A BADGE OF HONOR.
A liberty loan button Is a badge
or honor. 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. .
