JiOTICE TO IITBSOUBERS. If you fail to receive your copy of Thb Times as j promptly as you have In the past, please do not think j It has bean loat or was not sent on time. Remember that , .iir. ..cr.r.4 with the ura-ent movement of i

troops and their supplies; that there Is unusual pressure In various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many train are late, Tm Timss ha Increased Its mailing equipment and Is cooperating In vsy way with the postofflce department to xpodita delivery. Evan o. delays are Inevitable because of the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal of men from many lines of work.

A DAILY DUTY. Each day every American soldier in Franc? Is con fronted by a great duty. Our army there has a great tank to perform for our country, for the world, for civilization, and for humanity. Our soldiers are doing their duty with a courage and fidelity and efficiency that thrill every heart. Each day every American citizen at home Is confron'ed by a treat duty, a duty an imperative upon him or her as the duty of our soldier is upon them. The American reople have a great task to perform. If Is to support to the limit of their ability our army, our navy, our country at war. To work with Increased energy and efficiency so that our national production may he increased: to economize 'n consumption so that more material and labor for transportation may be left free for the uses of the government; and with the resultant savings to support the government financially is the daily duty of every American. It Is a duty that will be met by every American whose heart is with our soldiers in France, who glories In their courage and fighting ability and their success.

THESE SUPREME SACRIFICES. We fathers, mother?, brothers, sisters and sweethearts must grit our teeth and steel our hearts In preparation for the receipt of sad intelligence. If ever we were brave in our lives we must be brave now when these casualty lists are made public. These are solemn hours in our country's history. Only those of a bygone day can know how solemn they are. There are those living who went through a fratricidal civil war where hundreds of thousands died and were wounded that men might be freed from slavery. Of far vaster moment is this conflict. A whole world Is threatened with slavery. That fact is no longer indisputable. It cannot even be argued. Froof of it has been thrust on a heart sick w-orld with millions of proofs. Our boys must die to make the world free as the boys of other nations in far greater numbers than ours have died or will ever die. Ve cannot hope to go through it without sacrifice, without death, without wounds, without tears and without suffering, and we must all be prepared for the Inevitable. Many of our dear ones will have to give their lives and their bodies to vanquish a barbarous, soulless, greedy foe and let civilization live. We cannot any longer live for ourselves. We must live for others, we must die for others. The fateful message that comes from the war department must be received bravely. It will wrench the heart and tug at the very soul of us, but we must appreciate the fact that these loved ones are going in a noble and righteous cause. We are living and working and suffering that our children and and children's children and the countless unborn may have the right to live their own lives and not be the crushed and broken slaves of tyranny more hideous than was ever waged before. It hou!d be some sustaining knowlcdee To us to know that our country has joined other countries in a noble, a humanitarian and an altruistic cause. If th world has reached the stage where a country cradled in freedom refused to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who think no sacrifice too great who will squeeze the last drop of blood out of their bodies in this terrible conflict with the devil and all his angels, it would be time to move out of it. There must be pome consolation, some sustaining power for the bereaved. Surely it will be in the knowledge that their loved ones will not make the supreme sacrifice in vain. How much better to die on the field of honor for others than to be made vile slaves by others. How much better to know they are fighting in a crusade of light against darkness, of cleanliness acainst cor ruption. Why cannot we all understand that these boys of ours are fiphiing the battle of normal life against perverted ferocity. A great French editor now in Chlcasn says of the ideals the allied boys are fighting for: "Our ideal is to re? 'ore in Europe a spirit of liberty, of humanity, but. above all, of respect for international law. That spirit will he restored or.lv when the other i-pjptr, the spirit of brutality, of aggression, of domination, will have been extirpated from Europe! That other spirit is symbolized by the Prussian militarism, and Prussian militarism must go. It. shall go when the Germans will realize that thev are not the strongest, but the weakest; when they will realize that they have not to dictate terms of peace, but that they have to agree to terms of peace"; when they will realize that they have to respect the independence and the liberty of every nation in Europe, great or small, strong or weak, as the supreme law of Europe and of the world. For that we shall fight to the end." Let us bear our burdens like men and women. Let

us wipe away the tears and b strong in our consolation f

for the others who are bereft. Let us remember, and this after all is the great thing, that our lives here are the most, infinitesimal fraction of the eternity beyond. We are only here for a day and how glorious will be the reunion with those who have gone before fishting for righteousness.

