THE LIBERTY LOAN

WEES the old Liberty Bell rang

other day it at the same mo-
nent tolled the requiem of Kaiser
ism in the world.
The success of the Liberty Loan
by vast oversubscription will be re-
ceived with gloom in Berlin. 1t
spells absolute defeat for Germany.
1t is guarantee of victory for
America. 1t means money in unlim-
tied quantities for swift prosecution
o. the war. 1t means the building
Of merchant ships more rapidly than
German submarines can sink them.
1t means the construction of a vast
fleet of U-boat destroyers. 1t means
fleet OF aeroplanes over the western
front as numerous as homing swal-
lows at sunset. 1t means vast. we'll
armed, well-supported American
army in France.
But, better than all that, it means
that the great American people have
volunteered to see this war through.
They are back of the President and
back of the army and they will re-
main back of them until despotism
shall be spurned beneath the heel of
democracy and the world made a
safe place for free peoples.
The news is that Washington is
greatly EeJOlCeu. anu "Sll IL may
be. If we knew the truth in Berlin
it would be that the imperial govern
ment is much depressed. The en-.
peror and his fellow plotters for
world dominion have deluded them
selves with the notion that America
would not fight, that our people are
divided, that this is Wilson's war"
and that the public is not back of
the Presidents In reply, the great
voice of the American people swells
forth in a chorus that echoes around
the world I'VE are with you, Mr..
and here are a few extra
billions as a guarantee of good faith.
When you have spent that, ask for
more"
The first fight for democracy is
over, and honors are with America.

BRTSIIOFF As CHIEE

a trifiing notice in the news

But it may have more bearing on the
Russian situation than anything

was the announcement that General
Brusiloff has accepted appointment
as commander-in-chief of the Rus

his post as sectional commander

THANKS TO THE PRESS

T HE percentage of opposition 20
registration preliminary to the
draft was surprisingly small. 1t
was hardly larger. in proportion,
than the number of lickers who may
be found in any town when anything
Affirmative is proposed.
The support which the press of
the country has afforded to the con-
scription plan from its inception and
the amount of free advertising which
newspapers have given to everything
connected with the movement are the
chief factors--next to the essential
patriotism of the country--in making
the registration successful and un-
eventful.
By this alone the press has earned
its exemption from censorship.

GIBBoNs AND AMERICA

"HE New York Times discusses
the immense service Cardinal
Gibbons rendered the nation
when he won his fight against the
Europeanizing of the Catholic Church
in America. The plan which the
cardinal successfully opposed. after a
long and bitter fight, was to have all
European immigrants maintain their
church connections in Europe through
what amounted to branch churches
ir this country, that their native
tongues be used in the church and
that their home ties remain un-
broken. The cardinal saw that this
would mean disaster to the United
States and would buiid up a vast
number of what amounted to small
European colonies in this country.
In his protest to this blow at Ameri-
canization he said:
Woe to him, my brethren, who
blessed harmony that reigns
among us! Woe. to him. who
America! Woe to him who would
breed dissensions among the lead
ers OF Israel by introducing
spirit OF nationslism into the
camps of the Lord! Brothers we
are and brothers we shall remain.
God and our country" This be
our watchword. Next to love of
God should be love of country.
Let us glory in the title of Ameri-
can citizen. To one country we
owe allegiance. and that country
is America. We must be in har-
mony with its political institu-
tions. 1t matters not whether this
is the land of our birth or adop-
tion, 1t is the land of our des-
tiny,
With the nation facing such a
crisis as now confronts it it is not
difficult to see in what sore straits
we would have been had our vast
foreign population been divided up
into sectional, factional and national
units. Cardinal Gibobns robbed the
Kaiser of his power in America when
he killed the Cahensly movement.

THE following are a few extracts
from an editorial under this
heading in Pictorial Review for

from an editorial under this
heading in Pictorial Review for
July:
"Fanatical patriotism is a pitfall
that American women would do well
to guard against. In the first six
months of the European war, when
women rushed in, infant mortality
jumped in six months to the high
est rate in years, and a well-known
writer said, Unless drastic steps are
taken to remedy this evil, posterity
will have harsh things to say of a
generation that allowed it's women
to do mems work to the neglect of
duties which nature and the nations
interest called upon them to per-
form.
From such experiences as these
American women can learn valuable
lessons. and they must not be stam-
peded by a false sense of patriotism
and shrill cries of impending disas-
ter. The first call on woman is for
woman's work, and in doing war
service she should neither attempt to
do what men can do better. nor neg
lect the work that none but women
can do. 1t is for every woman to
realize that she has some definite
national duty to perform, and to
consider, with intelligence and de-
liberation. what that duty is.
Almost simultaneously with the
call to serve came the command to
conserve-a command that every
woman, no matter what her station
or her limitations, can obey. The
problem of the nations food supply
is a vital one. and the woman who
helps to solve it is serving her coun-
try we'll. Women know the cost of
bringing lives into the world, and
they know the effect of the shortage
of the food supply on the health of
their children, therefore, however
much they may be interested in ter
ritoriality or sovereignty, to them
the economic aspects of the war
loom large. The home, and all that
goes with It. calls for the first and
best attention of our women, and
patriotism may be expressed by the
use of the diet that is best adapted
to produce healthy Americans"
Never before, perhaps, in the
history of the world, has nation
so definitely recognized its children
as one of it's most valued and cher
ished assets. The children of Amer
