An All-American Loan.

The greatest success of the Liberty
Loan will lie in the wide spread of the
subscriptions rather than in the volume
Of large takings by corporations or
persons of great wealth. The more uni
versal the response to the appeal for
war funds the more substantial the sup
port given by the people, however small
may be their individual subscriptions.
AT the outset of the bond sale The
Evening Star Newspaper Company pro-
posed that its employees buy Liberty
bonds on a deferred payment basis.
Out of 1SS who receive as much as
$1,000 year 179 have already sub
scribed for at least one bond, and 20
employees who receive less amount of
pay annually have also subscribed.
This proportion of subscriptions is
exceedingly gratifying, and indicates a
hearty response to the governments
call for funds. If it is maintained
through the country, if all other Ameri-
cans do az well by the loan as The
Stars employees have done, the war
bond issue will be a magnificent success

had things their way. In 1912 they pre-
scented Gov. Marshalrs name for the Bal
timore nomination, and were strong
enough to land second place for him.
At st. Louis last year he was renominated
by reclamation.
Both parties in the state are support
ing the war. Indiana has d fine fight
ing record She distinguished herself in
the civil war, both by the large number
of troops she contributed to the Union
cause, and by taking the very best care
of the situation at home. One of the
most eminent and useful of the war
governors produced by that struggle
was her governor-Oliver P. Morton.
He gave the strictest attention to all
war questions and duties, and saw that
"Morton's boys"-as the Hoosier sol
diers were called-had everything it was
in his power to provide.
So that the war does not enter into
the present equation; and probably
nothing will be heard about it in next
months campaign. Republicans and
democrats will face each other on do
nestle issues, partly national and partly
local. and have it out in old hammer
and-tongs style.

Element for the future domination Of
the republic. In certain parts Of Brazil
these Teutonic centers have since the
outbreak of the troubles given the gov
eminent at Rio much concern through
their activities. They have, however,
been suppressed.
In its possible influence upon the
course of other South American coun-
tries the decision of Brazil is likely to
be far-reaching. Chile is already re-
ported to have prepared to follow suit
if Brazil declares war. The Argentine
has voted to remain neutral, but there
is a powerful anti-neutrality sentiment
there, and it cannot fail to be reawak-
ened by the decision of Brazil to join
the anti-Teutonic forces. This would
be most disastrous to German interests.
The chief immediate effect of the en-
try Of these South American countries
into the war is likely to be the closure
Of all ports to any possible raiders or
submarines. if Germany undertakes a
transatlantic sea campaign. The ulti-
mate effect, however. is the more impor-
FAINT, in its bearing upon German trade
interests. If South America is alienated
now Germany's commerce in the days of
rehabilitation will be tremendously cur
tailed, for in that quarter it was before
the outbreak of the war great and in
creasing factor of Teutonic prosperity.

The Coming Debate.

The coming debate in the Senate on
the revenue measure promises to take
a wide range It should. The subject
is of extraordinary interest. 1t touches
everywhere between the two oceans. The
logger in Maine and the grape grower in
California; the manufacturer in New
York and the rancher IN Texas; capital
and labor in all sections and in every
state, await the new law for filling the
governments purse. All expect to con-
tribute and are willing to contribute.
but have right to demand and do de-
mand that the assessments be equitable
toward all.
We shall hear something about the
tariff. When have we not heard some
thing about the tariff? Many congress
sional roads lead to that topic. 1t is
difficult indeed to keep either the tariff
or the Constitution out of congress
sional debate when the participants
warm up and get going in easy style.
And now there are new wrinkles to
the tariff. For one, Mr.. Kitchin has
made the discovery, and frankly con-
fessed their weight on him. Influenced
by what he considered his present duty,
he swallowed some lifetime tariff con
victions when he voted on the revenue
bill in the House. Shall we see an ex-
hibition of this in the Senates
Then there is the question of revenue
as relating directly to the war. The
government needs more money than ever
before. 1t is engaged in war the like
Of which it has never known before. It
has been to war before, but not to war
on worldwide scale. No man com
manding the public ear is undertaking
to predict the length of the struggle, or
estimate our share of the total cost.
This much, however. is believed to be
certain: The war will be fought to
finish, with the bills the heaviest in both
blood and treasure the world has ever
been called upon to meet
Hence, the money provision Congress
is now making will not be the only one
for us. 1t may be but one of several.
Why, then, should not this first pro-
vision be calculated accordingly Why
should taxes be laid in such an enor-
nous sum as an initial steps Why
not when the prospect is that the bur
den may have to be borne for some time
adjust it at the start so as to make it as
easy as possible to the shoulders which
must now do their bita

Brazil and Germany.

