It has been the custom in the past to have an occasional address made in their own language to those among us whom we call “foreigners”, in the Interest of the Liberty Loan. When- ever these residents have been ap- pealed to in this manner, there has been a marked increase in their con- tributions. But, so far as we know, there effort made to have the methods and has been no special, particular objeets of the loans explained to this plass of people at regular intervals. Now, then, if a deal of good has been accomplished by an occasional appeal to them in their own tongue, why should we not have a regularly es- tablished corps of speakers who shall evote their efforts entirely and ex- lusively to that element not of na- tive extraction? If necessary, why may we not have a separate group of local speakers, conversant with one or more European languages, who shall, to a prescribed at regular intervals, according schedule, address our residents of Buropean extraction in their native language during the loan, just as the official four-minute speakers at our theaters address the audiences in English? Nearly every European element in this city has its hall or meeting place, and with of >wn he co-operation the respective clergymen of these various units, Liberty Loan rallies could be easily rranged and capable speakers pro- if would vided.

No one ever doubted our boys arrived in they would lose no time in proving their valor and their worth. We have been thrilled almost daily by accounts of personal daring and bravery, and among these courageous exploits that of our own Captain Griswold stands out conspicuously. Of all the evidences of American courage that have come to our tice, the following is by far the most temarkable and, at the same time, the most pathetic: On the train recently we met a school-day chum who is now serving as bugler on a transport. He said that on his last trip from France his ship had brought home eight Ameri- can soldiers, totally blind. Every | one of the eight had lost the sight of both eyes in battle, and all were re- turning to this country under hon- Were they down- and despondent?

The loans to the allied gov- crnment are represented by obligations of great nations, who in time, will repay them. Out of the $30,000,000 of appropriations made by the Con- gress for .the fiscal year 1919, it is probable that $8,000,000,000 to $9,- 000,000,000 will represent loans . to the allied governments and expendi- tures for ships, shipyards, docks, wharves and other facilities which will be salvaged to the American peovle.
