Os what avail was it that the Revolutionary pa- ;« triots created America, and the Civil War patriots unified America, if patriots of today do not conserve America? *1 This war is as sacred as either of the other great America wars, 4 and every man and every dollar within the bounds cf our sou try must help to win the fight.

This is a war against war, and pacifists themselves, if they were u wise, would see in American victory the only hope of the triumph of H their cause. ’ This war is to purchase permanent peace and it must not end till 3 the spirit of militaristic aggression perishes from the earth. H It will require the exertion of all our people's gigantic might to q see this conflict through, and any American who, for any reason whatsoever, is cold or backward in this war is unworthy of his sa- H cred inheritance.

NEWPORT YARDS Open Again. Giving Opportunity to Many Young Men Who Will Enlist. MANY CH.LNCES THERE Radio School, an Aviation School, Many Other Lines of Occupation. The Naval Reserve Force of the Second Naval District at Newport. It 1., is once more open this time for 2000 recruits. This announcement will mean much to hundreds of young men whom circumstances or hesitation have hitherto prevented from signing up for military duty. The Naval Reserve has rightly b. -n one of the most popular branches in the war. The officers' training camps, aviation, and the reserve have proved to lie the three most promptly filled services. The advantage of the first was the oportunity for a commission, of the second the chance for daring and individual work, and of the reserves a combination of practieaily the best features of Ixith. Many men in the reserve who l ave shown themselves to be possessed of the necessary qualifications for otfi- er ship have studied for the regular examinations. passed and received commissions as ensigns and warrant officers. Perhaps the greatest allurment that the reserve force has for young men lies in the fact of its varied kinds of service. A radio school in the district is ready to prepare men for positions as wireless telegraphers in our navy. Other men have successfully applied for a transfer to the naval reserve flying corps. Every week examinations are held for those who desire to improve their ratings. These ratings cover practical ly every field, and a man with any boat. shop, mechanical, carpenter, <i nautical experience can. in all likelihood. qualify. Applications are accepted only for general service, and if they enlist and remain in the seaman branches they are likely to have an opportunity to see service in one of the 110 footers, those small, fast boats that doing duty 'n both these anUUufeign waters, cr transports, or the convoy vessel- of cur navy. The central enrolling office is located in the War College in Newnor. 11. I Letters of inquiry in regard to the Naval Reserve should lie addresse 1 to the Enrolling Officer. War College.

Newport. R. 1., and the same will be promptly answered and the informatic n forwarded. Applications for service in the Second District may be also made at the Reserve Enrolling Office, Building I '-, Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the Navy Recruiting Stations in Newark. New Jersey. Pittsburg. Fa., in Minneapclis. Minnesota, and in St. Louis, Missouri, and further information regarding tne service may be had from any regular Navy Recruiting Station. To Newport, men have cogie from many states. The high reputation of Lhe district, the large number of >l- ( I lege men enlisted in it. the wide diver-’ ' sity of oi portunity offered, the zest 'and attractiveness of small boat service have combined tc make the station a powerful magnet. I It is expected that the 2000 men r- - - quired will seize this chance in a very •short time. Unless men hurry to on-’ 'roll, now they will doubtless find that 'once more the doo>-s of one of Uncle , Sain's most appealing services have I been irrevocably closed.

NOT BY HALVES An American Soldier Does Things Whole and Believes in Giving Mite. THE LIBERTY LOAN I Subscriptions Made by Soldiers an Example—Ninety Million SubscribedWashington, D. C., Dec. 4—The American soldier does not believe in doing things by halves. He uses the full unit in giving expression to his practical patriotism. He not only stands willing to support the flag in its grorious onward march to world liberty and freedom, laying down his life if necessary, but he stands willing to aid the government by lending liberally of his money. What he did in connection with the second liberty loan should serve as an inspiration io the entire nation. Subscriptions to lhe second Liberty Loan from the military establishment of the United States reached the gi gantic total of 189,803,300. The American army had a per capita subs, . iption of $76.86. representing an average subscription of $113.25 and nearly 70 per cent of the army subscribed. The American expeditionary forcein France subscribed $5,661,850. Troops in Hawaii rolled up $1,269,150; those in Panama $1,113,600 and those in the Philippines and China $358.55»'. The thirty-one cantonment camps in the nation subscribed for $43,030,500 of the war bonds. The sixteen national army camps subscribed for $23,740,900. the fifteen national guard camps taking $19,339,600 of the securities. Twenty-five cf the thirty-one cantonment camps went over the 31.000.000 mark and eleven of them subscribed individually for more than JI.500.000. The national army camps had a per capita subscription of $58.36. Camp Meade at Admiral, Maryland. led the national army with a per capita subscription of $89.36. Camp Cody at Deming. New Mexico. led the national guard with a per capita subscription of $96.56. The Northern Pacific Coast Artillery district, with headquarters at Sr-attle. Washington, reported a t tai subscription of $454,650 from 4 06“ subscriptions of a total strength cf 4.718 men. In the latter part of the bond campaign, officers and enlisted men were detailed wherever i racticable, to ocperaie with local Liberty Loan organizations. A typical sample of the results was shown in the telegra; hie report from Camp Lee. the national army cantonment at Petersburg. Virginia, to the effect that through the efforts of officers and enlisted men of that camp, bond subscriptions amounting to $14,532,450 were obtained from persons residing cutside of Camp 1 eo. This amazing shc—'ng by the man in awns should bring home with compelling force a lesson in practical patriotism to all persons who are not called to the army. The next Liberty Loan will determine the extent t which this lesson carries. n HERE u • reuieoy that will cure meet all >kin an( acalp trouble*. Eczema, Barberi Itch, Itch, Cub and Sorea.'
