LABOR DAY.
Ttrre Haute today will have the most general celebration of Labor day the city baa ever known. This is as it should be. Tliist Is the liberty celebration of Labor day and labor's great share in the victory that Ms now inevitably coming to Aheriein arms is teertainly justified.
Liberty for the world its based on American labor. These few brief words from President Wilson to the American Federation of Labor convention a
few weeks ago establishes this beyond dispute. He says: "We must supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry" to the other side of the sea, submarines or no submarines, what will'every day be needed there, and abundant materials out of our fields and our mines and our factories, with which not only tii clothe and equip our own forces on land and sea, but also to clothe and support our people, for whom the gallant fellows under arms can no longer •Work, to help clothe and equip the aimies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufactories there in raw material coal to keep the fires going in ships at sea and in the furnaces of factories across the sea steel out of which to make arms and ammunition bdth here and there rails for wornout railways back of the fighting fronts locomotives and rolling stock to take the plane of those every day going to pieces mules, horses, cattle for labor and for military service: everything """with which the people of England and
Prance and Italy and Russia have usually supplied themselves, but can now afford the men. the materials, or the machinery to make,"
So we say labor's dtity is large, but the myriad of miracles American labor has seemed to perform since we engaged in this combat for world liberty is the best assurance that our final triumph is going to be of magnitude and impressiveness.

Liberty Loan is much larger than chose which went before. i,o the demand which patriotism makes, and the opportunity which thrift ""has created, are correspondingly enlarged.
The investment aspect, must appeal. Liberty Bonds are the best of invest ments. The citizen who buys them demonstrates his business acumen, and gives evidence that he possesses not only the will but the ability to save. Yet this is but the sign of ordinary shrewdness. The buyer of Liberty Bonds is telling other things about himself.
He is making plan just how he Stands as a man among men. He is proving to (he world that hopes to see the World safe for democracy, and that he desires to play his honorable part in the great work. Tie is denying that he condones the rape of Serbia, of Belgium and of Poland, and that lie can excuse on any ground the tnurdcr of women and children on the high seas, tht enslavement of civilians, a.nd the bombing of hospitals.
The purchaser of Liberty bonds proclaims his faith in the justice of the cans© for which the nation fights. He declares his belief in the doctrine that small rations have the same rights as their more powerful neighbors, and that no people has the right, to hold In subject, an alien and unhappy race.
He offers the best proof save that of bloody sacrifice that he knows might is not right—and such a knowledge is an essential to victory, i Over-subscription of' the Fourth Liberty Loan "Will mean more to Germany ahan a dozen defeats. It will go far toward persuading the German people of the hopelessness of their cause. It is a confession of faith on America's part that cannot but carry conviction to our enemies.
The Fourth Liberty Loan must be over-subscribed if only for its moral effect upon the Hun. The time to la plans for doing your Individual part toward that over-subscription is now.
We expect to hear that Von FTintze has been granted a vacation on account of illness. He has gone and admitted that "the cpcalted cause is in great danger."
We believe that what makes Spain the sorest at Germany is that Germany introduced the dispase which the world now perversely jcalls "Spanish influenza."
Kaiser Wilhelm thinks Ferdinand of .Bulgaria is crazy, because he wept. But if Wilhelm were as sane as Ferdinand, he'd be weeping too.

AN ARISTOCRATIC COW.
Tt alt originated at a small grocery store, where they sold everything from and to a pearl necklace. A farmer )ad gone for some liryment to rub on liis cow's bad leg. The bungling greet- gave the old farmer, however, some scene instead of liniment.
The day following the farmer came back in a great rage. "Look here.'' he said to the grocer, "I wish you'd be more careful how you chuck things over that counter. You gave me eau de Cologne yesterday, instead of liniment, an' I'd put it on the blessed cow before I knowed." "I hope it hasn't done her any harm," said the grocer, in a mollifying tone. "Harm be hanged!" snapped the farmer. "That 'ere cow won't eat now, ior allow herself to be milked. The only thing she does is to sigh the -bote day long, and go look at her reflection in the pond."

