Denounces Swindlers.
Mr.. McAdoo also condemned the
practice of "swindlers and unscrup-
ulous and unpatriotic people. who,
contrary to the urgent request of
the Treasury department, had in
duced holders of Liberty bonds to
exchange them for stocks or invest
ments of doubtful value"
He pointed out that these opera
tons forced the treasury to buy the
bonds thus thrown upon the mar
ket, in order to protect the market
and the credit of the government.
Asserting that Everybody should
buy bonds" Mr.. McAdoo continued:
Wages and salaries are higher in
America today than ever before in
its history. Those who spend every
thing they earn are not only living
in FOOLS paradise, but they are
doing a grievous injury to their
country. Every dollar saved now
and invested in Liberty bonds will
be worth much more when peace
comes again.
What we must do in America is
to keep the pressure high. Now
that we have the kaiser and his
brutal hordes on the run. let US not
relax effort, but intensity effort.
mo man can shirk his duty with
out mourning the just apprehension
of public opinion" concluded the

Endorsed by Senators

Washington, Sept. 24.-In begin

Among members of the committee,

little opposition to the plan to raise
by taxation third of the $24,-
000,000,000 it is estimated the gov
eminent will need this fiscal year.
Increased estimated expenditures
for the army, Senator Simmons said,

Seeking Shelter for Var Worker,

Seeking Shelter for Var Workers.
Appeals to the householders Of this
city to take more roomers and board
ers are to be made through the medium
Of q squad Of soldiers from nearby
camps, who will go from door to door
with this request. This will bring the
necessity directly before the people Of
the city in a dramatic manner.
There should be no feeling that the
government is seeking to force the
to open their doors, sim
ply because men in uniform appear
at the doors with the statement that
there is urgent need Of additional hous-
ing accommodations for the newcoming
war workers. These soldiers will sim
ply represent the need, and it will be
up to the people who have rooms to
spare to respond if they will, as mat
ter Of patriotic service.
Although feeling may prevail that
than are absolutely necessary, the fact
remains that they are here, and that
more are coming, and that until an
adjustment Of the forces can be made
there will be need for the accommo-
dation Of many more people than have
thus far been housed comfortably. Il
il not for the householder to decide
whether or not the government is
prodigal in the employment Of persons.
A disposition prevails in some quar-
tiers to prefer man roomers to woman,
and the result is that the women who
come are finding much moro trouble
getting placed than the men. With
out going into the reasons for this dis
elimination, it should be borne in mind
that everybody who is summoned to
Washington to work for the United
States is entitled, as a matter Of COM
mon consideration for human beings,
to decent shelter. IF there are in
conveniences in putting these people
up for time, they should be cheer
fully borne. I
It is to be hoped that the soldiers,
respectfully and taetfully requesting
the people to open their doors to the
war workers, will disclose enough ac-
commodations to provide for all who
are in need Of shelter.

Hertling and Erzberger at Odds.

The other day The Star suggested
that Herr Erzberger, clerical member
of the reichstag, had withdrawn into
his study for some months to write his
book proposing a league Of nations
to insure peace. There is further evil
dence Of his inattention to current
matters in the absorption Of his liter
ary endeavor. At all events, he is not
"teaming up" with Herr Herting, the
chancellor, who has just addressed the
general committee of the reichstag.
Hertiing in his speech repeated the
German contention that there were
grounds for the fear that "the enemy"
doubtless meaning France, would in
wade Belgium, and referred to alleged
proofs from Belgian archives Of Bel
gums dubious neutrality. In his book
Herr Erzberger says:
"Not a single valid documentary
proof of the intention Of France to
cross the frontier can be produced. It
is even established from the German
side that the French plans Of mobii-
| cation did not provide for entering
Belgium"
Those Belgian archives" taken by
the Germans when they entered Brus-
sells, have served Germany well here
tofore. They have never been sub
mitted to impartial scrutiny, however,
and are of the most questionable char
acter. No court Of law would admit
them as evidence unless established
for commences by the most explicit
proof. Herr Erzberger apparently
does not accept them. On the con-
trary, he points to evidence in Ger
man hands of a positively contrary
nature.
That claim that Germany had to
strike first because France was intend
| ing to strike has been worn out. It is
astonishing that the German states
men should continue to take the trou-
BILE to recite it. But probably it has
become sort of obsession, and part
Of the formula Of justification which
must be repeated for the moral ef-
feet upon the German people. Doubt
must have crept into the German mind
rather dangerously, else the chancellor
would not, in the face of solemn
statement by so eminent a member of
the reichstag as Erzberger, reiterate
the absurd claim Of self-defense.

