THINKS OF AMERICA

It aopqStfttea takes the new-comer
to aypreeiate America. The native-
born is often too dose to the situa-
tioh id realize what this country
ataKki'ifo the world today. He is used
to all feat it offers, taking it as a mat-
tar of Course, and frequently loses the
vlstoa in sordid detail; .while the
new-comer—but listen to what one of
them had to say.
Ha Is Oeorga E. Rihbany of the
lilt elaas of the Boston High School
of Commerce and ha came to this
country from his native land, Syria,
whan he was It yaara old. In a four-
minute speech on the value of War
Savings Stamps, given et the school
recently, he said In closing:
"Mete is not characteristic of the
American people, but the Germans
taught us unwillingly how to hate
them. Now It Is a ein not to hata the
spirit tht Hun showad and not to abol
ish It frpm the face of the earth. Of
the latter we are positively sore, be
cause thp American passion for fus
tics la a hundrad times stronger than
coming an orator and I am sure that
I lack oratorical ability, hut auch
qualillcations are dnnecesaary Ml an
occasion Him this, because the only
and beat inducement to a true Ameri
can is the call of his duty and govern
ment, and not even the best oration of
the greatest speaker of all times.
“Whether we all realise it ■or not
we are aotr in the midst of a period
which will be known to all the op
pressed peoples of the world as the
Americanisation period. Now ia the
time for every one of us to prove
whether he is a sham American or a
genuine American.’’
The practice of thrift and the pur
chase of War Savings Stamps are Just
now good indications of the genuine
American. They make for flhancial
Independent, freedom, proaperity and
bappineea.

Various ways for prospective inves
tors to detect the unscrupulous stock
promoters are contained tn»a bulletin
recently iasued by the National Vigi
lance Committee ef the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World. The
bulletin indicates several unmistaka
ble algns of the “wild cat” stock p*d-
diets which owners of War Savings
Sumps and Liberty Bonds will do well
to consider before exchanging their
valuable securities for the offerings
of northern stocks. The warning to
prospective Investors Is aa follows:
“So far as we have been able to as
certain not a etegle case has evsr been
reported where the promoters of a le
gitimate, worthy tnUrprlss have of
fered to tgke Liberty Bonds In pay
meat for the eapkal stock of a new
company. We believe that the very
offer to take Liberty Bond# should
piompt the bond owner to consult a
banker or legitimsU broker aa to the
value of the stock that is offered in
exchange tor the bonds. The offer to
exchange la an earmark which should
serve as a warning.
"Another earmark of the faker is

tion. He will usually sneer at'the
thought of consulting a hanker or
broker of sUndiag. suggesting that
of course, they would not recornmend
the stock because they have stoeka of

“In auch a case the prospective In

Just how good American mousy

'JUastrated by tha story told by one of
(lt0Be”'boys who fought Jin France In
tha war for the preservation of cfvil-
isatlon, and who afterward# saw ser
vice across the bbrder in Germany. .
Sergeant H. H. Coffee was attached
to Company L, 3S4th Infantry, and tor
six months was at Trier, Germany, M
miles from LuxembCrg. Now he Is
back home.
“While we were in Francf,” celd
Sergeant Coffee, "we were paid In
French money. And afterward, when
we were In Germany, we were paid la
Berman money. The difference be
tween the French and Ge{m*n money,
as compared with United States mon
ey, is amaslng. It Is printed on white
paper, and one geta an awful wad of
tt for comparatively a small quantity
of American money. *
“When we got this foreign staff tbs
beys were very •liberel fr with it. They
would gamble with it, 'would lend it
and handle It very carelessly. But
when Ve got to Brest on our wuy
homo, anB that money waa exchanged
for real American money, all that lib

That Is one of the lessons the war
has taught American thoney, any
promise to pay on the part of Uncle
Sam, Is mighty valuable In the eyes
of the world.- Thal ia why the Libert

that is why the War Saringa Stamps
look Just as good as money. They are
both evidences of indebtedness on
Uncle Sam’s part and his written
promise to pay. There Is no record
yet that he ever failed to meet an
