American Delegates in Parlt
Sent Victory Message
to Nation
Four members of the American peace
mission In France, Secretary of State
Robert Lansing, Col. E. M. House.
General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry
White, have sent this message to the
American people urging support of the
Victory Loan:
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
,rVe have had the opportunity here'
!n France to see and realixe the mas?, i
nituda of the accoiiipllstment of our
country In this war and the magnificent
spirit with which this preat task has,
been carried through to a triumphant:
Issue. ' .
"What has been done aud what re. I
mains to be done before normal con-1
dltions are restored demand your con- j
tinned and united support with the
same spirit of self sacrifice and of de-j
termination as that which was man!-;
fested by the nation while the German j
armies raced our men at the Marne. j
and in the Champagne, at St Mihiel
and in the Argonne. We must not re-.
lax our efforts until every soldier of
the repnblic Is landed on the soil of '
America. j
"To finish this mighty task Imposes
upon the government of the United l
States a great financial burden. The ;
Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. If j
it diould fail It would indicate that the
Nation is willing to leave its task tin-'
completed.
,-To secure the ideals - for which !
Americans fought and died this great
demand on national patriotism and j
united effort should meet a generous j
and universal response. Let ns do our !
duty to the end.

Corporal Storms Heights of
' Ourcq River With Rem-
'nants of Hb Platoon
"At the direction of the War Depart
ment General Pershing has forwarded
: from France accounts of 100 deeds of
heroism performed by soldiers of the
American 'orces, roost typical of the
plrit of our army. The story of Cor
poral Sidney Manning is one of con
spicuous gallantry.
Corporal Manning was In charge of
an automatic rifle squad when his bat-
i tallon assaulted the heights of the
Ourcq River. During the advance on
the hilt Manning's platoon commander
was killed, and just as the line reached
the crest of the bill the platoon ser
geant fell. i '
Corporal Manning then assumed
command of the platoon. Though he
himself was severely wounded and was
the only survivor of his squad, this sol
dier led forward the 35 remaining men
. of the platoon against an enemy
strong point, wired, entrenched and
defended by machine guns, which dom
inated the Ourcq valley. He was re
peatedly wounded but with seven men
took the position: While his men con
solidated the line he held off a consid
erable number of the enemy fifty yards
away with his rifle. When the posi
tion bad been consolidated be crawled
back to shelter, having received nine
wounds.
Backing up such examples of sacri
fice as this the government Is calling
oa the people to take the Victory Loan
to pay for the expenses of our war
time army,- . , .,,

Pens made of feathers were common
In the seventh century, but so Inveter
ate was the old habit of writing with
reeds on parchment and paper that It
continued a long time after the first
use of quills. The cuRtora of earry
, Ing a pen behind the ear Is ancient, as
may be seen in the life of St. Odu;
"He saw a pen sticking la his eur in
the manner of a writer."

"Until He Has
Given Everything
Guynemer, Prance's ace of aces,
who made the supreme sacrifice In
the last months of the war, said
many times before he died:
"No man has given anything
until he has given everything.
There la no limit to the duty
of a man when his country
needs him."
The spirit of France, typified by
this hero, was the marvel of the
world through four yars of war.
Americans, in honor to their dead
heroes who like Guynemer gave
everything, will not fail to put the
Victory Liberty Loan over the top.
CARDINAL GIBBONS
ASKS LOAN SUPPORT
Cardinal Gibbons, In appealing for
support of toe fifth Liberty Loan drive
and War Savings campaign, said In
part: 1 urge all our clergy to promote
this campaign by every means in their
power. I urge our good people to give
their heartiest support, and, from the
splendid evidences of their patriotism
shown in the past two years I am con
fident It will mec. with great success."
Acclimatizing Salmon.
The bureau of fisheries reports that
20,000,000 sockeye and I,3er.0OO hump
back salmon eggs bad been obtained
at the station at Yes bay. Alaska, from
August 29. when collections began, to
September 30. If the collections are
sufficiently large 1.000.000 humpback
eggs will be sent to the Maine stations
for the continuation of the acclimati
zation experiments undertaken several
years ago. Later In the year It Is
hoped to send a second consignment.
Idea for Liberty Monument .
A Washington man proposes that as
the United States was In the war 584
days, a Liberty monument to the mem
bers of our heroes be erected at the
capital, one foot In height for each
day. making it 584 feet high, with the
names of all w ho guve their lives en
graved on bronze tablets, to be placed
'n the interior of the monument.

