children's education. the pay
ment of the mortgage, the better
school, the new church. We
should have basely yielded up
our birthright as Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable.
Better any sort of war, better
war forever than that. Let us
remember that we fight for
Liberty. Not only for the Lib
erty of the Belgians, the French,
the Servians, the Russians, the
British, the Montenegrins, the
Roumanians, the Italians, but OF
all nations, even for the German
people themselves, and most OF
all for our own Liberties.
While Gerard was our Ambass-
ador in Berlin, the Kaiser said
to him one day that he would
stand no nonsense from America
after the war. Do you know
what that means? 1t means
that the Germans intend to SUBJ
jugate this country if they come
out of this war victorious.
The farmers of the United
States can whip Germany. We
can whip them with guns. We
can whip them with our prod
ucts. We can whip them with
our money.
Our contribution is, first our
sons and brothers for the trench
es; second, the last pound OF
foodproducts which we can grow
by mobilizing our scanty labor
supply, utilizing the men, wom-
en-, children and the townpeople
about us; and third, money for
Liberty Bonds.
Every farmer in the United
States must remember that the
war has a first mortgage on
every cent he has. The last
spare cent in the pockets OF
every farmer in America should
be devoted to the war. Your
son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with
which they may fight.
Germany wins if the Treasury
fails, so buy Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps.

THE DOUBLE EFFECT OF
ECONOMY.

When an American citizen, i1-
stead of spending 500 for some
thing he wants, denies himself
and lends the money to the Gov
eminent he performs a double
service.
First, he furnishes the Govern
ment with 800 to use in the
Prosecution of this war.
Second, he has relieved to the
extent of 500 the drain on our
goods and services; that is,
materials and labor. To make
the article or articles he would
have bought, or to manufacture
others to take their place in the
market, would require materials
and labor. In addition. to get
the article to him labor and
freight space would be required.
By doing without the article, he
has left free a certain amount OF
material to be used for war pur-
poses, certain amount of labor
to be used in the same way, and
he has also relieved to a certain
extent the transportation facili-
ties of the country.
This may not be much in the
individual case. but when hun
dreds of thousands and millions
of Americans pursue this course
it means millions and millions of
dollars loaned the Government,
tremendous quantities of mater
ials left for uses Of the Nation in
this war, millions of hours of
labor free to do war work, and a
vast amount Of freight space free
for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to
make; are small and trivial COM
pared to the sacrifices that our
soldiers and sailors make daily
while they offer constantly their
lives for their country, the great
est sacrifice of all.

Conscientious Objecter
Gives Back His Army
Pay Amounting to $155

Washington, March S.--Joshua l..
Bailey, Jr., of Haverford, Pa, a con-
scientious objecter, who was caught
in the draft, mustered into service in
the National Army at Camp Meade
and then discharged because of ply
sical disability has refused to retain
$155.27 as pay for his military serv-
ices, it was learned at the Treasury
Department. Bailey is a member of
the Society of Friends
Following his discharge on the
recommendation of army doctors,
Bailey was forced to accept his pay
under the threat of being detained
indefinitely in camp. He felt he could
not keep, the money, because he had
objected to military service and be-
cause he had not earned it. His first
thought was to devote it to the
Friends service committee, but he
concluded he could not use even in
a good cause money that had been
acquired in a questionable way"
Bailey sent his pay check to Sec
retary Baker. 1t was sent to the
Treasurer of the United States and
credited to the general fund
In letter which accompanied the
check, Bailey said:
MY reason for not accepting pay
is that | am a conscientious objecter
and did no military work while 1 was
in camp, and so do not feel free to
take remuneration for no service
rendered, and so did not sign the
payroll at ALL"
