Second Liberty Loan
A Great Success; Get
Ready For Next One
The second Liberty I/ran is a success.
Millions of Americans, rich and poor,
have loaned their country billions of dol
lars—not only all, but more ihan was
asked for.
By so doing they not only again put
the seal of their sanction upon their gov
ernment’s war plans, but announced to
the world, particularly to the German
people, their determination to continue
the war until the object for which Amer
ica entered it is accomplished—the free
dom of the world thru the crushing of
Prussian militarism.
There is not the shadow of a doubt 1
that the magnificent resign*' of the |
American people during the past four
weeks to their government’s stupendous
money needs, is as great a blow at the
morale of the German people a> th> re- j
cent glorious victories of the British and
French on the western front.
It is not mere rhetoric, but literally
true, that every man. woman *>r h i
who bought one of the-e Lil»erty Bond.-
has contributed in some measure, how
ever small, to the final victory which
some day, we cannot know when, will
crown the arms of America and her!
allies.
Your Liberty Bond is a badge of honor
of which you may wa-ll be proud
If it is but a $- r >o bond and t e money
you paid for it represents real sacrifice,
then the honor is ull the greater.
There are going to be other I/ians— t
many of them.,
Within a few months you are going to
be given another chance to loan your sav
ings to your government , a- a furthei
pledge of your loyalty, independence and
dignity.
It is your duty to yourself, to your
country and to the cause of liberty thru
ont the world to begin now. today, to get j
ready to do your part toward making the
third Liberty lx»an even more sfu!
than the first and second one ,
When th e next call comes do * ot -uffer
the humiliation of not being able to re
spond because you have wasted you, >ur- !
plus momoron Useless things.
Probably million- of people who had
the desire to subscribe to the second Lib.
erty Ixmn were unable to do so liecause
they had failed to anticipate the neces
sity for saving.
Keen as their regrets may be and pi»»t>-
nhly are today, they can do much toward
wiping them out by beginning now to
prepare for their duty by saving for the
next loan.
,The financial resources of America are
practically unlimited. Our annual in
come in greater than that of any other
three nations of the world.
W*» can finance our; part im the w.ir,
however much it coats, without the
slightest difficulty if everyone of us will
do his part.
But we cannot do our part if we spend
our surplus money for the so dish, un
m*iv.«M»ry and for the most part harm
ful things which are imri for us in pe<tce
time and which in wartime are a posi-
L live menace to the nation.

O. K. With Air Enough
We creature- '■{ th’- mite of a planet
j called the Earth are to get such a splen
did \ .ew of an enorm us comet, next
June, that in spite of the war. the scien
■ ti.-ts are already unusually busy with
astronomy, ad. a u-ual, the red hot
theorizing is largely focu-ed on old Mars.
The teic-.-cope anu spectroscope experts
have at last practically unanimously
! agreed that if Mar- isn’t inhabited, it
| "light to be and could be. Mars has an
i atmo.-phere c."seiy re-embling the
j Kaith’.-, th<* con-iderabiy rarer. It has
it- seasonal and physical changes identi
cal with th"-e of th* Earth. save a- to
I duration. It has pen: o >*nt division- and
j features ju-t the Earth*-. Y"u'd be
; ready to swear that it lias men, women,
! children, dog-, chickens. cats and such.
1 were it n"t for that little master of
! over-rare atmosphere. I.ct us put our
scientific mind on this poinb or imjyedi
nrent, for a moment.
Mars atmosphere ha- plenty of hydro
gen. How much of oxygen has it? Our
air is largely made up of oxygen and hy
drogen. What do we do. when short
air? We revive tb*> half-drowned person
with a pulmonator, < <n*aining oxygen.
When an invaii i get n* arly out, w’e apply
oxygen. When an -.hirer wants to go
'way up into real r e air, he wears a
helmet full of oxygr .
Forsooth, a g"t to do to clinch
our idea that Mar- Is inhabited i- to be
lieve that the Martian- are so constituted
as to get along on a limited amount of j
oxygen in thfir atmosphere, or have de
vised mean- of supplying themselves
with oxygen. Don’t discard thi- latter!
proposition before receding that we j
Earth inhabitant- hav* only just begun I
to get SO vital an essential to all Earth j
life as nitray* from <>ur a*mosphere.
Now. ’•if .-<•>• ? ; •• }y sat-1

Spirit of Democracy
BY UR. FRANK CRANE
(CopyrlghVdDls. by Frank Crane)
Thv I nitml States is ju*t now eiiKageil
in th<' most critical enterprise in its his
tory. Ii is a business that has to be
done not pretty well, but in the very l>est
way possible.
A stricken world, attacked by the most
efficient military organization ever
known, has cried out for help. If the
help we offer is to lie of any use it must
be overwhelming. The blow we deliver
must cany with it every ounce of
strength "e jvo>sess.
No nation can strike unless it is united.
It> i 1 war is in exact proportion to it
unity.
It is the 9rl°r> of democracy that it
ifives the individual citizen the maximum
of liberty, lie can h r " and come,-carry
on his all airs, and express hn opinions
as ho pleases. I'his is the air of free
dom in which ilemocracy thrives.
Rut if that is all there is to it, a democ
racy is no mote than a mob and slumps
into anarchy.
This pint off ****dom ouyi'nt to be a
spirit of co-ofH'ration. If ; I** simply
the spirit of eternal di.-sen.-ion there is
L no -» ia! pri’K . " <-otnmunal
st renjrth.
This is what a Jot of jK»ople do not real
ize. We have decided, thru oui
chosen officials, t*> pro to war. Refore we
did so it was proper t<* 'iis< uss whether
we wanted war or not. N<»w it is not
proper, it is w*akn* •, folly and verpre.v
on treason.
[ti revolt apjains* monarchy we insisted
upon government b\ majority. If we
will not let the majority rul*», but keep
on revolting, we an* -imj lv a lot of ijuar
rellinjr school children. We become im
potent .uid ridiculous.
The trouble with people of tlie stripe
of Senator Follotte is that they are
not pood sports. Heaten in the arena
of public discussion, they refuse to jnve
up. They a e incapable of social, united
eifort. They would reduce our govern
mental structure ft a l eap of stones.
Does intelligence preclude team work?
Are tninku peopi. incapable of concert
ed action? < an a people that play base
ball not do as diSciplii'ed service in de
fending their rational ex tence? <an
a free i>*o{>ir nor work together for a
great tie* !. out m «. they ta.k, talk, talk
forever ?
The people who continue carping at
the rnit>d States for going to war are
not noble heroes, loyal to their con
science, Martin Luthers, on* n an-with
(»od, and all that; they ape petty, petu
lant, egoistic and wilful. They are like
pouting school girl-, who, if they cannot
hav • their own way, take their doll rags
and go home.
When a nation'- existence and the.
principles that underlie its liberties are
in danger you cannot dignify those un
ruly and opinionated minds who prefer
the triumph < f their own contentions to
the life of the whole community.
There i but one worthy stand to bn
taken now by the citizens of thi.* country,
and that is to . land solidly undivided be
hind the President, the Army, and the
Navy, submerging pride, of opinion in pa
triotism, at least until this hour of dan
ger be overpast.
The man who cannot do this cannot
play the game of life; he i a bod citizen
and a {>oint of weak no s in our communal
life.
Government by majority may have its
flaws, but government by nuisancf is in
tolerable.
