they fight to establish the supreme
principle that mankind shall be free
and tn t liberty and justice shall be
triumphant throughout the world.
If Autocracy should win in this
titanic struggle for human rights, all
our accomplishment of the past
would be swept away and tyranny and
oppression would be rampant through
out the world Should that come true,
no class would suffer as much as the
men and women of labor, and it will
come true If we fail to support our
Government In the present crisis.
A government can be no stronger
than the people living under it make
1t, and If we fail to respond to our
Governments appeal for help our war
policy must collapse and our country
men "oyer there" must fail, and in
that event it is inevitable that the
forces Of autocracy shall be triumph
ant over the forces of democracy
Thus it is that every working man and
working woman in America should
buy Liberty Bonds.
Money invested in Liberty Bonds is
as safe as our Government itself. The
illinois district of the United Mine
Workers of America has purchased
100000 worth of the first, second and
third issues of bonds out of district
funds and we propose to buy 100000
worth of the fourth issue Our various
local unions have made purchases ag-
gregating millions and l am certain
they will buy beautifully of the fourth
issue. The rate of interest paid on
such investment is fair. However, the
paramount reason why we should buy
Liberty Bonds is because the fate Of
The world is in the balance, the free
dom and happiness of humanity is at,
stake, and the sale of Liberty Bonds
ls one of the mediums through which
our Government must raise the money

A coIored Mans ExampIe.

1t was a wise and patriotic old col.
ored American who refused to sell his
800 Liberty Bond for $96. because he
would not give up the United States
promise (his bond) to pay him 800
with interest for the United States
promise Currency to pay him ss6.
and who refused to sell the same bond
for $1O2, because, he said, that the
$1O2 must be counterfeit or else the
would-be purchaser would not be will
ling to give it for only 500. 1t is safe
to ssy that there are no gold bricks or.
wildcat securities among that Ameri-

Buy Liberty Bonds to the Limit, Is
Plea Of President Harrington,
Of Miners Union
By FRANK HARRINGTON.

Every working man and working
woman in America should buy Liberty
Bonds to the limit of their ability to
do so. They should buy until it hurts,
and after it begins to hurt they should
keep on buying until their purchase
becomes personal sacrifice for the
reason that upon the outcome of the
war raging depends the future fate of
the workers of America.
Forced to enter conflict that could
no longer be avoided with safety to
the liberties of the people of America
and the democracies of the world, our
country is now involved in the most
appalling tragedy that has overtaken
mankind since the beginning Of time.
The issue involved is:
Shall Democracy or Autocracy rule
the world? Shall the peoples of DEM
ocracies, where democracies obtain,

GAS0L|NELEss DAY
SAVINGS FEED WHOLE
ARMY FOR 40 HOURS
Sunday Abstinence of Autoists Means
100000 Hand Grenades
for Pcrshing.

When the American people locked
up their automobiles for gasless Sun
day on Sept. they saved enough
money to provide Gen. Pershing's
army with 5000 machine guns casting
$3.50 each
!. They saved enough money to buy
food for the American Expeditionary
Forces in Europe for two whole days.
They saved enough money to pro-
vide Gen. Pershings army with $780,
OOC hand grenades.
They saved enough money to pay
for 35.784 completely equipped rifles
OF the type the American infantryman
carries when he goes into conflict.
A Big Saving.
These figures were revealed in
Treasury statement, issued recently,
appealing to the American public to
turn it's savings from abstinence into
War Savings Stamps or set them aside
for investment in Liberty Bonds. The
Treasury statement reminded the pub
lie that these savings which are being
effected are of no value to the govern
ment in its prosecution Of the war
unless they are made available for
its use.
The Fuel Administration reported
that the saving of gasoline on the sec
ond gasless Sunday amounted to
100000 gallons, which, valued at 25
cents gallon, meant a saving to
American pocketbooks of $1,250,O00
In transportation alone this meant
saving of 625 tank cars for an average
haul of 200 miles.
The rubber saved by giving tires a
days rest would be sufficient to equip
$500 motor trucks for the American
army with tires capable OF running
5000 miles.

SURVIVED ORDEAL AT sEA.

When the United States steam
ship Lake Moor was torpedoed off
the English coast Lieut.. Frank K.
Pulaski, U. SseN. R. f., was thrown
into the sea by the explosion. He
was drawn under by the suction, but
on coming to the surface grasped a
raft and clambered aboard, where
there we're already eight others, in
Guiding the skipper. Floating about
in the open sea the men could still
observe the outlines Of the German
submarine which had fred the tor
pedo. After drifting for several
hours two of the men died. Their
bodies were consigned to the sea. The
men were finally rescued by a Nor
wegian merchant ship and taken to
Scotland. Lieutenant Pulaski, who
was one of the men saved after this
ordeal, had been on duty on the Lake
Moor since her launching at Duluth
in December. His home is In Chi
cago.

pensive in the large cities). "She
applied to herself the title Of Sho-
jim, master Of the house, accepting
my existence as that Of a mere sub
ordinate unessential. O. Matsu San
used to find eggs expensive at 18
cents dozen, and the extravaganza
of paying IS cents pound for por-
terhouse steak caused her to shed
salt tears. She would bargain with
the faherwomen until she got de-
lioious oysters at 8 cents quart
For roasting chickens she never paid
more than 50 cents apiece. For max.
ing vegetable soup she used to rent
