Really Awful Threat.

An Irishwoman brought an action

murder her. what particular form
did the threat take?" inquired the mag

the complainant, "she threatened to
whitewash the lane with my blood"

Works as Brain Food.

Language Is sometimes called the in
strument of thought. But a very wise
man says that really it is the nutri
ment of thought; the atmosphere in
which thought lives: a medium as nee
essary to the activity of our mental
powers as air is to the lungs. Cole
ridge said that every new term express
ing fact not previously defined was
new organ of thought for the mind
that has learned it. To think new
thoughts, then, new words are neces-
sary. Like food for the body, they be-
come food for the mind, and by the
subtlest of all mental chemistry they
become transmitted into ideas.

eight miles east of Noyon and are in

General Mangin now has driven the
Germans across the valley of the All

enemy's forces on the right wing of
the battle line are on the plateau be-
tween the Ailette and the Disc.
To the left of Bretiny the Germans
are north of the Disc, except those
that are hiding. in fields and thickets,
dead or prisoner. 1t is impossible to
estimate the number of captives being

more than an approximate count.
Only partial count has been made
of the booty which includes at least
200 guns, many of them of large cali

In their retreat across the Disc the
Germans did not have time to destroy
the bridges Some were found intact,
while others were damaged.

THE WAR, TIE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

What the Imperial German govern.
ment offered the farmers Of America
in it's ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits, but slavery to
the saber-rattIer Of Potsdam. He pur-
posed to make us slaves by murder
ing the people who took our products
to market. By all the laws Of civil
lied warfare, commerce under a neu-
trail flag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interference justified
by war But the Germans not only
stopped merchant vessels, they sank
them Sank them without warning,
without trace-the most deVilish
scalped our ancestors and threw
screaming babies into the flames of
burning cabins.
The German plan Of sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderer's maxim that dead
men tell no tales" 1t was exc
cuted by the massacre of men, WOm-
en- and children, who, having com
mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships We're
torpedoed, were mercilessly raEoa
with gunfire, and eXterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul! Thes-
are the murders that stain the hand
of the Kaiser, his advisers and min
ions These outra2es were perDetrated
on neutral vessels when all that civ
ilized warfare gave the Germans a
right to do even with the merchant
vessel under a hostile fag, was to
stop it at sea and make it q prize OF
war
To kill the civilians on board, even
under a hostile flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these mur
ders were committed in order that we
might be enslaVed! Having the
right to take the sea with his fleet
but being afraid to do so for fear he
might lose it, and being unable by
fair means to stop the selling Of OuI
products to his enemies. the Kaise1
declared that he would do it by the
foulest methods ever resOrted to In
war. He declared the sea closed
and that he would keep it closed, not
by war, but by murder.
To have submitted would have cost
us dear in prosperity but that would
have been the least of our loss
We should have had to grovel be
fore the German government.
We should have had to accept mur

der as a thing against which we
could not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part of all future
wars, and have been responsible for
its incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that be-
cause the fire which burns up our
farms usefulness is beyond the hori-
zon, we would submit to the kindling
OF it.
We might have accepted the sew,
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton, but we could not have
done it merely because we were
commanded to do it. By so doing
we should have accepted degrada-
ton. We should have begun, after
winning our freedom in our own
revolution and establishing a union
on the foundation Of liberty in the
blood and tears Of our war between
the states TO knuc1Ie under to autoc-
racy. We should have basely yielded
up our birthriE1t as Americans.
Such thouobt is fntolerable. Peace
at such a price would not be peace,
blt only a preparation for a future
re olt against subjugation. Better

sacrifices, let us remember that we

OF next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today Not
for the right to live in the future, but
for the right to make a living this
year.
German oppression had begun to
pinch us before we entered the war.
If we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions of life ordered
for us by the Kaiser, we should today
be a poverty stricken people. Our
factories would be shut down, our
workmen unemployed, our people
starving our farmers ruined by the
poverty Of those for whose cOnsump-
tion they grow their crops. There is
loss and sacrifice in the war, but
there would have been far more of
loss and sacrifice in accepting the
German terms We should have lost
more in money than we have spent
in the war, but we should have lost
something far more precious. We
should have lost our souls.

AMERICAN BLOOD
VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
BY Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LEISH TAFT

There are some tremendous lessons
to be learned from the present status
OF the world strife.
One of the most momentous of them
all is a lesson to America and Amer
icans-a lesson to you and me-a
personal lesson which we shall do
we'll to accept in it's fullest, personal
application. 1t is the lesson of IN
DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war.
The blood of American soldiers is
wet upon the trenches, and the base
hospitals are ministering to Ameri-
can wounded. The shadow of the
Death Angel, made in Germany"
has fallen across your threshold and
mine. 1t is no longer thing de
tached and apart from us. We are
in it. The blood of our sacrifice
reeks upon the altar 1t is now a per
sonal affair.
We-you and must back our boys
in the trenches, or forever cease to
claim rank and title as Americans.
The time has come when there are
but two classes in this country
Americans, who are for the war in
which our boys are pouring out their
blood, and traitors, who are either
against the war or Indifferent toward
it. And Indifference is now, if any.
thing, more despicable than antago.
nism.
There is one thing, at least, that
most OF us can do to prove our aware
ness OF the situation and our loyalty
to those who are fighting OUR battles
over there; most of us can subscribe.
in some degree, to the Third Liberty
Loan
1t is totally beside the issue to
point out that these bonds are a good
investment. The investment feature
is not the thing in question 1t may
require some sacrifice to convert pres
9nt holdings into holding Of Liberty
Loan Bonds. But as far as we can
manage it, you and |, if we accept the
great lesson of the hour and take our
part in the baptism of American blood
which is for the cleansing of the ma
ions and the rehabilitation of the
world, we must come across''-and
come quickly and with thankfulness
hat it is given to us to do even so
title.
