9,919 NORWICH, CONN., TURN HAS COME - OF GOVERNMENT FINANCING Secretary of the Treasury Glass Reports That if Congress| Rate the Treasury Will be Able to Pay Own Way From Tax and War Salvage Receipts—Otherwise a New Liber- ty Loan Will be Necessary—A Substantial Reduction i Has Been Made in the Government's Debt Since Sept. 1. ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—Another Lib- erty loan will be necessary if congress embarks on “new fields of large ex- penditure or reduces the aggregate Volume of taxes” Secretary Glass de- «claréd in a statement tonight setting forth in detail the government’s finan- <cial condition. If . the present tax level is retained and new expenditures lare kept down, the turn has come in 1he tide of government financing,. the secretary asserted. Barring the congressibnal action mentioned, Mr. Glass believed the ireasury would be able to pay its own way from tax andswar salvage re- ceipts. Although. further issues of treasury certificates of indebtedness may be expected, they will be redeem- rom cash on hand rather than ugh the sale of new issues of cer- tificates for the first time since late in 21817, As indicative of the progress made by the treasury in solution of the sovernment's - financial problems, Mr. Glass pointed to reductions between Sept. 1 and Jan. 1 in the nation’s gross debt and in the two classes of certifi- cates of indebtedness outstanding. The gross debt, which on Sept. 1 was 326,- 596,201,486, was $25,837,078,807 on Jan. Reduction in the floating debt (unmatured treasury certificates of in- debtedness) of $622.653,250 has been ndinz obligations of this at ,800 on Jan. 1. A reduction for the tanding so- d loan certificates, ieaving $1,326,- 661,000 of these vet'to be funded GERMAN SOCIALIST CITES CASE OF LINCOLN AND DAVIS Berlin, dent Lincoln Saturday, | Jan. 10.—Presi- attitude towarg the ar- | rest of Jefferson Davis is recalled by | Otto Landberg, majority _ soc.alist | leader. disgussing in_ the Vorwaerts| the probab'e extradition and trial of ! Former Emperor William. He cites the dilemma of the Union tes when the Confederate leader was im- prisoned, and says he is convinced ‘it would have been better to have allow- €d Mr. Davis to escape.” “Entente nations should desist in their demand that Germans' be taken before their tribunals for trial,” he de- clares regarding soldiers accused by the allies, “as that is bound to result in not a few of the men whose names are on ist-seeking death at thej wn BT than take a chance | at the fatc awalting them beyond Cerman frontfers. Even now I dread to think of the cghoes of shets fired by the hands of ruicides.” i “If William should be haled hefore an entente tribunal.’ he declared, “the| reactionary elements of Germany will convert him into a saint,. who will render them valuable services in connection with their political aspira- tions. The cause of democracy in Germany will be given a fatal setback if the terms of the Versailles treaty are added others which preclude the healing of wounds which w.ll become as injurious to the entente nations as to us” i { { i | PROCLAMATION TG GERMANS OF SEEVRED TERRITORIES Berlin, Jan. 11—(Py s The The government h issued lowing proclamation to the German | inhabitants of the territories which: are peing separated from Germany: “The unhappy ue of the war has left us defenceless to the arbitrary will of an opponent who is imposing upon us.in the name of peace the heaviest of sacrifices, the first of ‘vhich is the renunciation of German territories ‘im the "east, west and north, with regard to the principles of self-determination by which hun- dreds of thousands of our German countrymen are Leing . placed under n domination., erman brothers and sisters: Not only in the hour of fareweil, but for- cver, mourning for. our loss will fill our hearts.

