NO government in the history OF the
world has ever offered such desirable
investment as the Liberty Bonds Of the
United States. II Is one Of the baskets
in which all Of ones eggs may be safely
entrusted.
Every man, woman and child who can
by any sort Of saving or sacrifice raise
money sufficient to buy a bond should
do. In all probability in a few years
every dollar invested in Liberty Bond
will be worth two or three dollars.

LACKING only two votes for the
necessary two-thirds majority the
amendment providing for national wo-
man suffrage was defeated in the
United States Senate on Tuesday. Pres
ident Wilson appeared on the floor OF
the Senate and made an address, urg-
ing the adoption Of the measure, de-
claring that it was war necessity and
would give the United States a ire
mendous advantage by showing to the
world that We are really democracy
in the fullest meaning Of the word.
We are happy to say that our two
West Virginia Senators, Mr.. Golf and
Mr.. Sutherland, voted for the amend

ONLY about a month until the cleo

it will be a good thing il the people for
once should just 20. to the polls and vote
their sentiments without partisan bias
or outside influence.

1T is announced that Jefferson coun-
tvs allotment Of the Fourth Liberty
Loan is s372, 900. OF this amount s264,-
200 is assigned to Charles Town, S97,-
700 to Shepherdstown, and $4,000 to
Harper's Ferry.
While this seems to be large sum, it
ought to be quickly subscribed in the
rich and prosperous county Of Jeffer-
son-indeed, il must be. 1t is not a
matter Of choice whether or not we shall
subscribe for these bonds. The govern
ment has made them such good
investment and has fxed the terms OF
purchase so liberal and convenient,
that the man or woman who is able to
do so and yet refuses to buy will be held
up to public scorn as mean and con-
temptible and unpatridtio Our boys
and men are fighting our battles in
France-they offer themselves a living
sacrifice on the altar Of liberty and fiu-
mainly. Any American at home who
now fails to back them up with his
dollars is unworthy Of citizenship, and
il he refuses to buy Liberty bonds when
he is able to do so must be put in the
pillory of public contempt
AS we conceive it, the noblest answer
to the call Of duty in these tremendous
times is to offer ones self for service
in the army or navy or in whatever
branch Of the government We can fill
q useful place. Little less in import
ance is the obligation to support the
government to the limit OF our re-
sources-by subscribing to the Liberty
Loan.
Let all the men, women and children
OF Jefferson county quickly and cheer.
fully DO their best to help our soldier:

THESE are dark days for Germany.
Under the great generalship OF General
Foch terrible blows are being struck
by the Allies all along the battle front
from Switzerland to the sea, and the
Germans are being driven from defenses
that they had boosted would be: impreg-
nable. The greatest battle Of the war
is now being fought, and the Allies are
pressing on with irresistible force. The
important city Of st. Quentin, where the
Germans had 4 great military base, has
been captured.
Unable to Withstand the onslaught
OF the allied armies, Bulgaria has sur
rendered Internationally, agreeing to
such terms as the victors may grant. This
j. a sickening blow to Germany, and is
the Hrst break in the ranks Of the
Central Powers. The way into Austria
Hungary by the back door is now open,
and it is not improbable thta this dual
monarchy may also desert Germany and
make peace with the Allies as best it
can. Turkey, which is practically cut
of from German help, and whose armies
in Palestine have been almost demolish-
ed by the British forces, may also sur
render at an early day. This would
leave Germany hopelessly alone in its
fight against the great nations who
stand for democracy.

NOW that it is practically certain that
the Germans will be thoroughly thrash
ed, let US plan for justice. They must
be made to pay dearly for their crimes
individually and nationally, as an
example for future generations. Or
course the Allies cannot, and should
not, wantonly destroy and dehle and
murder as the ruthless Huns have done
but exile for the Hohenzollerns and
trial OF the submarine murderers and
the bombers OF hospitals and defence
less cities should be insisted upon
Moreover, the German people, who have
reyer shown any humane impulses nor
protested against the barbarities Of their
soldiers and the military masters, should
Re made to pay for all the material ruin
that has been wrought.
The judgment Of God upon these
modern Huns should be carried out by
the civilization they have outraged.

