 London, Jan. 18.-Reported rioting and strikes in Vienna and other Aus trian cities, it is asserted, are due to the prolongation of the peace negotia- tions at BrestLitovsk, the continual tion of the reduced bread rations- one-half the former allotment-and police measures against meetings of the workers.

WE HATED THE LIARS

When as wee youngsters in school
together, we hated the liars and the
telltales. Once we found them out,
we never really trusted them again.
And it is the same way in our older
years-we never really trust those
we have found lying and telling tales.
In a world way, the Germans have
proved themselves the most consist
ent and Ge%spicable liars of all times.
That is why we do not trust them
why we must win the war through to
a finish. And that is why we do not
dare accept, at face value, any rumor
or talk that in anyway has to do with
the Germans. Truth comes from them
only by accident.
Now that they are encountering de-
feat ON every side, the Germans may
very likely rebouble their efforts to
save some of the wreckage by adroit
lying-so keep your eyes open and
demand proof of every story you hear.

THE PEACE OUR SOLDIERS
WANT-THE PEACE OUR
WAR MOTHERS WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the ofticlal
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expeditlonary Forces
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement: the the sidellners VINO
who have had enough of war; let the
secretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without a
decision-let them, n and all know
once and for all that for the American
Expeditionary Force there is no such
word as Peace with the Huns unbeat-
en-. The mai who talks of peace to-
day, except through victory, is a trait
or"
The enemy peace offensive is liken-
ed to the action of German machine
gun crews in the Vesle fighting, when
they fought and killed Americans un-
til they were surrounded, then shout
ed "Kamerad."
The mothers of the American SOL
dierS in France want the same peace
their SONS demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the Fourth Liberty
Loan is to bring that peace-a just
peace, a righteous peace, an Ameri-
al peace.

SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVING

Save for your country's sake, be-
cause it is now spending millions a
day and must find most of the money
out of savings.
Save for your W sake, because
work and wages are plentiful, and,
as prices are high now, a dollar will
buy more after the war;
Save, because when you spend you
make other people work for you, and
the work of everyone is needed now
to win the war.
Save, because by saving you make
things cheaper for everyone, especi-
ally for those who are poorer than
you.
Save, because by going without you
relieve the strain on ships, docks, and
railways, and make transportation
cheaper and quicker.
Save, because by saving you set an
example that makes it easier for the
next man to save. A saving nation
is an earning nation.
Save, because every time you save
YOU help twice, first when you don't
spend and again when you lend to the
the nation.-The Commonwealth.

WHAT Is THE LIBERTY LOAN?

It's forts and it's ships and it's shin

It's %squadrons that sweep the sea.
It's all of the circling band of steel

Far out on the wintry foam.
For the brave jack tar, as he fights
afar.

WHAT is THE LIBERTY LoAN7
It's rifle and helm and it's bayonet,
It's shovel and shard and shell
For the soldier boy in the olive drab,
Out there on the edge of hell.
It's the soaring wings of the whirring
planes
That battle on high alone.
For the lad who is daring "Oyer
there
It's the good old Money from home"
WHAT is THE LIBERTY LOAN?
It's succor and life for a bleeding
world.
It's the glimmer of Peace at dawn.
It's the strength of a mighty arm to
strike.
It's the CLEAN of a great sword,
drawn.
But, more than all, it's the pledge of
love
To the lads whom we call Our own"
It's the good old Money from home"
