continue their democratic form of gov ernment and preserve unto them selves their hard-earned liberties with opportunity to improve them and thus contribute to the betterment of all mankind, or shall the attainments of centuries-old struggles for freedom and liberty be blasted into oblivion by ruthless military caste and all the peo- pie of the world be menaced and ruled by the tyranny of triumphant military despotism? That is the great underlying principle to be determined and the one that has caused millions of men to be gripped in a death strus- gle, the enormity and hellfury vio- lence of which Is unprecedented in the worlds history and beyond the power of human mind to fully compre- bend On one side are arrayed the legions of a military caste, driven to battle by the mailed list of Autocracy. On the other side are the forces of Democracy heroically answering the challenge to do battle in defense of liberty, justice and humanity. Into this crucible of horror America has cast her lot with the forces of Dem ocracy and summoned her sons to help throw of the yoke of threatened Autocracy so that the peoples of all the nations of the world shall be free to follow the tenor of their own de- sign. .
 Our Solemn Obligation.
 The momentous decision of our Gov e-nment to throw the nations re- sources into this mighty conflict and to give of her sons, and of her wealth, to the cause of humanity, imposes upon every American and upon every mar who has partaken of America s bounty the solemn obligation of loyal ty in doing their part to win victory for the cause America represents, no matter whether they be found as sol diers in the battle lines or as work CTS in industrial pursuits.
 The full significance of this awful cataclysm that has overtaken the world and orr relation thereto is, as yet by us. scarcely realized. though thousands of our countrymen are now in the battle lines and myriads more are preparing to follow. These, our countrymen, the select of America, scholars, college men, professionals of all the arts and trades, and ciences, sons of the rich and sons of the poor, men who love life as well as we but who prefer liberty to life without lib- erty, have made common cause and entered the lists in answer to the na- tion's needs. These men. every one a hero, with the courage of Spartans and the souls of martyrs, go to the battle grounds to face every death dealing device human brain can devise for the destruction of man and offer their lives in defense of democracy and the freedom of the peoples of the world, and they will do this with the full knowledge that millions of their kind have already been ruined physi. cally and mentally and left to suffer a living death, while other millions have blasted into bits and their shreds trampled into the muck and mire oi this laundering inferno of death and destruction. Upon these who stay al home will .devolve the obligation o1 making it possible for those at the front to have lighting chance.

SMALL BONDHOLDER
 MISSES POINT AS TO
 VIRTUAL TAX ESCAPE
Investor Should Realize All Issues He owns Are Practically Free
 From Taxation.

Financiers studying the market con ditions with regard in particular to Liberty Bond figures find that great many of the bond transactions are mi tiated by Iersons who do not under stand the statutes which safeguard the various issues of bonds.
 For instance, small holders have been selling their and AZ per cent bonds in order to buy the 31s per cent bonds of the first loan, because the shs are completely exempt from tax. As matter of fact, for the small in vestor the As and 4As carry the same freedom from taxation. practically. No tax now in existence or later to be levied can affect the 4s and 4As un- less the holder owns $5,000 worth or more.
 Wall Street Opinion.
 Hence, the great majority of the small investors pay no tax on the bonds of the Second or Third issues. The Wall Street Jo1rnal recently said:
 More to be deplored is the general lack of appreciation of the ultimate value of the Liberty Bond, no matter ot what description. All the econohh- ics of war ard finance point to govern ment bonds as the most far-sighted and soundest inveetment 2 person can make during these times. Investing in government bonds now is buying with cheap money ball on doar money in the futuF&s
