for the men of Uncle Sans navy will
be as merry as good dinner and gifts
from home can make it. Only such
work as is absolutely essential will be
the rule aboard the fighting craft.
The navy has seen to 1t that Q
Christmas feast-the equal or superior
of the best hotel in the lands pro-
vided for the fighters. Turkey or
chicken, celery, olives, 'scalloped oys-
tiers, cranberries, mince pie, coffee,
cigars and cigarettes will. be on the
menus of practically every fighting
ship.

Some of the destroyers patrolling
European waters may miss out on
some of these deIicacies. but arrange
ments were made sometime ago for
distribution of Christmas gifts sent by
relatives and institutions.
Heavy sweaters and helmets, knitted
mittens and such gifts, to shield men
from the biting winds of the Atlantic
are chief among the presents for
warded.
Some of the more fortunate jackies,
whose ships are off American ports,
are on leave and rushing to their
homes today for a reunion with their
families. Trains from training camps
are speeding thousands of men for a
day at home on Christmas.

are going to have a feast in camp
Christmas day. Every barrack will
have a tree, and each will be given a
Christmas package, the gift of the Red
Cross and of local organizations.
Company mothers are arranging
special features for their companies.
OF course, there'l be turkey with all

Liberty Is Not License.

Attorney Daniel O'Connell was SEN
fenced to seven years in a federal pen
itentiary by District Judge Van Fleet
at San Francisco for conspiring to OBJ
struct the selective draft law.
1.-The act for which you stand con-
victed was very close to treason,
declared Judge Van Fleet in sentenc
ing O'Connell. Internationally the
things you have done Ore directly
intended to stab your country in the
back All men are entitled to the
right of free speech if the exercise of
such right does not obstruct the laws
of the country"
Judge Van Fleet, in his statement
preceding the sentencing of O'Connell
said in part:
THAT the American Patriots organ
ization was formed to bring about a
test of the selective service law is
wholly unsupported. The evidence
shows no effort was made to have a
case presented wherein you proposed
to have the matter decided.
"Your actuating motives, it may be,
as 1t appears to me, were inspired by
racial differences. No one has the
right to come to this country and al
low racial differences to interfere with
our laws. 1t cannot be recognized as
giving license to do a thing in this
country like this when we are in dire
trouble, and which tends to Illustrate
our laws" 2
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1917-10-25
Write Letters.

"If you know a soldier lad, write to
him. Tell him anything or nothing.
But write. l know the feeling that
comes when all the rest of the boys
are getting letters from home and
hone comes to you. 1t makes one sick
at heart. Girls can do distinct serv-
ice by writing to their friends and
others in camp. And send little gifts,
too. Send box of candy occasional
ly, and some tobacco. But remember
the lads. They're away from home.
doing strenuous work. We can't feel
that you people back at home are do
ing your full duty II you don't remem-
Der the boys in camp. Remember that
the morale of the troops depends
much upon the attitude of the folks
back home.
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1917-10-25
Liberty Bonds ind Thrift.

New York, Oct. "a Liberty Bond
is a diploma in the school Of thrift,
declared s. w. Straus, President Oh
the American Society for Thrift, in a
statement to the members of that or
ganization today. "a subscription to
this issue is the best way to begin a
thrifty life" Secretary McAdoo is
asking for subscriptions from 10000,
900 Americans. If he is successful in
this feature of the loan it will mean
that thousands of our citizens have for
the first time in their lives begun the
accumulation of something for old age
or the rainy day.
LET me appeal especially to the
man or woman who has gone along
thus far in life with absolutely nothing
laid by. Not only does your country
need your help in this matter but you
need it even more. This Liberty Loan
is going to be success, for America
knows not how to fail, but you will
keep on being an individual failure
unless you arise to this opportunity.
A Liberty Bond or two tucked away
in safety deposit vault will bring you
more pleasure than the same amount
invested in any other way. Once a
saver always a saver. The person
who hasn't enough moral stamina to
save money for such a cause as this
is pretty apt to be a failure in life.
Prove your worth and give your own
future a chance by subscribing for
this loan. You need it as much as 1t
needs you"
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1917-10-25
Amerlca,s Cause for War.

"The new German policy swept ev-
cry restriction aside. Vessels of every
kind. whatever their flag, their char
acter, their cargo, their destination,
their errand, have been ruthlessly
sent to the bottom without warning
and without thought of help or mercy
for those on board, the vessels Of
friendly neutrals along with those OF
belligerents. Even hospital ships and
ships carrying relief to the sorely be
reaved and stricken people of Bel
GUM. though the latter were provided
with safe conduct through the pro
scribed areas by the German govern
ment itself and were distinguished by
unmistakable marks of identity, have
been sunk with the same reckless lack
of compassion or of principle.
81 am not now thinking of the loss
of property involved, immense and
serious as that is, but only of the wan
ton and wholesale destruction of the
lives of noncombatants, men, women
and children, engaged in pursuits
which have always. even in the dark
est periods of modern history, been
deemed innocent and legitimate. Prop
erty can be paid for; the lives OF
