Meade County news., 1917-12-20
Help Uncle Sam

Is authorized Oy act OF congress
to borrow $4,000, 900 900 from
the people Of the United States
to help Uncle Sam win this war
for democracy and for tie Sc
curity of our Republic and all
that it means to us.
The plan Of issuing War-Sav.
ings Certificates, which has been
launched this week, conte emplates
the sale of $37,OOO,OO0 of War
Savings Certificates in Kansas;
and for the carrying out of that
plan an organization has been ef-
fected by the appointment by
Secretary McAdoo of P. w. Goe-
befof Kansas City, Kas., as di-
rector general with one director
for each county in the State. The
Director for Meade County is
Mr., F. w. Curl.
Realizing that victory can
come to our soldiers only with
the cooperation of the American
people through the intelligent
use of our resources, this organ
ization appeals to every man,
woman and child in our State to
lend patriotic and unstinted sup
port to this movement.
The War-SavIngs Certificate
plan, first of all, must not be con-
strued as the giving of single
dollar to the Government. 1t
contemplates the saving of mon
sey by the people that they may
lend 1t to the Government for five
years at q per cent interest, COM
pounded quarterly. Further
more, it is the most democratic
plan that has yet been suggested
for under the provisions of the
act of Congress no one person
may purchase more than 500
(lnaturity value) of War Savings
Certificates at one time, and no
one person is permitted TO own
at any time more than $1,000 of
such Certificates. Wherefore It
plainly can be seen that all may
share in the privilege of lending
their savings to the Government.
and the security they hold is
= as good savings investment as
can be made.
TIE value OF the War Savings
Certificates consists not alone in
the amount of money which the
people of the United States may
lend to their Government upon
Certificates which are sold, but
also in the lesson which will be
taught, in the habits Of thrift
that will be lnculcated as result
of it. What this will mean in
conserving the resources of
America, and what it will mean
in the future economy Of our
Nation, IS beyond estimation.
The time has come when our
people must stand as a unit BE-
hind their Government and their
Army and Navy, bending every
energy toward the larger pro.
duction of those things which
sustain life, denying themselves
those things that are unnecessary
that they may save money and
lend it to the Government.
A United States War Sayings
Certificate will be an obligation
of the Government when one or
more War.Savings Certificate
Stamps shall be affixed thereto.
Each Certificate has spaces for
rwenty of such stamps and each
stamp will have maturity value
of SIS on January /, 1928, which
will give such certificate bearing
20 stamps maturity value OF
500. The price at which these
stamps are to be sold during
Decem ber and January is $4.12,
and for each month thereafter up
to and including Decem Der, 1918,
one cent will be added to the

met Workers union.
Over $50 girls now on strike from
Nate Riback & Co. plant also attend
ed the meeting. They went out Tues
day because ten of their number were
fired when the boss found out the
union was working among them.
Last Saturday, according to union
heads, five girls were brought into
the offices of the Riback firm and dis.
charged because they were suspected
as members of the union.
Tuesday a committee of five other
girls went to the offices and pro-
tested against this: They were
promptly fired also. Then the whole
shop, with about IT'S workers, walked
out.
Over 100 pickets patroled the dis
trict yesterday. Only once did they
brush with the police. After threat
ening to arrest two girls, the officers
decided not to. AS a whole, the po-
lice conduct was very fair, union Of
ficials say.
Riback is only the first plant to be
hit by strike if other manufactur-
ers hand out the same kind of
treatment to the girls. More shops
are being organized daily.

GERMANY, PREPARES BIG DRIVE
TO FORCE PEACE
London, Jan. 5.-Germany is about
to attempt another great offensive on
the west front, in the view of. the
allies.
The same desperate need of peace
which the allies believe inspired the
German proposal is thought, now
that those peave pleas have been re-
jected, to be behind gigantic thrust
on the west, designed as Germany's
supreme effort.
With German public opinion now
believed to be dangerously near
breaking under the suffering of food
privations, the German government
is thought to realize that it must be
fed on some great military attempt
at a victory against Germany's major
foes. The Rumanian victory, al
though hailed as another evidence of
German invincibility, has failed to
evoke the German public enthusiasm
expected, because of the realization
of Rumania's military weakness.

