THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Third Lib
erty Loan closed with some 1900
600 Americans purchasing about
$4,000, 600, 600 of bonds.
Hundreds Of thousands of indi-
vidual citizens, thousands of corpora
lions and associations, and practic-
ally every newspaper and bank in the
country gave literally of their time,
space, effort, and money to make the
people of the country was common
surate with the appeal made to them.
One great feature of the loan is its
wide distribution. The farmers of
the country, the people living in ru-
raj communities, in the small towns
and villages, not only subscribed lib
orally to the loan, but subscribed
promptly. In fact, to a very great eX-
tent rural communities were earlier
in making up their quotas than the
larger cities. Secretary McAdoo we'll
calls this wide distribution of the
loan among the people the soundest
financing in the world
The sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds
is only one-half of the transaction,
The government in selling the bonds
is collecting money from the people.
From now on until the bonds are
finally called in and paid for the gov
eminent will be disbursing money to
the people. 1t is going to be of in
calculable benefit, not only to the in
dividual bond holders but to the
country at large that these annual
interest payments and the final pay
ment of the bonds are going to be
widely distributed ann ng the body of
the people, not paid only to large
financial institutions, nor paid in
large amounts to the jewellers in the
cities, nor paid to banks and other
corporations, but paid to individual
citizens, the rank and file of the
American people.
The Liberty Loan is going to prove
great national blessing to the ma
ton and to the people of the nation
Through it is to be enforced against
our enemies the irresistible might of
this invincible republic, bringing vic
tory to America and her allies and
that liberty and justice and ciyiliza-
ton which they are fighting for.
1t is a great bond between the peo-
pie and the government, a great bond
uniting in one great effort all of our
people. and bringing economy and
saving and prosperity to millions of
American homes.

SOMEBODY'S BUSINESS

Some people seem to resent being
notified as to what is their fair share
OF Liberty Bond or a Red Cross
quota and Indignantly exclaim: 1T
is nobody's business how much loan
the government or how much | give
to the Red Cross -"
They are mistaken 1t is some
body's business to know who are
helping to win the war and who are
not
II one of these DIRECTORS should
happen to have some horses or cattle
stolen from him. he would think that
it was somebody's business to try to
apprehend the thief and recover the
stolen animals.
If his life or property should be
threatened by outlaws, he would
think that it was somebody's business
to afford him protection. If some
childless heighbors should attempt to
close up the country school which his
boys and girls were attending, he
would think that it was somebody's
business to see that the school be
kept running. If some persons tried
to close the only road leading to his
home, he would think that it was
somebody's business to keep the road
open.
The somebody upon whom he re
lies to protect his life, property and
rights is the government. If it is the
governments business to protect him,
it is his business to protect the gov
eminent. He and each of his neigh
bors are a part of the government
and it is somebody's business in time
of war to see that each one does his
part and to report those who are
Sinking to the proper authorities.
1t is not only somebody's business,
but it is somebody's duty, to keep tab
on the financial, as well as the mil
itary slackers, on the hoarders of
money as we'll as the hoarders of
food.

A CONFESSION OF DEFEAT

Thousands of our finest young men
are renouncing all that life holds
dear in order that the next genera

and brutality of organized and ag-
gressiye force. Thousands of moth
ers all over the land are finding COM

many will bring with it defeat for all
time of the theories and the institu-
tons that have impelled Germany to
plunge the world into this red hor-
ror, just as they would have impelled
any nation where the minds of men
lived under their baneful sway.
President Wilson has SGT the nations

men, 1t has become a PROMISE and
a determination. 1t involves the de-
teat OF Germany only because the
Germany government has become the
supreme exponent of the statesman
snip that relies on force and agsres-
sion. British labor would not 90 on
Tor single day without this faith.
II the war were a struggle between
parochial nationalism and nothing
more. Pacifist America-pacifist in
the sense that the President is pacif-
lst-Would not face the stupendous
sacrifices that lie ahead of us if we
were not sustained by this faith. We
are united for the defeat of Germany
as the first necessary step in its reali-
cation. And, looking ahead, the
statesmen of the democratic forces of
America and England are united for
the second step.
Given the defeat of Germany and
her compulsory acquiescence in a
world program, they are determined
that this program shall begin with
the casting out of the diplomacy that
relies on great military establish
ments which burden the people, stifle
democratic aspirations, and in them
selves incite to aggression and belli-
costly. Premier Lloyd-George has
said within recent weeks that one of
the country's most important war
aims would not be achieved if after
this war there were need of universal
military service. To admit such
need is to admit that the allies are to
fail, and the coming peace to be but
a truce. Condition universal mill
tary service on failure or only partial
victory in the present war, and all
England and America would answer
Aye to those who urge it with this
condition. But condition it on allied
victory, and the answer of the allied
democracies is that he who proposes
it proposes the betrayal of our cause
and moeks our dead-The Public.

