WHAT VOLUNTEER
DAYS REALLY MEAN
Volunteer Subscriptions, Sept.
2S and %, Will Be big Impe-
tus for 4th Loan Cam
paign.

One OF the principal reasons
why the Liberty Loan Organi-
cation has designated Septem-
Der % and 20 as Volunteer
Days" is to give a final and def
mite answer to the German
claims that America is not sol,
idly behind the war. 1t is ex-
pected that the subscriptions,
great and small, to the
country's call for funds on
those two days will furnish 3
reply which will be like a blow
between the eyes to the Kaiser
and his advisors
Thousands of prospective sub
scribers to the Fourth Liberty
Loan have signifed they want
the satisfaction of applying for
their quotas without solicitation.
They can display their patriot
ism more effectively by coming
forward unasked and signing up
than waiting for the solicitor.
On Sunday, September 20,
clergymen Of all denominations
will make strong appeals to
their congregations in favor of
the loan. Their theme will be
the necessity of backing our
warriors in France by supplying
the financial requirements of the
Government. Exhortations for
the day will be to save soldiers
rather than souls.
Business houses are encourag-
ing their employees to swell the
number of subscribers on the
two volunteer days. A mighty
impetus is expected to be given
to the entire drive by example
of the thousands who will surge
forward to set example for the
millions who will constitute rank
and file Of buyers of the new
loan.
1t is expected that schools
throughout this district and ovel
the entire country will feature
the two-day period of prelimina.
ry subscriptions. Teachers anC
principals will explain the mean.
ing of the movement, and EN-.
phasize the significance of going
over the top early with sub.
scriptions. Children will be urg.
ed to impart to parents ant
friends the news of the volun.
teer days.
There will be work in abund.
ance for the army of solicitors
when the actual drive gets un.
der way, and a bulky showing
in names and totals will hell
these workers in an inestimabl,
degree in drawing the subscrip
tons later on which will swell
the quotas of the various dis
tricts, and finally put the LOAF
as a whole across with gustc
and acclaim far exceeding tina
of the preceding issues.
Volunteering on the two day
does not only mean s~pecifcall,
buying bonds, but as well in
cludes giving every sort of un
solicited service to make tn
loan a success, Every man, won
an and child in the country
should become a working unit t
boost subscriptions. Everyone
expected to tell to his friend
all he knows good about Libert
Bonds as an investment and
patriotic service, and to leave n
= stone unturned to promote thei

DELINQUENCY AS A DISEASE

THE Indiana Constitution. we believe
L was the first to set forth the modern
theory that the purpose OF criminal courts
is to reform the criminal rather than to
punish him.
The most advanced penologists of the
present day accept this theory. 1t has
been acted upon by the Municipal Court
in this city, which has just established a
department of diagnosis in charge Of a
group of able physicians. whose duty it is
to examine the delinquents to discover
whether they are physically or mentally
defective and to suggest methods Of cure
when the defects are durable.
The normal human being is not a crimis
nal. He obeys the laws. He respects the
rights of others and respects himself and
adjusts himself to the conditions around
him There is something wrong with the
criminal. 1t may be only incomplete
education. A boy who has had no proper
training and has been thrown among evil
companions will contract the disease Of
crime JUS. as he will contract typhoid
fever or mumps when exposed to conta-
sion or when he takes into his system the
disease germs.

REGISTRATION FOR HOME LIBERTIES

NSHE Government counts primarily on

count primarily on indifference to secure
| a slim registration on the days when all
| citizens of Philadelphia must qualify for
casting their ballots for Governor in No

| chised. high spirit of devotion to demo-
cratic institutions will prompt millions of
| Americans to sign up for their country
on the great military registration day. 1t
is not the fear of punishment which will
move these men to be loyal They would
be ashamed in this instance to be other
wise.
And yet the political bosses. ever quick
to see that all their henchmen are duly
qualified for voting, count deliberately
every year the indifference of citizens
with regard to purely political registration.
Thousands q Philadelphians, often the
very men willing to lay down their lives
for freedom neglect to safeguard their
franchise. Were the privilege of claiming
1t denied them, the chorus of protests
would be agonizing. AS citizens may regis

The citizen Of Philadelphia who fails to
register on any one OF the three specified
days-September 5. September II and Oc-
tober will be barred from voting for
Governor of Pennsylvania in the Novem-
Der election. On the principle that free
dom, like everything else, should begin at
home, the requirements of political regis
tration days should be needed in the same
spirit as that in which a man makes him
self available for the army of liberty.
Nothing would give the bosses more dis
comfort than to see this fall on the voting
list the name of every Phiadephian over
twenty-one.

The Yanks Chum Up With
Their Allies

0NE of the most familiar forms of Ger.
man propaganda Is to spread among
the people at home rumors that the sol.
diers Of the different Allies do not get on
we'll together. Every now and then you
will overhear in the smoking car or on
street corners some such remark as this:
"They tell me that the Yanks and the
Tommies can't endure each other" The
gross absurdity and untruth Of these false.
hoods are contradicted by all reports from
the men on the spot.
An excellent illustration of the cordiality
and good humor prevailing between our
men and their Allies on the other side is
afforded by the following quotations from
recent letters from Corporal Sherman G
Coates, Of this city, which his father
print
After landing in England early last May
Sherman Coates wrote from Folkestone:
The people are very cordial and hos
pitable. think we are Going to
get on finely with the Tommes. They are
as much interested in seeing IL We know
anything as we are in learning it from
them"
A week later from France:

chateau, where had a bully .ime with a
fine bunch of Tommies who were billeted
there. The course was rather intensive,
