the wealth of the common people is
 a great reservoir, and that no country
 has ever succeeded in sounding its depths. When the indemnity of the
 Franco-Prussian war was assessed against her, she was supposed to be a bankrupt nation. Yet she raised five billion franks, almost in day, and the payment of it did not interrupt her na- tional prosperity, This wonderfui eco, homie achievement was effected through the utilization of the small savings of small people -- besides which all the money of millionaires is as a molehill to a mountain. If Ameri- ca meets the call for cash as did France - each citizen subscribing his share - it will have performed a stu. pendous patriotic duty, without risk of causing even the slightest paralysis to the industries of the country. Also, it will have substantially contributed to the moral as we'll as the material support of the administration and the armed forces of the nation.

Notwithstanding Bernstorff and Bopp and all the cold-blooded as- sassins of German diplomacy who have been doing the bidding of the German foreign office for years the people of Germany, whom We have generously assumed to be superior to their gov ernment, are hugging their kaiser to their hearts and protesting that they will never suffer themselves to be humiliated at his expense.

GOVERNMENTS HANDS FREE
 FOR PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

The German chancellor's declaration that the imperial governments hands are free for eventual peace negotia- tions," and that this also refers to Belgium is at variance with the story which came to us the other day that Germany had intimated to the pope the conditions on which it would be ready to evacuate Belgium. But it would probably attribute more mean ing than the chancellor intended to regard it as a denial of that story. Di- piomacy, and particularly German di- plomacy, is not so averse to euuivoca- tions and tergiVersations as to justify one in supposing that Germany wishes its enemies to disregard that story. What the chancelloT's present dis claimer probably signifies is that the military and pan-6srman parties have seized on the report of Germany's readiness to eyacuate Belgium as the occasion for a demonstration of oppo- sition. It is to these opponents at home, rather than to the enemies of Germany, that the chancellor's dis claimer is addressed in all Likelihood. His is probably the rather delicate task of saying something which will deceive them without deceiving the allies. IS Es a+~ wy y.....

THE CALL FOR CASH.

A prepOnderance of men, munitions and money is essential to the success full prosecution of the war against Ger many. This nation has all three of these prime requisites i'll abundance If it can only get them into action. The ways are open to obtain the necessary support - 1t cen call for volunteer ser vice and contributions, and, this fail ing, it can resort to confiscation and conscriptiOn. When the call for vol unteers failed to fill the ranks of the great army to be mobilized, the gov ernment did not hestitate to eenserIbe q million men into the service, end every other able bodied man in the country stands liable for similar ser vice in his turn. Had the manufactur- CTS of America shown any disposition to play the part of slackers, the gov ernment would have confiscated their plants without ceremony, but it will stand to the enduring credit of the captains of American industry that they met the call of their country promptly and with a full apprecia- tion of their manifest duty under the circumstances. It remains to be seen whether the governments call for cash will be met with a similar re- sponse from the civilians.
 The nation needs money - billions of money - and the citizens have been asked to subscribe to three bill lion dollar bond issue immediately The issue is designated as the second Lib erty loan. The bonds will draw four per cent interest, and will be issued against the credit of the wealthiest na- ton in the world. Of all investments open at the present time, this is far the most attractive and, aside from sentimental aspects, should make a strong appeal to the prospective in vestOr who gauges such transactions by the cOld-blooded rule of pecuniary profit. The man with money should bear uppermost in mind that the gov ernment needs his spare cash and that 1t will get it one way or another. Just now it's proposition is to borrow the money on gilt edge security and pay him four per cent for the use of it. This failing, the alternative will be to take his money away from him in the form of taxes.
 IL ought not be necessary to play upqa the sentiments of the people to sell these bonds. They should sell themselves on their own merits and without appeal to patriotic impulses. The prevailing fear that the purchase of Liberty bonds will work hardship on the respective purchasers and re- suit in general financial stringency Is based on a flimsy foundation. These negotiations will Simply involve a shifting of credits; the money will all remain in the country and will speed fly be put into circulation, and 1t will eventually come back to the original investor with substantial interest In the meantime, the country will have materially benefited through it's use.
 But if the loan is to be a success and these results realized, there must be general distribution of the bonds.
