2 'BABY BONDS' ARE PUT BEFORE PUBLIC TODAY A Man With Four Dollars to Invest Can Do His Bit in War "Baby Bonds" the United States government has whimsically called th new war savings certificates and thrift stamps which will be on sale Monday morning for every man, woman and child in the nation who has so much as $1.12 to lend Uncle Sam for his mighty task of winning this war. Harrlsburg plans for read ily securing the certificates were; completed to-day when supplies were sent to post offices, branch offices? aad to every mail carrier. At the main office customers are to inquire at the registered letter window. , At the head of the Pennsylvania state campaign is Robert K. Cassatt, head of Cassatt & Company, bankers. Philadelphia, and in behalf of this latest effort of the government io raise a great sum, $2,000,000,000, he puts the cause in a nutshell as fol lows: "The government expects an even more noteworthy response to the ot tering of War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps than it has had to its appeals for the purchase of Liberty Bonds or other agencies for raising money to carry on the war. The principle involved is even far ther reaching and more vital than that in the other measure, for in the sale of War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps the Treasury Depart ment is making a real test of the power of the people of moderate means and the poor people to save and help the nation." The first Unk in the chain of sell ing forces will consist of the 841 incorporated banks and trust com panies and the national banks in forty-eight counties of the state, and other means will be put in operation when these are going. There will be a committee chairman, a man well known in the section, who will in turn appoint a working force con sisting of various branches of labor, business, fraternal, religious, educa tional and civic groups, so that all the people will be represented. Certain counties have already been- furnish ed with a leader, as George E. Lloyd, Carlisle, for Cumberland: C. M. Tay lor, for Huntingdon; William H. Greenough, Sunbury, for North umberland; John C. Motter, New Bloomtield, for Perry, and O. liow land Head, for York county. Commenting on the scope of the baby bond sale. Mr. Cassatt says: "This sale is going to be distinct from anything ever attempted in this country in the line of financial oper ations. While the big banks and trust companies are to have their part in it, the sale will reach right down un-j til every sales agency will be employ ed to sell these certificates that are to raise $2,000,000,000 from the peo ple of America. "Post offices, drugstores, retail stores, cigar stores, schools and col leges, saving societies and every oher agency that can be put to work will be certified to make these sales. The government feels that it must em ploy the selling agencies that are closest to the people. In this way the sale can and will be made a suc cess." It is pointed out that money is doubly useful in these savings as it not onlv draws compound Interest of four per cent, in five years, but the money can be claimed at any time during that period and still net fair interest during the time held of a bit -less than three per cent.

Federal Square Harrisburg, Pa. j — 1 ' ■ i SATURDAY EVENING, DESAULLES CASE MAY REACH JURY BY THIS EVENING Experts For Prosecution Deny That Young Wife Was Mentally Unbalanced* By Associated Prtts Mineola, X. Y., Dec. I.—When "summing up" addresses began in Supreme Court here this afternoon. it was believed certain the fate of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles would early this evening be in the hands of the twelve Jurors who are to decide her guilt or innocence of a charge of murdering her former husband, John L. De Saulles, August 3. Jus tice David IJ. Manning, at noon, in dicated he would continue court un til the issue was finally submitted to the jury. It was believed the jury would begin its deliberations at about 6 o'clock this evening. Mrs. De Saulles smiled with a ges ture indicating relief when at 11.36 this morning both sides announced "we rest." The specialist's answers to the hypothetical question submitted to day contradicted the opinion of three other eminent medical men who yes terday made reply to another type written interrogation of the same kind. Those on the stand yesterday said they believed Mrs. De Saulles was mentally deranged at the time of the shooting. \ Through Mrs. Anna Mooney, a nurse once employed by Mr. and Mrs. De Saulles, the prosecution to day introduced testimony which con tradicted Mrs. De Saulles' story of "indifferent neglect" on the part of her husband during their married life. Walter R. Jones, justice of the peace, who presided at Mrs. De Saulles preliminary hearing, was the first witness recalled to the stand to-day. Attorney Weeks drew from Jones a statement that his observations of Mrs. De Saulles following the shoot ing gave him that impression she was rational. In answer to a question from At torney Uterhart, however, Jones added her calm manner, despite "the unusual circumstances," surprised him. George H. Hoffmann, keeper of the Mineola jail, reiterated Jones' opinion regarding Mrs. De Saulles' sanity of action and conversation during her imprisonment. Mrs. Anna Mooney, the nurse whom John L. De Saulles, Jr., called "Boobie," told of Mrs. De Saulles' presentation to King George and Queen Mary during a visit to Eng land in 1914. An airplane flight which the defendant took while there, numerous shopping excur sions on which the witness said her mistress bought extravagantly and other details of the De Saulles' lux urious mode of life during the time she was employed by the family were related. Mrs. Mooney' according to wit nesses who have testified In behalf ot the defense, was the nurse retained by De Saulles through whom he is alleged to have tried to alienate his son's affection for his mother. Regarding the automobile acci dent during a visit to Chile, in which Mrs. De Saulles claims she sustained severe injuries to her head, Mrs. Mooney said a doctor "took three stitcher" in Mrs. De Saulles' chin following the accident and that her mistress attended a concert the same night the accident occurred. The defense maintains Mrs. De Saulles was confined to bed for sev eral days following the mishap. Need For City Sanitary Hospital Is Recognized Health Officer J. M. J. Raunick stated to-day he will confer with Council in the near future on the pressing need for a contagious dis ease hospital. He also said he will probably call the importance of this provision to the attention of the county commissioners and their aid may be asked bq city officials. Coun ty Commissioner Charles C. Cumbler stated to-day the commissioners will be willing to receive data and con sider the question before preparing the 1918 budget. So new cases of smallpox were re ported to-day by citl health authori ties, but additional vaccinations are being made as a precaution against an epidemic. The four victims of the disease are now at the municipal hospital on the county poorfarm grounds. So far no steps have been taken to fumigate any part of the courthouse. It is reported, and only a few of the persons transacting bus iness there last week have been vac cinated, Dr. Bautilck stated. The fourth victim of smallpox was a tip staff at court last week.

