The Belgian Coast.

Additional reason for the clearance Of
the Belgian coast suggested as the pur-
pose Of the allies in their next west
front advance lies in the necessity Of
oepriying the Germans of airpiane bases
from which to conduct raids upon Eng
land. Today brings news of fifteen hos
tile planes bombarding the east end Of
London this morning. 1t is stated that
thirty were killed and sirty.seven
wounded by the bombs.
An immense advantage would be
gained by pressing the Germans from
the Belgian coast by thrust from the
direction Of Ypres. At present it is
possible to reach England by q flint
OF less than sixty miles from . land
station near Ostend. If the Belgian
coast were cleared the nearest coast sta
tion for airplane work under German
control would be East Friesland in the
neighborhood of Emden, from which the
flying distance would be about 24o miles
1t would still, of course, be possible
with the coast lost, for Germany to send
airplanes over from the interior Of Bel.
gium, but the fight would not be %
easy as 1t is at present. The chief rea.
son for wrestling the seashore from the
Germans. however. is to deprive Ger.
many of submarine bases The opera.
tions near Ypres indicate persistence
in this move. An advance has been
made in the direction of Warneton for a
considerable depth along a front of two
miles The taking Of Messines ridge ap
pears to have demoralized the German
defense and heavy operations are to be
expected in this quarter soon. .

Flags and Bond Buttons.

Three moro days remain, Mr.. Citizen.
to put liberty bond button in your
coat lapel to accompany the flag you
wear there. Three more days of OPP
portunity to do n most practical bit for
the country whose eolors you have been
proud to wear for many weeks
Washington has gone beyond the al
lotment set by the Treasury for this
District, and will perhaps exceed even
the figure set by the business men as an
appropriate sum to be subscribed by the
National Capital. But that should not
deter any person from subscribing out
of spirit of helpfulness. Every dollar
loaned the government now counts as
war contribution. The Districts surplus
over the original allotment may be
needed to help bring the country's total
to the two-binion mark.
1t is SO easy to buy a liberty bond,
the terms are so accommodating to even
the man Of slender means. that there is
no excuse for failure to join the ranks
Of the button wearers. It is estimated
that there are now more than $4,000 in
dividual bond buyers in the District.
There should be more than twice as
many. Washington ought to present a
record Of bond buying by one-tenth Of
its population. That would make about
10000 bondholders in this city. In these
last three days this figure ought to be
reached.
The banks are holding open nights
to accommodate those who cannot get
there in daylight hours, to explain the
methods Of bond buying and to take
the names Of subscribers. Go to the
nearest bank this evening and ask ques-
tions. You will find that it is SO easy to
become supporter of the government
in its war work that you will probably
leave the bank with a button on your
coat, q fit accompaniment to the flag.
The two together stand for good citizen
ship.

Washington's Bit-and Better.

Washington is indeed setting the pace
for the country in the purchase Of lib
erty bonds. Originally allotted $780,
900 Of the loan, the capital yesterday
passed this figure and went to &c.
16l 900.
This 10 the largest proportionate ex-
cess over allotment Of any city in the
country. It il a remarkable showing Of
practical patriotism, and if every Ameri-
can community had made one as good
the loan would on yesterdays reckon.
ing be oversubscribed by 100000 900.
When It is considered that Washing.
ton is . non-eommercial city, with few
large business establishments, with the
major portion Of its population on a
salary basis. with few great individual
fortunes, this showing Of . subscrip-
tion of more than 100000, and still
rising perhaps to reach $4,000, 900, is
remarkable.
The great success of the local cam
paign for the loan recorded thus far
should stimulate everybody to do even
better. There are still many thousands
Of Washingtonians who can take bonds
but who have not yet subscribed. Wash.
ington should make q record not only
in the proportionate total Of the sub
scriptions, but in the aetual number of
subscribers.
1t will be a most happy result if
through the active work now being done
by the business men and bankers of the
city 25,000 individual Washingtoniana
take bonds. Let that be the goal for
the big drive that is to end Friday. The
banks keep open until 9 o'clock tonight
and tomorrow night to give every one
a chance to ask questions and take
bonds Every person in this city who
has not yet bought q bond should 20
to one Of the banks Immediately and
make arrangements to buy at least one
of these securities.
