Ju-t now, when South Bend seems having a rather difficult time diH0iu5 of its quota of Liberty bonds, amonjj its citizens, rich and near rich here is a .sermon on patriotism. It comes from .Sturseon Ha.'. Wis. The f-tanda.nl of patriotism preached in this sermon is f-o much above the patriotism of many thousands of men and women in the seventh reserve district, that. the Liberty loan executive committee is sending the story broadcast throughout the district in the hope of roi:siiiiT a spirit of emulation in the breasts of all citizens, loth r.atuntlrzed and native born. Were every man in this district to attain the standard of Demosthenes of Sturgeon Hay, Wis., it is pointed out, the whole $3,000,000,000 would be subscribed in this one district alone: Demosthenes, a l.ooo percent American, has the following message for Uncle Sam: "You can borrow anything and everything I have." And this is not his message alone. It is also the message of his two brother -Antoreos and fUavros. Their surname is Anairnostopoulos, and they conduct a small cai.dy store in Sturgeon Hay, Wis. Let Iernosihenes Anagnostopoulos do the rest of the talk ing: "We boys didn't have anything when we came to this country. My brothers and I were very poor in tb- old country. All we have w made here. This country has given us great opportunity. Whatever we have we owe to this country. "We don't consider that we have done anything beyond a fair share in taki OOö worth of third Liberty loan bonds. We took Jl.fiOO of the seond loan, and our allotment for tho third ban. tigured by the appraisal committee on the lusij of assessed valuation of property, was $100 each, or $.".00 for the three of us. Hut as we had the money and we knew that Uncle Sam wanted to raise much money for the war, we decided to let him have all our savings. We know that it is a safe investment, and we don't consider that we have been particularly, patriotic in lending this amount to the government. "We talked it over, and we decided that we owed this country s unething everything and we felt the least we could do would be to lend money to the government. " Tony' is in the draft and probably will go to one of the cantonments on the next call for soldierr. He is qlad to go and tight for his country. We Stavros.nnd myself are glad to have nim go. a d if we are called, w e too, will be glad to co. "We don't ('t-iilr that we are entitled to be known as patriots for lending our money to the govcrnmmt. The security is so good, the interest is so high, the investment is so excellent in every wav that we would have been glad to take tdvan;:.ge of the opportunity even if the best co intry in the world had not been at war and in need of money. "In the Id years we have lived here, we have prospered. W know that America gives every industrious n an a splendid opoprtunity. We want that opportunity continued. That is the real reason ve subscribed." We do not reproduce this for the edification of the Greeks, or the Italians, nor alone for (lermans or so called Clerman-Amencans. It is for the native l.orn, as well as natural.?. d also, and though the nativitv run back through generations. To some of us. t.orn here, and reared unöer the I'lag. American rights and privileges are regarded altogether too cheaply; "we were born free." to paraphrase the defence of St. Paid before the Uornan.

You appreciate most that which you have worked hard to et. "A battle is a living thing," says Händenburg. "We must allow time foe everything to mature." Hut is there enough life in his hattle to bring it to maturity? Other Editors Than Ours ri'IJLIC OPINION AT PKAGUi:. (Jarj Tost.) It is probable that if the people of Germany and Austria could approach the problem of the war with a free hand half of them would vote for peace at any price. There aro peoples within those empires who ar opposed to their government and would be glad to shatter them if they had the opportunity. Even ia Vienna it is said that the French generals are cheered in some of the cafes and the German emperor is hissed. Dislike and hatred is common in Hohemia, Poland and generally among the Slav peoples. That is unde: stood because we know that these races are practical ly conquered people and never did have any love for their conquerors. Hut why Austrian dislike Hill, the Hun. Is not so clear. It may be because they have come to consider Austria, herself, as a satellite nation and under the control of Germany. Here is a dispatch from Amsterdam which shows the spirit of Hohemia: "Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Prague, capital of Hohemia, on Saturday denounced the Germans and cheered the en tente and Pres't Wilson, says a dispatch from that city to the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin. "All the Czech members of parliament and pirty delegates, together with Slovene and Serbo-Croat delegates, met in the town hall and adoptee, a manifesto. The crowd gathered in the streets outside the hall in support of the policy of the delegates. The principal demon stration occurred at the close of the meetinp. The feeling against Foreign Minister Czernin was shown by the shouts of disapproval with which his name was greeted. The crowds dispersed sinking anti-German songs. "A conference of representatives of all Czech parties at Dux, the dispatch says, unanimously opposed the establishment of a German-Hohemian province, asserting the Czech minority in the German speaking region would resist Germanization to the utmost.' When Pres't Wilson is cheered in Austria and the Germans are denounced it shows that Emperor Karl's county is seething with revolution to the domination of the military powers. If ever the