Our Immigrants Money From the South Bend Times.

THE Pennsylvania railroad has taken a Liber-: ty loan census of its employes. It finds that thirty-two per cent of its foreign-born contributed to the loan, to thirty-four per cent of natives. That is to say, the immigrants gave Uncle Sam their money just about as cheerfully as those who were born and bred Americans. The racial roll of foreign-born investors is an interesting document in itself. There are fortytwo nationalities represented. The Scotch won first honors as bond-buyers, with a percentage of sixty-five. The Canadians came next with fiftytwo per cent. Forty-three per cent of the Irish were represented, thirty-six per cent of the Russians and Poles, thirty-two per cent of the Italians and Germans, and twenty-seven per cent of the Austro-Hungarians. Among the rest were Swedes, Spaniards, Swiss, Roumanians, Norwegians, Syrians, West Indians, Arabs, Armenians, Persians, Africans, Croats, Japanese, Chinese and men of many, other races. The list represents admirably the fine spirit of .our adopted sons in general. They subscribed to that Liberty loan in almost the same proportion as our natives did. They -will doubtless do likewise With subsequent loans. They may do better. We shall have to "go" some" to beat our sometimes unappreciated "foreigners" in the voluntary enlistment of American dollars for the triumph of American ideals.

Do We Dare To Resist The Kaiser?

(By James A. Woodburn, Head of Department of History,

Indiana University)

Have you ever read the indictments brought by our fathers in the Declaration of Independence against George III ? There were some charges and most of them were justified against that stupid German king. .. But George . did very

little compared with what the Kaiser's govern-1

ment has done against the American people. To prove it let facts be submitted to a candid world: It has sunk our ships without warning and unlawfully destroyed the lives of our peaceful citizens on the high seas; It is carrying on against, us operations to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy a civilized nation; It has filled our land with spies, and excited domestic insurrections and disorders among us ; It has intrigued with Mexico and Japan to at

tack us, and has partitioned our territory among them, at a time when we were still assured of its unshaken friendliness! This German Government has poisoned the minds of a once liberty-loving people by glorifying "blood and iron"; It has violated sworn treaties as "scraps of paper" ; It has waged war with unprecedented barbarity, employing weapons and methods hitherto unknown among civilized nations ;

It has ravished, enslaved, plundered and

starved the non-combatant populations of Bel

gium, Poland and Northern France with an efficiency of heartlessness unknown since Attila the Hun; It has bombarded defenseless towns from the air, and it3 pirate submarines have ruthlessly done to death multitudes of unoffending men, women and children. It is impossible to live at peace with a government like that. Its guilty deeds have created a state of war. We have entered upon war to curb this mad power. To the successful prosecution

of that war we have pledged to one another our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

A Patriotic Woman Almost every paper you take to hand these

days contains an article telling of the heroic sacrifice of some mother. The Kansas City Star, in a recent issue, printed the, story of a widow who has three sons in the service and is advertising for an experienced farmer to help her harvest the crops. The brave fight of this woman puts to shame some of the mothers who complain loudly because a son was called to the heroic duty of fighting for his country. Mothers who have been inconsolable and

have raved against fate, even going so far as to

give utterance to words that border on treason,

may read with profit this article as it appeared

in the Kansas City Star. It will tell them indi rectly what their patriotic duty is:

"If I Can" -"About that servant question." I began, after Dicky was comfortably settled and smiling over his cigar. "I will employ one, a first-class, really competent housekeeper, If you will make no objection to this." 1 opened the letter and handed it to him. He read It through, his face growing angrier at every line. When he had finished he threw It on the

floor. "Well, I guess not," he exclaimed. "I know that club game; it's the limit. There's nothing in it. They'll pay only a beggerly sum, and you'll be tied

to mat same afternoon once a week for a year. Suppose we had something we wanted to do on that day? We would have to let it go hang." "I suppose if we had something we wanted to do on a day when you had a commission to execute you would leave your work and go," I answered quietly. "That's entirely different," returned Dicky. "I'm responsible for the support of this family. You are not. All you have to do is to enjoy yourself and make home comfortable for me." We were interrupted by the door bell. Dicky went to the door while I hastily dropped the portieres between the living room and the dining room. I heard Dicky's deep voice in greeting. "This Is, good of you, Lil," and Lillian Gale came into the room with outstretched hand.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have come so soon,", she said, "but you see I am bound to know you, even if Dicky does spirit you away when we want you to join us." She threw him a laughing glance as she clasped my hand. "I am so glad you have come," I

WAR TOOK WIDOW'S THREE SONS

Now Mrs.

