and his hands were blackened and
burned. AS he stood there he felt a
little tug at the skirt of his coat. He
glanced down and saw a little girl look

That Christian w. Feigenspan, of
the United, is made of the stuff from
which real patriots are made, is to
be seen in his statement, published in
the papers on last Sunday, regarding
the order of the Food and Fuel Ad-
ministration and President Wilson,
prohibiting the manufacture of beer
after December 1st. Sc says the sud
denness of the announcement and the
nearness of the date when beer must
cease to be brewed, were naturally a
surprise and shock to the brewing
industry. He deplores the effect the
order will have on the real estate mar
ket and then says Il am sure the
president must be in possession of
facts making this move necessary and
it is not only OUR DUTY TO COM
PLY WITH THE ORDER, BUT IT is
OUR PRIVILEGE to make this su-
preme sacrifice on the altar of pa
triotism." President Feigenspan con-
siders it a privilege to give up for
tune to the cause of our country That
is what you call REAL patriotism. If
the president and the Food and Fuel
administration had taken the same
stand against prohibition for the
same reason that they issued orders
against the manufacture of beer after
December 1st, would the drys have
accepted the mandate in the same pa
triotic spirit with which Mr., Feigen-
span did? It is to be very much
doubted, very, very much so. J. A.
White, campaign manager of the Ohio
Dry Federation, says the ''liquor
bunch" is disloyal. This is not true
and Mr.. White knows it isn't when he
says so. There is no more loyal ele-
ment in the country than the liquor

Boy Scouts Festival To Open
Next Monday.
Great Interest Among the Boys
Of the Various Troops Who
Will Benefit By This
Event.

Announcement was made this aft
ernoon that the Boy Scouts Festival
will open next Monday evening at
7:30 p. M, on the Dodsworth Lot To-
Gated on East Avenue. The commit
tee in charge feel justified in stating
to the public that each attraction in
operation during the festival will bear
the mark of pure amusements. They
guarantee that each feature is clean,
moral and refined, their aim is to make
the festival one that will equal any
thing of its kind ever seen in this part
of the state There will be twenty
attractions on the Joy Zone. One of
the paid attractions to be seen here of
an extraordinary nature will be the
Trip to Chinatown. This feature
stands out as one of great value to
mankind; it shows in all vividness the
terrible work of the drug habit. 1t
has the sanction of the many doctors
who have made this a life study.
There will be hundreds of lights to IL
Illuminate the grounds, many free acts
will be offered during the week with
band concerts each afternoon and eve
ming. The various shows and features
will begin to arrive in the city about
Friday Of this week, but no amuse-
ments viii be offered until Monday
evening, September 16, at 7:3O p. m.

Liberty Loan
Primer.
You Count In One Way Only.

Never, so much as now, has the in
dividual counted for SO little.
Individual rights, individual privi-
leges, individual responsibilities have
given way to the greater considera-
tion, the welfare of the people as a
whole.
For nations, not peoples or races,
have taken in hand the destinies of
the world. The individual has been
pre-emptorily put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. 1t is not for any
one man to say.
The Kaiser soon is to realize this.
But there is one way in which you
CAN count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
storm tossed world.
You can make your little individual
contribution to the cause of freedom,
of world democracy, of permanent
peace.
You can buy Liberty Bond.
You can otherwise be subordinated,
effaced, shunted into comparative OBJ
livion and made to feel that you no
longer count.
But here you can take your little
place in the sun.
It's chance of lifetime, THE
CHANCE of yours.
Don't miss it.

NATIONAL
WILSON WHISTLES

President Wilson left the office of
Secretary of War Baker the other day
whistling as he went.
Some whistle as they mediate.
Some whistle when they are jubil-
ant.
Nobody ever whistles when he is
down-hearted.
And nobody who is dour and haugh-
ty and brutal ever whistles.
The whistIing man is pretty sure
to be democrat, truly-a man who
has a sense of belonging to the peo-
pie, human, healthy and happy.
One cannot imagine the Kaiser
whistling. 1t isn't likely that Ferdin-
and of Bulgaria, or the Sultan of Tur-
key ever whistle. You can imagine

