangers. Any one Who goes to Europe now Is sup posed to bo strictly on business. King Peter of Serbia kino has enough of the old game and has wished his job on Prince Alexander., Kings never had so much trouble to stick together. The drafted mail who was not called Row knows that, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding, he was not In thu army or lie would receive a $00 bonus. MttCh has been said about the Yan kee soldiers bringing French wives home, but nothing about the Yankee nurses briuglng huiuo French husbands. VICTORY NOTES NOT TO LOWER IN PAR VALUE New Issue Has Special Appeal to All Investors, Says Expert. "Capitalists, as well as the small In vestor, may purchase the new Victory Loan notes with the fullest assurance that they will hold in the market clnse to the issue price," declared 0. K Weeks, Victory Loan campaign man ager for the Twelfth District, today in calling attention to the strong ap peal the Victory notes make to invest ors strictly from an investment stand point He continued: "It has, of course, been a source of disappointment to subscribers for pre vious Liberty Loan issues that these issues have gone, even temporarily, to a discount of five or six points In the market. "While thiB does not represent a real loss to those who have held their bonds for Investment, It Is reassuring to sub scrlbers for Victory notes that no sue' discount Is possiblo In the case of th present issne. "Discount Impossible." "A decline of the, Victory lan notes of only one point, to 99 for example, would put (hem on an Interest return of 5.03'A. Even during the war, with the prospect of continued largo Issues, no Liberty Donds have over declined to tnj such basis. The Fourth I.oan tonris loday, as a maltcr of fact, are selling to yield less than the i'A paid by the Victory notes at par. "A similar situation exists in the case of the series of 3 fully tax exempt notes which arc suitable for the larger Investors. The first Issue of lie fully tax-exempt Liberty Bonds brauins ZVi Interest, In spite of all the liquidation during Ihc war, are selling today to yleid only 3.55. 'Should the VI lory I.oan 31 notes decline to 99, this would be equivalent I) a i.O?,';i return from Its fully tax-exempt note, which would be equivalent to 91 for the Liberty Loan 3Us which now are In active demand la ii market at 99."
