THE OPEN COLUMN
That Letter Home.

Editor the Missourian: The colleg
student at school seems a long way of
to his parents. The only connecting
link between them is the letter.
The student too often neglects the
regular letter home There is al
ways something which draws him
away when he intends writing. And
when he does write, it is carelessly.
He cuts the letter short so that he
can get away to do something else.
Few students realize how much
their letters mean to the folks at
home
They are waited for eagerly and
read with deep interest. A careless
short letter is a disappointment.
Think of this when you write home
next. R.G

THE SERB OFFENSIVE

As a practical demonstration of the
ideal that America is fighting for, the
reconstruction of the Serbian army
fighting with French units, and at
tacking the Bulgarians, offers food
for thOught-food which is well-nigh
indigestible to the Central Powers
That Serbia, the little country which
has bled so long and so woefully for
freedom. should at last be put back
on her feet by the big nations, shows
in a realistic, understandable way to
the TeutOns that the ideal of safety
for small nations is not a dream but
a practical realizable idea which is
being and is going to be translated
into action.
French guns and French soldiers
are aiding the Serbs British and Am
erican money and supplies have been
sent there in large quantities. Italian
soldiers are supporting one wing of
the army of the Serbs. and if efforts in
the United States Senate to force
declaration of war on Bulgaria are
successful, it may yet be announced
that American soldiers are fighting
side by side with these freedom lovers
of the Balkans.
Indeed the American soldiers seem
to be going everywhere the Germans
least expect them to be these days.
And they certainly ought to have their
share in bringing Serbia back into
the fight so that she can give the Bull
garians a Knockout blow.

Austria must cry Enough" to the
Allies, before her plea for the begin
ming Of peace negotiations can even
be considered.
NUn-binding discussions. or as Lloyd
George says. conversations, are use
less.
President Wilson's reply shows the
temper Of the American people, their
attitude toward the idea OF peace
discussions.
There can be no discussion Of peace
until Germany and Austria. Bulgaria
and Turkey. the Nefarious League. are
beaten into the dust-until they are
taught that it does not pay TO deal IN
fairly with other peOples-until they
are taught that right is the only law
that holds eternally
Until then the war must go on
Germany, the master in the league
OF Central Powers. is temperamental-

Allies unless il is forced upon her

been that the Germans are superior

pie must have equal rights with her.
Force is the only argument that
can appeal to that type of mind. And .

ARE YOUR BONDS CONVERTIBLE
The Time For Exchanging VIII Expire
November 9.

November 8.
The following notice in regard TO
the conversion of Liberty Loan bonds
has been issued by William G. Nc
AdOO, Secretary of the Treasury:
THE privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence Of the issue of
AZ per cent bonds of the Third Lib
erty Loan will expire November and
under existing law cannot be extended
or renewed. Holders of these 4 per
cent bonds lose nothing by exercising
the privilege OF conversion and gain
Il per cent interest per annum. Hold
ers of per cent bonds should not
wait until the last moment TO exer-
else the privilege Of conversion, but
proceed to do so promptly. Delay
will result in overburdening the bank
in institutions of the country and the
Treasury Department by making it
necessary TO handle all conversions
at the last moment, and may result
in the loss Of the privilege of con-
version altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request issue of
registered bonds in order 20 protect
themselves against the risk ot loss,
theft and destruction OF their bonds.
Official department circular No.
ia, with forms of application, has
been distributed to federal reserve
banks and banks and trust companies
throughout the United States. These
institutions are asked, as a matter of /
patriotic service. to assist bond hold
ers in exchanging 4 per cent bonds |
for Az per cent bonds and in regis
tering their bonds"
