THE SOLDIER AND THE BOND.

ut is a sacred duty of every citi-
zen and it should be regarded as a
glorious privilege by every patriot to
uphold the governments credit with
the same kind of self-sacrifce and no
hility of soul that their gallant sons
exhibit when they die for us on the
battlefelds of Europe"
Secretary McAdoo has issued nc
stronger call upon the American peo-
pie to support the Liberty Loan. The
third loan will soon be opened. Be-
hind every American soldier in
France, back of every American sailor
on the seas there should be worker
and bond buyer at home There il
the drawer part. but we who remain at
home can be no less useful If we ex.
hibit that self-sacrifice that they dem
onstrate in risking their lives.
If the American people possess and
put into effective force the same faith
in Americanism that the Germans
show for their kultur, the struggle be-
tween German kultur and American
civilization will be a short one and
Americas victory will be overwhelm-
ing.
We may be a little slow, may have
much inertia to overcime. Ameri-
can might, like the mills of the gods,
may grind slowly but will grind ex-
eeeding small.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

Representative Hefllin, of Alabama
is quoted as saying: There are some
members in the house and some in the
senate who ought to be defeated. |
think a man who is loyal, democrat
and republican alike, ought to have
No trouble. The issue of American
ism ought to be made paramount and
tie man whose loyalty does not square
with that issue ought to be defeated
democrat or republican The great
body of the members of both houses
are supporting the president, but the
conduct of some has been such that
would not vote for them"
That's a splendid sentiment, and It
applies with so much force and pre-
cision In this state that we believe It
should be reproduced. Furthermore,
we believe it echoes to the last letter
the idea of every loyal and patriotic
citizen of Georgia.

THE GERMANS.

1.-THE she'll struck a church, on
Easter morning.
1.-The majority of those Killed were
women and children
Another German outrage, of course!
You never hear of Englishmen and
Frenchmen and Italians killing women
and children and destroying churches
and art edifices You certainly never
will hear of Americans doing any of
that.
Only the cruel, merciless Germans,
devoid of conscience and shame, with
all humane instincts suppressed, do
foul deeds of that character. Only the
Germans poison wells, violate all the
rules of modern warfare-rules which
they themselves proposed and to which
they subscribed. Only the Germans
sneak up behind the passenger ships
il the dark and send innocent, non
combatants, women and children
among them as usual, to watery
graves, in violation of all ethics Of
humanity Only the Germans burn the
dead bodies Of their own comrades for
making of materials of war! Only
the Germans think it an achievement
to outrage womanhood and stain their
hands with the blood of little children.
Only the Germans commit crimes, IN
the conduct of war, too horrible to
discuss.
'The majority Of those killed
were women and children.
When you read line like that, you
never hesitate about deciding who it
was that perpetrated the outrage. You
know at once, without fail, that the
Germans did it.
The long-range bombardment OF
Paris serves nc military purpose. It
cannot possibly break down the superb
spirit of the French. 1t cannot avail
the Germans any strategic advantage.
It can only result in the destruction
of property and in the Staying of wom-
en- and children. For nearly four
years now, the Germans, with their
bomb-dropping Zeppelins, have sought
to weaken the morale of the British
and French, but find one nation too
indominatible, the other too brave for
the accomplishment of their purpose.
SO the firing of gun at a distance OF
seventy-six miles, with the view Of
killing women and children and de-
stroying churches, will also fail of eff
feet But it will have the effect Of
indelibly stamping the German mind
on the memory of the world as the
most abandoned since ATLAS hordes
swarmed the earth.

THE THIRD LOAN.

The greatly increased size of thu.
American force abroad, and the hasty
preparations to rush as many availa-
Bile men across as possible to meet
tie present situation on the west front,
tas greatly increased the governments
daily war expense, and has rendered
more imperative than ever the rails
ing of large sums for the carrying on
of the war.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign
which opens on Saturday, the ami
versary of the entrance of America in
to the war, but brings the total war
Indebtedness of the nation up to S.
$50 ,802,O53.96, according to figures OF
the treasury department up to March
II; and of this sum, fully one-half
has been in turn loaned to the Allied
governments for the purchase of sup
plies.
In spite of the vast preparations
which have been already made, and Of
the first national army quartered and
trained, besides the expenses incurred
by troop movements and the ex-
penses of the regular army and the
national guard, the nation is very lit
tie in debt, compared with foreign
countries.
The new loan must be raised quick
ly. There must be no holding back on
the part of loyal Americans in face OF
the great peril that now threatens in
France-a peril that has doomed much
larger. in the past two weeks than at
any time since the second of August,
1914. The money must be forthcom-
ing; and the three billions asked for
at the present time must be oversub-
scribed to the largest possible figure
There are more loans to come; and
they are apt to follow closely upon
one another. The quicker America
acts, the shorter will be the war. This
much is granted by all who are guild
ing the destinies of the government
through this dark hour.
The third loan will be a renewed
challenge of the American people to
the Kaiser on the anniversary OF
Americas defiance. 1t will mean more
than mere dollars and cents: for it will
