denburg bodily declared that Germany
must have peace at once on the best
terms she could get. He said the
armies no longer had the necessary
munitions and materials to continue the
struggle, nor was there any source Of
supply SO far as he was aware.
In the light Of this situation the field
marshal said he felt the time had come
to try first for itn armistice and then
for peace and he urged that this could
be put in the light Of a concession to
the demands OF the socialists and pa
cifists in Germany SF
Hindenburg Plan Offered
Prince Maximilian, the chancellor, is
reported to have strongly opposed such
a course; but imperial approval was
given Won Mndenburg's plans and the
request for peace followed.
No indication has been given as to
when replies will be made by Presi-
dent Wilson to the Austrian and Tur-
kish appeals for peace 1t is under
stood that there is NO ground for the
apprehension which has arisen in Aus
tria that the president would refuse
te reply to Premier Enfianss appeal
because OF the autocratic character Of
the Austrian government. ut was said
that this might well figure In final
peace proposal, but would not operate
to prevent the consideration OF an ar
mistice which Austria seeks.
The same is true OF the Turkish APP
peal.
The feeling is apparent in Washing
ton that the atmosphere is clearer than

with his peace drive; that the purpose
Of the United States and that the pow
ers in Berlin and the German people

And when the Tuscania was torp~

hundred American lives. her eldest

sacrifice for his country. On the rocky
coast Of Ireland he lies buried in the
grave which enfolds others OF his com.

The other two sons of Mrs. Moore,
who were also on the Tuscania, ara

over their safety has been tempered
only By the grief which followed the

Where the Allied Loana
Go

More people than you would believe
are under the impression that the
money which Uncle Sam is lending
60 the Allies leaves America for en-
penditure In Europe and other foa
eiGn countries.
This Is a mistaken idea.
Virtually all Of 1t is expended righa
Asre AZ home for American produoA
goods, munitions, and food stuffs.
Since the declaration Of war agalns
Germany ON April s, 1917, Congree4
has authorised the lending Of $7,oool
900. 900 10 the Allies. to be paid eye@
before July /. 1918. Up to Novembc@
1, the Allies had received advanced
agyregating $S.691. 100000. They hAN
expended in America for supplied
11,769, 900. 900, and had remaining tS
their credit In the United Statst
treasury o balance of 1892, SOC, 900.
From April to November the Allio
had been borrowing from Uncle Sand
a4 the rate Of approximately $500. 200.
900 a month
And they had been spending Il wftM
nm almost as rapidly as they got It I
SO the money which you put into
Liberty Bonds in the two preceding
campaigns has been trickling baoA
through channels OF commerce in AM
uninterrupted stream. What the ALI
Hes are not spending Is being scat
tered by Uncle Sam. who Is conf
tronted with the task of supplying
and caring for q developing army o4
nearly 100000 men.
And so it will continue as long Cd
the war lasts. The men aleld muSq
be supplied with munitions, clothing
and food Every line Of Americas
endeavor will profit. The larger th@
bond sales, the greater the growth oA
the Allied armies and their require.
ments; the more tremendous the ex@
penditures.
Every dollar you put into Nbert5
Bonds is an added stimulus to Amer~
lean industry and American pros,

Besides making more and more
certain the defeat of the KaiseTA

A A~LCCA w 0O ACNCANOO AONOAAN
ly by the officers of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank at Dallas
that made a deep impression on
all who read it. We quote it
in full:
"Your circular, The Victory
of the Ages has just reached
me today, and assure you I
endorse it with all my heart.
am widow Of a soldier, also
mother of one-and / have
but one son. He enlisted in the
u. S. N. last May. / gave my
son to America and / am proud
of him. He was my all. l am
sixty-four years old. l did not
have enough money last Octo-
Der to buy even a $4,000 Lib
erty Bond, but l want one. My
son was on the sea at that time
and could not send me any
money until he reached his des-
tination, but l have saved five
and ten cents till l can now
get one.
What would you advise
wait till the next Loan is placed
before the people? | believe
that will be April the 9Th.
Kindly advise me.
II am with you for victory
or death. Oh, how l wish was
a boy just like mine, so / could
do more to help win the war"
On receipt of the letter Mrs.
LeBow was requested to write
again, and, in her own way, tell
just why everyone should buy
Liberty Bonds. Her reply to
this request is also quoted:
"Why should all people be
glad to subscribe to these Lib
erty Bonds 2?
Because it takes money as
well as men to win this war.
We have the men, let's have
the money. This is our part
the part for us who stay at
home in ease and comfort. 1t
Is also the very least part that
we can take, to loan to Uncle
Sam our money, when he pays
us lack with interest. Our
sons have said 50 gladly,
Here am I, send me, Uncle
Sam, some are now this min
ute in the trenches facing shot
and shell, and shall we who
have no hardships to endure, be
less patriotic than they, who
give their lives if need be, for
our homes and country? Let
us give as cheerfully of our
money as they have of their
lives and hopes for the future.
For they are young men, they
have laid their all on their
country's altar. Let us not hes
itate to pledge our last dollar,
and more, If Uncle Sam calls
again. I do not think that the
American people will be found
wanting, and May the God who
rules over the destinies of ma
tions make us strong to lift
high the Star Spangled Banner.
and never let the old flag fall,
at home or abroad, and, like
Patrick Henry said, Give me
liberty or give me DEATH Then,
and only then, will we win this
dreadful war;"
Is there one among us who
can not Or will not catch the
spirit of this dear old Spartan
mother?
She responds in spirit and in
reality, to the call of country
and humanity. She gives her
all, husband, son, and carefully
boarded scanty savings, 50 that
the world may be made a safe
place to live in"
What a demonstration of pa-
triotism, sacrifice, and whole
hearted cooperation is present
ed in the viewpoint of this
aged mother!
With the same spirit having
possession of all our hearts and
minds, it can easily be seen
why the Third Liberty Loan
will be subscribed with a rush.
and Uncle Sam will have the
benefit of our efforts toward
maintaining our nations share
of the worlds fight for a last
ing peace, a peace not dictated
by German force and brutality.
