Binghamton, \. Y, Jan. The big
Starrucca viaduct of the Erie railroad
came within four inches of being blown

mammoth structure. one of the largest
viaducts in the world.
Adelbert ople, the day watchman. dis
covered the bomb embedded in the loose
stones at the westerly end. His atten-
tion was attracted by the CLINT of tin
reflected by the sun. Upon picking up
the bomb he found that the fuse attached
TO it had been lighted, but had gone out
with but four inches remaining.
The bomb. which was well made, iIas
been turned over to the Erie officials.

One great, big days drive for the
ten thousand dollars for the second
Red Cross hundred million dollar
fund, could get the whole sum the
county is asked for. 1t would be a
great thing for the county to ego
over the top" in one day! When
Judge w. w. Johnson gets his COM
mittees organized and they get to
work in earnest, this ten thousand
dollar apportionment will be soon in
hand. Union County has a reputa-
tion now, for doing things in great
style. She must and will live up to
the reputation. The fact is, this time
1t is going to be easier than the first
drive, far easier. Our people, old and
young, know more about the organ-
zation than they formerly knew; be-
sides, we have more urgent need than
formerly for the aid the Red Cross
renders, for our very own boys are
on the firing line, and, many of them
are going to need just the help that
this great organization can and will
render. 1t has a personal relation
this time that was lacking before.
Lets all fall in and get this ten
thousand dollars subscribed in a day
or two. The first days drive, MAY
30 should see at it's close, practically
the whole sum raised.
1t is too late in the day to argue
with people as to this great work.
Anyone now ignorant Of its place in
the great war and it's great appeal as
an institution Of mercy is too far
gone to deserve the wasting of. words.
He is too sordid to be reached by any
appeal and too hopeless for any use.
Let all the live ones, men and wo-
men with vision, with hearts of
mcrcy--let all these come together
and put this ten thousand dollars up
on the altar Of useful, merciful SER
vice to humanity.

The county chairman of the Third
Liberty Loan campaign, Col. T. c.
Duncan, has announced that Union
County subscribed $375,OOO to the
bonds, that sum being more than twice
the allotment of this county, and
thereby, the county not only gets a
flag, but a flag with star. Union
County was asked for $175,OOO and
went over double that sum by $25,OOO
1t was splendid achievement, and re-
fleets credit upon those in charge of
the campaign and upon the citizen
ship of the county. Union County is
so in the habit of doing her part that
it would be surprising indeed if she
feH down on any worthy movement.
Now come out Saturday afternoon
and see the flag raised at the court
housse-the county flag with a star.
Also the Union fag-for there is to be
two flags raised here Saturday.

yet fighting heroically, almost with
super human resistance, has challang-
ed the admiration of the world and
put rock wall in the face of the in
vaders. France has fought our bat
ties, giving men, money, and all that
is of value to save civilization from
the dominion of imperialism, and it
is beautiful thing to do-wipe out
the debt in money that she owes us
This money France borrowed of us to
| fight the battles that are as much ours
as theirs. If France had not fought
valiantly we would already be bat
tling with the foe upon our own
shores. If we had not loaned France
money, France would ere this, have
been crushed, probably Since the
world began there has been no more
glorious struggle than that put up
by the French. We say, wipe out the
debt-give France a clean receipt as
an expression of good will and of a
deep and abiding expression of our
appreciation; let the world see how
little we count dollars when it comes
to manhood. Let all the world see
that we are not the commercial, un-
scrupulous money grabbers that we
have been pictured, but that while we
roll up the millions we as yet are able
to distinguish manhood and to place
it above dollars.
Yes, we have millions-wealth piled
upon wealth-and we have the ability,
energy and skill to make these mil
liops grow. But here is an opportun-
ity that comes by which we may show
that big money is not necessarily a
co-partner with greed and selfishness.
l have often wondered what would
bSNoiHS VI IL as d IldIlOIl we con-
tinued to grow richer and richer; 1
have wondered why God gave us SO
great wealth; 1 am beginning to un-
derstand now! When the greatest
crisis of the world has come, when the
whole earth is blazing ball of fire,
when the time is ripe and need great,
we are given the opportunity to do
one of the biggest, most generous
things ever yet accomplished by
money-make gift more than
princely-more fabulous than any
Croesus dream the world ever had
to show how bountiful the spirit of
generosity and of unselfishness can
be!
Let our Congress do this thing, and
do it, freely. 1t will be the first time
that America, the now one great peo-
pie, has spoken, and it will be in
terms that will be heard down the
ages.
