WHAT The VICTORY o. o.
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globetrotter,
10 the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germany's victory would me9u al
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, ciyi'.1R-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, 70 Amer
ica 1t would mean infinitely more
1t would mean our first national de
feat and, thus would smash oar per
feet record for victories record rs
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag Even as
beaten army never wholly regalus Us
old form-even as beaten ring cham-
pion sinks at once into dasuetude-so
our nation Qts traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
inflict.
1t would mean that the man VINO has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel MS former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph Thus, the moral tone of the in
dividual, as well as of the nation,
would inevitably be lower I'd.
This country has never embarked in
war of conquest. From 1770 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unseltishness
OF our war aims has given us the vic
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction Of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany Is
now battling. Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is
hundredfold justified.

Buy War Saving Stamps
The Huns Abroad and
The PaCifistS at Home

Contributed by CASPAR WHIT
NEY, now at the front for the IN. \.
Tribune" to the National security
Leagues campaign of PATRIOTISM
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet
friend" intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men. women and children, there are
those among us protesting loyalty ana
intelligence who practically say THIS Is
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to US Americans as was the VIC
tory OF 1915.
Then we declared for independence
now we fight to maintain 1t.
1t is not merely that we tight In
answer to indignity and material In
Jury done us through attack on our
rights as nation and on the lives
of our citiZens-not merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
ples-that we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation as republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen Of
the world
The world cannot rest In peace While
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her blood-dripping hands
The world cannot live In peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
snonsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts of treaChery, of vandalism,
of bestiallty, of murder that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail either the German brutal right OF
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-must succumb In this
conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fall under the domination Of people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
"kultur" of a military oligarchy shall
live.
PrussianiSm is devoid of honor
truth, justice or mercy, as Its own acts
have proved and Its defeat is neces-
sary first step for the peace OF the
world and the freedom of civilization.
For the safety of American institu-
tions 1t must be destroyed; for the
safety Of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all Of us.
We are In the midst of war, our war,
the war of every freeman, of every
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice,
and atrocious acts; and if we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifsts at home with
all our strength.

that is essential with the rather sub

There are long strings of coral
beads, which fall over white or pale

there are strings of coral and dull gold,
to which are attached smart lorgnettes

A woman lunchlng at hotel wore
taupe suit, a small black lisere turban
draped with long taupe-colored veil
and black patent leather pumps, with
taupe-colored spats.
The only bright note Of color In her
costume was a pair Of coral earrings,
the spheres Of coral set close against
her ear lobes beneath waves Of dark
hair. The warm. bright note Of coral
gave interest and distinction TO her
whole costume, otherwise quiet and
neutral in tone.

buttons and buttonholes being purely

ranged to hold the coat together If
such an arrangement Is preferred.
The coat as designed has an elon-

and this may be used or omitted.
A coat that slips over the head Is
something decidedly new, but for mo-

EXCHANGE OF LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS

You can assist the Treasury De-
partment and protect our citizens by
preventing Liberty Loan Bonds from
being offered in exchange for securi-
ties or merchandise.
In certain states il has been discov-
cred and steps have already been TAX
en- to discourage such exchanges. The
Treasury Department advises that it
thoroughly approves Of this action.
II requests that every State Council
shall be on the watch for and shall
check all offers to accept Government
bonds in exchange.
Regarding the exchange Of securi-
ties for Liberty Loan Bonds, the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury has pointed
out, not only that this impedes the
Governments financial program, but
also that large percentage Of the
securities so offered have been found
TO be worthless and the mere fact that
any security is offered in this unpat-
riotic way justifies suspicion and an
investigation of its character.
Secretary McAdoo has said, when
the Bonds are exchanged for mer-
chandise, il defeats the primary pur-
pose Of their sale, it discourages
thrift and increases expenditures,
thus depriving the Government Of
labor and material needed for war
purposes" In addition, bonds taken
in exchange are usually sold immedi-
ately in the open market, thus depres-
sing the market price.
