San Francisco Woman Gave Country Three
 SOIdiers--On Lost
 With TOrpedOed Transport.
TWO SONS SENT TO FRENCH FRONT

Mrs. Louise Moore of 139 First ave nue. San Francisco. knows the mean. ing of war. In the front window of her home 8 service flag shows three stars. Three of her sons answered the call to colors.
 And when the Tuscania was torpe- doed, with the loss of more than one hundred American lives, her eldest son, William Moore, made the great sacrifice for his country. On the rocky coast of Ireland he lies buried in the grave which enfolds others of his con- rades in arms.
 The other two sons of Mrs. Moore, who were also on the Tuscania, are listed among those saved. The joy over their safety has been tempered only by the grief which followed the word of Williams passing.
 'I told those boys I was sorry that there was occasion to go to war" said Mrs. Moore, smiling through the an guish that was her portion in the days following the Tuscania disaster. But I told them also," she added with a triumphant smile, that if our country was worth living in and enjoying when things were going along smoothly, it was certainly worth fighting for when 1t was in trouble"
 That is the spirit of American motherhood in these days of trial and sacrifice. Our country has not asked OP ffc Donr1o in ha of sacrifice" said Mrs. Moore. Things have been fairly easy for most of the boys and girls of this generation. Now dt Is their time to show how they have appreciated all that has been given to them"
 Mrs. Moore has two other sons, one of draft age, and the other old enough to enlist but not old enough to be drafted.
 Now they're crazy to go," said the brave little mother whose service flag already has one haloed star.
 Do you know the last thing the three boys did before they left?" she asked with motherly pride. They all bought Liberty Bonds, and said they would leave the rest of that work to us. Now we know what we can do"
 Private William Moore and his brothers have left message for the stay-at-homes in America to heed The rest of you buy Liberty Bonds that can be your work"
 Have you planned to buy your next one. now that the Third Iibertv Loan is called for?

Will You Be Ready For
 Inspection?

The boys at the front now are oc cupying trenches. Some are in the first line trenches, dispatches tell us
 You at home are in the back line trench.
 The fellows in the front line trenches must stand inspection regu. larly.
 You in the back line trench, too, must stand inspection. Will you be ready?
 Remember, those brave lads across the sea are depending upon you to stand by them. Everything they have came from the fighters in the back line trench-the big trench right here in America.
 Perhaps you don't realize the great responsibility resting with you. It is just as great as that shouldered by the brave fellow across the sea.
 Be a real soldier in the back line trench, so you can stand inspection.
 Be good soldier in the home trench-Buy Liberty Bonds.
 The wars success or failure, so far as Uncle Sam is concerned, depends on what you do or don't do.
 Save food, help the Red Cross, buy Liberty Bonds.
 Just look yourself over. Take al in- ventOry of your bank account. Gaze over your record and see if yoIl've done your duty as a back trench sol dier since Uncle Sam entered the war
 If you can afford to buy Liberty Bonds, and don't, then you are aid ing the Kaiser.
 Are you that kind of back trench fighter?

AMERICAN BLOOD
 VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
 By Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LEIsH TAT

There are some tremendous lessons to be learned from the present status of the world strife.
 One of the most momentous of them all is a lesson to America and Amer icans-a lesson to you and me-a personal lesson which we shall do well to accept in it's fullest, personal application. It is the lesson of IN DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war.
 The blood of American soldiers is wet upon the trenches, and the base hospitals are ministering to Ameri- can wounded. The shadow of the Death Angel, made in Germany" has fallen across your threshold and mine. It is no longer thing de tached and apart from us. We are in it. The blood of our sacrifice reeks upon the altar. It is now a per sonal affair.
 We-you and must back our boys in the trenches, or forever cease to claim rank and title as Americans. The time has come when there are but two classes in this country Americans, who are for the war in which our boys are pouring out their blood, and traitors, who are either against the war or indifferent toward it. And indifference is now, if any thing, more despicabIe than antago- nism.
 There is one thing, at least, that most of us can do to prove our aware ness of the situation and our loyalty to those who are fighting OUR battles over there; most of us can subscribe, in some degree, to the Third Liberty Loan.
 It is totally beside the issue t0 point out that these bonds are a good investment. The investment feature is not the thing in question. It may require some sacrifice to convert pres ent holdings into holding of Liberty Loan Bonds. But as far as we can manage it, you and I, if we accept the great lesson of the hour and take our part in the baptism of American blood which is for the cleansing of the na- tions and the rehabilitation of the world, we must "come across''-and come quickly and with thankfulness that it is given to us to do even so little

