most entirely men who arrived with

A FINE EXAMPLE

Probably no public man in the
United States worked harder to keen
this country at peace and was more
outspoken in denouncing the evils
of war than w. J. Bryan. But now
that war has come no one is rem
dering more loyal service to the gov
eminent or giving sounder advice to
his countrymen as to their patriotic
duty, than the great commoner of
Nebraska. In recent appeal to his
countrymen, he said:
mo one who loves his country can
afford to take any chances of helping
the common enemy by exciting
divisions here. The more prom inent
a man is the more careful he should
be to say nothing that may encour-
age the enemy and have a damaging
effect upon the country. Any dis
sension at this time would have a
tendency to prolong the war, and any
war, no matter how short its dura-
ton, is abundantly long. The more
anxious a man is for peace the more
Loyalty he ought TO support the gov
eminent as the only way to secure
lasting peace"

A SOCIALIST PROTEST

Alfredo Helsby, a socialist editor
of Valparaiso, Chilli, who is visiting
in the United States, addresses the
following stirring appeal to the
socialists of this country:
Unless the whole bunch has been
born and raised in Prussia, the only
inference is that they have never
glimpsed the faintest suspicion of
what socialism really stands for.
VIII any one venture to deny that
the spirit of socialism is primarily
that of universal brotherhood, a
square deal for all, and the fulfilling
OF the Christian claim that we are
our brothers keepers? Win any one
dare to affirm that this is the spirit
of skulkers and cutters? Where is
the universal brotherhood of those
who would skulk to the end, chuck
ling over their MON entary security
behind the allied lines and the guns
of the fleet while the avowed cham
pions of the right of might, the un-
abashed breakers or every law OF God
and man, of peace and war, threaten
to engulf their struggling brothers
across the ocean? Where is the
square deal in attempting to shirk
their part OF the terrible but holy
task of eyicting those arch-maraud-
ers and baby-killers from ruined and
starving Belgium and Poland and
Serbia and Rumania?
This CHASTITY sham, this Turing
sirens song of Peace, while the
world is burning, is likewise the glib
parrot cry of their lusty co-workers,
the soulless Iseariots of newborn
Russia. Shall their joint Screenings

The local Red Gross organization
last week made an appeal for a desk
and chair, for janitors to clean up
the headquarters, for lumber for
boxes in which to ship supplies and
for carpenters to make the boxes.
The appeal met with a prompt
response. H. Folger has loaned the
organization a desk and chair. F. o.
Brownson has donated some lum-
Der for boxes and the following
teams of High school boys have vol
unteered to act as janitors for a
week each:

is PATRIOTISM DRUGGED ?

Quite naturally Germany does not
want to fight the United States-yet.
She wants to have all the advant-
age of walking over us, wiping her
feet on our PROSTATE form and going
ahead with her ambitious Job of
whipping Europe. But she does not
want us to get angry enough to re-
sent her treatment with effective
force.
SO Germany ostentatiously ignores
US as a beliggerent. She sinks our
ships because she finds it convent
ent' and knows that we have grown
used to the stories of American YES
sells torpedoed and American lives
lost at sea. She reasons to herself
that these little outrages no longer
provoke thrill in the United States.
But she will not do more than this
now because TO do more would be to
lnflame American feeling and awake
the country to its peril.
Let America sleep" is the policy
of Berlin.
And in order that the sleep may
be long she fills the air with sopor-
liic fumes; she permits much talk of
peace and peace terms, of political
and social reforms; she allows the
young ruler of Austria to emit elo-
quent antiquities designed to please
sentimentalists and moon-chasing
idealists; she suddenly becomes COM
placent in the face of socialistic
propaganda.
All this in the hope that those
'idiotic Americans" will sniff the
drug and lapse into deeper slumber.

the war she lulled Great Britain into
false sense of security. 1t was thus

Their patriotism is drugged, and
they are trying to drug the patriot

Berlin wants America to fail.
She wanted the liberty loan to fail.
She wants the selective draft to

She wants Americans to remain
asleep until she can save herself on
the western front, until she can inn

self firmly in the Balkans and make

The Farmers Boy.

