TO L SUBSCRIBERS

Look on the margin of your pa.
per and you will find the date of
the expiration of your subscrip-
tiOn. The first number indicates
the month, the second one the day
and the third one the year. For
example, should your paper be.
marked 3-14-17, it would indicate
the expiration of subscription on
March IA, 1917. If upon such in
vestigation you find your subscrip-
ton is in arrears, we must insist
that you either send us check to
cover amount due or call at our
office and pay same. Everything
that goes into the making of a
paper now costs much more than
ever before For this reason it
will be impossible for US to carry
subscribers who do not pay
promptly. BY attending to this
at once you will confer a great
favor upon us.

"THE PRINCE OF PEACE"

And he said, II came not to bring
peace, but a sword"
What a strange contradiction, and
how shall we reconcile it?
Again the season is with us when
the hearts of Christendom turn to that
wonderful P' Pality and dwell with
feelings Che col and wonder on the
words that fell from his lips. Again
we commemorate the birth of Him
who shall make US free indeed. But
now we come with hearts bowed down
under a world sorrow and minds cloud
ed by a veil through which it would
seem impossible to pierce. When
we should sing acclaim to the Prince
Of Peace, we look out over a world
drenched in blood. We see on every
hand misery and suffering, human con-
ditions which he gave his life to ale
viate. And it has been so long since
he made the sacrifice, that hope almost
turns to despair.
Can we by any means CLEAN a ray
of comfort from that cryptic remark
which we quote above? Was the om-

We cannot but believe that such wa:
the case. Too well he knew the awful
depravity of the degenerate heart Of
man; too well he knew the fearful
lust Of pride and power against which
he must battle and under which they
must be ground to powder; too well he
knew by what slow degrees the world
would be brought to a realization of
the fact that but one human attribute
can ever be taken into the great be-
yond-love.
1t was said Of him that "he was in
the world and the world knew him
not If the world, then, knew him
not, how much less shall it know his
teachings without dilligent study and
search?
1t would be well for the American
people as they approach the anniver-
sary of the Messianic Birth, to again
fortify themselves with the teachings
of the Son of Man. We should look
into the national heart and see that in
the momentous co@fict before US, we
harbor no unworthy motives by which
may help to defer the consumma-

BOYS TO SOLICIT
Will Ask People to Subscribe to U. S.
Bond Loan.

| New York, June lI.-Twenty million
calls will be paid at American homes dur
| ing the four days beginning tomorrow
by 2Ss,000 boys who, not old enough to
be called to the colors under the con-
scription act, will solicit people to pur.
! chase bonds of the Liberty loan of 1917.
These youngsters, working under the
direction of 900 men, are members of
the Boy Scouts of America and their
campaign is their response to President
Wilson's appeal to them on May 10 to
lend their aid to the secretary of the
treasury in distributing applications and
securing popular subscriptions" to the
loan. The president wrote to the boys
that theirs was "a wonderful opportunity
for every scout to do his share for his
country under the slogan Every scout to
save a soldier
The scouts will go forth with more
than 100000 campaign circulars, which
they will leave at as many homes. Be-
fore Thursday night they will have again
visited the same homes, this time TO col
lect bond applications in which they hope
will be written pledges which will add
millions of dollars to the subscriptions
which have already been made to the Lib
erty loan. These 100000 circulars
We're prepared in the government print
ing once-the Largest job of job print
ing ever handled" there, according to
statement issued from the Boy Scouts
of America national headquarters here.
They represent Is carloads. The circu-
lar makes this appeal to every house
holder:
Let the boy scout who presents this
folder to you take your application for
one or more of these bonds to the bank |
you designate and thus help us in our
efforts to help our country and save the |
lives of our soldiers"
Every scout who obtains subscriptions |
at 10 or more different homes will be |
awarded war service emblem. The

would plant large charges of explosives
right under the enemy's trenches. One
of the duties of those on guard nearest
the enemy was to listen intently for
subterreanean noises indicating such ac-

To plant such series of mines as
were exploded simultaneously yester-

which the great, continuous
battle, already lasting for years, has
assumed.
The immediate object of the latest
phase of the British offensive is to re-
lieve the pressure on battered Ypres
by the capture of Messines Ridge, which
dominates the region. The old Belgian
town has been defended at all costs even
though it has been demolished by Ger

BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS.
Maj. Henry L. Higginson Makes Appeal
to New England.

For the sake of freedom and civiliza
ton. we have entered into this war, ant
have principal part to play in it. MeI
are Forthcoming and we must see to i
that we are not more tender of our dol
lars than of our men.
The small people-the wage earners
the farmers-are taking the Liberty
bonds freely, thus putting into use the
little sums of money which they may
have had in their pockets or in their old
teapots They are not giving their mon
ey, but are simply investing it for their
future Hundreds of people are foregoing
present pleasures in order to take these
bonds, and in that way are doing them
selves and their country great good; and
these small sums will add up to a large
sum.
All the money, whether used for our
own government or loaned to Europe,
will be spent in this country, to be used
in our daily business and for our daily
needs, and will go to the farmers and
all men and women who work for profits
or wages. From all this work the small
and large capitalists will get excellent
returns. In short, these Liberty bonds
may well bring to us great tide OF pros
perity, for the money will not be eaten
or destroyed, but simply used to greater
advantage.
Do people of fair means fully realize
that they must, for their own safety
their own honor and for the sake of the
whole world, take the Liberty bonds
largely, and pledge their credit to take
more? If they do not, and thus endan-
ger the brilliant success of the loan, they
thereby give aid and comfort to their
enemies. and lengthen the war. The cen
trail powers are watching to see whether
we are as one man in support of our gov
eminent, and they will take or lose heart
by our attitude of to-day.
Beyond all the material points lies the
fact that we are in a terrible war for
liberty and civilization, and that we must
win at any cost. We are fighting for
our own beliefs and principles and fight
ing for our own homes. Many people do
not think that these homes are in danger,
but they are woefully mistaken in this
belief and if we were to fail--to lose
our homes, or hold them only at the will
of the commemorative would be value
less. Our soldiers are offering their lives,
and NAV lose them. We are offering our
money and cannot lose it unless we fail
in this war. In the latter case we should |
have to pay huge indemnity. The most |
vigorous prosecution of the war to-day
will give us an early victory.
New England vs. expected to take $780,
100000 of these bonds, and cannot blush |
before the world.

a large lot, and then subscribe for more.

New Jersey Chauvinists.

This is patriotism run mad. II comes

sense of humor, it would provide as Ger

or bust of Heine is allowed in public

also furnish sayings of Goethe; as the

Other text books might be pages of
Sehopenhauer in which he denounced the
elumsiness of the German language as
written by many of their deep thinkers;
pages of NietZsche in which he declared
that German music should be "Mediter-
raneanized." And there are stirring
poems in German, sonorous shouts for
liberty. as it was understood in the time
of Napoleon and in ls4s; liberty of the
individual. liberty of every nation, how
ever small and humble.

committee believes for a moment that

in reply, to Secretary Harding of Ohio
who in the Senate characterized the Sec
retary's campaign of bond selling as
