Miss MACEDONIAN Complimented
MR.. THOMAS DIES IN EAST
Former Moscow Citizen Passes Away
And is Buried at Coal City,
Illinois

Samuel j. Thomas, formerly high
ly respected citizen of Moscow, one
! of the charter members of Fidelity
Temple No. "a, died at his home in
Coal City, Illinois, March 10. Through
friend there has come to the desk
of the Star-Mirror a copy of the Coal
City Courant containing an account
/ of the death of Mr.. Thomas together
with an interesting sketch fhis life.
He was born January Is, 1861, in that
community and all his life was spent
there except the years spent in Mos
COW. His wife and four Children.
Ebert, Wilbur l., Mckinley and Mar
garet-survive him. In its account of
the funeral the Coal City paper says:
Mr. Thomas was a member of MAJ
on Masonic Lodge No. 1926, Granite
Lodge No. BAL knights of Pythias,
Ivanhoe Camp No. 1859 M. w. of A.,
and White Star Chapter No. 452 o. E.
S.
The Thomas home was under quar-
antine, all of the children having the
measles, so the body was taken to the
home of John Jackson. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon at /
o'clock and was attended by large
concourse of people. The service was
in charge of the Macon Masonic lodge.
The Rev. M. B. Van Leer, pastor of
the Methodist church of Coal City, de-
livered the sermon and Miss Ethel Suf-
fern sang, "One Sweetly Solemn
and "Some Time Well I'm |
derstand."
The pail bearers were members OF |
the above order. The floral offerings |
were numerous and especially beauti-
full.

Fish in Deep Mines.

Through accidental Imprisonment,
mines acquire a surprising fauna from
the surface. Live fish-a species of
barbel-were lately noticed in Trans
vaal gold mine, $500 feet down a verti-
cal shaft and are supposed to have
fallen into the mines as spawn. When
discovered they had grown to length
of six to twelve inches. In very dry
weather young bullfrogs have been
seen to jump deliberately down the
shaft, evidently after water, and seem
to have survived the fearful plunge.

Kick From Elk River

Mr.. Nankervis, the father of tn
move here, was highly amused Whe
shown the following from the Ell
River Sentinel:
Moscow has one of the daylight
saving chumps, by name of J. N.
Nankervis, who wants an agree
ment, law or an ordinance to set
all clocks ahead one hour during
the summer In Elk River day
light saving" has been practiced
for years during the months in
which it is short. The method is
simple, practical and calls for no
law at all. When days are short
men go to work an hour or half
an hour earlier, or whatever may
be necessary, and no change is
made in the clock.
1T seems strange indeed that
those who wish to save daylight
do not get busy and save it, save
all they want of it, by beginning
work at a. M, or 5 or 4. The
trumpery folly of going through
the motions of changing time
pieces to conceal what everyone
knows is almost beyond belief"
THE beauty of the situation isl he
aid; that Moscow can do just as she
leases with her clocks, just as she
IN with sewing machines and othei
dor saving devices"

THE DUTCH GETTING IN BAD

Hollands position With relation to the war, extremely deli
cate at all times, is fast becoming untenable. German viola
tons of strict neutrality have reached a point where they no
longer can be ignored and pressure is already being put upon
the Dutch to stir them to some sort of resentment or protest
against the action of their aggressive %neighbors. 1t may be
difficult to make the Dutch appear as willing parties to the acts
complained of, but the course of acquiescence they have pur-
sued so far does not eXculpate them. To insist that the sand
and other material now being furnished is used by Germany
exclusively to mend roads in Belgium when Hindenburg is
busily occupied with the construction of concrete pill boxes"
and other forms of defensive work will scarcely convince the
allies of Hollands innocence.
The Overseas Trust comes forward with vigorous protests,
although it is an open secret that it's operations mainly have
served to facilitate the trade in c%ontraband. The present basis
of complaint is only an incident in a long list of causes and
Hollands chief offense lies in the complaisance with which the
government has viewed what is going on. Germanys use of
Dutch canals to transport war material is all the more fragrant
when cOntrasted with the respect shown for Dutch integrity by
England. Had the British treated Hollands neutrality as
lightly as Germany did Belgium's gunbOats might have gone up
the Scheldt in August, 1914, and reached Antwerp in time to
alter the course of the war.
The Dutch people have suffered more severely than any
of the European noncombaants and they have the deep sym
pathy of the Americans in their unfortunate fix, but this is no
excuse for allowing them to aid the Germans, even by indirec-
ton.

DRIVE FOR LIBERTY BONDS

President Wilson has named a day on which especial eff
fort is to be made in behalf of the Liberty bond issue, now be-
fore the people. This should not be accepted as a reason or
excuse for lessening effort in the meantime. 1t is just as essen
tal to enlist the dollars of the country in its defense as it is to
marshal and arm the men. The duty to subscribe to the bonds
to the extent of his or her means is as imperative upon each
of our citizens today as it will be on Wednesday of next week,
when the big effort is to be made.
1t is vital to the government that money be put at its dis
posal. Lay aside all thoughts of patriotism and consider the
question from a purely business standpoint and it is a most at
tracive proposition. The investor really loans his money to
himself as part of the government and allows himself a liberal
income on absolute security. The money will be spent at home
to buy home products and will come back Immediately into the
natural channels of trade. The loan means making the money
of the citizens do double duty.
We have literally put the man before the dollar in this war
in that we have sent our young men already to the field. Now
we must follow them up with the dollars. The armiesO of ma
tional defense are under way; thousands of our boys are in
France already and many other thousands are in camp prepar-
ing for the trenches. We must answer an emphatic no to the
question asked by Secretary McAdoo: care you willing to be
more tender with your dollars than you are with your sons?"
The issue should not be permitted to lag, but should be
taken with alacrity by all. The poor man as well as the rich is
involved and the bonds are within the reach of any. Buy Lib
erty bonds, for they mean just that to the world.

LEAGUE FOR NATIONAL UNITY

None of all the organizations for national activity formed
since our entry into war is more impressive externally than the
League for National Unity, recently announced from Washing
ton. It's purpose should meet ready response from all citizens,
while in its composition it is a veritable melting pot. Nothing
could better illustrate the solidity of the foundations of the
republic and the solidarity of its citizens than this fusion of
the various and varying elements of its social life. Creeds and
professions fall away in presence of danger to the nation, and
men a full hal fcircle apart in opinions and interests line up
side by side to defend human rights and liberty. The move
ment emphasizes the claim that our cause is the cause of man.
kind, and that with our victory all the world will win.
The new organization will be the more powerful because
it comes behind the latest declaration of purposes from the
president, that the only way to end the war is by complete
victory of the nations representing democratic ideals over the
German doctrine of force" This simply means that kaiser
ism must be crushed. Acceptance of peace on terms put for
ward by Germany or Austria will not settle the issue. Such
peace would not leave the world safe for democracy. Only
when the strength of militarsm is broken, and the right of
self government is fully established, will the victory we seek
be ours.
1t has been found necessary to organize in America to COM
lat the influence Of sinister forces working against the good
of the nation, and none of the combinations will do more to
overcome the harm that might ensue from the nefarious actv-
tiles of our enemies than the League for National Unity.
