29. Precautions are being taken at Camp Cody to prevent the soldiers being fleeced as have been the men In several other cantonments, by loan sharks. Many of the men feel at times lit need of ready money, and, as many of them have Liberty Bonds, the temptation to borrow on them Is great. The loan sharks are specializing in loans on Liberty Bonds, giving men from half to three-quarters of the face value of the bond and charging as high as 10 per cent for a short accommodation. Open market quotations on the bond carry only a sllgfht discount, while they are worth the market price at any reputable bank.

These doubtless would loan on them at a reasonable rate.

The roports are from authoritative sources, and when all the counties have reported the defense council will have a record of every bond purchased. The information Is to be kept confidential, but it is believed it will prove benoflclal in enabling the sale of the third issue to be carried Oil more Intelligently. The patriotism of every person la recognized until he has proved himself unworthy, and If the former two sales have not enlisted support in quarters where strong support should have been expected, this will be ascribed to a lack of understanding' of the need.

Of the state's for the campaign of exterminating wild animals, no money will be expended for bounties and the hides will become the property of the state. Hunters under biological survey will do the killing, and will make their first onslaught against coyotes.

The money appropriated for use against rodents, the state'B $15,000 at least, will go entirely for necessary materials, mostly poisons. Mer chants In the vicinity where the work is carried on will be requested to furnish the necessary grain free of cost. Lessees and buyers of state lands will be required to co-operate and poison rodents oh their land that lies in the region where operations are being carried on. County coun cils of defense where operations are under way are expected' to furnish necessary labor without cost, to distribute the poisons and the auto minute men of the neighborhood will be called upon for men and machines for necessary transportation without remuneration. It Is the Intention to distribute as sitance to the various counties as the need and the circumstances will dictate.

This reply elicited applause. As to the British tanks, the Major said they had undoubtedly saved many lives but they are not of great use on soft ground. They have proved the only feasible means of attack against the concrete pill boxes which their machine gun fire have been unable to injure. Before concluding his lecture the speaker referred to the "brutality and cuBsednets" of the Germans in sawing down entire orchards in France before they retreated an act without military value, he said, but performed to bring despair to the French heart. iHe declared it had the opposite effect and aroused the French nation to greater courage, and to a determination to make even greater sacrifices to beat back "the (Continued trom Page 11 down ten machines and fie French two.

Towards night the enemy began the concentra tion of reinforcements In an effort to redeem the situation.

To give an idea of the spirit of tile young men who are the Ger mans out of France and Belgium and who have put the Germans where they are today, the speaker told of a soldier who was wounded In the Jaw by an exploding shell. Despite the horrible suffering he endured the man walked a mile and a half, sent back telephone messages to his own lines and then walked back. "There are hundreds of Instances like that, the men not getting or taking particular credit for It" he said. Tile Major here concluded what he termed a rough outline of the work as -Passachendaele with the declara tion that no fighting at any time had been done under such conditions, horses and men being drowned in shell holes.

"And do they use them?" persisted the Interrogator, "Aye" replied the Mbjor solemnly. The audienre burst Into applause. Prisoners Are Young The speaker said that tte prisoners taken are rather of the medium type, many of them appearing to be boys 16 years of age. "How do the German troops com pare with the British and Canadian on battle line?" the lecturer was aoxed. "In my opinion, there Is no compari son' was the The men do not seem to have any initiative." The speaker explained that th? Germans have "the tauilga" by reason of their bettor position, retreating always on firm ground and balng appointed by railways behind them.

Sigh of Relief 4 Asked about the feeling th French had when the American troops irriy ed the Major said that a sigh of relief was heard in Paris when the United States, landed troops in France. Ha explained that it was not thought likely that the Sammies could arrive, In great numbers until July of this year, but it seems certain that the French can bold out until that time when they expected large numbers of HoMlers from across the raas.
