ment Of Congress to speak for the loan.
As they voted the loan, they are quail
fed to make the appeal the Secretary
asks; and their positions warrant large
audiences wherever they arc billed to
appear.
In addition to this, bankers and men
engaged in other lines of business
throughout the country are alive to the
emergency, and active in behalf of it.
By public addresses and private com
mnnications they are urging the loan
upon all with whom they have influence.
There is no community in the country
where an effort of this kind is not being
made Everywhere the people, with
large as we'll as small means, are under
solicitation to assist in making success
full the work the government has in
hand.
There will be success. but bare sue
cess would be a sort of failure. Sub
seriptions should be large. They should

War today comes high. The phrase,
'the science of war; means much in
the way of preparation. All the nipple
ments of hostilities are constructed on
scientific bases. and therefore are ex-
pensive Fighting machines. whether
ahoat or ashore, call for big money fig
ures. And when established they must
be we'll supported while the need of
them continues. For, to build them and
then fail to keep them fit would be worse
than folly 1t would be criminal waste
Our allies also are finding this true.
They are spending as never before; and
we are helping them bear their burdens.
On every account. therefore, our burden
is heavy, and can be supported only by
a generous response to appeals from Off
cial and all other we'll informed sources.

Polling the Soldiers.

A press dispatch from Albany says:
by Wednesday it is expected that
approximately $4,000 ballots will have
been shipped abroad so that New York
state residents who are in foreign mill
tary and naval service may participate
in ,hhis falls election. This was an
nounced today at the election bureau of
the Office of Secretary of State Hugo.
OF this number. about $4,000 will be for
the use of former residents Of Greater
New York in the mayoralty campaign.
and the remainder for men from the
rest of the state who are now in federal
service.
Let us hope these ballots may arrive
in time, be used in the prescribed way,
and the results be promptly and prop
erly certified to the authorities here at
home. The wrinkle is new and impor-
tant-not in the matter of polling sol
diers, but in polling them at a great dis
lance on foreign soil. and in the risk
and delay incident to such procedure.
Suppose the civilian vote in New York
city is close. 1t may be. notwithstand-
ing the present tall claims of Tammany
for Hylan. the fusionists for Mitchell,
the socialists for Hillquit, and Bennett,
the republican candidate for mayor. for
himself. In that event the soldier vote,
cast abroad. might decide the election.
And in case of delay in the returns, or
of questioning their accuracy when re-
ceived, an interesting howdy-do would
be kicked up.
Next year all of this will be empha-
sized and nationalized. Then. in ad
dition to a number of state tickets, con
gressional tickets will be on the card !;
and where there are thousands of voters
in uniform away from home now, there
may be hundreds of thousands at that
time, all anxious to express themselves
at the polls, and demanding that pro-
vision be made for the purpose. Poll
ing such large numbers, scattered as they
may be over France and Belgium, will
require the utmost care. and maybe the
sending abroad of election officers.
The American citizen does not forfeit
his ballot while serving the country in
uniform. He retains his privilege at the
polls, and his desire to exercise it in
behalf of good civil government. In
cantonment, or camp, or trench, or on
battlefield, he misses the excitement Of
political campaigns, with stump orators
and brass bands whooping up voters;
but he keeps fairly well informed
through the newspapers and personal
correspondence as to what in political
way is going on at home, and when vot-
ing time comes he wants his say, and is
more than ever entitled to it.
The war has produced nothing of more
interest to us than this election feature,
and its exercise will be watched with at
tention.

While flames within the furnace roll,

That loans for liberty are due,
Remember, friend, it's up to you
