An English critic says that the ath-
letic girl has no manners and has other
faults. But after the brilliant show
ing of little Baltimore girl lately In
rescuing several children single-hand-
ed from burning house. rescue
made possible by her practice at ath-
ietic exercises, the lack of polish more
or less can be easily forgotten. Man
ners can always be acquired. but it
demands very quick action and ability
to save lives. The mistake Of such
critics is to lay the blame on athletics
when that blame Is due to entirely diff
ferent causes. The old idea that gem
tleness went with weakness and wom-
aniiness with timidity Is now exploded.

surprise.
"You-you," she murmured breath

slim hand crept up and pressed tight
over her mouth.
Just then there was a swift step on
the gravel drive and they turned on
the intruder quickly.
"Hellol That you. Sis" he asked
eagerly. Then he reached out and
caught her about the shoulders. hug

Taxi down the road-what do you say
to walking down with me?"
So Enderly sauntered along with
them, listening to their chatter. The
boy was full of his job and his rising
success, but the girl was silent for the
most part. She couldn't rub out the
feel of Enderly's kisses long enough to
concentrate on anything her laxative

The Fourth Liberty Loan

quent issue would bear higher tate
of interest. There were more than
seventeen million subscribers
1t will be observed that the first
was oversubscribed by nearly So
per cent, the second by nearly "a
per cent, and the third by only 80
per cent. If the oversubscriptions
this fall do not surpass the highest
of those figures, they will surely not
fall below the lowest.
The number of individual sub
scribers is also an important con-
sideration. In the first loan there
was, roughly speaking, one subscrib-
er in every twenty-five of the pop
ulation. In the second there was
one in every ten. In the third
there was one in every six That
increase in the number of subscribers
was perhaps the most gratifying
feature of the series, and we must
hope that ii will be continued in the
fourth loan. Such should surely be
the case If tie loan is issued as was
the third, through general appeal
to the whole people.
1t is true that the people have
already subscribed eight billions in
the former loans, and that six billions
is an enormous sum to ask. But
the people have shown an increasing
confidence in the Government and
it's prosecution of the war, and the
things which are now happening
both here and over There are gem
orally calculated to increase that
confidence still further. Every SOL
dier who has gone abroad is con-
vincing argument for subscribing
freely to the loan. And besides
this is very prosperous country.

BULGARIA'S PLEA

r T Bulgaria is sincerely desirous
of peace she can have it. But it
will be peace on Allied terms. So
far as the United States is concerned,
we have never officially declared war
on Bulgaria. nor Bulgaria on us.
We are in the position of fighting
Germany and Austria, but not her
allies. However, our sympathies are
all against them and the surrender
of Bulgaria would bring peace much
nearer, because separate peace with
Bulgaria would unquestionably take
Turkey out Of the war in a short
time and would encourage Austria to
break the yoke Germany now has
about her neck.
Slowly but surely the iron ring is
tightening about the two central
powers. American men and Amer
lean dollars are the two biggest fac
tors in the developments in Europe
looking toward permanent peace.
The men are responding to the call
to the colors by the million. We who
stay at home must provide the dol
Liberty Bonds-and
we must buy twice as many bonds
this time as we did last campaign.

