MASS MEETING NEXT MONDAY.
To Promise Liberty Bond Sales-A1
ready About $4,000.

The Third Liberty loan drive opened
Saturday with much enthusiasm and
$4,000 worth of bonds were sold dur
ing the day at the local branch of the
Keene National bank. This amount had
been increased to $19,S00 Wednesday
evening, but is vet far below Hins-
dale s quota of $56,0 900. This quota is
quite high for town of this size and
is due to the high valuation rather
than the population.
In order to promote more sales the
loan committee has arranged to hold
mass meeting in the town hall next
Monday evening. to which everyone is
invited. Prominent speakers will be
present, among them being Scott
Owen, bond expert from Concord
There will also be soldier from the
Canadian army present, one who has
already been cover the top' and who
will tell an interesting story about
what is happening cover there an6
the necessity of those at home doing
their bit generously and willingly.
Everyone is urged to make subscrip
tions for bonds before Monday nigh
if possible, so that the amount whiel
will be announced that evening will b.
as large as possible.

PEACE

If any nation since the beginning OF
time has shown its desire for peace it
seems to us that nation has been the
United States of America.
1t has been a passion with our pee.
pie. With the rich as well as the
poor Note the efforts Of Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie and Mr. Henry Ffrd along
this line
But the nation wants lasting, not
"a patched-up, temporary peace.
But we cannot consent to a peace
that permits the flag OF the ration
to be fired upon and dishonored.
In the language of Hon. Scott Fer.
ris, Of Oklahoma, peace cannot be
when innocent men, women and chill
dren, going where they have a right
to go, attending to their daily routine
affairs, are torpedoed. Summarized,
mutiIated, murdered and sunk. Peace
cannot be amid the gurgling sounds
OF the drowning. Peace cannot be
when kaiserism. Prussianism and the
mailed fist reigns. and liberty, justice
and even Deity is proselyted ana dis
dained.
Democracy today, he says, is max,
ing her last stand in a death grapple
with autocracy. The right Of demo
cracy to succeed against autocracy
! is dearer than peace. There can be
no peace but ar honorable lace
There can be 40 peace but lasting
| peace.
In his peroration he says:
Patriotism the republic and its des-
tiny rests with the people. Let every
citizens in every corner of the land
kindle the fires anew. Kindle the
smouIdering embers that patriotism
may stalk among US as it did in 10.
Kindle it anew that liberty, demo
cracy, free government, free institu-
tions and the republic in which We
live may not be dis;ntegrated, per,
ished and gone FOc il the name of
freedom, justice, and the liberties OF
men, we are right and they are
wrong"

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE
POSSIBLE

The war has caused the nation to
performed almost miracles. The ap-
parently impossible has been made
possible.
Perhaps the most marvellous Of the
nations achievements has been in the
building of ships.
Mr.. Schwab tells US that when the
war was declared we had less than
forty steel shipyards. Less than for
ty organizations prepared to turn
out steel ships. Less than forty com
panies prepared with ways. The en-
envy was sinking our ships faster than
we could build them. The submarine
had become perilOus menace
Instead of forty we now have more
than one hundred and forty steel
shipyords. The submarine menace Is
no longer alarming. In shjpbuilding
we now stand at the head of all ma,
tions.
Before the war riveter who could
average sixty rivetS an hour was rat
ed as first class. We now have riv-
eters who make a daily average OF
four hundred per hour

Shipbutlding Corporation, in a late
