EDITOR DOES NOT WANT
BUSINESS OF THE DISLOYAL

Declaring that he does not want the
business OF dislayal citizens of hi,
community, L. w. Cobb, editor of the
Crystal Lake Herald, in the last is
sue of his paper, published a ringing
and uncompromising statement of the
position which he has taken and OK
poets to maintain on the subject Of
the war.
Mr.. Cobb's statement was made in
response to q letter which he had re-
ceived from the pastor of the local
Lutheran church criticising a write-up
which had appeared in the Herald OF
fight between two citizens, one OF
whom it was declared had been dis
playing in his home a picture of the
Kaiser, with the slogan Deutschland
Uber Allies" The minister complained
that stories of this kind in the paper
would breed sedition and riot.
Mr.. Cobb, in his reply, which he pub
lished in his paper, showed that there
was nothing in the story in question
that could possibly have the effect
suggested by the minister and then he
proceeded to express his opinion of
the writer of the letter and others
who, he declared, had shown a dispo-
sition to object to every criticism OF
the Kaiser and his "war lords"
~ wish To say to the people of this
community" says Editor Cobb in the
course of his announcement, shat l
have been asked several times if /
was not afraid that by publishing
matter relative to the Kaiser and his
host of murderers that my newspaper
would lose patronage. To such !
have replied and here publicly state
that if there is anyone who takes this
paper who does not like the fact that
It is doing everything within its power
to support our government in the
carrying on Of the war, the sooner he
withdraws his patronage the better
this newspaper will like it. If there
are not enough patriotic, upright,
loyal American citizens in this COM
munity to support this institution in
the stand it has taken, the sooner l
find it out the better. When this news
paper cannot exist on the patronage
of loyal American citizens we will sell
it for junk, lock up the shop, throw
the key in the lake and be glad to get
out of such community. But de-
spite the fact that the writer means
every word he has set forth above, he
believes that the great majority of the
citizens of German descent, of this as
well as other communities, are loyal
American citizens.
'If there are any that are not the
sooner all such sever their business
relations with US the better we will
be satisfied. The only thing we ask is
that all such, in so doing, be men
enough to state their reason for
withdrawal of their patronage. 1t
would give US great pleasure to OBJ
tain and publish to this community
the names of those who do not like to
see the Herald back up our Govern
ment and our boys who are cheerfully
offering up their lives in its defense"

BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN
PAGE THREE

The war news from the eastern
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portray the gloom
that overhangs the people in the large
cities. That the people in the small
towns and country are equally de-
pressed is not to be doubted.
The Liberty Loan Bond buyers of
the preceding loans have their share
in the success of the entente allies.
They furnished the sinews of war not
only to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equip, and
send our soldiers over, not only to sup
ply them and our allies with food and
munitions, but more than $4,000, 000,-
900 of their money has been loaned
to our allies so that they may prose-
cute the war with vigor and strength.
We here at home have an opportun-
ity to send the Germans some more
bad news. The Germans have great
respect for money; they know its vital
value in waging war. They know, too,
that the support the American people
give a Government loan measures
largely the support they give their
Government, the moral as well as the
financial support they give their ar
mics in the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a
defeat for them on the battle field, and
it will mean as much. 1t spells their
defeat; it breaks their morale; it
means power to their enemies. A sub
scription to the loan is contribution
to German defeat and American vic
tory.

SOME OF THE BITS YOUR
LIBERTY BOND WILL DO

If you buy 500 bond of the Fourth
Liberty Loan you are lending the
United States Government enough
money to feed soldier in France a
little more than seven months. Or,
you have furnished enough money to
give him a complete outfit of winter
and summer clothing, including shoes
and stockings, and slicker and over
coat and blankets, with enough left
over to arm him with a good revolver.
You have done that much to beat back
the Hun.
1t takes $50 more to arm him with
rifle with a bayonet on it, and if
you buy second 800 bond you fur
nish him this rifle and 900 cartridges
for it; and there will still be enough
of your money left to purchase good
sized bomb to throw in dugout, or
demolihs machine gun together with
the Huns operating it.

DOWN
THE OLD GERMANY


I Lately the bronze statue Of the Ger
man poet and novelist Wieland, at
Weimar, was cast into the furnace and
melted down for war material. There
is a dreadful scarcity Of metals in
Germany, especially since the enor-
nous capture of guns, shells and other
materials by Marshal Foch in his Of
fensive between the Marine and the
Aisne. The German Government is
forced to take metal wherever it can
find it; but not before this, we believe,
has it thrown one of its great poets
into the melting pot. In contemplate
ing this episode, and in noting that
among all the statues in Weimar that
of literary man has been selected to
be offered up to Germany's war Mo-
loch, we may well be justified in ask
ing, with the Paris Tempe, whether
this immolation is not typical of the
overthrow of the old romantic and
literary Germany, the Germany of
Goethe, Schiller, Of Herder and VIE
land and the rest, and its replacement
by the Germany Of William II, Of Hin
denberg; Of Won Kissing, of Tirpitz
and the Pam Germans. an breaking
thus" says our Paris contemporary,
with a glorious past, in sacrificing all
its romance and beauty to work Of
detestable hate and megalomania,
Germany has devoured itself and COM
mitted suicide in the eyes of history"
Certainly, it looks that way. The old
Germany is gone, and the sacrifice of

A Bilious Attack

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible headache.
Take three Of Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost a
quarter. Obtainable everywhere. (adv)
