CAPT. KIDD WAS A HOARDER
boarding Money and Hiding 1t Does
Nobody Any Good-Buy Bonds.

1t takes very little ingenuity to
cache" money where the government
can't find it, Captain Kidd buried
lot of his pirate "swag" somewhere
along the Spanish main, where no one
ever did find it-where it never did
a living soul any gOod-never built
hospital-never alleviated human suf-
fering-never helped along the works
of civilization and humanity = just
dead money: absolutely dead, like the
soul of the pirate who hid it.
The brave thing now isn't hiding
money.
The only thing that counts in this
terrible time is service.
Service with the cOlorS, or service
backing up the fighters who have Of
fered their lives for the righteous
cause
Hiding and boarding money is not
service. 1t is the opposite; it is TAX
ing money out of service. 1t is a spe
cies of desertion
A deSerter in the army stands up
before a firing squad and pays the
proper penalty.
A hoarder is a money deserter who
is entitled to the. same penalty.
Sometimes he is merely thoughtless.
Sometimes he is just selfish.
But anyway he is doing a great
wrong to the United States and dead
ly wrong to the world and civiliza-
ton.
The world does not need Captain
Kids. Nor does America.
But America does need 100000
more Liberty Bond buyers.
If you have any money slowed away
out of sight bring it out and have 1t
changed into the most useful OF all
f0rms-fourth Liberty bonds.

TT is as shameful and as reasonable
to make money out of this war as
it would be to make money out of the
Red Cross. The soldier can make no
money out of it. The nurses at the
front can make no money out of it.
The people who bear the burden and
make the sacrifices that keep the home
fires burning can make no money out
of it. And anyone who does heap up a
fortune out of his country's travail

OBSERVING the terrible slaughter
of the western battle. the kaiser is
described as shedding tears. Some
photographs brought from over there
and printed not long ago might also
make the kaiser weep. They showed
little French or Belgian girls, with
legs broken off at the knees. or hacked
off, and bodies lacerated. Possibly the
kaiser has seen them and they made
him laugh joyously.

HAVING been disappointed in their
hope that the submarines would
keep the American forces out of
France in sufficient NUMBERS to be-
come factor IN the war, the Ger
mans have besl trying to bolster up
the courage of Their people by casting
doubt upon the qualities IF the men we
are putting overseas, and wondering
if the lightning trained Yankee will
hold his own against the German lads
who have military training from their
youth" Undoubtedly by this time the
Kaiser is pretty thoroughly convinced
that the Yanks are not to be sneered
at. So far the lightning trained
Americans have proved quite match
for the German lads" In every re-
spect of the fighting, these newly |
made soldiers of ours have NOR, than
held their own. There is not in the
records a single case Of quitting or
weakening under fire. For ingenuity
and initiative, for speed of action and
intelligence the American troops have
won the praises of the British ard
French commanders in highest terms
In the pinches the average American
makes a good soldier without much
technical training. This has been
proved several times lately. There
was the case of railroad engineers
at Cambria, there was General Carey's
"scrub army" that filled the gap and
saved the battle in the course of the
British retreat under the pressure
of the German offensive in March,
and possibly saved the day for the !
allies And just the last few days
the marines have demon ,trated their
ability to more than hold their own r
aca'i st the trained German lads" in
a way that those same German lads
ard seasoned veterans will not soon /
forget. If Germany is trying to con- r
sole herself with the thought that
our men will not match their lads of
lifetime military training she is head \
ed for the most bitter of all her many
suffered in this war.

CONGRESSMEN who are trying to
hang onto their jobs this year are
having a hard time digging up argu-
ments wherewith to fortify themselves
Arguments are being put forth as to
the inadvisability of putting new and
untried men in place of the men now
holding seats in congress. No man of
sound judgment would think of dis
placing a useful man in congress
merely to put another in his place,
but it has become plain to many peo-
