LEND A HELPING HAND

Now that the goal of the Third
Liberty Loan has been reached,
we must not pause for a moment
or deviate from our path of duty,
but take up Immediately another
step toward the advancement of
Liberty and Freedom. This Sec
ond step we can all take; let us
do it.
Beginning May 18th the people
of Maryland will inaugurate a
special campaign and drive for
the sale. of War Savings Stamps
with the object and intention
that the allotment of War Saw
ings Stamps sales for the State
of Maryland will be fully SUBJ
scribed.
There is a twofold purpose in
the war-savings loan-the pro-
motion of the savings habit
among the people and the secur.
ing of funds to meet expenditures
necessary to win the war. The
Government offers War Savings
Stamps payable in five years
with interest at four per cent
and backed by all the resources
of America. Naturally, under
these circumstances the stamps
are eminently desirable as an in
vestment, and by reason of their
convenient form offers excep-
tional opportunity to save money.
But the issue of paramount
consideration to every American
is not one of investment alone,
but it is the raising of revenue
to maintain the Army and Navy.
War Savings and Thrift Stamps
are a medium through which the
humblest in financial condition
can help the Republic which pro-
tects them. The Government is
now appealing especially to that
great body of our people affect
ionately denominated by Lincoln
as the "plain people" But
more than this, the appeal goes
out alike to rich and poor, to the
churches, fraternal societies, and
business organizations, as we'll
as to the man who tolls in the
fields. in the mines, and in all
the gainful occupations of life.
And to the wife of the farmer,
the women in the city, the
women so highly useful in indus
try, and to women everywhere
is likewise offered an opportunity
to help their Government.
Already many of our boys are
fighting on land and sea. They
have responded nobly to the Ma
tons call by offering their SER
vices, but in addition they have
contributed generously to the
fnanancial needs of the Govern
ment. Can the people at home
consistently be less liberal in
their contributions than our boys
now somewhere in France, in
the Navy, or in the environments
here? We can not periodically
be sparing with our dollars when
the men who keep the Flag in
the sky are willing to risk not
only their dollars but there lives.
Maryland has not sold nearly
the quantity it should. In order
to do its share in this great cause
tits necessary that every man,
woman and child in the State
purchase an average of 500 each
in War Savings and Thrift
Stamps. Will you help to do
this-have you bought your

COMMUNICATED

The occupation of Trieste, Gorilla
part of Carniola, Istria, Dalmatia to-
gether with numerous islands along
the Dalmation coast by the Allied
troops, among which the Italian
troops seem to be predominating, in
consequence of the armistice terms
signed between the commander of the
Austro- Hungarian army and the al
lies, has given the Italian chauvinists
in America an opportunity to launch
a great agitation in order to con-
vince the American public about
Italy's 'rights" to annex above men,
toned territory. The Italian Am
erican News Bureau at Chicago, for
instance, is feeding the American
press with all kinds of "news" about
the redeemed Italian and their his
torical and Photographed rights to
be united with their italian breth-
ren,,. 1t is pity that quite many
Americans, not knowing the true
conditions, as they exist in the in
volved territory, have already taken
the Italian claims as just and indis-
putable.
The Jugo-Slavs, especially we Slo-
venes knowing what an injustice
and what a calamity would befall
our motherland should she lose the
Adriatic coast with big part of her
population, feel that the Italian prop
uganda has reached the limits of i'm
pertinence, falsity and misleading
statements and must no longer go
unchallenged.
We hope that the American public
and especially the American press,
will give justice and consideration to
our side of the issue with the same
impartiality just as it gave to the
Italian side.
The Italian claims based upon So
called historical rights" are just as

Minnesota's rats probably cost
farmers and others 100000 an
nually. This estimate is based upon
a government estimate of $200,000,-
900 for the entire United States. In
other words, it requires the constant
labor of two men out of every 1000
to make up for the loss by rats. This
great waste may be very greatly re-
duced. For this reason the division
of entomology and economic zoology
of the Minnesota college of agricul-
ture, University Farm, st. Paul, is
seeking to encourage the people Of
Minnesota to begin campaign
against the rat by building rat-proof
structures for the housing of food
stuffs and by thorough-going trap
ping and poisoning. F. L. Washburn
who has the campaign in charge
urges Minnesota's> people to keep al
attractive food away from the pests
and to remove litter and refuse that
may give them shelter. Communit;e.
wishing to put on local campaigns
for the destruction of these pests
should correspond with Mr.. Wash

for the Jugoslavs. The main point

for the Jugoslavs. The main point
is this:
We are well aware of the facts
that the United States and allied
nations are not so much interested
whether the Jugoslavs, within the
borders of late Austria Hungary,
prosper undivided and free, or wheth-
er they perish dismembered and en-
shaved by other monarcho-imperial-
istic interests as they are interested
in sound makeup of future peace.
The proposed annexation of the
Jugoslav territory by Italy will, by
no means, contribute to such peace,
as desired, but on contrary, it will
leave a new Alsace-Lorraine; it will
leave for Italy an "Slava Irredenta"
costing her an untold amount of
trouble with no prospect of solution
other than it is proposed now: Self
determination!
Let the people decide! Let the
issue be settled in the only just and
democratic way, as proposed by Pres
ident Wilson. Let the plebiscite of
the inhabitants of Gorilla, Trieste,
Istria, occupied part of Carniola
Dalmatia and Dalmati' n island, upon
the basis of the universal, secret and
equal suffrage, both sexes to be ell
igible, and under the supervision OF
an American commission, decide
whether they want to belong to a free
republic of Jugoslavia, or to be an
nexed by foreign nation.

IF the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been 1mpos-
sible for them to maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-

If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than Justlhed the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d-
rectons and upon -tlfe mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances. "
The history of the Food Administra-
ZION has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

The whines of the Germans are, as
usual, addressed to President Wilson.
DIR. Solf complains that if the armis-
tice terms are enforced the people of
Germany will go hungry. He well
knows that plea for the non-enforce-
ment of those terms for such reason
would fall upon deaf ears in England
and France, where the people know
at first hand of the treatment accord
ed the civilian population of France
and Belgium during the last four
years. Such matters had much bet
ter be left to the English and French
for settlement rather than to an in
dividual who has never been nearer
than 5000 miles to the war zone

best microscopes on International

Bill before jury.

an enemy to the whole world that
dares to hold him from exact justice
for his long list Of crimes. 1t is the
duty Of any country harboring Bill

that he fades. If International law
Rves him, then the laws were made
by crookeder men than Bill-but we
do not believe that they were so
fixed. When time swings around
to the right moment, then will Bill
appear in court, we believe, and ex-
plate his crimes. The greatest
monster since before and after Judas

cause there is small blowhole some
where in International laws. It will

depths where the Lusitania went
down call for justice to be done. The
little children hold up their hands to

protected from litigation. This pro-
lection ceases when he leaves the
army, or even before, for in the eyes
of the law the soldier becomes civil
ian two months before he is required
to doff his uniform. Hence prompt
action is necessary in order to secure
him full protection under the Civil
Relief Act.s The Legal Aid Com
mittees were formed in response to a
general sense of duty to those who
left their homes to fight for their
country. The warrior, who after
risking his life now returns home

his welfare. Of course, there is no
doubt that the committees will con-
tinue to serve as long as their aid is
needed. All that is necessary is re-
hinder that their prompt assistance
is more urgently required now than
during the mobilization of the army.
