PATRIOTIC INVESTMENTS.

Law and order underlie all invest
ments. II life and person are inse-
cure everything else is I'm danger.
That is the reason why the French
poet wrote the lines.
'"There is only one future-that of our
country!
There Is only one foresight-our
country!
There is only one economy-our
country!'
No matter how many farm mort.
cages you may have; no matter how
many skyscrapers you may own; no
matter how many flat buildings you
may have for rent, or how many fac
tories you may be operating every In
vestment you have rests on the SOW
ereignty of the United States Of Amer
lea. The slightest danger that con-
fronts the United States acts as a de-
probation Of every piece of property
you own. Your farm is valuable to
you because the United States of
America has enacted laws which in
sure your right to the fee and title
of your land. Anything that weak
ems the authority of the United States
weakens your hold on your farm. Any
thing that cheapens the United States
of America in the eyes of nations
cheapens all the investments you
have. Anything that tends to bring
the nation into subsection to foreign
powers, tends to bring, your invest
ments to position of danger.
Every shrewd investor-every wise
property owner-every sane working
man-knows that the safety of all
persons and of all property in the
United States rests on the safety of
the United States as q sovereign pow.
er. If the United States is lost, ev-
cry dollar of our invested capital is
deprecated or entirely wiped out.
We are engaged at the present time
in a desperate war. The issue is our
right to remain "free and independ-
ent." If the military tyrant of Eu-
rope beats us we must be his vassals
and his slaves. To whip him and re-
tain our liberty and to insure our in
dependence. we must win complete
victory over Germany. If we fail our
mortgages and flats are worthless
The moral is: Invest In Liberty
Bonds and Win the War!

NEGROES PROVE THEIR FIGHT
ING QUALITIES, REPULSING
HUN RAID,

By Frank j. Taylor, United Press Staff
Correspondent.
With the American Army in France,
July American Negro troops proved
their. value as fighters in the line east
of Verdun on June -, it is now permits
sible to state. The Germans attempted
raid in that sector, but were com
pletcly repulsed by tho Negroes.
The Boches began terrific bonn
bardment at one minute after midnight,
throwing over between 5000 and 1000
shells from guns ranging in size from
67 to $40 millimeters. The lombard
ment was concentrated on small areas.
Many of the shells made holes from 10
to Is feet across
Enemy Losses Heavy.
In the midst of this inferno the Ne
groes coolly stuck to their posts, oper-
ating machine guns and utomatic RI
fes, and keeping up such a steady bar
rage that the. German infantry failed to
penetrate the American lines.
The Americans miraculously sus-
tanned only one wounded.
Dixie luck was a-workin with us, -
explained one. ''We all got knocked
down lots of times, but every man got
right up. =
During the attack crew of a ma
chine gun was bowled over by big
shell, which made 15-foot hole near
them. They all got up, remounted the
gun and continued shooting until it
jammcd. Then, despite the terrible
bombardment, they fixed it and again
turned it on the Germans. This Incl
dent was repeated twice.
Landed by Officers.
Both French and American officers
reported that the Negroes performed
like veterans. They obeyed orders
promptly, took risky duties voluntarily
and compared well with the best troops
on the west front.
