The man who talks of peace today, except through victory, is a traitor." The enemy peace offensive is HEened to the action of German ma-hlne-gim crews in the Vesle fighting, when they fought and killed Ameri cans until they were surrounded, then shouted "Kamerad."-- The mothers of tho American sol diers in France want the same peace their sons demand. All the courage of the ancient Spartan mother is In the hearts of tho women of America. The object of the Fourth Liberty "Loan is to bring that peace a Just peace, a righteous peace, an Ameri can peace. ... There is no fathoming the German lino , of-, reasoning. .

Little Belgium is beginning to reap some reward for her unparalleled he rgltm of four years ago and her sublime fortitude ever since. The allies have started to drive the ruth less invaders from her domains for ever. ' ft begins to look as if the allies .will have plenty of Turkey for Thanksgiving. Not a very choice bird this year, but there's lot of it, and anyway its better than the crow Germany will have to eat. Recent victories of allies have been so decisive that even Germany's press '.reports tell the naked truth. It takes a lot of hammering to knock the truth from a Hun. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our thanks to our many friends and especially to ,tho Odd Fellows, Rebekahs, Knights "and L3dies of Security, Ladles of the G, A. R, and tho G. A. R.

MAKE DEEDS OF VALOR POSSIBLE You are the instruments chosen for a great work, and the time for service is here. The Government is asking you once more to bring out your hidden treas-1 ure the dollars you have been care-j fully putting away for some special need. fTe call for the Fourth Lib erty Loan has been sounded. Our country's challenge to our patriotism has been voked once more. Oregon wcraen have a rocord for loyal response to all of the previous' Loans. Theirs has been a generous . reply to the country'" war need. The dally lists of names of Amer ican boys who have given their all for their country have found Oregon's sons among the number. It is for such as those, and for the things for-j which they fought and fell, that the aid of the folks at home Is sought. Ours is a lesser part, but it is an es sential part. PATRIOTISM CHALLENGES The report of what women all over the United States did for the Third Liberty Loan Ms an inspiring page in the history of united war effort. From east to west, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico the story Is the same. Ev erywhere the women came forward, bringing their dollars for the Loan. What they will do in this Fourth Liberty Loan will be no less credit able. The tlmo for questioning, is past. The day of speculation is gone. Here and now, rrlth one aim and one purpose, you women of Oregon in line with your sisters from all over tho land, will march In the army behind the kbakl-clad boys over yonder, fur nishing the funds not alone for tho successful carrying on of tho war that we are pledged to do, but for the spee'dy completo defeat of the enemy. Money means power In this struggle between the right and wrong. Dollars spell success In the conillct for jJsht eousness.

Tho country hnd been twice devastated. First the Russian army swept through It nnd then tho Germans. Along tho rondsilde from Warsaw to PInsk, tho present firing line, 230 miles, nearly half a million pcoplo had died of hun ger nnd cold. The wny was strewn with their bones picked clean by tho crows.

Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 8,000, 000 tons a year in normal times. The United States Food Administration asks each family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month per person for household use. The military situation de mands that every available ship be placed at tho disposal of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, wo save shipping. Has Flnoer Cut Off.
