THE LIBERTY LOAN.

Although no daily report is being given as to the progress which is be.- ing made with the Liberty loan. there al reas1ns foP Relieving that the peo lie of inc coi!E-ry, the fellow wEo works fer a dsIj.y wage as well as those who are "ssed as wealthy. are recognizing the opportunity which Is furnished thereby of displaying their patriotism and at the sama time of making a profitable investment.
 In participating in the Liberty loan. it must be remembered that one is buying government bond the amount thereof being in accordance with his financial ability. and whether 1t is purchased outright or on the in staliment plan. it means that no bet ter security is obtainable. Tie gov ernmeHt stands back of each and ernment stands back of each and every bond, whether the amount is $50 or a million. Subscribing to the loan does not mean 8 gift. The money will be returned and in addition there will be the yearly dividend of three and a half per cent. The opportunity is therefore afforded for many who have been putting their surplus money into savings banks and into postal say ings funds to purchase a new form of security which carries with it the hiSHeSI oegree or safety, and 1nas- much as there is always ready mar ket for a United States bond, it is far preferable to having the money tied up without interest at home.
 Everyone who invests in a Liberty bond purchases a government prom ise to pay. It means buying govern ment securities, the term Liberty loan being applied to this particular issue of bonds to distinguish it from all others and to indicate the use to which the money realized therefrom by the government is to be put Whether it is for a small or large amount, each and everyone should make effort to become the posses sor of at least one of them

REMOVE THEM AT ONCE.

In view of the disclosures which have taken place within the recent past,and the recognition of the fact tfat the spy system Of the enemy in this country is highly developed, there can be no surprise at the intirna clon which comes from Washington to the effect that this government may suggest to the Swedish and Swiss legations that it is the wish of this country that there should not be any Germans CT Austrians upon such legation staffs. The real surprise in connection with such a statement comes from the fact that this step was rot taken some g time ago, following the breaK in dIplo- Tnatic re1a tions or after the decla ra- ton that this country was in a state of war with Germany.
 Understanding the close relationship of Germany and Austria. and the methods which have been adopted by the former to defy the laws of this country and to overstep the rights belonging to those in it's service 1t Is tach to any and all of the subjects of those countries who may be en- gagged in diplomatic work Tn this country regardless of the legation to which they may be attached. The in- timation is that there are such repre- sentatives in these legations, and such being the case there is doubtless a reason for it. Whether they were re- sponsible for the information which was given to Berlin about the sailing of the United States destroyers, or even suspected of it, is not disclosed, but there can be no question about the advisabflity of denying the enemy the possibility of any such aid. We are taking chances as long as they remain and the quicker they can be removed from their points of vantase which gives them inside information, the better it will be for the interests of the country.

"Wartime'' Prohibition.

NIT. Editor: One of the graphic arsu- ments in support of o-called war time' prohibition that is being put forth over the signatures of i've col lege professors, O. k.d by three other equally eminent college instructors, purports to show the exact number of pounds of foodstuffs being used by the liquor industry. In arriving at the to- tai there is included about one billion and a half pounds of s'rnolasses.' which in weight is about 4e per cent. of the amount estimated used in the manufacture of distilled liquors every year.
 Now every man in the trade knows that this so called molasses is not the molasses found in the corner grocery but an inedible refuse that is cast aside in sugar refining
 senate May 12th, Mir. Broussard of Louisiana called the attention of his conferes to the facts in the case, say ing:
 '-The molasses out of which alcohol is made is not edible. It Is the refuse of refined sugar, and up to the time it was manufactured into alcohol it was thrown away. It would be thrown away now if not used in the manufac- ture of alcohol. It does not enter into ago. might say to the senator. it was customary to throw it away, and the government was put to a great deal of trouble to prevent the dumping of this molasses into navigabl streams there by destroying the fish"
 The fact that five college eceninnists have included this billion and one half pounds of inedfble refuse as food stuf' in arriving at their statement of food materials used for dfstillation and the fact that three other equally prominent college economists have re- viewed the figures and have given them their approval. shows how dangerous it is to be hasty in arriving at conc-u- sions in a matter so important as that under consideration involving as it does an industry in which there are billions invested. upon which the gov ernment Is relying for hundreds of millions in revenue, and upon which hundreds of thousands are dependent for their daily bread
