Your Lad and NV Lad.

Down toward the deep blue water, marching to throb
of drum,
From city street and country lane the lines of khaki
come;
The rumblng guns the sturdy tread are full of grim
appeal,
While rays of western sunshine fash back from
With eager eyes and cheeks aame the serried ranks
advance;
And your dear lad and my dear lad, are on their
way to France.
A sob cings choking in the throat as file on file
sweep by,
ships le
The batteries halt the columns wheel to cear-toned
bugle call,
With shoulders squared and faces front they stand
Tears shine every watchers cheek, love speaks in
For your dear lad, and my dear lad, are on their
way to France.
Before them through mist of years, in soldier buff
or blue,
Brave comrades from thousand fields watch now
The old Flag, the same old Fath-the Freedom
of the World
Spells Duty in those Tapping folds above long ranks
unfurled
Strong are the hearts which bear along Democracy's
advance,
As your dear lad, and my dear lad, go on their
way TO France
The word rings out; million feet tramp forward
the road
Along that path of sacrifice DER which their fathers
strode
With eager eyes and cheeks aHame with cheers on
smiling lips,
These fighting men of I7 move onward to their ships
Nor even love may hold them back or halt that stern
advance
As your deaf. lad and my dear lad go on their

The Press and the Loan.

Those wise ones" who have been contendng that
the publishers efforts to obtain paid advertising for
the liberty loan campaign merely an attempt to
sell advertising space to the government should open
their eyes to the in which the newspapers have
rallied to the support OF the second loan.
If comparison made it would show that
space is being given this bond issue than
accorded the first Publishers have not
changed their opinion. They still believe that the
government could advertising space just as ef-
fectively they can guns and ammunition but
since the government has not fit to invest in
newspaper space, newspapers and magazines feel
the less liable in their patriotic duty
All restrictions to space have been lifted during
the past week by the newspapers, wherever liberty
loan stories concerned. Secretary McAdoos ad-
dresses in the West have been carried at length local
activities Eave been reported to the minuest detail and
every editor in the country has contributed editoriay
to the urging OF bond burying.
Many newspapers have devoted floor space in their
offices for the sale OF the bonds and have organized
clubs among their employees for the buying of the
liberty certificates.
The press IS the firing line for any services that
viii tend to bring success in the to the allies
and it will not let in its efforts until every phase of
the governments various campaigns have been
fully consummated

La Toilette Talks.

Senator Robinson was right. 1t is inconceivable
that any member of the highy-endowed Upper House
of the American Congress could speak for upwards
of three hours upon subject of American welfare
and not give expression to sincere and thorough love
for country
If Senator La Toilette had been convicted in the
minds of true Americans up to that moment his fail
to denote loyalty and allegiance to America and
its institutions and its flag then have swept aside
every vestige of support which he has thus far en-
joyed
If Senator La Toilette was possessed of the love
of country which Americans must feel who glory in
its history, and who thank God for its establishment
such a supreme occasion as he dominated for three
hours Saturday would not have kept it down.
Throughout the period of developing the case
against Senator La Toilette this paper has felt that
if given occasion to defend himself he would at least
'evince fundamental reverence for America upon
which could be predicated DESIRE deep his love
for America, to keep American institutions on a plane
from which he thought they had temporarily fallen.
But there was no expression to guarantee that his
disagreement with conditions was washed with pa
trotism and STEPPED in the blood that flowed from
foreathers when they established the everlasting
monument to liberty. There was only avarice and
resentment and bgotry and selshness and desire to
elevate his puny judgment above Americas needs
at this hour.
God save this country from its La Follettes.

faced them last year the people hoped for peace.
President Wilson did Congress did. But they are
new to the stern duty of war and It Is up to the
returning members to see. that the people are in
structed in the things that make for effective prose-
cution of war.
Congress has work before it which can help
quite as much toward concluding the war; the steps
taken here during the session. Let hope that the
desire of Congressman to be returned next year will
be entirely subordinated to the desire TO have our
boys return whole from France, and that every mem
Der will go about his task with consciousness Of his
duty to his country rather than to himself.
Socratesian philosophy correct perhaps but
awkwardly phrased fear for if it had read First
TO fellow Ito country be true and it follows as
day the night thou cannot then be false to thysef'

Let Congressman do their duty, during this recess
and the future will bring them victory though, in
instances, it may bring defeat for reelection
next fall.

Congress During Recess.

year ago Democratic Representatives and Senators
descended the country and urged the reelection OF
President Wilson on peace platform. And yet with
in FIVE weeks after the President took his second oath
resolution had been passed and the country
had begun energetic preparation for mammoth
conflict.
The Representatives and Senators, in large
measure, are now going home to urge Americans to
stand solidly behind their country in this affair
There is need, believe, in an effort being
made 70 justify Americas entrance into the conflict
That justification had long ago No American

brought about the establishment of our country can

THE EXPLANATION.

The conversation in a Washington,
club the other evening turned to
the question of sleepless nights. when
Senator George E. Chamberlain. of
Oregon, recalled the following story:
One morning some time since a busi-
ness man who lives in the suburbs
appeared at the Office looking as
wearied and worn as II he hadn't
slept for week. Naturally his as
sociates wondered.
Gee. whiz, Jimi" remarked one Of
them. you look as IL you had been

.urbanite, dropping into the nearest
chair. II was blown out of bed at

other. with questioning expression.

sigh. ''baby's grandmother came to

Rolo and 1ernstorf.

The average student Of national psychology could
have told Count Won 3ernstorf that an attempt to
seduce the French people with peace lure was the
:raziest and most hopeless venture of diplomacy
Imaginable. The puzzling Bolo Pasha, of Levantiue
iaancia wizardry whose character as Teuton agent
has been developed by the dispatches, may
n may not have been acting in good faith when he
anglcd for funds from Won Jagow and Bernstorf.
But the latters acumen failed him when he let the
.eg-pdling Bolo get nearly 100000 from him.
1t is little wonder that Bernstorf hestated to give
the OF the country which he had in mind" in
writing to the Berlin foreign office, and that the
puzzled Won Jagow replied to him: IF the enemy
country (Which you have in mnd) is Russia, have
nothing to do with the business the of money
is too small to have any serious effect in that country
The former German Ambassador doubtless suspected
that if he said France the country which he hoped
20 corrupt the astute Won Jagow would have been
trifle caustc in his answer. France, of all
tries the deepest in its hatred of Prussansm, to
die rather than 10 submit to the heel of the Bosche
France likely prove vulnerable peace seduction
whose driving force money!
The German foreign minister gives an insight into
the huge sums which Germany spending for cor
rupt purposes in Russia during that fateful year of
1916 Desperately anxious for peace, the Kaiser was
testing out the weak spots in the iron ring" against
him. Apparently he found weak spots Even the
debauched court ring around the Gar found it i'm
possible to do much for him. After year of secret
experiments the formal peace kite launched in
December, with the program of beginning the era
of submarine frghtfulness if it failed at the risk
of algning the United States among his enemies.
The Vaccinations of Boo in France and Spain, of
course have been exploited in the press dispatches
The main feeling provoked by them is that any shrewd
nancier could have felt they would be of the slightest
effect in serving peace purpose. They may, indeed
have reacted many weak minds and failing spirits
among the French. But these in pitiful minority
and it requires only vigorous speech or two from
such zealos Rene Vvani to blow their chatter sky
high. Yet Bolo clever enough to get the money
from Berlin, and vain enough to risk his skin by
