scented by President Wilson Feb. 18th.
l. The impartial justice melted out

Of any single nation or any group Of
nations can be made the basis Of any
part Of the settlement which is not
consistent with the common interests
of all.

be no special, selfish, economic COM

LIBERTY LOAN A TEST
Of AMERICAN SINCERITY
A Test Of Real Sacrifice to "Do With
out" So That Money May
Do Its Bit.
BY COL. S. sURKHARpr, JR.,
commandant Fourteenth Division,

BY COL. $. BOhkf1AhOts JH.,
commandant Fourteenth Division,
Camp Custer, Michigan
On the battlefields of France and
Italy and Belgium there are more than
million and half of American sol
diers, who are watching with great in
terest the results Of the fourth Lib
erty Loan. They will insist upon
knowing whether the men and women
safe at home are freely defeating
their dollars to THE cause of Liberty,
or whether they feel they have per-
formed their duty. when they have
noted the days gains made by the
American army.
The fourth Liberty Loan will be
further test of the sincerity of the
American people in their belief In the
principles of democracy. 1t will test
the willingness of the American people
to really sacrifice-to "do without"
that their money may be loaned to
our government to be used for the
unceasing and relentless battering
down of the German defenses.
The huge sum asked for in the
4
/! fourth loan should merely strengthen
our determination to provide any
amount the government wants. To
fall short of the full amount would be
1 a national disgrace and comfort to
the kaiser. There can be no excuse
for failure, for never has our coun-
/ try been enriched by such crops OF
wheat and oats and corn and every
I product of the soil. Never has the
wage of the great army of Industrial
workers been so high.
\ Tt is the duty Of every able-bodief
man and woman to find some way Of
buying twice as many bonds as evel
before The men in uniform are fight
ing and suffering for those who sta!
at home. They will buy their full
share of bonds as well, as they hav'
! in the past. Your part is to be witt
them with your hearts and your soul
and your money.

initial Step to Independence.
The fact that well-to-do people are
almost invariably "close" and Saving"
and usually have that reputation,
should be mighty good pointer for
those who are always hard up. It
isn't luck, 1t isn't robbery that starts
young people on the road to independ-
ence. It is common sense and moral
courage to deny themselves that does
the business.
