the biggest mines sprung. They had
just got to their feet in anticipation
of the final word to move forward as
the earth opened two hundred yards
in front of them. The force of the
explosion was such and the earth
shook SO violently that every man was
flung down. The men were up again
in an instant, however, and pressed
forward happier then ever.

protestant Irishmen fought together

of the great war 1t was stroke of
genius on the part of the army com
mander who thus brouP them to-
gether. They had stiff hand-to- hand
fighting at several points, and these
troops are far better in this style of
warfare. The men from Ulster ana
from the south of Ireland were to be
seen in their new trenches wearing
German caps and helmets and with
broad grins across their faces.
The entire battle, although one of
the outstanding events of the war,
moved SO smoothly that there is lit
tie to be told about it except the
complete detail with which it was
prepared and the willing bravery with
which each man went over the top,
whether he was English, Irish, Aus
tralian or New Zealander. Some of
them even did not have tops to go
over at one swampy part, where the
British lay directly under German
observation. 1t had been impossible to
construct decent trenches there. The
place was knowq as the mud patch"
The night of the attack several Of
ficers went in front of the mud patch
to arrange starting points for the
various attacking waves. The moon
came from behind the thick clouds
while this operation was in progress
and the Germans saw. what was be-
ing done, one of the British officers
being killed by the rifle fire which
the Germans Immediately directed
upon them.
Later when the troops gaily moved
up and over the open and crouched
down to wait for the hour of attack,
German signals began to go up. 1t
was a moment of terror for the Brit
ish brigadier general commanding
this bit of the line, for he thought
his plan has been discovered. The
Germans, however evidently thought
it was raid coming. AS a matter
of fact all the British troops had just
moved from that part of the line, as
a mine had been set for explosion in
front of it. Later it was learned that
the Germans had heavily manned
their trench in front of the mud patch
and their losses in the ensuing ex-
plosion were very great.
Tanks had their ups and downs
in the battle, doing effective work and
also aff0rding much amusement for
the "Tommies.

We hardly believe that the great, overwhelming

could only of things: either that the
people, spite the intensive campaign education
of the last two months have failed to understand;
else that this is popular From of these
conclusions cannot get away. There be
other explanation of the failure of the loan.
Congress has voted bonds in the of s5,OO0,OeO,
900. The Liberty Loan includes only three-ffths Of
that amount $2O0000O.00O If the people reject the
Liberty Loan how it be hoped that they be

bonds when they are offered? And then back them

current savings country they will be taken by

business of the country will be brought to such

Germany is taking a far keener interest in the
Liberty Loan than America seems to be doing If

Loan has beer shown to be a popular loan.
We cannot believe that the American people will
permit such a defeat in what may decisive bat
tie but that the last moment the days which
yet remain, they will rally the support their
government and the allies. 1t is inconceivabe that
any considerable number of Americans do believe
that engaged in a righteous war the result

The Citizen Who is Not a Citizen

That who will fight for his country
should not be allowed to vote is doctrine which was
first announced by Colonel Roosevelt
strengthened by his endorsement. To defend ones
country a duty Voting is a privilege as distinct
from right with which many fact the most
us, confound it. If it were right it could not be
taken from a citizen and it ouldnot need
ferred indeed rights never conferred; they nhere
Privileges conferred and they may be with
drawn. The privilege voting is conferred by ma
jority of citizens already in enjoyment of that priv
eye. 1t may be conferred only upon property
and it may be withheld from those without property
qualifications but in this country it is happily not
withheld In some states, Arizona among them, it
has been withheld and withdrawn from citizens
who have not certain educational qualifications. In
states the privilege has comparatively recently
been granted to So it is that voting is
only privilege and right; is granted
some merit and be withdrawn for lack of merit,
for instance, from who have been convicted
of felones.
Privileges are not conferred for nothing as rule
There is obligation at least implied held in
pension on the part of those who receive privileges.
That obligation becomes a duty to be performed
whenever the holder privilege is called upon to
perform it. The foremost duty of every citizen is to
do his part toward preserving the country of which
he is citizen If he neglects duty he should no
longer be entitled to enjoy the privileges
