A PROCLAMATION
BY the President of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make 1t clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve IT,.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what su-
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render To the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us in this
fateful year peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday, the 10Th
day of October. 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day | request the citizens of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. COmmem-
orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demOnstra-
tions should be arranged for in every
neighborhood under the general direc-
tion of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
its discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose of participating In
Liberty day celebrations all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed
Done in the District of Columbia
this 10Th day of September in the year
of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hun
dred and Eighteen, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of
America the One Hundred and Forty
third.
WOODROW WILSON.

ROBERT LANSING.
Secretary of State.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-10-05

There is a spirit of romance about
the air service that appeals to the
average American, and at this stage
OF the war nothing is more important.
The planes have been called the eyes
of the army" but now they will be
more, for they will carry the war into
Germany. Tons of high explosives
dropped from the skies are advance
notices that the war is moving toward
Berlin.
Not everyone can qualify for the air
service, but with the coming OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan everyone can
have a direct hand in its activities.
The purchase Of one $50 bond, for
instance, will pay for the ammunition
used in a sharp 2-minute fight with
Hun plane and, once in action, two
minutes usually decides the battle one
The Colorado statesman., 1918-10-05

Now that the fourth loan is upon us
we must fasten our minds upon fur
tier fact:
The loan will not be complete sue
cess unless every individual bases his
subscription on budget.
That is to say, he must know just
how much he is getting and just how
much he is spending. and he must
subscribe with this knowledge in mind,
The day for guesswork has gone.
The country is stripping for action.
We must know what we can do. Then
We shall be surprised ut the outcome.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-10-05

We have learned:
/. That buying Liberty Bonds is
good investment.
>. That the money the government
gets from them is absolutely neces-
sary.
3. That the money is being well
spent.

All these things and several 9th

more pleasant and possibly more
profitable for him if he had de-

Warning to Subscribers

: 1t is stated in several newspa-
pers that, owing to the alarming
decrease in the production and
supply of print paper, the War
Industries Board, with view to
conserving the supply, has pro-
mulgated a regulation prohibiting
publishers from sending their pa
pers to any but paid-in-advance
subscribers, and that, beginning
October list of this year, publish
ers must reduce by fifteen per-
cent. their consumption Of print
paper. The Herald has not yet
received an official notice of this
regulation; but, when it does, it
will assuredly comply with it, for
both patriotism and personal in
terest requires it. Before cutting
off any subscribers, however, it
will send statements to all whose
subscriptions may have expired
and give them a reasonable time
in which to pay up. Really, they
ought to pay up without waiting
to be asked.

A Bridge Ahead

The Times Union candidly ac-
knowledges that it is crossing
bridges before coming to them. In
the case in point, however, that
wise paper is justified in its ac-
ton, for what it says is simply a
manifestation Of commendable
forethought. Discussing condi-
tions that our millions of soldiers
returning from the great war will
find confronting them at home, it
remarks and inquiries:
Give or six million women will
be doing work that has heretofore
generally been done by men
When the extra demands Of the
war no longer exist, how will the
men and women both find employ
?"
Answering its own inquiry, the
Times-Union suggests that the
limitless fields Of agriculture will
offer employment for all who will
find themselves idle at the close of
the war.
To this it may be objected that,
ii our farming population should
be so Immensely increased, would
there be danger Of over-produc-
tlon with the result of unprofta-
bic prices for all kinds of agricul-
tural products?
If the Times Union will recall
the results of the invention and
introduction of labor-saving ma
chlnery, which, it was feared,
would throw thousands out of en-
ployment, its apprehensions about
post-bellum conditions and prob
lens may be somewhat allayed.
When we remember the results of
the introduction of the sewing ma
chine, the harvesting machine and
other great labor-saving inven-
tlons, we are not inclined to feel
serious misgivings about finding
employment for our returning sol
dlerS and the thousands of work
ers who will be released from war
industries.
The men of both sides who
fought during the War Between
the States, were not long in adj
Justing themselves to the changed
conditions which they found at
home on their return from the
war, and those who are now fight
ing IN Europe or working in va
nous war industries will exhibit
similar adaptability when releas-
ed from their present work.
Many of us homefolks are even
now too old for work we are try
ing to do, and we shall need the
returning soldiers to take our
places.
1t may take year or two to
get our country'S business affairs
INTO satisfactory shape, but it will
be done.

The Herald in Trouble

The Herald now finds itself III
a peck of trouble" +" The young
est son of the editor has "been
summoned to the colors" and will
leave for training camp tomor-
row morning. He has been doing
all the job printing, setting the
advertisements, making up the
forms and putting them to press.
No other one in the office can
do job printing or set advertise
ments; consequently, our patrons
must bear with us until we can Sc
cure the needed help. This will
be very difficult, if not impossible,
for help of all kinds is now very
hard to find.
We are perfectly willing that
this boy should serve his country
in any capacity for which he is
fitted, but we had hoped and con-
fidently believed that, as the ex-
amining physicians had certified
that q crippled leg rendered him
"unft for military service" and,
further, as his help was essential
to the publication of The Herald,
he would be exempted, especial
ly as the work he was doing is of
greater value to the government
than anything he can do in the
army
Officials at Washington have de-
clared that the business of pub
fishing a newspaper is one of the
essential industries, because it is
of inestimable value in the promo
ton of Liberty Loans, sales of
War Savings Stamps and all 9th |
er means adopted by the govern
ment and various patriotic organ
izations for the successful prose
cution of the war.
In view of this fact and es-
pecially of the boys crippled leg,
we had no idea that he would be
called into the service, but he has
been called, and we will have to
do the best we can without his
help. 4
This is not all, but it is the
worst of all troubles inflicted up
on The Herald. The increase in
postage and the infictions of the
zone postage system upon the
newspapers have been sufficiently
discussed. Now come some 9TH
er government regulations, which
will not impose serious burdens
upon the newspapers. These re-
quire that the names of all sub
scribers who have not paid in adj
vance shall be dropped from the
subscription lists of the newspa-
pers; also, that the papers shall
use Is per cent. less paper than
they have been using. Newspa-
pers not observing these regula-
tions will be prevented from buy
ing supplies and will also be de-
MED the privilege of second-clasS
postage rates.
In word, a newspaper which
neglects to obey these regulations,
will have to cease publication, be-
cause paper mills and paper job
bers will be forbidden to sell it
any paper or other supplies.
In promulgating these regula-
tions, the War Industries Board
recommends that the weekly
newspapers increase their sub
scription rates from $3.50 to $500
a year. If The Herald decides to
comply with this recommenda-
ton, as it seems it will have to do,
it will give notice in time to ena-
Bile all subscribers to avail them

An American correspondent
with our army in France, writing
under date Of Aug. Goth, says that
it is generally understood by all
the military leaders over there,
and by the rank and file as well,
that the war will last until Sep
tember of next year, when it will
end in the utter defeat Of the kai-
ser and his hellions.

What The Herald asks for is
brief, interesting extracts from
letters written home by Punta

That accomplished and esteem

convert the Florida newspapers
into cook books. AT any rate, she
sends The Herald enough of do
nestle science literature to make
a book of respectable size-and
we haven't the time even to read
it. We have followed the exam
pie of Editor Leach of the Lees

all this kitchen literature to the

The Times Union, at least one of
whose editors, we think, knows
the Seminole language, speaks Of
the "Caloosahatchee river" The
Herald did that once, and was i'm
mediately corrected by friend
with the information that hatchee
means river. In the same edito-
rial, the Times-Union says that
"Palmdale will be supplied with
"a supply of ice" If that writer
isn't more careful, he will have
