A SOLDIERS APPEAL

Those Yho have yet to buy a Lib erty bond should read this stirring, straightforward appeal from an Amer jean in uniform, who simply styles himself Citizen Soldier No. 25S." It ought to awaken a generous response from even the most cold-hearted citi- zen:
 They say, who have come back from over there, that at night the troubled earth between the lines is Carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whistling in every wind, and that the very mists are charged with torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there yOung human lie is held least dear.
 It is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of our mothers goodbye kiss. But, please God, our ol right. In this renaissance of our country's valor we who will edge the wedge of her assault make calm ac- ceptance of it's hazards. For us, the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold -weariness, hardship, worse. For you, for whom we go, you millions safe at home-what for you?
 we shall need clothes for our bod ies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without fail ure supplies and equipment in stream that is constant and never ending. From you, who are our re source and reliance, who are the hear and hope of that humanity for whicf we smite and strive, must come these things"
 This appeal strikes home. It say everything; it leaves nothing unsaid It appeals to ones conscience, ant that after all must be the determinfn factor in defining every citizens duty

LABOR STRIKE
 AS PROTEST IN
 MOONEY'S CASE

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Senator Poindexter of Washington made the announcement in the senate yesterday that Seattle labor leaders are propos- ing general strike in protest against the alleged persecution of Thomas Mooney, convicted of murder in San Francisco in connection with the pre- paredness parade.
 The statement of Senator Poindex- ter has drawn from Samuel Gompers, president of the American federation of Labor, the assertion that any at tempt to incite such a strike, in vio. latiOn of union laws, would be repug- nant to the rights and interests of the workers themselves and would react against Mooney.
 Seattle labor leaders say the action taken thus far has not been at the instance of the leaders, but is forced by the sentiment of the rank, and file of the labor union membership. The strike, if called, probably would last but single day.

WE MUST WIN THE WAR

Our present and immediate task is to win the war, and nothing shall turn US aside from it until it is accom- pIished."
 Mir. Wilson said it, but as usual, he was uttering the heart-throb of a na- ton never more in earnest in a gigan, tic undertaking.
 We must not turn aside to criticize, to spend our time on personal grOuches; to take thought of personal gain or to impede the great war ma chine we are perfecting.
 Every other national function must stand in abeyance until this machine goes forth and wins Nothing shall turn us aside.
 The faith bespoken in those words is inspired, and our nation will be worthy.
 The third Liberty loan is presented 10 this nation. We understand that our present and immediate task is to win the war, and nothing shall turn us aside from it until it is accom- plished, and we can think of no other possibility but that the third Liberty loan will be speedily oversubscribed.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-The last statutory move in the fight to save Thomas J. Mooney from execu- tiOn has been made.
 Counsel for the defense have filed with Governor William D. Stephens lengthy brief supporting Moneys application for pardon from the death sentence imposed upon him after his conviction on a murder charge which grew out of the preparedness parade bomb explosion here in 1916.
 Moneys application for pardon was based on alleged irregular testt- mony of prosecution witnesses at his trial. It was filed after every legal method to obtain new trial had been eXhausted-after the state supreme court had ruled that State Attorney General U. S. Webbs consent" to a new trial could not be considered, as it dealt with phases of the case out side the record of the trial" and after the same court had overruled an ap- peal based on a claim of reversible error and insuffciency of evidence.
 Pardon was requested in order that Mooney might be retried on one of the eight murder charges pending against him in connection with the explosion.
 Mooney does not ask commuta- tion of his sentence. It is submitted that the only redress available to him is a pardon, that he may have the benefit of trial by jury who may know ali of the facts bearing upon his case" the brief stated.
 Interest in Moneys case was worldwide. It was investigated by special presidential mediation com mission, which recommended to Presi- dent Wilson that he be given a new trial It drew two messages from the President to Governor Stephens.
 The contents of the first of theseI has never been divulged- The secondI asked that executive cIemency bel extended to Mooney. The case drew requests from Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor; Andrew Furuseth, president of the International Seamens Union, and other labor leaders. It was made the subject of many resolutions by labor unions throughout the country, which asked that new trial 9 granted In Petrograd, details of the case were disseminated, and the rev olutionists who effected Czar Nich- olas' overthrow made a demonstration against the American embassy. An election to recall District Attorney Charles M. Fickert, which grew out of Mooney's case, failed.

MICHIGAN GOES DRY LAST DAY
 OF THIS MONTH

DETROIT, Mich, April 23.-When Michigan goes dry at midnight on April 30, a total of 3,285 saloons in the state must go out of business and sixty-two breweries are. prohib- ited from manufacturing beer or any intoxicating liquor. At the election in November, 1916, the amendment providing for bone dry" state pro- hibition was adopted by a majority of nearly 10000.
 Manufacturers of and dealers in liquor in Michigan have had eighteen months to dispose of their stock and wind up their business affairs. Michi. gan breweries employed 2,O6O men, while saloons had a total of 6,3S7 per sons. For several weeks saloon men have been taking up other trades, but the movement of labor from the brew cries has not been pronounced
 Some of the breweries will manu- facture soft drinks, and others. it is understood, will turn out distilled products not prohibited by law. A few beer plants will be converted into ice factories.
 According to claims made by the Anti-Saloon League organization in Michigan, approximately 2,338,O0O bushels of grain have been used in the yearly output of the Michigan breweries.
 The internal revenue report for the year ended June 13, 1917 showed that 2,33s.521 barrels of beer were brewed in Michigan that year. Each barrel contained thirty-one gallons, and it has been estimated that bushel of grain is used to make a barrel of beer.
 The latest figures from the census department concerning the liquor in dustry in Michigan give the following details: Capital invested, $12,384,- 900; salaries paid, $558,OO0; wages paid, $1,O73,OOO; cost of materials, $2,421, ,0OO; value of products, $9,84O,- GOO; value added by manufacturer, $7419,0OO.
 One of the Anti-SaIoon League ar guments against the liquor industry in Michigan has been the amount of coal consumed Last winter, when Michigan industries were operated un- der stringent coal conservation ulIes, many schools throughout the state had to close.
 It has been claimed that Michigan breweries used more than q quarter of a million tons of coal during the last year covered by the internal rev-i enue report. This estimate is partly based on a statement credited to F. D. Leach, assistant state fuel admin istrator of Ohio, who was quoted as saying that reports indicated that Ohio breweries consumed practically pound of coal to brew a prnt of beer.
 If it is correct, Michigan breweriesI would have consumed about 280,000I tons of coal to turn out 561, ,245, ,0fGI pints of beer in the year f916-17.
