Our Flag

At the exercises at Buiord, on. the
occasion of the late Red Cross drive,
Coy Dangler, n l5-year old eighth
grader in the Bnford school, contrib
uted the following:
have here. Our Flag, Old Glory,
which stands for democracy and JUS
tice. This is merely piece Of cloth,
but just think how much it stands
for. The nation and flag our boys
over In France are fighting aud dying
for. The flag our grandfathers fought
for to save its honor. The boys In
France alone cannot save this flag.
One and all OF us will have to fight
for 1t. not in the battle field. but with
War Stamps and Liberty Bonds. II
you cannot buy Liberty Bond, buy
War Stamps. Any man, woman or
child can buy War Stamps because
they are only quarter apiece.
But now in this present war that
Uucle Sam is in they do three times
rs much good rs their value. You
men take that quarter that you were
going to buy a cigar with and buy a
War Stamp. You children do with
out a little Of your favOrite candy and
buy War Stamps, and you women
put the face powder on thinner and
you also can help your country by
buying War Stamps. Giving up that
much pleasure wouldn't hurt you
any, but stop and think how much
good 1t would do our boys in France.
The sooner you buy your Liberty
Bond and War Stamps, the sooner
this war will end. Now, In this great
spring drive, Uncle Sam will need
millions Of dollars. Has the United
States treasury enough money to
carry out our present war plans? No!
That's what these War Stamps and
Liberty Bonds are for. To raise
enough money to carry out our war
plans. TO raise this money quick
enough, we will have to get busy and
not go to sleep like Russia did. What
happened with Russia because she
went to sleep in war time? She was
nabbed by the Kaiser. Russia is
awake now, but It's too late. Now,
80 our men will do. their best and not
back out like the Slsvs did, they will
need good equipment-that means
good clothes, guns and ammunition-
and TO be good fighters, they will
have to have good food. Food will
win this war. And In order for them
to have the proper food we, the peo-
pie Of the United States, must live up
to the Food administration. Don't
be = Stacker. show your patriotism
by following out the Presidents plans
for the people ut home. Always your
last dollar and your last breath for
your country.

COUNT MINOTTO HELD AS FOE
Son-in-Law of Louis Swift, Chicago
Packer, Arrested on Warrant Is
sued by the President.

Chicago, May 14.-Count James Mi
MOTTO, son-in-law Of Louis Swift, was
taken into custody on Monday by Unit
ed States marshals at the Swift resi-
dence at Lake Forest. 1t is believed
they were acting on telegraphic orders
from Washington
The arrest was pending the arrival
Of a presidential warrant for intern
ment.
The count Immediately sought his
freedom on writ Of habeas corpus
before Judge George Carpenter in fed
eral court and was released on $780,
900 bonds signed by Mr.. Swift and his
attorney, Henry Veeder
Judge Carpenter issued no writ, but
announced that he would hear the APP
plication at length May 20 at 10 a. N.
Count Minotto was arrested last
November, accused of being too
friendly with Germany. He was held
for deportation to Italy. He was
given several hearings by the depart
ment of immigration, which finally
found that Minotto was not an Ital-
ian subject and was therefore not
subject to deportation. The depart
ment referred his case to the depart
ment Of justice.

PREMIER LLOYD-GEORGE
INDICATED BY COMMONS
Votes Against Inquiry of Charges
Made by General Mausice-Vote
Was 293 to 1906.

London May 1O.-Ex-Premier AS
quith's motion for the appointment Of
a select committee to investigate the
charges made by General Maurice
against Premier Lloyd George was re-
jected in the house of commons on
Thursday by vote of 293 to 100. Sir
Edward Carson, leader of the Irish
unionists, appealed to Mr.. Asquith not
to proceed with his motion. Sir Ed
ward said that if the veracity of the
ministers was not believed in the house
there was not longer any possibility OF
! carrying on the government.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that if the
motion was carried Mr.. Asquith would
again be responsible for the conduct
of the war.
Premier Lloyd George was cheered
loudly when he arose to speak. He said
he had been treated unfairly. 1t was
the business of General Maurice to
come to the cabinet and point out
where the ministers had made mis-
takes, he declared.
Denying that the strength of the
DlltIoIl uSutluS IOIC0S lltlu UccIl Ills
represented as stated by General Maui
rice, Mr.. Lloyd George asserted the fig
ures which he had given were taken
from official records at the war office.
Since that time he had made inquiries
on this point, he added, and the figures
were not inaccurate.
In regard to the comparison between
the enemy and the allied forces, the
premier added, he was charged with
misleading the public, but all the fig
ures on which his statement was based
came from General Maurice's depart
ment.
The premier declared such contro-
versies as the present one were dis
tracing and paralyzing.
Il beg that they may come to an
end" he added. National unity and
the army are threatened. The Ger
mans are preparing the biggest blow
of the war; and beg and implore that
there shall be an end to this sniping."

Bloomington Record: The Liberty
Bond campaign just closed proved that
the men who had charged the farmers
with being disloyal because of their
failure to respond to the first two bond
campaigns did not know what they
were talking about. In the first place,
two years of poor crops throughout the
middle west had LETT the farmers in no
shape to buy many bonds before, and
in the second place, the soliciting or
CARNATIONS were not nearly as we'll de
veloped in the rural districts as in the
cities until the present campaign. This
time there was thorough organization
among the farmers, and they RESPONDED
nobly.

Bloomington Record: We imagine
almost every American citizen rejoiced
at President Wilson's decision, an
nounced Saturday, to commute the
death sentence imposed on four of our
soldiers in France for falling asleep
while on sentry duty coupled months
ago. Two of the four must serve three
years in federal prison, while the other
two, were given full pardons. 1t is very
serious indeed for sentry to fall asleep
but there were undoubtedly extenuating
in these cases and every
one will rejoice that the president has
tempered justice with mercy.