WILL CONFISCATE FLOUR
AND PROSECUTE HOARpERS

Spokane, Wash. May 21.-So
critical has the wheat situation be-
come and SO great is the necessity
for shipment OF every possible pound
OF flour to the allies that Federal
Food Administrator Hebberd has is
sued another appeal to the people of
ashlngton to return all flour above
actual minimum household require
ments. Back of the appeal, however,
is a threat of the food administra-
ticn to invoke the power of the food
control law against all hoarders of
flour and all penny-patriots who per-
sist in exceeding flour allotments to
the detriment of the government.
If food fails We can not hold
out declared Hebberd. in issuing
the appeal to the people. Supply
ing food for the allies is America $
prime responsibility and privilege.
France, England, Italy. and stricken
Belgium are stalking their existence
on Americas food resources. especi-
ally on her wheat Under these cir
cumstances anyone who boards flour
or other food products not only pro-
longs the war, but actually aids and
comforts the enemy and lengthens
the casualty lists of our own sol
diers."
After conducting an investigation
covering several weeks, food admin
istration officials have determined
that large quantities of flour are be-
ing boarded in cities. towns and in
the country communities of the state
It is imperative that this flour be
returned within the next 80 days
for the use of the military and naval
forces and for the allies. according
10 Mr.. Hebberd.
No further appeals to patriotism
viii be issued" declared Hebberd.
1t is no time to quibble. Those of
lis who remain behind must fortify
the boys at the front not in loyalty
alone, but by strict observance of
those regulations designed to furnish
the allies with supplies The need is
Sc acute that it is now found neces-
sary to enforce the laws to conserve
supplies and insure quick delivery of
all flour above absolute require
rents"
Unless an immediate response to
the food administration appeal is
shown, confiscation of boarded flour,
followed by arrests and prosecution
will result, it was declared at food
administration headquarters. The
federal food law prescribes a fine
for boarding of $4,000, imprisonm ent
for two years, or both.
Except in a few eases hoarders in
this state have escaped with having
food stuffs seized and confiscated
This policy, according to Mr.. Heb
berd, will soon cease and criminal
proceedings will be substituted.
Libeling of boarded flour and prose
cntons have already been started in
Seattle in the federal courts.

BILL PROPOSES
GIVING AID TO
WESTERN MINES
cBy Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Leg-
islation to encourage the mining in
the United States of minerals nee
essary to the manufacture of war
materials, but now largely import
ed from South America and Eu-
rope. was recommended to congress
today by Secretary Lane He sent
TO Senator Henderson of Nevada,
chairman of the mines committee,
a draft of a bill carrying an ap-
preparation of S5O.0OO,OO0 from
which financial assistance would
be given to prOspectors in develop
ing the mining of these minerals.
Minerals, the quantity production
of which the administration hopes
to see developed. are manganese,
pyrite. antimony. platinum. mer-
curry, tungsten, sulphur. tin and
graphite. Al, are found in this
country and especially in the west
ern states.
Development OF such m i n Q $
would release thousands of tons of
shipping now used in importing
the minerals. it was said. and also
would tend to keep down the rapid
ly increasing prices cf the com
modities.
Senator Henderson today called
a meeting of his committee for
next Saturday 20 becin considera-
tion of the bill with the view to
an early report to the senate.

Haig's Statement

LONDON, April 1.-THE officisl re-
port from Field Marshal Tulig's head
quarters in France tonight reads:
The enemy pressed his attacks
strongly throughout the day on the
whole northern battle front. Heavy
end continuous assaults have been de,
livered by fresh German divisions in
the region of the River Lave between
Loisne and Lastrem.
In this fighting the fifty-first di-
vision has beaten off incessant attacks
with great loss to the enemy and by
vigorous and successful counter at
tacks has re-captured positions into
which the enemy had forced his way.
Heavy fighting has taken place at
Estaires and between Estaries and
Steenwreck. In this sector also many
attacked in strength and succeeded in
pushing back our line to just north
Of these places.
Admits Enemy Gains
North of Armentieres a determined
attack developed this morning against
ou rpositions in the neighborhood OF
Ploegsteert wood and the enemy made
some progress. Further north a heavy
attack was launched this morning
against our lines in the neighbOrhood
of Wytschaete and Hollebeke. but was
completely repulsed by the ninth di-
vision with great loss to the enemy
Fighting is continuing on the whole
front between La Bassee canal and
the Ypres-Comines canal. On the re.
mainder of the British front the day
again passed comparatively quiet"
