This is the Anniversary of Thousand Murders,
The lips of fathers, mothers, children murdered in
the 'Lusitana sinking, stlled in death And yet
they call, call of the living that today
the high resolve to which-that they may not have
died in vain-we dedicated ourselves
We of the living should speak for them, must
speak for them only through the mouths of cannon
not in revenge in more than righteous anger pray
Godn the divine knowledge that it is entrusted to us
to teach the Hun of today and the possible Hun of to-
that born of the ages there is and ever shall

Right its Ruler against which the forces of Barbarc
Brutality shah not prevail.
Whosoever will not fight for
Right helps to enthrone Wrong
THIS is WHY WE FIGHT!

Our Exportation of Silver

The melting down of the silver dollars in the United States Treasury and the exportation of the bar silver resulting and other silver bullion possess great in- terest to the average American citizen.
 Most of this silver bullion is sent to India, whose people have strong prejudice in favor of metal money, and India is ex- porting a vast amount of materl- al used in the war by England and France, and, in fact, all the entente allies, including our selves.
 To pay for these goods in the money desired by the people of India caused a tremendous drain on the supply of silver of entente  allies, and to meet this urgent demand the United States has taken the great amount of silver bullion and silver dollars lying idle in it's treasury and is export. ing it to India to be used in pay ing for war supplies. Something like a hundred million silver dol lars have boen melted down and exported.
 What great assistance it was to the allies. including the United States. is shown by the state ment Of Sir James Meston, hnan- cial member of the Viceroy's $ Council, who is reported as say ing:
 Probably few people in Amer ica realize how vitally important
 to India and to India share il
