There Must Be a Great
 Speeding Up

6FHE nationwide fourth Liberty
 0 Loan campaign has been drag ging. It is we'll nigh inconceivable that any intelligent Americans fail to realize to the fullest extent the neces- sity of raising the six billion dollars sought.
 President Wilson has issued short but telling appeal to his fellow coun- Itrymen," in which he says: Recent events have enhanced, not lessened, the importance of this loan. The best thing that could happen would be that the loan should not only be fully subscribed, but greatly Ioversubscribed
 "A single day of relaxation in that effort would be of tragical damage, alike to ourselves and the rest of the world. Nothing has happened which makes it safe or possible to do any, thing but push our effort to the ut- most. The time is critical and the re- sponse must be complete"
 Secretary of State Lansing, who spent yesterday at Auburn, N. r., where he delivered theological semi nary address, gave out this statement on the fourth Liberty Loan, which is worth pondering;
 "It would be a grave mistake" he said, "to let up for one moment. If peace were declared today it would be over year before the troops could be brought back across the sea and demobilized. There is no let-up in pressure in the army and navy and there should be no let-up here"
 It is hoped that the Liberty cam palgn Will take fresh start at once. Men and women everywhere must be- stir themselves. The total of sub scriptions should show decided inn provement in tonight's consolidated reports and next week the canvassing should be so intensive that the Presi- dents desire for large oversubscrip- tion would be abundantly met.

Woman's Parade On Time


 T have seen lots of parades and have been in many, both as a parader and as a participant in the arrangement plans, but the Woman's Liberty Loan parade on last Saturday night was the most perfectly planned and executed that have seen in many days" said John T. Yeatman yesterday.
 T was the official starter, and when I got to the head of the parade I said 10 Mrs. Jacobs, Tt is now BPS and the parade is due to start at S:3o, when Will you be ready to move?
 We are ready right now she re- piled, and 1 stood there for two min utes, and when the watch hands reached S:3O it moved on the dot And yet they say that women cannot get ready. that they are always late and that they never do anything on time.

Technical Books
 Rather Than Fiction

GT1 1CTION-good fiction-is an i'm U portant feature of every library, but what the Library War Service needs is a class of books covering technical subjects scientific works and books on history and books in foreign languages. So Frank Parker national director of in- formation of the second library war fund, tells us in answering the ques- ton, why does the American Library association ask for $3,500,000 when the people gave so many million books in response to recent appeal? The greater part of the contributions were novels, and even when technical or educational books came from the average mans" overcrowded shelves they were out of date. The associa- tion is grateful for works of fiction, 
 of course. Such books will supply want, especially for the future, but young men in the army of an intel lectual tone of thinking and eager to improve their minds are helped only by the latest word in technical knowl- edge. Hence it is that the $3,500,o0 to be raised for the Library War Serv- ice will be expended for just the books that ambitious soldiers are craving and that the government is asking the association to supply.

 He cited an instance of a preacher in south Alabama who served country churches miles apart. He had sold his horse and buggy in order to reach them more easily. He had four churches to which he preached once a month. Some Of them were twenty miles from the lit- tie town in which he lived, but before he would even make preaching trip to any of his appointments he wrote on to Montgomery and got permission. He said people looked up to him as a leader, and he was not going to even have the pretense of being looked on as 'slacker'

Time to Get Off
That Christmas Package
* w *

@HRISTMAS presents intended for NJ American prisoners in German prison camps must be in the hands of the American Red Cross by October 15, to insure pompt delivery. The old adage, "Do your Christmas shopping early" has, therefore, more urgency this year than in normal times when the eleventh-hour shopper played havoc in congested stores and usually had to take what he or she could get.
 It is a fortunate circumstance that there are not many American pris- oners in Germany. According to the latest information there were about 2OOO. The number may have been in- creased since then, but not apprecias bly,. Only one package will be al- lowed for each man. It must not weigh more than Il pounds and must bear the soldiers name, his regiment, the name of the prison camp in which he is confined and the province in Germany or Austria where the camp is located. Packages should be ad- dressed: Warehouse, Atlantic divis, ion. American Red Cross, No. 20 East Fifteenth Street, New York City" The name and address of the sender, preference being given to packages prepared by the soldiers family, must appear on the parcel and the words, "Christmas Package for American Prisoner of War" It will be forwarded without charge.
 Similarly, the sooner Christmas packages for men in France are sent, the more apt they are to be delivered on time. Great quantities of Christ mas mail will go forward and there is going to be, in the nature of things, more or less delay because of con- gestion at seaports and limited cargo space in ships. Plans have been per fected, however, to avoid such condi- tions as prevailed last year when thousands of soldiers did not receive their Christmas presents until long after the holidays.
 Make your package as compact as possible, be sure the address is correct and send but one. Every foot of avail able cargo space is needed.

't' v I. Armistice Would Save the German Armies

~ ERMANY'S armies are in re- NJ treat. Their morale has un- questionably suffered. There are evil dences of confusion among leaders and large bodies of troops have been routed by the advancing allies, but the German armies are intact. The retreat is being conducted in a skill ful way and stubborn resistance is of- fered all along the battle front. The German is still menacing, still dan. gerous.
 A cessation of hostilities which would allow the Germans to draw in their lines and consolidate their forces might indeed free large area of ter ritory, but it would postpone Ger many's military defeat indefinitely, for she would still be able to present an unbroken wall to her enemies. If established on the fortified lines of the Mouse, with her armies intact, many would shorten her front more than 150 miles and would have, 1t is estimated, 40 divisions for maneu- vering.
 To give the Germans any such ad- vantage would nullify to a large ex- tent the victories General Foch has al- ready gained.
