Captain Rinker Says 'Buy Bonds" Captain W. N. Rinker, well known Greemcastle man, has been in the Merchant Marine and has taken his ship to all parts of tlv' globe. In a letter received from New Guinea he comments regarding the part that dollars are playing in the war for Liberty. Mr. Rinker’s

letter followsr

The condition of our mail when it arrives is quite interesting. It ranges from the clean fresh envelope to the battered, tonn, dirty and sometimes scorched envelope. To the mail that does not get here, we can only guess. Nevyr hesitate ta repeat parts of letters sent overseas, since it is possible that your last letter was lost. They lifted the censor ban in th>' Admiralty Islands and I wrote you from there. That is the closest that I have been to the Japs, Some of my souvenirs, the Japs had in the mornring and I had them in the afternoon. No, the war is not at home, that is true. I doubt if given an opportunity, would our ene.mies strike our land. Our enemies are smart and they know that public opinion today is rather indifferent. So indifferent that it does not realize the results of war. The results today, a few disabled

How much isn’t the issue now as a modern war is not carried on with any regard for expenses. We need things, better things and always more and more things.

two tons of supplies a month and a Liberty ship carries 10,000 tons or about 500 minimum car loads. So you see any single ship even tho very large, is a mere drop in the bucket. But these drops on their way and ! arriving on time will shorten this! war. These drops that are made pos- j slide by money, sweat and produe- | tion then delivered to our enemies by blood and service. The requisites of the home front and the war zone are entirely different. Yours is one of production, effected by public sentiment, mine is to deliver the cargo to its destination in time for the boys in their fox holes and the boys in the Navy to use it as they

see fit.

Our Liberty is challenged and must be protected. How much will it cost ? A silly question. It has cost other peoples, who remained indifferent too long, their all. Their home, family, health, money and even then they lost the main issue. Liberty. The price America will have to pay for her years of indifferences wilt not be small and it is not going to be over very soon. As citizens we are obliged to accept the chattel mortgage that has been placed against our liberty. The paym'.-nts, either service, money or both will hurt and they will be due at shorter intervals before it is over. If there was only some way of bringing realities home, peophsimply couldn't think of the present in abstract terms. So — long, Capt. Wm. Rinker, S. S. Lyman. Stewart, Postmaster, San Francisco
