CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

american wearing apparel is
gaining steadily in Argentina as the
result of the failing European sup
plies" declares the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. "This
is especially true of hosiery, which
before the war came almost entirely
from Germany" How freely they
now confess the real reason for our
great expansion in sales to Latin
America, and how utterly they de-
MED it few weeks before the 1916
election. Those were the days when
the Democratic National Committee
said our war export trade was due
to Democratic policies, and that the
sale of war goods accounted for but
per cent of the total. A party
that lied like that in 1916 is pretty
apt to lie again in the Congressional
campaign of 1918.

FOR JUSTICE WITHIN,

In a recent address at Washington
Bishop Charles Gore of Oxford, Eng
land, said:
1T is necessary that we crush Ger
many, but it is also necessary that
the allies convince the workers that
they are fighting not only for the
overthrow of their foes from without
but are as we'll fighting for liberty
and justice to all classes, creeds, and
colors within. If with the overthrow
of Germany this is not accomplished
the war will only have been partially
won. This is the thought I am try
ing to get into the minds of all the
people with whom I come in contact.
eve must have it thoroughly I'M
derstood that militarism is but nee
sity of the moment and in no sense
permanent institution. Democracy
under military system is an impos-
sibility.''

where in the world of the integrity
Of American rights, interests and
honor and the right of men to govern
themselves, are all assured with the
proper performance of the plainest
duty of the citizenry at home.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is our
next objective.
There is no geography, political Or
physical, in the patriotism of this
country. Democrats and Republicans
alike love their flag and are ready to
die for it. We continually insist for
all parties that the war be kept out
of partisan politics and that PARTISAN
ship be kept out of the war.
Just as in Congress the Republicans
led the fight that made possible the
passage of the great war measures,
so now the Party membership and Or
ganization has an immediate, definite
war task in the accomplishment of
which it can fully function I repeat,
let there be no contest in this country
as to anything that touches the war
except that contest-who best can
serve, who most can give.
The Success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan shall be the Republican partys
supreme motif of thought and action
until that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are together,
by two or two thousand, it shall be
a win-the-war meeting. Just as the
Republican party's every action at all
times has been and shall be de-
termined solely by how we can con-
tribute most to the wars success, so
now our every thought and action
shall be determined entirely by how
we can make certain the quick over
subscription of the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
This is united country's next
message to Germany.
The entire Republican organization
in every voting precinct in this coun-
try shall be a fighting force in this
Liberty Loan drive
This is the Republican organiza-
tons business.
This is the real business of every
man, woman and child in America.

GRASP THIS OPPORTUNITY.


The shortest road to a commission
in the army is through the student
army training corps in colleges and
universities.
Aside from this opportunity to Sc
cure a commission membership in
this corps, practically guarantees a
place in the army, whether as COM
mlssioned or non-commissioned Off
Ger, mechanic, or infantryman, in
which a man can render his largest
service to his country.
Men in Glass 1 may enter provided
they have not been selected for draft
before induction into this corps, and
those who have registered under the
new draft may be accepted before
they are actually classified in the
draft.
Youths or older men should send
in applications at once to the school
of their choice and take course in ag-
riculture, chemistry, commerce, engi-
neering, Journalism, law, letters, sci
ence, pharmacy, or any other course
taught. This is great opportunity.
The student, by voluntary induction,
becomes soldier in the United
States army, uniformed, subject to
military discipline and with the pay
of private $3.50 a month";. They
will simultaneously be placed on full
active duty, and contracts will he
made as soon as possible with the
colleges for the housing, subsistence
and instruction of the student SOL
diers.
Officers, uniforms, rifles and such
other equipment as may be available
will be furnished by the War Depart
ment, as previously announced.
The student-soldiers will be given
military instruction under officers of
the army and will be kept under OBJ
servation and test to determine their
qualifications as officer candidates,
and technical such as engineers,
chemists and doctors. After certain
period, the men will be selected &C.
cording to their performance, and as
signed to military duty.
Students enrolled in the S. A. T. c..
will not only be serving their country
in manner suggested by the federal
government, but they will be in a. posi-
ton to improve their condition for
future war or peace work and will
grow more and more efficient servants
Of the nations cause with each month
of college training.
AS any man who desires to join a
student Army Training Corps" may
select the university or college he pre-
fers we suggest that Minnesotans
have one of. the best institutions in
this country right at their door in the
University of Minnesota, where al
ready 5000 applications for admission
have been made and it is estimated
that the enrolment will reach 1000:

ONLY HALF ADJOURNED.

The Lewisburg (Pa.) Saturday
News very pertinently remarks that
the announcement that politics is
adjourned" has not been accompanied
by the appointment of Republican
to place in the cabinet, nor the ap.
pointment of Republicans to fill any
OF the Offices of customs collector,
etc. NO, and the administration has
not made full use of the abilities of
such men as Roosevelt and Wood.
Nor has it acknowledged it's obliga-
lions to- the late Augustus P. Gard
ner, one of the pioneers of prepared
ness. Perhaps politics is only half
adjourned.

SOUTHERN COLORED LEARNING
THRIFT.