The. Bethlehem Steel Corporation
has made the interesting statement
that out of three hundred employees
holding the most responsible positions
in the company two hundred and sixty
three were born on farms. Although
a number of them were taken as chill
dren into towns, many more were
reared in the country-a fact that
gives new force to the repeated as
sertion that the American farm is the
best training school for American
boys, because it breeds in them two
qualities supreme in citizenship:
resourcefulness and independence.
We are all prone to lay stress on
the technicalities Of education. We
prize the town because it gives kinder
gartens to babies, manual training
schools to boys and business colleges
to young men. 1t gives free libraries,

free doctoring and perhaps free den
tistry. It gives encouragement for
talents of every order, keen COMPETE
ton and wide field of activity. Par
ents say that they cannot afford to
lose those splendid advantages for
their children. Immigrants say that
in the town there is always helping
hand, and that in the country there
is no one to depend upon except them
selves. Depending upon ourselves
may be the most salutary thing in
the world, but it is not, and never will
be, popular. It is losing favor every
day in a country that owes its exis-
tence, it's freedom, it's best traditions,
to the sturdy independence of its first
settlers and to the spirit they trans
mitted to their sons.
The resourcefulness Of the farmers
boy is forced upon him by fate. AS
has been often observed, the farmer
cannot send for a carpenter in the
next street to put up a shelf, or for
a locksmith to mend broken latch,
or for a builder to patch hole in the
roof. He cannot stop on his way home
from work to make half dozen con-
venient purchases. His son learns in
childhood to do things for himself, be-
cause there is no one ready and wait
ing to do them for him. He acquires
dexterity, and something far more i'm

He Had His Orders,

An English Home Secretary who
once had occasion to defend the Lon
don police, says British weekly, de-
clared it to be the least corruptible
body of it's kind in existence. In proof
he narrated the following incident:
A young constable fresh from Scot
land was on duty in the West End of
Londan, and had instructions to stop
the traffic as royalty was expected.
A lady who was unceremoniously
''held up" on the way to the theater
put her head out of the window of her
electric brougham and called to the
constable to let her pass.
II Gamma do it, ma'am," the police
man said.
'But Pm the wife of a Cabinet min
ister."

you were. the wife of a Presbyterian

WAR COST STACGERS
BRITISH LAWMAKERS

London, July 25.-Moving in the
house of commons vote OF credit for
$3,250, 100000, the largest war credit
yet asked and bringing Great Britain S
expenditure to the colossal total of
$26,460 100000, Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, gave
startling figures of the amazing growth
of Great Britain's financial burden in
the war and emphasized from the
financial viewpoint alone the great i'm
portance of the United States entering
the war as insuring that the allies
would not be deprived Of victory
through lack of money.
The house was astonished to learn
that Great Britain's advances to the
allies and dominions already had ex-
ceeded $5,OO0,O 100000. The daily war
expenditures still approach $35,000,-
100000 daily.
Expressing his disappointment at
the necessity of such large advances
to the allies the chancellor referred
to the British standpoint of unselfsh
generosity in regarding the whole en-
tente allied cause as one and explain
ed that the cost of all the supplies for
the allies produced in Great Britain
during the war had been betrayed by
England and that previous to the en-
try of America into the war much of
the supplies of the allies produced
abroad also had been paid for by Eng.

SERIOUS BLOW TO HOLLAND
Germany Stops All Expectation of Coal
. to Former Country.

Amsterdam, July 25.-Germany has
stopped all expectation of coal to Hol.
land.
AS Holland gets practically it's en-
tire coal supply from Germany this
action will make conditions in The
Netherlands serious.
Why Germany placed the embargo
is not stated, but it is known that
Germany has threatened to cut off
the coal supply to Holland unless the
Dutch continue to furnish Germany
with food. Under this threat the
Dutch have been shipping food to
Germany, though short of provisions
themselves.
It is well known that large >quanti-
ties of food sent to Holland from the
United States has found it's way in
to Germany. When the United States
put the embargo on food exports to
European neutrals Holland protested,
saying her people would starve.
Now that food shipments from the
United States to Holland have been
stopped, it is probable the Dutch have
ceased to send food into Germany,
and the Germans have retaliated by
cutting off the coal supply.

Homeless in London.

The United States government has
never taken much interest in the
housing of it's ambassadors, says
British weekly, and when DR.. Page
first arrived in London in 1913, having
no embassy to go to, he had to find
rooms at a hotel like an ordinary
tourist.
Soon afterwards he set out one night
to see the sights of the metropolis by
moonlight, and while strolling slowly
round Trafalgar square he was accost-
ed by suspicious policeman, who in
quired his name.

"Well, what are you doing wander

policeman. "Then who are you?"*

sador," replied Mr.. Page sadly.

Another quality as imperative for
good citizenship as independence is
readiness to serve. There is nothing
in the wide wide world at once 50
ignoble and so enervating as the plain
ly expressed determination of many
Americans to do as little as they pos
sibly: can for, their country, in return
for it's protection and. support. They
are willing to hang out flags and sing
The Star-Spangled Banner; but they
leave to the other and better men to
make sacrifices and brave dangers,
while they sit smugly by. Now, the
farmers boy never expects to get
something for nothing. The first les
son he learns in life is that the good
old earth yields no harvests to slack
hands, and by the light of that knowl-
edge he comes to understand that citi-
zenship means giving as we'll as re-
ceiving. There is bred in him a home
ly dignity that makes the beggar's
role distasteful to his pride. If the
