Liberty Loan Delinquents Notified


An explanation for the persistent
selling in the Liberty Loan per cent
bonds was made yesterday by man
who has charge of comprehensive
system for receiving payments on the
instalment plan. In his judgment, much
Of the recent liquidation has been
caused by the inability of the holders
to continue the weekly or monthly pay
ments, as they may be, and as result
the financial institutions carrying the
bonds have, in order to protect them
selves, been forced to sell such hold
ings in the open market. 1t does not
seem unlikely that further selling Of
this character may be expected in the
near future, as a number of institu-
TORS have recently sent to those de-
linqucnt on their payments notices in
forming them that unless the overdue
instruments are paid within certain
period the bonds will be sold at the
current quotation, in which event the
seller will deduct from the amount al
ready paid in on the bonds the differ
ence between the market price and par,
returning the remainder to the origi-
nal purchaser of the bond.

Transportation was dem oralized,
accommodations were not to be had

at their homes hungry, filthy and

Soon afterward a full shipload of
American Red Cross workers, well
supplied with funds donated by the
people of this country, arrived in
France. They at once began a sys-

The families of soldiers were given

William Allen White Gives Interest
ing Sideli9htS on War Situation
Tells Difference Between De-
mocracy and AutOcracy

The people OF Germany have sur
rendered their conscience to their
state and have been taught to be-
lieve that might makes right; the
people of the United States and other
democratic nations have their con-
science in their own hearts and are
imbued with the inalienable belief
that right makes might. This condi-
| ton, according to William Allen
White, the noted editor of Emporia,
Kansas, is responsible for the present
great war. Mr. White addressed a
large audience in the college auditor
ium Tuesday evening on AN Inter
probation of the War as l Saw It."
He held the closest attention of his
/ audience throughout his discourse,
] but forceful way that sent every one
OF his listeners home much better
yersed in the war situation than
when he went to the auditorium.
Basing his conclusions upon the
vital difference between the autoc-
racy Of Germany and the democracy
of Great Britain, France and
! America, the speaker stated that the
people of the democratic nations
would never tolerate the atrocities
and the inhuman war practices en-
ployed by Germany. The German
people, he said, have been taught
from childhood to believe that the
interests of the state are paramount
to the interest or the conscience of
the people, that whatever the state
demands is right and that the peo-
pie must do its bidding at all times.
German officers and soldiers, after
accomplishing some atrocity or viola
ton of all the rules of international
warfare, are heralded throughout the
land as heroes and decorated with
war medals. The state demands such
unnatural methods of warfare, and
the soldiers, in the knowledge that
they are serving the state in the man
ner the government desires it to be
served, surrender their personal con-
sciences and reyel in the glory at
tanned.
On the other hand, the speaker
pointed to the effect such practices
on the part of the American soldiers
or officers would have upon the peo-
pie at home. "Our consciences would
assert themselves" he said, and we
would rebel" The American people,
} reared in the freedom of a demo
cratic country and taught that right

FARMERS OBJECT TO
CLOSING Of MILLS
Execution OF Order of Food Admins
tration Would Leave Them With
out Mill Feeds for Stock
Feeding

The farmers of Whitman county
VIII suffer an acute shortage of mill
feed for stock feeding purposes If
the latest order of the food admins
tration closing all the mills in this
part of the country is executed, ac-
cordins TO delegations of farmers
Who early this week waited upon
County Food Administrator j. n.
Emerson and asked him to use his
influence to secure stay of the
order for 30 days. The farmers
have returned all the excess seed
wheat following the spring planting
and were depending on the mill feed
from this wheat for feeding during
the coming few months. The i'm
mediate closing Of the western mills
would work an extreme hardship on
them, they say, forcing them to pay
freight on the mill feed from the
eastern mills, where the wheat would
be shipped for grinding.
In an effort to relieve the situation
County Food Administrator Emerson
addressed the following telegram to
Herbert Hoover:
Closing of the mills in Whitman
county and shipping the wheat we
have back east to be ground is work
ing a great hardship on our farmers
for feed for their stock. Our farm
ers have brought in every bushel of
wheat they had left after seeding this
spring to the mills and expected to
have the mill feeds back for their
stock, and now if the wheat Is ship
ped to eastern mills to be ground,
they will have no stock feed except
what they will be compelled to ship
back from the mills In the east, at
great expense for freight and also
great delay in shipping time. We
will be entirely out of mill feed
through the delay as we have been
using it as fast as it was ground. We
have no other feed here except wheat
mill feeds. If our mills in Whitman
county are permitted to run for 80
days more they will grind every bit
of surplus wheat in the country and
in this way would leave the mill feed
here for our stock. Won't you please
grant us this consideration?

County Food Administrator,

few students is credited to Harlan
Cannon, a recent graduate from the
eighth grade of the Pullman schools,
by George Schroeder, principal Of the
Main school During his eight years
as a student the boy has been Meth
er absent nor tardy and his scholas-
tic work has been excellent. The
boy whose proclyities for punctual-
ity are cited as an example for the
other students by the school heads is
the son of Matilda f. Cannon, city
