good many thousands of people must buy the bonds in the small demo- mination of $50 and $100.
 The small amounts should come out of current savings if the loan is to attain the great success. Past savings, evidenced by credit accounts in saw ings banks, should be used only to limited extent or, preferably, not at all. The funds of savings banks, in banking parlance, are not liquid. They are in the form of bonds of various kinds and so compose large part of the fixed capital of the country. Ex- tensive demands in the savings banks would force the liquidation of these securities and so dislocate the bond market and, of course, the money market. The loan is, therefore, to be subscribed for out of current and fu- ture sav.ngs.
 It is more than likely that business will be very good if the loan is popul- arly subscribed. The factories and mills will be busy on all sorts of or ders from the government. There is shortage of all kinds of supplies. Labor will be freely employed and the demand for it is likely to be only partly satisfied. The people who should subscribe to the loan will, therefor, have the funds with which to meet the payments. But it is a great deal of money that is wanted. It is $20 of every man, woman and child in the United States. That means $100 for each family. And that means that hundreds of families who will respond to the demand will have to add some economy to that now practised. They will not have to put a new economy into operation for the loss that would attend the making of a gift. They will have to put new economy into operation for the gain that will attend the saving of the amount subscribed to the bond issue. They will have the security. They will receive the interest on it regular ly. And the country will be better off because of the thrift of its people.
 It is the increase in the savings of the peoplpe that is going to supply the money with which to fight to successful conclusion the greatest of all wars.

WHY YOU SHOULD
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS
And By Your Thrift Insure Your Own Prosperity and Save the U. s.
 From Disaster

There are two reasons why there should be Liberty Bond in every home. Either of them offers a suffi- cient impulse for investment. The reasons are, first, Patriotism, and, second, Thrift.
 Patriotism is the expression of ey- cry individuals obligation to the coun- try which protects him and gives him the opportunity to develop his abilities and gain the reward of his efforts. Patriotism often finds ebullient and even hysterical expression, but re- duced to real terms it is matter of the obligation of each man and woman to contribute his or her share for the common good in return for the ad- vantages gained from living in well ordered society.
 This obligation naturally extends to contributing for the common defence. The contribution may be an outright gift under a general assessment worked out on some presumably equit- able basis. Such gifts take the form of taxes and voluntary contributions to numerous charities and war organ izations. The other obligation is to lend money to the government as an ordinary business matter.
 Lending money under such circum- stances, considered in it's relation to individuals, is a practical application of the thrift idea. It is as much a saving as money deposited in sav- ings bank. It draws interest at three and one-half percent; it is a safe in- vestment if the government is stable. If the government is not stable then no investment is safe and property rights as we'll as property values will vanish, as personal safety and the right to the pursuit of happiness must disappear also. There is no better in- vestment than government bonds. h. vestment in them is the duty of those who cannot enter the army or the navy and is the discharge of similar obligation, although it is not regarded as heroic. To secure two billions the govern ment must receive an average sub scrition of $1 ,000 from each of two million persons. But the average will be much below that. If there are less than five million subscribers to the first bond issue, it will be failure as test of patriotism.
 But if five million persons subscribe the average of the subscriptions will be s400. It is obvious, therefore, that