THE impudent German government
which from the beginning has used every
sort OF Hendish device to kill or MAIN
the soldiers OF the Allies, has had the
audacity to threaten the United States
because American soldiers are using
shotguns, and says that any soldier
found with such a weapon or known to
have used it will be instantly executed
Our government has made quick reply
that shotguns are used only in accord
ance with the rules OF civilized war
fare, and il any harm comes to our
soldiers swift and effective reprisala
will be made upon German prisoners in
our possession.
II the bloodthirsty Huns harm one
American prisoner let us put twenty
Germans to death! Even at this We
would not be properly avenged.

PARIS, Oct. 26.--The battle has

Meuse. The Germans are fighting we'll
everywhere. but the Allies continue to
make substantial Roadway in the tasl,
OF driving back the enemy on the
Mcuse line.
Although the recent fighting has been
marked by no sensational develop

which, apart from the ground gained
adds considerably TO the wastage of
men and material with which the Ger
mans must reckon. In the last four
days the enemy has lost we'll up toward
$4,000 prisoners and 200 guns. His
total losses Of electives cannot have
been less than $4,000
Strictly speaking, there are three
large battles in progress, all of which
are being conducted with equal sue
cess for the Allies. The first is being
carried on by the British Third and
Fourth armies. which, pushing on TOW

Inc second is the attack of General
Mangin north and east of Laon, which
has resulted in gain on front Of

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 22.-Three days
ago it was announced that $4,000 rcfu-
gees from Northern France and Bel
GUM were expected to cross into Hol-
land by way of Nispen, north of Ant
werp, and ever since their arrival has
been awaited day and night.
Doctors have gone to Nispen to con-
duct medical inspections, hu. neither
they nor the Rcd Cross authorities
there know whethcr the refugees will
come
If the Germans have decided definite
ly to defend Antwerp it is likely that
they will divert the stream away to the
east where, already at Weert and lite
wort, there are large numbers Of poor
people who from the Cambria and
Douai regions have been arriving since
Sunday.
To-day the first patches are leaving
the train for Utrecht, whence they will
be distributed to camps in Northern
Holland. Many chow marks Of severe
suffering, but the number left behind
in hospitals is comparatively small.
The hands of the clock apcar to have
been put back TO 1914, when the same
scenes were familiar on their frontier.
The anxiety of the people about
humble belongings and their sollcitude
for tiny children and sick children are
as touching as then.

Before leaving their communcs they
obtained from local authorities bonds

sums Of franc and half and one

on for daily sustenance for adults and
children respectively, and receipts OF
such persons as supply the needs of
the pilgrims and refugees Of the state.
In no instance we're these receipts

Some Germans Interned
Meantime, if there are no refugees
here, there are rumors to spare. There
is hardly a village between here and
Sluis where the Germans are not re-
ported to have crossed the frontier and
been interned by the Dutch. Few have
crossed here and there.
am told to-day that about one hun
dred Germans arrived BY boat at
Flushing. 1t now seems unlikely that
there is any large body Of Germans
who have been isolated and forced to
enter Holland. The enemy has been
obliged to abandon large quantities OF
material. but retreat so far has been
made in good order.
There was a good deal Of military
activity on this side Of the frontier at
Arendenburg last night, with the sound
oi guns in the near distance. The
alarm was sounded and troops left for
. the frontier. There was something
like q panic at Eede, and part of the
population left the town.
The people of these frontier villages
arc almost in sight as we'll as in sound
of battle. During the fight for Made
CHEM and Strooibrug tho wounded
could be clearly seen being attended
in dugouts and lying in the open
Some Of the Germans came to the
frontier and talked of the war.
One declared stoutlv that Germany
VIII still win. but he failed to impress
his companion, who said that the case
was now one OF "hard running"
number OF people from Bruges
passed through here tonight on their
way to Amsterdam They stated that
life at Bruges was already beginning
TO assume, hesitatingly, some of its
old aspects. One man told the story
of dealer in antique: who had sue
coded in hiding from the Germans a
stock OF old copper. Hardly had they
and put it on view. Another popular
hero is old Dupan, the carilonneur
who, though long ago pcnsioned, climbe d
