Torpedoing of One of Our Transports

THE first United States transport to meet with disaster was
 the Antilles, which torpedoed and sunk Wednesday, while returning under convoy from Europe About 70 men missing.
 As appalling and blood curding this act was It would have been many fold narrowing If transport loaded with soldiers bound for France had been sunk The people of this country would have been all alame And they cannot read the navy departments concise narrative issued last night without being aroused the highest pitch of right eous wrath
 This deed of frghuness the part of Germany should have the effect of drawing Americans all the closer together and make them unit in upholding the government Tn its prosecution of the It but to quicken the spirit of patriotism.
 The heart of the nation will out to the families beret by
 this dreadful calamity And the prayer of all good men and women of this country will be that other transport will share the fate of the Antilles.
 Secretary Daniels is to be commended for making public nromptv such details of the tragedy in his pos session Nothing of this nature should be withheld and 1t IS certain that nothing will be.

familiar to Puritan worshippers in New England in the eighteenth cen tury. Not few of the white settlers that took up their abodes in Iowa after the Indians had become civilized came from New England. Those who found their way to Old Bradford Set clement had practiced singing in their native section.
 Some of those New Englanders were doubtless among the pioneers in the community music which gave the now historic "Brown Church in the Vale" it's reputation. After singing psalms, chorals and plain hymns for a number of years the community, branched out and frequently rendered cantatas with artistic finish.
 Their fame spread and within the past ten years visitors have come long distances to hear the music. It IS now an institution, with distinct local color, in some degree reminding one of the great Bach festival held every year in the Lutheran church at Bethle- hem, Pa.
 The strange part of it is that the community sing idea was so slow in taking root in the large cities of the United States. But community singing is not only here at last; it has come to stay.

Community Singing
 Fifty Years Ago

 Musical America prints picture of the quaint brick structure where for long years educational and reli- rious influences have centered. Com Immunity singing there had its origin A singing class. The younger folks ofYhe neiehborhood were taugh tho elements of music, especial attention beind given to sight reading.
 It fas not long before community singink, very much as we have it to day, Jas heard in the grove nearby weather permitting, and inside tbt churyh on rainy Sundays and through out khe late fall and winter

To Help Liberty Bond Sale.

"One of the main features being stressed in the present liberty bond campaign is getting everyone to help, said r. c. Tobin ''The object, of course, is to have every citizen feel per- sonal interest in the war and know that he has aided in accordance with his ability.
 There are good many people, however, who feel that they cannot purchase even q $50 bond and yet who are eager to do something.
 Tt has occurred to me that it would be an excellent idea to place contri- button boxes in the banks where those who wished could drop in any sum they desired. With this money, as it accumulated, bond could be pur. chased by the bank and give to some well known charitable institution. In this way not only the bond fund would be helped but some Of our de serving Institutions would be giyen needed help. I believe it would be found that a great many would con- tribute small sums to such a double cause and it would show that their hearts were in the work just as much as the more fortunate individuals wao are able to subscribe for the bonds themselves"

Champion of Yesteryear
 Lies Ill in Chicago

B OBERT FITZsIMMONS, known llNA in the heydey of his fame as "Ianky Bob," and by dozen other titles of the sort conferred by admlr- ers on an idol of the prize ring, IS fighting the hardest battle of his ca reer in the Michael Reese hospital, Chicago. "Fitz" is suffering rom nneumonia and is showing the same pluck and stamina, in spite ot ms desperate condition, which made nm the heavyweight champion of the world and one of the greatest boxers who ever lived
 It has been a long time, according to modern standards, since Fltzsim- mons drank the bitter cup of defeat, as administered by "Gentleman Jim Corbett. But no one who ever saw him fight and no one who ever faced hlm in the ring failed to pay tribute to his prowess and his skill.
 The former champion has had his ups and downs since he lost his crown and there were doubtless times when he thought longingly of the fat purses that came his way in the old days. He trod the path of ''has-been," and in the sporting world, as in all other walks of life, it is an ainless sort of journey that leads nowhere in particu- lar.
 Although the spotlight no longer beats with fierce intensity on the mas sive shoulders. and lengthy legs of "Old Fitz,' he has retained his popu- larity with the public to a remarkable degree. Like most of the deposed mon archs of the ling, he turned to the stage and without contributing great ly to it's uplift, has been an interest ing and likable figure.
 Fitzsimmons belongs to the old school of pugilists hard-hitting men who made ring-siie seat worth all it cost. In the present battle for his life thousands of Americans who think kindly of him and remember what he was, wish for him decisive victory

