Paul Flagg Writes Kansan of Welcome in Alsace
Was With Americans Who Relieved French After Cap-ture of Alsace
A letter received by "Dad" Westfall, pressman of the Daily Kansan, from Paul Flagg, a former member of the Kansan Board, gives some idea of the welcome afforded the American soldiers by the French. The letter is written from Chatillon Sur Seine and follows in part:
"This is a historic old town of twenty thousand. The only remains of a castle built in 808 and destroyed in 1619 is a tower about 60 feet high. Tunnels run for 6 miles in several directions, the chateau surrounded by Joffre he directed the First Battle of the Marne lies just south of town. It is a beautiful building set in a wooded and erasery tract of 15 acres.
"I spent 3 months, June, July, and August, at the front in Alasce with my division in the Vosges mountains. My actual time in the trenches was 12 days, from August 18 till August 30.
"Alsace is a most beautiful country.
Tall mountains with narrow valleys
and pine trees galoreh. The welcome
accorded us in Alsace was touching.
If you remember, Alsace was German
territory before the war and in 1915
was half retaken from the Germans
by the French, who believed they
believed the tired French troops,
and pine trees galoreh. The welcome
we had."
Mr. Flagg does not expect to be home before summer.

selling Liberty Bonds Is Short Changing U.S.
Treasury Department Warns Against Skinners Who Try to Buy War Securities
To the Daily Kansan:
This letter is not a request for publicity for the Fifth Liberty Loan, although there will be a Fifth Loan and we are sure some of your valuable assets are under loan balances, unselfishly lent to the Liberty Loan Committee when it is needed.
this advertising has been minimized in many cities until now it is confined in a large measure to the classified columns of newspapers. But it is still doing a considerable harm to the government, and this organization asks that you, in the direction of co-operation with your government which must float a Fifth Loan and therefore must keep the government bond market stable, refrain from carrying any advertising designed to induce holders of Liberty Bonds to part with their bonds.
Many unscrupulous bond brokers and stock salesmen are doing their government a material injury in some cases. They also advertising to buy Liberty Bonds.
Should owners of Liberty Bonds
feel compelled to sell their securities the logical method of selling is through their banker who will be able to obtain a far better price for them than the pawnbroker, or the man who prizes to buy Liberty, Bonis, will pay.
The war bills must be fully pain and it requires another loan to do it. We are interested, and we believe you are interested also, in the success of the Fifth Loan. There is a sedition act which takes care of the unscrupulous dealer who entices a bond owner to sell hisLIBerty Bond at a loss by the amount he has paid and worth par. But in handling the advertiser who is not actually heard to make this statement there seems to be no penalty.
As a protection to your readers, to your community and to the Treasury Department through its Liberty Loan Committees, national, direct and local, we appeal to you to decline to supply publicity to the man who is hampering the government financing in inducing bond owners to sell their government securities.
