anything to put heart in the fighting
forces or to uphold the nation In it's
struggle Re will re simply passive
oniookcr And that is not being loyal
Our country is fighting in the most
desperate struggle of history. 1t is a
struggle so vast and mOmentOuS as to
demand the most complete support of
every one Of its citizens. Passive 10y
alty-the loyalty of peace times-is not
sufficient. The brand Of loyalty now
demanded is the kind that impels one
to offer himself and his all, if neces-
sary. that his country may be victori-
GUS in the great conflict.
Most Of us cannot go into the fight
ing forces: most of us cannot enter
into those industries directly connected
with the war. but all of us can show
our neighbors that we have the right
brand of patriotism.
Our Government is urging upon us
the necessity of saving as an essential
to victory. We are told that there is
not enough man power and not suffi-
cient materials in the country to win
quick victory if we continue to use
this man power and these materials as
| we did before the war. 1t is pointed
out that there are now more than
2OOO.0OO men in the Army and Navy.
and that by August LIST this number
will he increased to 3.OOO.OOO, with a
steady addition to that number from
then on. These men will not only cease
to he producers. but they will become
consumers on vast scale.
| Thus it is that we are urged to buy
only those things which we need in
| order that we shall not use up labor
and waste materials and transpOrta-
ton, so vitality necessary to the Gov
eminent in its war work and so much
! needed in the manufacture of things
essential to the health and efficiency of
our citizens.
BY following the Governments re-
quest to produce to our maximum ca
pacity and to consume as little as pos
sible. we shall give practical expression
| to our lOyalty-a militant loyalty, the
brand which stamps us as being willing
| to do our part at home by sacrificing,
| by getting down to Il war basis, by
backing up our Government with all
our strength. With our money savings
we can then buy War-Savings Stamps
and perform double service by giving
the Government current funds with
which to buy the labor and materials
so much needed for war purposes
which we have refrained from using.
| That is loyalty.

Loyalty In War Time.

National War-Savings Committee
Loyalty In peace times and loyalty
in war times are two distinct things.
Not much is required to pass the 10y
atty test when ones country is not at
war; simple compliance with the law
is all that is required.
But loyalty in war times is not a
passive quality. At such a time one
may be without loyalty and still not be
dislOyal. A person of this type will do
nothing either to assist or to harm his
country. He will not give himself to
his cOuntry's service and he will not
contribute financial support. Neither
will he discourage others from doing
this. He will do or say nothing trea-
sonable. and neither will he do or say

FranuIais a New Tongue.

"Franglais' is a new language that
you hear in France today. The word
is made out of Franchise and Anglais,
the French words for French and
English-and the language itself is
made out of a fearful tumble of words
that were perfectly good when they
played by themselves, but don't always
mix.
Franglais is what you hear where
Americans and English men and wom-
en- without a very good knowledge of
their hosts own speech find themselves
at work alongside of French men and
French women-soldiers, nurses, relief
workers, ~shopkeepers and all sorts
of folk.
American Red Cross workers say
that when you gather up several
hundred little French babies who have
hardly begun to speak any language
at all and several hundred little ones
who are speaking the universal and
universally incomprehensible language
of babyhood, the results are one de-
gree harder to understand than grown
up Franglais.

FISH AFFECTED BY WARFARE
Explosion of Mines of British Coast
Has Resulted in Great Diminution
of Catches, Is Report.

Wilfred Buzley, who is on the way
to his tea plantation in Assam, India,
said on his arrival in this city that the
frequent explosions of mines off the
British coast had caused a great search
ty of fish, according to New York
Times. This was especially the ase
along the east coast of England and
Scotland, and had also affected the
coast of Holland. Herring, which for
merly were plentiful at this season Of
the year off the coast of Scotland, sell
ing at a cent apiece retail, now bring
Is cents, he said, and were scarce.
Founders and cod, formerly eight to
ten cents a pound, are now worth so
cents at retail. 1t was only at rare
intervals, Mr.. Buzley said, that the
poor were able to purchase fish.
'The only fish in British waters that
appeared to defy the mines and tor
pedoes," Mr.. Buzley continued, sis
the hardy halibut. Just before l sailed
from England one of the steam trawl-
ers off the coast was about to haul
in the lines when the captain noticed
a giant halibut following close behind
a cod that was impaled on one of the
hooks. The halibut made several at
tempts to swallow the cod and was
eventually hauled up onto the deck of
the trawler. The skipper told me that
the big fish weighed 1853 pounds, and
was sold in the market for $50"

CAPTURES w BROTHER
Dramatic Incident Occurs on the
Western FroEt.


The great war-breeder of romance
and adventure-has given birth to one
of the most dramatic situations record
ed since the kaiser's h0rdes started
on their march through Belgium in
1914.
A United States marine fighting on
the western front recently captured
his own brother during a raid on the
enemy trenches. During the days of
the Civil war, when brother fought
brother and father and son faced
each other through the smoke of bat
tie, such incidents were more or less
everyday occurrences. But in this,
the greatest Of all wars, writer's have
been quick to say that romance in bat
tie was a thing Of the past.
Private Harold J. Dibbs of the u. S.
marine crops, tells of the incident In
a letter written to his parents in Great
Falls, Mont.
"A strange incident happened when
/ went over the top. I saw a marine
capture his own brother, who had
been put into the Germany army while
on a visit over there. Another soldier
of an allied nation wanted to kill him,
as he had helped in the capture. II
was an interesting sight, to be sure,
The brother declared his intention of
joining the American forces.'

SINKS MANY HUN SUBS
French Marine Patrol Is Doing Effec.
tive Service.

A report just issued by the French
admiralty shows that during the month
Of July Of this year, the aerial sea and
coast patrols of the French marine COW
cred a total of 4S5,330 miles.
This includes the work Of the cap
i've and navigating balloons, coast air
planes and seaplanes. Credit for the
sinking of nhany submarines by French
boats is given the aerial branch of the
marine service because of its untiring
work in ferreting out the sea pirates.
The aerial patrol also discovered nu-
merous groups of mines laid by Ger
man submarines in French waters.
During July, the report states, cap
i've balloons were in action for $40
hours, dirigibles for 1911 hours, air
planes and Hydrocarbons for 1892
hours. During the months of June the
aerial sea patrol covered 447 ,040 miles.
