'if you saw some men nailing your own boy, or broth
er, or Father or little girl to the side of a building laugh
ing and glorying in the act . . ,
If you saw the most beautiful structure m this town
being torched and burned and a crowd dancing and yell
ing and, in drunken orgies, glad they did it-
If you knew that in that building, also, were those
whom you held dearer and nearer to you than your own
life and that there was no escape
If you knew that in five minutes a howling mob were
Eoing to drag your own wonderful Mother through the
streets of this town because she wanted to protect those
she loved most ,
If you knew that all labor and sacrifices and sutier
ings and costs of years and, years of the people of . this
town were but so much paper to be wiped out in pillage
and plunder over night . . .
If you knew mat au me oiu men aiiuwvurai
this town and countryside were within an hour to be cor
ralled, like cattle in a pen, and made to starve and die ,
If you knew that disease and filth and fire were to
be the lot accorded to you and all you love, for all you have
" done in this world without one word of protest being al
lowed to count ' . , ,
If you knew that hereafter life was to be looked at
as a thing cheaper, and to be scoffed at as less useful than
the most useless insect " ,v-VTr-'7j I' 7Zli
If you knew that hereafter nothing would be worth
while but lust and rapine and murder - . -:
Wouldn't you think it at least reasonable if you
couldn't give your very life to prevent these things to
give or LOAN all the money you had to make such things
no longer possible in the world wouldn't you?
Well, that is ALL that is being asked of you by your
government in this FOURTH LIBERTY LO AN-which is
to be the VICTORY loan ! Do you feel like hesitating?

: There are peace rumors in the air but the wise nation
will prosecute the war until arms are laid down and the
enem has surrendered. A mistake now might not lose
the war but it might cost many lives and much treasure.
Germany is in the throes of revolution. Her rulers
face inevitable defeat and are debating how to make a
change in government that will be acceptable to the al
lies. They are watching every move America, now the
most feared of their foes, is making. A sign of weak
nooo nr wv nf rWisinn hprf micht nrolone the war.
Bulgaria quitWhy? Because President Wilson
held congress back from a declaration of war and the
tVi.it. rnnntrv remained in Washington.
Every opportunity to see the tremendous scale upon which
this country was making war was given him and he was
convinced. In turn he .convinced his home government
that defeat was certain in the end. That America was
invincible. Bulgaria surrendered and opened wide to the
allies the back door of Germany. It was the beginning of
the end. '
The officials of the nation know the importance of
waging war to the limit. They are urging the people not
only to subscribe the liberty loan, but to over-subscribe.
Send the message to the wavering, tottering autocrats at
Berlin, and it will be worth a myriad of machine guns.
They will interpret it as a united country out to win at all
costs, just as Bulgaria did.
Salem, the capital of Oregon, is still short on her
quota and ought to make good. It should be a personal
matter with every good American, waging war mat per
manent peace may come. Thousands of Oregon boys are
nt the front it mav helrt to save many of their lives.
It will be our part in framing the message that will
bring cheer to our boys in the trenches and strike terror
King Albert is personally in command of the armies
that are sweeping the Germans out of Belgium, which is
fitting and proper. We have Jittle respect for the system
that tolerates kings and crowns in any way whatever, but
if we must have them the King Albert brand is about the
best we know of, since the Belgian king, like that of Eng
land, is more a figurehead than anything else, and not a
despotic ruler. Albert spent a good deal of time in this
country before he succeeded to the throne, and was a
likable fellow who might even have made good in this
country in competition with our American boys. Since
the war began he has shown sterling qualities and the

being a king is the result of the accident of birth and it is
not his fault altogether that he wears a crown.

From Getting Lonesome
l number of women interested in the J
welfare of toldiers . and especially j
those of the Students Army Training;
eorp of Willamette "University have j
started a movement by which they hope '
to make the life of the S. A. T- C.j
student much more cheerful than mere j
barrick life offers.
As a move in . this direction, they
will furnish the upper story of the.
Science building of the University inj
which the boys have their barrack and
make it as home-like as possible.
In order to do this it will be neces
sary to have a rug, some chairs, long
reading table and other furniture that
goes to mane up a x. m. u. a. nut siyie
of place. It is hoped by the women that
some people in the eity will be gen-1
erous enough to donate these, and in I

The Germans, seeing the day of accounting at hand
and having received President Wilson's opinion of their
manner of waging ruthless warfare, are said to have given
orders to commanders to distroy no more property in
northern France and Belgium, unless military necessities
require it. An example was given of the new order, when
the German commander at Lille, on evacuating the city,
pointed in the direction of the alliedT lines and told the
people to go out and meet their friends. Formerly they
carried the inhabitants, of the towns back with them to
become virtual slaves. The light is dawning in darkest
Prussia at last. . '

There is aiso need of newspapers and

a box will be placed at Stnte and Lib

In doing what they can for tlie young
students, all of whom are under ill
years of age, the object is to make life
more pleasant for them in various ways.
Ono of these will be in the giving of
wckly dances for -the boys who etnov

