Norwich's quota for this loan is $2,- 260,000, a cool million over what it was asked to rais months ago and handsomely oversubscribed. h is by no means a small sum but oing to require the participation part of everybody. In fact it something which everyone should only be anxious to get into but everyone should be desirous of g the sacrifice which is required in order to reach the goal. With the period in which the loan is to be raised limited to 19 days it ans inat Norwich must make an average daily contribution of praeti-| Iy $11,000. There is no question what will be given the enthu- siastic start which it is entitled to, There wiil be the same spirit mani- fested here that there will be through- out the country, but it must be re- membered that it cannot be confined te one day, or that it can be allowed to lag in the remaining 18. The six on must be ralsed throughout the country and it will be. But each and every section, each and svery city, each and every individual nust respond to the appeal. We must tll tackle our task and swing into line with every dollar that can be com- nanded and Norwich must do its part. TREATY PROVISIONS. How extensive will be the changee which will be made to the food Pro: duction bill, the piece of legislation which includes the rider making the country dry from the first of next July and stopping the making of beer after the first of May, remains to be seen. The measure is now In the hands of the conferees who have a number of things t> consider before both houses will be in agreement. Not a littie attention is being given to the provision of the bill which calls for the stopping of the importa- tion of wines on the first of December of this year. .France, Italy, Spain and Portugal through their representatives have pointed out what an effect the «topping of this trade by this big wine producing countries will have, and it has been urged that in view of the economic treaties with these countries that foreign wines ought not to be denied entry as long as beer can be brewed here, or while it is possible to obtain stronger drink. Certainly it is no worse to drink foreign wines than it is to use beer and whiskey.

With the continuance of the pros- ress which has been made in the past two days, the taking of important German points, prisoners and mater- ial and the encroachment upon the lines whielr are needed not only to supply the German front but to get back the armies in case of a retreat, the situation is steadily becoming more serious for the Teutons, and at the same time with the galing to the north of Verdun the allies are work- ing up into a much more favorable position for striking at the important Rriey iron fields.

It ie all right for Hindenburz to urge the German people to be hard, hut from all accounts thay think that they are being used pretfy hard. Now that Trotzky has been fired at Lenine cannot claim that there has been any discrimination except that his assailant was the betier shot. As long as the claim that Metz is mmpregnable was made before the Americans entered the war, it is of course subject to modification now. The very fact that a Swedish gun- boat was sunk in the Skagerragk by a German mine will simply convince Germany that it ought not to have been there. With the advances which are being made in other theaters of the war, is there any wonder that Austria is trembling over the possibility of a drive on the part of the Itaiians? With another hole pushed into their ] g0odness of the Savier which is line for which such great defensive efforts have been made and so many lives sacrificed, the German people are due to become more dejected. than ever. With an average of three air ralds in two days during the month of August there is little wonder that the people in German cities are getting a bit nervous and discouraged. The Boy Scouts have dene much since they were organized but there was nothing small about their recent accomplishment in locating 15,000,000 feet of black walnut for the govern- ment. Just because the Liberty loan is for a big amount it is necessary to rut just that muck more energy into the raising of it. There's no getting away from the fact that it must be raised. Director General Schwab of the emérgency fleet corporation thinks that in 30 days Hog Island shipyard will be turning,out two ships a day.

Wretch- edness and happiness are conditions of the mind created by thought. The toiler can he happier than a Kking; and a millionaire can be as “wretched s a convict.

A superlative Japanese greeting is: “May you live a thousand years!"™ But who wouled desire to live a thousand vears in mortal life with its uncer- tainties I believe tradi n reveals to us that one or two of the secretaries have “liv- €d 500 years; and we are taught that Methnselah looked down up- on about 23 generations of men from mortal eyes. As we " be- hold men vanishing in the chinks Time has made before they are 40, we are very prone to doubt the measure of years used in the Long Ago. And vet if our spiritual teach- ing is true, and most of us believe it is, ten thousand years do not com- pass the life which bade us behold the heavens and witness the glory of God. Hope teaches us to reach out to God for eternal life as plant life reaches out for the rays of the sun for sus- taining power. We talk about eter- nity, but science teaches us it was 50 million vears ago, is and ever will be, so we are dwelling in “May we live a thousand vears” and acquire the more important than the wisdom of Sclo- mon. There are too many people in the world like old Mallinger “who ate! too much, drank too much and made too merry with othér people’s lives.” They indulge in every excess and wonder why they are not a success. There is onc thing life demends of us all, and that is temperance, which is not often interpreted in its breadth, hence many professedly temperate people are grossly intemperate. Tem- perance applies to all action and speech, hence a little temperance like a little learning is a dengerous thing. It s proverbial that the place to hear the most intemperate speech- es is at a temperance meeting: and one may witness the most intemperate eating at a charity dinner when cer- tain earnest =ouls' are bent upon getting their money’s worth, or at a charity ball where some are most wasteful of their strength and endur- ance. Consistency is likened upto a jewel because it is so rare.