Criticism and the Government.

VI1tlClSm 6UO tUG 0OvSIUmCUts
In his address at Springfield the
other day before the Illinois republican
state convention Gov. Lowden said:
"There is a great deal Of discussion
these days as to the right to criticise
the government. I think the rule to
be followed is a simple one.
It is our duty to make suggestions
if we discover q fault somewhere to
point out the fault and attempt 70 cor
rect it. OF course, we agree with the
proposition that to discuss things that
are already in the limbo Of the past,
and that cannot now be remedied, is
of no avail. think the test is this:
If our criticism will help us to win tho
war, then it is our patriotic duty to
criticise. If the purpose Of our criti-
cism is simply to embarrass and to
harass the government, then think it
is our duty to keep silent"
This was timely. Discussion, in Con-
gress and on the stump, has been grow
ing in freedom and directness Of late.
Some sharp things have been said
about the administration, and have
been as sharply replied to by those
speaking for the administration.
Gov. Lowdea aas stated tho cssc
clearly and fairly. The right to criti-
else inheres in our form Of govern
ment. Deprived Of it, or severely lin
tied as to its exercise, the people and
their representatives in Congress would
be helpless. The whole question re-
lates to the object criticism has in
view, and the shape it is made to take.
Criticism offered in the proper
spirit and terms has accomplished much
good since this country entered the
war; and all the more good because
entirely devoid of partisanship. Demo-
Gratis and republicans have united in
pointing out delays and mistakes which
in their opinion should be corrected
at once, and which have been correct
ed as the result Of the exposure. A
democratic senator, Mr.. Chamberlain,
led of, and was followed BY other son
stors on his side Of the chamber and
by republican senators, al speaking
for . vigorous prosecution Of the war,
and pledging tho President every as
sistanee.
There sre very few men-none in
ofice-wno no today trying to embsr-
rass tho government in the matter Of
the war. Anti-war manifestations are
confined to small groups Of socialists
and other small groups Of frankly pro-
claimed pacifsts, who meet and ex-
haust themselves in speeches and reso-
lutions. They are making no progress.
In but few instances hsve they drawn
the fire Of the authorities. In the

Take Another Bond!

In contemplating the possibility of
taking another liberty bond every per-
son should remember that in this war
victory will be won by the side that
lasts longest in strength. It will not
necessarily 60 to the side that starts
with the greatest energy.
The primary purpose of taking lib
erty bonds is to insure victory, by pro-
viling the means whereby this gov
eminent can raise and maintain its
armies in the field and supply the al
lies with the necessary funds lacking
from their own resources.
This is to be the fourth Of the great
national loans, and it will not be the
last. Moro money will be required as
the war continues, in large sums. Tax
alton will provide certain amount of
cash for current expenses, but not
enough for the gigantic undertaking
in hand. Bonds are necessary, and if
they mount to the hundred-billion
point, or even beyond, they must be
sold, and there is no one to buy them,
no one to provide the cash, but the
, American people.
Possibly there are many who are still
paying for bonds of the third issue !;
perhaps some are still paying for those
of the second. But that will not JUS
tify failure to take bonds Of the fourth
: issue. If to take this fourth bond
means some privation, some depriva-
tion, some trouble, the duty to con-
tribute to the governments war
strength remains.
Men who have entered the military
ranks are offering everything they
possess, even their lives, for the win
ming of the war. Those who remain
at home, who are not of military age,
or have some physical deficiency, or
are engaged in some essential work,
should at least offer their money, es-
pecia1ly as they are assured Of its re-
turn.
Sacrifice and privation now to the
end Of victory is the least the Ameri-
can citizen can ohfer,s IF taking an
other bond means cutting down some
expense, going without some pleasure,
walking instead Of riding daily, re-
manning at home in the evening in
stead of going out to spend money,
take the bond, and remember the near
~ two million Americans on the other
side who are facing death and suffering
the most dreadful hardships.
This war will be won by the pennies
Of the people who save and sacrifice.
Be one of those people and take an
other bond. And take it promptly, 50
that Washington will 60 over the top

h may be confidently assumed that
the fourth liberty loan campaign will
be in all essential features just about
like the other three, excepting possibly
that the public, being more familiar
with the procedure, will work faster.
