erty Bond. Ask any bank for particulars.
O
IS IT PATRIOTIC TO PURCHASE LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS?
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.

A Statement to the Public.
Fighting Typhus in Serbia
When the typhus epidemic swept Serbia, Dr. Richard
P. 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

Syrian Relief. ' v:;';'''.
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.

country with all his heart,

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.