Braziis revocation of the neutrality
decree is forecast by the action of the
chamber yesterday, when by a vote of
1876 to 3 n measure to that effect was
adopted A full entrance into the war
by Brazil is now indicated Already it
is limited that Germany may take the
initiative and herself declare war upon
Brazil, though there is no conceivable
warrant for such an action, and it would
be strangely at variance with the Ger
man policy with respect to the United
States. Thus far Germany has not ac-
knowledged our declaration that a state
of war exists.
Brazil is in position TO infliet much
harm upon German interests, both now
and after the war. Time was when Ber-
lin looked toward Brazil as possible
German colony. Large numbers of emf
grants were sent there, deliberately dis
patched by the government, it was be-
heved, to lay the foundations Of set

Tonight's Bond Rally.

Tonight's rally at Central High School
in the interest of the Districts sub
scription to the liberty loan should be
well attended and should result in big
addition to the local bond sale. The
slogan has been sounded, "Ten Millions
for Washington" 1t should be easy to
reach this figure. Already more than
half of the amount has been subscribed,
and the daily additions are gratifyingly
large. But they are not large enough
to reach the ten million point. or even
the $s,5O0,00o mark by the 18th of June.
A faster rate of subscription must be
established. There is money enough
here is Washington to absorb $10,000,000
of liberty bonds without any disturb
ance of business
This is a patriotic matter, duty that
rests upon all citizens alike. The loan
units have been put low enough to en-
able almost any person to take a bond.
A $50 bond can be bought by paying 81
down on the 18th of June, SO on the LIST
of July and the other $40 in three in
stallments up to the last day of August.
On those terms bond buying is easy.
At the high school rally tonight the
whole process of bond buying will be
explained and the advantages accruing
to bond owners will be set forth and
bond will be expounded. If there is any
person in this city who does not know
just what government bond is and
what it will do and how to get it, he
should attend the meeting at the Cen
trail High School tonight.

Indiana,

Gov. Goodrich of Indiana has called a
special election for June &c to fill the
vacancy in the House oceasioned by the
death of Mr.. Comstock of the sixth dis
trict. This gives a month for the cam
paign. In a few days both parties will
hold nominating conventions.
Mr.. Comstock was a republican, and
his party will make a strong effort to
retain the seat.
In November last Indiana went re-
publican by substantial majority. The
contest was vigorously conducted by
both sides. Adding to its importance
and interest, both United States sena-
torships were in the scale. Mr.. New and
Mr.. Watson defeated Mr. Kern and Mr..
Taggart, who were then in commission.
That result marked the return of the
state to an old allegiance. For many
years Indiana had republican local gov
eminent, and gave her vote to~Eepubli-
can presidential tickets. The tariff had
much to do with it. Protection encour-
aged manufacturing, and many indus
tries with large connections were estab-
lished.
Then. came the swing to the other

administration Disloyalty.

Arrests for the offense of discourag-
ing registration are reported from diff
ferent parts of the country. The gov
ernment is active in its work of en-
forcing the law and the capture of a
number of anti-draft agitators will
doubtless have a good effect in putting
stop to this disloyal business.
For long time before the United
States entered the war it was freely
predicted that the moment this country
broke relations with Germany there
would be a severe reaction here against
the participation of America in the con-
test Tens of thousands of German
Americans, it was forecast, would rise in
arms. Reprisals in secret would be nu-
merous and continuous. Plots would be
Matched against the security of the gov
eminent.
Nothing of the kind has occurred. The
German Americans have demonstrated
their loyalty to most gratifying ex-
tent There have been no open express
sions of disapproval of the governments
course on their part If any of them
are in spirit hostile to the United States
they are keeping their sentiments quiet.
If they are plotting they are doing so in
profound secrecy.
The anti-registration agitators who
nd
there are in all likelihood not German
Americans, but simply radicals of no
particular national origin, chronic OPP
ponents of all forms of law and gov
eminent, fanatic pacifsts, conscientious
DIRECTORS" to war and the means of max
ing war, no matter what the cause or
how great the provocation. Down in the
mountains of southwest Virginia band
of them has been discovered, and the
of the old feud gangs, veritable bandits.
There is difference only in environ
ment between the man who sneaks
about with his anonymous circulars and
posters and urges the people to resist
registration-as if that would be of any
avail-and the Virginia mountaineer
who defies authority and sets up the
standard of outlawry. Of the two, if
there is any choice, the latter is the
more honorable in his opposition But
both are engaged in futile effort. Moth
ing the sneak or the bandit can do will
stop the registration or the raising
through it of citizen army, its mem
bers loyal to the core and eager to do
service for the country.
1t is the duty of all good citizens to
report promptly any expressions they
may hear in disparagement of the reg
istration or in opposition to the process
of drafting or selecting an army.
| Prompt punishment should be meted out
to every person who in any manner or
/ to any degree undertakes to interfere
with full response on the part of those
subject to registration next Tuesday.
| The fact that these endeavors are idle,
doomed to the most complete failure,
should not cause them to be overlooked
or condoned.