Germany Fights Where
 Victory Is Certain

r7NaE German drive against the l Russians in the north, with the ostensible object of capturing Petro- grad, is variously explained. Most ob- servers seem to think, however, that the principal object the Kaiser and his military advisers have in view is to make showing-to do something that will hearten the German people who are growing restive under the privations brought upon them by war and the pressure exerted. by the allies on the western front.
 A "great victory" is easily achieved over the Russians, whose present siS- nation is almost hopeless. With the in vader at their gates, they seem to think that all that is necessary to get quick results is to hold mass meet ing and pass resolutions, which are not carried out. The German military authorities make the most of their gains and we may rest assured that the German populace is led to believe that successes against the Russians are hastening "peace with victory" While Russia is practically eliml- mated as factor in the allies strug- gle against autocracy, she is still mak- [ inc a show of resistance, and Germany cannot spare enough men from the western battle line to conduct an ex- tensiye land campaign. Von Hinden- burg, despite the sneers directed at | Americas army by Teuton editors, is Ibelieved to be making anxious prepar' ations for the entrance of American troops into the war next spring His
 forces on the western front are al
 ready depleted and with German man
 power on the wane, it would be folly
 to transfer any largo body of troops
 from Flanders and France to conquer
 the Russians.
 l As a demonstration" the German
 campaign in Russia will doubtless have some effect on public sentiment lin the fatherland and may eventually result in relieving the food situation ,but mutinies among German sailors
 and discontent among German sol
 diers show that the patience of th'
 German people, who have been riddei

GETTING MONEY FOR WAR

government and facilitate it's stupendous financial propositions.
 Another reason why Governor Strong speaks with qualification of the new membership in the federal reserve sys- tenn of six great trust institutions is due to his belief that the example thus set will speedily be followed by many other state-chartered trust institutions and banks so that in due time all of the banking resources of the United States, national and state, may be mobilized and concentrated to the end that the govern ment will be perfectly protected and as- financing will be adequately responded to by the American banks.
 One way in which the resources or the federal reserve system. and of the banks that are members of it. can be made of great service in the closing days of the subscription to the liberty loan is through the utilization of the credit of these banks whereby individual sub scribers can borrow the funds needed to pay their installments upon their subscriptions. For it is deemed of the highest importance that individual sub scriptions should be paid not out of prin- cipal. not by withdrawing savings bank deposits, but out of earnings. The terms are so liberal that it should be easy for to mako 1t possible to pay the light in- stallments as they become, due, out of earnings or income.
 NORTHERN CASH; SOUTHERN MEN From the New York World.
 The Southern Commercial congress IS welcome here, and we hope that it's visit is the forerunner of many others. Every subject of it's discussion is of vital interest to New York, where the con cerns of all state and all sections can not fail to receive attention. Tn particular, New York must regard with an open mind the representations made by various gentlemen of the need of capital to develop the resources Of the south. As to the opportunity and the probable success of such enterprises nor mally undertaken, there Is no division of opinion, but there arc conditions precedent to which our guests should give serious consideration.
 Even in free country, capital Is not lin all cases a free agent It's power Is limited by many economic conditions. but 1 1t is especially subject to political and parochial hospitality The needs of the south and the splendid rewards there
 offered may be fully recognized. and yet capital itself may be wanting for req
