st. Johnsbury is "over the top" in
the Victory Liberty Loan. In case
there is any doubt as to what this
means-St. Johnsbury's quota is a
trife over $407, 100000. The exact
figures of the subscriptions to date
are not available for two reasons.
The subscriptions were coming in so
fast at noon today that it was impos-
sible to tabulate them accurately. An
other reason is that any figures which
are given out as st. Johnsbury's sub
scriptions up to noon would be
changed by one o'clock. The cam
paign is still going on.
In the event of over-subscript;cn
for this loan throughout the country,
which is practically assured, subscrib-
ers for amounts of $10,000.00 or over
will receive only a portion of their
subscription. All subscriptions of
under $10,000.00 will probably be
filled complete and it is certain that
all subscribers for amounts of S1,000,-
90 or under will receive their bonds
in full.

craftsmanship of Mrs. w. H. Young,
are still continuing their hcrse-to.

last night had obtained subscriptions
of $16,850. 00-!This s-fol:-the first
day, Monday. 1t is expected Shat this
canvass will continue through today
and Wednesday. Subscriptions cam,
in all day Monday unsolicited in addi-
ton to those obtained by the canva,:-
sers.
Ernest Morrill,, who has charge of
the canvass at st. Johnsbury Centre
reported subscriptions of $10,950.0O.
C. H. Morse of Chicago, native o.
st. Johnsbury Center, subscribed
$2500 of this amount. Mr.. Morse also
subscribed another $2500.O0 for st.
Johnsbury proper.
Good reports continue to come in
from the surrounding towns. Kirby,
with a quota of $3,00000 reported
Monday night $3,050.0O of which tile
Woman's Committee raised $1200.J0.
1t is evident that this is the most
popular of all the loans that have
been fioated by the government. AL
most everybody seems to wish to
have a part in celebrating this VIC
tory and take this very pleasant and
practical way to show their patriot
ism. Those who have not already
should do so at ono :
While it is evident that the Victory
Liberty Loan will be considerably
over-subscribed, it will be very graft
flying to the government and in fact
to all the allied governments if the
United States makes this the largest
over-subscription with the largest
number of subscribers of any of the
great bond campaigns.

There has been little tendency to

refused to pass further resolutions

upon which the last of the Vermont
boys, who were III the 26th Division,
are also planning to go to Camp

more interesting than the parade on
Friday because it will not have the
sameness that will appear in the pa
rade but there will be formations
which will show the ability of the
men. If the New Jersey should come
in to dock Tuesday afternoon then
probably the Vermont delegation will
be divided so that some of it will be
on hand at each place.
The delegations from the different
cities in the state from which the Ver-

BERLIN, Saturday Associated)--
April 22-Cabinet devoted less than
half an hour to the formation of its
answer to the entente invitation to
the Versailles Conference to receive
peace terms draft. A feeling of gloom
prevails in official circles and there
are no illusions as to obtaining any
situation indicating that peace is
awaiting Germany. Germany ennis
saries will merely have instructions
to carry peace document back to
Berlin. The question whether the
present government will assume the
responsibility of accepting or reject
ing terms or whether it will present
them for national referendum are
matters of conjecture. Official opin-
ion is opposed to referendum and in
favor of peremptory declination of
peace terms based on any other prop
.osition than Wilson's platform.

Despite the Easter calm, which

Limerick and Dublin are Scenes oi

LIMERICK, Ireland, April 22-
"All Ireland is to go on strike" was
the ultimatum delivered by John
I Cronin, head of the strike committee
at meeting of the citizens of Linn
erick called by Mayor Adolphus
Omara.
The Labor Paliament of Dublin will
be shifted to Limerick today.
"The National Executive Council
will be ready to back us against the
military" said Mr. Cronin. at will
back US to the extent of calling out
every worker in Ireland. We hear
that the army will, make an effort to
break the strike. There are 250,000
organized workers in Ireland"
English commentators assert that
the Sim Fein is adopting dangerous
methods of attracting the notice of
the Peace Conference and making
England look ridiculous. They add
that the only real suffererers from
violence will be the people of Ire
land and that these people may be
expected to hold the Sim Fein re-
sponsible.
LONDON, April 22-The Irish
strike situation is going from bad to
worse. Starting as protest against
making Limerick a military area, it
is growing into a general demonstra-
tion in favor of independence, result
ing in complete tieup which is Sc
riously affecting Kingstown and
Dublin.
The strike committee is issuing
permits for worl1men to fulfill the
contracts in exceptional cases, but
ordinary labor is barred.
Only three newspapers have been
published since Friday in Limerick,

caption "By permission of the strike
committee"

over all Ireland, backing up the de-
mand of Limerick and forcing the

ISN'T 1T TIME TO WAKE UP?

