 "It is such a splendid and inspiring thing to make such wonderful sacrifices as the people of this broad land have made during the past 20 months that we have been at war For we are filled with patriotic pride, when we know these sacrifices are freeing the world of ma licious and wicked autocracy, and glvlns liberty to all mankind.
 "The great force of men and money that has been gathered together to win this titanic struggle is force for good, because, with this force, we shall rescue our allies from the clutches of that hor- rible German autocracy, and restore to them their land and country. We are eoinS to the rescue of our allies when they are bleeding and full of pain, and it is the hour of their greatest need
 Our worthy and most excellent Presi- dent MT Woodrow Wilson, did every thing in his power to avert this hor- rible war. Even when peoples of other nations, as well as in our own nation, were questioning his courage, and the pain stricken belligerent nations were crying out to him for helDs he knew they sorely needed him to bring the great force" of America to their aid or the cause of democracy would be lost. and even our own great land would be invaded by this monster enemy, the imperial German government"
 "Our sense of pride was shocked. Our rights were invaded and trespassed upon, and our country where so many citizens of Germany were allowed to live and prosper was used to aid their fiendish undertakings. Hence, our worthy Presi- dent, after mature and deliberate consid- erations, taking into account every ram ification, told the imperial German gov ernment to stop trespassing upon the rights of American citizens. and to leave neutral nations alone, Nand to stop their practice of crime. But the imperial German government laughed at him, fol they thought America was bluffing anG would not fight But the most glorious thing we have to report is, that 103,. 1 00o000 patriotic American citizens have backed up the President in his chal lenge to the imperial German govern ment.

 for that great and free country 10 deliver itself body and soul to the cen tral powers and the very terms of that alliance protected them from being in- volved in any responsibility for an az gressive war, and in my humble Judg-

N NICE the preliminary plans, organis
 zation and general conduct of the 8l fourth Liberty Loan drive began
 some months ago. the treasury de- artment at Washington has sent out the est talent in this country to tell our peo- swhy we ought to lend our money to the svovernment; statesmen of high degree, rhen of world fame, have offered their services to the government to help with this gigantic undertaking; not the least of the really big men wko have volun- teered their talents and services to the fourth Liberty Loan drive is the Hon. Hugh Lee Kirby, of Harpers Ferry. w. Va, a young man of broad intellect, wide business experience and splendid ability It was my pleasure to meet MT. Kirby in New York during a recent visit there, and to count him as my friend. During that time I learned to know something of this young man s accomplishments, the tremendous amount of work with the gov synment that he has done, aside from his own large and varied interests as a business man, successfully negotiating ideals which involve millions of dollars and carrying them through with credit to .nself and his associates.
 Mir Kirby is widely travelled and con- ersant with the governments of nearly very nation in the world, from his own emerica tc Russia, France, England, pain and Italy. Therefore his contribu- ton as one of Uncle Sams most forceful speakers will present the fourth Liberty Loan in a light which is sure to shed radiance and conviction to those who are fortunate enough to come urder it's spell To the Sixth federal reserve district IT. Kirby indites these woros:
 'Your humble servant has been sent to ieliver message to you from the treas ury department of our great government This message is to tell you that the sub sViption books are open for the fourth Asberty Loan, and thus you are afforded the greatest opportunity to subscribe to these new bonds to the very limit of your ability.

 A widespread movement to preserSa national and private property has aroused great interest in the materials which will assist in such preservation Paint Is by far the most important agency in thA protection of exterior surfaces against deterioration through heat and molsture.