Some loyal woman from the south should teach us
how to make corn pone; the kind one pushes in his mouth
and bids farewell to grief and groan. All kinds of bread
are being made to take the place of wheaten loaves; in
ventive women are arrayed around the nation's cooking
stoves. I've eaten bread composed of rice, I've eaten bread
they made of bran, and some was punk and some was nice,
and some was but an also ran. I've eaten stuff they called
corn bread, the kind that helps to win the war; and it
outweighed a bar of lead, and tasted like exclsior. Down
in the south they make corn pone that soothes the soul,
it is so nice; a pampered monarch on his throne might
envy one who has a slice. If I had southern pone to eat,
I would not care a finetooth comb, if all the mills quit
grinding wheat until the speckled cbws come home. Anon
a northern woman cries. "I know just how that pone is
made; I ve been down south, and I ai wise to all the se
crets of the trade." And then she tries to show her skill,
and makes corn bread that I would like to , shovel into
Kaiser Bill until his works went on a strike, we can t
make none deserving fame, all honest northerners allow;
I wish some loyal southern dame would travel round and
show us how.

CIiAPTER LXI.
The day that Kuth had invited Mol
lie and Claude to dinner, found her al
most rt'xrottlng her impulsive invita
tion. ''Perhaps I inn doing . wrong in
throwing Itrian and Mollie King to
gether more than is necessary," she
thought as she hurried home to help
Crawford arrange the table. For, while
an excellent cook. Mrs. Crawford' ar
tistie education had been neglected;
and Ruth never failed to. give the
fmiithtiie touches to the table, even
when she and Brian dined alono.
She stopped at the florist's and
bought oiue sweet peas. She bought
extravagantly, as she always did when
purrhuii'hg f'owers. She passed the pale
pink and unite ones by, ana stueotod
the rose and violet colored ones, big
double blooms that gave character to
the room as soon as disposed in the
clever manner which eame to naturally
to Euth.
The Oinner was to be very simple.
Sonp, broiled chicken, a vegetable sal
ad end dessert.
"Jon't try to have anything very
lancy." Brian had said to-her.
'Those two Indians -on it in restaur
ants most of the time. Gioo them
tvd, plain dinner. Hume cooking will
'taste mighty good to them."
t?uth had sensibly followed his d-
ve. Frian csme in early nnd when
saw the table he whistled:
"Looks liko a banquet; ' 1
Aren't they lovelv! I just enuldnt
resiii them. But it will be no banquet
jnat the plain home dinner you wig
gcatett."
''Hope you've got enough! Beekly is
alwavj half starved.'
"Oh, I have plenty of everything."
The two guests arrived together.
Boekly was disposed to be facetious,
and eoniplained that Mollie was too
bashful to eonte alone, and that he had
to wait ten minutes whilo she powdered
her nose.
''It makes no difference,'! Buth said
quietly,- although she had been a bit
worried for fear her dinner would be
overdone. , - ,:
' 'Really, Mrs. Hackctt, it would have
been butter had he not stopped for me;
no one can do anything, when he is
around He chatters like a foolish mag
pie all the time." "
Why are yon two girls so formal"
the irrepressible Beckly asked, causing
them both to flush and look a bit fool
ish. ''As long as .Hackett calls you
Mollie,' I should think you would bo
Mollie' and 'liuth' to each other.'
"That's .so!" Brian broke in. "Why
doht you call each other something
beside 'Mrs..' and 'Misi'
''I should.be very pleased.' Euth
said, her color heightened, but looking
directly at Mollie.
"So should II ' Mollie answered, as
they seated themselves
"Bless you, my children! bless you!"
Beeklv said mockingly, his hands raised.
Oh how lovely!" MoUv" enthus
ed, looking daggers at. Claude. She was
fur from being stupid, and she sensed
that Kuth did not like such nonsense,
and also that ho wus not pleased to
be told what she should call people, or
to have them told how to address her.
"Anen't theyf" Euth replied, just
as Crawford brought in the soup, so
giving Clandc Beckly something to do.
The dinner passed otf gayly enough
although Kuth was all the time con
scious of a little restraint. Brian tried
to play the tactful host, and did noth
ing to cause Euth to regret she had
asKea Moitie.
With the coffee, Claude jBeckly's
faoetiousncss returned. Ho talked of
the dnv tliey met on the roof garden,
of Kuth's wonderful goodness to Brian.
''Instead of ragging him, as most
women would do, hore you invite Mol
lie to your home and feed her up with
the best dinner she bai had in manf
a day. Eomember, I asked you once
if there were any more at home like
yout' NoV, if there are, please recom
mend nre, won't youf I d get married
tomorrow if I could find a wife who
would let nie go on making love to
Mollie and mv other sweethearts''
"Silly!" Mollio exploded, 'If any
one took you seriously, you would have
been tarred and feathered long ago.
You deserve it, as it is."
''Cruel Mollie! does she talk like that
to yon Brian, when you are having
those tete-a-tete dinners m some swell
jointt"
"Of course not! Mollie discrimin
ates," Brian replied, but Kuth noticed
he looked annoyed. She would have
liked to have strangled Beckly. But
her unts training stood her in good
stead, and she rose smilingly and led
the way to the living room, where
Crawford had ' placed the table and
eards, They had decided to play bridge
tor an hour or so.
"Come, Ruth, we'll show Mollie and
Brian how to plav ards." Beeklv said
ag he picked up the cards to deal them.
Ruth made no reply, but Brian, glanc
