The tie that binds the allies is exactly the same as that which huddles together the central powers. Self-preservation. But what united each array of nations was de- cidedly something else. On the side of the HUNS, a dominant few aim- ed to gulp down all the remaining power on this terraqueous sphere, which we'd daily tread in dread if they did. However, the morsel not only has proved un- pleasant to the Prussian palate but it’s stuck in kultur’s gluttonous throat and is slowly choking the monster to death. The bond that grappled together the allies and in which they’ve since grappled together with the Menace—was the Liberty Bond. The Liberty Bond of our allegiance across seas will do it—but, not without the Liberty Bond at home. The Fourth Liberty Bond issue will soon be launched. Every Liberty Bond bought increases its holder’s share in that corporation called the United States government, to the full face value of the ‘bond. Every Liberty Bond at 4 1-2 per cent strength- ens the Liberty Bond which united us with Eng- land, France, Belgium and Italy. : Be prepared to SAVE MONEY in a LIBERTY BOND of the fourth-issue. Every bond bought will decrease the power of the Prussian despots and increase the size of the morsel that’s choking the monster of kultur—the morsel which represents power NOT the HUNS’ power that belongs to the FREE, power that will grow and unite ALL through the LIBERTY BOND of nations with the help of the LIBERTY BOND of dollars that YOU buy! Australia is bringing home for recruiting duty all her soldiers who won the Victoria Cross. Not; we presume, because recruiting there is classed as “hazardous service” but for the influence of example, z GO AFTER ’EM. The treasury department wants congress to give it a sufficiently large appropriation that it may dig up a billion or more of dollars wrongfully de- tained by tax-dodging slackers. An adequate corps of tax ferrets, the department asserts, could un- earth hundreds of millions of dollars. * lready is the government and volunteer or- ganizations of citizen-patriots engaged in the busi- ness of running down slackers who should be in the army service, deserters, evaders and “consci- entious objectors.” There should be displayed the same loyal eagerness to run down the dollar slack- er—the man, usually rich, who evades a portion or all of the duty his country has assigned him. It is a crying shame that in this hour of the nation’s greatest need, when congress is now even considering the taxing of working people’s jobs, and so many of the things they must buy, that one- eighth of all the money the government hopes to raise by federal taxation this year is lost because of these dollar slackers! There’s no excuse for it. Congress must put it within the treasury’s power to hunt down these tax dodgers wherever they can be found. The fear of God must be put into their hearts, and if it cannot be done any other way—why, there are federal prisons and internment camps. “The treasury department needs expert ac- countants and other special investigators to go over the books of corporations and individuals sus- pected of having made ‘doctored’ returns of profits during the last year,” That’s what the department says. Congress cannot refuse to let loose the ferrets. The people—the honest, patriotic, loyal Ameri- cans—are in this war in deadly earnest. Nothing is as important to them as the winning “over there.” They are willing to dig down deep and often to pay for the victories our boys will achieve in béttle with the Huns. They are just as willing to piy as teh age Wine ES Beigpitcolhes S| It isn’t right and it isn’t the icy: to ask 30 much of the loyal Americans while we cover our eyesito the duty-dodging of certain rich. And j BISMARCK’ DAILY TRIBUNE taxes as it is for the young man of draft age to register and serve if his government calls him. What do you say, congress? Are you going to try to save the miserable hides of these tax dodgers? Or are you coming out strong and solid in support of the United States treasury in hunt- ing and punishing dollar dodgers? Clearly, it is up to congress! NO LET UP. Now is just the wrong time for any real Ameri- can to stop doing all he can toward making the al- lied war against autocracy and HUN kultur a huge success and complete clean-up. ‘ Optimism reigns supreme at the present writing on the allied side. General Disaster has taken charge of the fleeing HUNS. The Yanks, the Tommies and the French have been dealing the REAL wallop to the kaiser’s army, but— The World War is still on! The French and Belgian soil remains in the hands of the HUNS, and until the watchword, “On to Berlin” becomes a reality, there should be no let-up in the helping spirit of those who are back home in America. Shocking parties have failed to report any ap- 50! preciable number of league organizers in the fields assisting the farmers. Mr. Townley should press his “Tin Lizzies” and his field men into the volunteer field corps at once. Why overlook such a chance for publicity. ¥ But probably the organizers do not like this kind of a harvest. eal Of course it should make no difference to Town- ley that the Red Cross and not the league