(By Walter Long)
British Secretary of State for the
Colonies.

written for the United Press)
London, Sept. 1.-(By MaiD-You
ask me to give you my opinion upon
the question of the German colonies
which we have captured during the war.
do not think that the question can
be put in quite so simple a form. It
really is dependent upon two totally
different conditions. The first and
most important is the form and char
aeter of our victory, If it is as COM
plete as we all hope and believe it
will be, then of course we can dictate
our terms, and there can be no doubt
l think, in the mind of anybody what
will be. If on the other hand, the vie
tory were to result in an ineonclusive
peace, it is quite obvious that any dee
larations made now would have very
little effect. The German possessions
have been captured by British troops
many of them from our dominions and
colonies. The policy of the Empire is
not, and never has been, to seek ter.
ritory for territory's sake.
Take for instance Australia and the
Union of South Africa. Each has land
enough to keep it engaged for a long
time to come, but in the case of each
her German neighbor constituted s
grave menace to her security and peace
and it was to remove this menace tina
they determined to capture the colon
les, not for the purpose of inereasin,
their imperial possessions, but the sam
remark applies equally to German Eas
Africa-not yet fully conquered, bu
probably soon about to be. 1 am quit
sure of this-that our dominions, look
ing, as have said, to the question Q
their own future security, viii vehen

events if German rule in the future is
TO be ANYTHING comparable with what
German rule has been in the past. Fur
ther we cannot with wisdom ignore the
fact that in the future and submarine
and aeroplane, and all the modern ard
terrible inventions of war, will have
materially altered the situation, and
we are compelled to ask ourselves what
would be the opportunities OF a seitlsh
and aggressive power, animated soieiy
by military lust, if we were to allow
them 90 retaia in every part OF Africa
outposts which they would assuredly
make submarine and aircraft bases, and
convert into strongholds from which to
attack their peaceful neighbors. You
also ask me what is my view OF the
proposition that the Portuguese shold
sell Portuguese East Africa to Germany
in order to recompense her for the loss
of her African possessions. Wei, there
has, you know, been some discussion
about this. Personally / am not inclined
to favor the idea which seems to me
to SAVIOUR far too much cf disregardlng
the views Of the natives, and trelting
them as though they were mere char
tells. The British territories in Africa
would also have a very troublesome
neighbor. What they want is peace, IN
order that they may derive their own
resources. 7 have no doubt thai they
would entertain no objection to see Ger
man colonies growing up beside them
if this meant the real development of
the whole country, the bettering of the
condition of the natives, and African
progress generally, but they know from
bitter experience that it means exactly
the opposite.
In their view, which I believe TO be
well founded, Germany has never learn
ed how to colonize. Her idea of foreign
possessions is that it is something to
be exploited solely for her own immed-
late profit. The rights and advance
ment of the natives seem to mean moth
ing to her. You ask me also what or
the suggestion made in some quarters
of trading back to Germany her con-
Guered colonies in consideration of her
REIMBURSEMENT of AlsaSeLorraine to
France. My reply is that this has heen
suggested as possibility only resulting
from an S4nconclusive peace. / am net
! prepared to contemplate or discuss any
peace of this character. We, as an fim-

are still making them. The unlteo
States has come into the war and IS
throwing all her great strength into
the common pool. We both realize quite
clearly that the cause of the allies is
not individual advantage IN TERRITORY,
but the future freedom and liberty OF
the world, and 1 think it must be clear
TO all of us that if the German policy
in the future is to be what it has been
in the past, and judging from the ut
teranees of her leading representatives,
, there is no prospect of a change, then
the security of our own countries en1
5 the peace of the world will be grsve'y

dress, Mr.. Finn rushed from his bed
outside. He switched on the piazza light

A neighbor, Sven H. Lindquist, was
awakened by the shot and ran out to
investigate. He saw two men near the
shed and, thinking one might be Mr..
Finn, ran toward them, but the pair
turned and ran. A few steps more and
Mr.. Lindquist stumbled over the body
of Mr.. Finn, who was lying in pool
of blood near the shed.
Lindquist took the dying man into his
house and telephoned for a doctor. Finn
was unable to talk and died in about
five minutes. DIR. Paul A. Bruce of At
lantic arrived a fey minutes later and
pronounced life extinct from a wound in
the breast.
Mr.. Finn was pipeftter in the

his conviction that Austria Hungary and
Germany would be victorious and that
the war would secure for the heroic peo-
pies happy and bright future.
Count Czernin, in reply, said he saw
the most secure guarantee of happy
future for the peoples in intimate and
confident cooperation with the leaders
of the German policy and firm insist
ence upon the well tried alliance. Aus
tria was ready for glorious peace, but,
otherwise, was determined to fight to
the last. Germany and Austria would
in cooperation force conditions inspiring
an undisturbed and peaceful future.
