Allies of the Kaiser.

Just as the Civil war had its Tories,
men who were really allies of the
king of England and enemies OF lib
erty, so America still has men who
oppose with all the power at their
command every act of the government
which is attempting to bring this war
to a speedy and victorious end All
the powers of the kaiser will be used
in an effort to kill just as many Amer
leans as he can, to murder, to plundei
and to destroy. Those men who toll
crate agitators in their midst, those
who attempt to thwart the efforts OF
the administrator to deal crushing
blow to Prussianism, are nothing
more nor less than valuable allies OF
the kaiser.
Although, among the great mass OF
patriotic citizens, these men are but
an insignificant minority, their oppo.
sition to the interests of the country
will mean that American boys must
remain in front Of Prussian cannon
just a little longer. Their acts are a
crime against every boy who is fight.

mother who is sacrificing in an eff.

With the prolongation Of the war
and the increasing emission of paper
currency by the European belligerents'
silver has correspondingly risen IN

eral respects. What 1t suggests chier-
Iy Is the general reconciliation OF
silver after peace will have been con-
cluded.
This of course will ease and level the
purchasing power of nations.
To America the prospect Is not
alarming. With silver the United
States Is supplied mined and unm1n-
ed. In consequence the far west should
flourish as of yore. Palatial hotels
should multiply again in Colorado. Sill
yer cupolas should again glisten In the
Nevada sunlight. Copper coins should
disappear from California Denver
should witness the reverse of what she
saw when the silver purchase act was
annulled, should people from every
where flock to her. The shade OF
Senator Teller should smile.
And Mexico must flourish in spite
of herself-despite uncertainty of gov
eminent. For Mexico once In work
ing mood can do for European minis
what she did during decades for China
and India. Peru. too, may re-experi-
ence a prosperity that will permit her
once more to pave a highway with
silver.
In the circumstances the position OF
this country is unique. We have quite
a third of the worlds available gold
in our vaults and stand next to Next
co as a potential silver producer.
Either way, then, we are safe.

TO SEND FOOD TO
AMERICAN PRISONERS
Germany's inadequate Rations
Make Work Imperative.

Washington. The American Red
Cross has perfected plans to care for
Americans who may be captured and
held In German prison camps. A pris-
oners' relief committee has been organ
lied at Berne, Switzerland, under the
supervision of Ellis L. Dresel of the
American legation. Mr.. Dresel served
from the outbreak of the war, in 1914,
up to our breaking off diplomatic rela-
lions as an attache of the American
embassy at Berlin, where his duties in
cluded relief work for men of the en-
tente nationalities In German prison
camps.
Today about a hundred American
prisoners are held in Germany, Most
of these are civilians taken off Amer
lean merchantmen that have been sunk
by Teuton submarines More recent
arrivals In the prison camps had served
as gun crews, since the arming of our
merchant ships.
Speedy provisions for their relief and
for those who may be taken prisoner is
necessitated by the German policy of
giving their prisoners Of war food to-
tally inadequate to keep men In good
health. The extremely high death rate
among Russian. Servian and Rouma-
nian prisoners in Germany and Austria

nians) has been largely due to the In
ability of Russia and the Balkan states
to organize the rationing of prisoners

A Balance sheet.

Three years ago Germany began
this war for the conquest of middle
Europe. What has she gained2 What
has this gain cost her?
She has gained by her arms the ter
ritories of Belgium, Luxembourg, Ser
bia, a small but rich section OF north
ern France, and parts OF Lithuania,
Poland, and Roumania-a total OF a
little less than 204, 200 square miles.
She has lost:
Except for an insignificant corner
in southern Africa all her colonies,
over a million square miles.
Practically all her shipping not bot
tied up In Bremen and Hamburg, a
loss estimated in tonnage as 100000,
or the flower OF her youth, over q.
600 900.
In cash, nearly $4,000, 100000 to be
added to her national debt,
Before the war, though unpopular
as a people, Germany was honored
among all nations for her intellectual
scholarship and her industrial eff.
cheney She has lost irretrevably
this respect and won in its place the
mingled hatred and contempt OF the
civilized world. Scarcely a consider
able neutral nation is left except those
whose safety compels their neutrality.
No one thinks Germany can retain
her gains. No one imagines that she
can recover her losses. 1t Is not
strange that some of the German peo
Pile are seriously discussing among
themselves the question whether IL is
not time to change their business
manaCers.--The Outlook.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE

ce3sful Corporation.

Likening the United States to q
great corporation with more than a
hundred million stockholders and with
capital stock and resources OF more
than two hundred and fifty billions OF
dollars, and an annual income OF
fifty billions Of dollars, each Ameri-
can citizen is stakeholder In this

only assets are the earning capacity
own shares in our public domain and
property and are working on profit
sharing basis with vote and voice
in the management of the corporation
and with the right to acquire more
stock at any time.
A Liberty Loan Bond may be liken-
ed to a share of preferred stock In
this gigantic corporation. Like pre-
ferred stock in other corporations, II
may not return, at times, 80 large a
dividend as common stock, but the
dividend from it Is certain and sure.
1t is stock that pays 3I2 per cent
dividend, but the stock and dividend
cannot be taxed, and while crop fail
ures may decrease the farmers divt-
dend from his land some years to less
than nothing, and various causes may
lessen or destroy dividends from all
other sorts of property, the dividend
from the Liberty Loan bond is GER
tain and sure, subject to no failure or
diminuticn.
The owner of Liberty Loan bond
holds written. tangible evidence OF
being a preferred stakeholder in the
United States, the greatest, the most
glorious, the most honorable and the
most successful corporation in the
world. He holds the certificate OF
being a citizen willing to support his
government and to lend money to his
country when it needs it and calls
for it.
There is honor in being the owner
Of Liberty Loan bond as well as
