been going together for about n year.
and you never saw such an infatuation
as that girl had. She told me. There
no one on this earth could keep me from
Happy and added that she'd kill herself
before she'd be separated from him.
The Endners didn't want them to get
married because they were 70 young.
and I guess they told Happy not to come
TO the house any more. because for about
a month Bessie used to come over here
and meet him all the time My wife
wrote Bessie's mother letter and said
she was willing TO have Bessie come
here only she must be sure her mother
approved.
Bessie had plenty Of money and she
used to give in 10 our boy. but told
her she ought not TO, because II would
take away his ambition and he wouldn't
want 10 work. He's earned as much as
IS day since he's been out of the navy
and everybody likes him. II any money
has been stolen don't believe Happy

Bessie's sister Anna told Happys
grandmother last night that the Endner
family didn't propose to accept the boy

They're too young" said Anna, &C

II must ask what have we sacrificed
In comparison with those people? We
should remember that for three fateful
years they fought our battles before we
finally fought with them (applause), and
when we como to the matter of paying our
war commitments we shpuld not approach
II altogether In a coldblooded business
way. We should meet the obligations OF
our Government with thanks to God that
we have escaped with so little sacrifice.

longer appeal to the patriotism of the
American people. I say that Is not
true.
'In the next Liberty Loan we shall
see an exhibition Of higher patriotism
than ever before. Your honor, our
honor Is involved. do not need to tell

Before going to the luncheon Secretary

workers OF New York and New Jersey

feature OF tho Treasury Department. He
continued:
Before going into q great meeting In
PittsburS n week ago I listened pretty
intently to some insistent talk about ap-
preaching this next Liberty Loan on n
purely investment basis and in Geld
blood. When I drew the contrast be-
tween sacrifices which other people had
made for us and ire sacrifice we talk
about over here, met response tina,

in the right way.

The druggist. Balschieser, is 30 years
old. Two coke" fiends not over IS en-
tered the store just before midnight.
They asked for some liniment. and the
physician started for the back of the

Balschieser fell bleeding to the floor
and was found lying behind a counter
by Patrolman Pope of the Liberty Ave-
nue. station. who was making his rounds
early yesterday. The thieves had riied
the cash register and taken $40.
There is some doubt about tho re-
ported holdup of the Green Hood saloon.
II was not reported until twelve hours
after the robbery occurred. and there are
several peculiar circumstances connected
with II. The proprietor. Frank PETROL
rae, told the police at 1880 o'clock yes
terday morning that at $3.50 the pre-
vious evening two boys entered the place
and asked him II he had any money in
the cash register. He was alone in the
place and they went around the bar and
pocketed s125.
Then they entered n waiting taxi and
disappeared. Only meagre description
of the cuprits was obtained. Petrozzae
says he failed to call the police imme-
diately as he had no nickel to tele-
phone.
