THE LIBERTY LOAN
 AND THE FARMER
By D. F. HOUSTON, Secretary of
 Agriculture.

It is every citizens duty to purchase Liberty bond if he is in a position to do so. Every patriot will regard is as a privilege to participate in the Liberty Loan. He will thereby con tribute directly and effectively to the successful prosecution of the war which Germany has forced upon us. The Nations task is serious one. It faces you and me. If we do not win this war we must prepare ourselves for grave changes in our institutions and to lead a different sort of life from that which we had planned to live-from that which our forefath- CTS died to give us the right to live. We shall indefinitely face the inter ferance of the Prussian autocracy or bear permanently the intolerable bur dens of militarism. To win this war we must have both men and money. I know that every farmer wants to do all in his power for the Nation In this day of trial. He will not only labor to produce the necessary food stuffs but will also generously con tribute of his means to make it pos sible for the men at the front to achieve victory. I am confident that the farmers of the land will not per init any other class to take the lead ership in supporting the Government in this crisis, financially or otherwise.
 We are at war with German because Germany made war upon us, sank our ships, killed our citizens, and plotted against us while protesting friend ship. We were patient till offenses became so fragrant and insults so in tolerable that it was merely a ques- ton whether we would admit that we were no longer a free nation or &C., cept the challenge of the war-mad, hypocritical, and mediaeval Prussian militarists. There was one choice we could not make-we were incapable Of making. We could not "choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our Nation and our people to be ignored and violated"
 We are defending our rights as free nation. We are resolved that there shall be an end of brute force in international affairs. What Ger many's victory would mean to the world is plain. There would be no right except might, no peace save at the price of humiliations too bitter to be borne. Small nations could not exist. There would be no sanctity to pledge, no solemnity to a covenant, With the dominance of Prussian mil itarism, the Anglo-Saxon struggle for free institutions and liberty, persist ing from Runnymede to Yorktown with its Magma Charter, its Bill of Rights, and it's Declaration of lnde- pendence, will have been in vain- It is to prevent this, to defend our rights, and to make possible an or derly and just peace in the world that we are at war. The Nation calls on it's citizens for high and noble service. On some it calls for service in the field; on others for service at home; on all it calls for financial support. I am confident that the farmers of the Nation will eagerly respond to the call for subscriptions to the Liberty I0an.

THE WOOL TRIMMINGS
 MAKE THEIR DEBUT

There is a kind of breathless inter est, here in New York, over the battle of the hustle and the straight silhou- cite. Today, one is sure that the long skirt and tunic, in other words the straight silhouette, is triumphant; to- morrow, there may be seen so many charming examples of the hustle frock, both on the street and on the stage, that one thinks it surely will be accepted. However, at the present moment, the one-piece dress and the frock with the long tunic seem to be the favorites.

WITH BOAT AND SHEET
SAIL TO CHILLY BATH
Harbor Police Rescue 3 Young
Adventures from Hudson

With an old skiff for a craft and
bed sheet for sail, three Edgewater
boys set out yesterday afternoon with
the intention Of sailing down through
the ice-choked Hudson TO the Lower
Bav. But Donald o'Callahan, the fif-
teen-year-old captain, and George Troll
sen. fourteen. and william Smith, thir-
teen. first mate and crew, respectively,
never gave a thought 70 the fact that
there was little wind and the tide was
coming in.
In an hour they we're opposite l5sth
Street, and the floating ice, closing in
around them, had turned the bold
sailormen into Poiar explorers. Fiji
teen minutes later they were just three
scared boys. The ice was battering
their boat so she leaked badly and pre-
vented rescue from the shore.
Finally the harbor police at the Bat
terry were notified, and the crowd on
shore waited anxiously while the police
boat made the long run from the Bat
terry. They were just in time, for the
bows were standing mid-shin deep in
the icy water when they were pulled
from their sinking craft

LAURENTIC SUNK
OFF IRISH COAST
British Auxiliary Cruiser
Is Destroyed by U-Boat
or a Mine

London, Jan. 2S.-The British au1il-
larry cruiser Lsurentic. of 1882 tons
gross. has been sunk by submarine
or as a result of striking mine, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
tonight by the British Admiralty.
Twelve officers and 100 men were saved
The Admiralty statement adds that
the vessel went down off the Irish coast
last Thursday.
The number OF men on the Laurentic
Is net known, but even in peace times
she carried a crew of about 400 men
The fact that only l2l have been saved
indicates heavy loss OF life.
Before being taken over by the Brit
ish Admiralty for auxiliary cruiser
duty the Laurentic was in the Canadian
service of the White Star Dominion
Line. The vessel was owned by the
Ocean Steam Navigation Company, oil
Liverpool.
Held Up American Ship China
In the first two years of the war the
Laurentic was engaged in patrol duty
in the Far East, but several months age
returned to European waters. While in
the Pacific the auxiliary cruiser held
nm and boarded the American steam
ship China, February 10. 1916, while
that liner vas on a voyage from
Shanghai TO San Francisco, and seized
thirty-eight Austrian and German sub
jects.
The Washington government re-
ouested Great Britain 10 order the re-
lease Of the men seized, stating that
their arrest was unjustifable and un-
necessary. The United States took the
ground that the case was an exact
parallel of the famous Trent affair
Being met with a declination by the
British government the State Depart
ment sent second note. whereupon
the British Foreign Office announced
It's decision to release the Teutons.
Built for Canadian Trade
The launching of the Laurentic al
Belfast in 1908 marked the entry OF
the White Star Line into the Canadian
trade in conjunction with the Dominion
Line. The vessel was said 10 be the
first passenger steamship to be fitted
with a combination of reciprocstine
engines with a low pressure turbine.
At that time the Laurentic was tho
largest vessel in the Canadian trade
She was 555 feet long, with beam Of
81 feet 4 inches. In addition to accom-
modations for $50 first class, 430 sec
ond class and $50 third class passen
gers. she was equipped with six cargo
holds with large refrigerating cham
bers. The Laurentic was a sister shiI
of the Megantic, another ship in th'
Canadian service which was requisi
toned by the British Admiralty.

FL Paso. Tex, Jan. 28.-The Carranza
stronghold of Juarez, removed from
bustling FL Paso by a few yards Of
muddy Rio Grande water and few
centuries Of world progress, offered a
foretaste to-day Of what may be ex-
pected from Mexico with Pershing's
fighting men In diplomatic rout.
Ever since LA Prensa" bulletined its
triumphant Mexico wins"-the time
was a couple Of weeks ago and the
story that of Washington's decision to
call back the stalled punitive expedi-
tion-Juarez had been celebrating.
Americans lured across the interna-
tional bridge by the whirr Of the rou-
lette wheel or by the races have been
thrown into jail by the dozen "on sus-
picion"-the suspicion being in all
probability that they had the where
withal to pay a fine.
This morning came the first cloud in
the fair sky of victory. Medical Of
fcers at the American end of the
bridge, seemingly as sure Of their
power as if Pershing were not in re-
treat, with good Mexicsns on his fanks
and rear, went ahead with the enforce
ment Of new sanitation order.
Battle OF the Bath
Juarez is foul with typhus, as is in
deed the whole of Mexico, and no one
has been permitted to enter FL Paso
without showing a vaccination certifi-
cate and satisfactory evidence Of re-
cent bath The bathing has been done
on the Mexican side, but conditions in
the bathhouse were such that American
officials put showers and a fumigation
of their own into operation on the
American side.
