"On ?November 26 France issues a

an obligation bearing five francs intor

"Too have doubtless bearri your par?

Alter that war there was a loan for the
liberation of territory. This time,
thanks to your efforts, it will be, as
the Minister of Finance said, ".he loan
of victory.'
"Think" about that. Write about it
to your relatives and the friends that
jTOfl left behind at your birthplace. Tell
them that to subscribe to the loan Is
to sft-ve France; that it is to fight for
her with you; that It is to fife JTOB
the most effective aid possible at the
present time, and that it is to assure
your future aod that of your chil?
dren."
The first day's subscriptions to "the
great loan of ??ictory," as the new
Fr<?nch loan fin? been characterized by
' the Minister of Finance, brought out a
greater number of investors to-day than
hr..: been expected. The lines began
forming i\t ?? o'clock at the special loan
windows in all postoffices, at the banks
' and at the headquarters of the loan a'
' the Pavillon de Flore, in the extreme

German Deserter Has No Love
for Land that Seeks His Life
Sickened by Fighting Those He Does Not Hate for a Coun?
try That Thinks Nothing of Him, He Now
Fears Only Return.
Ilcinie Schalt*, deserter, stowaway
and late German private, told a new
kind of ?tory last night. It was a
rather grim narrative of the man with
a country, and of how he had endured
starvation and fear of death in his
struggle to make himself a man with?
out a country.
Considering that it was the story of
himself and of hi? months at the war
front, his revolt against the cruelty of
war and his spectacular ?scope, still
dregst-d in the German uniform, it
would seem that Heinle Schultz migh'.
have put a little more feeling into what
I? ?aid. But he spoke in a flat, dead
tono and without a sign of emotion.
"I don't know what you mean when
yu *-alk about my country," he said,
withoal Aereenesa "It is the place
where they would have me die, that'
1 all. It doe?n't care about me; I don't
i care about it, either."
Still ?g?nnt from his months in the
[traadlos, tw?ntjr*fir? years old, but
shrunken and ag?-?l, Schulti, as he
??poke, was in the custody of the
Dutch freight steamer N'oordordyk, on
which he left Holland os a stowaway,
after escaping from th.* war front and
through the entanglements along the
Holland frontier. Ye<-terday the ship
was docked at Hoboken, and when
she sails back he will probably be
along, to he hainie.l o%?*r t?? *he
English. Hut Schalte doesn't want to
go.
"If I could know that never again
I should see Germany, then I would
be very glad " lie said. "There is no
reaoofl wb) i should want to Ihr? m
Cermany."
lather and Hrother Fell.
In talking Bbout his reasons for de?
sert.ng Scholts mentioned that he and
his COmradOl had BO fooling against
the countries they were fighting, and
Stolidl) remark??! thai "it is not very
nie* to see folks die," gave a phrase or
two to hi? feelings whoa his father
and brother WON knleii, bat expatiated
chit fly on the goo.) man reason that
he ?lid not get enough to ?at during
the month? he fought f??r (iermany.
That seemed to be the tragedy most
firmlj planted in h i mil ?
"Sometimos f?>r three day? I had no
'? ? 1 at :.!!." Schult*, said. "If I asked
for .-ometliirig to eat, I was punished
by being made to do exfrcnes for four
hours. A'nl this was after I had bei'ti
:.g hard, and "ii a", empty stom?
ach."
He ?aid he had been brought up to
that he ought ;o be happv to
? for his country Be was born In I
i Chemnitz ar.d received the usual mili?
?.i" training thon and in Loipoic and
Berlin. He Dad not enjoyed this ..inch,
h?- admitted, for II -?h-- difficult.

"We woald have ?Jone it. anyhow; I
anted to go then," he said, w?th
the expression of one who marvel? ?\1
some MtglOWU feeling.
Schultz said he had fought at Lieg?
and at Antwerp, and that in the bat
tie of the Marne he had been n thl
army division that had been first com?
manded to retreat.
"Most of them were kt'.'.e?!," he ob
serve?! casually. He would no' talk o!
the fighting, nor of his sensation* o?
the battle field, and he looked sur?
prised than any especial fooling ?ral
expected from him.
"They were ju?t like all the other
battles over there for the last year and

We could not make out what we were
fighting for. Then I got the rani that
said my father hail been killed, and
a little later I learned that my brother
was dead, too. Yes. they ?iied for their
country, if you like. Bal I don't want
to do that."
Gradually a plan of escape grew in
his mind. He first drooped out of the
lines at Yser, and from then went to
Lille. He said he live! there two
months wtth a French girl, and won?
dered more and more why he should
have fought her people.
' I hadn't anything against the
French; none of us did, in the trenches.
We fought because we had to," he
commente?!.

van!-' I foaad out that I I ??1 been

Germans."
Going to another village, Schultz met
a man lie had koown befon the war
who had become a smuggler. Hi-r friend
conducted him to the Dutch border-.,
taking him through the entanglement?
at a point where there won 00 elec?

"Hut I was still afraid I would be
taken bark, and I made up my mmd to
be a stowaway," he ?aid. "I thought I
wouid rather starve, even, than to go
back."
The Noorderdyk left Rotterdam No?
vember 11. with Schultz hidden in the
coal bunken. On November 14, when
at Heal, the Knglish boarded the roo*
Ml, but :.o one discovered Schultz.

"It was hard enough to get away, an?l
I don't want to go back again." niter*
nted Schultz, mildly. "I never want to
see Germany again. I <?o not like >*ar.

?'ommander Eva Booth stepped down
from the platform at the Salvation
Army headquarters in Fourteenth
Street last night, wrapped in a heavy
army cape that one of the men hsd
thrown over her shoulders. She had
just finished a talk about her com?
pleted tour of the United States. The
tour had been ?o successful in at least
one of the many meetings she held, she
said, thai sorely even the angels in
Heaven could not bave finished talking
about it. That meeting was almost
four weeks ago at San (Juentm prison,

The. hand en the p'atfortn was play?

tents knelt with heads bowed. An?
other speaker followed Miss Booth on
the rostrum. And then a member of
may said: "Here is a newspaper
man to see you, Miss Booth."
"You wanted to know about my
trip?" she -aid. "Oh, it was wonder
? I! wonderful!"
"Yes, about your trip and other
tilings."
?'What other things?"
"For instance, about Henry' Ford and
his peace plans."

posses? a personality
which far outpoints the price
And, utter all. what is more important than per?
sonality in clothes? Quality and good workman?
ship are necessary, of course, and in Saks Clothes
a man gets both. But it is what he gets in addition
that makes a Saks $20 garment worthy of his pref?
erence. It is personality we are talking about and
not the stereotyped requisites which are too obvious
to discuss. What we have really accomplished in
our $20 productions is to lift them out of the $20
class without disturbing the price.
The fact is?
Saks $20 clothes do not cany around the unwonted ear?
marks of price. But they do carry with them the imprint
of character, in the cut and the making. And that is an
achievement in $20 clothes, as extraordinary as it is rare.
We have introduced into both suits and overcoats at this
popular figure such elegancies of tailoring and finish as
you cannot find in any other clothes at the price, let the
search lead where it may!