Between "Bits" Over the Hun Line They Like a Spree Along Picadilly.
By Arthur F. Armstrong. LONDON, Sept. 2.—The American soldier on his first visit to London from some of the numerous camps around England, often asks why there seem to be so many aviators strolling around the city streets, apparently without a care in the world. It is evident that many of them are veteran flyers, for they wear ribbons and decorations A-hich could have only been won by grea.t valor on the field.
Most of these men, the American Teams, are "on leave." T^ondon is the great "rest-camp" for aviators. After a long period of War flying in France, they flock back to London to rest their nerves, until the medical officers pass them for return to duty.
Two to four weeks is the average period they spend in this city. They naturally look forward to these periods of leave with great pleasure, but by the time their three or four weeks are up, they.are beginning to be anxious to get back into the atmosphere of gasoline.
Any day one can see dozens of them arriving at a certain London station. Their faces reflect pleasurable anticipation of their holiday, "I can have a rest now," they are saying to themselves. "No five o'clock calls in the morning. No roar of engines in my ears all day. No more dodging shellbursts over Belgian swamps. I can forget the war."
So they settle down for a day or sn.
Every air communique brings a Curious pricking to their heart, as they lead it at their breakfast table in the hote^. They read of some particular exploit and think, "That sounds like our squadron up to its tricks again."
Like Trumpet Sound.
They meet friends newly arrived on leave in London, and drag them o: to some secluded spot where they can get the latc.st news of the squadron, hear the latest aerodrome stories, and become. for a little time, part of "the show" again.
The drone of an engine over London sonnds like a trumpet in their ears. High above Trafalgar square they see a machine flashing gaily in the sunlight, and they long to be in it.
At last they can hide truth from themselves no more. They cultivate an air of robustness and a straight poise, so that the medical officer will pass them as ready for service again. They are eager to get back.
LOOKED SUSPICIOUS.
Jinks had one bed of geraniums in his garden of which he was very fond they made such a fine splash of color. And the neighbor's cat was also partial to them only she didn't admire them from a distance, but from in between. The result was that nearly every morning Jinks found one or more of his pet plants smashed to the ground. Repeated complaints to the owner of the cat had no effect, so one fin^ day the cat disappeared. Jinks' neighbor was very much i^pset and determined to trace his lost pet.
He lay in wait for Jinks' small son and asked him. Your father hasn't said anything about cats lately, has he, George?"
George shook his head. "Nor your mother?" went on the cross examiner insinuatingly. "No,'" said the small boy "but last night father was cleaning his gun, and mother said thank goodness we could leave the milk jug ouiside ibis mora- I
TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.
B. WILSON,
Secretary of Labor.
This Labor day finds America at the greatest crisis in .-.istcry. The nation is engaged in the greatest war the world has ever seen, ar»^ upon the results of this war will depend the fate of humanity for centuries.
We have sent a great army abroad to co-operate with the armies of our allies. Our navy is clearing the seas of the German submarines. Our men in blue and khaki have won glory by many heroic deeds they have helped to inflict upon the foe a crushing defeat which, we hope, may prove the turning point of the war.
But whether it does prove such depends as, much upon those who remain at home as upon those who go abroad to fight. We have no fears for our soldiers in France, provided we can keep them well fed, well clothed and properly equipped they have already shown themselves more than the equal of the kaiser's best troops.
Upon this day, of all days, we must consider seriously the problem before us at Horn®. We must maintain our armies in the field at the top-notch fighting strenrjtb, and we must supply the needs of our allies and the starving people of Belgium.
This is the day on which labor must consecrate itself to a great task—the task of winning the war. For this tremendous duty halfway measures will not suffice. There must be absolute loyalty and devotion to the nation's cause—these, I believe, our people have already shown beyond a question. But more than this, there must be a, clear understanding of the great need, and a new determination to gratify it.
Maxim urn production is the goal for which we must strive. With every workman giving his utmost st.-ength and will power, we shall attain it. The task will not be easy, nor the effort small but we have no choice. To save all that we hold dear, wc must work, work, work for the boys in France and the allies- One phrase sums it up "Work as you wpuld fight,"
The coal miners are doing that. Tfcey have produced the greatest amount of coal in history, despite the heavy loss of men through enlistment.
Many records have been broken in shipbuilding. Great industrial plants are producing material for the army at unprecedented speed." The Nashville powder plant, the greatest in the world, was completed three months ahead of time.
One workman made a record by driving 4.875 rivete in one day. Only a short time afterward, the mark was parsed by another, who drove 5,000. Now we are told that a workman has driven 6.000 rivets in one day. Such deeds as these show the spirit that animates our people and have served as examples to stimulate the whole great body of Americans to nobler tasks.
The glory of it all is that labor has visualized the needs of our armies and our peoples and its own relation to those necessities. Labor accepts that responsibility enthusiastically, loyally. With our splendid army on the battle fields of Europe, reinforced by an efficient industrial army in America, militarism is doomed to defeat. Democracy will be triumphant on earth.

This is a day of balanced good and evil in planetary influence. While I Venus is in benefic aspect, Saturn is I adverse.
The stars are more kindly to women than they'are to men while this configuration prevails and seem to promise political and industrial benefits of the most radical character.
It is a fortunate sway for love affairs. unless older men and women are concerned in them.
Saturn in menacing aspect seems to foreshadow difficulties with mines and mining. Coal may be very scarce because the estimated shortage is made more serious by an accident or disaster which win affect the output. There is also some danger of labor difficulties.
The rule is a sinister one for elderly men and women and raajiy may die within the next half year.
The seers again declare that a mysterious power is likely to protect American soldiers and sailors so that loss of life in the war will be smaller than in proportionate in comparison \yith casualties sustained by the nation's allies.
Trade will be good in many parts of the world as autumn advances, it is ^prognosticated, and the United States will be very lucky.
Congress comes under a rule making for difficult measures involving complicated issues, disagreements and long debates.
The planetary direction is most favorable for newspapers, drugs and the products of the earth.
Benefits from the war are to be recognized by even the least patriotic, astr '~*-»rs declare, because of the.j national spirit that is to be born of

Say Hun Officers Bayonet Men to Make Them Fight
SHELBYV1LLE, Ind., Sept. 2.—That the war would be over right now as far as Germany i.s concerned, were it not for the German officers, is the assertion made by Dr. Wade H. Kortner, a lieutenant in the United States
army
medical corps, in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leander Fortner, of VanBuren township. Shelby e*tiney.
His letter follows, in part: "I can say that we are beginning to feel that we can see the end of the war. From -what I learn from the front, the German soldier is awfullytired of fighting. Some of the prisoners we take have shallow bayonet wounds in their backs, and they say that their officers jab them in the back and make them fight. Their men at the machine guns and heavy artillery are chained so that they cannot get away, our boys say that were it not for the boche officers the whole German army would walk over 'No Man's Land' and surrender. "The prisoners all express surprise at the number of ^Americans fighting against them. One of our boys is equal to~eight of the Germans. A few days ago one of our fellows bayonetted 13 of the Huns and wanted to go after more. "I have seen many German prisoners in France. They are glad to be there too. One guard can take 75 of them out to work on the railroad and they will not attempt to get away. It i.s thought that you could not drive them away." wnk\ iV i01 n*
