THE BOYS AZ The FP0NT
WATCHING LIBERTY LOAN
~ Lieut.. George savage, Fighting
Priest OF the French Army, Who
Fought In the Trenches More
Than Three Years.

France did not want war. She did
everything that she could in honor do
to prevent war, but war was forced up
on her by Germany.
For four years France has waged
this war with her whole soul and now
America has come into the struggle
with all her power In man and mate
rial resources.
We are now sure that we can win
this war. We have for the last few
months witnessed the turning Of the
tide in favor of the allies, but we
should not, however, be led away by
our recent successes.
Let the people at home understand.
. that they, as well as the men on the
fighting line, have to take their share
in the struggle. This war Is not war
Of soldiers alone, 1t IN war of ma
lions. The front is not "oyer there"
only, it is everywhere.
The men over there are doing their
share. They are giving their lives
Let the people at home understand that
the only business today is to win the
war.
Let nobody be deceived as to the dur
alton of the war, or conclude from our
recent successes that the end Is near.
We shall win. We are at turning
point. But the end is yet far away.
It Is my conviction-and all soldiers
who have been two or three, years at
the front, win tell you the same thing.
that this war may last two or three
years more. Woe to us. II, by false
optimism or weakness in our determi-
nation, we should come to slacken In
our efforts. Our mistakes should have
to be corrected with the blood Of our
boys.
u The boys at the front are watching
this Liberty loan. They shall Judge
by the amount subscribed Of the inter-
est the people at home, in the state,
in the county, or town are taking In
their efforts and In their sacrifices.
They know that when the order comes
to attack it is their duty to 60 and to
give their lives If necessary, and they
are willing to do it. But they feel, too,
8 that when the call comes from the
president to the people at home to give
the money necessary for the prosecu-
ton of the war, 1t Is the duty Of every
one to give all that he can and that the
people at home should be willing to
do it. It is their share-and how
small when compared to that of the
fighting MANN the struggle.
Let the men at the front know and
feel that the people at home are heart
and soul with them In this war; that
the people at home are ready to make
every effort and every sacrifice as long
as viii be necessary to win that COM
plete and decisive victory which shall
secure for all nations freedom and
lasting peace.

SET PACE FOR YOUR NElcHsoR,

Don't wait to see how much your
neighbor is going to subscribe to the
Fighting Loan, but buy bonds to the ut
most limit of your ability and set
the pace for him. A loan quickly over
subscribed will have wonderful ef-
feet In stimulating the morale OF the
allied countries and allied armies,
while the reverse will be the effect In
Germany, whose people at last are be-
ing told that United States Is fighting
them to the extent of its tremendous
resources.

WHOLE NATION At WAR;

BY c. n. Martin, Major Gen. y.

Grant, illinois

The Fourth Liberty Loan
should again forcibly remind
everybody that the whole nation
is in the war, and not merely
the men In uniform.
We are teammates In a
mighty game; a game which
has been developing for CEN
turtles. The contending teams
are JAutocracy and Democracy,
and life is the stake for which
they are playing. We are now
at the very climax OF that age
long struggle.
Your part on the team re-
auires devotion and disinter-
ested forgctfulness of self as
complete and unflagging as you
expect from the men in uni
form. No one can do his duty on
any team who measures his
duty by any other standard than
his entire abilities. 1t cannot be
measured by comparisons with
the performances Of others.
Do not think that the front, !.
only, is the war; the front Is.
part OF the team. like to think
that 1t is u part Of sufficient I'm
portance to engage your en- i
thusiastic interest and support.
The anxiety with which you
wait for good news from the
front is Of the same variety ms
that which the front waits for
good news from the back. Any !
( especially good plays on any
part Of the team strengthens the
heart Of every member Of the
team.
1t is your play now; oversub-
scribe this loan cheerfully and
with enthusiasm.

Not much has been said about com pensaton the

might unfair insist that Germany should
pay all allied neutral ships sunk by her U-boats
some Of them no doubt have sunk accord with
international law. But the number Of such victims IS
extremely small compared with those without any
grounds of Justification whatever Legally. any honest
the world would give judgment against Ger
many in the vast majority Of cases making her liable

this legitimate claim against Germany is not

fringement principles hitherto acknowledged Ger
many herself and definite treaties signed by Germany,
there is degree culpabili which not

To the horror with which the world regards
these unprecedented crimes is condemnation
the motives prompting them. 1t is secret
in Germany that the unrestricted submarine warfare
has side than that Of military usefulness-an
economic side. Germany determined to sink every
thing" not merely to keep enemies from getting
food supplis-a purpose proper if legiti-
matey pursued-but also destroy alien shipping for
her own commercial advantage. While she has been
destroying the ships her business rivals including
friendly nations she has been building ships her

This fact only adds TO determination Of the ma

Much is being done, but more remains to do.
The latest city to grow heated the subject is
Cleveland The Cleveland Congress of Mothers recently

sensus opinion was that girls not able to
