No Need for More Notes
"The Daily News" while treating
Germany's declaration of blockade
of Europe and war on humanity" as
the last card of a nation in eXtremls,
emphasizes that the last effort OF "a
desperate nation may have grave con-
sequences on its enemies, and foresees
the possibility that it may involve
Great Britain in a situation of great
gravity. As regards the United States,
"The Daily News" says the effect OF
the note must be revealed in few
hours.
"The Daily Mail" regards the Ger
man note in effect as declaration OF
war on the United States. because its
demands do not admit of discussion
1.-THE Mail" says:
"The United States is formally and
peremptorify ordered to surrender It's
sovereignty over its own ships on the
high seas and is haughtily demanded
to submit to degrading and illegal re-
strictions. The Germans have made
another colossal psychological miscal-
culation, such as they made when they
invaded Belgium.
"The Daily Telegraph" says:
"In her frenzy Germany has mis-
taken her own interest. Won Beth
mann -Hollweg's speech is the most
brazen-faced declaration of which his
tory holds a record. In order to strike
at England Germany has declared war
on the whole community of peaceful ma
tons, and in so doing stabs civilization
in the back with felon's weapon
"The Telegraph" admits that the po-
sition is embarrassing for the Allies
and that the new campaign may do
them grave injury before it is over
come, and expresses the greatest sym
pathy for President Wilson, for whom
it has no word of criticism.

THE TOY THAT GREW UP

When most OF us were young VIC
had wonderful toy, a half'magic
plaything with an impressive name-a
Kaleidoscope. When we held it to
one eye and looked down the barrel
there was presented brightly colored
picture-fowers, and people and ami
mals,~and stars and diamonds, forms
without end. Each time one gave it
a turn there appeared a change Of
colors, and shift of form that made
a new picture, so strange and fascin-
ating that it held our eyes for hours.
But after d time there were so many
other toys we forgot this curious pic
ture and dream maker-until one
day when we were quite grown up VIC
came upon that old toy again, grown
up too, only this time it's name was
not Kaleidoscope. 1t was city.
The toy grown up renews its fascin'
alton, for the glittering bits of glass
that once made our wonder plaything
have become human beings, and again
the pictures change at ever turn.
Throngs of people threading the
mighty tangles of streets. giant build.

sweating in the fierce heat of the
blast furnaces and swinging over the
great ships in the river, weaving the

pictures of myriad children in schools,
of worshippers In churches of sad
folk in hospitals, gay folk in theaters,
of workers, and dancers, of dreamers,

PLANS TO DISPOSE
Of LIBERTY BONDS
DURING INTERVALS
Sales to Continue Through Banks
in Periods Between the

Washington. Nov. 10.--Plans for con

tween period of intensive campaigns
through disposal of bonds by banks
and other large purchasers to indi
viduals who have not already sub
scribed to the extent of their ability
were formulated today by governors
of the II district reserve banks, in
conference with Secretary McAdoo
and the federal reserve board.
AS one detail of comprehensive
scheme for preparing the nation to
absorb other war loans, the reserve
banks will urge that members banks
dispose of liberty bonds now held by
them, trying particularly to place
them with farmers. To assist in this
movement, the governors suggested
that the government maintain an &C
tive public system to emphasize the
need of bond buying by persons of
small means.

THE BIG THREE

English labor is determined to

This from Jim Lord, an American
workingman just returned from Eng

stands out in comparison with the
black facts and forcbodings that clog
the cables from Italy and Russia.
England is solid" And so is
France. And so is America. 1t has
but to be realized right here and now
that upon these three depends the
ultimate winning of the war.
Recent developments make 1t more
apparent than ever that Russia and
Italy are not to be counted on for too
much. The Russians have retired
Their country is torn with dissension;
tho crest" that kerensky insists Oh Is
imperative-for them. But for us
there can be no rest.
The Italians are still fighting
bravely. But they are fighting on the
defensive. 10 turn that defensive
once more into an offensive is going
to require all the backing we can give
them-shclls and ships, food and fuel
And probably English and French and
American soldiers on the lsonZO front
before the thing is finished.
In this country so far we have
buckled down to our new big JOB in
fine STYLE We have raised unheard
of sums of money. We have made over
an old army and created a new one.
Already we arc represented on the
fighting line.
It is to be expected that Americas
entrance into the struggle will bring
about a closer coordination of the al
lied driving power on all fronts. With
the big Three" and what they stand
for fully recognized, difficulties in the
way of adequate cooperation are won
dcrfully simplified.
Considering all of which, this is
certainly no dark day for us, despite

lodges of hattle"-the Russian edge