LIQUID BAIT. The sheriff of Yorke County, Me., Is said to have ruled that prohibition is not at all incompatible with the use of liquid bait on fishing trips. "In accordance with a custom whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," he says, "it is permissible for an angler to take two quarts of whisky Into the woods with him." "A Daniel, yea. a Daniel come to judgment!" cries the Rochester Fost-Express. Fishing is such dry work, to be sure! And presumably Rochester citizens are fond of fishing trips in Maine. It would be interesting to have a national symposium of opinion on this engrossing theme. IWw do they ever catch fish in ptates that are really dry if there are any such?

NO SIGNS OF REVOLUTION. The crown prince of Bavaria has pone home and Ibe German crown prince is reported at Potsdam. Ra's desert a sinking ship and these two worthies doubtless are anxious to be absent while defeat follows defeat for their arms. They are prominent on the front when the German arms are winning but. distinctly absent at other times. Muncie Press. The great American fault these days is jumping at conclusions. We have repeatedly expressed the opinion that there is no concrete evidence of Hun disintegration. Rupprecht left to get married, but he is back on the fighting front. The crown prince was out in an interview yesterday and it was pretty cocky. The Huns are getting roweled pretty hard, but they are putting up a desperate fight. It is a long way to the Rhine. Germany, it is reported in the dispatches, has plenv of food of its kind., Our people are warned today by French leaders that we must not be too exuberant. France has long ago quit jubilating. The Hun hordes are not beaten and the war will not be over for many long months of bitter sacrifice. Let us not delude ourselves about Germany. Fnce fact not hopes.

OUT WITH THE NAMES. We agree with Mr. Creel when he says we must not be too optimistic; that overconfldence may result in military disaster if we fail our soldiers and sailors. "The disintegrating forces of overconfidence are at work. Feople are saying. 'What's the use of another Liberty loan? The war will soon be over'." Who are the people that are saying this? If Mr. Creel knows of any it is his duty to notify the department of justice aad have them arrested and punished. We venture to assume that Mr. Creel knows whereof he speaks and is not dealing in generalities. He admits that "Germany could well afford to spend millions to spread this point of view, in its essence it is defeatism of the worst sort." The people of the United States are willing to sacrifice to provide for our men abroad, and spies and propagandists and profiteers must be punished at home.

THE FABLE OF THE BRICK AND THE WAR BOND. Once upon a time the Elders decided to build a new church. "Dearly Beloved." said the Presiding Elder. "We want this new church to represent everybody that belongs to this parish. Some of U3 have a little more than others and we can give a little more. Those that have only a little can give in proportion to their means. Everybody can give something, even if it's nothing hut a couple of common brick to fill in the underpinning wall." A few days later one of the shoutingest members of th congregation hove in sight trundling a barrow load of yellow brick and dumped them on the site of the new edifice. "Wal, I reckon I've done my share toward that air church," he drawled. This Fable teaches that the man who subscribed for a $K'0 Liberty Loan Bond does a very meritorious action, and is entitled to credit for if. Also, this Fable teaches that a World War cannot he won with one or two Liberty Ian Bonds any more than a Church can be built with one barrow of brick. The Fourth Liberty Loan drive begins September 28. Make up your mind that you are going to contribute more than a few bricks or rather that, you are going to buy all the War Bonds you possibly can pay for to insure the beating of Kaiser Bill.

IF th kitten over-subscriptions to tha various war activities THAT the, neighbor's cat has made during THE past sis months WON'T win tha war. nothing else will. IT la said that German soldiers ARE being drugged to make them fight THAT'S nothing THE whole German nation has ben drugged that way for 40 years. OUR beloved rastor TOLD us yesterday that In times like this a TIGHTWAD isn't worth a whoop in hell AND hasn't any more chance of salvation than a SNOWBALL in the .same place.

"You would be surprised at the regularity witch which enlisted men write home; the anxious inquiries s to home folk and friends, his Interest in all his old civilian friends, his thoughts of others and bis good wishes for them. For all this on his part, I am sorry to say. those to whom he writes are not answering his letters or arreals for news. These same people, most likely, are busy attending all manner of meetings, knitting socks, etc.. and convincing themselves to their satisfaction that they are doing their lot. . . What the enlisted man wants Is news from home. Sooner or later, unless he gets it, it will make very llttlo difference whether it comes or not. Tell all your friends to rass the word along that the, men over in tho trenches, who are doing the fighting, want news from their homes. Tell your church workers, welfare workers and the like to get on the job and keep their

! overseas church members, etc.. closely

informed of everything thit is going on. This is the way to keep thorn in the straight and narrow path."
