The announcement by Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department to the effect that the teurth Liberty loan is to be for a al of six Liilion do!- lars, that the issue is to run for a period of 20 years at four and a quar- er per cent, the maturity date be- ing Oetober 15, 1938, clears up the re- mainng details in regard to the com- ing bond issue. The machinery of tre| government is now theroug: organ- | zed and it simply remains for each and every individual to take off coat and give the greatest of all nancial undertakings fi- the hoost which ie required. The period for raisinz the loan, which is twicg 2s large as anv pre- vieus issue of bonds and taree-fourths as large as the entire am caf for in the three previous is limited to three weeks, but it hasg been known for a long oming apd the intimation has Vern that the amount fixed would be the ameunt asked for. As was co clearly Secretary MecAdoo address this money on the war. We ve entered the fight and it is pecessary that it should be vigorously pushed to.just as early # comelusion as possible. Therefore it is necessary to have the funds, for np war™ean he fousht without the propir financial backing. The loan is therefore of the deepest time that it wae pointed out by in his New York is needed to carry concern to every individnal. It is noL semething which ecan (v should be left to the other fellow. Everyone must do his part, remembering all the time of course that guch ontributions as are made are not gifts, invost- ments backed up by the soundest pos- sible security that could he gptained We must push the loan over the top and the ball must be started roiling early IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP ADVANCE, In spite of the fact that the allied armies have been engaged in hard fighting fég the past two inorths, dur- ing which time they have covered much ground and been forced to take care of the large task of moving for- ward supplies and big guns, there is no ipdication of any let uy in thelr activities. All along the line from Belglum to Switzerland the allied forces are on their tiptoes poised for j discontented stronger and more telling blows, and from Albania to Bulgaria, in Pales- tine and in Russia they inflicting losses on the enemy which are not only bringing back inte allied controi the territory which was taken in the drives of the central powers but there {s being taken much Turk- ish territory apd invariably in each instance wherever there is a test of arms Wwith the bolsheviki the allied forces are victorious, Thus progress which must be re- garded as highly satisfactory is heing made by the armies under the direc- tion of General Foch. It appears to be oniy a question of time before St. Quentin and possibly Cambrai in the Hindenburg line must fall before the hard and persistent pressure which the British and French are bringing to bear upon them. Slowly are these points, especlally, the formse, oeing enveloped and when St. Quentin is talen if wili mean that another re- treat aver a wide section of the Ger- man frent must be imade for the allles will then be in a much more favor- able positien for striking at Lacn n.ndi pressing o to Cambrai from the goyth. The Teutonic high commana is doing its utmost to bring the allied advance to a halt but there is every- thing at present to indicate that it eannet be stopped. MORE WAYS OF SAVING. As it becomes pecessary to meet the many probjems in connection with the furnishing of supplies to cur army #nd navy in Europe efficieney is being given an opportunity to demonstrate itself and this is being done in many directions. ~What promises in he an especially important development in this line is the move which is being made to decrease the amount of space now required for shipping fresh beef not only te our forces but to all the allied couptries. Cargo space is ome' of the great netds in comnection with transporta- tion and it will be until the ship short- gge is overcome and when it is re- there are about a third of has detailed a’ college y officer to work with y I cmcago on_ experi- ments in euytting carcasses in differ- ent shapes boning thera 'mder the beilef that a saving of 40 per cent. in the space pequired to carry them can be saved. he idea is open to large posgibifities for if successtul it will not _enly save in steamship but in car space and at the same time the bones apd fats can be wogkeil up !nto byproducts right on the gpot without carrying them half way around the werld only in a_great many cases to have them wasted. It is an idea which necesgity has suggested and oge that gives_promise of working out well. DISGONTENT IN GERMANY. It is all right for Chancellor von Hertling to stand up before the main committee of the reichstag and de- clare that the public disgontent in Germany is not jugtified by the mili- tary situation op the western frant, but it is perfectly evident that the people of ‘Germany are ginning tp look at things in a different light, Buch being the case it is ¢f the yt- most impertance that the chancellor shounld do hig best to brace up 1tre populace and to try apd give' them new courage i® face the mew loan which is being floated there by paint- ing in glowing colors the picture of the past accomplishments of the Ger- man wér machine apd holdipg: out to the hope that the nrezemt slt- n i zoing to be overcome even as others, Which he claims were worse have heen met.

There is the opportunity net only tn secure advancement after improving their education but there is aisq the best chance in the world to get that edu- cational heip; even though they may have gotten beyond the second or third decade of their lives. With the efforts which are heing put forth by the authorities of the various comfhunities of the country to give help to these people, it is high time that they should realize the import- ance of rising to the occasion. They need ‘to get the hznefits of the educa- tiona! opportunities not only for them- selveg but for the good of the coun- try,-and it is likewise for the best in- terests of the nation that every en- couragement should be put in their way. The evening schools should be attended as they never were hefore. EDITORIAL NOTES. General Allenby didn't give his op- ponent an opportunity to claim a strategic retreat. Of course the more Bulgarian trcops there are who desert the smaller the number in danger of being captured.

When Secratary Daniels marches into Berlin behind the Marine band it is safe to say that he wiil not be alone. There is no reason for Helland to go without the foodstuffs it needs if it will but follow the example of neighbor neutrals.
