Must Do Our Best.


Never, really, was there such a
stimulant given us to do without the
nonessential and save. Not only is 1t
saving for our boys and helping them
to fight, but it is saving for them when
they come home and saving for our
selves. Is there, in imagination, q
prouder parent than that father or.
mother, who when his or her boy
comes home from serving his country,
can open drawer and pull out neat
little package of Liberty loan bonds1
That is what we. mean by keeping the
home-fres burning" by backing up
our boys" by "doing out bit" The
only point is that we should change
the latter to "doing our best" We've
done our "bit" in the past loans; in
this fourth loan we should do our
"best." We want to be able to show
our boy bond or two or three in each
loan; not have him ask: "Oh, didn't
you get in on the fourth?"
1t isn't as If we can't do it. We can,
II we will only set our minds to the
job of real saving. There are scores of
things we can do without which seem
necessities and yet are really Injuries.
Our boys "over there" are doing with
out them and offering their lives be-
sides. We are not asked for the latter.
All we are asked to do Is to do without
here something and there something,
and by doing this we are patriots |!
And all the time while we are adj
judged patriots we are investing our
money In the safest thing on earth and
getting good interest on 1t In the
bargain. Frankly, can you beat TT"
1t Is something to ask man to give
money, without return, and be a
patriot But In these Liberty loans all
the government asks that a man shall
loan is his money, safely guarded and
at good interest. and still he is q
patriot.

GERMANS INTERFERE WITH
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

INSTITUTIONAL a climax to at
rocities in Belgium, the German mil

to interfere with the religious liber-
ties of the civilian populations of the
occupied territories
A letter written to Pope Benedict
by the Bishop of Journal, made public
here by the Belgian legation, tells how
Bavarian soldiers summarily halted
religious service throughout out-third
of the bishops diocese on November
IA last year.
II am fulfilling a painful duty"
wrote the bishop, "in informing your