Wa has brought its aftermath to the manufacturing
cities OF the Calumet region. An amazing wave OF i'm
morality has been sweeping these cities for some time.
1t is time that people were beginning TO give a lit
tie more time and attention to the moral welfare o. their
girls and boys and less to the League Of Nations and
other problems.
Honestly. We do not know what some parents are
thinking OF. If all the cases Of contributory delinquency
six months we're assembled they would cover page after
rage of newspaper print.
Something ought to be done by somebody else pc
sides the newspapers. The pulpits and the civic vel
ARE bodies are silent and night after night police are
arresting men OF mature years and young girls whose
shocking talss make even the authorities sick at heart
% think OF the criminal neglect shown.
It is deplorable situation and in most cases has been
brought about by the employment OF girls through the
lack OF men called IN army service. They have taken a
great many liberties not accorded to them in peace
times, and as often as been detailed IN these columns.
the presence of young girls on the streets and in ice
cream parlors al night. shows that their parents and
guardians are extremely remiss in not knowing where
hey are and what they are doing.
II IS high time that this moral responsibility OF the
community De taken up by churches, church bodies, civic
declarations temperance societies, parents clubs. WON.
ems clubs and other social organizations. II is too much
% expect the newspapers to play lone hands and stand
between conscienceless and immoral men and their
younE victims of both sexes.
People err in thinking that newspapers are hungry
for news OF this kind. II they only knew how sickening
it Is to be called upon TO chronicle these cases Of moral
delinquencses in which boys and girls OF tender years
are principals, they would be astonshed.
What are the social organizations OF the Calumet
legion and the churches going to do about it? isn't it
time that some powerful voices were hurled broadcast
rom the pulpit to awaken the cities to their sense of
shame.
Is war to have naught but d debasing influence? Is
it to have no moral or spiritual awakening? How are
they educating their boys and. girls? Must the com
munty DO everything else for them except food and
clothing7

FOOD PRICES.

It IS gratifying to people in the United States TO
know the prices Of ~foodstuTs are declining. It would
be much more SO if prices we're to return more speedily
10 something like their former Level. What is difficult
FOR the average householder TO understand is that. with
me warehouses ehoked with all kinds Of food, in the
large centers of tae county, the present fictitious values
should continue. particularly since hostilities have been
suspended and the war can no longer be given as 2 legiti
mate excuse for keeping prices up.
William NJ. Calder. United States Senator from New
York, is quoted as saying that the first essential toward
a generous. general return TO fair food prices is that the
government shall end price fixing and food control. In
that even the Senator insists that what is known as the
law of supply and demand will be allowed to take its
course, and that prices will regulate themselves. The
restrictions have been lifted in various other respects
and it has never been fully explained why the govern
ment has not been able 70 satisfy ifs obligations to food
producers in such a way as to make possible an i'm
mediate return to normal conditions of living. One of
The apparent hindrances to the return Of lower prices
for important articles of food is the amount of the obliga.
lions involved in the governments guarantee Of a fixed
price Of 4the wheat crop of 1919. 1t is estimated by
some that the price will be about 81 a bushel above parity
Of the world wheat market. II this estimate is anywhe1~
near correct the amount to be made up by the United
States government will run between $1,000. n00D00 and
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1919-02-17

S1,260,oo0ooo, depending upon the amount Of the crop
The United States treasury has no such amount avail
able to meet a guarantee OF that kind. but the funds
must evidently be provided in some way. The sooner this
matter is adjusted the better.
The Chicago Board OF Trade. IN a recent petition to
the United States Attorney-General, asked the very per
tinent question Why should -four sell at $12 a barrel
with more wheat and -four in the United States than
ever before? Under the law of supply and demand the
price would not be more than SIS a barrel Similar
questions concerning the prices OF other foodstuhs have
been asked but never satisfactorily answered. 1t is al
together desirable and right that the government should
fulfill its contracts to the letter. The long-sufering
public would. however, like 10 see an immediate scaling
down in the cost or living. The item Of food is the most
burdensome of all. and the price of food has receded less
than that OF any other important commodity, There IS
no desire on the part OF the people to see such sudden
reductions as would unsettle business and cause IN
necessary losses, but it seems that IT would be altoseth-
er just and proper for the government TO pocket ita
losses, at least SO far as its ~food-prlce obligations arc
concerned. and TO do so quickly.

These phases date back 10 centuries
before Christ.
In my opinion every Greek has =
sacred duty and an extreme rosponsl
bility not only towards his own cour
tTymen and ancestors but also towards
humanity and mankind to stand up and
defend by every legitimate means the
undeniable rights Of his country and
countrymen.

gospel OF liberty" that transformed the
Allied armies to heroes who crushed

The desire of the entire Greek race
is the liberation of it's sons from a bar

key), and the annexation to the Gree.
nation of the following territories

THE Nv" LOAN IS NECESSARY.

There seems to be a current impression that the hex,
Liberty loan IS unnecessary Many people have the idea
that the SIS, %00.0o0.00O recently voted back to the treas
ury by Congress IS SO much cash paid in. Such is not
the case. What took place was the cancellation OF =
thorized expenditures TO that amount in the future. How
ever much money We do have to raise for winding up
the war. it will be $4,000 100000 less for this year than
was expected before last Nov. II. This reduction was
anticipated by the treasury department soon after the
armistice and allowed for in the forecast o. coming ex
penditures.
There are stin war bills to be paid. And more VIII
be incurred even though the fighting is ended. Our
army Of occupation remains to be fed and clothed and
paid. We must also share with our allies the expense
OF assuring the peace that should follow victory.
The fifth loan, therefore. is quite important. No
body should feel that simply because the armistice was
signed all need for lending money to the government Is
past. Gratitude and thankfulness for the victory that
has been won and confidence in the peace that is be
ing established by hearty support Of the coming Victory
loan.
The loan is the surest thing on earth. no matter how
you personally feel about it.
