PEACE LIBERTY LOAN COMING

The Treasury Department has
made public the following: Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo has announ-
ced that, no matter what the results
of the pending overtures for peace
may be, there will be another Liberty
loan. To use this expression, I'VE
are going to have to finance peace for
while just as we had to finance
war" There are over 100000
United States soldiers abroad. If we
transport these men back to the
United States at the rate OF 800, 900 a
month, 1t will be over half year
before they are all returned. Our
Army, therefore, must be maintain-
ed, victualed, and clothed for many
months after peace is an actuality.
The American people. therefore, hav-
ing supported the Liberty loan with
patriotism that future historians
will love to extol, will have an op-
portunity to show the same patriot
ism in financing the just and conclu-
slVe VICTORIOUS peace whenever IL
comes. Not for a moment, however,
is the Treasury acting on any as
sumption that peace is to come soon.
Until peace is actually assured the
attitude of the Treasury and the at
titude of the whole United States
Governmen is for the most vigorous
prosecution of the war, and the mot
to of force against Germany without
stint or limit will be acted up 10 un-
til peace is an absolute accomplish
ed fact. One more Liberty loan, at
least, is certain. The Fourth Loan
was popularly called the fighting
loan;" the next loan may be fight
inn loan. too, or it may be peace
loan. Whatever the conditions. the
loan must be prepared for and its
success rendered certain and abso-
lutte. Begin now to prepare to sup
port it.

Government Clerks Salaries
By EARL GOODWIN.
ne Get $40 Year Bonuses While Others Get Nous5

Congress had not been niggardy with the temporary
wartime bonuses for Government clerks there would not
now be any doubt as to what employees should receive them
and what employees should not.
Every Government employee in Washington should "a

There's Only One Answer For
These Milkmen-That Is NO
They Have the Erontery to Ask to Have the Traffic in
Dirty Milk Legalized

Certain milk companies of this city to ask the Dis
tiC Commissioners tomorrow for the right to bring milk
into the District from unnspeCted diaries.
This Is almost unbelievable ehrontery.
Il would be entirely beyond belief it not for the
known fact that relying undecided techncat OF the
law dealers have been bringing unnspected milk into
the city for long time.
Now that the courts have untangled the law the
who count private profit above public health want to have
the traffic in dirty milk legahzed
There be but answer to this preposterous re-
quest and that is NO.
DIRTY MILK MEANS DEAD BABIES.
To legalze bad milk would be to legahze the wanton
killing Of infants.
The claim of the milk men that the supply is short is
not the slightest argument for granting their muderous
quest
The threat of higher prices under present conditions
should have weight.
Mr.. Wilson, the food commissioner, should decide
whether there Is reason for higher milk prices. BUT
WHATEVER THE PRICE LET THERE BE NO LOWER
ING OF THE BARS TO DIRTY MILK.
What would you say the present threatened shortage
Of water in the District to be cured by turning into
the city mains supplementary supply contaminated
with filth and disease? The cases exactly parallel
Nor should the courts deal lenieutly with those who
falling to get their request granted bring in dirty milk in
defiance Of the law.
In a recent instance fine of five dollars was imposed
which was not so much Of punishment invitation
to further breaking Of the law.
There are honest dealers who are bringing in clean
milk and paying clean milk prices
They should be protected against the scavenger milk
men who would pedde typhoid fever and score of other
diseases along with their dirty dairy products.
MAKE THE MILKMEN OBEY THE Law AND
KEEP THE MILK SUPPLY CLEAN
