READY TO FIGHT AUSTRIA,

This government has approved the attitude of the Czech -S!eVaks in Aus tria who are opposing the treatment which is being given them by the dua monarchy and there seems to be nc reason why it should not adopt the resolution which has been intro6uce6 C in the senate to permit them to par ticjpate in the war as part of the American forces.
 According to the resolution present ed by Senator Hitchcock it is plannei to raise one or more units and after they have been given the necessary training to allow them to go forwarf with the other American troops fel the purpose of fighting for thei1 adopted country and at the same timt deliver a blow against the nation which are endeavoring to crush theii former fellow countrymen. Naturall' they have a double reason for takins up arms even as their brothers ant cousins in Austria have for going eyel to Italy to beat Austria and Germany Oppression has been the cause of thii and they are realizing that now ii Alie tlA1c tU aidhE OiL tL6 AHtOlEFdUH yoke.
 How great the number is that car be obtained in this country for sucl unit can hardly be told. It is claim ed that there are 100000 among tn Poles and Slavs who have pledgst their participation in such an army Many of the former have already en listed and are in training or hav been sent to Europe. Certainly 300 900 would make a fine addition to tn army of this country, but whethe 3o0,o0o or 30.e00 enlistments amoni such people can be secured it is a tim | when excellent use can be made 0 such assistance. Because they ma, be Austrians under a technical rulin1 does not mean that they are not q l thoroughly opposed to that countr and it's methods as any of the allie 1 countries.

It is also declared that our shipping has not increased to the point where we have all the vessels that are need ed to take care of the transportation of this commodity from Cuba and it is of course known that millions of pounds were lost when two of the ships bringing sugar to this country were torpedoed off the coast by the submarines.
 In order to make up for the defi- ciencies it is therefore proposed to reduce the amount which the unes- sential manufacturers use and to be- gin early in the homes to make saw ing that the supply will be sufficient to go through the year without caus- ing any hardships. Where the many help great results can be secured and in the appeal which is made to the individuals to use but three pounds a month there is the opportunity for each and everyone to do his part and start doing it before shortage is created which makes it obligatory.

CHANGE FOR YOUR SAVINGS TO
 HELP.

The appeal which is this week be- ing made to the people of this vicin- ity for the purchase or pledge to pur- chase war savings stamps is of the same character and along the same lines as that which has been made several times in behalf of the Liberty bonds. It differs from the latter only in the fact that there are great many more who can participate in it than there were who could purchase Liberty bonds. It is in fact an ap- peal which should receive considera- ton from each and every individual.
 By the purchase of these small government pledges the opportunity is offered to the person of small means to save that he may contrib ute to the maintenance of the Ameri- can forces, that he may have hand in furnishing the supplies and the am munition, that he may aid in giving the government the funds to build ships and big guns or in fact so swell the treasury of the United States that 1t will not be necessary to secure the two billion which is the goal aimed at in another way such as a bond issue or by taxation.
 There can be no one who is not anxious to do his part. There is no one who ought not to save. and while thrift is desirable at all times there vas never a time when 1t was more important for everyone to lend a hand. And it is the war savings plan which will permit those of small means to do their part in this great work. It should be recognized also that the greater the help that is given the quicker the war can be brought to a successful conclusion.

MIST SAVE SUGAR.

It was anticipated following the harvesting of the sugar crop that there would be no such sugar short age this year as was experienced last year. but the call which has been sent forth and the announcement which has been made to the effect that the supply for the less essential goods will be reduced to b0 per cent. of the nor mai demands makes it evident thai there is need for much economy ir this direction if the needs of the households and manufacturers whe use sugar are going to be met.
 It does not appear that the sugar crop has been a failure. but it is claimed that once more we have goi to let up on our consumption in order to help out France. which country hal suffered the loss of much of its susal beettland and must be taken care of
