1t is estimated that several hun

factory which will employ several
persons and lurn out thousands of
brooms monthly. l is possible also

HOW THEY CAN PAY.

A Cornell professor has an ingenious sugges-
tion for enabling the German people to meet
their war obligations. He assumes as matter
of course that they must pay for all the damage
thew have done in other countries. But how!
Germany's own war debt amounts to PROB
ablv half of her national wealth. That fact
would seem TO preclude the payment OF the de
sired billions to Belgium. France and other
wronged nations. But as the professor points
out. that debt is almost entirely owed by Ger
mans to Germans. It is matter of domestic
bookkeeping 1t does not effect the actual, ma
terial wealth of the country.
This debt, which the peace terms Will I'M
pose might be taken care of, the professor
thinks bv the following plan: The big fortunes
an dthe landed estates of Germany could be
seized by the new government. The money and
securities so obtained could be used directly to
help pay the indemnities The estates could be
broken up and sold to the people on long term
payn2ents, after the manner of the Iris hland
distribution. except that in this case the money
would 90 mostly not to the former owners, but
to the allied countries.
The idea is submitted by the professor for
what It is worth. 1t seems drastic bat there Is
at least a measure of poetic justice in it, mas
much as the bi capitalists and junker land
owners were primarily responsible for the war
which made Germany liable to these ndemnitles

IS YOUR HONOR AT STAKE2

If man called you liar you would resent
j. wouldn't you?
If you were accused Of being dishonest you
would rightfully be enraged?
If any one impugned you HONOR you would
be highly indignant?
If you didn't resent any Of these aspersions
against your character, there would be some
thing radically wrong with you.
And yet your honor IS at stakel Not only
your own individual honor, but the honor of
your city and your state.
Every untitled War Savings Pledge is a badge
of dishonor. 1t is as conspicuously a symbol of
dishonesty and lack of honor as was that signif-
cant scarlet letter which published to the world
the dishonor of Hester Prynne
The war is over. There will be no more fight
ing. Uncle Sam has an approximate two million
boys over in France
What would you think of Uncle Sans sense
Of honor il it should be announced that the de-
mobilization OF our armies would be made in
Europe and that the lads would be expected to
defer their own expenses back to America?
But Uncle Sam wouldn't do that, unless we,
ourselves, fail the boys, for Uncle Sam is fig
nrative person. He simply stands for US-col-
lectively and individually.
1t is up to Us to bring home those brave boys
who went into the front line trenches Of France
to fight for US.
Every untitled War Savings Pledge says
"Wel the war is over ] should worry about
how the boys get home"
Last June we pledged to buy War Savings
Stamps TO the amount of two billion dollars. W.

PASSING THE BUCK.

The principal occupation in all the enemy
countries just now is what in good American
nhraseology is termed passing the buck" Every
last one of them is trying to hedge on its war
obligations.
1--WE have reformed" they all cry ''See how
we have changed our governments and institu-
tiong It was our wicked kings that made war
on you and killed your people and ravaged your
countries. We have kicked them out You have
nothing against US. We are your brethren now
as indeed we have always been in spirit
So they beg to be let off easy in the peace
terms. So they hope to escape paying for the
crimes committed and the damage done.
They may, indeed, escape the severest pen
alties for the evil deeds committed by them and
in their name They may avoid death on the
battlefield or execution at the bar of justice
They may escape the devastation of their own
countries. But they may as well make up their
minds that they cannot escape restoring all that
their armies have stolen, and paying to the last
dollar for all the damage they have done to life
and property.

gave our individual word of HONOR that Uncle
Sam could depend upon us for stipulated sun
of money.
If we repudiate this obligation, voluntarily
assumed, we not only besmlrch our own escutch-
con of Honor, but we place our city ano
our state in an igno.-..2ious position where the
finger of scorn and shame may be leveled at
them
BUT. we are NOT liars-we are NOT dshon-
est-and we DO value our Honor above all
things. This we have proved in each and every
patriotic campaign by our generous response to
the Governments call for financial support.
During this week there is to be another ca'd-
paign-W. S. S. HONOR WEEK-for the re-
demption of all 1918 War Savings Pledges.

AN EPIGRAMMATIC HISTORY
OF THE WAR.

Someone, some dav ou~ht to undertake task
that really needs doing, the compilation of an epi-
grammatic history of the war Crucial tense
moments have almost always produced their
world -resounding epigrams. Usually they are
lost because there is no one at hand to record
them. But in the present war there has been
a wonderfully full record kept. 1t is hardly
possible that the really meaningful phrases, the
pregnant, mOuthfuls of dcton, have been let
slip away forever.
All of us know the three or four outstanding
instances They start off in Americas partic-
patton, with 'Too proud to fight" That is his
toric, expressive and extremely typical Of dis
tinct phase of our attitude toward the war, as a
nation.
Then there was Pershing's speech at the
grave of Lafayette: "LaFayette we are here"
Again the spirit and intention of nation is
bound UP and given to the world in four words.
And once more: "They shall not pass" Four
words more combinine the hopes and fears and
losses and pains of France, England and Bel
gium.
Then the latest stage of conflict, stated Beat
ties already famous message to the surrendered
German fleet.
These mark broad periods of the war There
are others yet to come, for instance when Presi-
dent Wilson arrives in France, when he faces the
Germans at the peace conference, when he toe
Visi+e the tomb Of Lafayette.
There have been many others in between
these mentioned. Each of them is wonderful
saying, beyond doubt, because Of it's setting ano
it's appropriateness Could not many of them be
Gathered up before they are forgotten? We
know how we treasure our own national say
ings such as Remember the Alamo; "Remem
ber the Main; Jehovah and the Continenta
Congress; "We must all hang together or al
hang seDaratey." So we can appreciate wha
an interesting and precious thing would be ar
epigramlnatic history Of the world war.

CARRY THE CROSS.

The Red Cross society urges all its members
to continue working as hard as ever.
There are still many sick and wounded sol
diers. and the need for work among the pitiful
refugees of Europe is unlimited, while our boys
remaining abroad for garrison duty will need
looking after more than ever.
ANY plea or suggestion from this society de
serves immediate response, for its work of mercy
is boundless It would be terrible pity if now,
after all that has been accomplished, its effici-
ency should be weakened by lack of enthusiasm
while there is still so much to be done.
