A German i'psaee Drive. 4"

The New York Times sees, or
thinks it sees, Germany getting
ready for a new 4eace drive. ="
The objects will be twofold, to
keep Russia out of the war and
tp stir up dissension in the Unit
ed States.
According to dispatches re-
ceived from various parts of
Europe the Kaiser and his ad-
visers are only waiting a c. ssa-
ton of the fighting around Arras
to again begin talking about
peace. They are said to believe
that so long as the British and
French armies are making prog
ress it would be useless TO pro-
pose a peace discussion, but if
those armies can be fought into
deadlock, the world would be
willing to consider new peace
proposals.
There is a very simple way to
meet a German "peace drive F"
Let Germany withdraw her ar
mics from Belgium, France, P0-
land, Serbia and Rumania. Let
her call in all her submarines.
Then the allied nations would,
no doubt, be willing to sanction
a truce while peace was discuss
ed. That they would be able to
agree with Germany upon terms
seems doubtful, but it would be
folly to talk peace while Ger
many is occupying stolen terri
tory.
We do not know what effect
vague and treacherous peace pro-
posals would have upon Russia,
but we can feel assured that they
will avail nothing to check the
tide of preparation for aggres-
siVe war by the United States

ShOuterS and Doors

Agar or so ago the supermili-
tant East sneered at the pacifst
Middle West. The subrural val
leys and plains were peopled
with mollycoddles and slackers,
we we're told. The Mississippi
Valley was a dreary waste of ap-
athy.
We now learn that the highest
percentage of volunteer recruits
for our Army and Navy is COM
ing from the Middle West.
The agricultural backbone of
America is good, stiff, hardy
backbone, to be relied upon for
the true Yankee Doodle brand of
patriotism.
They are poor shouters out
there in the Middle West, but
they are great doors.
More power to them.

If by chance a woman does not
become a home maker, but en-
tiers a business pursuit, she
meets unusual difficulties. The
man has been in business for
generations; the woman is a
newcomer. Some employments
are closed to her, either because
they require too great physical
strength or endurance, or be.
cause conventional considerations
forbid. Americans look with
disapprOval upon women's work
ing in the fields, as they do in
foreign countries; and yet there
is much field work that is more
interesting. more wholesome and
much more suitable than some of
the work that American women
are allowed to do-such for ex-
ample, as they do ia laundries
and in factories. Not only are
women considered as invaders in
mems fields, but also they suffer
because men, invading fields
once considered strictly fem
mime, are becoming dressmak-
ers, cooks, laundry managers
and clerks. Moreover, for the
same work women receive lower
pay than men. Do not those,
difficulties constitute a compelI-
ing appeal to give women in
their schooling every possible
equipment for success?-The
Youths Companion.

What d Government Bond Is.

The Government of the United
States has two methods of rails
ing money. One is by taxation.
The other is by the sale of bonds,
which is a method of borrowing
money.
The Government bond is the
printed promise of the Govern
ment to pay back the borrowed
sum of money at a certain time,
and to pay interest on it at reg
ular inaervals until it is repaid.
The Government borrows mon
ey in this way only after it has
been given the right to do so by
act of Congress approved by the
President, and the terms of the
loan are set out in the act.
Back. of the promise of the
Government stands the honor of
the Government and all its tax
ing resources. Really the whole
wealth of the Nation stands be-
hind this solemn promise of the
Government to pay.
This makes a United States
Government bond the safest in
vestment in the world. If the
bond of the United States Gov
eminent is not safe, no property
in the United States is safe. If
the United States can not pay its
bonds, it is hardly probable that
it will be able to protect the cit
liens in their other rights. The
Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are
especially attractive invest
ments Not only have they this
absolute safety characteristic of
all United States bonds but they
are tax free not only from all ex-
listing taxes, but from any war
tax that may subsequently be
levied. No State, city nor coun-
ty may tax them. The inherit
ance tax of the United States and
of some States may affect them,
or rather, affect their transfer
after death of the owner by will
or by inheritance.
Another advantage these Lib
erty Loan Bonds possess is that
is the; Government issues bonds
later on during this war at a
higher rate of interest the hold:
ers of Liberty Loan bonds will be
allowed to exchange at par their
bonds for bonds bearing the high
er rate of interest.

 In other sections the civilian pop ulation at the point of the bayonet was forced to work long hours to throw up trenches and Qualifications for the Teutons.
