Keep Up Work
For Third Liberty Lean

SUBSCRIPTIONS to the Third
~ Liberty Loan total upwards of
one billion dollars and the three bill
lions sought will surely be raised. If
some of the reserve bank districts
have been disappointing to treasury
officials and some Of the large cities
still more disappointing, the home
stretch drive should bring satisfactory
results.
The rural sections have done better
this time than in former campaigns,
and that is significant and highly en-
couraging. But large increases in
Liberty Loan pledges must be made
within the next week if the goal is
to be reached by the end of the month.
Money as well as man power is
needed to win the war and the need
is imperative. American patriotism
is keyed up to the highest pitch. The
Stacker, much in evidence when the
United States first declared wal
against Germany, is now virtually g

A London newspaper cites as an in
dignity the fact that chimney sweepers
in that city have increased their pre-war
prices about 200 per cent and refuse to
leave behind the SCOT swept from CHM

It is such little things that tell us how
far behind we have left England in the
matter OF domestic conveniences. Such

say:

..ou,,n,,nce with Fathen Finn

"When Judge Hundley and myself
visited Mrs. A. ]. Oschner in her ceau-
tiful home in Chicago" said Mrs. Os-
car Il. Hundley yesterday, 1--WE had the
pleasure Of meeting at dinner party
one evening Father William Joseph
Finn, conductor of the Paulist Choir
listers. who will appear in concerts Fri
day afternoon and night at the JET
ferson theatre for the benefit OF the
French war fund and the event is
most pleasantly rem rendered
II found Father Finn to be a man
of great genius and talent. He was
for years choirmaster in Boston, which
with the number of years he has been
with the Paulist choir would make him
a. much older man than he appears
HE and his choir are strongly err
tt enched in the hearts of Chicago peo-
boys The tours which Father Finn
and the boys have made have been
the most sensationally successful ever
achieved by any choral body. In Nsw
York. Boston and other large cities
hundreds have been turned away. I'M
able to gain admission to the concerts,
and the same has been the case in
many of the smaller cities in which
the singers have appeared.
Especially noteworthy is the num-
Der of boys voices which have been
trained by Father Finn. Nearly 80 are
boys from to is years, and thcrc
are 20 or more with soprano voices as
Clear and silvery as bells.

ing, so impelling a cause as the res

not only to those of the Scot
fish race, but to all other liber-

The old Scottish parliament,
long since suspended or sunk,
but by no means abolished, is
about to be re-established in the
ancient Scottish capital, the city
of Edinburgh, the statesmen
and leagues having the matter
in hand not waiting until after
the war, as was at first proposed,
for the establishment Of the
same.
They may however decide to
wait until after the Irish par
lament is established before
opening the Scottish parliament