military hand i? loosened on Austria that country will go to pieces quicker than one can say "scat." ALIEN IMM'ULATION SHOULD Ll'AKN ILNGLISH LANGUAGE. (Lafayette Journal.) The disproportion existing between our educational facilities for children and those for aliens, tends more and more to impress thoughtful people. The principle of compulsory school education for children is practically universal in this country. The United States spent last year in its common schools for the education of its children, the vast sum of $örö, 077,1 id. In addition, the colleges and technical schools received $107, 5.10, L'i'G. Out of these rcat sums but an insignificant fraction was spent for the education of aliens over school age. Most of that education is conducted in night schools. There are probably no statistics showing just what was spent for that purpose. Hut, judging by the very limited extent to which such schools are conducted, not more than a very few millions could have been expended for instruction of aliens. And a large part of these schools and classes are provided by voluntary effort, not by taxation. Yet there is in our country a vast mass of aliens who need education just as much as our children We give it to all the children because ue believe that if they grow up ignorant, they can not perform intelli gently the duties of Citizen! in a democracy. Yet great masses of aliens are permitted to take part in the du ties of the community, without the slightest attempt to overcome their ignorance or give them any training for citizenship. If the native born needs to know how to read his ballot before voting, why not the alien who came in here after he had passed school age. Why does not the theory of compulsory education equally require compulsory education to some extent for the non-Ilnjilish speaking alien, whether he haa pars ed beyond the present school age or not? "GOOD-BY" IN GERMANY. It looks as if the German uo eminent were deter mined to dicourage travel v ithin 1 1 - empire. It is re ported that placards are now hung in all passenger sta tions ordering people to pay the'r good-b in Ger man, and not in any enemy language. The French "adie:j" has be.n verv commonly used in Germany. Now lt use i strictly forbidden. The German Unerase cont.'ns jdmple. easy words meaning '"farewell wV.ih to an outidr uo-:ld seem to t- normal v.or.ls lor th- departing .raveler t use Hut the German g -.v e rnm-r t . for reasons unknown do" not permit its meek iitiens to use s-ucj words as ' lei euohl." In.-t ad ih-; ,ir told to make "heir choice of parting word- from th- :dlowing list: "Gott I s' h;j t:'.- I ; h: Gutt gm- Dich; auf wieder hhen; auf PaMige.-w if ddrrsben. auf sehrbaldigeswied ersehen;" and "auf ein rrchtherziegesf rohes! -aldUest-wiedt-rtch .ri." And while t r i r : to decide between these WOE! AND WHOA! (Hy I.ootli Tarklo&ton.) If those Liberty bonds are bought, they stand behind the army that stands between you and the kaiser's army. You know what the kaiser's army has done in Helgium and France and Uussia. Hut neither the Atlantic ocean nor the British fleet can protect us If we do not support our government by buying these bonds. The kaiser said: "I am God's voice and God's sword! Woe unto them that oppose my will! Woe! Woe! Woe!' When he savs these tilings he means them, and also he means us! He means' Washington and New Yor and Indianapolis and Milwaukee and Kankakee and Council Hl ins. He means Prer't Wilson and Gov. Good rich and you and me and the children. The kaiser has 5.000.000 soldiers, a great navy, new submarines, liquid tire, poison gas. 100-mile guns, and a nation of people devoted to his orders. He means deadly harm to us and annihilation to our freedom. And you have got to defend yourself or he'll lo you the deadly harm he purposes. The kaiser says "Woe!" to you. and he isn't "Just talking." He means agony, biood. and slavery for you if he can get at you. Let's get out the old rawhide whip and send him the answer to his strafing and wr.e-im; and gott-sword-ir.g. When he says "Woe to America!" buy a Liberty bond. A Liberty bond says "Whoa, Hill!" to the kaiser with a crack of the whip that shows him we mean it. THE MAN IS THE EXCEITION. (Ijnnxirig Journal.) Once again the exception that proves the rule has been tound. Harold Huse, former clerk of the local draft board at Pontiac, has l.een sent to prison for one year, after pleading guilty to the charge of accepting money from drafted men for aiding them to escape military service. Now the rule is that thousands upon thousands of clerks and oth rs connected with these draft boards all over the country have honestly, etP.eiently and pa triotically performed their v t ry arduous and most un usual duties !t is a mattr of national pride, thU -;dendid record made by thee men. and the service has been given unobtrusively, absolutely without beat ing of drums or blaring of trumpets, a very excellent record indeed have the draft boards and achieved. And. as sail!, the convict i n of crooked noted is the exception which proves the rule. it was Base's distinction as an exception which helped to secure him so comparatively light a sentence for so shameful an offer.se. officials practice Perhaps Cheer up. automoMlists! The National Geographical ! magazine says there isn't going to be any exhaustion of our oil and gasoline supply, because we have in ac cessible shale deposits several times: as much oil as we have in all our ptroleun. fields together. When th oil wells are pumped dry, all we've got to do is to fry out the shale. Nevertheless, that fact is not a good excuse for wasting gasoline in war time. aiding thi: ::nemy. I$y Carl J. C'ooht.

