WARMINGl NO sLACKINGl

A grave danger threatens the Al
lies in Europe, and it is one upon
which too much emphasis cannot BE-
placed. And il lies right here al
home, throughout these United
States, here in Deming. It is a dan
ger that strikes at the very hear
Of existence, at the throats Of Gun
men at the front. A menace which
is being furthered, fomenied, prop
agated and fostered by our enemies
the Huns. Il is the danger that
Germany has been counting on. The
danger that our people. over-confi-
dent undnly optimistic, will not exerl
every possible effort to over-sub-
scribe the fourth Liberty Loan.
War news through the past week
has shown that We are gaining as.
cendaney over Germany Austria at
every point Of contact. Terrific de-
feafs have been suffered bv the
Teuion hordes. Men have been
slaughtered by the thousand, and I'M

and il is not safe to assume that she

contrary, it is much more reasonable
to suppose that, coming just before

Government has again exercised it,

heretofore, and, by lulling our people

The proper way to do this cele'
brating is by buying more Liberty
Bonds, or Baby Bonds, or Thrift
Stamps. Take for granted that the
German peace offer was made with
the deliberate intent of causing our
people to relax their efforts, and
consequently interfere with immedi-
ate and successful flotation of the
fourth Liberty Loan. Even if you
have already done as much as you