Where the Allied Loans
 Go

More people than you would believe are under the impression that the money which Uncle Sam Is lending to the Allies leaves America for ex. penditurs in Europe and other for eign countries.
 This is a mistaken idea.
 Virtually all of it is expended right here st home for American produced goods, munitions, and food stuffs.
 Since the declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917, Congress has authorized the lending of S7,OOO,. 00O,000 to the Allies, to be paid over before July 1, 1918. Up to November l, the Allies had received advances aggregating $3,691, 400, 900. They had expended in America for supplies $2,758, ,900,000, and had remaining to their credit in the United States treasury 8 balance of $932, ,5O0, 900.
 From April to November the Allies had been borrowing from Uncle Sam at the rate of approximately $5OO,O0O,- 900 a month.
 And they had been spending it with us almost as rapidly as they got it!
 Sc the money which you put into Liberty Bonds in the two preceding campaigns has been trickling back through channels of commerce in an uninterrupted stream. What the AL lies are not spending is being scat tered by Uncle Sam, who is con- fronted with the task of supplying and caring for a developing army of nearly 2,OOO,O0O men.
 And so it will continue as long as the war lasts. The men afield must be supplied with munitions, clothing and food. Every line of American endeavor will profit. The larger the bond sales, the greater the growth of the Allied armies and their require ments; the more tremendous the ex- penditures.
 Every dollar you put into Liberty Bonds is an added stimulus to Amer ican industry and American pros perity.
 Besides making more and more certain the defeat of the Kaiser's ambition to rule the world with his mailed fist.

'YOU MUST WORK
 8 HOURS EVERY
 DAY FOR BONDS''
Prominent Woman Worker Says American Women Must Quit Being
 Parasites

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip of New York City, treasurer of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, is urging upon the women of America definite and consistent war service. In a recent interview she said: American women must quit being parasites and learn to give instead of always taking An hour or two a few days a week is not enough for any woman to give her country. We must give a full business day, an S. hour day every day of the week if we are to count for anything while the war lasts"
 Mrs. Vanderlip outlined the splen- did work which has been done by the women of Great Britain and France and congratulated American women on having as their allies in their new work such women.
 eff we ever have another war, said Mrs Vanderlip, "women will be in the trenches. What do the pa cifists mean when they want us to stop before our present job is done?
 There is but one standard for measuring a woman in this new day of war. That is dependability. The woman who can be depended upon is the one we want The one who can not be counted upon is the one who will be dropped forever. A profes- sional spirit is the need of Ameri- can women, who have been parasitic for too long. We must stop taking and give. Eight hours a day is a short day for this great wOrK we have before us. Two or three hours a day to the Red Cross is not enough for any woman to give as her war work.
 We must get as our personal point of view the realization that we can not have our cake and eat it too. We must ask ourselves, in this war of equipment rather than men, who must 20 without if we have the things we have been accustomed to. Business and pleasure cannot go on as usual if we are successfully to conduct this tremendous new business of war.
 "We have forgotten, when we are buying new clothes and eating the wheat and sweets that we want and riding in our motor cars, that we are hampering the Government. We are standing in the way of the Govern ment's business which is war.
 When you want to spend dollar for candy or unnecessary clothes (and we buy more clothes than we need because of pride) count that dollar as a traitor dollar. If you save that dollar and invest it with the Govern ment you are serving the Government doubly, for you are aiding in fnanc- ing the war and you are releasing the labor and materials needed for the unnecessaries which you have de handed formerly.
 We are fighting an enemy that is far from beaten. It has won every thing it started out after. It's dream of Mittel Europa is realized now. Only a military victory can save de- mocracy. We must sacrifice ourselves as we have sacrificed our men folks We must learn to hate that we may effectively kill the evil thing that is running not only the bodies but the souls of it's people and threatens the est of the world"
