THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

| Apropos of the Fourth Liberty Loan
the Government is already beginning
to sell Treasury Certificates. Pre-
ceding each Liberty Loan the Govern
ment sells either to the banks and fl
nancial institutions or to individuals
what is known as Treasury Certifi-
Gates. These certificates carry a
higher rate of interest than the COM
ing Liberty Loan bonds and are re-
deemable with bonds when the bonds
are issued. The idea is to anticipate
the sale of the Liberty Loan by collect
| ing on the Loan in advance. 1t is
generally conceded that the next Lib
erty Loan will be for six billion dol
lars. The Government has placed on
sale Treasury Certificates redeemable
when the Bonds of the next Liberty
Loan are issued and is pushing the
sale of these Certificates thru the
banks and financial institutions. Any
one having cash on hand at the pres
ent time can purchase these certifi-
Gates and hold them until the next
issue of Bonds and they will be re-
deemed with those bonds. The certi-
ficates of Indebtedness carry four and
one-half per cent interest while the
Bonds will carry four and one-fourth
per cent.
The Government has asked the
banks to take two and one-half per
cent OF their gross deposits in Urea
sury Certificates every two weeks or
five per cent a month or twenty per
cent for the four months that will in
tervene between the issuance of the
Certificates and the issuance of the
Bonds. The banks receive these Ger

has gone forth that the free exchange

department to know what another in
the same line of work is doing. The
only way he can do this is through
his exchanges.
We are forced to chuckle a little
when thinking of the consistency of
the proposition. II the government
wants to save paper and tighten the
mails, we are willing that few hun
dred tons of printed matter now be-
ing loaded in the mails at Washing

CLASS / MEN SUFFICIENT

In his report on the operation
of the selective service act, Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder
indicates that it may be possible
to meet our military needs with
out going below Class 1. At least
that is the hope and purpose of
the government. But additional
legislation will be necessary, and
the exigencies Of the war may
call for larger forces than have
been planned for thus far.
Since the last registration 700,-
900 young men have reached the
age of twenty-one years, and
these will be added to Glass !.
Some of them are technical stu
dents, and it is important that
they should complete their train
ing for skilled war work. But
the vast bulk of the young men
are better fitted for fighting than
the older men in the deferred
classes, and would enter the army
with the least disturbance of ex-
listing industrial and family rela-
tons.

Senator O. 81. Griggs who is
with the Red Cross in France
writes to friends and among other
things says as follows:
"The word militarized is not
really understood in America.
When you are prohibited from
serving butter and sugar in any
form in your hotels; when you
have to give a good and sufficient
reason for travelling before you
can buy a railroad ticket, in adj
dition to zone permits; when you

ian clothes as you would stare at
q giraffe walking down your
streets; when meals can only be
served at certain periods; when
the movies are nailed up tight;
when the city lights go out halt
on hour after dusk to save few
pounds Of coal; when you see
last years growth of branches
trimmed for fuel; when you can
see two canteens within a stone s

when three troop trains pass to

THE WORST KIND

1t is hard to conceive OF moro
contemplate coward than the
near traitor and seditionist who
makes every effort by word and
deed to discourage patriotism OF
the militant sort. He cunningly
hovers just beyond the border Of
sedition, and in many cases defies
the law. When the patience Of
the loyalists is thus tried to the
breaking point, and drastic action
is taken by the citizens them
selves, he is the first to emit o
squeal Of mortal terror, and rush
to the protection Of the very law
that he has openly scorned and
defed.
The Bulletin does not advocate
mob law in any way, shape or
manner, but the ever increasing
number Of cases daily noted
where it is used on prof Germans
of all degrees of disloyalty should
at least indicate to the near-trsi-
tor that he is surely and certainly
bringing the day of reckoning
nearer every hour that he persists
upon his despicable course. Tho
time to "get right" is NOW, and
in manner that will leave no
doubt of sincerity. Noses are
sure to be counted in every COM
munity.
The certainty that loyalty and
disloyalty cannot exist together,
ought to be apparent to anyone.
The American people are patient
| to the last degree. If they had
not been, our country would have
been in the fight two and a half
years sooner. 1t is therefore, well
to take note of the trend Of
events and not presume that
| American patriotism can be in-
suited with impunity to any
length.

MADE I'm GERMANY

The American bOlShevlk1 say
American labor should join in
conference with German dele
gates.
They say we should do this so
as to make it plain to the Ger.
mans that we cannot make peace
until their autocracy is over-
thrown.
There are a number OF things
to be said against that kind OF .
proposition.
First of all, it is disgusting and
sickening.
Second, we have an army In
France that is conveying our mes
sage to the Germans every day.
Third, no German delegation
could come out of Germany un-
less it represented the kaiser and
none could get back and live
without serving the kaiser In ac-
cordance with directions.
Fourth, the talk it over"
method has been tried and proved
the most abject failure.
Fifth, this is a democracy and
we function as a people through
duly authorized channels in re-
Spouse to the will Of majority
of our people as expressed at the
ballot box and it is not the pro-
vince of any part of our people
to go into consultation with Ger
many concerning peace or any
thing else without a mandate to
do so from a majority of our peo-
pie properly and regularly ex-
pressed.
For these and q great many
other reasons we are not on
speaking terms with Germany
just now, and when we say Ger
many let it be clear that we In
clude all of the German people
who are supporting or tolerating
Prussian autocracy. Let us have