times will write on their hearts, the new ideals you helped to create, and bind them on their temples, as the Greeks once wrote theirs, above the entrance to the Acropolis. **
 If I'm not trespassing too much, MT. President, I'll add just another word in closeing.
 As the human race has moved along down the centuries, the vigorous and ambitious, the dissenters from blind obedience, the original thinkers, the colonists and builders; have broken camp with the morning and followed the course of the sun until the close of the day. They have fingered for ages in fertile valleys and beside great streams. They have been re- tarded by barriers of mountains and seas, beyond their present resources to overcome.
 But as the family grew into the toiler, the tribe into the nation, and equal authority into the despotism of courts and creeds, those who possessed the indomitable and unconquerable spirit of freedom, have seen the promise flashed from the, clouds, in glorious rays of the setting sun. At first with despair and courage, and then with courage and hope; and fin ally with faith and high resolve they have moved ever westward. In the purifcation and trials of wandering and settlement, they have left behind narrow and degrading laws, traditions. customs and casts; until now, as the Occident faces the Orient, across the Pacific, and the globe is circled, at the last step and in their permanent home, the indi. vidlual has become the basis of gov ernment, and all men are equal before the law.
 It is this spirit, developed by our great American Republic, now ably led by President Wilson, that is re- sponsible for more than a score of the republics scattered over the earth, with ancient, impotent China and polyglotic Russia, bringing up the rear. 1t is this spirit that is putting behind every bayonet now carried at the order of the German kaiser and the Austrian emperor, men, who are beginning to do their own thinking and who will one day decide for them selves the problems of peace and war.
 We are heirs in the glorious helit- age of our Republic. And so with our hearts filled with patriotic farvor and love of Liberty, let us each do our bit, in order to leave the coming genera tions a greater freedom, more en- lightenend laws, broader truths; that our American banner may be planted first and highest on heights yet un- known in the great march of human ity.
 Let us help drive Prussian militar- ism out of the world. Let us fight for the Rights of Man, and a world Democracy:
 "Till the war drums throb no longer, And the battle Flags are furled; In the Parliament of Man,
 The Federation of the World"

PRESIDENT WATTS DECISION ON
POWER TO ARM SHIPS
Washington, March 6.-President
Wilson probably will announce his
decision today on arming American
merchantmen.
There were strong intimatiOns that
the decision of his legal advisers will
give him the power of furnishing
guns to the ship owners.
The president is represented as
waiting only for such a formal ruI-
ing on his authority to act promptly
and arm the ships and thereby estab-
fish a state Of armed neutrality for
the United States.

ZlMMERMANN MAKES SECOND
DEFENSE OF MEXICAN NOTE Z

Sec'y ZimmeTmann's second defense
of his action in seeking to align ia
pan and Mexico with Germany
against America was that criticism
from certain Germans of such a
course iIl-ftted previous complaints
that Germany wasn't doing enough
to acquire new allies.
, Such an explanation, according to
Berlin dispatches received here to-
day, was Zimmermann's answer to
Socialist queries in the main commit
tee of the reichstag at its meeting
late yesterday. The secretary laid
particular stress on the fact that his
instructions to Minister Eckhardt at
Mexico City were based only on the
U. S. entering the war.
Newspaper comment from all over
Germany appears to support the for
eign secretary whOle-heartedly, al
though there was a disposition to
criticize the bungling by which a per-
fectly legitimate move by Germany
became known.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
CROSSING THE BRIDGE
BY Farmer Smith


Picture to yourself high railroad bridge
at either end OF which are tents and soi-
dlers Now and then a train rushes across
and Just as one goes over our good friend
Billy Bumpus is seen coming along behind
IT,
Il must cross in a hurry. so that will not
meet "A train coming this way" thought
Billy
just at that moment a soldier came out
of une OF the tents and eyed Billy. Then
he pointed his gun at him
Billy looked up and smiled his sweetest
smile
Get out of here :" shouted the soldier.
Billy looked at him with sad eyes. Surely
HE had never heard of Billy Bumpus, pet
Of the army and winner OF medals.
A train whizzed by and the soldier turned
10 look at II, That was the signal for Billy
He rose on his hind legs and gave the sol-
der a butt right in his stomach. which sent
him rolling down the hill toward the river
bank.
His rife exploded, but did not hit Billy;
that was all that interested HIM
Billy did not stop to look a second time
He sped across the bridges, passing many
bolts in the tracks How he loved bolts
But he must hurry on.
Suddenly he thought Of the guard on the
other end. lie would be across the bridge
when he reached the other fellow, and surely
he had done no wrong.
lie trotted along until he could see tho
tents and the guard at the other end OF the
bridge. Then he did funny thing. A
water barrel was beside the track Billy
pushed It over gently and down, down. down
1t fell with n crash.
AND the guards rushed below to see what
had happened, while Billy put his tail
little straighter and marched on.
