I'm the Name of Liberty
The World Over-The End
! Of Oppression Everywhere

I'VE are fighting for the liberty, the
self-government and the indicated de-
velopment of all peoples.
whatever readjustments necessary
must be made.

cept for the purpose of securing those
who inhabit it fair chance Of life and

'No indemnities must be insisted upon
except those that constitute payment for
manifest wrongs done
mo readjustments of power must be
made except as will tend to secure the
future peace of the world and the future
welfare and happiness of its peoples"
These promises to Russia. made by
President Wilson in behalf Of our coun-
try, are for home consumption, also; they
are intended at home TO take the wind
out of the sails of German progagandists
who are buster right now than ever. dis

A few days ago there was meeting
of pacifsts in New York which declared
for a statement of its war position from
the government
This meeting thought it the due Of
those who are to do their bit for Uucfp,
Sam, that Uncle Sam at least tell them
what they had to do, and why they would
be expected to do it.
We thought the position taken by the
meeting very proper position for it 70
take; by all means we considered those
who asked it entirely within their Ameri-
can rights and within the bounds Of pro-
priety.
President Wilson has answered.
His answer is merely repetition Of his
war message to congress. but the presi-
dent takes occasion to make himself clear
to those who, apparently, failed to get
his meaning the first time.
What the Colonists considered good
for this country. the president of the
United States considers good for all coun-
tries.

there were $5,OO0,000 lying around loose,

Then Citizen James Couzens wanted to

And that's the way Detroit did the eX-

FROM AN OLD SOLDIER.
Editor The Union Times:

Editor The Union Times:
ALLOW me space in your paper to
say few words of thanks to the
Daughters of the Confederacy for the
good work they're doing. Would liked
very much to have been able to at
tend the dinner given the Veterans in
Union May 5th.
Well do l remember what the good
women did for me during the war
was wounded near Charleston, so was
put on boat and sent to the Lou
lslana hospital in Charleston. Stayed
there till next morning, when doc
tor came around. He blistered me Sc
verely, then sent woman to dress
my wounds, who treated me kindly in
every respect. 1t was reported that
Sherman was coming to Charleston. so
L was put on train and sent to Sum-
mervllle, and from there to Columbia
Arrived in Columbia the second day
of February, '65. In few days Ser
man got there, and that town was
laid in ashes. Was lying there in the
hospital helpless. The day after the
burning the inmates of the hospital
were moved to the college chapel. DR..
Thompson was the physician left in
charge, so took care of those who
couldn't be moved. In the morning |
was propped up in bed eating rice
with fork out of tin plate, when a
lady and, l suppose, her daughter
came by me. They asked me if that
was all l had to eat nodded nv
head, as | couldn't speak. They said a
few words to DR.. Thompson, left out
and In short while came back bring
ing negro woman carrying all kinds
OF good things to eat, which they gave
to us for sick and hungry soldiers.
Where they got these things has al
ways been mystery to me, as almost
everything in Columbia was DESTROYED
and this was the next day. Thew
came every day for three weeks ,yth
supplies, always brought me a clean
handkerchief every morning. I re-
NAMED at the hospital till the 10Th of
March. DR.. Thompson put me on
boat in charge of Capt. Hughes and
sent me to Shelton. 1t rained. the
river rose, so took three days to get
to Shelton. Took me off boat there
and put me on train in care of Barth
Jeter. Went to Batesville, arriving
there at IL o'clock at night. B. f.

or more than 192,3O0 years of the
time of these men and women, who
will give their vcations to their coun-

Crocker expects that his plan will be
adopted all over the country.

unable to participate in the Liberty
Loan as heavily as they wish, this
means of national service was evolved
"This war is the most serious crisis
the United States has ever faced-the
work of every man, woman and child
is needed to bring it to successful
conclusion. Every hour given to the
government is an hour gained in bring
ing the war to an early end. Under
standing this, the Vacation Service
movement was started. Everyone in
the United States that takes a vaca-
ton, and it is estimated that there are
100000 such, can do his or her bit
by giving their two weeks to govern
ment work.

K. l.. Harris, sailor connected
with the naval recruiting station
here, has written the following:
q !
How we love the city of Columbia
Happy home of sailors true;
And the people are patriotic
And we highly respect them, too.
Oh, this wonderful, peaceful city,
May it stand for evermore.
And in order to make this possible
We must keep the kaiser sore.
Are you ready? said the British.
All! Ready, ready sure;
Yea, ready to get the kaiser
Either by sea or shore.
Now, my good people of Columbia,
We have duty for the brave and
bold
Help US lick the kaiser,
And free our land for evermore.
Now, my people of South Carolina,
Visit us before you go;
We have large torpedo
Shells and daggers from Mexico.
II you have a son that's willing
To serve the red, white and blue,
Let him enlist in the navy

TAKE THE LOAN.
By Edward Everett Hale.

Come, freedom of the land,
Come, meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophets saw,
For the sword your brothers draw,
For liberty and law,
Take the loan!
Ye ladies of the land,
AS ye love the gallant band,
Who have drawn a soldiers brand,
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she could,
Who would give the soldier food
Who would staunch her brothers
blood,
Take the loan.
All who saw her hosts pass by,
All who joined the parting cry,
When we bade them do or die,
Take the loan!
AS ye wished their triumph then,
AS ye hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze as men,
Take the loan!
Who could press the great appeal
OF our ranks of serried steel,
Put your shoulders to the wheel.
Take the loan!
That our prayers in truthmayrise,
Which we press with streaming ewes
On the Lord of earth and skies.
Take the loan!

AMERICA FOR ME.

'Tis fine to see the Old World, and
travel up and down
Among the famous places and cities
of renown.
10 admire the crumbly castles and
the statues of the kings,
But now l think I've had enough of
antiquated things.
So it's home again, and home again,
America for me!
My heart is turning home again and
so there l long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom be-
yond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and
the flag is full of stars.
On, London is mans town, there's
power in the air,
And Paris is woman's town, with
flowers in her hair.
And It's sweet to dream in Venice,
and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living there is
no place like home.
Ot, its home again, and home again,
America for me!
l want ship that's westward bound
to plough the rolling sea.
10 the Blessed Land of Room Enough
beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and
the flag is full of stars.

OLD-FASHIONED HORSE.

The old-fashioned horse was no won
der for speed.
He hadn't the rate of a minute per
mile,
But, if you'll remember, the bills for
his feed,
Were only tenth of the gasoline
style.
He wasn't as fleet as a motor ma
chine,
His record for distance was shorter,
of course;
But cleaning car gives no pleasure
as keen
AS smoothing the coat of the old
fashioned horse.
The old-fashioned horse, he was skit-
tish at times,
But skittish and skiddish are words
far part.
This new turning turtle was none of
his crimes,
He stayed right side up, just the
same as his cart.
His driver was never the lord of the
road,
But simply obeyed all the statutes
in force,
So, seeing the scorcher's contempu-
Gus mode,
What wonder l sigh for the old
fashioned horse?
