Before the war some 5000 persons

but now they are getting rid Of their

There are several reasons why
these land barons are shedding their
titles. First. the recent elections
added to their fears of confiscation
by the state or compulsory purchase
of land for resettlement of soldiers
Secondly. by selling now the landlords
are able to cash in al high prices.
Third. increased taxation has made

for divorces from their husbands.

These suits bear out the recent
statement made by District Judge
Day. after the study of thousands
of divorce cases, that there are three
periods OF married life which are
danger periods" when the great
majority OF divorces are sought.
They are the first three years of
married life, the 18th to the 18th
years, and the 18th to the 30th years.

The money to be raised by the Victory
Loan will be used for the following purposes
which enumerate only some Of the things to
be paid for:
It will be used in bringing home our boys,
those that are hale and hearty and those that
are still in the hospitals Of France.
It will 60 toward re-educating the American
soldiers that were manned or crippled to such
extent that they cannot return to their former
occupations and make livelihood
It will be used in paying for war munitions
and equipment, including shells that have been
shot and millions of them that were in France
ready to be launched at the Hun at the time he
quit; for guns, tanks, railway trains and steam
ships; some of which were used, but many
others that were on the way and that would
have been used had not the German hordes had
enough of the Yanks at Chateau Thierry at
Belleau Wood, and in the Argonne, to convince
them what America meant.
It WILL in short, pay off the bills our nation
incurred in carrying on the war.
No matter if the munitions were not all con-
sumed; they must be paid for.
No matter if some Of our ships have not yet
spanned the seas; they will continue our COM
merce and build up our peace time prosperity,
and they must be paid for.
No matter if Germany is made to pay France
and Belgium for large part Of the devasta-
ton which that mad autocracy wrought we
will still have our own debts to pay.
What if our American-made cannon and
motor trucks and tanks and rolling kitchens
and airplanes had not all been engaged in the
fray? They were in readiness and would have
gone into the lines this spring and helped win
delayed victory, which, though it may have
been a certain victory would have been costly
one.
Our debts must be paid
And what if these boys we must bring
home, whole-bodied or maimtll, were not your
brothers or sons? They are our boys and they
were the heroes of the world in putting sud-
den end to the wholesale slaughter Of men.
They must be brought home
Will we allow the world to point finger of
scorn at America with the accusation that we
cared for victory only as long as we were in i'm
minent danger, and when that danger was over
settled ungratefully down to greed and gain
and refused to pay our honest debts?
Will we laugh at the unfortunate wounded
rather than help them fit themselves for what
is left for them in life?
The answer must be made by every Ameri-
can according to his ability to lend for cause
that was his in 1917 and that will remain his
cause until America has finished the job.

Big Peril inJapanese
Commerce Bid With
Unrestricted Labor

Melbourne, April--How Japan by
an intense and unrestricted appli-
cation to industry and commerce
has come to dominate the east, po-
litically and commercially. was told
by the Rev. c. M. Bazeley, general
secretary of the Church missionary
society, upon his return from a six
months visit to Japan, India and
China.
: The Rev. Mr.. Bazeley said that
due to the great increase in the
number of factories in Japan that
country is manufacturing every
commodity that the world wants,
and is successfully selling its prod
ucts by means of a large number Of
: Japanese agents, who are to be found
in every city in the east.
/ This development, in the opinion
! of Mr.. Bazeley, is causing great
concern among those who under
stand the political significance Of
such wide commercial ramification.
1t is even with greater alarm that
Japanese penetration into India and
China is viewed. In the first named
country Japanese goods are begin
ming to dominate the markets, while
in the latter they have held first
position for some time.
In manufacturing circles in Nip
pom Mr.. Bazeley found that the key
note of endeavor was unrestricted
production. Full steam ahead, with
no thought for the laborer, seems
to actuate capital, he said. He mar
yelled at the point of view that saw
no danger in unrestricted hours of
labor; that made overwhelming de-
mands on the workers energy, and
at the lack Of factory legislation that
cut production costs to a minimum.
