Yes; every American who subscribes to the justice of the course of the United States in entering and conducting the war we are now engaged in should subscribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue to the extent of his or her finan cial ability. Every American who subscribes to the belief that an American should stand by his or her country should sub scribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue. Every American who loves America and is jealous of America's honor should subscribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue. The real success of the loan is to be more determined by the number of Americans participating in it tWan by the amount subscribed. The spirit of the Na tion is going to be judged abroad, especially by our en emies, more by the number of its American men and wom en who support this bond issue than by the mere amount of money subscribed.

Strong headed a. sanitary expedition to that stricken nation. The success of the expedition, fighting against desperate odds, is a bright page in the history of this war. The expedition was financed jointly by tlie Red Cross and' the Rockefeller Foundation. The approximate cost of this expedition was 180.000. Until Ronniania entered the war, Red Cross agents were able to ship largo quantities of food supplies 'across the Roumanian border by way of Hungary to Belgrade. At me ena or August, ;ilW car-loads had been delivered to feed starving both in Serbia's capital and in the interior. Other supplies were sent into Serbia from the United States and (Switzerland. The approximate cost of this relief was $120,000. Jed Cross representatives are now in Greece, with emergency relief funds for use in southern Serbia. A Support The Government! At this critical period in our history our manufacturers are offering their mills, and our young men are offering their services Government. to the United States Do your bit by subscribing to the Liberty Loan.

From Syria comes news iof terrible suffering and star vation, the effects of the var being accentuated by a plague of locusts. In conjunction with, the Armenian and Syrian Relief Committee, a cargo of food, clothing 'and medical supplies has been started to Beirut,' where it will be distributed under the cooperative efforts of the' Red Cross Chapter in Beirut and the Turkish Red Crescent. . In Egypt. For many months a Red Cross Committee has provided relief for 5,000 refugees brought from Armenia to Egypt. Prisoners in Russia. Far in the interior of Siberia are thousands of prisoners of war and interned civilians. Working .through Vladi vostok, Tientsin, and Peking, American Red Cross repre sentatives, in spite of the great distance, bitter cold, and hardships of travel, have accomplished much in helping these unfortunates.

SUNDAY, JUNE 3 (.From his speech at Mineolo, Now York, on Decoration Day.) Do not think in terms of self-sacrificing, but in terms of service. I do not pity a man who has a chance to risk his hie for his country; I envy him. There must be absolute and undivided lovalty to our flag. Tho events of the past two vears have shown that no man can be any more loyal to 'two flags than to two wives. Any man who is not a good husband is not a good citizen. A man must be loyal to his wife and to his country. Now that Germany stands us the most efficient military autoc racy that the world lias ever seen, no man is :i vanA Amm-i. can who does not stand against Germany and for this country with all his heart, T believe in suffraire. hut not for snffr nfTO frtv nnv vnmnn shirking her duty, and I will work for 'the disfranchise ment ol: any man or woman who doesn't work in peace or in war in any chance of service the government mav do- 111. -1 nd V !,,. ... ,. , , . caae ineatre, louowing urai, vil i-uiiiM-, in couscieiu ions oojecuon to Ilgllt- ture ing. i do not ask any man to violate his conscience, but T will not stand for him violating mine, either. If anv man is too conscientious to fight, he ought to take his onscience out and look at it, for it is certainly sick. Tho first duty of a man is to bo a man's man. not inst a sexless creature who wants somebody to fight for him. Tho Liberty Bonds will be safe unless Uncle Sam smashes up. and if the United States smashes up we will be smashed up and it won't make anv difference.
