WILSON WARNS ALLIES II.S.W1LL(|UITEUR0P1
To promote popular peacetime sav¬ ings in a [iracMcnl way the United S'ates Treasury Department will car¬ ry on Its plan for the sale of Thrift and .Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certlflcates indefinitely. Sec- i-e'.nry of tlie Treasury Glass announc¬ es tlie gratifying increase in sales of the government securities In the lat¬ ier months of lillO. The movement for thrift, saving and safe investment is g.iiniiig in popularity and bids fair i'nr ihis year.
Since Ihe lieginning of the movo- ment, whieh was adopted as a nation- il wnr mea.^ur , bu' is now a perman¬ ent iieai-etimc program of the govern- uieni. Til i.'': r.iiil Savings Siainps and ¦l'ren;>ui-y S.ivii _'s <'priifiea:es to the ainount of f 1.:;.'...OMJ.LHX) have been imrchase.'. by American people up to Deiemlier l.'"itli, l!»l!J. Of lliis amount Mure than J.SL'.tlDO.OOO in siamps Is iield In ti-.is disirici. Within the last .'nur innir.hs, esiiecially, iho volume nf -livings ii'aced in these securities lias i.een gruuiiu; hy leaps and bounds and llie in.'i'easiiig deuiaiid for them indl- .a'es thai .lanuary will be one of the largest   invesi ment   montli.s.
'J'lie tsventy-tivo cent Thrift Stamps "emain tlie samo as in previous years. I'hey bear no in'erest and they are used in making small savings to apply iu eicliange for a $5.1)0 Savings Stamp. The !i!,"i.00 War Savings .Stamp bears '1 per cent interest com- iiounded quarterly and costs $4.12 In January, iucreasing 1 cent per month in tyot". until next December when the cos*: will be $4.23. The stamp Is car¬ mine in color, bears tha head of George Washington and Is a trifle larg¬ er lu Bize tiian the 1919 staup. It eaa be redeemed on ten days' aetics, at any money order poatofllce where SavlLgs Stamps are aold. If It I* rcg'.atered it must be redeemed at tk* poc'.oiflce where It was registered.
Other securities are the $100 and th* |10«0 Treasury Saviags CertlBcatec The 1100 Ortlflcate, f<2.40 ta Jaaa- ary, Increasea 20 ceata per meatk until December. Th* flout Certil- cat* eeet $S'24.00 In January aad !¦• creases at the rate of fS.OO per moath. Th* owaersblp limitation i* still $100t (matarPy value). This do** aet In¬ clude heldlngs of the 1018 aad 1819 last i. These securltl**, a* well aa stamp*, are obtainable frem pestof- flees. Incorporated trust*, trusts, bank companies and other specially anthor- ixed agencies. A very dealrabl* aad convenient exchange faatur* has beea arranged whereby War Savings Ortifl- cates sf the 10*20 Issue bearing a full number of twenty Savings Stampa may ba exchanged for registered Treasury Savings Cert I flea'ea, serla* 10*20 of the $100 denomination. Th* latter ar* registered at the Treasury and can b* redeemed directly through P.

President Protests Against Brit¬ ish Fiume Scheme of Cutting Tangle Presented to Slavs.
Paris.- Hugh C. Wallace, the Ameri¬ can anihnssMiIor, delivered to the French foreign oflice u memorandum from President Wilson in whicii tlie President .said he could not approve Ilf rii'iiiier I.lnyd George's proposed seitli'iiieiii nf lhe -Xdi'Iaiic questlnu, wlliell iias been suhinitl ed to the .Iu:,'o- SIUV..4.
It is aiso said thai an identicul mem¬ orandum  was dellMTed  to the British ' Forei^.'-n Oil'u'e In Lnndon. i     President   Wilsnn  gives  it to be un- ' doi'sliKiil ili.'H   if tl.e allied powers set- ' lle the -Vdriatic prnlilem   .vilhnul   enii- ;Siilling  the   I'liited  .S'ates gnvi riiiiieiit ; lhe United Siaiis will tind it Impnssi- : ble  to  cnnciin   it.-.,if  in   Kuropeun   iif- I'airs or cninin-ie in the peaee cotifer- eiieo.
In his niemiirandum President Wil¬ son criticizes I'l-ni'iier Lloyd (Jeorge's pi,in ns eiiniiiniir -i.ted to the Jiiu-o- elavs by the Siiiiri i.ie Council on Janu¬ ary 20. The I'l'esii'ent i.'Xiimined lhe [lian, Init deelares lie cannot approve of its tenor. He particularly opposes the idea wliii-Ii i-niisists in giving llie ,Iugo-SIavs the eiinleo between this [lian and executlnn [nire and sliuiile of the Ixmdnn [iMct.
In addition, according to the Paris Temps, tbe President finds fhe Lloyd George plan foo divergent from the memorandum drawn up at London last December by Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau, wltb the collabora¬ tion of the .\merlcan representative.
The League of Nations Is watching the altuation closely and may step in at any moment. Officials here are frankly fearful of the po».,iblllty of war over the Adriatic. It is admitted that If the situation comes to an im¬ passe between tbe Serbians and th* Italians this may afford the firat op-, portunlty for the league to enforce a settlement thrnugh the application of economic measurea.
