Official estimate now makes | known the fact that Germany has thus far taken from the once fair Belgium one billion, six hundred mil- Hon dollars. That 1s, $1,600,000,000 cash money. What Germany has ‘taken in other ways will never be computed. The ruthless Hun has robbed ithe little rag dall of Europe of its very life-blood. The German hordes have raped women, broken up homes, destroyed the churches of God, enslaved men, killed little chil- dren, and broken the hearts of a struggling populace. The mailed fist and the iron boot have trampled upon all the tles that go to make life worth living in any place. The money Germany has taken—that is nothing. The other things she has taken from Belgium can never be replaced: but they are as a mote in the sunbeam when compared to what Germany would take from the United States if Germany is successful in this war. THE MIGHT OF AMERICA. Tomorrow, October 24, has been designated by the President of the United States as Liberty Day. This for the purpose -of awakening the American people to the full duty and responsibility which lie before them, to the end that they will unanimously offer financial support to the govern- ment through the purchase of the Second Liberty Laan. In his message to the people, tho President said: “The might of the United States is heing mobilized and organized to strike a niortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty.”” To realize the full might of the United States, the whole nation— men, women and children-——must get behind this Liberty Loan and push it to a grand conclusion. If the might of the United States were contained in any single. unit, there would be no need for a Liberty Day on which the people are asked to join forces and help the loan. If the might of the United States were the wealth Wwithin the various banks and financial institutions, the President need but address a form letter to every banker and broker in the coun- try and call for help. The might af the United States is somcthing more than the might tained any particular field deavor in the United States. Is great might among the moneved men.

Aside from the monetary value of the bonds, they are of two kinds: Registered bonds and coupon bonds. It is for the indl- vidual to determine just which kind of bonds to buy. The registered bonds will be recorded at the Treasury De- partment at Washington and checks for interest sent out to their owners every six months. There is no extra cost for registering the bonds. On top of this, it is the safer way as the bonds cannot then be permanently lost, the original ownership being always a matter of record. Then again there is no necessity of clipping coupons and carrying them to banks for the pur- pose of cashing. Coupon bonds have the advantage of being more readily offered for sale. They can be handed from one person to another. All these details and more will be gladly explained by any banker or broker now helping the Government in the sale of bonds. The first bonds sold were given out at the of 31-2 per cent. Those bonds can now be turned in for the bonds of the Sec- ond Liberty Loan and will be placed on basis,—4 per cent. So 1t will be with the bonds of this issue now before us. If sometime in the future the government issues bonds paying more than 4 per cent. bonds rate the same financial all owners of these new will have the privilege of exchanging their bonds for the ones carrying a higher rate. Tomorrow then is the time when the might of the United States can By purchasing bonds of the Second Liberty Loan each and every man and woman in the city of New Britain can show to the outside world just how strong this nation is. Further, each individual can lend a helping hand to the task of ending the war. Every bond bought helps to bring the end of the war that much nearer. The way to prolong the war is to pay no attention to the war. The way to let it drag out is to fall to do the duty which war demands. The might of the nation 1s no small thing; if properly thrown into the balance it will not take long to manifest itself. Let us then be up and doing. let us with united purpose show out antag- onists just how mighty is the might of the United States. best he shown. THE WAY TO GO.

Sea Manners our finest tlagship overtake the din- glest, most foul-smelling and unkempt steamer in a river or channel, and she signals by one or two blasts of her whistle, “I should like to pass you to starboard or to port.” If the lit- tle wretch prefers she may Vvery prop- erly answer by four short blasts which is to say, “kecp your shirt on, Old Top, and wait until a little further on!” Even more stringent is the consid- eration given weaklings and crip- ples. Compared to speedy steamcraft, sailing vessels are weaklings of the sea. Let the ranking Admiral of the Navy be speeding on vital national duty he will stop, back, or even an- chor, before he will interfere with the progress of any boat under sail. Seems strange that antiquated sail has the right of way over the most modern steam ship,—huckster wagons as it were crowding out and delaying the Steamers crivpled by tows, 10t easy {o maneuver on ac- count of the drag, are also made way for. Sailing ships are just as strict among themselves. Those having wind on the oort side stand clear of all having it to starboard. If two or more have wind on the same side that one which is eailing closest, i. e. with her sails so flat she could not easily change course, is regarded as having the right of way.