White House Dictatorship
[From the Philadelphia Press1

FROM tHe IHlladelpnla PreSS
President Wilson has now entered
upon the second chapter of campaign
activity, that of demanding the cleo
ton of Democrats to Congress. The
first chapter was the demand for the
nomination of certain Democrats for
the Senate and the House. and the
defeat of other Democrats. That
WAS the direct interference of the
White House in the affairs of the
PARTY ir power, the public commands
of the President as leader of the
DeInocfatic party. Bad as such ac-
tion was in principle and unfair as
1t was in practice, it was a matter
that concerned the Democratic party
alone. II was a question for democ-
racy itself to decide whether leader
ship should be dictatorship as we'll
But in his new chapter of action,
the President takes a step that is of
concern to the whole nation, without
regard to party. He now attempts
to dictate what men different states
shall send to the Senate. His first
stand on this question he takes in
Kentucky, where there is no ques-
ton as to the robust Americanism
and fine standing of the Republican
nominee for the Senate. He does not
raise the loyalty issue, therefore, but
alone the partisan one. He desires
the election of the Democratic nom
inee, because sit is of the utmost
consequence that the administration
should have the direct and unfiag-
ging assistance of its real friends at
this time"
Such a phrase is certainly a poor
reward to give to the Republican
party in Congress that has stood by
the administration in it's crucial war
measures, when its own party re-
fused to do its part and would have
defeated them had it not been for
Republican effort and leadership.
The record of Congress since the war
began convicts Mr.. Wilson squarely
when he gives utterance' to such a
sentiment. All of the help that has
come to him from Republicans he
scorns and ignores. while he uses his
Presidential Office to make partisan
anpeal for the election of Democrats
VIII the country approve such ac-
ton? Is there not the feeling OF
fair play that will resent such White
House interference. especially on
grounds that will not bear the light
of scrutiny? When President Will
son declared that politics is ad-
journed" what did he mean? What
more could he do for partisan ends
than he is doing. what more could he
do for the election. of a Democratic
Congress than he very evidently in
tends to do?

NO TALK OF PEACE

tFrom the Stars and Stripes in
American doughboys charge a

open field.
Some fall, but the others press
forward. They come to their OBJ
jective at the point of the bayonet,
only to find the beaten Hun, with
uplifted hands, crying "Kamerad; :"
but with a gun or knife concealed,
ready to violate his plea of sur

This is the true Hun spirit, the
spirit back of the Kaiser and his
court. With the power of the Of
fensive passing from him, he is now
merely waiting for another chance
to lift his hands with the cry OF
"Kamerad" or Peace"
Peace-with part of the loot still
in his possession! Peace-with only
a thought of German gain or Ger
man victory through craft or deceit!
Peace-with the hidden knife ready
for it's sudden and treacherous
thrust!
Peace! In the A. E. F. there will
be no thought of peace, no whisper
of peace, no dream of peace until
the Hun is beaten to the dust.
The fighting lines sweeping their
way forward through machine gun
fire are not talking of peace.
The fighting lines and the work
ers through the S. o. S. are not
thinking of peace. Their single
thought and dream is Victory. They
see ahead. through the battle
smoke, only a savage enemy to hu-
manity whipped until he is ready to
quit and take up his share of the
work for civilization.
Let the weak hearted, who are
dreaming of a compromise
Let the pacifists. who are talking
of peace by agreement
Let the side-liners, who have had
enough of war
Let the secretly inclined pro-Ger-
mans who think this great tragedy
should end without a decision
Let them one and all know once
and for all that for the A.. e. F.
there is no such word as peace with
the Hun unbeaten. The man who
talks of peace to-day, except
through victory, is a traitor. He is
only fit to face the firing squad.

IF HE CAME NOW

BY Mary Carolyn Davies
If he came now!
My heart would be like a once quiet
street,
Hung with gay lanterns on a fete
night, wild
With singing! And my heart would
be a child
Sleepily waking to a kiss, then
flinging ...
Sleep from it, springing
With all too ready feet,
Out of the night, into the world
again,
And finding that its toys were all
once more
There where it left them, waiting
on the floor
To be played with again. My heart
would be
An opened book filed full with
witchery, ~
Filled, too, with pain.
An opened book that had been left
too long
Upon a dusty shelf. 1t would be a
song
In a young mouth. And it would be
buds, too,
Opening under the moon, and shfv-
ering at the dew,
But liking it. And it would be a
flame,
Red in the night. I used to be glad
when he came,
But not so very glad-because l
thought
That l would always have him. Then
war caught
Him up from me, and bore him out
TO be where danger is; and killed
my doubt,
NV hesitation and half fears. All,
how
I would run to welcome him, if he
came now!
