OUR LITTLE PART

Our boys in France have proved
their courage and efficiency as fight
ing men by hating the onslaught of
the picked veteran troops of the Ger
man army and hurting them back to
ward their own frontier This DEM
onstration of their prowess has
brought the end of the war in sight
and has made certain the ulti-
mate defeat of the central powers
provided that the people in the Unit
ed States furnish an adequate and
uninterrupted supply of munitions,
food and money, TO enable the allied
armies to keep up a constant ham
mering against the foe. If we at
home relax our efforts or falter. the
allied offensive will of necessity halt
and falter.
The Fourth Liberty Loan affords
to every American, not in the service,
the opportunity to prove his patriot
ism and love of country. The morn
ing the drive opens the signal will be
given for the folks at homo to 20
over the top. The objective which
they are expected to attain is $4,000
100000. The quota allotted 10 each
community is its objective. Every
effort should be made to reach this
objective in the shortest possible
time. When our boys we're ordered
to wipe out the st. Mihiel sector
they did it in "a hours, although the
high command expected that the OPP
GRAFTON would require two or three
days. The people of every commun
ity should emulate this example anC
subscribe their quota OF Libert,
Bonds within "a hours, If possible, OF
within the first week of the drive a
the latest.
The quicker the loan is subscribe,
the harder will be the blow to tn,
morale of the German army and PEG
pie. They have been deceived by as
surances that the United States would
not fight; that If this nation did figh
1t could not raise and equip an arm,
Oh any size; that even if it did sue
coed in raising and equipping a Iarg
army 1t could not be transported I
france; that in case an America
army should succeed in reaching tn
'front.' 1t would be SO unframed an

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was
one of the most noted of modern Ger
man philosophers. How much has
his philosophy affected the views and
character of the Germans of today?
Is not the answer written in the
blood of the women and children, the
old men of occupied France and Bel
GUM? Are not the Lusitania victims
witnesses to German adoption of
Nietzche's faith?
Here is his indictment of Chris
tianity:
with this / conclude, and pro-
nounce my sentence: l condemn
Christianity. To me it is the great
est of all imaginable corruptions. The
church is the great parasite; with its
anemic idea of holiness it drains life
Of all its strength, its love, and its
hope. The other world is the motive
for the denial of every reality. |
call Christianity the one great curse,
the one great intrinsic deprayity, the
one great instinct of revenge, for
which no expedient is sufficiently
poisonous, secret, underhand, to gain
its ends. l call it the one immortal
shame and blemish upon the human
race

THE FIRST NIGHT IN CAMP

I'm here with two thin blankets,
AS thin as a slice of ham.
A German spy was likely the guy
Who made them for Uncle Sam.
How did l sleep? Don't kid me;
My bed tick is filled with straw,
And Jumps and humps and big fat
bumps
That punched me till I'm raw.
Me and my two thin blankets,
AS thin as the last thin dime,
AS thin, l guess, as a chorus girls
dress,
Well, had hell Of time.
I'd pull up from the bottom
(My nighties my B. V. Ds.)
A couple O. yanks to cover my shanks
And then my dogs would freeze.
You could use 'em for porous plast-
ers.
Or maybe to strain the soup.
My pillows my shoes when try to
snooze
And I've chillblains, cough and the
Group.
Me and my two thin blankets
Bundled up under my chin;
Yes, a German spy was likely the
guy,
And, gosh, but he made them thin

ARE YOU A CORK?

A little cork fell in the path of a
whale,
Who dashed it down with his angry
tail,
But In spite of the blows, it quickly
arose,
And floated serenely before his nose.
Said the cork, you may flap and spat-
ter and rap,
But you can never keep me down,
For l am made OF the stuff that is
bOuyant enough
To float instead of to drown.

Captain John Fitzgerald was selected

Sullivan's luck, always bad when it
came to the choice of a position for
fighting, held to tradition, for Kilrain
won the toss and chose the corner
which placed his back to the sun.
Sullivan was forced to approach the
scratch with the sun in his eyes. The
day was suffocatingly hot and the
fact that Kilrain had won the right
to fight with HIS back to the sun was
no small advantage. The day was
cloudless.
When Sullivan stripped for the

uaughts of the fstic seas are maneu-
vering in battle array today. What
ever comes of a series of conferences
the first decisive conflict in three
wears among the heayies appears at
hand.
Here are the items in today's bud
get OF ring news:
Jess Willard has signed with Col.
J. c. Miller, a circus associate, to
meet somebody somewhere July four,
presumably for ten rounds.
Fred Fulton, persistent challenger,
wants to be a second man in the
ring and is in Kansas City urging his
claims in a conference with Miller.
The honor of staging the bout Will
be going, going, gone to the highest
bidder. With the announcements still
in swaddling clothes, offers Of $780,.
900 are rumored.
A Fulton-Dempsey row is assured
IL Jess finds a reason for turning
down a match with the Minnesota
mud mixer.
The outstanding feature Of that
budget is Wizards permitting some
one to sign him up. After about three
years of great side-stepping he
actually seems about to step in for
some toe to toe work. That his latest
offer isn't a "dud' seems assured
when YOU recall Miller is practically
a business associate willing to let
Jess keep two or three fingers in the
promotional pie.

him around the waist, swung him
clean from the ground and threw him
