' Gold for the Red Cross

Old gold and silver ornaments that have been snugly resting in jewelry cases for years can be

put to a glorious service.

A Richmond jeweler proposes to melt these precious metals and turn over their equivalent in

money to the Red Cross society. Here is an ex

cellent method to utilize ornaments that are use less or unservicable. A beautiful gold or silver ornament, no mat ter'how small or inexpensive, has charm and at

tractiveness when it is worn. If it stays in a box year in and out, it does not serve the purpose for which it was made and purchased. It is use

less. It neither makes more attractive the own

er nor provokes admiration from persons who

see it.

These pieces of jewelry should be put to j good and noble service. By conversion into a raw state, their intrinsic value can be redeemed and used to further the highly humanitarian work of

the Red Cross society.

Who would not feel elated to know that an old

ring, too small for use or too worn to be of serv

ice, had been placed at the disposal of the Red

Crocs? Who would not gladly give the old brooch, bracelet or pin, for a cause so noble as

that of the Red Cross ? Hundreds of dollars worth of old gold and sil

ver are lying idle in our homes. Let's put them to use. Let's melt them into gifts for the Red

Cross. '

Expensive fads galore have in the past struck

the town. We spent money to indulge in them.

Let's set a new fashion in Richmond and consid

er it a disgrace if we have not contributed a piece of gold or silver to the melting pot. Every piece of jewelry thrown in the melting pot is a demonstration of loyalty and a proof of our faith in the Red Cross.

Indiana Goes Over the Top Indiana has entered the list of states oversubscribing their minimum quota of Liberty Loan bonds. The state will now attempt to increase its subscription 50 percent. Half of the counties are virtually 50 per cent oversubscribed now. There was no doubt when the campaign opened that Hoosierdom would answer the call of the nation with a financial response worthy of the best traditions of the state. A commonwealth that sent thousands of men into the army and navy long before the selective service bill was enacted and that proved its love for the flag by donations to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. and by hundreds of other manifestations, could not be a slacker in the matter of loan investments. Patriotic deeds speak louder than words. They prove that our words are backed by our deeds, and that our professions of loyalty are

not the mouthings of enthusiasts but the convictions of men and women who are willing to . sacrifice mightily for the success of our cause. Wayne county did its share of the work nobly. It is still engaged in raising the additional 50 per cent over our quota, but there is every indication that the loyalists will put the county in the list of political units that accomplished

what the secretary of the treasurer asked us to

do. - .

Our Innocent Enemy The full perfidy of Germany is unfolding day by day. For four years. Emperor William, Hin-

denburg, and high officials have been asserting with positive declaration that the war was forced on them, that they were taken by surprise

by the Russian mobilization, that they are fight

ing a defensive warfare and that their intentions

always were pacific. Papers taken from Captain von Papen, notor

ious agent of the Kaiser in the United States,

show that in March 1914, five months before the outbreak of the war, the German government was' seeking how to blow up trains in case of a

European war. Von Papen, who was sowing Ger

man . propaganda in Mexico, reports the various methods employed by revolutionists in the south

ern republic, and expresses his opinion as to their

efficacy. If any deluded man or woman in the United States still believes that Germany was not preparing for a mighty war and was not aching for a chance to put her war machine into play, the revelations of the last eighteen months ought to be convincing in the nth degree. Von Papen's report merely substantiates from another angle what the world knows. Germany's whole ambition was to rule the world with force. She gathered data from all parts of the globe so as to be able to utilize in warfare every bit of brute force known to mankind. How admirably she succeeded in her bloodthirsty ambition is a matter of history. Her Kultur was only a cloak that hid brute force. The best synonym for her Kultur is brutality, "Spurlos Versengt," and "Schrecklichkeit" are manifestations of that burtality. And yet the Kaiser asks, "What have I not done to preserve the world from these horrors ?" U. S. Bonds vs. German Indemnities From The Chicago Tribune. , COUNT von Roerdern, secretary of the imperial treasury, speaking of taxation revision in the reichstag, said : "We don't know yet the amount of the indemnity we shall win." This ought to give an American a new reason for hunting up a Liberty bond salesman without waiting to be hunted up by him. It will be easier to receive the interest on an American government obligation than to pay the principal of a German government debt. If the dollars at home do not back up the men in France, Germany will put her war debt on other shoulders, and some of the shoulders will be American shoulders. Germany is a practical appraiser of what the traffic will stand when a war indemnity is to be imposed. Some one suggested the other day that a good policy for Americans was to give until it hurt. The Germany policy, when victory gives it a field of operation, is precisely the policy of making a defeated people give until it hurts. Germany has a war debt which British financiers say means bankruptcy. German financiers protest that the empire's finance is sound and that its debt will be carried by as perfect a system of distribution and revenue production as human brains can devise, but the expectation of an indemnity is revealed. Germany is in doubt just now merely as to the amount. A little victory would mean a small indemnity. A big victory would mean a big indemnity. If Germany's enemies were conquered and subjugated Germany's financing would be reduced to the simple process of passing the German debt to the peoples who had been Germany's enemies. No victory at all, no indemnity at all. Defeat of Germany would mean reparation ,by Germany for damage done other peoples. One of the big questions of the war is who will pay it. There will be no doubt if Germany wins. Germany cannot win against a determined and enthusiastic United States. ' The practical fashion in which people who remain at home in the United States can show determination is by buying Liberty bonds. The money which goes into an American bond is an investment. The money which would go into a German chest would be tribute. The United States will have to disappoint the German financial calculations. For German indemnities not a penny not if enough dollars go into Liberty bonds.

Moment

A LETTER FROM THE FRONT Somewhere, Sometime in April. Dear Folks Several of the boys in our company got umbrellas from home by the last boat This is a grand idea. A good umbrella will help any soldier pass safely through an air attack. And. then, it Is liable to rain any time. Send useful presents always like umbrellas. Yours, JACK. Secretary Baker went to Europe "to speed up the allies," according to the Creeled report. And as soon as he got there, the Germans speeded up. This is a mighty contrary world. Contributed. I have come to the end of a meatless day And peacefully lying In bed. My thoughts revert in a musing way To the food which today I've been fed. When I think of the cheese and the beans and fish And the oysters I've had to eat I've no regrets for the "good old days" I really didn't miss the meat I have come to the end of a wheatless day. I have eaten no cookies or pie. I have had no bread that was made with wheat It was made out of corn or rye. And I liked it so well that when the war Is past ' And a glorious victory won, I'll keep on observing wheatless days, And I'll eat corn pone for fun. The Briton to the Hun. We boat you on the Somme, And we beat you on the Aisne; We gave you hell at Neuve Capelle, And here we are again.

TO THE VOTERS OF RICHMOND, AND WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA

I beg leave to offer myself as a candidate for the office of County Commissioner from the Eastern District on the Republican ticket As it is difficult to meet every voter in the county personally, I take this method of soliciting your vote, believing that this will come to the notice of more voters than I could possibly reach in person. Having served as a member of the Common Council of Richmond, for ten years and during that period eight years as a member of the Finance Committee, under four different Mayors, Thistlethwslte, Freeman, Ostrander, and Zimmerman, and during Mayor Zimmerman's administration in 1912 and 1913, I served as President of the Board of Public Works, I feel that experience of public affairs so gained qualifies me for the office of County Commissioner

and so It is with confidence that I ask for your vote.

My record as an every-day man as well as that of a public official Is well known to many of you, it is a record to which I can point with pride. Trusting that you will give my your hearty support, I remain Respectfully. '
