A rough estimate early last evening showed that the citizens of our fair city had over-sub- scribed our supposed allotment of S30000. by over half that amount Everybody about the streets was excited and exclamations of 'Is it possible" or Good" and other expressions of surprise mingled with admiration and satisfac- tion.

It must be that everr- body did their bit, which can be said to be cocu- sive evidence of our solidity to stand behind President Wilson.

From the very beginning of the war, Amer ica has wished to hold the German people guilt less of compcity in the crimes of the German empire. Even President Wilson has repeatedly emphasized that this country entertains no en- mitv. no ill-feeling toward the German people.
