POOR, But PATRIOTIC.

Washington.-A man too poor tC
buy a Liberty Bond today offered the
Treasury his most priced possession
gold dollar given him by Abraham
Lincoln in 1850 at Nation, Ill, to be
auctioned off and the receipts turned
into bonds. Writing to- Secretary
McAdoo, he said;
Uncle Abe jokingly put his hand
on my shoulder and said:
George. you will vote for me,
won't you?"
II said, 4 can't, Uncle Abe, because
you are a Republican and l am a
Democrat
"He burst into a big laugh and
said:
George, am going to give you n
present for your honesty
HE put his hand in his pocket and
pulled out gold dollar and gave it to
me. l have been offered $4,000 for
that dollar, and prize it very highly,
but l will send it to you and will let it
go at any price to get Liberty Bond
to help the boys in France"
The Treasury now is trying to find
a way of disposing of the Lincoln dol
lar.

OF the Governments plans "to divorce
Germany permanently from American

by A. Mitchell Palmer, Custodian of

here May under the auspices of the
National Security League. Accepting
the leagues invitation to speak, Mr..
Palmer wrote from Washington

'Germany's Industrial Army on

good opportunity to disclose the re-

mere matter of detail.
Parents and friends should be

Germany's design is now clearly to make Fin

nounced, semi-authoritatively, that Oscar, the
kasers fifth son. has been selected for the throne,
and that the Aland islands are to be made Sec
pnd Heligoland, with position and power to shoot
up anything coming out of Norway and Sweden.
That Germany meditates some sort of a cleanup
is plainly indicated by the sudden and unanimous
attack, by the German newspapers, on Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, on the ground that they have
been strongly leaning toward the entente.
But can you blame the king of Prussia? When
you re in the Ringing business and have hung on till
a lot of sons have grown up, you've got to go hunt

A Baby Kidnapped

One wee baby can move whole city
One empty cradle can stir the hearts OF thou
sands to pity-and anger.
One baby! Just six pounds of six-day old hui
manity Yet so helpless, so innocent, so utterly
dependent the world of grownups, that he can
take first place in the mind of a city for day.
Something has happened to this tiny pink and
white bundle of helplessness He has disappeared
.-stOlen!
Immediately war news drops back to second
place. The fate of Russia is overshadowed. The
campaigns of candidates are buried for time.
Americans are fighting over there. Some OF them
can't you hear?-
We pause in sorrow as we picture the father
bending over the empty basket where his newest
born slept only yesterday.
We are genuinely angry. To think that any one
could commit such deed! We demand punish
ment for the guilty one.
Oh the thousands of babies of Belgium, OF
France of England! Helpless babies, murdered in
cold blood! Innocent babies torn from their
mothers by the hand of savagery! Hungry babies,
always crying, with pale mouths opened, pleading
Tor life! Lusitania babies sent to their death with
out mercy! Babies bombed from the air while at
play! Babies neglected, hungry, fading like torn
buds-crying always crying out to the world OF
grown-ups.
And will no one listen? Is no one moved?
Shame on the American man woman who is
not overwhelmed with pity, whose blood does not
boil in anger-who does not hate with all the pas
sion that is in him-as France hates baby-rob-
ters and baby-murderers
What if they were your neighbors' babies, and
your babies?
