Why You Must Buy Liberty Bonds War is a glutton that lives on lives and riches. There is no limit to the devouring greed of war. As long as there is an unconquered life, or an undevoured dollar war is hungry. When war attacks a nation there is no choice every able-bodied man knows that he must fight now or later. Selective drafts may miss a man here and there for a few months, but if the war goes on a time comes when every man who can walk and carry a gun must go to the colors and fight for the very life of his country, his family, himself; When war attacks a nation there is no choice every dollar is subject to the call of mobilization. Some of the dollars escape for a time and stay in their safe investment places earning profits for their owners. But if the war goes on long enough, every dollar must come out and enlist under the colors. In time of war, when the very life and death of a nation is being decided on bloody fields, money has no choice between courage and cowardice. Every dollar must fight or be classed as traitor and put in the outlaw list. Remember these things. The nation has a right to take absolutely every dollar of property in the United States for the life and death war against Tyranny, Autocracy, Slavery and Foreign Aggression and Vassalage. But the nation does not intend to exercise that final and desperate right. No! The government says: "The nation is fighting for its life. Lend us your money. We will give you Liberty Bonds, secured by all the wealth and sovereign taxing power, bearing 4V4 percent interest, and protected by a good sinking fund, with tax exemptions to make the lean better. Avoid the extreme necessity. Invest in all the Liberty Bonds you can." Treasury Department. Big Events in U. S.

THE country as a whole was not specially interested in the election of either Mr. Lenroot or Mr. Davies as senator from Wisconsin, but it was greatly interested in the verdict of the state on the war. Mr. Lenroot, the Republican candidate, will have a plurality of possibly 10,000 over Mr. Davies, the Democratic candidate. Mr. .Berger, the Socialist and anti-war candidate, is a poor third. Both Lenroot and Davies declared themselves strongly in favor of the war, and pledged their hearty and cordial support to the administration in the prosecution thereof. No man could have voted for either of them without committing himself to the war. There can, therefore, be no Question of the entire loyalty of the combined Lenroot and Davies vote. If Lenroot is elected, as seems probable, the country is to be congratulated. He is the strong man of the Wisconsin delegation in congress and thoroughly loyal. The position that he took in the campaign that closed yesterday was clear and unequivocal. Those citizens of Wisconsin who were opposed to their government and its purposes had the fullest opportunity to express their views by voting for Berger. Thirty or 40,000 of them did so, and they must be counted as the anti-war party in Wisconsin. Outside of this circle, the people of the state may with confidence be claimed as supporters of the Union, and as loyal American citizens. There can be no question of Mr. Lenroot's honesty, and intellectual integrity. The pledges that be made to the people in his campaign will be re

deemed, both in letter and spirit. Perhaps there was some resentment of the intervention of the President and Vice President in the struggle, which indeed seems to have reacted against Fr. Davies, the Democratic candidate, who had pledged himself in unmistakable terms to the support of the. war and the administration.

GREAT BATTLE

Continued From Page One. tack against the Franco-British front, the Germans sustained heavy casualties in their fruitless efforts against the British. Dernancourt and Albert, along the Ancre, were the iositions attacked most heavily by the enemy, while a strong assault wajS made near Moyenneville, 20 miles north of the Som me. For many hours the enemy surged against the British line, but succeeded only in gaining a footing in the foremost trenches at Dernancourt. Southwest of Albert a British counter-attack drove the enemy from the front line positions he- had entered there. At Moyennville the enemy was thrown back with loss. Between this point and Albert, in the region of Mesnil, the Germans were unable to dislodge the British from their defenses. Southeast of Gommecourt, in the region of Serre, north of Mesnh. the British launched an attack and captured 120 prisoners. In vigorous counter-attacks, the French have driven the Germans from some positions north of Mont didier. At Mailly-raineval, where he made gains Thursday, the enemy was driven back., Further south, at Cantigny, the French attackers gained and held the northern and western outskirts of the town. On the Lass-igny-Nopon sector the French also made a slight advance north of Mount Renaud. There has been lively artillery activity here as well as around Verdun.

There are present in the state 268 enrolled nurses, of whom 170 are in active service. The war must be their first consideration, the nurses were told at the state meeting. Co-operation with the government and the Red Cross was urged. An effort is to be made to keep up the training schools at thr hospitals in order that nurses may be trained to step into thep laces of the women who have gone to the front. All throughout the war there has been a great need of nurses, but now the need is even greater, and the prime motive of the state nurses convention was the launching of a drive for nurses for army service. Miss Bertha King, who is secretary of the state association, and Miss Emma Kemper, attended the meeting from Richmond.

WAYNE STANDS

Continued From Page One was given toward the Rotary club war fund. First "Over the Top." Wayne county has the credit for reporting the first township to go over the top with its quota and war savings stamps. The honor go to Cn. ter township, which over-subscribed its ouota ""d v the first to make a report to the state. The selective service board of the Hr6t district estimates that from 900 to 1000 Wayne county young men are now with the United States army. Of this number almost 600 have been conscripted into service by the local boards, and the rest are Included among men who voluntarily entered the servics. The Richmond board has sent about 475 mfcn from this part of the county since America declared war on Germany. Four hundred and forty?slx men have joined the army and a hundred have entered the navy. Under direct order of the government patriotic organizations have effectively supervised the activities of the county, and have put into effect every order of the administration. The Wayne county council of defense has done much to organize the county for the war, and prevent pro-German propaganda. Food Rules Obeyed. The observance of the food conservation regulations was made general through the untiring efforts of Harry Gilbert, county food administrator. F. S. Bates, as county fuel administrator, met the many problems of his difficult office with tact and intelligence. There have also been organizations for the Liberty Loan, Red

Cross and other patriotic campaigns to whom much credit is due for the success of the undertakings. A hundred thousand articles for the relief of war sufferers have been sent out by the Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross during the pa6t year. The w,omen of the county have been untiring in their work for the chapter and the end of the first year of the county workshop shows that an army of trained, Industrious women has succeeded the few who aided in its organization. In connection with the Red Cross there was also a campaign in the interests of the Belgian relief, during which thousands of garments were contributed for the war refugees in the occupied territory. At the Red Cross membership drive this year 13,000 members were obtained, bringing the total membership up to 15,000, of which half are from Richmond. Workers at the Wayne county headquarters in Richmond range from 100 to 200 daily.
