S. The government of the United States asks every American citizen to subscribe for Third Liberty Loan bonds. The money is merely loaned to the government and will be used to free the| United States and the rest of the world from the| grasping greed of the German imperial govern-| ment. Every dollar loaned to the government will be repaid with interest! So much for what you can do for Uncle Sam} now. If you do not lend of your money and this war is lost, this will happen to you: “Notice to the People. “A fine of 650,000 francs (about $130,000) is imposed upon the commune of Luneville (a French village at that time in the hands of the German conquerors). The mayor is ordered to pay this sum in gold or silver up to 50,000 francs Sept. 6, 1914, at 9 o’clock in the morning, to the represen- tative of the German military authority. All pro- tests will be null and void. No delay will be granted. “If the commune does not punctually obey the order to pay the sum of 650,000 francs, all prop- erty that can be levied upon will be seized. “In case of non-payment, visits from house to house will be made and all the inhabitants will be searched. If anyone knowingly has concealed money or has attempted to hold back his goods from the seizure by the military authorities or if anyone attempts to leave the city, he will be shot. “Henamenil, Sept. 3, 1914. “The General in Chief, “VON FASBENDER.” That’s how the kaiser collects from a conquered people. And are you laboring under the delusion that the warlords of Germany do not -hope to conquer and oppress the people of the United States? » If you so believe, read these words from the pens and mouths of the kaiser’s band of military slave-|. masters: a “The most dangerous foe of Germany: in this generation will prove to.be-the United States.”— Dr. Otto'Hotsch in the Alldeutsche Blatter. “As a matter of fact Germany is the only great power which is in a position to conquer the United States.”—Freiherr Von Edelsheim. “The American people will be conquered by the victorious German spirit, so that it will represent an enormous German empire.”—Robert Thiem inj incidents which are liable to happen, in spite of the Alldeutsche Blatter. “It is the duty of everyone to see that the! future language spoken in American shall be Ger- man.”—Hubbe-Schleiden. “The Germans seem marked by their talents and by their achievements to be the teachers and the intellectual, economic and political leaders of the American peoples.”’—Professor Johannes Unold. “Not only North America, but the whole of America must become the bulwark of Germanic to plume themselves on their fortunate immunity | kultur, per‘iaps the strongest fortress of the Ger- manic kultur, werhaps the strongest fortress of} the Germanic races.” —Klaus Wagner. “Some months after we fimsh our work inj flect upon the moral of the enemy’s night attacks Europe we will take New York and probably Wash- ington and hold them for some time. We pro- pose to take a billion or more dollars from New York and other places.”—Count Von Goetzen, German military attache and personal friend of the kaiser. “America had better look out after this war.” —Wilhelm Hohenzollern, despot of the Teutonic peoples. “We are keeping books on you Americans. It’s a long account and we haven’t missed any details. Rest assured that that account will be presented to you some day for settlement.”— Major Liebster to American Consul A. Curtis Roth. Now, can any American have any further doubt as to the kaiser’s designs, or to the methods of collection he employs? Having thus proved beyond the possibility of a doubt that the kaiser is bent upon the conquest of America if he can achieve it, and that he col- lects the last cent of tribute at the point of the bayonet, is there one single reason why any Ameri- should not offer to loan his dollars to Uncle Sam? If we Americans refuse to loan our dollars to our own government now, you can rest assured that we will. give them to the kaiser, if our boys over there are defeated. And defeated they will be if they are not backed up by our money and the food, ammunition, ships and service our dollars will buy. It’s all very simple. You lend today, or you pay tomorrow—pay : Wilhelm Hohenzollern, the enslayer of free nations and free peoples. Buy your bond, and another if you can, and still another, if you are able, even though you Thust-gave mae ee Pe foul do more n “save and sacrifice” if the kaiser wins.

