did. spring to the defense Of our land
and liberty. He called not for men. 1t
was for guns, ammunition, food, clothing,
hospital service, ambulances, and all the
things our soldiers need to fight our bat

Whoopee! Uncle Sam
Will Raise S54,7O9,5OO
For Detroit.

II doesn't detract from the glory OF
this city's magnificent bond-selhng cam
paign to turn the announcement OF the
result right around.
For that is what it amounts to. Uncle
Sam has subscribed S2.lS8,3s0 a year for
2 years for Detroit besides returning
the So. 709.500 loan. after expanding 1t
here for war purposes
The real benefciaries of the Liberty
bond sale in this city are the 100000 pur-
chasers. They get the best security IN
the world at time when their country
needs the money the most.
They double their investment and their
patriotism.
The real bcnefactors of the city are the
bond sellers and bankers who, intelligent
~ and specifically, did what the govern
ment asked and threw in $11,709,500 for
good measure.
They have doubled the gratitude Of
their fellowcitizens.

How Pacifism Defeats Itself

There are in this country paeifsts who
are really pro-Germans, working as earn
estly as anybody can for the kaiser. But
there are also pacifists who abhor the
kaiser and are genuinely opposed TO war
The unfortunate thing about these
good people is they are taking the very
step that will defeat their dreams.
~ taking OF peace now they pay OF
rectly into the kaiser's hands. A peace
now would be a premature peace an IN
conclusive peace, German peace. IL
would leave the kaiser master Of middle
Europe. with no punishment for having
brot this horror upon the world, and with
his hands free TO prepare for the next
war of which German speakers are con-
stantly talking and German publicists
constantly writing.
A peace such as the honest pacihsts in
this country are now talking of would be
the seed Of many future wars.
II would be more than that. Il would
be the cause Of the greatest development
Of miltarism the world ever saw.
Nations would all be armed camps.
France would not dare allow her citizens
20 return to peaceful pursuits. England
would not dare dismiss her soldiers 70
their old industrial life. Our own country
would not be able to return 10 the old
status
On the other hand. il would be an i'm

Pathetic Figure of Fighting
Bob AS Crawling Bob"

Fighting Bob" La Fayette has become
Craving Bob. After all his bombastc
defance-after months of defamation Of
his country, after repeating every ex-
ploded lie put on, by BernstorT and the
other propagandists who sowed them
broadcast, La Toilette is al last brought
up squarely to TIN issue.
He Is charged with deliberately mis-
representing the facts of the Lusitania
case. As TO his motives in going back
to that pre-war event and classifying it
there can be no question whatever His
Misrepresentation can have only one ef-
fect-it can help the kaiser and no one
else, and as an intelligent man La Fol
lette must be held to know and assume
the responsibility of his acts.
And Craving Bob" finches from the
issue He wants to talk about something
else. He doesn't want TO be queried on
why he lied-or where he got his in
formation.
He wants to broaden the scope Of the
inquiry" so that he can DO the cutie fish
stunt again. and conceal his turptude
in cloud Of drooI and piffle about Wall
ST. munitions makers or "constitu-
tional rights"
