contrary. All classes and ages are willing to serve. More than that, they demand a chance to serve. The 'work or fight" program is one that appeals to Americans of all conditions. The people were always willing to give the government more than it ventured to ak. President Wilson has spoken eloquently of the uso of "force without limit." That is the true American propram. It is economy to use oil the power we have and to use it quickly. Congress will raise the draft and "work or fight", age to 45. It will raise it Again to fifty, if necessary.

GOOD LUCK, LIEUTENANT. Hammond today feels as if after having had the Uni'ed States army encamped within its environs, it had lost the whole army. Lieutenant Willi.im Welch has gone away to be hriof, ho has started for Prance. The T'r.ited States government has commanded the conservation of print paper so we may not have space to detail all the activities of Lieutenant Welch during the time he has been domiciled in Hammond, but for a genuine, old fashioned, lown in-the bottle patriot commend us to the lieutenant. Ixm? before the war wifri the Hun starPii. Welch was on t lie joh in Hammond. With the help of the patriotic fathers und mothers of Hammond, he has spread the fame of the city from Hell Gate to Golden Gate by sending more young patriots to fight the foe from Hammond than any other city of its size in the I'nitcd State? and in many cities it has eclipsed places of ten times its size for recruiting. Welch is a man of

j Indescrihahle energy. He helped to build Liberty Hall, helped to organize the Soldiers and Sailors Parents association, the American Alliance. He has been actively j mixed up in (-very war propaganda Hammond has known, i He lias been death on pro-Germonism and disloyalty and I we are glad to say he found little of either In the city. I w- ' '- -tmbltior o no to Fr"' If ever a mr.n

deserved the trip it is W-'ch. Th" V. S. has t w j vl recruiting so he gtfs to go. I.at night his friends gathered to present him a testimonial of their regard. They paid him a magnificent tribvite. May good luck go with him! May he come back a general and may he come back to Hommond. For Hammond will miss him!

BIG TIME STUFF.

Tho?-' n.inenwerfers which American marines cap-turr-'l in ih.-ir pl..iul.-i .tdvar.oe at Chateau Thierry are not, as some people s- em to think, magnified wienerwurts or anytl.:r, tho .'-.rt. They aro big guns of a tvpe wltlch ) :ive rar !y fa! Ion into allied hands. Their enr'ure is fvttiiiol.o, w. b.-l-'eve. of what may be expected when the Tnitcl States g.-t fully into its stride in the war. Big guns, an 1 1:' t g'tns, generals and privates a!l will be fish to the American net when it is once flifcS into the sea of ha' tie.

standing on the -part of the Kuropenri allies is cn.'nterbalanced by the war ei,.v of the United States." We wish it w. ie po.-. ih'e for a little sense to be pounded into the blockhead German press. The Frankfort r;p.-r is mistaken. There is, (1), no desire for peace on the p.-.rt of th- European allies, and, ("), there is no war craze in the United States. When those lines, or lies, which ever you prefer, were being penned for the Frankfort Gazette, Maximilian Harden, the only man in Germany who dares tell the truth, was solemnly asking Berlin, in the light of the past, what possible ch?ne? i thoueht it had to win, end at the same mom n the r-ho.vs of that Germany so desirous of peace wf re sinking p--ireful, unarmed American Trawlers off the fishing banks here.

Still, there is no "war craze" in the Fn;fed States. There is, however, a quiet determination to go through with this affair until the end, and it will be a bitter id for the Hohe r.zo'Ierns when these crimes and insults are wip-t d on. The civilized world to-py is r.o more deceived bv the hypocrisy of Berlin than it is surprised at her late evidences of friehtfulness or is afraid of the bombastic claims of the mad monarch.

I'ertrrecs j- aked to do now what Secretary Bakr dissuaded it from doing a couple of months ago what the house of representative?, at least, was willing to do rrore than a year ago, when the original conscription liw was passed, says the New York Tribune. From the start the whole problem has been to utilize our available man power for war purposes. It was utilized most inadequately in the department's first draft p!an, which sought to confine conscription to the classes between If and -"-. font-res balked at this, rightly holding it to be an unfair Rd.otxtment of the burdens of military pervic. The department was thinking only of getting men for th first fii:!rm- lire. But' wars nowadays are not fought wholly on the battle front.

BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN. The war news from the eastern front these days is had news for the German people. Quotations from German newspapers portray the gloom that overhangs the people in the larce cities. That the people in the small towns and country are equally depressed is not to be doub'ed. The Liberty Loan bond buyers of the preceding loans have their share in the success of the entente allies. They furnished the sinews of war not only to fight the P -boats and to build ships, not only to raise, equip, and send our soldiers over, not only to suply them and our allies with food and munitions, but more than 16,ni ..1,000,000 of their money has been loaned to our allies so that they may prosecute the wor with vigor and st rength. We here at home have an opportunity to send the Germans some more bad news. The Germans have great respect for money; they know its vital value in waging war. They know, too, that the support the American people give a government loan measures largely the support they give their government, the moral as well as the financial support they give their armies in the field. A tremendous subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will be as distressing to the German people as a defeat for them on the battle field, and it will mean as much. It spells their defeat; it breaks their morale; it means power to their enemies. A subscription to the loan is a contribution to German defeat and Americon victorv.

WE find In our inquisitive WAT that It Is a whole LOT of comfort to a woman to know that EVEN if the auto was pretty well SMASHED up SUE had on tr.e beet underwear there was in her drc?ner.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce enlightens the public with the statement that the railroad administration increased all rates and fares because it desired to insure the government aea'.nst any deficit in the operation of the roads. Part of this deficit would have been due to the $30,00,000 increase in wages to operatives. "The increase in rates will undoubtedly be added to the cost of commodities," say? the correspondent, ' but th public is becoming accustomed to taxation now." Yet one of the stock arguments of proponents of government operation of the railroads was that i would reduce freight rates and lower the cost of commodities. As to the efficiency with which the roads are now operated, all you have to do to ron vince yourself is to take o trip on a government controlled line. No further argument will be necessary against its perpetuation in this country.

THE GERMAN BEATITUDES. It is not known whether the following cred was composed by a German or by a foreign student of Germanism. It has the ring of genuineness; it is not farfetched or overdrawn. The military masters of Germany have acted upon this creed, and the German army, their disciples, has lived up to it: "Ye have heard how in olden times it was said, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth'; but I say unto you. 'Blessed are the valiant, for thty shall make the earth their throne.' And ye have heard men say, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit'; but I say unto you, 'Blessed are the great, in soul and the free in spirit, for they shall enter into Valhalla.' And ye have heard men say, 'Blessed are the peacemakers'; but I say unto you, 'Blessed are the war makers, for tfey shall be called, if not the children of Jehovah, the children of Odin, who is greater than Jehovah.'"

THE Department of Lobor has issued a statement denying that meat prices are higher in Washington, D. C-. than in any other city in the country, and figures are quoted to show that prices in several other cities are higher than in Washington. Now who will rise to defend these other cities?

WHEX the fourth Liberty loan bonds ate offered it should be remembered that a person can be a slacker in respect to bonds just as much as in respect to entering the army or naval service. Therefore, don't allow yourself to- be a bond slacker. South Bend Tribune.
