The hour has struck when this call is ringing clear and loud above all others in the ears of the American people. Every city, every town, every hamlet and every community in the land has given of its best be- loved blood to swell the expeditionary forces on the battle fields of France. These men have gone to fight OUR battles. They have offered their all ip OUR service. The blood tie holds them firmly to the task which they are dedicated to. We have the word of the commanders that their sac- tifice is complete—that the blood loyalty is perfect. But is theirs to be the only demonstration of the power of blood loy- alty? What man worthy the name, if he has a friend fighting his battles, will not back him up and support him to the limit of his power? 1Is the aacrifice to be out of all proportion to the gratitude of the beneficiary? These thousands, these hundreds of thousands, who have gone, are gaing, and who are yet to go—flesh of our flesh and blood of our hblood— are appealing to us through every affection of the human heart for SUP- PORT, for SUSTENANCE, for CO-OPERATION, for POWER. These ‘WE must furnish or their sacrifice will have been in vain. But we Americans need to be told that the very essence of blood loy- alty 18 SACRIFICE. Not only a professional willingness to sacrifice *‘if necessary,” but real sacrifice—the total subordinating of our interesta to theirs. ' Coming down to grim realities, the success or failure of our sons #sover. yonder”” will depend on whether or not we at home will sacrifice to the tune of twenty billions of dollars yearly. There is absolutely no other way. This is the amount that Congress has allotted to the task, and it must ALL come from the people, and that over and above their.own neces- sary expenditures. Armies are not fed and clothed and armed and equip- ped ‘with ammunition simply by proclamation or by “appropriations.’” These can only authorize the necessary expenditures, the concrete sup- plies must come from OUR labors and OUR savings and OUR sacrifices. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends of our soldier boys, are we heeding the blood call? Are we not only “willing,” but DO we respond with every throb of our heart’s blood to efery call? Or are we *by. our lethargy and indifference and selfishness manufnctur?ng German bullets for their breasts for—get it right—that is the inevitable result if we fail in our response to the call.

G At the Hotel Markham election night there was a large gathering of kindred spirits and election returns being received. Some shining light “framed it” up with a colored porter and as the returns kept coming in ‘the porter gravely mounted a chair and called out ‘‘Mr. Beaver and Mr. Denu! Mr. Beaver and Mr. Denu! Train going south on the M. & L.” And when we heard the story we enjoyed it hugely and have had sev- eral hearty laughs. e Kbl NOW FOR PENSION RELIEF The Senate Committee on Pensions finally has been aroused to ac- tion, after having its work postponed during the entire session by the dll- ness and death of its chairman, and the continued sickness of the Demo- crat next in rank. The third man in line for the leadership of the com- mittee has now ‘taken hold and reported two omnibus pension bills con- taining relief for 225 soldiers and widows. It is hoped that there will be no further delay in the Senate in the matter of pension legislation, and that such bills in the upper body hereafter will keep pace with similar measures in the House of Representatives. — e The American flag is at half mast for the brave boys who went down with the Tuscania, But American anger is at white heat and American courage at one hundred per cent efficiency, and when the day of reckon- ing comes the full price will be exacted. : —_—— Henry Ford is reported to have designed a machine for use against the U-boat. Some time ago he designed a machine that has overcome al- jmost everything else but a U-boat, and why not that? Bl h The man with the hoe is a back number. It’s the man with the trac- tor and gang plow that this country is encouraging right now. —_——— The senator from Wisconsin now has leisure to ponder on the pathos ot that old song, “There’s a Name That’s Never Spoken.” ik U, o The kaiser is apprehensive that Austria will acquire the Hohenzollern view .of treaties—‘scraps of paper.” TO EXCHANGE—New Lyon Healy piano with bench for used household goods.
