ALL IN FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Every Man, Woman and Child In the
United States 10 Charged with
q eaered Duty.

A war machine. today. is America.
Travelling the road Of Success, 1t II
bound for Victory.
With the direction Of the machine
we have, most Of Us, little to do. We
pust trust the man at the wheel Of
State to drive forward with speed and
care.
But with the condition Of the ma
chine itself we are implicitly con-
cerned. For Its effective operation We
are every one Of u.s. responsible.
Every American Is, in fact. an essen
tial part Of the mechanism which II
to carry the world forward to new
era of liberty.
But the motor. alas, Ii not yet
stunned up" 1t rattles badly. Loose
and imperfectly assembled, II knocks
and overheats.
Whyi Because 10 many Of US are
still careless and confident, Indifferent
to our duty as citizens. In one week.
for instance, there were reported 6S7
violators of the lighting regulations in
New York. There still are profiteers,
still women who knit colored sweaters
for their own use. still persons who
repeat scandalous rum0rs, lettering
the Cause. TiRhtwads and slackers
still abound. No wonder our war ma
chine is still Intellectual. It needs the
regulation Of a national conscience.
How then shall we tighten up the
screws7 This way: Every citizen
must see to It that his part is well
done. We must stop all leaks-econo-
nnise In light. coal. wheat, beef and
sugar. We must get more mileage.
give up pleasure and profit. knit, work.
inspire others. insist that all obey the
law, and watch out for spies. The
motor must have fuelvsubscribe to
the Liberty loan. Lubricate the ma
chinery with contributions to the Red
Cross!
There IL, in short. only one thing
upon which we must all concentrate
SUGGEST And Success will not come
until every man, woman and child
realizes HIS own vital responsibility In
the prosecution Of this war as q great
crusade for universal democracy.
Are you doing everything in your
power to help win the warfChelptnG
In every way and every dayf Do you
feel that nothing matters except vic

When everyone regards his ohliEa-
lions as deeply as II he were an en-

then. and not TIL then. will the Amer
lean war machine bring us to the
longed.for end-univernal peace

WHAT SCOTLAND is DOING
This Little Country Has Already
chssrfully Done Very Much More
Than Her Share.

We are pretty well acquainted In this
country with the part Canada Is tax
Ing In the war. We have been advipd
from time to time of the individual
sacrifices being made by the people
to the north of US. We know only In
q general way what other people are
doing. So 1t comes as refreshing news
to hear from the lips Of such a man
az Hurry Lauder the heroic work and
sacrifices Of the Scots.
More than 10000 Scotchmen are
under arms. or have given up their
lives In the struggle. And Scotland
10 small country. In the cities and
towns there are no more eligible men
no more men At to bear arms. They
have all departed. Scotland Is land
Of old men and women and little chill
dren-nnd crippled soldiers. 1t Is not
the Scotland Of three years ago. with
husky set Of strapping young fellows
filling the fields and working in the
mines and mills.
Not only that. but the people do not
complain. There are NO riots because
Of the cOnditiOns-no murmurtngs
against their fate. The war is on; the
Scots will fight It out. That il the
spirit one finds In Scotland. among
those old men and women and among
the little children. It Is the spirit one
finds out in the trenches, where the
Scottish soldiers stand on guard and
meet the enemy face to face.
The history Of Scotland Ia toa well
understood to call attention to 1t here.
The record of the Scots, made In the
long ago. still is fresh In the mind Of
every one who knows history. So 1t
isn't necessary to state that the Scots
are born fighters, that they are not
going to give up. They have done In
this war exactly what those familiar
with Scottish history expected them to
do. And they will not fail at any time
10 the future.-Columbus Dispatch.

~str,s,~ Mace Prize Of War,

The British have taken "strnfe." In
N announcement from the Oxford Uni.

known. The captured word has been
included. not to say interned. in the

has been treated after a characteris.

ton "a" has been changed to the long
English "a" as Of "safe." and from
two syllables It is reduced to one. 20

Nor does the process Of eliminating