' Then up came two men both of j quiet mien, I One asked if either of them had i been seen About aiding our boys who have gone to France, Or if either had been given a chance To buy a bond or make a donation In aid of those who fight for the nation. Tweedle-dee-dee quickly turned on his heel. Tweedle-dee-dum, with a sound like a squeal. Slunk away in another direction. To extend their talk on war cor rection Away from those who work for the nation With their lives or financial donation. Wonders of Starlight 11V GAItHETT I. SKRVISS. There are about 22i.00O.000 stars within reach of the largest tele scopes now in existence. Judging from the decreasing rate at which the numbers increase with increase of distance, it is estimated .hat there exist not much more tlan a thousand million stars which can not at present be seen with our in struments, although their contribu tion to the total amount of starlight rnay be a measurable quantity. In dividually they are imperceptible, but the sum of their rays, coming from all quarters of the sky, is rut only about one-quarter as much light as the single star Sirius. The total amount of starlight fall ing upon the earth is probably equivalent to about one-hundredth of the lUht of the full moon, and nearly three-quarters of it is con tributed by stars, all of which are too faint to be individually visible to the naked eye, and the vast ma jority of which can only be seen with the most powerful telescopes. If you are driving along a coun try road, on a moonless and cloud less night, vith tall trees shutting in the roadway on both sides, you ee overhead a faint streak of sky, with a few bright stars, like elec tric pointö. and you may think that the dim, barely perceptible illu mination that falls between the shadowy banks made by the trees is due to those visible stars. For a fact, however, it is prin cipally dua to multitudes of invisible stars buried deep in the fathomless background of space, and about one quarter of one per cent of it haa come from the distant realm of that thousand million stars which no telescope can reach, and whose light waves have been, on the average, at least 20.000 or "0,000 years on their way before reaching the earth. Yet, if we could go out among those stars we should probably find that, like the nearer ones, they equal our sun in average luminosity. It Is distance, not smallness, that makes them separately invisible. Thirty thousand light-years (a light-year is the distance light trav els In a ear), are about 175,000 -000, 000. 000. 000 (175 quadrillion) miles, which is not much less than two thousand million times the dis tance of the sun from the earth! Now, to see what effects relative nearness combined with size pro duces, take the brilliant star Sirius, which is nbout fifty trllions of miles distant and between CO and 40 times brighter than the sun would be at the same distance. About cne-thirteenth of all the light sent to us from the stars clearly visible to the naked eye comes from Sirius alone, although the others number several thousands. Sirius contributes about one sixty-third part of the en tire s'arlight furnished to our night sky by the whole known universe, with its twelve or fifteen hundred, or possible two thousand million stars. Now. if the star Canopus, which, as we see it in the sky, is. owing to its vast distance, only about half as bright as Sirius, were put In the place of Sirius it would give us at least two hundred and fifty times as much light as Sirius does, and more than one-third of the entire starlight falling on the earth would come solely from that tremendous star. Moreover, it would give near ly 20 times as much light as all the nakedeye stars down to the sixth magnitude combined. It may be that in that part of the universe where Canopus shines supreme all things are made on a vaster scale than that which rules In our dim quarter. And I have been, perhaps, belittling Canopus. for I have taken the moderate es timate that his luminosity exceeds the sun's 10,000 times, whereas some astronomers reckon his superiority over the sun at 50.000 timer At least two other giant stars be sides Canopus have been detected glimmering across space like mighty conttagrationa minimized by distance to specks of light. One of them is the beautiful star lüget. In the foot of the constellation Orion, a star that carries an exquisite blue companion almost hidden in its r!iamond-bright ray, and the other is the star Deneb. at the head of the "Northern Cross." in the con stellation Cygnus. . Canopus and Iligel have a pierc ing and flashing brilliance which accord well with their great rank in the first order of the suns, but Deneb is e. quiet, unobstrusive look ing star, and one of the last of its magnitude that anybody would j have picked out for a prodigy. All three of these stars are set j down in astronomical lists as of "N" luminosity. I. e.. so bright tha. they must exceed the sun at least 10,000 times, and possibly much more than that. Which of them is the greatest there are no meatf of telling at present. Canopus is the most brilliant to the eye. but that may he due simply to his distance being the least. All three of them have so far baffled every attempt to measure their distance, because their parallactic angles are too small to be grappled. WAR-TIME LEXICON "Tim LINGO OP NO MAN'S LAND."

Name also used sometimes in reference to mine. BOX BARUAGE: Fire from a battery so directed as to drop shells on three sides cf a j-pecltied area. A skillfully directed box-barrage will not only cut off enemy advance in front, but prevent flank movements, or reenforcements coming up from other patts of the trenches to the help of the part attacked. SECOND HA Bit AGE: The barrage proper is laid down before advancing troops, or over a particular area. When the attack comes, a second barrage is directed to drop a line of bursting shells at a distance back of the fire-trent hes, thus cutting off the front lines from supplies and reenforcements from the rear, while the Infantry attack takes place. Enemy forces caught between the two are practically an nihilated. CUFEPIN'G JIMMYi High velocity shell which gives no warning of its approach. This term Is more or less colloquial in different parts of the line corresponding probably to the "Silent .usie" of some other section of the trenches.
