then he put some lettuce salve on
Uncle Lucky's left hind leg and bound

after that the old gentleman rabbit felt
ever so much better, and then he gave

the duck doctor said the old gentleman

MAKE HIN SALUTE The FLAG

The chairman of the state council Of
defense has received the following in
quiry from a banker who had been
asked to sell Liberty Loan bonds:

have discovered way to induce people
who are in sympathy with Germany in
this war to buy Liberty bonds l would
be grateful to you if you would tell me
how it is DONE"
This is a community in which i
great majority of people are opposed
to war against Germany and they
seem to feel that it is an insult to them
to be asked to buy Liberty bonds. We

WHAT ELSE CAN ENGLAND D0l

Lloyd George promises the English
people that air craft reprisal is to be
swift and terrible. Bomb for bomb"
vengeance shall be theirs
1t has TO come to this in the course
of events and the quality of human
nature. Humans are still human. That
IS the excuse not the Justification for
British airships raining bombs on Ger
man cities. Killing German children
IS not justified even by the killing Of
other children. Savagery begets saw
agery. Savagery is often the only eff
fective answer to savagery.
For months and years the Germans
have bombarded school children at
their desks and slain nom combatants
in the streets and homes. England
has endured it Not so France. The
Germans learned early that France,
least savage of warning nations, in
herently repaid brutality in it's own
coin in her own defense. So air raids
were few on French cities. To be sure
Germany hates England even more
than she hates France but Germany
has not dismissed an advantage, how
ever barbarous the means might be
She has kept her air craft from
French cities because she knew that
reprisal in kind would be both swift
and terrible.
What answer can England make ex-
Cept with her air fleets? What other
answer is left her? Horrible as it all
IS, what other possible check can she
put on German air raids?
So shameful has modern war be-
come. And for what reason? Simply
and surely because Germany has
brought into war every barbarious the
Dry and practice the past had dis
covered and that modern ingenuity
shora of all mercy has been able to
introduce.
None can approve of the bombing
Of cities crowded with non-com-
batants; but what can England do?

There will be no reaction. Scheming
