Liberty Loan Thought There are no neutrals in the United States. Such a status as being neutral has disappeared since the nation undertook the task of whipping the Huns. Any citizen who professes to be neutral should be in a detention camp. Neither should there be any neutral money at large. Every dollar in America has one duty. It must enlist. It must serve during the war. The neutral dollars that do not understond why we are in the war, should be confis- ! cated and put to patriotic service. The slacker dollars, hiding behind flimsy excuses or taking life easy, should be inducted into service. Moral The way to do this is to put them into Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds.

Registration on September 1 2

Citizens of Wayne county between the ages of 18 and 45, who have not as yet registered for

military service, are called on by presidential proclamation to enroll their names on Sept. 12th.

The draft boards of Wayne county, and es

pecially the one which has jurisdiction over Richmond, have a heavy task ahead of them. It behooves every man of military age to help the officials by acquainting himself with the procedure before September 12th, so that the work may be carried on expeditiously and efficiently. The two draft boards of Wayne county serve without pay. These officials have a trying time and are confronted with many perplexities. Their work has been uniformly fair and they have acted upon the evidence presented in selecting men for service. The community owes them thankful consideration. If they have been imposed upon because the full truth was not set out in the affidavits asking for deferred classifications and exemptions, the fault lies not with them but with the men who were base and yellow enough to perjure themselves. The board is not to blame. The present registration will be a heavy one. 'Registrants will help themselves and the board by coming fully prepared to answer the questions on the blanks.

The German Peace Propaganda Defeated badly on the field of battle, the German government is preparing to launch another kind of drive for the purpose of obtaining a negotiated peace that will permit it to retain part of the booty looted from the weak nations and stolen from the Russian people through connivance with the Bolsheviki. Marshal Foch's hammer blows against the flanks of the old Hindenburg line are resounding through Germany, plunging the press into gloomy forebodings and filling the common people with awe. The day of reckoning is coming. How can we best escape ? What terms are acceptable to the Allies? These are questions that the Germans are asking themselves. The allied governments are pledged to the dictum : "Peace by victory." Or in other words, there is no escape. Peace will not be declared so long as Germany can escape with her military etablishmnt intact to jeopardize the future happiness of the world. Germany must be brought to her knees and peace terms will not be negotiated with Belgium as a pawn, but dictated by the victorious Allies. Germany must be satisfied and contented with the conditions which the Allies prescribe. The American people must turn a deaf ear to the peace propaganda that is sure to come within a few weeks from German sources. This clever camouflage of the Germans may be hailed with joy by a pacifist class and by certain opponents of military preparedness. Their influence must be, and will be, shattered against a public opinion

demanding that Germany pay for the outrages she has committed. No sane man will say that a robber, upon his confession of guilt, has the right to keep the stolen jewelry and precious articles. The law insists upon restitution of property and punishment commensurate with the crime. Germany stands before the judgment bar of civilization, accused of robbery, rapine, murder and abhorrent crimes. Shall she be permitted to escape her punishment by deluding us into accepting "peace by negotiation?" The German press sees the handwriting on the wall, and all the mouthings of her generals and leaders cannot obscure the fateful inscription. Says the strong Cologne Gazette : "The greatest German bffensive cannot even be compared to the present fights. We must not let the relative calm reigning in some sections deceive. Are these troops in need of rest, or are they designed for fresh fights ready to attack on the first opportunity? Our staff must take the necessary disposition to meet, any painful eventualities." The Basle Gazette (Swiss) says : "The German morale will be irremediably shaken by the allied victories. The belief in Hindenburg and Ludendorf animated the whole German policy. They have been brought up in the idea that they are the strongest and this belief

