'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.

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."

[WINNING THE WAR j

"Smokes" When Men
Are in Danger
A soldier of the' Rainbow
Lay wounded on' his cot:
Approaching death, they thought I
him,
And he had bravely fought.
But the white garbed nurse that
waited
Stood by as he awoke
And smiled, she knew he'd win out
now —
"Nurse, may I have a smoke?"
Ne>er yet has tobacco been so
linked with drama as it it to-day.
j Tobacco, and yet more tobacco for
I the soldiers, it should be impressed
upon the people at home, is one
of the real factors in winning the
war. 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. And one of the most tense
ami thrilling chapters of this book
I recounts how the author made lier
j lirst, visit to the battle front, spent
! u wild night through rain and shells,
land r-u' up at an underground cafe.
| in order to obtain a supply of to-
I I woo abandoned near the first lines,
i and to carry it back to the soldiers
at her hospital whose greatest need
jit war- The account of this erranl
jof mercy begins: "The ail-absorb-
I ing question was tobacco. Much has
i been said of its necessity to the light
! ing men in the trenches, luit I fancy
S lew realize the moral effect of a
cigaret on a convajescent in a ty
| pi'oid hospital. The day a man can
sit up in bed, clap his soldier's cap
on one ear, and puff waves of smoke
into his neighbors' faces, there is no
longer any doubt as to his recovery.
He is cured."
