BIG PATRIOTIC MEETING
Opera House Crowded and Many
Turned Away at Lieut.. Nance,s
Meeting.

That the Lamar people were
thoroughly aroused by the war situa-
ton was well demonstrated on last
Sunday morning when the opera house
and the stairway leading to it was
jammed with citizens to hear Lieut..
X. F. Nance, and many people were
turned away. Through a mistake of
the national speakers bureau Lieut..
Nance missed his Lamar date last
week and Manager f. NJ. Wilson of
the Liberty Loan Committee brought
him back Sunday morning from Den
yer SO that our people would not fail
to hear him. Mr.. Wilson's enterprise
in this matter was rewarded by the
record patriotic crowd in spite of the
early morning hour and short notice.
After hearing the wonderful and con
vincing story of the heutenant's ex-
periences in the trenches and on the
front all agreed that Lamar owes Mr..
Wilson a vote of thanks for his pre-
sistance in getting Lieut.. Nance here.
He is a fine speaker, with a wonder
full subject and pleasing address and
presence. The pictures he drew of the
horrors of Hun invasions were even
greater than those which have been
given before, and his stories of the
heroism of the French and English
armies in holding the line for months
when they had nothing but the bay
onet to meet the Huns wonderful
machinery of war thrilled all hearts
and made all his hearers glad that
America has entered the conflict be-
fore it is too late and taken her prop
or position among the leaders of civil
ization in its death struggle with bar
barism. Lieut.. Nance spoke later at
the Presbyterian church Sunday to the
young people.

wishing You The Same"

The congress of Russia soviets was
SO deeply touched by President Will
sons message of sympathy that it
replied thanking him kindly for his
words and expressing the earnest hope
that the time will soon come when
this government may be overthrown
and the United States enjoy the social
istic advantages now SO conspicuous in
Russia
Those are not the exact words but
they are the substance of the answer
of the congress. It is certainly gem
of unconscious humor. The German
imperial heel is on the bolshevik neck
and the bolsheviki have even ceased
to protest. But they still insist that
the "happy time is near when the labor
ing masses in all bourgeois countries
The Lamar register., 1918-04-03

will throw off the capitalistic yoke
and establish a socialist state of
society, which is the only one capable
or assuring a permanent and just
peace and the culture and well-being
of all who toll"
We are just as grateful to the
soviets for their expression Of good
will as they are for the sympathy Of
fered by the President. But the little
suggestion that this country follow the
shining course to tic 500 ialistic state
now being trodden By the bolsheviki
leaves US extremely cold. In the first
place, we are not enamored of the
socialist state, and in the next place
the bolsheviki course doesn't lead there
1t leads to nothing but national hu-
initiation and foreign dictation.--Chi-
cago Herald.

We have already called attention in

that the newspapers Of America are

time he urges q depositor to buy
Thrift Stamp or Liberty Bond. The
money, or large part of it, must
come out of his deposits. Were re
narrow minded-unable to look beyond
the immediate dollar-and lacking in
patriotism, he could not do what prac-
tically every banker the country over
is doing; lending his influence and his
work to make the governments finan-

In d reply to President Wilson'S
cable expressing the appreciation of
America for the heroic part which the
English soldier ere now playing, Gen
eral Douglas HaiS wires as follows:
"Your message Of generous appre-
citation of the steadfastness and val
or of our soldiers in the great battle
now raging las greatly touched US
all. Please accept ur heartfelt thanks
One and all believe in the justice of
our cause and are determined to fight

The Lamar register., 1918-04-03

No man who has followed the pro-
gress of the great battle now raging
on the western front in Europe, can
fail to realize that the need is great
and the appeal urgent for mastering
every source to back up the boys at
the front.
What if the Germans should win
(And the thin English h-French-Ameri-
can line that oppose them is certainly
being hard pressod.) With France at
her mercy and the English fleet dis
posed of, do you think that America
would be spared? "A German army
shelling Granada" as one recent speak
er halfway predicted, would not be
an impossibility at all. And beside
that, there are half a million of our
bravest boys in France today who
would pay the penalty or who would
have to be ransomed, and the Germans
have never been known to show liber-
ality toward the peoples within their
grasp.
The answer is, we must win. And
if we cannot ourselves shoulder a gun,
we must fight with our dollars.
Figure it OUT While you may lose
two or three percent on part of the
money that you put into Liberty
Bonds, fully one-half of your invest
ment will represent money that would
have been WASTED Otherwise. You are
helping yourself directly as well as in
by helping your government.
