The clause providing for indemnity
for the destruction of the German
feet at Scapa Flow has been modified
to the question whether the delivery
of the tonnage demanded will cripple
Germany, it is understood.
The Understanding is that other

E; Allies might use military measures Of
coercion to insure the execution of
the treaty.s terms. has been .elimin-

relating to the evacuation of the Bal

The tango is dance Of Mexican
origin, which is supposed to initiate
the actions Of the negroes. 1t has
the same rhythm as the Spanish ha-
banera, but Is played must faster, and
Is worked up faster and faster,
till 1t ends like the dances of the
modern ballet dances. Sometimes 1t
has FIVE notes in the melody to four
In the accompaniment, and vice versa
and Its peculiar harmonic progress
slons give It a weird fascination that
has much to do with Its popularity.

q the Thumb Issue

~ The thumb is not as graceful, uni.
form and regular as the four fingers
but the dependabllity and the indis-
pensability Of the thumb needs no ar
gument or defense. The other fingers
are, more or less, of family like
ness. The thumb has a form and a
function Of its own-and quite related
10 the fingers. One has noticed the
pitiable efforts of man who has lost
his thumb when he tries to do the sim.
plest things like writing or welding
"a hammer Of buttoning his collar. The
thumb stands of to itself-but the
four taperlng fingers, either Of which
might be spared better than the
thumb. call on the odd member of the
group when there is cllnching, grasp.
ing, hitting to be done.
All the four Liberty Loan campaigns
have been more or less alike. The
Fifth stands of to itself, in date ana
in setting and situation altogether.
Though different from the others, this
Fifth is the most important Of all. 1t
is the grasp effort, the clinch drive,
the smashing blow. AS the thumb en-
closes the other fingers Of the first
for the determined drive, so this in
elusive campaign is to be the so.idify-
ing, the perfecting effort of financial
America in its endeavor to put over
the momentum of wonderful resources
in the world-campaign for right and
rights.
The other campaigns were alike in
that the danger of results which
might follow failure spurred to action;
the inspiration Of the hope of good re-
suits which would be sure to come
with the success vltalized the cam
paign; the enthusiasm Of the fevered
period, the bands and the flags-all
that made the first four efforts sue |
cesses. The thumb drive is cold
blooded business proposition 1t means
a loyalty Of patriotism which digs !
down cheerfully and comes up with
the money to pay for what he has al.
ready been obtained and enjoyed In
considerable measure. It is the test
drive; II is the real crux Of the trial
of American fealty; 1t WIN reveal the
Ilne Americans who. having subscribed
their money Tor hope or pledged their
coin from fear, now plank down the
dollars from honest conviction.

biggest and the most American of
hem all.

TAKE RED CROSS
WORK IN HOMES

Red Cross workers at the sewing
rooms are so few it will be impossible
to complete the quota in the allotted
time by that means alone. Therefore
by instruction by Miss Ida Hafford,
superintendent of chapter production
Of Kentucky, everyone who can make
even one garment, is urged to call
and take home work. There are 500
garments to be completed by May ~
Miss Hafford, over long distance
phone today, said that chapters much
smaller than Christian county are
making as many as 1900 garments
On account of the failure of this
chapter to respond to the, calls she
is having number of the garments
which have been sent here sent to
the Frankfort chapter. This does not
look well after the record that has
been made heretofore. We must
rally to the work. It is imperative.
Come and get your work. There
must be an average of so garments
