PATRIOTIC NEWSPAPERS.


It will come as a surprise to many persons to
learn that when the Liberty Loan campaign start
cd the government thought seriously about ad-
~vertising In the public press of the country, but
that officials finally came to the conclusion that
the government could obtain all the space 1t wan
ted free Of cost, and that the 5000, 900 appropria-
ton for promotion purposes need not 80 to the
papers.
The newspapers, without a whimper, went
right in for the bond selling campaign with the
eclat of a cavalry charge, and in reality handed
the government about $40, oo0, 900 i nfree space.
And all they have gotten in return, it seems,
is an attempt by the administration to censor
them and a kick out Of the state department.
Funny, isn't it7

HOW LONG?
James Gerard, former ambassador to Germany,
is of the opinion that the great war will last two
years longer. He says the kaiser still has H.
600, 900 men to draw from, despite losses.
Specializing as to the length of the war is an
amusement open to all, and one mans opinion
is about as good as another's.
We do not think the kaiser has 100000 men
to draw freEa, however, and we don't see how
Germany can hold out two years longer.
