Prepared in the Interest cf the I'eople
The war is costing the United States ? 1,000,000 an hour.
To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's
cash resource-, there must be a corresponding" stream of dollars
Cowing into the national treasury.
Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offer the people an op
portunity to deposit their dailj weekly or monthly savings with
the government.
In. return the government will repay the principal with 4 per
cent interest, compounded quarterly. As an example of how the
investor's money will prow, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 23
cents each, or ?4.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the
depositor to ?..00 en January 1, 1923.
As an investment, safety considered, thereis nothing better
cn the market today. All the resources of the richest government
on earth are behind the stamps.

VorwacrtB Thinks Military Dictator
ship Coming; Supreme
Trust in Force.
Control of the destinies of the Ger
man empire, press accounts from
neutral countries agree, is passing
into the hands of the militarists or
the leaders who want to hold what
has been gained by might and the
sword. Chancellor von Hertling, the
aged incumbent of the chief political
office, again is reported iH and is
preparing to resign, while the mil
itarists and pan-Germans are de
manding the dismissal of Dr. ron
Kuehlman, the foreign secretan-,
who has headed the Grrman delega
tions at Brest-Litovsk.
In connection with the reported
illness of the imperial chancellor, it
is reported from Berlin that Count
von Hertling's address before the
main committee of the reichstag has
been postponed for several days. It
was said previously that the chancel
lor would answer the recent war aims
statements of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George before
the
main committe on Wednesday.
Coupled with these reports is the
fact that the German emperor and
the crown prince have been holding
conferences with the political and
military leaders. It is reported also
I that the German ministers to Den-
mark and Holland have arrived un
expectedly in Berlin. Indications
are that the present turmoil within
the German ruling class will result
in the acceptance of a firm policy,
either favoring the militarists or the
more peaceful elements, with the
probability that the pan-Germans
will be victorious. The socialist Vor
waerts believes a military dictator
ship is in the making.
No explanation has been vouch
safed by either the Germans or the
Russians as to the reasons behind
the temporary halt in the peace ne-
gotiations. Nor has it been announc-
et officially why the conferences, if
continued, are to be resumed at War-
saw. A Bavarian newspaper says,
"Egyptian darkness enshrouds" Ger
many's peace terms.
Amsterdam (Monday), Jan. 14.
The Wolff bureau, the semi-official
news agency of Berlin, publishes a
Brest-Litovsk dispatch regarding the
three long sittings on Friday and
Saturday.
The Wolff bureau report covers
nearly 5,000 words and shows that
the discussion concerning the date of
the evacuation of territory was
broken off by the parties failing to
agree. A long discussion, concern
ing which parts of the occupied ter
ritory should be evacuated, also re
sulted in a disagreement.
A prolonged debate arose over the
question of admitting representa
tives of Poland, Courland and Lithu
ania to the negotiations, and on the
question of what constituted self-de-I
termination by these provinces. The
V diKM'SsirTl hpOJlTnp mhitt prpfl unri
General Hoffmann of the German
delegation, against the tone of the
Russian delegation, which he said
"speaks as if it stood victorious in
our countries and could dictate con
ditions." ,
General Hoffmann reminded the
delegates that the bolsheviki author
ity, as much as the German, was
founded on force, as instanced b;
what he termed the attempts to sup
press the white Russia and the Uk
rainian attempts at self-determina-
ion. General Hoffmann finally de
clared that the German suprtme
army command must refuse to evac
uate CourlancL Lithuania, Riga and
the islands in the Gulf of Riga.
Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German
foreign minister, then declare.l that
he must reserve a further statement
of the position of the central powers
on all points. He protested against

The Hague, Jan. ID. The politi

rapidly coming to a head.
The Berliner Tageblatt says Chan
cellor von Hertling is ill. and pre
dicts important changes in the near
future. As in the last chancellorship
crisis, Yon Hertling's health would
readily serve as a pretext for resig
nation. It had been stated that Yon Hert
ling would appear before the reich
stag this week to answer Premier
Lloyd-George and President Wilson.
According to the Deutsche Zeitung,
Foreign Minister von Koehlmann re
turned Monday from Brest Litcvsk.
