to mankind, while Lincoln made
it his creed of emancipation for
all color and all clime-so, too,
Wilson fights for democracy as
a right of the whole world.
''The promise of Wilson to
make the world safe for democ-
racy' is no, threat to make the
world take democracy. 1t is but
the assurance of the effort to
give to the world it's chance to
take democracy. This war of
America is the announcement
that we. by our entrance into
the conflict, will prevent any
despot depriving any people from
exercising their free will in re-
jecting despotism and choosing
democracy.
The United States does not
fight to force any government to
adopt the theory of our govern
ment, nor does the United States
fight to force any foreign people
to take our form of government
against any form of government
they may choose for themselves.
But America does fight to pre-
vent any foreign government
thwarting any land from enjoy
ing democracy if it so wills by
the voice of it's own people. And
this United States fights now
and will ever fight to the eX-
penditure of it's last dollar and
the sacrifice of every son, rather
than submit to any monarch
wrestling our democracy from US,
to the death of our liberty, and
the end of our Republic. SEN

SHALL We SEE IT
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding 1t
necessary to cal! upon us three
times within a year to provide
by subscriptions to Liberty
Loans, sums of money hitherto
considered of fabulous proper
tions. These facts should inn
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense serious
ness, the stern necessities, of
the situation.
Continued acquaintance with
the more serious aspects Of life
is apt to breed indifference, and
to distort our mental vision. AS
the soldier shudders with hor-
ror at his first sight of carnage,
but later becomes hardened, so
are we apt to become compla.
cent under conditions which
call actually for increasingly
strenuous effort. ..f
The Liberty Loan with its
original accompaniments of nov-
city and noise appealed to our
rational love Of new sensa-
ton. In the Third Campaign
much of the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose
behind the campaign will have
grown. Our money was need
ed when both the First and Sec
ond Liberty Loans were float
ed, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has
grown, our national payroll has
crown, the needs of our allies
have grown, the necessity of
forever banishing the unspeak-
able menace of Prussianism has
grown. No longer can we hope
that the entrance of this Coun-
try into the struggle will in
duce an early peace. More ar
rogant, more desperate than
ever the German Government
,uts forward it's impossible
nlaims upon the rights and life
of humanity.
Our Government in its grow.
ing need is calling upon US to
give up our luxuries, Is con-
scripting the lives of our sons,
is controlling trade, labor, and
nrices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and firmness Of
purpose.
The test of our personal
strength of character and de-
termination is at hand. Your
Government pleads with you
very earnestly to preach and
practice 10th before and during
the next Liberty Loan Cam
paign a steadfastness of pur-
pose, an unselfish patriotism,
which shall reflect the spirit of a
man who having set his hand to
the execution Of a necessary
| task would rather lose that
hand than draw it back. This
| is the spirit of our President,
of our Allies-it is surely our
own.

RUSSIA BETRAYED

BY the ratification of the peace
treaty with Germany. March
14th, the Bolsheviki party has
delivered Russia into the hands
of her greatest enemy.
Through the terms of the peace
treaty, German militarism takes
from the Russian government
thousands of square miles of land
and millions of inhabitants con-
tanned in the former imperial
territories of Finland, Poland,
Courland, Lethuania, Esthonia,
Livonia and Ukraine in Europe,
and Batoum, Kars and Erivania
in the Caucasus.
Besides this great loss of ter,
ritory. the Russian army must
demobolize, the Russian fleet is
interned and what is left of Rus
sia and it's people must agree to
favorable trade relations with
Germany and her allies.
In fat, everything that should
have been held sacred for the
Russian people has been deliber-
ately given over to Germany by
a band of so-called socialists,
who have robbed their own
country and delivered their peo-
pie into the power of the great
est enemy and barbarian that
the civilized world has ever
known-Kaiser Wilhelm.
The Russian people have gained
nothing by deposing Emperor
Nicholas. The great republic
they dreamed of has, vanished,
for they have placed themselves
under the yoke of the creates
curse humanity has ever known
German Kulture.
They must realize now the dis
honesty of the Germans, for
they find, that though they have
agreed to the most abject peace
terms, with the idea of permanent
peace with Germany and her al
lies, yet they see the German
hosts continuing the war of con-
quest in their country, day by
day. And Germany, now that
she has secured the signing OF
the peace pact by her friends,
the Bolsheviki. will continue war
on Russia until she has secured
every important city in that
unhappy country.

ARIZONA BOYS DO GOOD WORK

Last season the average Ari-
zona boy did so per cent more eff
fective labor in the fields, as a
member of the United States
BOYS Working Reserve, than dio
the average imported laborer.
And the boys were all the better
for the experience and the exer-
else. In addition, all of them
made money, for all of them re-
ceived liberal pay. Many of them
laid the foundations of bank ac-
counts that are bound to grow.
On top of this, the work is one of
pure patriotism. Every boy be-
tween sixteen and twenty-one is
asked to enlist in the Reserve at
once. to let the State Council of
Defense know what it can de-
pend upon this summer in the
way of agricultural help from
Arizona's energetic and loyal
lads.