Possibly there isn’t full appreciation by Europe of America’s spirit in this war. America is not in this war for glory or profit’s sake. America’s spirit was demonstrated, clearly and pointedly, by “Black Jack” Pershing, when he did the biggest thing in all his career in offering himself and his men for any purpose, anywhere, whenever needed. America is not in it for Ameri- ca’s success but for civilization’s triumph and preservation. Along her entire front there is no point at which Germany can hope that jealousy and false pride create a weakness. | If conceited German autocracy never appre- ciated our seriousness, it ought to now. What we've offered may be only a drop in the bucket, but it’s there and it was all that was available. And we're going to fill the bucket! Senator Sherman sarcastically observes that} ton to stimulate food conservation. Yes indeed, and then, too, it would do the senate good to take a look at honest pork occasionally. | | “I did considerable bragging last summer be- cause I could raise radishes and onions on my |backyard after buying $30 worth of topsoil and $5 “But my vanity has gone since I found the Italian who spaded my garden can raise both on an asphalt pavement.” WITH THE EDITORS | “YOU MILLIONS SAFE AT HOME” (From a Man in Uniform to Those of Us Who Are Not) They say, who have come back from Over There, that at night the troubled earth between the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whistling in every wind, and that the very mists are charged with torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there young human life is held least dear. It is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of our mother’s good-bye kiss. But, please God, our love of life is not so prized as love of right. In this renaissance of our country’s valor, we who will edge the wedge of her assault make calm ac- ceptance of its hazards. For us, the steel swept trench, the stiffening cold—weari- ness, hardship, worse. For you, for whom we go, you millions safe at home—what for you? We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never-ending.. From you, who are.our re- source and.reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity for which we smite and strive, must come these things.— (Citi- zen Soldier No. 258).—The Nation’s Busi- ness. THE GROWTH OF AIR WARFARE This country—and particularly London, which has learnt to know what air raids now mean—will give full sympathy to Paris for the heavy price that was exacted by German airmen on Monday night. The casualties actually caused by the bombs were not so heavy, as a matter of fact, as those in the raid on the night of January 31. But | they were greatly increased by one of those tragic every precaution, when human beings are sub- jected to a sudden and heavy strain. The accounts that we have as yet of this calamity are meagre, but it is clear enough that there was a panic at the entrance to one of the refugees in the Metropolitan Railway, and that this cost sixty-six lives, mostly those of women and children. These deaths far outnumbered those which the enemy raiders were able to cause—a fact that the people of London may take to heart while abjuring any temptation | | hitherto from deadly crowd-terrors of this kind— a fact to be thankful for, but eminently risky to boast about. It is much more to the point to re- on allied capitals and large towns during the pres- ent moonless jeriod. London was visited on Thursday night; Paris on Friday and Monday; Naples—whether by seaplane or airship seems still uncertain—on Sunday. All these attacks show that darkness is no, longer any real protection against raiding aircraft, as our own airmen, in- deed, had proved long before, by bombing opera- tions on dark nights far behind the German lines. It is sufficiently obvious, we think, that the enemy intends to make a dead set at allied capitals on every night, dark or moonlit, when the weather favors him; and the experience of Naples on Sun- day night suggests that Rome, too, is within his effective range. : What the German is doing under the shield of night to London, Paris, and Naples, that British jairmen are doing in broad daylight to German towns. On Saturday Mainz was raided ; on Sunday Stuttgart; and yesterday Coblenz. Coblenz is the farthest north that the British raiding squadrons have gone in Germany. They are ‘getting near Cologne. It is like the German to give out that the raids on Paris are by way of reprisal for the raiding exploits of British airmen—one of his childish expedients for sowing dissension between the allies. We can well imagine the scorn of our French allies at .this typically German blunder in yielding to the temptation to make much of enemy attacks upon the civilian populations at the ex- pense of our understanding of the important devel-| opments in air warfare on the fighting fronts. The first favorable days of an unusually clement spting| have filled the air with swarms of fighting air- craft, to say nothing of bombing machines and those which are used ‘for the more pfosaic art of military photography. These first large-scale en- counters of the year have justified fully Mr. Bonar Law’s contention the other day that the British at ' 3 | * MANDAN NEWS. | %. % YOUNGSTER HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING Plunged Into Fifteen Feet of Water When Father's Motorcycle Skids Frederick, three-year-old son of ‘| Mr. and.

The total colections for March, State Auditor Kositzky reports were $1,556,857.44, somewhat ‘below those for ‘March 1917, when $1,615,- year ago. In- 1917 a total state tax for March, 1918, however totalled $569,510.0., as again. t 9021,857.75 a year ago. In 191 a7 total state tax of $11,670,172.64 was: levied, and with January collections more than one- third of this amount already is in, a condition‘ of affairs which must be considered very favorable in the light of 1917 ‘crop failures. in many: parts of the state. ‘One of the big items in March col- lections was $131,436.89 from the reg- istration of motor‘vehicles, as compar- ed, with $14,908.27 in 1917, In 1917, automobiles were subject to a general property tax in addition to a flat reg- istration fee of $3. This year the reg- istration fee. is much higher, while motor vehicles are exempt from other taxation. Insurance fees for March, 1918, were $165,235.67, .as compared with $135,261.92 in 1917.
