GIVE EXHIBITION OF LOYALTY
West Indian Possessions Of Britain
and France Have Sent Their
Sons to the War.

None of these lands of the Lesser
Antilles has prospered quite as much
as Cuba, Porto Rico and Panama dur
ing the last Is years, owing to the pc
culiar relations of these three cOun.
tries to the United States. But they
have prospered far more, they have
infinitely better and juster govern
ments, than most of the revolution
ridden republics" that face on the
Caribbean and the Mexican gulf; from
the standpoint ct life, liberty and prop
erty, they are beyond comparison bet
ter living places for rich men and es-
pecially for poor men.
They reflect honor on the nations to
which they belong; the public servants
are upright, fearless and efficient. The
English colonies regard England, and
the French colonies France, with de-
voted loyalty-a loyalty,which in each
case has been well earned by the moth
er country. Everywhere we found that
the young white men had thronged to
the Support of the mother country In
the war-almost every family we met
had kinsmen at the front.
Even more striking was the genuine
loyalty Of the colored men and. black
men to the flags under which they had
found justice. Thousands had volun.
tered from the British colonies. Mar.
Unique and Guadeloupe were under
conscription, like France; and these
two islands, with less than half mil
lion population, had sent $4,000 SOL

THE GOVERNMENT AND
 PAID ADVERTISING

The question of whether the United States government should engage in a policy of paying for advertisement in the newspapers has been much agi- tated of late, especially in regard to the selling of Liberty Loan bonds. This being strictly money matter the question comes up more squarely m connection with it than with regis ration, food conservation or other governmental matters given publicity.
 Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury has issued a statement dealing with this matter After referring to the great amount of advertising patrioti- caIy given to the Liberty Loan bonds n the first campaign by newspapers and other advertising agencies. and by banks and other concerns and by mdlyduals the secretary contradicts
 ne impression that the government in .ne nrst Liberty Loan campaign asked TOT Tree advertising or paid for any advertising in the newspapers. The great success of the loan he attributes Ill d very great degree to the volun- .'fy and patriotic work and advertis
 ulg space patrlotically given free to 'ne government.
 While acknowledging the trcmend- OuS value of advertising the secretary pOlh'S out that the relation of the gov Y '""ei'' to the press and to the pub U. generally Is such that the question Vt pa'a advertising by it presents pOOem p very much more complex .-. " u would be to a private enter p'''e' n The government cannot use ta' t same thorough discrimination as w..',, r' mediums it should use. but a aOu'u De obliged to be thoroughlv ot ONi''lc and impartial and the cost y,oat all undertaking would be very stia" sa' ana, ana would exceed the appropri-
 ,Vn % available under the existing law. tbo s secretary, however, states that sid.raa a''er Is being very carefully con ,;aeteu' ,; but a decision cannot be ar had os at until better knowledge is and nn.9 ,O 'ne cost of the campaign for ha la'l the appropriation available Congress-. ~ mas been settled by

pean system that has been adopted here, each regiment will have a re- serve battalion of 612 men from whom to draw for the filling of vacancies. These reserve battalions are enumer- ated with the 10000 men who have been assigned to the Eighty-ffth Division.
 Capt. Cartmell, U.

we must learn to like it. But the boy
says probably the lone solitary presi-
dent couldn't enforce this cOmpul-
sorry training on us unless there was
a real danger threatening US and the

Then it wouldn't be the president
that was the tyrant, but the people.
If the danger was imaginery we
would find it out in a couple of years
and would have the law repealed.
We have to put power in the hands
of somebody to look after our public
affairs. We have a string on our
public officers, not as short as it
should be yet, and if we keep cool
and read Mark Twain and the joke

make things right when they get
wrong. If we doubt our own wis