C. J. Moore Can't Harvest Her Crops.

Address : : C, 773 Star. : Four hundred acres of land, a sufficiency of wealth as measured in dollars and cents, but a poverty of sons and helpers is the predicament of Mrs. C. T. Moore, a widow of Gentry, Ark., who has given her three sons to the naval service and now advertises for an experienced farmhand who will not enlist and cannot be drafted. Robert, her youngest son, -was accepted in the navy two Tears ago. Harry and Harvey, who are unusually similar twins, were accepted by the marine corps recruiting station in Kansas City yesterday, and she is left with two daughters to harvest a $3,000 hay crop and gather a $2,000 crop of corn, besides caring for a large orchard's products. Mrs. Moore makes no effort to fill the place in her heart reserved for the son3 away in their country's service, in fact bars any proposal of marriage. But her requirements for the farm helper will be strict if he must qualify as capable of maintaining the efficiency established by her and her sons in the management "of the 400-acre farm. The presentation of her three sons to the Nation's service bears in this case an especially beautiful significance. The certain sorrow of separation of a mother from her flesh and bleod, the material inconvenience of interested helpers taken from a farm with standing crops valued in thousands of dollars; and above all the fact that Mrs. Moore is a native of Germany who has foresworn allegiance to her native heath, and now freely gives all to her adopted land.

Hagerstown, Ind., Sept. 2J, 1917. Editor, Palladium, Richmond, Ind. The Law and Order League and W. C. T. U. of Hagerstown, in a joint session last Thursday evening, September 27, adopted the following resolutions: Whereas: Certain newspapers carrying the report of the trouble between Mr. E. E. Root of Hagerstown, and Attorney Henry U. Johnson in the Matter's office last week conveyed the Impression that said trouble was possibly caused by the Law and Order League; and that It was probable that said trouble "would cause a rupture in the ranks of the Law and Order Whereas: There are those in Hagerstown who openly defy the liquor laws and dare and threaten those who attempt to bring them to justice; Be It Resolved by the two organizations here assembled that we have not or do not now, encourage law breaking In any form; that we regret and deplore the occurrence of the incident above mentioned, although Mr. Root, while not a member of the Law and

Order League, had lent us valuable aid; And Be It Further Resolved That the Law and Order League, with the assistance of the W. C. T. U. hereby re-affirms its determination to not cease its efforts until those persons in Hagerstown who openly defy the liquor laws are brought in to court and made to suffer the penalty.

said cordially, but inwardly I fiercely resented her Intrusion, as I deemed It. But . what was my horror to hear Dicky say casually: "You've come at a most opportune time, Lil. Madge has had an offer from some woman's club to do a lecturing stunt on history, her specialty, you know, and she want to take it. I wish you'd help me persuade her out of It." "I cannot imagine why" we should trouble Mrs. Underwood with so personal a matter," I beard myself saying faintly. -Mrs. Underwood laughed boisterously. "Why, I'm one of the family, my dear child," she said heartily. Then she looked' at me keenly. "I might have known that one man would have no chance with two women," Dick growled. His tone held capitulation. I knew I had won my battle But was it my victory or this woman's I so detested? "Don't let this man bully you," she advised, half-laughingly. "He's perfectly capable of It I know him. By all means accept the offer if you think it's worth while. All these husbands are a bit archaic yet, you know. They don't realize that women have joined the human race." "Come, Dickybird," she rattled on as she saw his darkening face. "Don't be silly. You'll have to give in. You are just fifty years behind the times, you know." During the remainder of Mrs. Underwood's brief call she ignored Dicky and devoted herself to me. There is no denying the fact that she has

great charm when she chooses to exercise it. Dicky, however, appeared moody silence until she rose to go. "You ought to preserve that grouch.

she carelessly advised, as he stood holding the door open for her. "Carefully corked in a glass jar. it ought to keep to give your grandchildren as a horrible example." Dicky grinned reluctantly and bowed low as she passed out of the room with a cordial adieu to me. but no

sooner had the door closed behind her than he turned to me angrily. - "Look here. Madge," he exclaimed, "are you really in. earnest about taking that blasted position?" "Why! of course I am," I answered. "It seems providential, coming just as you Insist upoa having the maid. I can engage one with a clear conscience now." v Dicky sprang to his feet with & muttered word that sounded suspiciously like an oath, and began to walk rapidly up and down the room, his hands behind his back, and his face dark with anger. Up and down, up and down he paced, while I, sitting quietly in my chair, waited, nerving myself for the scene I anticipated. When it came, however, it surprised me with the turn it took. Dicky stopped suddenly in his pacing, and coming swiftly over to me, dropped on one knee beside my chair and put his arms around me. "Sweetheart," he said softly, "I do not want to quarrel about this, nor do I wish to be unreasonable about it. But, really, it means an awful lot to me. I don't want you to do it. Won't you give it up for me?" I returned Dicky's kiss, and held him tightly as I answered: "Dear boy, I'll think it over very carefully. If I possibly can, I will do

as you wish. But, remember, Irsay If I can. t haven't made you a definite promise yet" "But you will, I know; that's my own dear girl. Goodbyt I'll have to rush back to the studio now." Dicky's tone was light and confident

as he rose. Life always has been easy for Dicky. I heard him say once he never could remember the time when he didn't get his own way.
