HELPLESS CHINA A LESSON
Contribute to Success Of Third
Liberty Loan.

Within the last few months the ter
rible bubonfc plague has been sweep
ing over western China. Starting in
Mongolia, it crossed the great wall and,
with appalling speed, invaded province
after province. And China-great,
helpless China-is unable to care for
its unfortunate people. Missionaries
and the Rockefeller institute have been
doing much to alleviate suffering, but
their efforts have been little enough to
stem the tide of the dread disease.
China lacks the organization and the
Initiative to do much more than bow
before the inevitable.
There is a lesson for America at
this time in the conditions in China"
said United States army medical of
fcer a few days ago. THE United
States is at war. Food, guns, clothing
are needed for the soldiers, and ships
are necessary to carry them to the bat
tlefields in Europe. To conduct this
enormous business Of war, money is
needed-billions in money. If the ma
ton does not show initiative and or
ganiZation, if every individual and
every community are not closely knit
to every other individual and every
other community and interest by
common impulse, a common purpose to
defeat the enemy, America will fail in
this war as surely as China has failed
in her hopeless battle against the bu-
bonic plague.
every man, woman and child should
contribute to the limit toward the sue
cess of the thirG Liberty loan. There
must be no sectional feeling, no racial
litical ambitions, no community inter-
ests or Individual schemes to stand in
the way. If this nation Of more than
q hundred million souls stands together
as one, the government at Washington
viii be provided with the money with
which to finance ourselves and cur al
lies in this war against a selfish and
aurocratic power that plots our politi-
cal and commercial ruin as it plotted
and accomplished the ruin Of Belgium
and Serbia and northern France.
"A4 prominent politician orce pro-
tested against the 'Chinafying Of the
United States Let the United States
prove to itself and to the common foe
that there is nothing Of China's help
lessness in US. 1t can do so by acting
Of world war for democracy"

Rose ALWAYS PopuIar

It is doubtful if there is any other
flower so widely spread over the globe
so universally represented among the
races Of men in all times as the rose
Before the Christian era men chose
the finest Of the species and improved
them insofar as possible. And it was
during the invasion of the barbarians
from the north German countries dur
ing the dark ages that the culture of
the rose was driven into the more pro-
tected places, like the converts and
the larger castles.-St. Louis Republic