VICTORY GARDENS HOW?

How about a community Vic
tory Garden for your block?
Or for your neighborhood?
Did you ever think how easy
it might be to get men and wo-
men, boys and girls, interested
in such a plan?
Why not try it?
If several families join forces
they can reduce the cost of gar
dening in time, labor, money and
water-use.
Families having adjoining gar.
dens can save on the purchase
of tools.
Money can also be saved in
buying seeds, fertilizers and in
secticides.
Community gardeners can hire
blowing and narrowing at slight
cost, whereas il might be en-
tirely impracticable in smaller
individual gardens.
And then there is the town
garden.
Did you know that up in Miami
they had gone in for a 100-acre
city farm?
This town can have a Victory
Garden, too.

MINERS LOOK FOR
OLD POSITIONS

A number of anthracite niue work.
ers have come back into the coal re-
gion asking for their old jobs. There
is no difficulty getting work in and
about the mines and anthracite opera
tons, for they have been greatly
short handed for months. These re-
turning mine workers seem to have
been drawn back to former surround
ings and occupations largely by the
belief they can be assured of steady
employment at good wages in the an
thracite region after the war ends.
Such explanation, the returning
men give. They say that munitions
work has been all right and the pay
big, but living costs in large cities
and new communities have become
much higher than what they had an
ticipated. The men also claim to
have missed familiar surroundings
and old friends and acquaintances.
One man, who gave up a good
steady job with the Hudson Coal Co
to work in a great steel plant, return
ed after a few weeks, giving as his
reason that the work was too danger
Gus, as the ineXperience of many
new hands subjected all employees to
! many hazards of death and accident
He wanted to get back to the mines
where it was safer, as he preferred to

Influenza Alarms
Anthracite Men

So alarming has the influenza sit
uation become in the anthracite field
the Anthracite Committee of the U.
S. Fuel Administration today notified
all producers in Luzerne county to keep
a careful daily report of the epidemic
conditions at all the colleries ir
the region. With production falling
off at the rate of 100000 to 1885,
600 tons monthly, the problem looms,
with a continued spread of the dis
ease how to meet coal obligations in
sections urgently in need of a con-
tinuous supply.
The loss of output is much greater
in the Sehuylkill and Lackawanna
hard coal fields than in Luzerne coun-
ty. New cases and many deaths are
being reported daily. Much of the
pep" is taken out of the mine-work-
ers and ambition to work is dulled
when some member of their family is
sick or a death has occurred. In many
cases, mine-workers refuse to work
entirely and put in their time merci-
fully tending to the wants of the sick
ones at home. This action on the
part of the men, while praiseworthy,
curtails output and is a condition
over which the anthracite industry
has no control.

THE FIRST DEMON
STRATION OF X-RAYS

-, The first demonstration of the re-
markable discovery popularity known
as X-Rays, was made by DR.. William
Conrad Rentgen, Dutch physicist,
% years ago todays Nov. 8, 1895. The
discovered did not announce his
method Of photographic the un-
seen" until the following December.
and the first full description was given
to the world through the Berlin Ply
steal Society early in 1896.
The discovery of X-Rays appealed
to the popular imagination as no
other scientific attainment had done
for many years, and the press of the
world devoted much space to the pos
sible uses of the Rontgen rays. The
emperor of Germany, the same kaiser
of the present day, called the dfscov-
erer to demonstrate his rays before
him, and permitted a "shadowgraph"
of the imperial arm to be taken. 1t is
well known, of course, that one of the
kaiser's arms is shorter than the
other.
Rontgen's discovery has been of
wonderful assistance to surgeons, and
never as much as during the present
war, where it has assisted in effect
ing thousands of cures and has as
sisted in restoring men who without
it might have been crippled for life
Besides this physicists in many coun-
tries are conducting experiments with
| X-Rays that promise to shed new
light upon the structure of atoms and
molecules.

Correspondence of The Associat-

establishment which is a sort of COM
posite of the busy activity of the Navy
Department at Washington and of one
of the big navy yards on the Ameri-
can seaboard.
Vice-Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff quartered in
one of the largest buildings of the city,
American bluejackets are on guard
at all the entrances, and steady files
of American naval officers and sail
ors crowd the corridors on their vari-
Gus duties.
The streets are filled with Ameri-
can sailors on liberty parties" Of
ten 5000 and 5000 in a single party.
And on the front there is the hustle
and activity of a huge navy yard,
with scores of American naval craft
and transport lying in the harbor, and
the shore alive with a vast naval in
stallation.
Besides the rush of the port itself
this is the naval administration cen
tire for 800 miles of the French coast

number of the chief ports into which
the masses of American men and ma

eighty ships-destroyers, repair ships
