you MUST THINK OF THESE THINGS.

As you walk along the streets of your city at night or
as you walk 10 the postoffice in some smaller town to
see whether there is any mail for you, you probably notice
the absence of many faces which a year ago We're quite
familiar. Many Of ~them-brisht. ambitious. smiling young
chaps-have quit the pursuits of civil life to don the
armor OF the soldier to help fight the battle for liberty
and humanity. \ number Of them have already crossed
the Atlantic and some of them are, no doubt. at this verv
moment in the front-line trenches or helping drive the
Teuton forces back. Their smiles. we hope, have not
disappeared but grim determination has steeled their
hearts TO do their bit to wipe the last vestige OF 4kuItur'
and Prussfan militarism from the face of the earth.
You and I want to bring these boys-every one Of
them safely back home. We want them back again as a
part of our daily life, even If We cannot boast of a service
flag in the window, denoting a vacant chair at the table
But before We can expect to see them again we must
see that they are properly fed, clothed and furnished with
the guns and ammunition 10 accomplish The task they
have set out to do. Your towns quota for the fourth
Liberty loan is so many hundred or thousand 800 bonds.
II you will buy but two OF these 500 bonds the money
will place 5000 machine gun rifle cartridges in the hands
OF some young American gunner-very likely a Lake
county boy. These cartridges will not only help to lessen
the total of fighting Huns, but protect him from attack
and make his return more sure.
Make your contTibution-no, not a contribution. just
a loan-at least 5000 cartridges. Then buy another 800
worth of bonds to make it 5000 more.

THE BocHE WRONG AS USUAL.

We wonder what that blasDheming braggart. the
kaiser, with his forty-year trained shock troops. his
staggering, housekeeping seasoned veterans, think OF
the doughboys?
We know he looked upon them at one time with con.
tempt We know that some wise guy told the Hun chic.
that America wouldn't fight and that it would take years
to train Yankee soldiers. At Cantigny. Chateau Thierry.
on the Marine, at st. Mihiel. the kaisers shock troops
nave got a fine little walloping each time at the hands of
the doughboys. In fact, wherever the Yank has met the
Boehe he has given him a precious hiding.
We believe it was the arrogant Wilhelm who told
Ambassador Gerard that "he would not stand for anv non
sense from America" Wonder how he feels about n
now?
The contemplate reptile press Of GERMANY. which
constantly has minimized and underestimate the abiii.
ties OF our boys in fighting, must have an awful pain tbasa
days. '' "
OF course, the German armies are retreatinc fo.
'strategical' reasons. They are likely to fool +bosa
Yankees and follow them clear up to Berlin. The dun.
mind OF the boche can stand for all that bamboozlinr
How little our boys care for danger. how hard i IS

You. dear, reader. are not going to read very much
Of anything else in these next few weeks than news about
The great Fourth Liberty Loan. We are going to hammer
away in this loan drive until we are convinced that every

YOU are simply asked to loan your money at a nice rate

NOT HARD TO ANSWERS.

If one million railroad laborers are given a wage
increase by the railroad administration averaging SIS a
month, as stated, that would mean an increase Of $4,000
600 a month or s300O0o,00O a year in wages that the
railroads must pay. The railroads under the first six
months Of so-caled government control, lost about $50.
00o, o00-or was it s300.000,O0o? Git is getting so hard.
these days, to keep track of a few mere miIIonsl. But
if it We're only thirty millions, in spite OF increased rates.
that would be a loss of $~60,O00.Oo0 a year to be added 10
the S3o0ooo,0o0, or a total of S36o.000.000-a rather tidy
sum, say we. being as i is something over a third Of a
billion dollars.
Now, not in a spirit Of complaining at all. but merely
for information and in order to keep the records clear.
We should like TO ask who is to make up an annual loss
Of this kind?
We pause for a reply. -Muncie Press.

PUBLIC OFFICES ON War BASIS.

IN Kansas the replacing Of men by women in in
dustry has been extended to the holding of public office.
Kansas women have long been accustomed to voting.
They have held public offices. too. But this year war
conditions are said TO have brought out many more
women candidates than usual.
II is reported that in q number of cases women whose
husbands are in some branch of military service are
running for the offices their husbands formerly held
Other women who ran for nomination against men won
out because there was a general feeling that the men
ought 10 be in the war instead OF seeking offices which
the women could administer quite as effectively.
For nearly ten years more than half the county su-
perintendents Of education in Kansa have been women.
Next year, il IS prophesied. the proportion will be nearly
so per cent The state superintendent. TOO. will be a
woman, as the Democratic, Republican and Socialist par
ties have all nominated women.
Their is at least one woman candidate for a place in
the Senate and two for the House. About the only office
no woman seems TO be seeking in that state is that Of
sheriff.
No one can accuse Kansas women Of sinking their
wartime responsibilities.

HARSH TREATMENT
 OF DEFEATED IS BAD
Premier Hara Of Japan in Favor
 Of Moderation

Tokio, Dec. 21-~That justice. calm ness and moderation will prevail at the Versailles Peace Congress is the opinion of Premier Hara of Japan. The Tokio KokumiE prints an inter- view with the new Prime Minister III which he gives his; first important uttCranco on questions of foreign war policy. He says:
 This European War has revolu- uonized the thoughts of civilized ntHnkind--nlarking the birth of a new spirit. IT the Napoleonic wars wrought great cpochaI changes in Europe, it will not be surprising if this war effects d phenomenal change upon the face of the civilized world such as was never dreamed of be- fore. It has hitherto been believed by most people that what is true of