The fine spirit in which the order
of the Fuel Administration that pleas
ure riding be omitted on Sunday as
necessary measure of gasoline conser-
vation has been met, certainly speaks
we'll for the patriotism and loyalty of
our auto-owning citizens. On last
Sunday very few machines were to be
seen on the streets outside those driven
by the Home Guards attending the
encampment at the fair grounds. Much
criticism was heard of these men fly
ing back and forth with their ma
chimes. While it is true many of them
were from the rural districts and had
no other means of transportation, yet
the order of the Fuel Administration
says that automobiles should be used
on Sunday for essential purposes only
and surely an encampment is not alb
solutely a necessity or essential. But
this isn't ALL Many of the riders
were Hamilton men and girls and the
whole took on a nature of JOY riding
and developed much sore feeling
against the Home Guard organization
that will be a long time healing up.
Other owners of automobiles felt that
Home Guards and their friends should
use the street cars or walk as well
as they, and they are right. The
Home Guard uniform doesn't give any
one any special privileges. Those
Hamilton members who rode in auto
mobiles last Sunday showed a lack
of patriotism that shouldn't exist in
an organization of this kind.

The Cincinnati Labor Advocate says
the street car ordinance will go to
referendum md that by this route the
sliding scale that permits so much
stealing, will be slid into the waste
basket. The Advocate also asks
"What does Kesley Schoepf do to get
$4,000 a year," Go to it, Brother
Myers, keep up your fight, if you need
any help, call on Hamilton, every
man, woman and child in this city are
back of you in this scrap. Kesley
Schoepf is the same fellow, who, when
a committee composed of Hamilton's
most prominent and influential citi-
zens called at his office for the pur-
pose of trying to persuade him to give
Hamilton car service through East
Hamilton and over Prospect Hill, aft
er leaving the committee in an outer
office for long time, finally sent
word out that he was busy and didn't
have time to talk about street car
service in Hamilton. Outside of win
ming the war, all that Hamiltonians
ask for is that Kesley Schoepf be at
the head of the Ohio Electric and that
they will be alive at the time of the
expiration of the twenty-five year
franchise that the company holds in
this city. They can die happy after
that. Again, go to it, Brother Myers.

here to-day when their airplane col
lided with another machine at a
height Of about 800 feet. The two &C.
cupants of the other machine were un-
injured.
The two airplanes were locked to-
gether by the impact. The machines
descended slowly to height of about
$50 feet, when the aviators broke the
lock and both machines fell headlong.
The cadets in the other machine, whose
names the authorities declined to make
public, escaped without scratch.
Lieutenant Kuen was an instructor
at Richfeld and Private Snyder mem

Enemy at Toul Fires
90 Shells i'm 48 Hours
by The Associated Prcss)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 25.-The last forty-eight
hour have been the quietest in the
Toul sector since the Americans took
it over. In that period only ninety
enemy shells fell within the whole sec
tor. The American artillery was some
what more active. The American shells
fired numbered into the hundreds.
Americans this morning watching
German Arches Smelling plane sud-
denly observed one smoke puff burst di-
rectly underneath the machine, which
dived earthward. A few hundred yards
above the ground, however, the pilot
seemed to gain momentary control, for
the machine Strengthened out. 1t only
remained straight for a moment when
it side-slipped and crashed to the earth
between the Quart de Reserve and La
Hayville.
The American patrols continue their
work nightly. Last night one entered
the German positions and proceeded
as far back as the second line south
west of Sonnard Wood without en-
countering single German, although
several work parties were heard.
One of the American patrols in the
Luneville sector this morning found
the body of dead German in No Mans
Land. Apparently the man had been
killed by she'll fire, and the patrol
brought in much valuable information
obtained from papers in the mans
pockets.

IS Germans to Die
For Ostend Exploit

LONDON, May 25.-Fishermen re-
turning to port to-day brought reports
that thirteen German sailors have been
sentenced TO death and two to i'm
rrisonment for twenty years by Ger
man court martial for attempted trea-
son in connection with the recent Brit
ish naval raids against the German
submarine bases at Ostend and Zee
brugge. These reports are based on
information said to have come from
Bruges, Belgium
The Germans have succeeded in
shifting the concrete laden cruiser Vim
dictive, sunk in the harbor of Ostend
on May 10 by British raiding forces.
The Vindictive, according to "The
Times" is now lying close alongside
the eastern pier, leaving q passage
about thirty feet wide. This is enough
to allow destroyers to go in and out,
but, nevertheless, the Germans are not
using the harbor.
Unsuccessful attempts have been
made by the Germans to dredge a
passage way between the two old
cruisers sunk in the harbor of Zee
brugge. A German destroyer, sunk
this week by bombs dropped by Brit
ish naval airmen. lies close to the
cruisers.
The basin at Bruges, which is con-
nected with both Ostend and Zee
brugge. is full of German shipping.
