THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty
loan begins September 20 and closes
October 10. While the amount has not
yet been announced, it is generally con-
ceded it will be for larger amount
than any Of the preceding loans. The
American people, therefore, are called
upon to raise large sum of money in
a shorter length Of time than ever be-
fore. There is need, therefore, for
prompt action-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal subscrip-
lions.
We have a great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the battle
front inspires every American heart, not
only with pride and patriotism, but
with a great incentive to do his or her
pant. There is no Sinking, no shifting
of the individual burden, no sclashncss
by American soldiers in France; there
should be none here. We are both sup
porting the same country and the same
causc-our army in one way, ourselves
il another. Theirs is the harder part,
but at least we can do our part as
promptly and loyalty and efficiently as
they 10 theirs.

LABOR DECISION BASIS
Ruling on Wheeling Dispute to Affect
Three Hundred

New York, Sept 19.-The general
application of the principle of basic
eight-hour day by the War Labor
board in settling all future working
hour disputes, was forecasted here

the board, in announcing the decision
of Chief Justice Walter Clark of North
Carolina, umpire appointed by the
board to settle working dispute be-
tween the Molders' union and the
Wheeling Molder and Foundry COM

work more than eight hours a day
"only when an emergency exists"
According to Mr. Walsh there are
300 cases pending which will be af-
fected by the precedent.

SUBMARINE ONLY NUISANCE
SENATOR THOMPSON RETURNS
FROM TRIP ABROAD.
Kansas Scion Says British Grand
Fleet Is About Eight Miles
in Length.

Washington, Sept. 19.-While still
an annoyance and hindrance, the
submarine is no longer a serious
menace, the senate was told by Sena-
tor Thompson of Kansas, recently re-
turned from trip abroad. There,
the senator said, is positive knowledge
that one-half of Germany's submarine
feet, which has never been more than
$50 boats, has been destroyed or
captured by the Allies.
1T is to the navy that this credit
for the destruction of these outlaw
seagoing craft is DUE" declared he.
"The navy Is and has been the back.
bone Of this war, the same as 1t has
been of almost every great war in
history. The destroyer is the ship
which has brought Germany to her
knees in submarine warfare and will
keep her here"
Ships are now operating across the
English channel with about the same
ease and security as before the war,
Senator Thompson said. He suggested
that the menace on the Atlantic would
be lessened by placing German prison
ers on returning transports.
Senator Thompson told of visiting
the British grand fleet.
Sailing single file," he said, with
out counting the numerous destroyers,
submarines, submarine chasers and
other smaller craft it is said to be
about 80 miles in length and requires
NJ
in review. With such fleet no one
ever need worry about the German
navy doing any great damage"

Washington, Sept. 19.-Application
for another ten per cent increase in
express rates has been made by the
American Railway Express company
to Director General McAdoo who now

The consolidated express company
specifically asks to apply a fiat in

advance first class rates about 1e
cents and second class rates II cents
100 pounds.
The new scales would add to the

Bemidji Sentinel: Pete Vasaly, OF

cuss. On a recent trip to Bemidji, Wy

name in some sixteen of the best coun-

Brother Mitchell, we don't know as
we could possibly spend a more pleas
ant time anywhere, than in visiting our
brethren of the press. Editors general
ly are big, broad fellows, intellectually,
and so darn different than the general

sphere.
At Staples Brother Featherstone was

overdue subscription. Missing Editor
Allen at Verndale, we espied the figure
Of Editor Verify at Wadena, who re-

and who was located in front Of a gas

giving one in trouble advice secured
from a ponderous volume of Black
stone, and fully obvious Of the fact,
that he had read the law correctly.
Struck Park Rapids at the wrong time
to see Ward and Harradon.
Arriving in Bemidji, there was the
lengthy Denu loading up on gas, that
is for his fivver, for the morrow s
spin. Later on we espied Editor
Mitchell of the Sentinel in his sanctum
in full Home Guard regalia, waiting
the approach Of the midnight hour,
a rough house a few miles out Of Be-
midi.
On our return we found Preston Of
LaPorte trying to extract some infor-
nation and comfort out of the order of
the government in relation to the con-
duct of newspapers.
At Walker Brother Oliver was wrest-
ling with the intricasics of new type
setting machine and wondering if the
carburetor working the same as on an
automobile. Trecking to the Pilot office,
we were grieved to find the bright edi-
tress, Louise Dare, at home disposing
Of the vegetables she had received Oh
subscription.
We wound up our pleasant visits with
editors after we struck Pine River,
where we chatted with Editor Dahl and
Andy Rood, former publisher Of the
Sentinel. Editor Dahl, who runs four
papers, said that the task showed en-
terprise. Our opinion was that it
showed a darn lot of nerve as we'll.
From Pine River we went to Pillager
and then took fine road through Nor
rion county connecting with the Jeffer-
son Highway. We refuse to go into
the merits or dement's Of the Jefferson
and Scenic highways lest we arouse
the ire Of Brothers Kelly, Dahl and
Dare, but we might say that they are
both excellent, the Jefferson needing a
little touching up, and the Scenic quite
a little more, to make the round trip

The New York Times was the one
great paper in this country to suggest
that the Austrian request for peace
conference be given serious considera-
ton. The Times is so peculiarly the or
gan Of Wall Street that there is pc
culiar significance in it's statement. Gan
it be possible that certain interests are
just finding out that the American peo-
pie mean business; that war involv-
ing tremendous sacrifice of men and
treasure is being entered into because
America is true to it's traditions, its
history and it's ideals, and that when
the American people say the world must
be made safe for democracy, they mean
it, and that meaning it, they will in
sist on it. Is it fear on the part Of
certain people that if the war continues
the people will be less likely than ever
to return to the pre-war status, and that
there will be in our own land richer
and better conception, springing from
the blood and sacrifice Of our brave
boys, Of what democracy ought to be-!
Can it be that these premomitions dis
turb the people to whom the Times has
