Per cent interest" said banker.
Thomas A. Edison. in urging the
purchase of Liberty loan bonds. said
every one should help because it is
worth something to every one to be
an American citizen. That Is true, II
the war is not conducted successfully
by US and our allies and the German
autocracy is able to dictate terms,
American citizenship will not be
worth what it is today. Every per-
son should do something, and most of
us who can help in no other way can
enlist our dollars.
Those who are considering the ques-
ton of buying Liberty loan bonds
should bear in mind that they are not
called on to donate anything. They
are not approached to contribute one
cent. All that is asked of them is to
buy the securities Of the government
in order that the nation may have
ready cash for it's own and the inn
mediate needs of our allies. The pur-
chaser of the bonds is getting the
safest investment in the world and in
terest on his money.

Testing" the Draft Act

Several attempts to test the con-
stitutionality of the selective draft
act have been made in different parts
of the country with the invariable
result of judicial Endorsement of the
law. Now somo objectors at Cleve-
land have carried a case to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, where it
will probably be decided in the
fall.
No sensible person, however, sup
posses that those making the test
have any hopes of the law being de-
clared unconstitutional. Their pur-
pose, apparently, is much more prac-
teal, namely, to assist them in the
dissemination of their opinions and
to promote, II possible, the antina-
tional campaign being conducted by
few disloyalists If they could
have their way they would reduce
the United States to the chaotic con-
the agitation OF just the same sort
of Impractical visionaries there.
The most extreme pacifists cannot
be more sincerely desIrous of peace
than all other Americans are, but
the rest of us see that peace is to
be obtained only by fighting for 1t,
and to be maintained only by being
able to tight for it. How would these
objectors who want the selective
draft upset protect the country ?
Would they skulk behind the brave
men who have volunteered or who
have responded to the draft? Or
would they seek an injunction from
the nearest court enjoining the
enemy from invading our shores.-

WITHIN THE GATES
OF BESSARABIA
One the Richest Provinces Russia and Great Wine
Making Regon-Its People

almost at the center of the province.
10 the west of Bessarabia lies Ru-
manian Moldavia and to the east the
Russian provinces of Podolia and
Kherson. A successful invasion by
the enemy down the Dniester river
would not only penetrate one of the
richest agricultural sections of Rus
sia, but would take the armies fight
ing and the Rumanian front in the
rear and isolate them or force them
to retreat.
On the other hand, an invading
army would be more than $50 miles
from its base at Lemberg with very
limited transportation facilities for
its rationing and munitioning.
The original inhabitants of Bessa-
rabia are believed to have been Cim-
merians, after whom came the
Scythians. Because it was the key
to one of the approaches toward the
Empire of ByZantium, the province
was invaded by many successive
races during the early centuries of
the Christian era. TraJan incorpo-
rated it with the Province of Dacia,
and in the next century the 'Goths
poured into it. to be followed in
turn by the Huns. the Avars and the
Bulgarians. In the seventh century
a Thracian tribe. known as the Bessi,
SeIIleu LneTe and gave TO the lanQ llS
name. Between 1711 and 1912 it
was the great bone of contention
between the Ottoman Turks and the
Russians. The Russians lost and
recaptured it five times in that CEN
tury. After the Napoleonic wars it
was definitely annexed to Russia, and
it's frontier pushed southwark so as
to include the delta of the Danube.
AS a result of the Crimean war,
Moldavia was given Dobrudja and
other territory, but under the treaty
of Berlin, in 1878, following Russia S
mastery of Turkey and the Congress
of Berlin, Russia secured all of the
territory east of the River Pruth.
Bessarabia's boundary has remained
unchanged from that time to this,
but 1t was reported upon the en-
trance of Rumania into the war that
the latter nation was to have parts
of Bessarabia, Pennsylvania and 9TH
er regions, so as to include within
her domains all territory after the
war that contained II predominance
of Rumanian blood.

Fancy in Nubibus

o, it is pleasant, with a heart at
ease,
Just after the sunset. or by moon
light skies.
To make the shifting clouds be what
you please,
Or let the easily persuaded eyes
Own each quaint likeness issuing
from the mould
OF friends fancy; or, with head
bent low,
And check aslant, see rivers flow OF
gold,
'Twixt crimson banks; and then q
traveller go
From mount to mount, through
Cloudland, gorgeous land!
Or, listening to the tide with closed
sight.
Be that blind Bard. who on Chan
strand,
BY those deep sounds possessed with
inward light,
Beheld the Had and the Odyssey.
Rise to the swelling of the voiceless
sen.
