HOW IMMIGRANTS AID LOANS

The large subscriptions of our for
eign-born population, especially Ger
mans, to the Third Liberty Loan is a
triumph both for the United States as
a whole and for the subscribers.
Our Nation may well take pride in
the fact that by their treatment of the
strangers who have sought its shores
it has created feeling of loyalty and
patriotism strong enough that the i'm
migrants of the last generation have
come to consider this country their
real home and have poured out their
savings in even more generous proper
tion than the native citizens.
The fact that the German-born led
all the others in the percentage of
their subscriptions makes the Kai-
ser's idea that the United States would
stay out of the war because of their
influence seem more ridiculous even
than heretofore. In the face of the
most intricate spy system and the
most elaborate propaganda that the
world has ever known, the showing of
the immigrant Germans is indeed a |
thing of which we may be proud.
The German subscribers have, be-
sides the qualification which comes
from contributing to a righteous cause,
the knowledge that their claims of
patriotism have more de-
finite support
Having been shown how the foreign
born citizens stood in the previous
loan campaigns, we know what their
position will be when the Fourth Lii
berty Loan drive begins

THE HINDENBURG LINE

Absolute disbelief that the Germans
can ever suffer a serious defeat is the
psychological Hindenburg line. The
real Hindenburg line, which extends
across Northern France and consists
of strongly fortified line of trenches,
represents to the German people an
impossible barrier between them and
the alien civilizations.
Their hatred and especial animos-
ity has always been directed against
the British. 1t is the British who
pierced the famous Hindenburg line
1t is the British, and the French, and
the Italians, and the Americans who
are even now driving through or
against the Hindenburg line in France
1t is the Americans, however, who
have finally pierced the psychological
Hindenburg line, who will in the end
utterly demoralize it.
The Army of the United States,

they, too, are becoming afraid. At
any rate, the physical effect of the
