Bolsheviki. though not exceptionally
friendly toward us, restrained so far
from all direct action against us.
Their only desire in that respect, to
which they devoted much money, was

More dangerous was the work of
the German agens, who, under the
mask of internationalism found their
way into the Soviets. In every Soviet
there was a German who exercised
great influence over all it's members.
THE Bolsheviks gave a sufficient
proof of the fact that they are in
capable to rule. The number of their
fighting supporters is very indefinite
They consist chiefly of hungry masses,

warning, or hospitals and unfortified cities be
bombed or cannonaded with long-range guns.
You subscribe to the doctrine that small ma
tions have the same rights great and powerful
shall not force upon the world the dominion of
her military masters.
You subscribe, when you subscribe to Lib
erty Loan, to the belief that America entered this
war for just and noble cause; that our soldiers
in France and our soldiers on the sea are fight
ing for right and justice.
And you subscribe to the American senti-
ment that they must and shall be powerful, eff
ficient, and victorious.
The war news from the eastern front these
lions from German newspapers portray the
gloom that overhangs the people in the large
cities That the people in the snuall towns and
country are equally depressed is not to be
doubted.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers of the pre-
ceding loans have their share in the success of
the entente allies They furnished the sinews of
war not only to fight the U-boats and to build
diers over, not only to supply them and our allies
with food and munitions, but more than $6,O0O,-
100000 of their money has been loaned to our
allies that they may prosecute the war with
vigor and strength.
We here at home have an opportunity to send
the Germans some more bad news. The Germans
have great respect for money; they know it's vital
value in wagng war. They know, too, that the
support the American people give government
loan measures largely the support they give their
government, the moral as well as the financial
support they give their armies in the field.
A tremendous subscription to- the Fourth
Liberty Loan will be as distressing to the Ger
man people defeat for them on the battle
field, and it will mean as much. It spells their
defeat; it breaks their morale; it power to
their enemies A subscription to the loan is a
contribution to German defeat and American
victory
If you buy $10O bond of the Fourth Liberty
Loan you are lending the United States Govern
ment enough money to feed soldier in France
a little more than seven months Or you have
furnished enough money to give him a complete
outfit of winter and summer clothing, including
shoes and stockings, and slicker and overcoat and
blankets, with enough left over to arm him with
a good revolver. You have done that much to
beat back the Hun.
It takes $35 more to arm him with rifle
with bayonet on it, and if you buy second $500
bond you furnish him this rifle and 1000 cart
ridges for it; and there will still be enough of
your money left to purchase good-sized bomb
to throw in dugout, or denolish machine gun
together with the Huns that operate it.

COUNTY TAX LEvIES
MAY Be DECREASED

L. S. Bowman, county auditor, has
received a letter from the State
Board of Tax Commissioners calling
attention to the fact that Wayne
ccunty's increase in assessment Of
property, this year over last, might
warrant a decrease in the tax levies
made by townships, school, city, and
towns. The total increase in the val

The New Man Power Bill and Deferred
Classifcations

The passage of the 18-45 man power bill by
Congress this week and it's presentation to
President Wilson for signature will tap new
reservoir of men. The people generally approve
Of the measure and will give to it the same sup
port that was accorded the first draft bill.
It is gratifying to note that the bill orders all
draft boards to comb carefully deferred CLASH
fications and exemptions to see that no slackers
have taken advantage Of technicalities. Many
men under the first draft have taken shameful
! advantage of the deferred cassifications and in
some communities the practice reached such
proportions that vigilance committees were ap-
| pointed to help the draft boards ascertain the
true merits Of the affidavits that were presented
by these sackers
Under this provision of the measure, the two
draft boards of Wayne county will be forced to
give careful attention to the case of every man
who has asked for deferred classification or for
an exemption. The boards can rest assured that
the whole community will assist them in every
way to ferret out the men who are base enough
to force other men into the army because they
are too cowardly to assume the responsibility
which is theirs
A man who fraudulently obtains a deferred
classification, or who rightfuly obtains one and
then when the conditions that caused his request
are removed, refuses to notify the board that he
is now eligible for service is contemplate
Stacker and an undesirable citizen. The same
structure applies to the man who obtains an ex
emption on flimsy ground. These men may
evade military service, but they cannot escape
their own shame and the contempt of the COM
munty.
Their shame will follow them through life.
They are conspicuous in the community, not for
their courage but for their cowardce. Every
one has them spotted. If they believe they can
live down their disgrace, they badly mistaken.
1t will follow them to the grave.
The Indiana State Council of Defense has
been called to assist in the detection and appre
hension of deserters and delinquents who have
evaded the selective service law by failing proper
]y to register. The request comes from the War
Department at the suggestion of President Will
son. County councils are asked by the state coun-
Gil to start the machinery of detecting the slack
ers and towards and Of arousing public sentiment.