(By Raymond Carroll With the Amer- ican Army to London Times) New murder traps have been set by the Germans to catch unwary Ameri- cans in the towns and cities from which the enemy has been driven. Un the floors in the houses were found glass bulbs, also bladders, full of phos- fene gas, to poison our men when =n- tering. Other depesits of the same gas were left in tiny bags uader hei- mets, as the Germans know that sou- venir collecting is a passion of Ameri- cans. The captain who led the advance patrol of 30 American soldiers into a captured town saw in the dining rov of a small hotel a loaf of bread uvor the table, with a knife sticking in it. specting a snare, he called upon a German prisoner just captured (o draw the knife. The effect was a folent exWlosion. A small Lomb i veen left within the loaf of bread, but only the prisgner was injured. When the captain first reached the hotel a German officer came out, speaking cellent English, and said that he de- red to surrender. The American pulled out his revolver and jumped back barely in time to escape a rain of bullets from an enemy mac'iine-gun hidden under an adjacent ceilar door and operated by arrangement with the German officer. A curious discovery in the cverating rcom of a hospital left by the enemy was some little rolls of crepe paper, which the Germans have been usirg for dressing wounds, showinz that they have little cloth left. We also discovered that some burned bits of harness left behind, instead of lea- ther, were made from composite paper and hemp. Machine-guns, which have practically supplanted rifles with the Germans, are undoubtedly the bane of the overseas soldier, yet the Americans throw themselves against the pernic- jous weapons with almost superiiuman audacity. These Kugelspritze, set up ir. rocky nests, clumps of bushes, or along ridges commanding fields of - cut n, are handled bv an experi- enced enemy, who keeps his presence of mind and offers the most desperate type of resistance before his opponents can come to hand-to-hand conflicts, where the superiority of the fresh and well-fed American troops always man- ifests itself. In successivé relays the victorious Franco-Americans from north and northwest of Chateau-Thierry have ypressed forward until the lines noav press upon the morth bank of the Vesie, vatrols having crossed the stream. The Vesle cannot be forded e the Ourq, having an average width 50 to 75 feet, below deep-cut banks.

One captain led his men shouting “Let us go in smiling” during the fight at close quarters at Hill 230. A geant, with a rifle in one hand and a trench knife in the other, stocd liks a Roman gladiator over a huge Germaan he had beaten to his knees. His len- tenant said: “When I reached him it looked for a moment as if the German was done for. He was begging for merey, and the sergeant was cursing him in his own language for following the kaiser. We have many boys of German-American ancestry in our ranks. They are splendid -men.

Millions ‘of dollars’ werth of German supplies have been destroyed by the retreating enemy. The whole horizon at night is a succession of yi- gantic red. patches, with occasional rears of touched-off ammunition which they could net remove. The exceptional daring and feariess- ness of the American troops in France is explained by a stern, good-natured competition between the descendants of different races, fighting side by side in our small units. Each is deter- mined to outshine his rival in the ranks beside him. This matching of individual fighting capacity is believed by our generals to produce a higher range of personal valor than the Ger- mnan army system, which pits the Ba- varians, Saxons, Prussians, and others against each other in large gro gendering hitter sectional host As showing the character of Anrerican system, two army stenc- graphers, one a German-American, the other an Irish-American, at a certain headquarters got into a dispute as to who was personaily the bravest. They set off alone on a dark night, passe our forward lines, entered a German trench, bringing back a prisoner, who was forced by the Irish-American ‘o help to carry his slightly wounded German-American comrade. The dis- Fute is still unsettled, but the men have each a profound respect for tha other. Views of tmntes WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? By E. E. Harriman of the Vigilantes. This war wiil end some day. Some folks are alre v planning what they will do after is over. Are' we? er day that the Ger- man and Austrian prisoners now in Russia had resolved, almost to a man, that they would not go back to their former homes when the war ended, but would emigrate to the United States and Canada. What will our twin coun- tries say to them? There is only one line of conduct that we can follow with honor and common sense. We must say to the Hun in Burope, in America, in Asia anywhere he may be found: “‘Get to work within the confines of your own country! Build up and puri- fy your land. Purge it of the filth that clogs its spirit. Wash it clean of the evil it has clung to so long. Refine it with years of sacrifice. and earnest work for the right. Then, after the leaven has worked and passing de- cades have carried away the last grain of the old devilish doctrines and be- liefs, then it is possible that the na- tions may grant. you amnesty and' let you go out through the world at large once more.

Allowing him to have the same old freedom to come to our shores would be as foolish, and as disastrous in-the end, as it would be to smother a fire with cotton loosely piled. President Wilson and his advisers have a great many matters to handle and many questions to decide. Let us not leave them to do all the thinking or all the talking on this question. The American people are concerned to such a degree in this matter that they should not delegate to any man or hody of men the task of thinking for them. They should do their own thinking and when they have had time to formulate a plan that looks feasible and thor- oughgoing, they should say to their servants at Washington, from the president down: “Here! You put this through along the line we have laid down. It is no time for fooling or for doing party politiecs. Put up the bars and spike them fast, so no one can slip them. We have a stomachful and we must have time to digest it before we swallow any more!” Then get busy with the American of foreign birth and Americanize him or throw him over the bars, to the soil that bore him.
