BUSINESS PATRIOTISM,
VRO0MAN'S CRY; FLAYS
UNREASONABLE PIRACY

Washington, D. c., July 17.-An
appeal to the business world to make
the conduct of this war as clean and
patriotic, as heroic and self-sacrificing
at home as it is in the trenches iaUNd + OF
day by Carl Vrooman, Assistant Sec
rotary Of Agriculture.
"Never before have the business
men of a nation shown as much pa
triotism as they have shown in the
United States during the past three
MONTHS" said Mr.. Vrooman in form
al statement. Unfortunately, how
ever, there have been exceptions to
this rule. Only recently we have seen
the Secretary of the Navy and the
chairman of the Shipping Board
forced into the arena in a hand-to-
hand struggle with an organization
of unpatriotic, selfish, sodden steel
magnates.
"If an army of civilian patriots be
not organized to stand behind the
President and fight this great fight
for business honor, while our boys in
khaki are fighting and dying triumph
antly in the trenches, the country
will be disgraced at home by de-
spicable scramble for illigitimate war
profits on steel and coal, on NUM-
lions and food.
Every day we hear men regret
that they are too old to enlist. There
is no man too old to make his sacri-
fee at the shop, the bank, the farm,
the ballot box, sacrifice of greed and
partisanship.
There is a pernicious brood OF
tories, junkers and reactionaries in
every large city and in every State
in this land. They belong to no par
ty. They bear the black flag of finan-
cial piracy and the yellow flag of eco.
nomic treason. At every election from
this time forth the liberals of all po-
litical parties should make common
cause against. the junker reactionar.
les. A political realignment is de-
mended with patriots whose motto is
Service to country" arrayed in sol
id phalanx against the INSCRIPTIONS
disloyal self-seekers."

MONEY NOT TIED UP

Money invested in Liberty Loan
Bonds is in no way in the world "tied
up" So far as the Government is
concerned the money paid in for these
bonds, including that loaned our al
lies, is being and is to be spent in this
country and therefore Immediately
paid back to the people for labor and
products of the United States. So
far from being "tied up" this money
is in effect never withdrawn from cir
culation.
So far as the investor in the Lib
erty Loan Bond is concerned his mon
oy is not "tied up" since there is al
ways ready market for United
States Government bonds. Everybody
knows this. AS shown by the sub
scription the demand for Liberty Loan
Bonds exceeded the supply so per cent.
This creates an immediate market
for the Liberty Loan Bonds. Another
issue will be offered to the people the
announcement of which will be made
by Secretary of the Treauury Nc
Adoo in due course. The oversub-
scription of the first issue is an indi-
cation of which may be expected for
the second issue, which it is hoped
will meet with larger number Of
subscribers and great sum subscrib-
ed.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S WAR
MESSAGE ANNOTATED

The war message of President Will
son. delivered before the two houses Of
Congress on April 2, 1917, with ammo
tations giving the leading facts on
which the rupture With Germany was
developed, the issues in international
law, and contrasting the spirit OF
Prussianism and Americanism, has
been published by the Committee on
Public Information in Washington.
1t is a document of great value and
of great interest to Americans and
especially to purchasers of Liberty
Loan Bonds who are financing the
Government in maintaining those
things which this message shows to
be right and just and in fighting to
the end against those things which it
denounces.
The message is accompanied by a
foreword which gives the reasons for
the publication and expresses the hope
that it may make clearer the spirit
and the facts back of the decision
made by the Government and people
of America.
The annotationsFto the message are
valuable in giving fuller details Of
matters and things which were only
briefly referred to in the document 1t,
self. Facts and figures are set Out
in detail and constitute Illuminating
commentary on this one of the great.
est public documents in the history Of
the world.
Americanism and Prussianism are
contrasted by comparing the following
expressions Of national ideals:
1.-THE foundations of our nationa
policy will be laid in the pure anc
| immutable principles of private NOR
atty. There exists in the course Of
nature an indissoluble union between
virtue and happiness, between duty
and advantage, between honest poll
cy and public felicity, and the propi
tious smiles of heaven can never bt
expected on a union or government
that disregards the eternal rules Of
order and right, which heaven itsel1
has ordained.-George Washington''

National Food Dictator

er the world, and open new mines, ana
make a fortune" His simple Quaker
parents regarded him as being too
worldly in his aspirations. and looked
askant at his ambitions and plans.
A Mining Engineer.
He entered Leland Stanford Uni
versity the possessor Of a very lin
tied bank roll. Regardless of the fact
that he had to give up two days of the
week to his work he succeeded in
passing his examinations "cum laude",
and graduated as a mining engineer.
After serving one year in the pc
illogical survey, he took his young
bride and went to Western Australia
on a mining expedition. His work
there attracted attention and he was
appointed as chief engineer of the
Chinese Exploration Company, and
was busily engaged in opening mines
in China at the beginning of the Box
er revolution. So successfully did he
manage the affairs of the company
that the Chinese Government appoint
ed him as chief engineer of the I'm
perial Bureau of Mines. While in
China he supervised the erection of
the Chang Wong long docks.
His success in China attracted the
attention of the great mining company
of Berwick, Morney & Company Of
England, who employed him at a
large salary to supervise their min
ing interests in China and Australia.
He did his work so we'll that they de-
cided that they needed his services in
London as consulting engineer, and
took him into partnership. He is now
director in more than so successful
and paying mines, located in every
continent upon the globe. He has
more than $4,000 employees, and an
output of $1OO,OOO,OOO of ore yearly.
A remarkable rise in % years, from
laundryman to one of the principal
mining directors of the world.
A complete plan by which house
wives can reduce food consumption in
their homes will shortly be sent out.

