THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

| Remarkable results attended the
sale of the First and Second Liberty
Bonds on the partial payment plan in
augurated by Morgan G. Bulkeley,
President of the Aetna Life Insurance
Company, of Hartford, Conn.
In approaching the Third Liberty
Loan those interested in financing the
war win find in these results conyinc-
ing proof of the wisdom of the partial
payment plan. Governor Bulkeley
wisely put out 20-payment plan,
rather than one calling for shorter
term. His argument being, "When
you do anything for anybody do not
make it hard for him to accept, but
make it easy"
The figures given below do not in
clude the subscription made by the
Aetna Life Insurance Company, but
only those amounts sold on the partial
payment plan to factories and en-
ployees. Newspaper advertising was
used to bring the offer made by Gov
ernor Bulkeley before the people Of
the State, and the results Of each cam
paign testify, not only TO the wisdom
of the plan, but to the efficacy of news
paper advertising in selling the bonds.
So many people throughout Con
necticut bought bonds under Governor
Bulkeley's offer that the company en-
ploys a,permanent force Of twelve
clerks and has opened a special Office
to handle Liberty Loan business.
To the First Loan l2,474 subscribers
took 81 ,530,800 of the bonds; of those
subscribing, 1866 cancelled the can
collation. amounting to S15G,050 In
the Second Loan 1881 subscribers
bought 2,063,0 Of the bonds, and Of
these only 70l cancelled, the amount
of the cancellation being the insignif-
icant sum Of $4,000.
The results Of the partial payment
sales Of the First and Second Bonds
total 30,105 subscribers; $3,593 $50 in
bonds bought; Of these 1861 have can
celled, the cancellations amounting TO
but $205,950
These remarkable figures should
build up an enthusiastic desire TO in
crease the sale Of bonds on the partial
payment plan during the forthcoming
campaign.

GEN. PERsHING'S ADVICE TO
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE, WARN
ING THE AGAINST SPIES

The American Red Cross has made
public the following
lie Figaro Paris under date Of
January %, says
In an order Of the day, recently ad-
dressed to his troops, Gen. Pershing
made the following recommendations
which are so excellent that we deem it
advisable to approve them with all our
hearts:
Never forget that we are at war
and that the enemy are on the watch
Always be restricted in your inter
course with families, and never speak
conhdentially with woman, because
women are the most cunning of spies
and you may bestow your confidence
upon one in the employ Of the enemy.
Never trust anyone who asks ques-
tions Of a military character or who
seems to be much interested in ques-
tions of such nature, even though
such person appears TO be an Amer
ican officer.
ANY man. woman, or child, or even
a man wearing the uniform of an
American, or in the Uniform of sol
der Of the allies armies, can be a spy.
I'm fact, say nothing that you would
not wish to reach the ears Of the en-
emy. And for this same reason never
enter into any correspondence with an
unknown person, for this is one of the
chief means used by the enemy to pro-
cure information.
"ln the streets and in public places
do not fail to remember that the very
walls have ears. Therefore do not ex-
press your opinion upon any military
question or even on the war in general
Don't give the impression of pes
simistic view of the situation either
by word or action, and always have
confidence in the success Of our ARMY
and Of our cause.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1918-03-14

A good friend of the Standard, who
frequently favors this paper in letter
form with his views upon public ques-
tons, expresses the opinion that there
is lot of hot air patriotism abroad in
the land, and cites cases which he
has observed of parties with evidence
of very little Of the martial spirit but
who are most vociferous in exhorting
their fcllowmen to patriotic service
and sacrifice.
The Standards correspondent, above
referred to, is not of course, the only
one who has taken note of the hot air
patriot, and it is unfortunate that
there should have been, and continue
to be, so many of this class of patriots
in evidence throughout the country. 1t
tends among the unthinking and su-
perfcial to breed cynical attitude
and discourage individual activity and
zeal in connection with the various
causes which call for the merit sup
port in a successful prosecution of the
war.
But the hot air patriot we have al
ways with us--in war as in peace. OF
such is the fag-fying householder,
who has stocked his larder with a
years supply of flour or sugar and
continues his usual consumption of
those things that the people are asked
to conserve. In this class is the news
paper that sings the praises of its own
community on the result of some war
work drive and sneers ct the showing
of a neighbor Here also is the apos-
tie of drastic regulation as long as it
does not affect him, or his business or
his profits, and here also is the labor
leader; loud in protestations Of loyalty,
but unwilling to forego to use of the
strike to advance his class interests.
A few hot-air patriots walk the halls
of Congress, and few occupy depart
ment positions, long on words but
short on supplies and results.
But this surface patriotism, which
crops out in every community, is easily
recognized and discounted There is
no mistaking it for the genuine patri-
otism which actuates and inspires the
great mass of American men and
women to sacrifice and service, per-
formed without ostentation or display,
with no thought Of gain or profit or of
other reward than the consciousness
of duty Loyalty and patrioticalIy per
formed.
And it is going to take this kind Of
patriotism in full measure, with a.
complete elimination of the hot-air
TO overcome the Hun.-Enos-
burg Standard.
