SOME WAR THOUGHTS

SOME WAR THOUGHTS
HE people of the country do not yet realize the grav
ty of the situation. We hear it said on every hand
u that the will not last long, that Germany is
practically beaten, that it will all be before boys
get there.
1t is waste of breath to speculate as to when the
will end So far every prediction has failed Why con-
tinuef
Let us face the situation as it stands now Russia is
crumbing the east Italy is maintaining herself; Eng
land pounding hard her end of the ne and France
glorious France is performing deeds of vaor that be-
yond praise
But after ALL the people of America must be brought
to realize that this is OUR and shoulder the
responsibility of winning it.

you doing your share by subscribing for liberty bonds7
Today all classes of people enjoying unusual
prosperity Conditions at the opening of the present

Today better afford to pay the price of liberty
than at any other period of our history.

We must not that the government is some
far off thing with unlimited duty to protect rights
and unlimited means to perform this duty The national
treasury is not like the town pump upon which all may
draw and to which none need contribute
Our government rs the peoples it is to uphold this idea
that we have entered upon the Our congress has
very sensby voted expend large sums at once so that
the may be brought to successful and early termna

saving many human lives

To raise this money the government has issued liberty
bonds for which must subscribe These bonds bear a
per cent rate of interest They mature in Is years
Back of them stands the entire wealth of our United
States.
At the present rate Of interest the liberty bonds afford
opportunity for safe investment with reasonable profit
But they did not in the words of Jay Cook what
we need now is patriotism and not money making" In

BOY, SIXTEEN,
 IS GUILTY OF
 MANSL AUCHTER

New York, Dec. 22-Grinning de. fiant1y around the court, 16-year-old Timothy Moynihan last evening re- ceived the jury's verdict of Guilty of manslaughter in the first degree" for shooting Henry Ayres, the boy l with whom he had quarrel1ed over 2 baseball game. For the first time during his trial the boys attitude showed sullnenness yesterday.
 He listened with a downcast face l to Supreme Court Justice Golf 8 charge to the jury that the prisoners s youth was not to be weighed in his favor under the law, and that his tes- timony of i'll teatment at the hands ' of the detectives stood unsupported against the testimony of five men of established reputation. The boy wal heard to be swearing at one of the ] jurors under his breath as he left the court room in the aftrnoon.
 Tn verdict was not reached until 8:15 o'clock, after deiberation of more than sSven hours. It is under stood four ballots were taken. On the first the jury is said to have stood eight for murder in the first degree, i two for murder in the second degree and two for manslaughter. On the second ballot. it was reported, si1 were for murder in the first degree and six for murder in the second de- gree.~ The third ballot is said to have been 10 for manslaughter in the first degree.
 The jury twice returned to the court room to have parts of the evidence read, and once, at 7:45, for rein struction regarding the various de grees of murder and manslaughter.
 Opening the days proceedings, As sistant District Attorney Alfred J Talley summed up for the prosecu- tion
 Mine is an unpleasant task" he told the jury, and yours is an un' pleasant task. But the defendant though a boy in years, is old in thu wisdom which boys pick up on th' streets of New York city. We have duty toward society as well as to- ward him."

 Jacob wrestled with the angel al night without prevailing said MT Talley, "but Jacobs task was child'i play compared to Dr.. Roller's-o convincing a jury that is not soft headed as well as softhearted."
 After the verdict was announced the boy was remanded until Dec 2, for sentence.