All of these, the secretary said, have %been or will be paid oul of cash on hand Jan. 1, or from the proceeds of sales of tak cortificates issued in anticipation of any one of four tax installments during the present year. *“As for the future” his statement continues, “it may be stated positively that unless congress should entér upon new fields of large expenditure, not in- cluded in the treasury’s estimates, or should make 'a reductign in the amount of taxes in 4ddition to the re- duction made ‘a year ago upon the re- duction of Secretary McAdoo from alout $6.000,000,000 to about $4,000,- 000,000, we may look forward confi- dently to the retirement of the float- ing debt out of the taxes provided by existing law and miscellaneous re- ceipts coming within the general head f war salvage (although further is- certificates in diminishing amounts will be necessary from time to time in the intervals between in- romes and profits tax installment pay- ments), and to the gradual reduction of the funded war debt through the operations of -the Liberty loan hond purchase fund and sinki fund al- ready created by law. On the other hand, should congress embark upon new fields of large expenditure or fur- ther reduce taxes, it will, as T have already . indicated. he clearly neces- sary to revise the treasury’s plans and call upon the country to finance the resulting deficit by the issue of a new Liberty loan.” GEN. WOOD TELLS HOW TO PROMO{E AMERICANISM Passaie, N. J.,” Jan. 11.—Smash the red flag; -bar the nation’s gates to undesirable . immigrants, and Ameri- canize the desirable ones; teach Americanism in our schools and see that the teaehers are properly cared »r; tolerate hut one fiag and, one lan- guage. These doctrinés were urged tenight by Major General Wood in ad- dressing a meeting held under - the combined auspices of ithe Y. M. C. A, the Y. W. C. A. and the Passaic Boy’s club to raise funds for new club build- ‘mngs in Passaic. . “There is a good deal .of uneasiness now in the country,” said Generfal Wacod., “This is no time for new ex- periments: this is no time for new theoties, this is mo time-for loose thinking. The watchword of this coun- j try today should be ‘Steady.’” General Wood declared that the Red element /can be readi disposed of y i through deporting those who are aliens and turning the citizen portion over to the cburt. “I think,” he said, “we must look into it before it comes aboard ship and comes over here. We are very proud that America has been called for generations ‘the refuge of { the oppressed.’ Let us be very careful to see that America does not hecome the dumping ground of the degenerate. We have had a good deal of lahor trouble in some sections of the coun- try lately. We find ninety-five per ~ent. of American labor to be clean, =quare and sound. But we find the vicious from the other 5 per cent. and while we are getting rid of a had lot, don’t let us take in any more unless e know who they are.” : HORACE ‘AND JOHN _ DODGE SERIOUSLY ILL New York.

Seat of th L. of . Geneva Was S Insistence of son. Washington, Jan. 11.—Because the United Siates did not join the entente powers and Japan in the conclusion of peace yesterday in Paris, the seat of ne league of nations may. go 10 Brussels, selgium, instead oi Geneva, Switzeriand, as provided in the league |covenant.” President Wilson: was re- sponsible for. the selection of Geneva m the first place, the I¥rench and British premuers yielding to his sug- gestion though personally they pre- rerred Brussels because it was far . more convenientiy situated with re- gard to Paris and London. Information received here today is to the effect that the secretariat of the league which has been organizing in- formally in London for many, months past now is arranging for the selec- tion of permanent headquarters and is expected to decide within a day or two between the conflicting claims of Geneva and Brussels, In Genéva the secretariat already has selected a large building, almost completed, with special reference to ident Wil- the needs of the “league. Brussels cannot extend equal accommodations but because of its superior conven- ience in the matter of location seems likely now to be chosen. The Swiss claims are further jeo- pardizéd by reason of the fact that the Swiss government hag been hesi- tating about adhering to the lgague, fearing that Switzeriand’s | neutfuiity would be seriously affected. The lat- est advices from that country are that the government probably would await the action of the United States senate before determining its own course.

Marshal FFoch saiq he did not expect to find time to produce any work on the war or for his reception at the French Academy.

Hughes, who voiced dis approval of the Assembly’s course in a letter to Speaker Sweet, will be among the number if he can be induc- ed to accept a retaiper, it was said. Plans wére made at the conference Lfor a finish fight in behalf of the five men who were victors at the polls in the last election. Most of the law- vers who will defend them with the exception of Morris Hillquit, who will be chief counsel, will not be social- ists. “We have rec ed offers from num- villing to expose gross misconduct on #fie part of some mem- bers of the assembly who are not so- cialists,” was the statement made by S.

He does not recognie his son and said he eould not recall any of his antecedents. Dr. Brand, who is an accomplished musician, went to St. Andrew’'s Epis- copal church at Lambertville today and played a number of selec®ins on the organ. Only his son, the Rev. J. T.
