EXPECT MARKET VALUE OF LIB
ERTY BONDS TO INCREASE
Steady increase in the market
value of Liberty bonds and the main
tenance of an interest rate not great
er than 4Vi per cent on future is
sues of government certificates are
expected in treasury circles to result
from the excellent conditions of the
government's fiscal program. With
the rate on new government securi
ties being reduced Liberty bonds,
paying a higher return, began to
mountain price, the advance being
helped by Secretary Glass' recent
statement that the turn in war
financing has come. Since Liberty
bonds in many cases can be bought
so as to pay 5 per cent on the in
vestment, purchases have increased
materially, leading to the belief that
they have reached their lowest levels
and will enhance in price from now
on.

THE DEATH LIST AT CORPUS
CHRISTI CROWS STEADILY
Recovery of additional bodies
along the north shore of Nueces bay
brought the known dead as a result
of the storm at Corpus Christi, Tex.,
to over 400, and caused fears that
the total death roll might reach
double that number. The property
damage will exceed $20,000,000, ac
cording to estimates. News filtering
in from the surrounding country,
with the partial resumption of wire
communication, continues to empha
size the magnitude of the catastrophe.
The Dutch minister in Paris has
been advised, according to the Libre
Belgique of Brussels, that Holland
within two weeks will receive a de
mand for the extradition of former
Emperor William on behalf of the
allies, according to a dispatch from
Paris.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS USED AS
SWINDLING SCHEME
A unique stock swindling scheme
has just been unearthed. Stock is be
ing sold in the league of nations. A
prominent woman reported to the po
lice in Birmingham, Ala., that she
had bought two shares of stock in the
league of nations "without reserva
tions." A woman came to her home
saying her name was Sarah Benson
of Chicago. She claimed that Presi
dent Wilson and ex-President Taft
were backing the league of nations,
a company organized for the purpose
of buying all material used in war by
different nations and would make it
over into farm implements.
The agent quoted the Bible about
beating swords into plowshares. The
prominent lady agreed to take two
mit- The saleslady took her name,
'ling that stock wtih reserva
tions was $60 a share; that without
reservations was $64.50. When the
purchaser's husband came home he
was first amazed and then burst into
a laugh. He explained the league of
nations and then reported the matter
to the police.
EX-KAISER'S KITCHEN GOES TO
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE
To the collection of war trophies
which the Smithsonian Institution is
now gathering will be added shortly
the field kitchen of William Hohen
zollern, late kaiser of Germany. Ger
man prisoners of war last week load
ed the kitchen which is said to be a
most elaborate affair of the kind
aboard a transport at St. Nazaire,
France, and it is on its wy to Wash
ington with a large collection of war
materials of different kinds. The
kitchen followed the kaiser all over
Europe while the war was on, to all
of the fighting fronts which he vis
ited, but shows no signs of damage,
which is taken to indicate that it kept
as far to the rear as did its imperial
owner.
The Alabama house of representa
tives Wednesday afternoon specifical
ly rejected the Susan B. Anthony suf
frage amendment by a vote of 60
