Cross and other patriotic campaigns
to whom much credit is due for the
success of the undertakings.
A hundred thousand articles for tho
relief OF war sufferers have been sent
out by the Wayne county chapter OF
the Red Cross during the past year.
The women of the county have been
untiring in their work for the chapter
and the end of the first year OF the
county workshop shows that an army
of trained. industrious women has sue
ceeded the few who aided in its or
ganization.
In connection with the Red Cross
there was also a campaign In the in
terests of the Belgian relief. during
which thousands of garments were
contributed for the war refugees in
the occupied territory.
At the Red Cross membership drive
this year $4,000 members were OBJ
tanned, bringing the total membership
up to $4,000, of which half are from
Richmond. Workers at the Wayne
county headquarters in Richmond
range from 100 to 200 daily.

QUOTA
FOR RED CROSS
IS 243 NURSES
Five Thousand Nurses Need
ed at Once for Military Hos
pitals In France.

Two hundred and forty-three nurses
from Indiana are needed for army
service by June /, nurses attending
the state nurses meeting at Lafay-
cite were told by Miss Mary Roberts.
In charge of recruiting for Red Cross
nurses in the Lake district Five
thousand nurses are needed at once
for military hospitals, Miss hODci,s
stated, and an appeal is being made
to each state to send every trained
nurse available into service. She is
expected to speak mere.
Each city in Indiana has been ap-
pealed to for nurses, and Richmond
with other cities is asked to make it
possible for any nurses in the com
munity to enter war service. There
are present in the state 268 enrolled
nurses, of whom 10 are in active
service.
The war must be their first con-
sideration, the nurses were told at
the state meeting. Cooperation with
the government and the Red Cross
was urged. An effort is to be made
to keep up the training schools at the
hospitals in order that nurses may be
trained to step into thep laces of the
women who have gone to the front.
All throughout the war there has been
a great need of nurses, but now tho
need is even greater. and the prime
motive of the state nurses convention
was the launching of drive for
nurses for army service.
Miss Bertha King, who is secretary
OF the state association. and Miss
Emma Kemper, attended the meeting
from Richmond.

Why You Must Buy Liberty Bonds

War is glutton that lives on lives and riches.
There is no limit to the devouring greed of war.
AS long there is an unconquered life, or an UNI
devoured dollar war is hungry.
When war attacks a nation there is no choice
every able-boded man knows that he must
fight-now or later. Selective drafts may miss
a man here and there for few months, but if the
war goes on time comes when every man who
can walk and carry gun must go to the colors
and fight for the very life of his country. his
family, himself.
When war attacks nation there is no choice
every dollar is subject to the call of mobiliza-
ton. Some of the dollars escape for time and
stay in their safe investment places earning
profits for their owners. But if the war goes on
long enough, every dollar must come out and en-
list under the colors.
In time of war, when the very life and death
of nation is being decided on bloody fields, mon
ey has no choice between courage and cowardlce.
Every dollar must fight or be classed as traitor
and put in the outlaw list.
Remember these things The nation has a
right to take absolutely every dollar OF property
in the United States for the life and death war
against Tyranny, Autocracy, Slavery and For
eign Aggression and Vassalage. But the nation
does not intend to exercise that final and desper-
ate right No! The government says: The
nation is fighting for it's life. Lend us your mon
ey. We will give you Liberty Bonds, secured by
all the wealth and sovereign taxing power. bear
ing Az percent interest. and protected by good
sinking fund, with tax exemptions to make the
lean better. Avoid the extreme necessity. In
vest in all the Liberty Bonds you can."-Treas-

Kaiser in Losing Role,

The Germans were anxious to de-
feat France and England and destroy
Italy before America made up its
mind to enter the war. They then
proposed to demand from the United
States a crushing indemnity on the
ground that this country had not
been entirely and stricbly neutral
Any other claim that the Germans
might have made would have served
their purpose. 1t was race be.
tween the Germa war machine
and American public opinion and
American public opinion won and
put this country into the war. Ger
many had lost the first race.
The Germans massed all their re.
sources in the spring of 1918 and
tried to destroy the Allies on the
west front before the American
army could reach France. The
Americans got there. more than a
million of them, and helped in
sm ashing the Crown Prince at the
Marne. The Huns had lost the Sc
coni race
There has been another race. be.
tween the submarines and the ship
builders. Slowly the ship yards of
America have been gaining on the
tin fish" until the output of vessels
built is approximately equal to sub
marine sinkines The Germans are
losing that race also.
The German government is about
to raise another war loan. In
America the Fourth Liberty Loan
will start on September %. We
have to beat them with men, we
have to beat them with ship builders
and we are about to beat them in
raising money. Germany has en-
tered on another losing race for he
dollar of America will outrun the
mark of the Germans.
