DHLY LOUISE led the way down

and along the orchard to the little
gate. The Cove seemed empty and
rather forlorn, with the wind creep

branches of the naked fruit trees.
She stopped for a minute on the
doorstep. hesltating before she opened
the door. Behind her. Seabeck drew
close as If he would shield her from
something: perhaps he. too. felt the
deadly quiet and emptiness of the
place.
Billy Louise opened the door and
stepped into the kitchen. She stopped
and stood still, so that her slim figure
would have hidden the interior from
the eyes of Seabeck had he not been
SO tall. As 1t was, she barred his
way so that he must stand on the step

and he was facing happiness-so far
as he or anyone knew. She wanted
very much to be with Ward, but she
could not delude her conscience into
believing that he needed her more
than did Marthy.
Seabeck returned after while, and
Billy Louise, who was watching from
the doorway, met him at the little gate

BARCELONA AN ACTIVE CITY
Most Progressive of All Spanish mu-
inequalities and Center Of the Rev.
oiutionary Movement.

The revolutionary movement In
Spain centers in the city of Barcelona.
The goal of the revolutiOnlsts Is re-
public and republics stand for prog
ress. OF all Spanish cities Barcelona
is the most progressive. writes Niksha.
For ten years the cOnservatiN es have
been looking asknnce at this great
modern shipping and manufacturing
center, so different from their sleepy
inland strongholds. and from the peas
ant villages of the quiet hills, with POI
litical Ideas of the last century.
Barcelona is great world city. 1t
is understanding Marseilles as the
Commercial queen of the Medlterra-
mean. The Spaniard has often been
charged with lack of business and
enterprise. Barcelona is his answer,
Here his factories rival those Of Lam
cashire. his shipping that of Liverpool.
The great Industrial suburbs. each II
city in itself. are reminiscent Of the
outlying cities that cluster about
Manchester in the Industrial north Of
England.
Yet Barcelona remains characteris-
tically Spanish. The city has taken
the ugliness. the bitter competitive
spirit of modern industry, and, more
nearly than any other industrial CEN
ter. has blended them with beauty and
Latin courtesy and good nature. Bar
celona is Spain awakened, but not
Spain transformed.
II Is n sunny town. with clear,
bracing fir and blue sky. that the
smoke OF u thousand ehimneys never
hides. II has plenty Of parks and
tree shaded boulevards; even Its poor
er quarters lack the sordidness OF
the Anglo Saxon slum. The flower
markets, the promenades, the cafes,
are thronged with loungers. not of the
leisure classes. but workmen in their
leisure time. The Spaniard has
learned to work without forgetting
how to idle And withal, the crowds
are keen and wideawake. nightly in
terested in public affairs, and discuss
ing politics with the heat that Is
birthright in the Latin races. BARGE
Iona promises to remain at the fore
front of progressive Spain.

This war will be won by steady,
persistent endeavor rather than by
spurts and spasmodic exertion. We
have had great and admirable out
bursts of effort in Liberty loan cam
paigns, and later we shall witness
sudden and tremendous efforts in
battle. But we rely upon something
else as the handspring of our war
enterprise. That something else is
the steady and sustained expendi-
ture of national energy at all times
and under all conditions. That alone
makes decisive victory possible in
battle. The buying of War Savings
Stamps, systematically and continu
ously, corresponds to the work done
in the trenches and behind the lines
when there is nothing of import
ance to report" It is like the work
of the sailors on vigil in the danger
zone during the long days when they
Only watch and wait for submarine
attack. IT is like the quiet, steady
beat Of the heart as it stores up the
reserve of force and energy that re
spends when the call for extra exer
tion comes.
Again, the buying of stamps at fire
quent and regular intervals makes
for that national thrift, without
which we could not hope to win
There are not enough rich men in
America to buy victory, even if We
confiscate all their wealth The wal
can not be won merely by imposing
heavy taxes II can be won only by

In recent story published in one

Dodge. well-known New York au-
thor, defined the yellow Dog" and
pointed out the grave menace grow
ing out of letting this animal run at
large.
"The Yellow Dog" according to
Mr., Dodge, is the whining native son
who constantly harps on German eff
ficiency, of our fighting England's
war, of its being a rich mans war,
Of the crime of sending our boys
over there, of the impossibility Of
defeating Germany of charging our
Dollar year men with being prof
iteers. of declaring that a large per-
ccntage of war tax money goes to
grafters and all the rest of the fee
Bile minded twaddle.
Mr. Dodge is promoting the organ
ization of the boys of their country
| for the purpose of stamping our
yellow Dogs and yellow dogism
The boys are to be supplied with
cards which they are to present ia
| "Yellow Dogs" Some of the phras
es on these cards are as follows:
'If a man talks against the gov
ernment and can't back up what he
| co,yo Ia,c n xya11o,,, dOn
"The meanest yellow dog Of the
lot is the one that stands up and
hears his country abused without
protest"
ANY man who tells the govern
ment about its faults and how tC
correct 'em is its friend; any man
who tells the government about its
faults just to discourage, is yellow
dog"
ANY man that won't buy bond
isn't willing to pay his share of the
expenses of our brothers in the
trenches who are risking their lives
fighting for him. Can any yellow
dog be yellerer'n that2"
Anybody that says U. S. bonds
eint the safest investment in the
world is 4 yellow dog"
Anybody that says anything thai
gives the Germans a chance to write
htme an say this ain't popular
war is a yellow dog. It's popular an
then some"
Anybody who talks peace by com
promise is yellow dog. Judas made

tho united effort of all the people

supply the final and conclusive an
awer to the question: How can we
all help?
Remember that National War Saw
ings Day is June 2S. Pledge your
self on or before that day to save
to the utmost of your ability and to
buy War Savings Stamps that there

terials to back up those who fighi

THE MEANING OF WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS

It is a mistake to look upon War
Savings Stamps as small change
cleaners intended only to raise few
Of the innumerable millions needed
TO finance the great undertaking to
which we are committed. We do not
measure the value of these invest
ment mediums by the amount of
money so obtained. We measure 1t
rather by the universal nature of
the appeal which the stamps make,
an appeal that brings the message.
and the meaning of the war to
every individual of thinking age in
the United States of America, writes
Arthur M Move, of the Brooklyn
Eagle.
Those who regard the sale of War
Savings Stamps as a side enterprise
or as something that appeals mainly
to children totally miss the purpose
behind plan which is one of the
best thus far evolved for war pur-
poses. In the last analysis the sell.
ing of these stamps is the fitting OF
the whole nation to sustain the bur
den of the war. II is the application
to war finance of the principle OF
universal service 1T aims to enlist
all of the American people in direct
support of that gallant minority
among them who have answered the
call to arms and prepared themselves
for the firing iine.
