It s all well and good for Berlin to that the evacuation of the St had been underway for forces in their new £ald about the retreat further west to the Hindenburg line. There 1s no doubt about the fact that the Ger- mans have gone back but the very fact that resistance was encountered. large numbers of Ay prisoners captured, nothing of matertal and guns, t evident that they weie made wonld ilke that it is g erritory which aciously for four r to minimize the opera- American forces.

Attention is now directad in tiens of the country to the floating of the fourth Liberty loan, which will sall for the largest amount vet sought and will at least be equal to the com- bined total ked for In the first and tecond appea’ In comnection therewith there is also underway one of tha largest reve- nue bills which congress has been asked to act upon. It is expected to secure over $8,000,000,000 revenue ‘n all sec this manner and according to the plans made the new taxes and the fates of taxation will be largely In- sreased. Taking these ngs jnto sonsideration it is perfectly apparent hat those who invest large sumg in the Liberty loan, and great dependence must be paid upon the large subscrib- ms this time as on previous occa- #lons, will under the idea of the reve- ate bili be called upon to pay a much | same time to the effect | its people, | there is o demand for immedinte leg {lation which will deal effectuali: in calling [t { then it | nseless for a fellow to tell Uncle Sam| | that he can take all he has, and then | | kiek over surtaxes. greater tax to the government regard- less of the fact that their participa- tion in the loan is expected to be greater. Understanding that this is likely to have an undesirable effect upon the loan, Secretary of the Treasury Mc- Adoo s asking immediate action by congress, so that it can be settled be- for the iean subscriptions are sought, whereby the holders of Liberty bonds in the new loan will not be subject to surtaxes thereon up to 33,000, and that holders of the second and third issues up to a total of $45,000 will re- ceive the same exemption. It is an effort to stimulate Liberty bond investments which the sccretary considers necessary, and which bank- ing interests endorse, and it appears to be entitled to careful consideration and early action. THE BLAMELESS KAISER. There is nothing surprising about the fact that the kaiser felt it neces- sary to make a visit to the great mu- nition factcry of the Krupps and ob- tain a pledge from the men and wo- men employed there that they wouid stick to the end. He agdmits, that it is his first visit to the plant during the war and it is evident that he con- sidered it necessary to make a test of the loyalty of those upon whom great dependence rests in providing munitions for the continwance of the ctruggle. It is interesting to note how he an- swers his own questions when he asks “Who spoks at the very heginning of the war about Starving oui the Ger- man women and children?” and “Whn was it who introduced terrible hatred nto this war? Germany of course is given a clean bill of health ard the re- eponsibility is placed, as has been characteristic of the Germans, upon enemy. It is right in line with the statement which he made at the that he had “ieft no stone unturned to shorten the war as far as possible_for vour,people and for the entire civilized world.” This great effort was made, it is to be presumed hy his insistence in the first place that there could be na peaceful adjustment of the frouble between Austria and Serbia, and iater by the disregard for the neutrality of elgium, by the ripping up of that country, the killing and enslaving of the launching of air raids vpon unfortified places, the sacking of nking of the Lusitan| the use of poison gas, the starting of unrestricted submarine warfare, the| hombhing of hospitals and the disregard for humanity in genera The kaiser's statement: lieved by the German peo will be auickly refuted by the worid mar be be- e hut the the rest of A REGRETTABLE CONDITION.

With a threatened shortage of zas- olene it is difficult to understand how it is going to be possible to fix a price lower than that prevailing. In its firet drive by itself the Amer- {ican army has certainly dented the enemy line badly and at the same time greatly strengthened its reputa- tion. The success of the Americans to the east of St. Mihiel i no surprise. They tave distinguished themselves wherever they have been placed and will continue to do so. The Germans promise tuey wlil not let the Finns attack the soviets if 'heii"" both by day and by wights are paid a billion dollars. Such promise to pay, howaver, looks now as if it might become a scrap of pa- per. German falsifications in connection with sinkings by U-boats have been 80 notorious that Spain should take no #tock in the claim now being made that England was responsible for the sinking of the Spanish ships.

THE MAN WHO TALKS Heart is made much o in the Serip- | ture, and brain doeswt figure much. Why? Because heart is warm like summer weather and brain coid like ice. The heart feels and is the seat of the emotions, and the brain calcu- lates and is the Kingdom of selfish- ness. When a man's heart is in| any cause he stands for it at any sac- rifice; but when his brain directs his ction 'he is pretty sure to ask: “What is these in it for me?" The heart of a pood man has been called “the ' sanctuary of God.” Intellect spreads light like the sun when the heart is right. The heart that is.not illuminated by spirituality and warm- ed by devotion is either worthless or wicked. The heart gives color to our conduct and puts upon our faces the trade-mark either of goodness or sin. . The starlings are holding their Sep- tember conferences preparatory to spreading over the country for new feeding grounds. They have the crows' habit of getting together, and meet at a set hour for a week or ten days. They reach the conference tree in smail groups with the regularity of | humans_attending a meeting, and their tittered discord reminds one of the biXzing of a. swarm of bees, How these birds have multiplied and | spread since they were introduced from | England 30 years ago. While the star- ling is new fo America there are about forty varieties in Burope—birds of fine plumage and sweet songs. Thev haunt the neighborhood in which these conventions are held for the en- tire time of meeting, although they must fly many miles away to feed; but they are punctual in arriving at the meeting place before the pro- cecdings commence.
