Be a Fighter and Buy Bonds.

1t is time that we all realize the
country is at war. The railroads
found themselves relieved of the man
agement of their properties over night.
Prices have been set for food and
steel and coal. The draft is in full
operation. 1t is no longer question
of patriotism in supporting the gov
eminent, it is an absolute necessity.
If the soldiers refuse to fight, the
war is lost. If we at home refuse to
buy bonds, the war is lost because the
government will be unable to finance
the operation. The man who refuses
to buy bonds in this great crisis is in
class with the soldier who refuses
ito fight.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO

Everyone Should Give the Boys cover
There" the Financial Support
Needed for Victory.

An article recently published in some
papers Of the central West gave an er-
roneous impression as to the part the
farmer should play in financing the
great struggle for liberty and world
freedom. 1t suggested that the farmer
should not borrow money with which
to buy Liberty bonds-that he should
not Inconvenience himself in lending
financial support at this critical time
in the history of the nation.
This is no time to think of incon-
venience at home. If inconvenience is
to be the basis of thought, let the
American farmer consider first the in
convenience of the boys on the firing
line in France. At this particular time
it is up to all Americans. to make sac
rifices. This is no time to think of COM
Portable financial circumstances and
freedom from inconvenience. The
government is at great deal of in
convenience. If the boys at the blaz-
ing, thunderous front are standing in
muddy trenches lodging shell splinters
and Hun bullets and facing the terrible
gas attacks, there is no reason why
the farmer at home should not extend
himself to help out.
Don't think of inconvenience. Think
Of the inconvenience and danger Of
your son, or your neighbours son, at the
front, and buy Liberty bonds to the
limit. Stretch your financial system
to the breaking point, if need be, to
support your government and the boys
who are actually engaged in the busi-
ness Of fighting your fight. a..stsH

MONEY AS NEEDFUL AS
MEN, SAYS GOVERNOR
Wage Farmers, Business Men, Farmers
and Capitalists Are vitality Inter-
ested in Triumph of Our Arms.
BY FRANK o. LoWDEN,
Governor of IIIinois.1

This is war to establish the right
of people to govern themselves. 1t is,
therefore, a peoples war. But peo-
pie cannot govern itself successfully
unless it is willing to finance war
waged upon it by military autocracy.
Democracy is doomed, unless it has the
vitality to put forth its resources in
support of war, in which it's very
right to exist is challenged.
Our enemy frequently has said that
we, as a nation, care for money alone.
More than million of our young men
have given the lie to this charge by of
fering the supreme sacrifce-the sac
rifce of life itself-that their coun-
try might endure. Shall it now be
said of the other millions-the mill
lions who remain at home-that this
charge is true? VIII not our people at
home, for whose security and future
our soldiers have gone to the colors,
will not they loan their dollars to the
government in the support of a cause
for which these men gladly offer to
give their lives?
Remember, money Is as neeQful as
men, if we are to prevail. Remember
that if we do prevail, these bonds will
be the best investment we shall have
made during the period Of the war. If
we fail, even then they will be worth
more than our cattle and lands, our
factories and stores or any other prop
erty we may own.
Our wage earners. business men and
capitalists are vitality interested in the
triamph of our, arms. Let all SUBJ
scribe in proportion to their means.
The number who shall partake Of this
loan is as important as the total
amount.!subscribed., II our people gen.
orally are united In absorbing our LIB
erty bonds, 1t will prove to the world
that. democracy knows what Its nber-
ties are worth, and is willing to de-
fend them ut any cost. n

COST TO CRUSH THE KAISER
Hoersianer, Financial Expert, Gives
Figures 40 Boost 70 Liberty
Loan.
BY BoERslANER,