'San Francisco Physician Lets
. Patients Pay Him in Bonds
Rather Than Cash at Par
This reads or tastes or looks like the
foam of a press agent's brew. But it
Isn't It actually happened although
It Is propaganda.
There Is a physician and surgeon of
high professional standing in San
Francisco who. If he wasn't Irish,
would be Scotch. He Is that canny.
The other day he met a friend of
his, a stock and bond expert. "Doc."
as his friends call him. Is always look.
Ing for information. He pumps every
body and they like him for It. So the
bond man wasn't a bit surprised when
"Doc" shot this at him:
"How about the next Liberty Loan
It it going to get over?"
"It sure will," replied the bondman.
"It's going to be the last arid the best
of the Liberty Loans." ,
"Advise me to load up?" persisted
VDoc."
"I sure dq best socurity In the
world year from now It will be worth
half again as much as you pay."
, "Well, I figured It out that way my
self," confessed the physician. "Of
course I was gphig to buy anyway, but
I think 111 strain everything a bit and
really load up."
"Suppose you've got previous is
sues?" asked the bondman.
; "Sure, and what's more I'm still pil
ing those Liberty bonds up. Every
time a patient offers them In payment
I grab them. They look good to me."
"You're a wise guy hang onto them,
Doc. I've got a few myself. Gotta
data with the wife so long." , ,
HALF BILLION SAVED
ON AIRCRAFT BILL
- Half a billion dollars wag saved by
,the War Department up to April 1st by
cancellation , ot aircraft , contracts.
These contracts, according to the gov
ernment statement, are only a small
part of the saving which has been made
by abandonment Of contracts for war
material.' In spite of these savings, the
statement adds, material costing mil
lions of dollars will have to be paid for
largely through money to be raised In
the Victory Loan, y ,t.
Shooting Into Space. "
:. The question of whether It. would
ever be posxible to shoot a projectile
Into space, that Is to say entirely off
the eurth, has long been the subject
of discussion. In o detailed scientific
paper on the German long-ranged gun
which bombarded Paris last spring.
Major J. Maitland-Addlson, writing In
the Journal of the Royal Artillery,
says the requisite velocity of sucb a
gun Is not so very much higher than
what has already been achieved ; viz.,
a muzzle velocity of a mile per second.
When we- are able to Increase this to
five miles per second, the projectile,
if fired at a suitable angle, will travel
around the earth as a grazing satellite,
completing Its orbit between 17 and 18
times dally. With a velocity of about
seven miles second, It will move of
Into space, never to return.

VICTORY LOAN TEST
OF PATRIOTISM Wood
Major General Leonard Wood, who
at Camp Funston trained two divi
sions of Americans for overseas
service, has asked the American
people to support the Fifth Loan.
He says: J
"We have carried the war on suc
cessfully so far and we must see It
through. The Fifth Loan, coming
as It does after the armistice, will
be a more severe test than the
others, of the patriotism of our
people. It Is Just as Important as
any loan we have made, and It
should be carried through just as
vigorously as the others. It Is no
time now to let up on our efforts.
Reorganization Is even more diffi
cult and almost as Important as the
period of preparation. Put It over,
and good luck. We must have It."
THE PEOPLE WILL PAY
Regardless of what our feelings may
be as to the manacmont of the war,
our honor as a nation Is pledged to
the payment of the bills for tho war.
No man who holds his own reputation
for business Integrity above reproach
doubts that. He would scrupulously
pay his own debts arid the debts of
his country are a very definite part
of his own obligations.
The government has contracted cer
tain debts. It has come to the people
for the money with which to satisfy
these obligations. Through statements
of Its highest officials It has repeat
edly made clear to all that It expects
to secure this money not from the
banks or the great financial Institu
tions, but through the whole hearted
support of the great majority of Its
citizens.
It will be a higher type of patriot
ism that will be called to the test
during the coming days than respond
ed to the former' appeals of the gov
ernment. Aside from a few technical
ities the war Is over. The fifth loan
will be raised without the spur ot hos
tilities because the American people
are capable of reaching greater
heights of patriotism thnn .they have
yet climbed.' , ,
