THE FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan will begin September % and
close October 49, The result of the
loan will be watched with keen in
terest in Europe, not only by our as
sociates liz the war against the Teu-
tonic powers but by our enemies. 1t
will be regarded by them as measure
of the American peoples support of
the war
The Germans know full well the tre-
mendous weight and significance of
popular support of the war, of the peo-
pie at home backing up the Army in
the field. AS the loan succeeds our
enemies will sorrow; as it falls short
they will rejoice. Every dollar sub
scrioed will help and encourage the
American soldiers and hurt and de-
press She enemies of America
The loan will be test of the loyalty
and willingness of the people of the
United States to make sacrifices COM
pared with the willingness ofY0ur SOL
oilers to do their part. There9must be
and will be no failure by the peoplstxo
measure up to the courage and devo-
tion of our men in Europe. Many of
them have given up their lives; shall
we at home withhold our money?
Shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?

GOVERNMENT WILL PAY
FOR SANATORIUM CARE

Wisconsin's part in the work Of car
ing for its soldiers discharged from the
army because of tuberculosis will con-
sist in providing sufficient sanatorium
facilities for receiving these soldiers as
patients paid for by the United States
government. Neither the soldier nor
the county in which ne resides will be
asked to pay for his sanatorium care.
The government has assumed this
responsibility as one of the soldiers
rights and is now making survey of
the sanatorium resources of the coun-
try to see how many beds are available
for its soldier patients, 1t being the
plan to care for the soldiers as far as
possible in their home states. This in
brief, will be the federal policy in
dealing with it's war tuberculosis prob
lem, according to Col. Charles e.
Banks. chief medical advisor of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, who
has been in Wisconsin this week on
special mission to discover how many
sanatorium beds would be available
here.
'The government stands ready to
pay for the maintenance of every dis
charged tuberculous soldier in~state or
county sanatoria, said Col. Banks. sit
will be the policy of the government
to utilize local institutions instead of
planning for the erection of large cen
teal sanatoria. Ifa man cannot be
cared for in his home state and there
is bed available in another state, the
government will arrange for his care
there. This is entirely independent of
the amount collected from his war
risk insurance. 1t is one of his rights.
1t is not a matter of charity. 1t is
matter of business. A soldier is en-
titled to sanatorium care and he is not
expected to pay for it himself or to
apply for it as county charge"
The fact that tuberculosis has been
the cause in fifty per cent of the ap-
proximately $4,000 cases of soldiers
who have been discharged from the
army because of physical defects since
the United States entered the war is
cited by Col. Banks as evidence of the
immensity of the task which confronts
both the government and the individu
al states.

PARIS, May 2-The Germans arc in
an awkward predicament in the West,
says Henri Bidou. the famous military
critic of the journal des Debats." He
sums up the situation as follows:
"The dominating fact is that the
enemy, whose principal interest is IN
Picardy, finds himself, probably in
spite of himself, in situation where
he is obliged to throw in forces, always
more considerable, without the success
he obtains bringing him nearer a de-
cision.
"Having commenced on April 9 south
Of Armentieres an engagement which
was no more than a simple diversion,
he curved his line forward and the next
day had to extend his action to the
north. In this way he has dug out a
vast pouch, where in few days he
spent twenty-one divisions; but this
pouch being barred on both fanks. he
had to disengage his right flank by an
operation in the Ypres sector which led
to the capture of KENNEL.
"But this capture in turn made neces-
sary an assault on other hills and a gem
eral operation against Ypres, which up
to the present has been a complete
check.
$50, since April 27 the Germans have
thrown into the Flanders fighting moro
than forty divisions. Moreover, since
March 21 they have engaged more than
one hundred divisions in Picardy, of
which many have fought twice and
some three times.
"The Germans resemble at this mo-
ment man who has eaten too big a
dinner and tries to correct it by drink
ing more than usual. The headache is
still to come"

Germans Forced

Check at Ypres
TStaf Correspondence


WASHINGTON, May 2.-An official
Trench dispatch relating to military
operations received here to-day says:
"Thc Importance of the check suf-
fcred by the Germans in their attack
of April - needs no demonstration.
Here, however, is further and sig
nificant proof of it: The day before
the attack the enemy notified the entire
world that the taking of Mount KENNEL
a. the beginning of the new battle as
sured him rapid march to the sea,
and radiogram from Nauen cited the
article of the military critic of the
'Rerliner Zeitung am Mittag,' who
stated that this success must have a
decisive effect on the Interior develop
inent of the struggle, since 1t was nee
cssary to return to a more just estl-
mate of realities,' and the same official
service of radiograms at Nauen on the
date of May l indulges in these modest
explanations Of the military critic of
the 'Svenska Dagbladet,' pro-Gernan
paper of Stockholm:
"'The development of events south
west of Ypres shows that the taking
OF KENNEL was not the signal of an
operation on large scale. With that
supposition, the struggle would have
promptly continued and the advantage
won would have been exploited in an
other way 1t is an admission of the
costly check of April 90"

THE FRENCH BATTLEFRONT, Sun
are facing them in this part Of France,
day, April 28.--Now that the German
forces are aware that American forces
are facing them in this part of France
it is possible for the first time to
describe the wars transformation Of
the peaceful French countryside and
villages to battle-ground which GER
tainly will enter into American war
history.
few weeks ago the faint rumbling
of the firing to the north and the let
ters to the home folks from the few sol
diers at the front were the only indlca-
tions of war. Men and women worked
in the green fields with their oxen and
horses. Kids played in the village
squares, old men and women hobbled
through the streets or sat in door
steps and younger women hustled
about the housework and gardens.
Just as the fruit trees began to
bloom and the wheat began to peep
through the brown fields and the gar
den flowers began budding the pleas
ant life in the dozen villages here
abouts went to pot. Domestic life
w
No Villsger Left to Tell Story
The story of how the spring sun
rose one morning a short time ago on
this peaceful, domestic city and fell on
dozen deserted agricultural COM
munities where perhaps two dozen
generations of French peasant folk
we're born and died was told to me by
French soldier to-day. There isn't
a. single villager left to tell it, but
the neat households, with the family
photos on the walls, the fields and
gar.1ens and baby cradles and chill
dren's toys mutely tell stronger
story of war than the villagers them
selves could tell.
The villagers hurriedly harnessed
their oxen and horses, piled what few
belongings they could on their con-
veyances, and fed. The French reserves
who filled the village at nightfall found
the. fires still smouldering, potatoes
peeled, half cooked meals on the stoves,
cats still me1ving on the thresholds,
plows and harrows left in the fields
just where they were when the farmers
received the alarm.
On the wall of the room in which
this is being written, the benign face
OF an old mother looks out of wooden
frame over the fireplace. In the centre
OF Cne room on an mutation mahogany
table stands a battalion adjutant max
ing marks on a hieroglyphic military
map. On the mantle is an American
alarm clock. Above the mantle and
over the mothers picture is Clemen-
ceau, now the French Premier, pict-
ure evidently clipped from some satiri-
cal political journal wears ago.
Virgin Mary Looks on Scene
On another wall hangs a brilliantly
colcred picture of the Virgin Mary
who looks down from beside the Amer
lean military telephone. On the side
board, peeping from under pile of gas
masks and steel helmets, is a child's
celluloid doll stove. Above is a large
golden frame enclosing the yellow
fringed epaulets of male member OF
the family who fought with the French
marines in the boxer rebellion in
China, with little certificate under
the small photo, bearing the seal of
the French Ministry of Marine, telling
how the peasant boy died on the trans,
port Colombo, en- route home, wounded
from Tonkin.
In the little bedroom off the LARGE,