Financial Editor, Chicago Examiner
/. Not many years before Abraham
Lincoln became president Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln were fed and sheltered in the
Globe tavern, Springfield, ILL.,, at four
dollars a week. In other terms, they
each paid two dollars week for room
and board at what then was one OF
the best family hotels in the state CAPT.
tai. Incredibly cheap? To us today,
yes, but not to the Americans of the
PO's and COS. The purchasing power
of a dollar in those days was ire
mendOus.
When the Civil war broke out the
wealth of the United States was APP
praised at $17.OOOOOO,OOO Let us be
liberal and make it $4,000 100000 at
the end of that internecine strife, the
total cost of which was $4,O00OOO,00O.
At that time the national debt was ST.
625, 100000. Put in another way, the
country had spent in the Civil war one
fifth of her entire wealth.
What happened? Within eighteen
years the whole of the national debt
was paid off; extinguished by a COM
monwealth with only one-third of the
present population; with little or no
prestige as world power; with all
her railways, half of her city real es-
tate and 60 per cent of her farms mort
gagged to European capitalists; with
bank resources Of only $4,000, O00,O 600
and with not dollars worth of invest
ments abroad.
There are estimates that ere kaiser
ism shall be crushed our national OBJ
| iigation will stand at $20,O00,O 100000.
That would mean about 8 per cent Of
the wealth of the nation (Which is not
less than $3.50. 000. OO0,0O0) or 4 per cent
| less than the percentage in 1865.
America today is the leading power,
the wealthiest country in the world. II
/ is creditor nation. Its railways, real
estate and farms are owned by her
own people and her bank resources to-
tai $40, $3.50 100000.
After this. is it necessary to ask II
a United States government bond is q
safe investment? There is nothing
safer in the world; nothing which
promises SO rapid and so high an ap
1 breciation once the war is ended
These are the cold facts of the propo
4 sition. There is another side: the love

HELPLESS CHINA. A LESSON
ESsry Man, Woman and Child Should
Contribute to Success Of Third
Liberty Loan.

Within the last few months the ter
rible bubonic plague has been sweep
ing over western China. Starting in
Mongolia, it crossed the great wall and,
with appalling speed, invaded province
after province. And China-great,
helpless China-is unable to care for
its unfortunate people. Missionaries
and the Rockefeller institute have been
doing much to alleviate suffering, but
their efforts have been little enough to
stem the tide of the dread disease.
China lacks the organization and the
Initiative to do much more than bow
before the inevitable.
'aThere is a lesson for America at
this time in the conditions in China
said United States army medical of
flcer q few days ago. 1.-THE United
States is at war. Food. guns. clothing
are needed for the soldiers, and ships
are necessary to carry them to the bat
tlefelds in Europe. To conduct this
enormous business of war, money Is
needed billions in money. If the ma
itien does not show initiative and or
'lganization, if every individual and
levery community are not closely knit
ito every other individual and every
bther community and interest by a
common impulse. common purpose to
defeat the enemy, America will fail in
this war as surely as China has failed
In her hopeless battle against the bu-
bonic plague.
Every man, woman and child should
contribute to the limit toward the sue
icess of the thirG Liberty loan. There
must be no sectional feeling, no racial
hatreds, no ancient grudges, no po-
litical ambitions, no community inter-
Tests or individual schemes to stand in
1.-THE way. If this nation of more than
n hundred million souls stands together
las one, the government at Washington
will be provided with the money with
which to finance ourselves and our al
lies in this war against selash and
autocratic power that plots QUIZ politi'
cal and commercial ruin as it plotted
and accomplished the ruin of Belgium
and Serbia and northern France.
"a prominent politician once pro
tested against the 'Chinafying OF the
United States Let the United States
prove to itself and to the common foe
that there is nothing of China's help
Iessness in us. 1t can do so by actins

Rebecca West, an Englishwoman
working for the British government,
writes in the New Republic: "The
woman munition-maker has lifted a
load from the minds of feminists. For
although we talked about the eco
nomic independence Of women and the
injustice Of paying women lower
wages than men for equal work, we
did not really know whether women
were. capable Of equal work. We
hoped that the. inferior position &C.
cupied by women in practically every
part Of the industrial world except
the textile trades could be explained
by their lack of technical training
and by the physical depression caused
by underpayment and the consequent
undertaking, but we could not be
certain. We are quite sure now.
Women are good timekeepers; thes
can endure long hours; they can dc
work that requires delicacy Of eye
and hand; they are careless of dan.
ger; they are in every respect save
that of muscular strength as useful as
men," su

ATTACKS ON HOSPITAL SHIPS.

ATTACKS ON HOSPITAL SHIPS.
Germany has tried to Justify the sub
marine attacks on hospital ships by
charges that they were used for other
purposes, particularly the transport Of
troops and munitions. 1t was q char
acteristic begging Of the question.
The British White Book, dealing with
these charges, offers convincing evil
dence Of their falsity. 1t points out
the obvious fact that If they. had been
true there was an easy way Of prov
ing them. The submarines had only
to stop and search the ships. In only
n case was this attempted, and then
the papers were found to be in order
and the vessel was allowed to pro-
coed. The plain truth Of the matter
is that German methods of warfare,
whether on sea or land, have become
so brutal that all the restrictions i'm
posed by law and humanity have been
deliberately disregarded. Hospital
ships have been sunk and hospitals
behind the lines have been bombed,
and the merciful symbol of the Red
Cross, which all nations have been
taught to respect, has not been the
slightest protection. This is the black
est part of a black record.