formed the basis of their conception of the universe. If they suddenly find out that they have been mistaken, it is just as if the floor that supports them gave way." A correspondent of the New York Times, writing under a date line from The Hague, asserts : " 'Now that the Americans have come we are finished and the game is lost,' many people say. 'All these Americans have arrived in France and not a single transport has been lost, and England has more food than ever, in spite of the U-boats,' are repinings no longer whispered, but voiced openly, and even discussed in the newspapers. Confidence in the government is rapidly waning. Desperate efforts are made to keep up the spirits of the civilians." Siegfried Hecksher, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, says: "Hundreds of thousands of Germans, when they have read, as they did yesterday, a pronouncement by the President of the United States, ask themselves in despondency and bitterness what the German Government says ; so there is formed a cloud of discontent and dull doubt, which, in great part, thanks to this Northcliffe propaganda, spreads itself more and more over the German people. Against this of what use is

it that the supreme command publishes its excel

lent commentaries on the official army reports?

Of what good is it that the Admiralty Staff adds

its most skillful explanations to the report on the German submarine successes? And of what use

is it that the Wolff Bureau appends a lifeless and sober remark to the English, American, and even the French Ministerial speeches?" Within three weeks the American people will have a brilliant opportunity to deepen the gloom that is gathering over Germany. The fourth Liberty Loan, generously oversubscribed in double quick time, will proclaim to the Hun leaders that the civilians of America not only are sending their sons across the Atlantic at the rate of 200,000 to 300,000 a month, but also are backing them to the limit with money. If you want to help defeat the Kaiser's peace propaganda and his army, remember September 25, 26 and 27, and do your full duty.

Verdun From "My Lorraine Journal," by Edith O'Shaughnessy (Harper & Bros.) VERDUN! The sound is like a clarion call. Vei. dun! It is short but gravely harmonious. It is satisfying to the ear, it is quickening to the soul. Verdun! It is for France the word of words; in it lies the whole beauty of her language and of her martial glory as well. Who shall" say it is but a fortuitous collection of letters, this word Verdun, beautiful as a chalice, that hold the dearest blood of France? It would not have heen the same mystically, perhaps not actually, had it been Toul or Epical or even that other melodic sound, Belfort. Verdun! It is the call through red days and nights, and everywhere the sons of France rallying to it with great hurryings lest mayhap one be there before the other, to dye with deeper- color the crimson of high deeds. Verdun, ear and tongue relinquish you regretfully. Verdun, glory and sorrow of France, I salute you, Verdun! Verdun!

ther," he said, "was a very great man. One day Queen Victoria touched his shoulder with a sword and made him a lord." "Aw, that's nothin'," the Boy Scout replied. "One day Red Wing, an Indian, touched my grandfather on the head with a tomahawk and made him an angel." A bailiff went out to levy on the contents of a house. The inventory began in the attic and ended in the cellar. When the dining room was reached the tally of 'furniture ran thus: "One dining room table, oak. "One set of chairs (six), oak. "One sideboard, oak. "Two bottles o whisky, full." Then the word "full" was stricken out and replaced by "empty," and the inventory went on in a hand that straggled and lurched diagonally across the page until it closed with: "One revolving doormat." The poor fellow at the end of the table looked so unhappy that even the landlady's stony heart was moved. "How do you like the chicken soup, Mr. Jones?" she asked, by way of saying something. "Oh er is this chicken soup?" he blurted out. "Certainly. How do you like It?" vvpu er it's certainly very tender," he said, apologetically.

""Robbie; can't "you play "without making all that noise?" asked his mother. "No, mamma, I can't. You see, we are playin' picnic, and a storm has come up and I'm the thunder," replied Robbie.

Miss Marguerite Clark of the fillums has our most distinguished consideration. At the marriage license office the other day she confessed to thirtyone years. This makes her the oldest screen star in the world. No other has ever acknowledged anything like thirty-one. All Israel was looking for sugar. The government had just promulgated an order that every family should be allowed two pounds per month for every member. The mob surrounded the Israel Grocers, Ltd., and the manager wrung his hands in despair. "Give us sugar!" screamed the mob. "Impossible!" shrieked the manager.