BRITISH LEADERS DISAVOW LETTER OF LANSDOWNE | Not Only Government, but Marquis' Party Condemn Peace Suggestion London, Dec. 1. —Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, in his weekly talk with the Associated Press yesterday, emphatically declared that the Marquis of Lansdowne in writing a letter containing peace suggestions was not speaking for any important body of opinion in England. "The most important thing to say in regard to Lansdowne's letter." Lord Roberts said, "is that he spoke only for himself. Before writing It, he did not consult or have any com munication with any member of the government, and the members of the government read the letter in the newspaper with as much surprise as anybody else. "It does not represent our views nor has there been any change or modification in the slightest degree in the war policy of this country. Our policy is still what it always lias been and as described by the author ized spokesmen of the country, name ly, Premier Lloyd George, Asquith, Bonar Law and Balfour. It has been put in different words by them, but perhaps is best summed up in the recent utterance of Premier Clemen ceau —that the war aim for which we are fighting is victory." The Evening News says that at a representative meeting of the Union ist party yesterday Chancellor Bonar Law very strongly repudiated Lord Lansdowne's letter, describing it is 3 "disaster." The chancellor further declared that the views expressed by Lans downe were not the views of any of his colleagues, either in the Cabinet or out of it. A strongly worded reso lution condemning the publication of the lettor was adopted at the meet ing and cabled to Paris to the Inter- Allied Conference now being held there. Lord Lansdowne's letter holds first place in the editorial columns of London newspapers, but with the ex ception of the radical Daily News, which approves it, and the moderate Daily Telegraph, which endorses it in part, it is denounced. The Manchester Guardian consid ers Lord Lansdowne's letter a de liberate challenge for a restatement of war aims and for the adoption of such a statement by all the allies. It characterizes this as a wise endeavor which is bound to receive serious consideration. The newspapers in Germany pub lish the letter on their frftnt' pages, telegraphs the Amsterdam corre spondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company. The German newspapers consider it "a beginning of England getting reasonable." Germany Calls It "Feeler" The letter, the correspondent adds, has caused general satisfaction in J Germany, where it is regarded as a j semiofficial feeler." Lord Lansdowne's great reputa tion and past services to the country, are recognized by the hostile critics here, who, however, fear that these add to the mischief which they be lieve the letter will cause by mis leading America and other foreign opinion into the belief that the views expressed represent an important section of the nation. Such belief, they declared, would utterly be mis taken, and some insist that Lord I.ansdowne is speaking solely for himself, while others assert that he has placed the prestige of a great name at the service of the pacifists. Insistence is general that he could riot have chosen a worse time to launch the letter than when Ger many is dickering a peace with the Leninites, the Inter-Allied Confer ence meeting in Paris and enemy agents trying to induce army to abandon the fight. Letter 111-Timed, Opinion of Official Washington By Associated Press Washington, Dec. I.—"Lord Lans downe said the right thing at the wrong time." That in a sentence is the attitude of the portion of official Washingon which concerns itself with foreign affairs toward the start ling utterance-of the distinguished Tory statesman. American officials have only praise for the substance of Lord Lansdowne's proposal, but they consider the moment at which he launched his demand for a restate ment of peace terms ill chosen. They agree that it would have been admirable politics for the allies to have taken that stand some time dur ing the last summer, before the Ital ian debacle and the Russian dissolu tion. They agree that as soon as an allied success puts a period to the present run of German victory a statement along these lines should be made. But they insist that at the present moment a statement by the allies along the lines proposed would not be "an immense stimulus * * * to the peace party in Germany," but on the contrary would merely furnish the jingoes and pan-Germans with material for argument that England is exhausted and ready to quit. To avoid just the appearance df war weariness which Lord Lans downe's statement produces, the State Department has consistently In sisted that the Paris conference was to be solely a war conference and was not to concern itself with peace terms. Nevertheless, it has been per fectly well understood among the diplomats that Colonel House would unofficially discuss war aims and peace terms with the representatives of England, France, Italy and Russia and that an agreement triight be reached for a complete restatement of the allies' war aims along liberal lines. Letter Entirely His Own, Declares Lord Lansdowne London, Dec. I.—The Marquis of Lansdowne, Interviewed by the Daily Express concerning his letter, said: "I like It, the letter was entirely my own. I consulted nobody about't. An absurd Idea has been spread that the suggestion was made by other people. I wish to deny that." Lord Lansdowne declined to dis cuss the opportuneness of the letter or the possible effect In discouraging people concerning tho purpose and prospects of the war and added: "I have really nothing to add or retract and can hardly allow myself to be catechised about it. The subject is necessarily too controversial." BYEB.S-JACOBS Harper Sidle Byers, New Cumber land, and Miss Tubilla Altma Jacobs, of this city, were married yesterday.

Striking evidence of this fact is furnished in the latest book by the author of "My Home in the Field of Honor." The volume, "My Home in the Field of Mercy," by Frances Wilson Huard, just issued by George 11. Loran Company, is the story of the work of relief and mercy being conducted by the author at her chateau at Viiliers—-the famous "Home in the Field of Honftr," now J a hospital for wounded French sol fdiera.