French diiilomats are greatly excited over Prealdent Wilson's Srtion. Tliey say that the American government wIJ! not take part In the dlscuaslnn of the Council of Premiers, to which It Is In¬ vited, yet at the same time exacts that the premiers' decisions must be shaped in accordance with Washiugton'a wishes.
The French pre.s8 takes up the quee¬ tion In sen.satlonal style, and Its com¬ ment Is bitter.

EVENTS   .
WASHINGTON
Opinion in Congress continues divided on tha Lansing incident, with op¬ ponents of the peace treaty support¬ ing Mr. Lansing's position and talk¬ ing of some action to determine how the executive business of the gov¬ ernment is being conducted.
It was reported tbat one reason for the attitude of the President In the Lansing retii'jnation was the selec¬ tion of Elihu Root, presumably after the state department had been sounded out, as the distinguished man from America to aid In forma¬ tion of a constitution for pernanent Court of International Justice.
Court proceedings, senate resolutions and official statements by Judge John Barton Payne, before the Senate Committee on Commerce and to the yess, and a letter from Judge Payne to th* President, figured In the de¬ velopment incident to the effort of William Randolph Hearst to prevent the sale of the former German pas¬ senger ships as agreed  upon.
The House Ways and Means Commit¬ tee Indicated Its opposition to tha plan of the Treasury Department to allow an extension of the time of paymenta of interest on aliied loans without reoulring compound interest.
Wa.<ihinRton.—Confidence    that    Eu- ' rope's monetary problems will be set- ' tied   satisfactor'ly   wns   exreased   by I Secretary Houston In a review of Oie 1 Internationnl flnancinl situation. j     This  country  is  constantly  furnlsh- Ing Europe capital  with  wblch  to  re- ! construct the economic life of nations ' there,   said   .\Ir.   Houston,   explaining i tliat advnncps are being made in   th* ' snme way that Europe aided this coun¬ try in time of depression in the past— ' not by government  loans so much  as Dy, indirect  methdds,  such  as  private ! loan.5,   sale   of   surplus   army   equip¬ ment and the absorption of high grade > investment  securities  offered   in   mar- j kets here by  European  liolders.    The secretary  estiniatcd   that   Europe  bad ' received   iipproxlnuitely   $.l,0(K).OIX1.0()0 from tills country since tbe armistice wns signed.^
The position of the United States Treasury wns saiil by tbe seeretary to be very strong, the redeeming of the last issue of "lonn" certificates of in¬ debtedness, about $rA000,00O, leaving no outstanding flouting loan In the .sen.se of .short terra certificates re¬ quiring to be refunded at maturity. Tax cerfificntes outstanding amount to i?2.!):;."i,;i!'J.''i0i), all of which will be paid by furthcoming income and proflts taxes.
Altogether. Secretnry Houston de¬ clined to agree with tbe pessltnistlc view of some public men. who forecnst a financial crash, and asserted that while there were many difiicultles still to he overcome, tbere wns nothing in the situation to lie regarded as ex¬ tremely grave.
The  raiiid  reduction of government
expenditure and realization of the sur-
' [)lus stocks accumulated for war pur-
I poses have been  importnnt  factors In
I making  [lossibie  tbe reduction  of the
¦ flontlng di'lit nnd the gross debt of the ' government in the lust flve mouths, he
said. i     The position of the treasury at pres- ' out nnd  tbo future of the market  for
the    outstanding    issues    of    Liberty I bonds   and   Victory   notes   are   very
¦ bright. The whole color of the pic¬ ture wouid, of course, be changed If Congress should enilmrk upon new ex- pendtiures on a iarge senle.
In that cnnnecfinn It Is interesting to observe that the depression in high grade Investinent securities In this country at the piesent time is. to a very important extent, the result of heavy sellng of such securities in our markets from foreign sources. This, as Secretary (Jlass said In his annual report, is one of the processes which la stimuluteil by the very position of the exelianges which it tentls to cor¬ rect. By absorbing these high grade Investment securities the American jieople are furnishing capital to Eu¬ rope at a time of Europe's need and are giving this help In Just the way that P^urope helped America la the period of America's growth and of ber own monetary trouble*.
In th* days of the Infancy ef th* Republic, In the days of our Civil War and of the period oif rcconatmctloa after the Civil War, ef th* monetary panics which we suffered at frefueat intervale until the eatabllshmeot ef our Federal Keaerve Systen^ America suffered greatly for lack of capital and credit and because of her depreciated eurrei7?"i tnd later her Inelastic cur¬ rency. In those iift Burop* cam* te America's aiil, not by cevemmcfit loans, not with any comprehensive plan, hut by the lnve«tment of prlvat* capital upon attrnctiv* term* In Am*r- Ican enterprhse*.
I am confident that the aolutlon of Europe's problems will be found by the wisdom and courage of European statesmen In facing the monetary diffi¬ culties imposed uiion them by the great war and by the enlightened, sympa¬ thetic and friendly co-operation of the business men and workmen of Amer¬ ica and Kurope.