treasury will be enriched by their evening’s toil. The HUN fleet :plus the stolen Russian navy will still continue minus victory. Meat and wheat we didn’t eat are in part re- sponsible for the Germans’ retreat. Thrift stamps are good “buys” for Americans and goodbyes to HUN victory dreams. There will never be lasting peace while the HUN is permitted that bulge in-his pistol pocket. Why should the Germans who'll swallow a kais- er choke on a little thing like Von Hintz? ' Holland, better than any other. nation, knows how it feels to stand between the “devil and the deep blue sea.” These are the days of tough sledding for’con- gressmen who guessed-wrong last year on Amer- ican sentiment. Evidently the kaiser was able to do a lot of talk- sing while Dr. Davis was plugging his teeth. That’s dental efficiency, all right. And one may save food by. eating more of that hardest to keep, and less of that which may bé stored away for a winter day. An automobile fender has been patented to brush aside obstructions. No more’ changing gears for unwary ‘pedestrains! Four million Yanks in France cannot lick the HUNS unless we, to a man, woman and child, back the Yanks, morning, noon and night.’ ~ While on their summer vacation the tory ma- jority of the Supreme Court might profitably study up on the child labor problem. a Alcohol, ether and wax are derivatives of sugar mill waste. The by-products seem to be more plentiful than the by-product itself. ‘ And now they’re going to confiscate the clothing of the German people. One more step backward toward the kultur of naked barbarism. Germany will come to a better understanding of what it means to bring war to the world AFTER the west front is shoved across the Rhine. In view of the conviction of the I. W. W. at Chicago recently, it is hardly to be expected that Governor Frazier will duplicate his proclamation of a year ago. Uncle Sam will afford the neces- sary protection this fall. | WITH THE EDITORS “NOT ESSENTIAL” Some time ago when “Billy” Sunday expressed a desire to go to France, the authorities ruled that his presence at the front was not essential to the successful conduct of military operations. Now the War Industriés Board at Washington has ruled that “Billy”.is not an essential war industry, and has refused to grant priority to the lumber necessary for building a contemplated Sunday tabernacle at Providence. At first sight this would be rather unwise and ungracious treatment of a potential force for winning the war. The evan- gelist’s loyalty was demonstrated during his late stay in New York city, and in the whipping up of war spirit he coudl probably make as good‘a show- ing as Mr. Creel. Perhaps the Government felt behind, the lines in industry at home might profit if audiences gath- ered in the munition ories and Bad ros that hi 3 met! wa Figo of et >. id pr tired meh just back from the treriches, and hath war|™ NN 6.

' Winnipeg, Man., Aug. - 22—The sound of the hammer is no more heard in Canada. In its place has come the rattle of the steel riveter on ships being constructed in: her many har- bors. Homes are not being built. The people are fighting to retain those they have. The young men who are the home buillers are in ‘France. Mar- irage licenses have depreciated 30 per cent. Canada is no place for an old maid but an attractive American of reason- able age would have little competi- tion and a fair field. So paralyzed has ordinary building become that one can ridé for miles in the rich timbér districts and see huge dilapidated shingle mills and rusting equipment. Whole towns are deserted. Railroad and road building machinery rusts by the wayside. Canada is just as much at war as France, as England, as Belgium. The people have looked war in the face and know its realities. There is no cheering or hurrahing when the sol- diers ‘march away. | The spirit of “Trust in God and Givé ’Em #lell, Boys,” is in every face. There’s no rest for a “Weary Wil- lie” in the Dominion. Under a Domin- ion anti-loafing law, every able-bodied man must work. Special anti-vag- rancy plain clothes men are every- where, and everyone suspected of idle- ness is put at some government task. Labor conditions are in a chaotic state. Civic employes in Vancouver and Winnipeg departments of city gov- ernment have walked out, and those of Victoria are threatening to go. The underlying reason is said to be that wages and working conditions have not improved 'to keep pace with those in private corporations. Winnipeg is a war-worn city. Regi- ments have gone forth from which only ‘corporals’ guards hve returned. The Strathcona Horse, made up of young'men of the best families of the city, has only 130 left of a full regi- ment, which bore the brunt of the last Geman drive. Despite all these heavy losses, you rarely see a Canadian woman in mourning. Only the little black band around the arm shows that. somewhere in France,.a brother, husband. father or sweetheart is lying. And these ‘bands are tragically plentiful. In this time of trial, the people look to America With hope and assurance. BUY W. 8. 8 ey if HONOR ROLL John Ward is a colored man who has lived some 62 years at Golds- boro, N. C.