At the meeting of American Bank
ers' Association at Chicago, r. S.
Hecht, vice-president of the Hibernia
Bank and Trust Co., New Orleans,
said:
"Never' in their history have the
colored people of the South been so
prosperous. The average earnings
of farm hands have been doubled,
while the pay of colored men in other
labor has increased still more. AS a
result, in the delta country of the
Mississippi, from Memphis to the
gulf, you will find thousands of COL
ored men driving their own automo-
biles, and not Fords either, for a
large part, but those of makes cost
ing from $1,000 to $1,000. The Lib
erty loan has appealed to their emo
tionalism, and as result I look to
see the colored people more thrifty
and a greater aid to the community. -

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1918.
ONE RESULT ON EASTERN
FRONT,

The foreign activities of the Com
ginning to bear fruit. A Russian
newspaper has made it's appearance
in this country with long and ex-
ceedingly laudatory article on the
virtues of Secretary McAdoo and his
wonderful genius as a railroad die
tator. Evidently the paper had not
been posted on the fact that the first
six months operation of the railroads
showed a loss of about $3OO,OOO,OOO;
that the discourtesy of the operators
had become so gross as to call for
an admonition from Mr.. McAdoo, and
that the service has been worse in
stead of better, despite Is per cent
raise in freight rates and a so per
cent increase in passenger rates.
The Committee on Public Informa-
ton will undoubtedly see that no
such information as that gets to Rus
STA, just as the committee saw to it
that the senatorial report on aircraft
production contained in the newspa-
pers was not permitted to get to
France. 1t was the belief of the peo-
pie of the United States, who have
to pay for the running of George
Creel's Committee on Public Infor-
nation that the purpose of the COM
mittee abroad was to disseminate the
propaganda of Americanism rather
than act as publicity agent for ambi-
tious administrators. Evidently the
people were mistaken in that belief.
Kings of the olden days had their
minstrel choirs to chant their virtues
to wide-mouthed peasantry. Now
that we are of the order of freemen,
with ability to read and reason, the
Choir of Creel is substituted. Let's
use our reason.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

Don't let your Liberty Bonds get
away from you. Hold onto them, even
If you may be tempted to dispose of
them
In the first place, the government in
tended them for YOU. The Liberty
loansswere designed as peoples loans.
In order to finance the war the xov.
eminent must have the support of
ALL the people. 1t was intended that
you keep the bonds and not trade
them or sell them.
Promiscuous selling tends to depre-
ciate their value, and that is what the
German agents here would like to do.
Not only is it your patriotic duty
to retain these bonds, but in doing so
you are laying up something for a
rainy day. The Liberty loans and the
Was Savings Stamp issues have done
more to encourage thrift in America
than anything ever before attempted.
they have made bondholders out of
thousands Of people who never in
their lives until now had made an in.
vestment.
Crafty and INSCRIPTIONS individuals
are using every means to entice these
bonds out of the hands of their own.
s1v. One method is offer in ex.
change for Liberty bonds stock certi
ffcates in hy-by-night companies
worth only the gold paper they are
printed on, and represented as return
ing a much higher rate of interest
than the government. securities
Those who are not familiar with stock
values should beware of such offers.
There are other methods, some
| savoring of the gold4brick variety
| others just within the limits of the
law.
Liberty bonds are the safest invest.
ment in the world. If you MUST dis.
pose Of them, you would do well to
consult your banker.

If you buy 500 bond of the
Fourth Liberty Loan you are lend

enough money to feed a soldier in
France 4 little more than seven
months. Or you have furnished
enough money TO give him COM
plete outfit of winter and summer
clothing, including shoes and stock
ings, and slicker and overcoat and
blankets, with enough left over to
arm him with good revolver. You
have done that much to beat back

some of these organizations either
segregate them or refuse admission.
they are also conserving food and
fuel and willingly making as many
sacrifices as any other group of
Americans, and they are genuine
Americans without the hyphen, the
Census of 1910 showing that ONLY
496 COLORED AMERICANS WERE

To be consistent the Tribune
should use "Sheeny" for Jewish SOL
diers, "Dago" for Italian soldiers,
mick" for Irish soldiers, Frog
eater" for French soldiers and
"Chink" for Chinese soldiers, and
other nicknames for the various
nationalities which make up the
United States Army. Even German
Americans, many of whom are in the
army, do not have such offensive
epithets applied to them unless they
are discharged for disloyalty.
Cut out the word "darky" and
all other words which offend loyal
Americans, for the period of the
war. Kindly send the order down
the line that "darky" and other
offensive words will not be permitted
in the columns of the Tribune This
would be an act of simple justice for
Americans who are doing their full
duty to their country
When the victorious American
Army marches down "Unter den
Linden" in Berlin in triumph, col
ored Americans will be in the ranks
! and after that "darky'' and all such
terms will be obsolete.

40 bonds should not wait until the
last moment to exercise the privilege
of conversion but proceed to do so
promptly. Delay will result in over
burdening the banking institutions Of
the country and the Treasury De-
partment by making it necessary to
handle all conversions at the last
moment, and may result in the loss
of the privilege of conversion alto

Holders of coupon bonds are

themselves against the risk of loss,
theft and destruction of their bonds.
