Immediately 1t is sounded, they
troup out from every conceivable cor.

men, watching with eager, hungry eyes
every bite that is dished out. A fellow
can't eat his prunes very comfortably
with such an audience. and the men
here have divided every meal with
these little fellows, who are the chill.
dren OF men saving France"
A hometown" private, one Of the
Engineers who has been building rail-
armies in France. sent that message
home. He is one Of the men who has
been dividing his daily ration Of soup
ami beans, Of meat and prunes, with
the children who are the soul Of
France.
WOMEN GIVE WHEAT,
SONS AND MONEY
American women, everywhere, and
Western women second to none, have
borne their part in the fight. They
have saved their meat and their wheat,
they have given their husbands and
sons. Their money is going now. In
the first, second and third Liberty
loans they have invested their dollars.
Opportunity to serve has come again.
The Government is seeking funds. It
ID asking for the third of its three-fold
need-men, munitions and money.
The hand that rocked the cradle is
holding the purse strings in these mo-
mentous days. For their boys Western
mothers will not withhold the needed
gold America has started on the road
to Berlin. The way is long one,
and travelling is difficult. But the jour-
ney must be made. and the pilgrims
must be equipped.
1t is no longer question of shall
we buy bonds with American mothers.
That was answered when the boys
went over there. It is no longer a
question Of can we buy bonds" The
experience Of the first three loans has
answered that.
The question for Western women, in
company with women all over the land.
to answer is what is the limit to
which can. by sacrifice and saving.
by going without and working for
what as the limit which can reach ?"
CAN'T STOP SHORT
OF BERLIN GOAL
1t would be sorry ending Of jour.
ney to have America stop short of Der.
lin. 1t is inconceivable that our SO
diers should stop short OF that goal. Z.
Can you, women of the West, pause In
the great task which has been set for
YOU? Can you halt for an instant In
the face Of the country's need?
Win all OF those planned purchases
weigh in the scale with the call which
comes ringing across from those plains
where the boys are fighting? It is to
keep your boy on the march toward
the final goal that the Government
asks you to lend it your utmost.
Il regret that have but one life to
give for my country" said Nathan
Hale, as he assembled the enemy's
gallows.
Ours Is the task to save lives for
our country, to save by lending our all
at its request. The Fourth Liberty
Loan gives American mothers and ais.
ters new opportunity to make impos.
sible regret that they had but one
chance to give.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is ours.
What Is our utmost? The country
awaits our answer.

PLANNING FOR FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Three Weeks Beginning September 2S,
The Present Idea of Government
Officials

fourth Liberty Loan will be
launched on September 2Sth, and con-
tinue until October 10th, according to
the present plan of the U. S. Treasury.
An announcement is expected this
week in order to permit Liberty Loan
workers and business interests to ar
range for the campaign.
The length of the drive will be re-
duced from the usual four weeks, as
recommended by many Liberty Loan
workers, with the hope of avoiding the
usual slump of interest in the middle
of the campaign.
Reasons prompting officials to
choose these dates included the fact
that farmers during October probably
can make liberal subscriptions from
harvest proceeds, and that it was de-
sirable to end the campaign a week or
two before the November elections.
Thousands of candidates for Office are
expected to enroll as Liberty Loan
speakers, although discussion of politi-
cal issue will not be tolerated.

NOVEL "STUNTS" TO

Chance To Get Revenge On The
Kaiser, General Hindenburg,
Associates And U-Boats
! SCENE OF BATTLEFIELD

Some time ago the Capital anounc-

Fete grounds, and that baseballs will
be provided with which to get revenge
on these Huns.
These stunts" are new to Annapo-

given the fremen painters for the
splendid work they are doing with
paint and brush.
] A scene depicting the battle field
"over there" with our boys in the
trenches. barbed-wire entanglements,
shells bursting on the ground and in
the air, and aeroplanes lowering over
head, is worthy of more than a casual
glance and is sure to be the attrac-
tion center Amid this scene there
will be a line of boch soldiers con-
stantly marching along, and the OBJ
ject will be to see how many of these
fiends you can put on his back out of
three chances.

The gentlemen who are responsible
for this line of up-to-date ball-throw-

make it a success, and those who at
tend the lawn fete should patronize
it to the best of their means.
The date of the Lawn Fete is draw

The whole affair, because of the

FOR MUFFLERS ON
ALL u. S. TRUCKS
Order Expected From Adjutant Gen.
eral Within A Few Days. OF
Interest Locally

OF considerable interest locally
where there has been much complaint
of noise. is the announcement just
made that the Adjutant General of the
U. S. Army is to issue an order in
structing all drivers of government
trucks to use their mufilers when pass
ing through cities and towns.
Motor Vehicle Commissioners Baugh-
man, of Maryland, recently complain
ed to Secretary of War Baker about
the noise the government trucks make
when passing through Maryland towns
and cities because of the failure of
the drivers to use their mufflers Mr.
Baker referred him to Colonel Fred
Glover, head of the Motor Transport
Service of the army, and the latter
put the matter up to the Quarter
master Generals Department
Yesterday Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Perlman received a letter from
Colonel Glover inclosing a copy of a
letter addressed by Acting Quarter
master General r. e. Wood to the Ad-
jutant General asking the latter official
to issue a general order that will rem
edy the conditions set forth in Mr..
Baughman's complaint.

ECONOMY OF PAPER
URGED ONCE MORE

The strict necessity for conserving
the army's paper supply is emphasized
in a new general order announcing
still further economies A previous
general order was devoted to the ques-
tion.
The new order lays down the follow
ing rules for mimeographing work:
Both sides of the sheet will be used
when the work requires more than a
single page. No title page will be
used. If the copy does not fill page,
the unused portion of the sheet will be
cut off and used for other mimeo-
graphs or blocked into scratch pads.
Sizes of editions of mimeopraphical
pamphlets will be computed for i'm
mediate needs, and no additional
copies will be made.
No articles of issue are to be wrap
ped unless, like sugar, they cannot be
carried without, or unless paper is
needed to protect them during transit.
The same rule will be observed with
regard to wrapping packages of medi-
cine.
Those who are especially conscien-
tious, however, will carry their sugar
a spoon at a time, making as many
trips as necessary.