RESIDENT FOREIGN
ERS BUY BONDS

1t was not American citizens alone
who subscribed to Liberty Loan Bonds.
A great number of citizens of other
nations living here, who have never
taken out naturalization papers, sub
scribed literally to the bonds. The
international Nickel Company at its
Bayonnc plant has nearly two thou.
sand foreigners in it's employ and
those foreigners purchased more than
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars of Liberty Loan Bonds.
1t has been noted, too, that Amer
lean cities with large populations of
foreign birth were notably liberal in
their subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan.
Now that our soldiers are actually
in France, and our people familiar as
never before with the details of Gov
eminent bond issues, the next issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds will receive un-
doubtedly an even more enthusiastic
support than it's predecessor.

more people. Americas next issue
of Liberty Loan Bonds, which will
later be offered for sale, it is be-
lieved will be subscribed for by a
greater number than subscribed to
England's last loan. Thrift and
American patriotism will accomplish
this result--thrift because the people
have been awakened to its necessity,
and patriotism because it has been
aroused to a higher measure by the
fact that our soldiers soon will be
fighting on the battle front in Eu-
rope.

THRIFT IN BOND BUYING

In an address before the New York
State Bankers Association it was
stated that England's first war loan
of one billion and three-quarters was
subscribed by one hundred thousand
subscribers. To her last great Vic
tory Loan of five billion dollars in
1917 there were eight million sub
scribcrs. What, it was asked, was it
that caused this tremendous increase
in national interest, this wonderful
financial support from every part Of
the nation in the prosecution of the
war? 1t was thrift, the habit of saw
ing and investing; habit formed by
whole people working with one def
rite in view.
Americas first war loan was much
larger than England's first loan and
was subscribed to by great many

Who is Hoover? Who is the man in
whose hands such unlimited power has
been placed? Is he capable, will he
wisely administer his dictatorship, so
as best to conserve our supplies OF
food. and assure the people provi-
sions at reasonable prices, and yet
works no injustice to the farmer and
producer? What manner of man is
he?
Herbert Hoover is AZ years young.
| say young advsedly, because he is
the Youngest looking man for his age
in America. He has boyish looking
face. until you look m his eyes, then
YOU know that you are dealing with a
man. He has broad shoulders, which
he carries very erectly, and moves
with the certainty of a pendulum.
There is no lost motion in his car
riage. He acts with as much preci-
sion as if he were geared to a ma
chine. His clean-shaven round face
and strictly business-cut clothes make
him look like an American drummer.
There is one big difference between the
two. Hoover lacks the drummer S
conciliating smile and his ready fund
of anecdote. Hoover doesn't talk. He
may have a tongue, but you will know
him for some time before you find it
out. He will let you do the talking,
and you won't talk comfortably either,
while he is looking at you, as his
piercing black eyes look right through
you. You feel as if he were reading
your very soul. His big, broad Shout
ders and massive chin impress you
that you are in the presence of vi
rile man, a masterful man, man
with whom you can take no liberties
and on whom you can practice no de-
ception.
As barefooted boy in Iowa, he de-
termined to make his mark in the
world and become a famous mining
engineer. In this, he was influenced
by the stories published about that
time Of the remarkable successes OF
John Hays Hammond. He is quoted
as saying: 81 determined to be like
him, and take wonderful trips all ov,

RAILWAY FARES LOW THEN
In Enqiand6p During 1867 Rates Were
nc the Minimum Because OF
Competition.

In calculating the recent big In
crease In railway fares, the powers
that be unfortunately took the present
day ordinary rates, remarks London
Tit-Bits. Travellers would have been
better pleased had they taken as q
basis the fares In vogue sixty years
ago. Competition then reacted most
benefcially for the traveller. During
the winter of 1856-57 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
hing, the distance being 76 miles. and
during the same period the ordinary
return fare between York and London.
S77 miles, was 3s Cd.
A year later there was q competitive
effort to capture the Manchester pas
senger traffic, with the result that the
double journey Of 367 miles cost but
i've shillings. After that the compa'
mics became more commercial and less
philanthropic.

torpedo that goes through the ocean
Just few feet below the surface.
Masters Of merchantmen can escape
torpedoes If they are seen soon
enough to change their course. SPEED
and a quick answer to the helm are
necessary for the successful subma-
rine dodger. Constant lookout must
be maintained for the submarines.
Submarines have greater speed than
the average freighters. That is why
the latter are so easily Overhauled
and attacked by the deck guns with
which the larger U-boats are equipped.

When the Lusitania was torpedoed,
just off of the Old Head of Kinsale,
on the south coast of Ireland, on May
Z, 1915, this is what was observed by
one of the passengers, j. III. Brooks
of Bridgeport, Conn.,, when inter
viewed by the London correspondent
of the World two days later:
"At about ten o'clock, ships time,
the fog lifted and our speed increased
to about seventeen knots. At two
o'clock I finished light lunch and
passed up ON the boat deck and up
the little stairway which leads to the
hurricane deck.
"As I reached the corner of the
Marconi house looked out over the
sea. It was calm as a lake and the

wake of a torpedo coming toward US
and then the torpedo itself. 1t was
