Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite service to the country. Not all can fight, not all can work directly for the government; but in buying a liberty loan bond, or war savings Btarapa, every American ren- ders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United StateB financially; it is a poor American who withholds support from the government, from our sol diers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans. Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged be tween TurkiBh and Oerman sover eigns may be but the honors of atroc ity. But a liberty loan button, sim ple as it is, signifies a patriotic duty done and Is an Insignia of honor. In response to a letter from Secre tary of the Treasury McAdoo the . postmaster general rules that there is no provision of law under which a bank can send through the malls free of postage notice Informing a client that an Installment payment on account of liberty! loan bonds purchased at the bank is due; that this Is a private transaction between the bank and Its customer, and It will be Illegal to furnish banks with franked cards or envelopes for iibo in sending such notices. It Is very touching to see the Chinese president wearing the peni tential Bheet In public, but we real ly prefer the wearing of soiled linen at home. The White Guard and the Red Guard are raising the mischief In Finland, but in Germany they have a few extreme - specimens of the Blackguard. As the Berlin papers announce the mysterious ' death of . the - Grand Duke Nicholas, he must be causing them some trouble. Whale meat Is said to be as nour ishing as bread', and another beauty about It Is that you don't want near ly as much. : , Love making Is seldom done In pictures, sayB Mr. McBrlde, the art critic. He can't have been to the movies lately.

THE GERMAN SPIRIT ALLEGED NOW NOTO Mrs. Herman Hillyer last evening received the following interesting letter from her brother, J. E. John son, a former Marshfleld boy, who is serving as a mechanle in company K, 162nd infantry, says the Marsh field Times: . "The (deleter by censor) regl ment which was In the (deleted by censor) battle are : with us now, They say the German line Is easy to break through and the German Bplrlt Is broken. The Hun has about given up bopeB now and is anxious for peace. "The German prisoners are happy and contented, once they are captui ed. They would all come over and give themselves up It they were sure that they would be treated like they are. To keep them from deserting to the allies, the German officers have impressed on their minds vis Ions of barbarous and cruel treat ment of prisoners of war by the al lies, with execution after capture or food allowance compared to a peanut and glass of water twice weekly. "They are learning fast now that the alllcB are treating their prison era in a kind and humane manner. "Everyone here seems to expect peace In the spring and I hope it Is so." The censor Instead of trying to erace the number of the regiment and the name of the battle they were engaged in cut a piece out of th paper. . WHERlli HOOVEUIZING1 ECONOMY.
